A Pittsburg business man is said to have taken out a.' 91,000,000 life in aurance policy. Those Pittsburg peo ple rate themselves higher than any one else rates them..

' ' ' While the responsibility tor the disaster ; at tti Priraero irilne ' may never b fixed,, the raet that it is th second of Hi kind to ovcur at this mine should be taken Into considera tion In dealing with th affair. This means that all precautions for safety were not observed. Who is to be held responsible for this failure may be determined later, if ' the disaster b made the subject of rigid investiga tion. .' ' . " : It Is but one of a number of contin ually recurring catastrophes .that have marked the progress of coal mining on a large scale in America. These have not been confined to airy one sec Hon of the country, but have happened wherever coal is mined. It seems im possible to surround the workers in the pits with absolute security. But it does seem' possible to - lessen th dreadful toll of life the' Industry no exacts. In other parts of the world where the industry is carried on the death lofts' Is 'much less than in thd United States, which makes it cer tain that something is out of adjust ment In the methods used here. In the, Prlmero case, the fault seems to have, rested on someone who entered the workings With an open lamp. This throws the responsibility on the human element, which can never be disregarded, and which will always be fallible. ' ' . But human ingenuity does, not seem to' have" exhausted all jts capacity id efforts to avoid the danger of Under ground work. Better ventilation,: bet ter lighting, and more rigid inspec tion are among the possibilities, and the state should lnsiBCon these. Coal mining is pushed each . year more and more vigorously, as tbo- demands . of . . commerce and industry for fuel Increase, and with, this extension of the. work should eonie 'equally earnest efforts to ob viate as far as poBSlblethe dangers that -must accompan? 'the securing of the coal for, use. Many suggestions were made by experienced men at Jtbe time of the great Cherry disaster, a few weeks ago.-'These will ' probably, be renewed' now; -but until isome of them are crystallized into action the death list due to coal mine explosions will grow and spread Its black blot still further on our civilization. ' ;v "Trovided, ; Alwyi.' 1 While denials are plentiful, that there is a frame-up in progress - for projecting Mr. Bryan' as a candidate for president again in 1911,. the Bryan worshippers every now and "then di vulge their still cherished expectation for a fourth nomination for the three times defeated. No one .has been a more ardent Bryanlte nor attempted more Industriously . to c refiect Mr. Bryan's views"; and anticipate his Wishes than-4(Matlmai friend, Edgar Howhrd. ;In the las?Wstte1rHfcis pa pe; Edgar dilates ort the prophecy ao credited to Congressman Latta that in 1918. the democratic, nominees for president and vice president will be Governor Harmon of Ohio and Gov ernor Bhailehberger .of Nebraska. Edgar is for this program, with a pro vlso. and the proviso is, "provided," al ways," as follows: , Provided, always, and by these presents the Telegram Intends, and does hereby dis tinctly want It understood, that no Har mon of Ohio no man. froro .anV oountrv- shalt b considered In connection with the democratic nomination for; president 1n vent that th Wall Street; democracy shall attempt to deny to Mr.' Bryan the right to be a candidate. In that event we shall b ready to forget that there I any Harmon from Ohio. ' iln other words, Nebraska democrats so far as voiced by Edgar Howard are for any good man, -"provided, always. Mr. Bryan does not want it again, in which event he will have to be drafted by the common people Just to show those Wall street fellows that they cannot keep him down. Cold Storage, Time Limit Now that the matter of regulation for cold, storage warehouses is under discussion, almost the first point raised is how long food supplies may be held in refrigeration without be coming unfit for consumption. It is admitted that somewhere: a limit must be set upon the time that' will he per mttted to elapse between the placing of food In the ice box, and. its service to the "ultimate consumer." Under exUtlug conditions, this time is at the disposal of the food speculator and the restaurant or hotel keeper. Articles of fool may be kept for months in -the cold storage warehouses, and then .be taken out and kept for other months in the refrigerator of the hotel or restaurant. Under which control it passes from the healthy, to the in healthy state is a matter of detail. The law will have to deal with both, so that the one who eats the food will feel reasonable assurance that It Is wholesome. This suggests amendment of the pure food laws of the country along lines that will accomplish the object Cold storage for the preservation of food is one of the most useful of man' inventions, when it is property applied but unregulated and uncontrolled, It has eome to be a burden. Food spec ulators have been able through tt per version to create aa artificial toarcity of supplies, and thus advance prices to the prohibitive point This phase of the matter may be reached through the existing anti-trust laws, but th more serious menace of withboldln stored , up articles of food until decay has advanced to a point where the dan ger to th consumer Is real, cap. only be remedied by the enactment of ad dlttonal laws. Borne method of keeping accurate record of the passage of food through refrigerators must be devised. While the question of how long meat or other articles may be safely kept Is still open, the admitted fact that they do decay while frozen should govern the lawmakers and any doubt Should be resolved in favor of the public. I The law should be such as will pro vide for the careful inspection of all and immediate destruction of any sus pected food in cold storage. Wlth-such a law rigidly enforced, the incentive to hoard away meats, poultry, fruits, vegetables and .other perishable ar ticles, that profit might be reaped from enforcing a shortage in the mar kets, would be removed.. With this phase of the question settled, the cold storage plants would begin to serve their legitimate and useful ends of food conservators and price regula tors. A Good Start The first month shows a good start for Omaha for the year 1910. While business conditions generally throughout the country ' have been more or less disturbed and a spirit of restlossness manifested on almost all sides, Omaha has been steadily forg ing ahead and strengthening its posi tion as the market town of the middle west. ' With all the cry of high prices and excessive cost of living, the prevailing prosperity in Omaha and ltst tributary trade territory is self-evident and bus iness has been retarded, if at all, only by adverse weather conditions The prospects for building expan sion and real estate activity for the coming year were never better in Omaha, and the most , reassuring feature is the lement of confidence in the city's future based 'upon knowl edge of its substantial resources and faith In their early development. ' ,The year 1910 should be the big gest banner year for Omaha In all its history, even as compared with the banner years that are behind us. , North Dakota baa . a . new . United. States senator, in the person of W.

