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.

Ill I.LET TAIN MM^l'Al'ITY. Great Flow of Words Only Follows 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."

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 1 so to adjust schedules that revenue 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 ury but into the pockets of their shareholders.” The dinner was national in charac • ter, a number of prominent Demo crats from other states being present Including Senator George E. Cham- i berlln, of Oregon. At the guest tables were Governors I Harmon and Marshall. Senator Cham berlin, State Senatoi Grady, John Fox, the club's president; Richard Croker, Alton H.

WOI I.I* ADD YEARS TO WORKERS' FIVES. 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. »♦♦♦♦♦♦♦•♦♦»♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦»♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦< i: We guarantee our prices on Railroad $ o Watches to be as low as any store or : X catalogue house in the United States * ♦ HERE ARE A FEW OF THEM f ■» ELGIN'S. <» Veritas 23-J.$35.00 ;: Veritas 21-J. 30.00 I’ B.
