Every quarter of an hour a worker is killed The continuous toll of the shops, mills and railroads in maimed and dying exceeds each year the total blood cost of the civil war; it strikes into the life blood of every inhabitant in SO and of every worker in 10. If it happened at one place, at one time, humanity would be staggered. Because tolerated. Though we're slowly learning that life is more important than property, we're still largely letting dollars stand in the way of welfare, instead of making them minister to the ‘great est good of the greatest nimber. Late in October, in Harrisburg, Pa., a unique convention fs to be held. The delegates are to be from labor unions, stockholders, insurance companies, humane organizations, public officials; tand the subject for consideration is the broad one of how to Proceed to reduce accidents in industry, losses of life and ‘property by fire and occupational wastes of health and wel- fare. Preliminary to it the state commissioner of labor is visit- it is scattered, continuous and familiar, it is ing the various central bodies of organized labor, asking their! help in the important work of his department and explaining Chat if the frightful blood toll is to be made less, it can only be done by everybody lending a hand. If every state were to have conferences like these, at which facts, opinions and suggestions could be cleared, it would not be long before there would crystallize a public pinion which would enforce real progress toward safer and Juster working conditions. Not the millennium right away, but progress. It is one of the best ways we know to put the man above the dollar. LOS ANGELES RECORD sporting editor’s automobile stolen out- of a theatre.

Six-for-a-Quarter Car Tickets IONSIDER this phase of the eix-for-a-quarter question: For two years the people of this city, like the people in almost every city of Seattle’s size, have had the privilege of purchasing tickets on street cars. No court has determined that this privilege is an unreason- able one. Presumption, therefore, is that it is reasonable and should be enforced until the contrary is shown. * But how does it work out? Instead of petitioning the etate public service commission to cut out this privilege as an unreasonable one, the Puget Sound Traction company takes the matter in its own hands. _ ARBITRARILY, AUTOCRATICALLY, DICTATOR- TALLY, IT WIPES OUT A TWO-YEAR-OLD PRIV- TLEGE IN ONE DAY. Had it been the other way round, had the city attempted fo withdraw from the traction company a privilege it had Enjoyed for two years, what would have happened? The company’s high-priced lawyers would have rushed to the courts and obtained an injunction to prevent the city from arbitrarily curtailing an established privilege until the city could show by proper evidence that it was acting reason- ably. Not so, however, when the company acts arbitrarily. ~ Fortunately, the public service commission has set a com- paratively early fate to hear a petition presented by the peo- ple. Next Monday the three commissioners will begin the hear- fing on this question in Seattle. There is every reason to hope, a hope born of the justice of the people's demand, that the commissioners will give Seattle a square deal.

But there are few who do wear them that know the origin of the diamond or how it came to be where it is found. Pven the wisest geologist cannot make a reasonable guess on those ques tions. It’s nearly 200 years since the Orange river, in South African was discovered, but it was not until 1869 that the great rush to the diamond }country began. Then, as now, in stampedes to each reported Alaska gold strike, butchers, bakers, saflors, tailors, lawyers, blacksmiths, doctors, farmers, gamblers and loafers swarmed to the scene of the discovery. Since the Kimberly diamond field was discovered, the production of diamonds has tncreased, but the cost not decreased | because tha human vanity of adornment may always be trusted to grow by what it feeds on.
