ADOLPH ROBERTS.
The death , of Adolph Roberts by
suicide was especially distressing . to
the Journar force. To realize that one
who has worked side by side with, you
has snuffed his life Out is an experience
that is not to be forgotten.' ,, '
111 -health. with which, Mr. Roberts
has wrestled all of his life, and in vain,
was doubtless the controlling motive
for the deed, which so saddened- and
horrified his friends. , . : X .i'H:,')
Mr. Roberts was connected with the
E. J. Land Printing Col up to about
seven months ago. , Despite his bodily
afflictions he was a ' cheerful and
willing worker always doing ... his full
duty.' ' ' :).'.. "
As we have stated, the Journal force
feels his death with expecial keenness
and tenders its earnest condolences
to his sorrow stricken relatives.
COULD BE MADE LESS HAZARD
OUS. According; jto prominent member
of . the .Order of Railway Trainmen
a member of that order is killed1 every
seven hours and fifteen 'minutes and
every nine minutes a man is- maimed.
With every sort of precaution the work
of a trainman will always be a hazard
ous one, but that the railroad managers
do not throw around the work the safe
guards that they might could hardly
be denied. Human lives are too often
sacrificed to the call for dividends.
Men are worked, unless the law steps
In to prevent; unreasonably long hours
and they are forced to take unreason
ably great risks, It is true that deaths
and maiming of railroad men- often
result ' from.., their j own ; carelessness,
but that1, more result from the uncon
cern of railroad owners is very likely
1 HAS SEEN A LIGHT.
It seems hardly possible, but the
; House was more conservative than the
Senate in cutting into tariff duties.
In conference the House conferees are
having tovinsist that the Senate con
ferees consent to an increase ..on the
duties, of certain articles as otherwise
it Is pointed . out too much revenue
will be sacrificed. The Senate has seen
a light' It is now fully as responsive
to public sentiment . as the - House.
And public sentiment has spoken for
a reduction of tariff "duties. '

Not long before Mayor Cj aynor
left for Europe; he said In commenting
on some of the criticisms that had been
aimed at hin, that no matter what this
or that person thought, he had been
the Mayor. His worst enemies admitted
that he was not controlled. And that
is a great thing to .be said of a public
official. - ' ,

Watson, of Indiana.; denieshe charges
of Col. Mulhall that he was one of the

ronstructions on ' the word "active."

NOT UP TO THE ADVANCE NO-
" TICES.
.Sir Oliver Lodge, president of the
British Association for the Advancement
of Science, made an addresi at a meeting
I of the Association Wednesday night
that was looked forward to with the
keenest Interest. It had been predicted
that the great scientist would make
statements of ; a startling character
concerning immortality and the proof
of life after death. .
The predictions can hardly be said
to have been fulfilled. About the
only thing in the address to afford
anv around for such a prediction was a
statement of Sir Oliver, who Is a man
of the highest scientific attainments,
as folloVs; "The evidence to my mind
goes to prove that discarnate intelli
gence, under certain conditions, may
interect with us on the material side.,
and that "we', may, hope ,. to attain
some understanding of the nature, of a
lareer. oerhaos. ethreal existance, and
of the conditions reeulatine intercourse
across the chasm.',' : ' . vr
This was a very guarded statement
and one ' distinctly - disappointing to
such as may- have expected to find a
human-being lifting the veil and looking
with see! ne eves into the beyond.' r But
there were probably only a few who
had any such expectation. Faith rather
than science is the ekv that most peo
ple would think of trying to. fit into the
portals, of the hereafter. - v.- i, t
