A man who desired to learn the bent
of his boys mind in order to determine
what profession he should enter, put
him in room with a bible, an apple
and a dollar bill. If he found the boy
reading the bible, he would put him
in the clergy; if he ate the apple he
would be a farmer if the greenback
caught his fancy he would be a
banker; When he returned to dis
cover the value of his experiment, he
found the boy sitting on the bible, the
dollar bill in his pocket and eating the
apple. The inference was plain. The
father made a politician of him.

Doctors Recommend
Safety Goggles

There is one simple way of protect
ing eyes from injury from hazardous
industries and sports.
Physician members of the Minnesota
State Medical Associations Committee
on Public Health Education point the
way out today because accidents are
still one of the major causes Of blind
ness in Minnesota.
Goggles made of non-shatterable
glass are recommended by the commit
tee for wear in all factories where there
is danger from fragments of metal or
stone or glass; for farmers whenever
their work involves any danger to the
eyes and in all dangerous sports.
People who have already lost the
sight of one eye are especially urged by
| the physicians to wear protective
goggles of non-shatterable glass even
if no retroactive correction is needed and
only plain glass is used. Sight in the
good eye is too precious to risk even
to the casual hazard of foreign particles
on the streets or at work.
1.-The value of these protective goggles
has been amply shown in factories
where they are compulsory for all en-
ployeeS," the bulletin declares "In
one large plant where there is con-
slant danger of flying particles in the
eyes of the workers, the number OF
serious accidents to eyes was reduced
from $40 to 7 in one year through
compulsory use of goggles"
Nowadays there is greater danger OF
serious eye injury in sports and on
the farm, the doctors say. Goggles
would help the situation;-a dis
position to get help Immediately fol-
any accident to the eyes.
The doctors especially warn against

From the Ely Times
Friday. November %, 1891

With the clearing of the Mariska
Saturday night from the port of Two
Harbors, the season of ore shipments
from that port closed. The boats OF the
Minnesota Steamship company, six in
number, maintained the reputation OF
the fleet as the pacemakers of the
Great Lakes. The average time OF all
for the round trip of 1,77S miles and
loading and discharging cargoes was
seven days, no matter what may have
been the condition of weather and
water. In June the Mariska made the
best round trip on record, exactly six
days, two hours and thirty minutes. The
total tonnage of the fleets trips from
Two Harbors was 29O,49O tons, a little
over 10000 tons per boat.

ELLIOTT RESIGNATION

ELLxO11 nES1SINA "A AtON
AS this column said, in criticizing
Elliott Roosevelt's appointment. it is
inconceivable to me that Elliott gave
a thought to its destructive implica-
tons. Elliott resigned in order to
register for the draft, giving as
his reason the injurious effect of his
appointment on the selective service
program. In my opinion, that was
a courageous and proper thing to do.
1t is harder to acknowledge an at
tempt to retrieve an error than it
is to bull it through.
But it is much manlier and, in this
case, more patriotic. believe that
the resignation was in good faith and
that it relieves Elliott from any criti-
cism except his original misin-
formed judgment.
Not so much can be said Of Cen
eral Echols' refusal to accept" the
resignation.
As matter of law, Echols has no
more to do with that than I have.
A resignation goes to the appointing
authority, who alone can accept or
reject it. That authority is the Pres
ident, here represented by the war
department, not Echols.
The success of the draft depends
absolutely on popular confidence in
its administration. In this respect
it differs from any other department
Of the war effort.
Experience has proved over and
over again that you can't get away
with CONSUMPTION in an Anglo-Saxon
country without an almost religious
popular and patriotic faith and zeal.
I believe more blame is due to
regular air corps officers in not
properly advising Elliott in the first
instance than to Elliott himself. That
blame still continues in General
Echols' rejection of the resignation
ION my own responsibility" He has
no responsibility. This rejection is
pure bunk. It will fool nobody.
If these regular officers had pur-
pose either to serve or please the
President in the original appoint
ment or in this false move, they are
doing the reverse Of both.