Governor Burke must be having a hard time in finding democrats of sufficient caliber to serve as senator and yet not likely to be come dangerous competitors should he latej go after the place himself. Without waiting for any contro verting evidence, our amiable demo cratlc contemporary, whose congress man-editor preferred the charges, pre sents a resume of what Mr. Glavls has shown. That is characteristic of a court which renders a verdict of guilty without allowing the defense to' put in any testimony. V , The University, of .

Saperlorlty Acknowledge by a Ger man. Inrestlgvator. Washington Post. A tribute to the American workman In a typical industry, that of making steel.

II . makes the state ment, after careful comparative observa tion, during perlodlo visits to the United States,' that Tn character and skill the American workman Is markedly superior. This Judgment may be received with some surprise, slnoe the assumption has undoubt edly received wide acceptance that Oerman skilled wage-earners are at least the equals of those of other nationalities. Th as sumption li based Upon, the known peculiar advantages In Germany for Industrial train ing, espeolally In lines of production that j are highly specialized .and. Internationally competitive. The making of steel may be accepted a a barometer . for comparison since It employs the. highest types of skilled labor. This observer makes the crit icism .that .German workmen are lacking In the individuality and Initiative of Amer icans. This would suggest that th ln dustrial training tn Germany Is not pro ducing the Individual and collective results that have been claimed. It' does not ap pear what are Its defects, while this man ager admits that what the German work men do they do "well. , That would Involve th admirable quality of thoroughness. But the Implication Is that, something more Is desired than mechanical, routine compe tency. The assertion I" made also7 that a German worker. in steel needs a month, to produce what an American 'would finish tn a fortnight that Is ' to say, .the important factor of .time is reduced one-half in the American Industry.'

The president, at a dinner In Washing ton, addrrcaed to an association of maga sine publishers a few words of kindly ad vice. He counseled the publishers to give fair play In their dealings with public af fairs and public men and warned them of the penalties of playing foul.

