THOROUGHLY AMERICAN
New Orleans Item:
"The head of the pulp and paper company whose dam broke last Sat
urday and swept away the village of Austin ( Pennsylvania! declares that he
is greatly shocked' by the horror of the catastrophe.
"We do not doubt it in "the least. All Americans are greatly 'shocked'
" as they always are at each horror whlich grows out of our national careless
ness.
"The weakness of that dam, so reports say, was known a year ago.
Nevertheless the president of the pulp and paper company is not only
'shocked,' but apparently 'surprised' that' it broke and killed a score or so
of people. He has every reason for sincerity in his grief.
"This is thoroughly American. We are a people of the highest senti
mental sympathy. We never fail to be properly shocked and horrified
when a mine caves in, or a tenement burns, sending hundreds of human
beings to tortu'red deaths. Our tender sentiments—like those of the pulp
and paper man whose tears we have recorded—are most convincing in mo
ments of catastrophe, and our emotions are put to this strain very often.
"We never fail to record our grief to our credit: but we do so little to
prevent another catastrophe, and we are so indifferent to the abuses which
we see all around us growing to the point of danger."
New York World:
"Temperaments of less ardor and more calculation than theirs do not
shock so effectively, because they get less exercise. Instead of celebrating
calamity, less gifted peoples merely prevent it. Such a people, for example,
would have heeded the first warning given by the Austin dam last year.
They would not have permitted a moving picture of the deluge to be staged
in a remote Pennsylvania valley. #
"It is left for Americans to know that in many theaters exit doors open
be greatly shocked
know' that ex
inward or are locked during performances, and then ti
when 587 persons are burned to death in an Iroquois fire; t
cursion steamers are often overloaded, inadequately manned, insufficiently
provided with fire-fighting appliances, and then to be greatly shocked when
a thousand persons lose their lives in a General Slocum disaster: to know
that many factory lofts are unprovided with fire-escapes and facory hands
unacquainted with the fire-drill, and then to be greatly shocked when 160
girls are burned or crushed to death ln an Asch building horror.
"By forestalling disaster the phlegmatic German and the dull-w itted
Englishman may make life safer in their jurisdictions; but that is dry, rou-'
tine business that does not appeal to American emotions."
The president and directors of the aforesaid pulp and paper company
ought to have another "shock" coming to them. The courts of Pennsyl
vania should take the stock and land, houses and chattels of the company
and divide it all between women and children made widows and orphans
by the wicked greed and criminal carelessness of the officers of this com-1
pany
When capital or corporations take such long risks on the lives of
others they should do so with the fall knowledge that they hazard their
,«11 on the chance; that if a catastrophe follows the cheapness of their
work or slowness of repair and others lose their lives, they must lose their
fortune, to the last fathing. That might hinder progress a little, but it
would place a higher value on human life.
THE MOVING PICTURE SHOW.

, ,
"Men who have given years of study to the question of insanity have
reached the conclusion that moving pictures are a great aid in restoring and
curing disordered minds.
"In a western state last year a philanthropist, finding the effect of music
of St. Elizabeth Insane Asylum In Washington,
had been the cause of restoring his wife's mind, donated one hundred pi
anos to the various asylums of his own and adjacent states.
"It has been likewise found that the most disturbed patients cease to
be restive when viewing moving pictures. Suitable subjects of lighter char
acter are selected for their entertainment. They not only enjoy such exhibi
tions. but their minds become quiet.

should be made and enforced, and the business of this country regulated
and conducted for the greatest good to the greatest number. If this strike
should widen and become so far-reaching that in its final result It should
break the back-bone of all the trnits—Labor and Capital—and put the
business of the country back on a competitive hauls with the law of supply
and demand to govern, the strike would be a god-send to the country.
