CoBitaat Peril.
Every miner is a hero, for his life is
hourly beset by peril. The world is
now ringing with praise of the feat
performed by the crew of the Merri
nut in the Santiago channel, and had
.jirut. Hobson lost his life in that dar
ing act, a monument would have been
erected to his memory, and his grave
kept green by an admiring people.
Him, we are proud of, and rightly, too;
but he was Hred by the enthusiasm of
war, while there are hundreds of coal
miners In the Kanawha valley whose
daily avocation leads them into posi
tions equally as dangerous, and to
them we only offer contempt—the one
feat Is performed for the pride of a
nation, while the other is cont ributed
to its necessity; the one peril is only |
momentary, while the other is a con-;
tinuous monotonous drag.
Each d'«y the coal miner takes hit i
life in his hand, and each morning as J
the thinly-clad housewife places the
frugal meal in the battered tin pail
there Is a tear glistens on her eyelash,
for she does not know when it will be
the iasl time. And as she moves about
performing her humble household
duties, she is continually haunted by
a foreboding of evil. A rap at the door
startles her. for she is in constant ex
pectation of the messenger whose mis
sion is to inform her that she Is a
widow. A confusion of voices
frightens her, for she knows not at
what hour the crushed, lifeless re
mains of her once kind better half may
be conveyed a bleeding mass to her

The coal miner 1-a the mos-t charit
able person in the world, for there is a
sympathetic chord which binds him to
the unfortuuate, and when a comrade
has been injured in the mine, no mat
ter how scant his larder, or how
meager his pay, a penny is provided
for the support of that comrade’s fam
ily until he is able to resume work.
The sight of the blind always brings to
his mind the possibility of a premature
explosion, which may place him in the
same fix, and to the blind his purse is
always open. The poor beggar child
never leaves him empty-handed, for he '
don’t know at what hour his own chil-1
dren may be left dependent upon a
cruel world.
The coal miner’s work is harder than
any other ednss of labor, for he is only
paid for what lie does, and if a minute
is lost during the day It tells terribly
against him. lie is the poorest paid
< f any laborer, for if he ia idle for a
week, he must go through that period
on half rations for fear of exhausting

RELIABILITY
is a quality some newspapers have lost sight of in these
days of “yellow” journalism. They care little for truth
and a great deal for temporary sensation.
It is not so with THE CHICAGO RECORD.
The success of THE RECORD rests upon its reliability.
It prints the news—all the news—and tells the truth
about it.
It is the only American newspaper outside New York city
that has its own exclusive dispatch boat service and its
own staff correspondents and artists at the front in both
hemispheres.
It is the best illustrated daily newspaper in the world.
Its war news service is unapproachably the best
Says the Urbana (111.) Daily Courier:
“We read the war news in the other papers,
then we turn to THE CHICAGO RECORD to
see how much of it is true.”
