the ANNEXATION OF CANADA.

Sooner or later the United States will
be Obliged to candidly consider the an
nexation of Canada to its domain ana
the admission of that province as states
and territories of this country The
troubles over the boundaries, the fric-
ton. delay and disappointment In trade
consequent upon boundary line thou
sands of miles long dividing peoples
whose interests are identical but whose
flags are divided by an ocean, and the
thousands of minor difficulties that be-
set frontier residents of each country
are fernenting toward an organized
movement looking to the amalgamatipn
of Canada into the dominant country OF
this continent. Should proposed
British army measure put an onerous
military duty upon Canada the end of
that country as British province will
be clearly in sight.
1t is probable that the mother coun-
s try would offer no great or strenuous
opposition Canada costs England more
than she comes to- The provincial gov
eminent and colonial improvements
absorb the revenues of the province
and call for concessions that prove bur-
densome to the home government and
home people. Canada has long been a
British province more than a British
possession.
The question will be whether the
United States wants Canada? That
Canada needs the trade and protection
annexation with this country would as
sure is too evident for argument.
Whether or not this country would be
benefited by such annexation, it will be
forced to accept Canada when she gets
ready to come. Left to herself, she
could not exist as an independent gov
eminent. Geographically and in Lam
guage she is already practically part
of this country. Annexation would
wipe out all boundary and fisheries dis
putes and put the North American con-
tinent where it belongs, in control of
the United States.

EMPLOYERS LIABILITY.

A personal injury case recently
heard upon third trial in the Marshall
county district court contains points of
interest to every one regarding the LA
bility Of an employer for injuries re-
ceived by men when in his employ. The
Marshall county case was an action
brought by one LAMA, an italian, who
had lost the sight of both eyes while
blasting in the quarries of the LeGrand
Quarry Company. A verdict of large
damages was twice rendered by q jury
in favor of the laborer, but upon appeal
the supreme court set aside the Ver-
dict on the ground that no evidence had
been presented to show negligence on
the part OF the employer company The
case was then tried for the third time
and when 1t appeared that practically
the same evidence had been presented
as in the former case Judge Burnham
directed the jury to return verdict for
the defendant company.
The law is quite clear on the point
that an employer who uses care to pro-
tect his employees and who has not
Evening times-Republican. [volume] (Marshalltown, Iowa) 1890-1923, 1902-04-12

been guilty of any negligence In this
respect at the time of the accident can
not be held liable. However, as in the
Marshall county case, when poor un-
fortunate laborer comes before jury
blinded in both eyes or otherwise
manned, and the employer is wellto-
do, or is a corporation with assets.
juries will render verdict for the poor
man, regardless of the law. This fact
is we'll known by attorneys and often
taken advantage of in bringing suits
for personal damages that have no JUS
tice in law.
If there were no appeal to court of
unimpassioned legal minds for cases of
this kind employers would virtually
have to assume the life and accident
insurance of all who enter their em-
ploy. In the above case it was shown
that the quarry company had for twen-
ty-five years enforced rule requiring
that no unexploded shot be left in a
blasting hole. and that during all this
time no such shot had ever been left
or caused an accident until the case in
question. The company had used due
precaution to protect its men from dan
ger and could not have known that
there was any extraordinary risk III
H.. IL.
evidence to render verdict out of
sympathy for the injured man. The
supreme court in reversing the decision
stated that the laborer had right ito
rely on the implied assurance that the
place was safe; but the defendant COM
pany was not the insurer of the place"
The fact that man was performing
service for another at the time of his
injury ought not in justice to hold the
employer liable for damages unless the
employer himself had by negligence to
use ordinary care made the work of his
employee dangerous, and the courts have
often held that injury to an employe is
not of itself evidence of such neglect
yet juries continue to favor the injured
man at the expense of the man or men
who employed him. Without such
ruling as given by the supreme court in
this case the business of employing
men and that of insuring their lives
and limbs would become inseparably
involved with one another.

A NEW MAIL COX DEAL.

According to press dispatches the
commission which has been sitting on
the rural mail box question has decided
to recommend change in the regula-
lions now governing their manufacture
and sale. If the recommendations of
the commission are acted upon the
manufacture of the rural boxes will be
an open proposition and the present
monopoly be done away with. Any one
who chooses may make and offer boxes
for sale and the recipient of the rural
delivery service be unrestricted as to
the products of certain manufacturers.
Certain specifications as to size, ma
terial and construction will be insisted
upon, but outside of these the patron
and manufacturer will be free to buy
and sell in an open competitive mar
ket.
1t will be remembered by readers of
the Times Republican that this is pre-
cisely the ground taken by this paper
in commenting on the rural box situa-
ton. The regulation requiring the pur-
chase of the boxes of specified manu-
facturers worked a hardship on the
purchaser to the benefit of agents and
manufacturers Purchase of boxes of
metal of sufficient size and with uni
form locks should be made mandatory,
but there is no possible reason why
their manufacture should be confined
to limited coterie of manufacturers
If the recommendations of the COM
mission are accepted. as they should
be, Iowa workmen will have the oppor-
tunity they have desired to compete
for the business on Iowa rural delivery
