East hour reform Is I tetter than
none at all, but it remains noticeable
that in the proposed reduction of
salaries of city officials the -hoe is
built to pinch the foot of the other
fellow.
This district is out of a mild win
ter season with an excellent record
for good health tacked to the sign
post for the eyes of the wayfarer.
We are a most fortunate camp in
many ways.
Investments in the legitimate en
terprises of this district, mining, rail
road. realty, commercial and indus
trial. means the putting of dollars
where they will multiply rapidly
through a great many years to come.
Hunt the country over and a district
more solidly grounded in met it and
real worth, assuring long time pros
perity of the highest, will not tie
found.
After a couple years of rich feed
ing. the bears are about at the end
of their rope. They have had an
awful drubbing in the wheat market
the last month or two and now it is
the turn of the mining and industrial
stocks to even up old scores. Tile
way they will do it in the next sev
eral months will reward the opti
mistic immensely.
The | ivsetit year will witness an
era of substantial home building in
this camp of greater »xtent than ever
before known in any mining camp
tow-n or city in the state. These
homes are going to be built and ow n
ed by the working people of the
camp, in time they will make it tht
greatest home owning working cen
ter in all the west. And it is the
home owning center that is the most
dependable, the most esteemed, the
ltest governed, the happiest and the
most prosperous In tin* entire list
Governor Harmon and his party
ire of course expected to kick about
present tarllT legislation, Its manner,
form and all Things pertaining there
to Otherwise they would not rep
resent the noble emblem of Democ
racy. So Democrat Is expected to
agree with a Republican view, and
in recent years no two Democrats
have found it good form to agree
upon a single Democratic view. It
is the party of disagreement, protest,
obstruction and non-accomplishment
and as such its protests against Re
publican performances, delivery of
the goods, amounts to no more than
idle wind.
The close money times of the last
two years have not boon without
large benefit. They have accomplish
ed more in cleaning the mud from
stock flotation operations than have
all other efforts. The clean charac
ter of new flotations now coming be
fore the public, as I ho outcome of
improving times, tells strikingly of
the lesson learned. The public lias
had opportunity during the dull pe
riod to see on the Inside and size up
the works that make various enter
prises go. In consequence the public
is better able today than ever before
to judge of what is gloss and what
is real merit. In consequence it is
up to the peddlers of gloss to keep
in the background, and they are do
ing it. Meanwhile the legitimate
promoter and the legitimate property
or enterprise will reap benefits which
they have long been entitled to a
clear field for the garnering.
TJte crusade of Oklahoma's imsl
I
ness organizations to rescue that
state from the demagogues who are
in control of It. is bringing good re
sults. No state ever had a better
chance at the outset to make a rep
utation which would be a large as
set in expanding and diversifying its
industries. It missed its opportunity,
however. Right at the beginning it
allowed itself to fall Into the hnnds
or a band of featherheads who, in
and out of the constitutional conven
tion and in and out of the legisla
ture^ played fanatic tricks which
brought the state into disrepute. The
Democrats had an overwhelming ma
jority in the constitutional conven
tion. They elected the state ticket,
controlled the legislature, chose the
two United States senators, and elect
ed four out of the state's live mem
bers of the popular branch of con
gress. It was a bad start for a state
with such resources as Oklahoma to
make. Its business men of till par
ties quickly saw the harm which Gov
ernor Haskell and his demagogic as
sociates were inflicting upon their
state and began to organize to over
throw them Under the impulse for
sane government which is exerting
itself in Oklahoma the Republicans
all over the state are getting them
selves Into shape to make n winning
canvass In the approaching election.
Unhappily, Haskell's term will not
lend until the beginning of 1911, so
that his successor can not he chosen
till a year and two-thirds hence. Hut
the business organizations of the
j state which are behind the Reputfli
! caus realize that preparations to oust
the gang which is in the saddle at
Guthrie can not begin too early, and
they are planning for a victorious
campaign in if*]".

Kucidal Shot.
NEW YORK, April 14.—After
sending a bullet through his head.
Max Lander, a machinist, ttissed the
revolver upon the bed and said calm
ly to a group of men who rushed into
the room at a Greenwich street hotel:
"Well. I guess (his will finish me. I
■ think I’ve done a good job.”
When an ambulance surgeon ar
, rived from the Hudson street hospital
Max was shaking hands all around
and talking as volubly as a man
[ about to go on a pleasure trip. There
was a wound in his right temple, just
! back of and a little above the eye.
and a smilar one, though somewhat
larger, in the left temple, where the
bullet came out.
"Guess I put the pistol too close
to my temple and burned it, because
; it smarts a lot on the right side."
Max said, as the surgeon was hastily
i bandaging ills head. "I ought to
have known better. Otherwise I’nt
feeling line."
"No need of it," he said as a
stretcher was brought in. "Did not
shoot myself in the feet, you know,
doctor."

