Mine Explosion and the Evils of Carelessness

By Editor

Twenty-five persons were killed and a number of others were injured by a dynamite explosion in an anthracite mine near Tower City, Pennsylvania, on August 2. The explosion seems to have been accidental. Fearful accidents of this and a similar character are becoming more and more common and appalling. How much of this is due to the criminal carelessness that is produced by the grasping hand of greed, and by the general lowering of the moral tone of society? Lawlessness and carelessness are twin evils that stalk hand in hand.
