President Vail's declaratiqn is her­ alded as the first recognition by those in high corporate authority of the jus­ tice of the demand that the public be regarded as virtual partners in all matters fr>ot pertain tc the common welfare. He goes directly to th» point. "Public control or regulation of public service corporations by perma­ nent commissions," he says, "has come and come to stay.

However it results, all costs of aggressive, un- I controlled competition are eventually j borne, directly or indirectly, by the j public.

"When through a wise and judi­ cious state' control and regulation all the advantages without any of the disadvantages of state ownership are secured, state ownership is doomed." "If Mr. Vail ls right," says Harper's Weekly, in a concise summing-up, "then it seems pretty plain that we me entered upon a new era in both economics and politics. And it ls high time we did if evolution is to sup­ plant revolution as an efficient force in the development of civilization." If the day of the harem ekirt has arrived it will come in regardless of Jeers and friendly or unfriendly legis­ lation. If it has not come then all the advanced women In the world cannot force It. A Massachusetts chief of police wants the ducking-stool revived for feminine scolds. He will want it still more when the tongues he would thus restrain have finished their assaults upon him. A Chicago matron avers that a breach of promise suit against her husband merely amuses her. How­ ever, that form of amusement Is not likely to become generally popular among the matrons. A New Jersey woman in an allena- tion-of-affections suit recently recov­ ered $2,000 for tfie loss of her hus­ band's love. And many of her sisters will probably consider her a lucky woman, more to be envied than pitied. Unreliable Physiognomy. 1 am a profound disbeliever in phys­ iognomy. Features are false wit­ nesses.

Scranton, Pa.--Caught like rats in a ( trap, without a moment 's vrarning, CO j y men afaa boys perished Friday In a : coal mine fire in the Pancoast colliery at Throop, three miles from this city. Owing to the presence of volumes of smoke and deadly gases, the Ves- cuers were unable to recover the bodies until several hours after the fire broke out. The cause of the disaster was a fire which broke out in the engine house at the foot of the shaft. An alarm was sent to the miners and all the men except those working In the Dunmore vein were able to make their way out. Heavy, thick smoke arising from the burning engine bouse was stfept back Into the workings toward the tunnel where 60 men were at work. They were caught behind this heavy wall of smoke with no means of escape left them. As the smoke drifted further back Into the lower vein the men are be­ lieved to 'have been driven back to the end of the workings. Several times rescue parties made efforts to penetrate the wall of smoke close to the engine house after the flames had been extinguished, but the task was too dangerous and difficult. The men who tried to make progress through the smoke came back choking and with their eyes running water. The carpenter force was hurriedly called out and they with a small army of volunteers started to work sending all the available air Into the lower veins. When the news of the disaster had spread to the city and surroundihg boroughs the crowd at the mouth of the shaft multiplied many times and the Throop police found it necessary to swear In special deputies to aid them in keeping order. When a move was made to clear a passage from the shaft to the mine office there was considerable difficulty, on account of the determination of the crowd to stay close to the shaft. Rescue parties from the govern­ ment relief station at Wilkesbarre and from the Lackawanna and Lehigh .Valley Coal companies were dis­ patched to the Pancoast mine and only for the use of perfected safety devices by these parties, the fate of thf> entombed scs woulu iioi yet be known. Viterbo. -- The trial of the 86 Camorrists accused of the murder of Gennaro Cuoccolo and his wife came to a dramatic climax when Clro Vitozzi, the accused priest, fainted during the bitter examination which he was forced to face. The hearing was suspended when | vitozzi. weakened by p «"?!?-!ir>po!>ed fast of 48 hours, which affected him mentally as well as physically, fell to the floor in a faint. He had just de­ nounced the judiciary for his alleged persecution in prison and, as If to ex­ cite sympathy, cried out that he had not tasted food for two days. This statement had a contrary effect on President Bianchi, who suspended the sitting immediately and sternly or­ dered that Vitozzi break his fast with the yolks of six eggs. Vitozzi, shortly befor^ his collapse, said that a lock of his mothers hair which he had kept with him In his cell had been taken away by the mag­ istrates, who said It belonged to a woman companion of the priest's. He invoked the soul of his mother to sup­ port his statement. During the fit of weeping with which he was directly seized he col­ lapsed and was carried from the court­ room by his physician and the car­ bineers. Another Incident that may have a strong influence on the ultimate de­ cision of the jury was the petition of a large number of Neapolitan citizens that they be allowed to be heard aB witnesses at the trial. Their petition presented to President Bianchi de­ clared that they had paid blackmail to the Camorra for several years. "If the prisoners are acquitted," the petition stated, "scores of Neapolitans will have to quit the country to save their lives and property." COOPER IS GIVEN THE VOTE Insurgent Republicans Support Wis­ consin Man.--Receives 8ixteen Votes for Speaker. Washington.--The vote for speaker of the bouse indicates that the Insur­ gent Republicans will malntkin a sep­ arate working organization during the special session of congress. Although not nominated for speak­ er Mr. Cooper of Wisconsin received 16 votes for that office and Mr. Norrls •of Nebraska was given one vote, which was cast by Mr. Cooper. Messrs. Norrls and Madison of Kansas voted with the regular Republicans for Mr. Mann. Those who voted for Mr. Cooper were: Akin, New York; Anderson, Davis, Lindbergh, Minnesota; David­ son, Kopp, Nelson, Morse and Len- root, Wisconsin; La Follette, Warbur- ton. Warrington and Kent, California; Murdock and Jackson, Kansas; Laf- ferty, Oregon. French, Idaho.

