AMERICA GROWING CAREFUL

Careless America is growing less care
less" This is the conclusion of "The
American Machinest" (New York;, based
on an advance summary Of the 1917 NOR
tality statistics received by the National
Safety Council from the United States Cen
sus Bureau. This is despite the fact that
some kinds Of accidents increased during
that year; for the total of accidental
deaths in the death-registratiOn area of
continental United States was reduced
approximately $500 as compared with the
previous year. This result is attributed by
the writer to the neutrality-suspicious. move
ment Of the last few years Quoting the
statistics exactly, the total number Of
deaths caused by accidents during 1917
was 1854 as against 6O,072 during the
previous year. Inasmuch the death-reg-
istration area takes in only 70 per cent, Of
the population it is apparent that more
than 10000 persons were killed in acci-
dents throughout the United States in that
Year The report received by the National
Safety Council summarizes the causes of
accidents as follows:
''The greatest number of deaths charg-
ed to any one accidental cause lila, or
14.8 per 100000, is shown for falls. The
rate for this cause varies but slightly from
year to year.

A COLD BLOODED MURDER

However much we may condemn one man
for destroying the home of another, by
alternating the affections of his wife, yet
we do not advocate or in anywise cOun-
tenance or approve Of the wronged man
taking the law into his own honds, and do
ing even more than the law itself would
do, were it allowed to take it's course.
Man in his wise and sober thoughts, here
or no where else has seen fit to nfict the
death penalty on the moral wreclzers of
homes and there is no excuse or justifca-
tiOn for one man to take the life of anoth-
YER man under such circumstances, and of
all men never an officer Of the law In
our opinion the police officer, who last
Sunday evening shot to death a fellow Of
ficer in Seattle, because forsooth he had or
was about to ailienate the affections Of
his wife, is guilty of murder in the first de-
gree, and should be punished accordingly.
His wife was Of sound mind and did will
fully and of her own free will leave her
home and meet the deceased in order to
revel in his affections and the husand
knew such had been going on from time to
time but followed them on this particular
occasion evidently with the avowed pur-
pose of doing exactly what he did do, kill
his rival, hence we repeat in our opinion,
he is guilty of cold blooded murder. When
he realized that his wife no longer loved
him, but had transferred her former love for
him to another man he should have shown
himself to be a man and if not a man. at
]east an officer of the law and wiDed his
hands clear of both of them, but no he
follows them and resorted to one of the
most cowardly acts in the category Of man
against man, shooting his opponent in the
back There might have been some
tenuating circumstances had he met him
face to face, and shot him down, but to
shoot him in the back, the newspaper
evidence seem to indicate, he committed
cowardly act and there is no punishment
on our statute books for such crimes too
severe to be meted out to him. On the
other hand we believe a law should be en-
acted with a death penalty for any man
wrecking the home of another. We are
even not averse to the enforcement of the
unwritten law when husband finds man
in his home in compromising position
with his wife, but there is absolutely no use
of law and enforcers of law if the law
is not to be lived up to. The last man that
would be expected to break the law is an
officer of the law and more especially when
he has ample time for deliberation. Doubt
less tre husband had just as good excuse to
have killed his betrayer months ago as he
did last Sunday evening and, if this be
true, then he is doubly culpable for his
cowardly act last Sunday night.

gathering associations have told it. Again the pu-
bile have not been given the true story of the steel
that some of the strikers very high priced men
They have been earning from $1s to $25 per day
each. They struck to make the mills adopt closed
shop rule. The great majority of the men were
paid moderate wages. But when the high priced
men quit the others could not work. Yet the public
have been led to believe that the entire force of
mill realized the big figures.
Then there is another fact that has not been
given out The mills are running, to great ex-
tent. In some cases high priced men have not quit
their jobs, and they continue to produce STEEL In
other cases new men have been put upon the ma
chimes and are producing something that is not fit
to market and it goes into the scrap pile to be miled
again and again After time these men will pro-
duce Steel and the scrap pile will get their product
no longer. The steel strike is broken. The men
who quit will not return to work. while the men who
took their places will make steel without asking for
closed shop. But those facts are not printed.
The big papers will not tell that the steel mills are
milling their products, making new operatives;
and labor papers Will not admit that the steel strike
is broken, tell how it was done In face Of all
these facts, one would fain ask again. "What is
TRUTH"