In the end you weaken all your criticisms and nobody pays any at tention to you. . One of the most discouraging features of American clvlo life one of the great diffi culties of operating popular government Is the difficulty of getting the average person to think clearly and soberly upon publlo questions. For creating the conditions In the public mind that Increase thla difficulty, It may be admitted at once that certain dally newspapers were primarily to blame. They began the process of mental debasement. But, grievous aa was their fault, the maga slnes we mean the so-called "popular" magazines have made it Indefinitely more grievous In Its evil consequences. The "popular" magazines have been guilty of a treason to their own traditions enormously greater than that of the "yel low" dally paper. The magazines, as a whole, had a tradition of mental rectitude so much higher than that of the dally paper from which to decline and fall. And they the "popular" ones have fallen from it fallen to the bottom and through It The dally newspaper of fifteen and twenty years ago was, as a rule, a spe olal leader for a party cause, -did not pre tend to be anything else, and was accepted by the public aa subject to that limitation. It ' was prepared with unavoidable haste, and so, wiih all possible care, was subject to the Inevitable errors of haste and was accepted by the public with reservations. But the magazine was supposed to be exempt from these limitations. Its writing could be done with more time and care and study. It had at least thirty days to find the truth and tell It clearly and fairly, as against the dally paper's twelve hours. It had a tradition of unhurried exactness and sobriety of Judgment that gave It authority. The difference of opinion In the pub llo mind Is illustrated by the fact that. while ' only a few specialists preserved files of dally papers, hundreds of thou sands of families preserved files of one or more magazine, just as they would pre serve books purchased upon due consider ation and with - view beyond the enter tainment of an hour. Where Is the American magazine of the "popular" variety today that is so pre served accumulated on' the bookshelves of the family of average culture .as are th hooks of history, biography, poetry and flatlon, that Us members deem worth buy lng? ..1 The- "popular" ' magazine have brought about their own -degradation by their Imi tation of the yellowest of 'yellow' daUIas In- treason to their own' traditions. They have done thla largely by a' familiar "yel low" trick by gathering exceptional facts In chosen situations and then, with an eye to ' sensationalism, presenting them as It they were the rule. kow any trum can oe made to seem a falsehood by the simple process of accu mulating enough exceptions to It. And this Is the method of the magazine muckrakw, especially in treating of public affairs. And it is a method that in the end de stroys confidence in the magazine as the dally newspaper cannot destroy confidence in itself, if faithful to its most primary oonditlon of existence. ' The newspaper may give today a one sided account of facts, because ' that is the only side as yet accessible. : But to morrow the other side becomes accessible, and the newspaper must give it or fail In Its necessary duty of giving the news. The error is corrected as we go along. But' the magazine's one-sided presenta tlon- cannot be corrected for a month, and by that time the subject may have ceased to have a general Interest. But tbe poison of the one-sided presentation is left in the reader's mind and colors and hardens its tissues. That is why discerning readers are be ginning to regard magazine expositions of controverted questions with 'suspicion They wish to keep their minds ' free for Judgment when they have heard the other side. And when will they hear the other Bide from th average "popular" maga zine? ! Just as moral lapse by a minister of th gospel Is more shocking and more destructive to public morality than a lay man's equal delinquency, so the decadence rrom mental rectitude of most of the mag azines Is more shocking and confusing to public mind than the errors of the dally prefis. mr, -tart aia well to direct attention in his diplomatic way, to this serious sit uation. COUBIMl S MAUAEIXES. Cbance far Astl-TrutUw to Do Business. Detroit Free Press. Amusing what a flutter in the dove cot Is created by tho announcement that there Is a magazine trust, twenty-sis: periodicals participating, with a New York clearing houso in charge. There is a call to have it looked after by the authorities without dcluy us a violation of the Sherman antl trust law. It recalls the story of the ex ciua gamekeeper who turned his pack loose on a hure when the hunters were'out for dfer and wild boar. There Is nothing In a magazine trust to make the American people turn tail or even' turn pale. There is no chance to set their, indignation afire because about twy dozen niaguzlnes far from being considered among the neces rarla pt life may have combined for the usual purposes of getting all that the t raf fia will stand. Newspapers,- though freishted With current history and the movt pertinent commentaries, have never pooled their Interests. The writers of books do business, on competitive principles. If so mlndi-d yau cun drop the little bunch of magazines from the list and still hav far more good reading- matter than you ban asulmllat. But, of course, the right thing to do Is to vindicate the law even against Its lightest violations. CoajBuctions. ' Washington Post.
