of mines at Washington and a
widely known geologist, died here
early today of tuberculosis. He had
been ill several months and came to
Denver four months ago in the hope
of regaining strength.
Dr. Holems was 55 years old. Ho
was a native of South Carolina. He
had been director of the bureau of
mines since its creation by Congress
In 1910. Previously he had heen
chief of the technological branch of
? the United States geological survey
in charge of investigation of mine
accidents. His service to the federal
government began in 1904, when he
was placed in charge of United i
^ States geological survey laboratories
for testing fuels and structural materials
at St. Louis. He was a graduate
of Cornell University and for a
time was a professor of geology and
natural history at the University of
North Carolina. He was state geologist
for that state from 1891 to 1904.

Started "Safety First" Movement.
Washington, July 13.?Dr. Joseph
A. Holmes was regarded by his associates
in the government service as
the father of the bureau of mines,
which, by a campaign of education
and experiment, has largely reduced
the death toll among underground
workers. He also was accredited
with making "safety first" a national
movement. He took it for the slogan
of the mine bureau's work and It
spread to all branches of industrial t
activity. |
"The saddest part of It all," said '
Van H. Manning, acting director of
the mines bureau today, "Is that Dr.
Holmes was a victim of overwork
and his devotion to his duties in be
naif of the safety of the million miners
in the United States. His continual
insistence on going only where
his trained rescue crews should go,
sharing the dangers that should
have gone only to more robust men,
seriously affected his health. Dr.
Holmes was a martyr to the cause of
safety among the miners and his
name is added to the honor roll of
bureau rescuers, who gave up their
lives to the cause."
Conservatism.
Selected.
Observe the conventions, the customs
of your community, and respect
the opinions of others; conform, but
don't conform too much.
A decent regard for the prejudi
cies, ine lines ana dislikes of others,
will save you a deal of useless friction.
There is no sense in going to
the opera house in your shirt sleeves.
In wearing your hair longer than
other people wear theirs, in dressing
like a freak, nor in seking to shock
everybody by your boorish frankness.
It is no honor to have cut upon
your tombstone, "Here lies a man
who refused to wear a collar." A
certain amount of conformity is as
lubricating oil, and saves a lot of
wear and tear on your machinery.
But don't go too far this way.
There is no need to give up your honest
convictions just to be agreeable.
You can quietly decline to drink wine
at a dinner without delivering a prohibition
speech to the guests, but yuo
don't have to drink to be a good
fellow.
Respect others, but not at the ex
yeu?e ui your own sen-respect. Do
not be browbeaten by another's egotism,
nor Intimidated by ridicule.

SULGRAVE MANOR
TO BE RESTORED
Washington Ancestral Home in Rug*
land Will Become Museum to
Commemorate Peace.
New York Sun.
Sulgrave manor, the old home of
the ancestors of George Washington
in Northamptonshire, England, now
dilapidated, will soon be remodeled
and will become a museum to commemorate
the 100 years of peace between
Great Britain and the United
States. Plans for the restoration of i
the house and grounds, which wero ;
purchased last year by the British .
peace centenary committee, have
been worked out.
British and American citizens al- i
ready have taken a keen interest in ;
the rehabilitation of the quaint build- ;
ing. H. S. Perris, secretary of the
committee of management, of which |
Dr. Walter Hiites Page, the American
ambassador, is chairman, is now in i
this country. He has laid the plans ,
before the American peace centenary
committee, of which John A. Stewart
is the executive head, and the cooperation
of both committees is assured.
Mr. Perris has described in detail
the plena for making the manor as
interesting a reminder of Washington
in England as Mount Vernon Is in
America. We want to make Sulgravo
manor a depository of documentary,
pictorial and other records of AugloAmerican
relations since the time oi
the Treaty of Ohent (1814). he said,
"and we want to see it enriched by !
bequests and grants with this end in i
view.
"The manor is a fine old house of
white stone, with walled gardens and
grass paddocks around. It is now
greatly run down and with the excep- ,
tion of the oak fioors, the walls, the ,
doors, the Jacobean staircases and 1
the oak framing, practically everything
must be reconstructed. The
roofs must be stripped, all timbers
repaired and the old stone slate re- I
hung.
"Some of tne stained glass from |
the windows and some of the old
Washington arms and heraldry,
which were taken from the house and
distributed through the village, will
be reclaimed an^ restored to the
manor house. Fragments of stone
monuments or Jacobean design which
are said to have been taken from the
house are in the yard of a village 1
neighbor. I
"The plan of restoration calls for
two or more rooms to be used for a
museum, the cstabi.phtng of caretaker's
quarters, offices for the secretary
and a large room for the purpose of
meetings or luncheons. The old
stable will be turned into a garage.
The stone court will be repaved and
a walled garden will be formed on
the east side of the manor house. In
it there will be the old Washington
sun dial.
"A new rectangular forecourt will
be formed on the north side of the
house, with a low stone wall all
around It to include the two big trees
that stand there. Then a double row
of elms wili he planted all around
the borders of the property, which
comprises about seven acres.

the old house belonged to the priory
of St. Andrew, but when Henry VIII
dissolved the monasteries, the property,
in about 1538, was granted to
Laurence Washington, the then
mayor of Northampton aud the ani
cestor of General Washington. The
i east side of the house is the oldest
part. Laurence Washington seems
i to have taken up his residence at Sulgrave,
although members of his famI
ily remained at Walton for several
generations. They prospered for a
' time and then appear to have gotten
into financial difficulties.
"In 1610 Robert, son of Laurence
Washington, sold the house to his
nephew, Laurence Makepeace. The
Washingtons were all royalists and
in the civil war of 1640 they came
upon hard times. One of them left
England and emigrated to Virginia.
The foundation that will hold Sulgrave
manor is to be called "the 9ul- j
grave Institution." The plan Is to l
hold annual meetings alternately at
Sulgrave manor in England and at >
some historic spot in this country. ]

The "pro and con" side of almost o
every question is being heard from tl
in every direction nowadays. There n
is only about one big organization n

that doesn't happen to revel in a g
propaganda, working both sides of p
the question; and as it is irrelevent
to the topic in the connection it is b
hardly worth while to mention it. s
The anti-prohibitionists are lock- t
ing horns with the prohibitionists^ in ii
national gatherings this year and t
both are sending out broadcast tons 1:
of literature endeavoring to sustain e
their cause. It is, really, remarkable F
just how many phases of a question t
can be presented when men get to
looking at things with one eye. ii
Probably the most determined? q
and certainly those using the most t
persuasive language?is found in the r
literature sent out by the Women's ti
Anti-Suffrage Association of Massa- o
chusetts in their publication, called t
The Remonstrance. It makes The r
Commonwealth, which is the journal i
of the Georgia Anti-Saloon League, 1
tade into insignificance when it comes tl
to picturing the things that are and c
the things that may be, with all due o
respect to both publications. We sim- v
ply mention them together, because c