Louis Swift, Chicago packer, L. D.
Weld of the Swift Packing concern,
and Dwight B. Heard of Phoenix,
Arizona, former president of the
American National Livestock Asso-
citation, engaged in lively discussion
over the Kenyon endrick bill at San
Francisco last Thursday. Heard is
member of the livestock committee
which is advocating passage of the
bill. Swift and Weld declared the
measure for the control of the pack
ing industry was likely to result in
incompetent outsiders being put in
charge of the packing houses and said
the government management of the
railroads during the war was a sam
pie of what the packing industry
would face.
Heard replied that the bill did not
contemplate national operation of
packing houses but rather a control
similar to that over the national
banks. For implication that the meas
ure was socialistic, he said, the men,
bers of the American National Live
stock Association committee working
for it's passage were business men
seeking more money for the livestock
producers and lower prices for the
consumers.

The Wonders Of America
THE NEW YORK STATE BARGE
CANAL.
BY r. T. MAxEY

TO open the western country and
j provide safe and cheap transpor-
tation for market-bound products, the
improvement of the waterways was
an absolute necessity. Governor De-
Witt Clinton dreamed Of state-own-
ed canal. The route was inspected
and approved by President George
Washington, engineer and surveyor.
The Erie canal, opened in 1925, four
feet deep, AZ feet wide and floating
boats carrying 30 tons, was the result.
Many laughed at it, calling it "Clin-
toms Big Ditch" In conjunction with
the Niagara river, it connected Lake
Erie and the Hudson river.
Prior to its opening Philadelphia
was Americas greatest seaport. At
ter its completion, the shipping nat
urally went to New York and the
splendid chain of prosperous cities
which won for New York the title of
Empire state, sprang up along the
route. The canal did such an enor-
nous business that in 1908, the people
of the state decided to. make 1t
barge canal, hence the name.
The present main canal is II feet
deep, Is to 200 feet wide, 339 miles
long and has three branches aggre-
eating 100 miles in length. 1t Is one
of the worlds greatest engineering
feats and is ten times as long as the
Panama canal. 1t contains 81 locks
each 1923 feet long and As feet wide
Five at Waterford have a combined
lift of 169 feet and are the greatest
series of high-lift locks in the world
Three hundred or more bridges, car
rying railroads and public highways
cross this canal. The total cost ap-
proximated $15OOO0,OO0, and is being
paid by the people of the Empire state

Powell, International smelter fore
man, was shot and dangerously
wounded by his wife. He had sued
her for divorce, but did not get it
and had put notice in paper that
he was not responsible for debts. His
wife went to their home with their
17-year-old boy to get some effects
allowed her by the court when she
says that Powell appeared on the
scene and attacked the boy; that she
shot to brighten him away; and when
he failed to brighten she shot him.

D. A. Gilchrist, rodent control lead
er of the Biological Survey and Ag-
ricultural Extension Service, made a
field trip of inspection recently on the
Sitgreaves National Forest. Here in
1867, tons of poisoned grain were
distributed to kill prairie dogs, and
today large areas have been COM
plpetely cleared up. The old dog
holes are now closed up, and for miles
and miles the finest kind of grama
grass, knee deep, spreads out, await
ing the grazing of cattle and sheep.
1t is a most remarkable demonstra-
ton of what can be done in eradica-
ton of rodent pests.

THE EMPLOYER.

rT'HE man who owns the posthole works gets sym
pathy from none; we sympathize with all his
clerks, who say they need more mon; and with
the artisans SIGH when they the story TELL of how
But for the owner of the place no pity spare
though furrowed is his weary face, and CRAVING is
his hair His grievances inspire ODE his troubles
are bore, though he's the man who bears the load,
the man who walks the floor. He is the man who
stands the gaff, who wrestes with despair, and
while his merry workmen laugh he tears his scanty
hair The toilers work eight hours day, and leave
the factry door, and sloch around and sing and play,
but he works twenty-four. Oh with the janitor we
weep when he his woes has traced, whose limousine
is poor and cheap, his diamonds mostly paste. And
to the man who keeps the books we all in pity draw,
and hear his tale, and say "Gadzooks! There ought
to be law!" But pity seldom is bestowed on him
who needs it more upon the man who bears the load
the man who walks the floor.