Governor Thomas R. Marshall of
Indiana, was another speaker. He
declared the “general welfare” clause
of the federal constitution had been
“perverted, distorted and made the
mother of evils untold.”
Governor Marshall said the pres
ent tariff did not Indicate an effort

will be raised.
"Rather,” said he, “it indicates the
ravages of a band of hungry advo
cates of special privileges trying not
to put money into the national treas

shareholders.”
The dinner was national in charac

Experts Declare Eliiiiiiuil ion of
Dust Would Save Many
Front Consumption.
“The Mortality from Consumption
In Dusty Trades” is the subject of an
article bv Frederick F. Hoffman, in
Bulletin No. 79 of the bureau of
labor, department of commerce and
labor. The writer discusses tlie pro
fess and working conditions in oc
cupations where, because of dust, the
employment is injurious to health
and leads to the development of con
sumption in particular. Much valu
able material front official sources and
from insurance mortality experience
is presented, showing the excessive
mortality in dusty occupations.
Forty-two occupations are consider
ed, divided into groups according as
they are subject to exposure to met
allic dust, mineral dust, vegetable
fibre dust, or animal and mixed fibre
dust.
Of tlie deaths from all causes
among males 15 years of age and
over in the registration area of the
United States. 14.8 per cent, were
from consumption. According to in
dustrial Insurance experience the cor
responding proportions were 36.9 per
cent, for occupations exposed to met
allic dust, 28.6 per cent, for those ex
posed to mineral dust. 2 4.8 per cent,
for those exposed to vegetable fibre
• dust, and 32.1 per cent, for those ex
posed to animal and mixed fibre dust.
The occupation showing the highest
consumption mortality was grinders,
among whom 49.2 per cent, of all
deaths were front consumption.
FRITH AF AGE FROM 23 TO 34.
In each occupation group the high
est consumption mortality was
among persons from 25 to 34 years
of age, the proportion of deaths from
consumption for that age group being
57.2 per cent, in occupations exposed
to metallic dust, 4 7.6 per cent, in
those exposed to mineral dust, 53.9
per cent. In those exposed to vege
table fibre dust, and 53.3 per cent, in
those exi»osod to animal and mixed
fibre dust, as compared with 31.3 per
cent, for till males in the registration
area.
in collection with the Industrial in
surance mortality experience, oottpa
tional mortality statistics are present
ed from the reports of the United
States census, British official reports,
and the occupation mortality statistics
of Rhode Island, which furnish addi
tional evidence of the health In
jurious effects of exposure in tin* oc
cupations considered. These In
jurious effects are reflected in the
comparatively small portion of per
sons of advanced years, a higher gen
eral death rate, and very high specific
death rates from consumption and
other respiratory diseases.
It is tlie opinion of the author that
by intelligent methods of ventilation
and dust removal tin- consumption
death rate among wage earners can
be reduced front 2.2 per 1060, tlie
rate based on the number of deaths
among gainfully employed persons 10
years of age and over in the registra
tion states in 1900 to 1.5 per 1000,
the average rate for 200 small cities,
as shown in tlie mortality statistics of
the United Slates census for 1901 to
1 905.
FIFTEEN YEARS MORE OF FIFE.
Such a reduction, the author esti
mates. would result in an annual sav
ing of 22,238 human lives and would
add 15.4 years of life for every death
from consumption avoided by
rational conditions of industrial life.
Such a gain would represent a total
of 342,465 years of additional life
time, and by so much the industrial
efficiency of the American nation
would lie increased. Placing the
economic value of a year's lifetime at
only $200. the total average econo
mic gain to the nation would lie
$3 080 for every avoidable death of a
wage earner from consumption, rep
resenting the enormous total of $68,
493,000 as the aggregate annual
financial value of adult human life.
With such results clearly within the
range of practical attainment, noth
ing within reason should be left un
done as a national, state and in
dividual or social duty to prevent
that needless, but now enormous loss
of human life from consumption due
1 to the unfavorable conditions In
American industry.
