The Job of Killing a Man.

The Utah legislature has repealed its in
famous shotgun execution" law, and will
hereafter electrocute condemned murderers.
The gun was no improvement over the gal
lows, Utah found. Hence the electric chair.
Utah. you remember, inaugusted' the shot
gun execution" some years ago. Murderers
were given the privilege" of choosing be-
tween the rope and the bullet. Most elected
to be launched into eternity by aid of the
sun. So far, SO good. The law provided that
FIVE citizens should be chosen to do the shoot
ing. At the last shotgun execution rs men
applied for the job. Only five were chosen,
and were paid $40 each for sending q bullet
into human heart. That shooting set the
state to thinking. Some citizens argued that
such large list of ready shooters indicated
growing desire to, take human life. legally.
and for price,. Of course, but killing, just
the same
There were more applicants for the shoot
ing job at the last execution than at others;
the list Of ready killers seemed growing.
Utah decided to call halt before the state
was crowded with men overly anxious to take
human life at $40 per shot.

Helping the Miners. $

Every day or SO newspapers print dis.
patches telling of miners who lost their lives
in explosions. or who are trapped in mines and
die of suffocation. Many perils come to those
who toll underneath the ground that others
railroads and other institutions may have the
fuel which generates the power to operate en-
gines and big manufacturing plants The life
of coal miner is never an enviable one and
the risk is often very great.
Illinois miners are now being taught mine
rescue and first aid work by a specially
equipped United States government car work.
ing under the supervision of the federal bu-
reau of mines.
The car is supplied with an engineer, fore
man miner. first aid miner, physician, clerk
and cook, and special instruction is given to
classes on the car while it is parked near the
mines.
Nearly two hundred men received the mine
rescue instruction at Pana and were granted
certificates to that effect by the federal bureau.
Following this course they were examined by
officials from the state department Of mines
and minerals and will be given state GER
tifcates. Some Of the accidents that take
place in mines seem to be unavoidable, and
perhaps the element Of risk can never be
entirely eliminated Every time miner starts
to his work he faces possible accident or death.
Through federal and state cooperation, how
ever, much can be done to reduce the risk to
. minimum, and at least every possible pre-
caution can be- taken. And there cannot be
too much instruction given in mine rescue and
first aid.
We owe that to the men who dig our coal
There are comparatively few who want the
Job very badly, and those who do follow the
work for livelihood ought to be protected to
the fullest extent. The expense Of operating
the government car is an item which should
be cheerfully borne by taxpayers.