Young, a vet­ eran of the Civil war and probably the most widely known American resi­ dent in Paris, died Thursday at his home in the Rue Canero. Bdwardsvllle, 111.--Michael - Smith Link, former member of the Illinois legislature, who was one of the repre­ sentatives involved by Charles A. White in his confession in the Lorlmer election scandal, was found dead In a bathtub Monday morning at his coun­ try home, between Mitchell and Ed- wardsville. The discovery was made by his wife. It was at first supposed that he had committed suicide, but an examination } of tho body showed that he had been stricken with heart disease. Link had been affected with heart trouble since the stcain of his indict­ ment by the Cook county grand jury May fi. 1910. He worried over the disgrace that attended his connection with the "bathroom" jackpot incident at the Southern hotel in St. Louis July 10, 1909. Mr. and Mrs. Link celebrated their twentieth wedding anniversary April 2, and at that time the former lawma­ ker predicted he would die suddenly. Mr. Link was born near Gillespie, 111., April 13, 1858. Link is the second former member of the Illinois legislature Involved in the Lorlmer scandal to be overtaken by death. The first was Charles S. Luke of Nashville,'whose name was brought into the affair after his death. Link always took the situation seri- ously. Link had been the comic figure in the tragedy which was staged with the trial of Representative Lee O'Neil Browne. Link had been seen in St. Louis at the time former Representa­ tive Charles A. White, the confessed bribe taker, declares certain men Were called there by Representative Robert E. Wilson to get their share of the Forty-sixth general assembly "jackpot." The charge was that Link had received $1,000 for his vote for Lorimer. He was sum^ionefl to Chi­ cago and put under a grilling cross- examination by State's Attorney Way- man. He denied that he had received any money and told the same story before the grand jury. To frighten him an indictment for perjury was voted against him. Link cried loudly that he wished to get home to his wife and went before the grand jury and confessed that he had received the money. When the case of Browne came to trial, however, Link declared on the witness ^tand that he had never been asked to vote for Lorimer, that no promise of money had been made to him if he would so vote and that it was paid to him after the fight was over without any expla­ nation from Browne. TOM L JOHNSON SUCCUMBS Four-Time Mayor of Cleveland Dies at His Home From Cirrhosis of Liver. Cleveland, O.--Tom L. Johnson, four times mayor of Cleveland and former congressman from this district, died Monday night in his fifty-seventh year. He had been near death for five days. Up to a week ago the former mayor had insisted that he would get well and again be a candidate for may­ or of Cleveland, but finally he saw his hope was futile and, after bidding old friends and former political associates farewell, he resigned himself to dgath. That Mr. Johnson bacrlficed his life, for his principles is certain. He had been ailing from cirrhosis of the liver for years auu was ioiii by ilie physi­ cians that he must quit active work for awhile and take treatment, but he was in the midst of his fight for three- cent fare and refused to stop. Finally, beaten in his fifth fight for mayor, he yielded to illness and went to New York for treatment, but it was too late. STEAMER SINKS; 20 DROWN Coasting Ship Iroquois Founders Of!

TRAIN LOAD AFTER * TRAIN LOAD OF SETTLERS ARE GOING TO CENTRAL CANADA. The question of reciprocal trade re­ lations between the United States and Canada has provoked considerable discussion and Interest Whatever else the discussion may have done, it has brought out the fact that on the Canadian side of the line the agri­ cultural situation is erne that forces attention, and it has also brought forth the fact which It is well to face, that on the American side of the border, there ls a vastly Increasing popula­ tion to be fed with a somewhat de­ creasing proportion of food products. This article is intended to point out to those who may wish to become of those who can raise wheat, oats, bar­ ley, flax, cattle and hogs at the least cost that the opportunities in Central Canada are what they are seeking. During the past year the official fig­ ures show that upwards of 130,000 Americans located in Canada, and the greatest majority of these have settled on farms, and when the time comes, which it will within a few years, they will be ready to help serve their pe? ent country with the food stuffs th Its Increasing population will require The immigration for the spring hr» now set in in great earnest, and train load after train load of a splendfe class of settlers leave weekly from Kansas City, Omaha, Chicago, De­ troit, St. Paul and other points. Most of these are destined through to points in Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Al­ berta. The reports that come from the different farming districts there are that the spring ls opening up well, and the prospects for a splendid crop this year are very good. In some dis­ tricts good homesteads are yet avail­ able. The price of all farm lands has naturally had an increase, but It is still away below its earning capacity. The immigration branch of the Domin­ ion Government has just published Its 1911 illustrated pamphlet, which may be secured on application to the De­ partment of the Interior, Ottawa, Canada, or any of the agents of the Dominion Government, whose adver­ tisement may appear elsewhere in thiq paper.
