1t is credtable to both the intelligence and the

Ecstatic victories the public expense both

The complaint is that there are not enough dis

To burn down a well-flled barn drive out

would not even leave rat ration.
The suggestion is plainly a counsel of insanity.

that it is strange that it finds chilly reception
except in the parlors of amateur Bolsheviss.
The general strike is an invention of the half

THE LESSON OF THE ARGONAUT NINE

The Argonaut disaster in California. has

fate in the future comments the Editor of the En-
cheering and Mining Journal-Press of New York.
The burning of Iroquos Theatre in Chicago, led
the adoption of the asbestos stage curtain and the
provision adequate fire exits the burning wood
excursion steamers in New York harbor led to
more rigid inspection and condemnation of such
The victims Of the hellish Herrin massacre
will not have died in vain if there been thereby

Argonaut fire should be the last the long list of
fire disasters in metal mines, which might have been
prevented, the solemn date of the enombment of the
Amador County miners may eventually to have
some hing in it relieve the sinister recollection.
Why should such pains be taken to render a
building freproof and less for mine? Especially
why should fire escapes be required by law for a
forty-foct building and for a two-thousand-foot
mine? In general. if a metal mine catches fire less
easily than a buding-and even this is open to
question: fire in a metal mine is far danger
and deadly because of the poison gases bera ed
by the burning wood, from which there is often little
chance of escape.
The efforts of the Bureau of Mines, which has
specialized mine safety have been principally in
the direction of through the of gas masks
and other devices, after the catastrophe. These
methods valuable. but how inadequate in the face
of real disaster is evident We should like request
the Bureau of Mines to focus its attention the
problem of fire in mines, and having
worked out the souton-and the problem evidently
capable of solution-to devote its energies to seeing
that adequate measures enforced by law.

AN EVENING PRAYER
FURNISHED by DIR. w. A. ALLEN.)

good Lord. what dost Thou do? Is this world
dear to Thee? Dost Thou love man? Our souls shake
within us and full of anguish when look
upon the face OF man. and how men betray:
how hate and devour; how full of wretchedness
and sin the world is, that repeating itself
from generation generation; how the voice of time
is wall; how many things sad to behold.
Art Thou forever indifferent to those things which
mar? o Lord reveal the right hand of Thy power.
Come; for this desolate earth doth wait for Thy
coming. more than for the coming of the sunshine
and the gentle rain. Amen.

II II Fits

No man likes to be called fool,
them from acting like fools.
If girls were as particular about
getting the facts about mans life
before marrying him as life insur-
ance companies are before insuring
him the Divorce Courts would look
like Goldsmiths deserted village.
It's funny, considering what temp
tation leads to- You never hear the
newspapers having the opportunity
to describe the crowds fleeing from
it as a stampede
We have also discovered the man
without any ideas isn't nearly so big
bore as the bird with one idea.
Parents never realize how ignorant
they are until their children get old
enough to tell them whore to head
in. And children, these days, are
old enough to do that just as soon
as they are able to talk.
Human nature is so darn contrary
that we are convinced that if the
eighteenth amendment had demand
ed everybody drank, 80 per cent Of
the population would be stunning
liquor like they would smallpox.
Following the fashions may be
foolish. but any woman can tell you
she would be considered a bigger
fool if she did not follow them, at
least at respectful distance.
Some people have big enough ears,
but what goes in them doesn't make
any more impression on them than
what goes in mules ears does on
it. And you can't get the force of
this unless you have tried to tell a
mule something.
About all the descent some folks
have made from the monkeys is in
getting out OF the trees.
A woman can stand having her
shoes so tight they nearly kill her,
but she just can't be comfortable a
second If she thinks her nose looks
shiny.
Judging from the publicity given
them, the greatest wonder of the
age is not wireless, nor airplanes,
nor automobiles, but the short skirts
that showed women have legs.
When it comes to counting our
blessings most of us are pretty poor
at arithmetic
The angels may rejoice over the
one sinner that repcnts. but our
scandal mongers got moro joy out
of good man going wrong. That's
why it would be so much nicer If all
the ncighbor women were angels.
The bird who sows wild oats is the
one farmer who never has to worry
about his crop being a failure.
Matches are made in heaven al
right, but what causes so many di-
vorces is thar people who are not
matched insist upon marrying.
Well. whether fashions succeed in
bringing back long skirts may be a
matter of conjecture. burt it's darn
certain the coal and railroad strikes
have brought long faces back alright
Many man who married a pretty
face found all he got was an ugly
disposition.
II his business is causing her hus-
band TO lose weight a wife may
worry, but her real worry begins
when she starts to gain weight.
