Tho only satisfaction tho excited reader can hnvo must bo absorbed out of the notice at the bottom of the column, "To bo continued in our next." Coal Mine Inspection. The last official statement of Joseph A. Holmes, director of the Bureau of Mines operating undr tho Department of the Interior, shows that since tho bureau began lis work the death rata of miners per 1,000, 000 tons of coal mined has decreased annually, that the production per death has increased and that the dnath rate per 1,000 men employed has steadily decreased. These results are attributed to a combination of causes, "the principal one of which has foeea aiore efficient and effective lae inspection en the part ot the state tslniag departments and state mine Inspectors supplemented by greater care on the part of both tho operators aad misers." It I claimed by Director Holinos and this Is worth aotiag that the greatest Im provement made relates to dangera concerning which the bureau has been conducting special investiga tions, and exhibits are offered to sub stantiate this. To bo sure, moro minora wore killed in 1912 than in any year prior to 1307, but fewer- than In any year since aad including 1907. The num ber of deaths last year waa 2,360. But the production of coal was tho largest on record. The ratio of fatal- ties was 3.15 to 1,000 employed aiftR, which to the least since 1900. All this is eacouraglng, In spite of the faet that It ta ealy a small begin ning oh aa immense task.

In support of a large philanthropy, J400.00Q of the big Young Men's Christian association fund In New York Is given by persons whoso mod esty makes them unwilling for tho publication ot their names.

Yet many such givers conceal their benevolence also for the additional teeoon of self-pro taction. Net to dis credit tholr good motive or word as to ahrluklng from notoriety through a seaso of modesty. It la quite well known that many also give anony mously becauso their available funds are limited and might soon be ex hausted, if oxposed to alt seeking help for worthy philanthropies. Such st'lf-protectlon is often necessary and not entirely Belflsh. Two Ways. The corporation commission of Ok lahoma has "recommended" to the 'Frisco railway that it spend itf.000 a mile Improving its tracks In that state "to save the lives ot many hu. man beings." The company's, total mileage in Oklahoma Is 1,500, which would make the whole Job cost $4. 000,000. This action followed In vestigation into the causes of a recent wreck, blamed to bad ties and rails. The commlBion has four men now go ing over every foot of 'Frisco track age in the Btate. counting the eood and bad rails and ties, so as to re duce knowledge of the condition to a certainty. Of course tho trouble in volved In this is that If all the states traversed by the 'Frisco adopted similar measures. It might be found necessary to resort to more sky-high financing to raise funds for the im provement. There are two waya of running a railroad; one is to keep up the physi cal condition of the property and .rely on. efficient service for the revenues, the other to let the rolling stock and roadbed go while squeezing out tho dividends and unloading; securities.

In Other Lands rtner Atitn konUm. The most difficult of the many problems which perplex the British ministry is to keep the peace among tho diverse races of the world-wide empire. The rebellious tendencies of the Hindus In South Africa and the dangerous outbreaks among the native laborers In the Transvaal mines arc symptoms of the prevailing race an tagonisms. The African natives arc lit tle short of slaves to the mine operators, the cheapest of cheap labor, given a pit tance in money and food and confined In guarded compounds. The Hindus are classed a llttlo above the native as . a labor asset, but are more extensively employed as farm hands. The latter being citizens of the empire, insist on equal rights with other British subjects. But the whites, both Dutch and Anglo Saxon, resist the demand for equal rights, and the states as welt as the union of states enacted laws restricting their privileges an British subjects. These odious laws and regulations are the source of the outbreaks and strikes oc casionally mentioned In the dispatches. The South African case Is not an Iso lated one. More than a year ago British Columbia placed an embargo ou Hindu laborers and forced those already on land to "move on." In Australia sentl tnent against Aslatlo Immigration is as strong, probably stronger, than in Cali fornia. So far the. home government has done little than to smooth down the rag. gcd edges of race antagonisms, which are growing- more irritating every year. Home Ilule "by- Consent." Reports current for weeks past Indi cate that serious efforts are being made to adjust the differences of the Irish fac tions respecting home rule, and thus se cure the passage of that measure by both chambers of the British Parliament Lord Knolles, the shrewd diplomatic secretary of the late King Edward. Is said to have brought about an exchange of views be tween responsible 'party leaders. Premier Asquith Jiaa expressed a readiness to go sUll further In. allaying what he regards as the groundless fears of Ulster, chiefly In administrative details, provided the opposition agrees to the fundamental principle of home rule. What the out come will bo Is yet a matter of specu latlon. The problem of compromise by consent Is rendered difficult by reason of tho radical defies of the. Carsonltes and the equally determined attitude of the Irish nationalists. It la becoming ap parent, however, that the unionists are not disposed to redeem the pledge of suppprt given Ulster by Bonar Law, the party leaders, and are ready for a com promise that win facilitate the party's escape from an impossible situation. A compromise by consent Is the only way the home rule measure may be altered Under parliamentary rules the tIU must be passed by the House of Commons three times In Its original (form, lh order to overcome the veto of the House of Lords.
