 Thus the speech of Mr. Cummings which is by custom called keynote speech is rather speech accounting It does not concern itself much with done as with what done?

A RINGING CHALLENGE

The great virtue of Cummings address is that he selects the real issues and endeavors to hammer them home. To one or two of them, notably the Federal Re- serve Act, he does less than jus tice, committing the unusual er- TOT of giving his party less credit than it deserves. But his recital Of Democratic achievements is high ly effective; his indictment of the Republican platform. although brief, is pointed; his characterize ton of the undertaking investi- gations into the conduct of the war glows with justiflable indig- nation, and his presentation of the necessity for the League, not merely League of Nations is inspired with an appreciation of the world situation that is not any too common even among the for nal supporters of the President. Upon the vagueness of the Re- publican plank on the League he is severe. giving a delightful demonstration of how it analyzes into nothing. But he is trying for more than negative results. In dealing with this lofty theme he recalls the hopes with which we entered the war and the armistice, and the tragic manner of their gradual dissipation. He cannot / bring himself to believe that the defeat of the dream is final, and his able and ardent plea com- municates his feeling to his read CTS.
 The central question here is: What about reservations. Cum mings realizes the importance or definite answer. Tt is not reservations that the President stands against he declares. "but notification" This may be taken as an indication of what the plat form utterance upon this crucial point will be. It clarifies the is- sue as neither Senator Lodges speech nor the Chicago platform crats are starting out by putting their best foot foremost. Gum nings is silent upon prohibition one issue he avoids. But MT. Bryan can be trusted to look out for that. With all it's defects, the Cummings speech gives the Democratic convention, and not only the Democratic convention but also the Democratic cam paign, an excellent send-off- It will make first class campaign document. It must put spirit into a party that was too much inclined to regard the battle as lost in advance. It is sure to rouse the fighting blood of the dele gates and of the voters back home. It is ringing challenge for a clearer note than has yet been struck in the Republican camp.-N. Y. Evening Post.

Chairman Cummings' keynote" speech at San Francisco is the antithesis of Senator Lodges pitt full attempt at Chicago. Lodge was drearily perfunctory; Cum mings is vibrant with conviction. Both speeches are, in the nature of the case. partisan, but Lodges partisonship sounded professional; it was petty, eager to score points. Cummings is the partisan On fire not so much for his party as for his cause. Lodges speech was adapted to move his hearers to intellectual agreement with him. Cummings is the kind that goes to the heart of an audience and -s sends it into outbursts of enthu- asm. Lodges task was to take the offensive against the Admin. istration, while to Cummings fell its defence, but it is Cummings who forces the fighting. Follow ing the highest strategy. he makes his defensive an offensive defens- i've It is not too much to say of his speech that, delivered with an oratorical power equal to it's rhetorical force, it might easily have landed it's author at a stroke in the front rank of contenders for the Democratic nomination for President.
 This does not mean that it is an unanswerable speech or that in spots it is not more adroit than cogent. Here and there Cummings had to face stubborn fact or gloss over an inconvenient cir constance In beginning his at tar. upon the present Repnbli- can Congress. for instance, he as- serts that the Republicans won the election of 1918 upon the faith of alluring promises" If ever a Congressional election was plainly a vote of no confidence in an Administration, it was the election of 1918. No promises, a1luring or otherwise, were neces- sary, although it is true that the Republicans went out of their way to make some. Again, in his long but forcible discussion of the struggle over the Treaty, he places the sole responsibility for its final defeat upon the Republi- can Senators, conveniently forget ting that the Democratic Sena- tors were almost equally divided upon the reservations and ignor- ing the palpable fact that most of those who voted to reject the doc ument with the reservations that had been attached to it only awaited a word from the White House to join their colleagues in ratifying. This division among the Democratic Senators also takes away part of the point of Cum mings' taunt that Republican control of the Senate was due to a tainted Senatorial vote from Michigan"

ELDcTR1FYING THE RAILROADS.


 About. 15o. o.ooo,ooo tons of coal were consumed by the railroads in the year 1917. If the roads were all elec- trifed, this consumption would be cut down to 5o.OOO,o00 tons. And if water power could be substituted for power generated by burning coal, the whole 150,ooo,00o tons could be saved, and one of the great costs of production and of living would thus be reduced.
 With the growing cost of coal. and the increased cost of labor to mine it, the country must consider more seri- ously the need for rapid advance in identification.
 The cost of such an improvement would be enormous. With capital as scarce as it now is, It is impossible to make any rapid progress in this direction. Only through increased savings by the people, can this great step toward conservation of resources and lower cost of living be made.

GAS TAKES THREE LIVES
IN MARSH MINE SHAFT
ONE OF THEM, FRED BERGEN
WE'LL KNOWN AND POPU-
LAR MINING MAN.

The Marsh mine last Friday was
the scene of one of the most deplor-
able accidents i'm the history of this
district through which three men.
one of them the superintendent of She
mine, lost their lives. When the night
shift came on Friday morning Fred
Bergen, who was i'm charge of opera
tons, was lowered down the shaft to
start the pump 10y closing the air
valve which had been left open to
blow the smoke and gas out follow
ing the blasting the evening before.
Mr.. Bergen signaled to raise and
when the bucket came up it was
empty Alarmed at his failure to
come up, three men were lowered at
once and two of them never came
back. The third one. W. j. Grimmett
managed to escape by climbing the
ladder and reported the presence of
gas. to which the three men had sue
cumbed. Helmet men from the Hecla
and Hercules mines were hurriedly
summoned and upon going down the
shaft found that the unfortunate men,
being suddenly overcome by gas, had
fallen into the stump containing about
10 feet of water and drowned The
bodies were recovered in the after
noon and brought to Wallace The
