Walgering’s wife and two daughters are dead as the result the varying gas pressure, They went to sleep leaving the gas jet half urned on. At that hour the pressure in the pipes was such as the Gas ‘Trust regards most profitable to itself. ; Later during the night—at what hour no one except the official ‘Custodians of the pressure knows—the pressure in the pipes was changed “and the gas jet went out. The poisonous gas continued te escape and the two daughters and Mrs, Walgering were asphyxiated, is ‘i, “dreds. The toll of the Gas Trust is not only in money. but in lives, ‘Lives are an incident—what the Gas Trust wants is the money. It does not kill on purpose, and if it cost nothing in profits not to kill the Gas ‘rust would not take this additional toll in human lives, It is with the Gas Trust as with the Milk Trust and the sellers of adulterated medicines and foods. They do not deliberately commit “murder, That their victims die is not their intention, for they would © prefer that their customers should live and add to thelr revenues andi > profits, ‘ “A " The street railways have found it more profitable to try to carry passengers safely because accidents bring heavy damage verdicts, The ‘same rules should be applied to deaths from gas asphyxiation. The best i way to reach a trust is through its treasury, and if it costs more to vary the pressure than to furnish aduHerated gas the trust would find speedily _. Some remedy. The best news of the day is the end of the building trades trouble, under a standing arbitration agreement. .Long may it last! In time of peace prepare for more peace, A YOUNG VETERAN. Senator Depew was seventy-one years young yesterday, In a speech made on Saturday night, at the fourteenth annual banquet given in his honor by the Montauk Club, of Brooklyn, Mr, Depew indulged in reminiscences, political and personal, with his customary expert min- » gling of wit, hunior and philosophy, Though the Senator's perennial enthusiasm and unabated activities make it impossible to think of him as old, the anniversary naturally » suggested the “age limit’ that has recently been much discussed. Of this he said: Dr. Osler's chloroform should be not for age, but incompetence, 1 have known those whose fires were burned out at forty and those who did not fully mature-until sixty, and the succeeding twenty-five were their best years. Nothing equals the sustaining power of work or the life-giving inspiration of achievement, + Adleness, inanition and death are the sequels at any age. Work wisely and moderately done no doubt tends to protong Ife, Speaking from experience, Mr. Depew declared that “work, temperance and fun are the sources of longevity.” An admirable Prescription—need- ing, perhaps; 'fHis important addition: Choose your’ ancestors wisely! i * “Served ‘em jolly well right” is the people’s comment on the losses » of millions of dollars by Bull Gates and the clique that tried to corner May wheat.
