Oregon P o e t o « « aa Second Class Mail H itte r . • ' : u z 'Y o u o o w r ‘ V ' 4 This is Life Saving * More than 2000 coal miners in the United States are killed every year while at their work. That adds a tremendous cost in blood to the pnee of this common fuel. At pretty regular intervals the country is start led by the news of a mine explosion. Some of these are spectacular and attract the attention of thous ands, but the least of such accidents is a tragedy to the families and the fellow workers of those whose lives-are blasted out. The American Association for Labor Legisla tion, whose roster contains a score or more names of national and international influence, is calling attention to the declaration of the United States bureau of mines that many mine explosions can b e prevented by a simple precautionary measure. In a large number of cases explosions in mines are caused, or are rendered destructive and fatal, *by the presence of quantities of finely divided coal dust. When a local explosion occurs such as frequently is incidental to the work of mining, this coal dust is thrown into suspension in the air and ignited. The resulting explosion ig terrific in violence and heat and qften kills every man in the underground work ings. Government experts in a series of tests have proved that coal dust becomes non-explosive when mixed with rock dust. Rock is ground to powder and scattered by a portable blower, over the under ground surfaces of the mine. Since that annonnoe- ment was made, a number of the more important mines have been protected by rock dusting and have been free from disastrous explosions. Several states have passed laws requiring thiB precaution. A campaign has been undertaken to promote such legislation. It should come to the attention of legislators in every state in which coal mining exists. ’ No Guns By . M ail - The mails are now closed to pistol shipments by regulations of the postoffice department, issued in accordance with the new federal law. Certain specifically described persons may receive them. Others must get their one hand guns iu some other fashion than c. o. d. from the mailman. Uncle Sam is out of the distributing business for the man killer. It is not to be expected that this takes the pistol out of American life. Determination to have -a gun will get the gun w'e suspect, but the pro bability is that fewer of them will be lying about for use when drink, anger, nerves, or a mental un balancing makes a person suddenly willing to kill. uThe weakest moment and the pistol on the hip or in the drawer have combined in many murders. It was an abominaiton as a mail order business with the mail man delivering the goods and collecting the prioe. What is a Canadian? Under the above caption the Manitoba Free Press discoOrseR at length on the nationality, or rather nationalities, of the natives of the dominion and opnclndes that legally there is no such person as a Canadian. Although a man is born in Canada o f native Canadian parents, is reared and settles down there, he still is not a Canadian, but is reg istered according to the nationality or nationalities Of his ancestors—Scotch, Irish, English, French, German, Ruthenian, etc. The situation arises, it is pointed ont, because the census bureau insists on going several generations back to list the racial lineage of the inhabitants, to the exclusion of their acquired nationality. Within recent years, the Free Press points out, an attempt has been made to remedy this con dition by defining as a Canadian any one born of the third generation of native Canadians, but adds that “ this, of course, is not enough.” It is difficult for Americans to understand the attitude of the Canadian census bureau. Canada, like all of the other « ‘If governing portions of the British empire, is virtually an independent nation, being only nominally within the jurisdiction of the king of England.
