that may be made; and that then plays
own pockets. If this can be discontin-
ued without depriving the worthy
claimant of his rights, there should be
no objection. This, it is claimed, would
be done by verdicts which should as
sign to the injured party an income
instead of sum of cash for liquidated
damages. The possibility of taking
thousands of dollars in a single fee
out Of a successful case would then
be removed.
1t is said that the corporations which
have to pay the awards would much
prefer such a system of annuities, and
that seems reasonable. A much more
important fact is that this would be
far better for the person who has suf--
fered injury. Where the hurt is serious,
damages are almost always based in
any event upon an estimate of what it
will cost the victim by the loss of abil-
ity for self-support. But the sum
given is rarely invested, and the re-
cipient is seldom capable of investing
wisely. AS a rule, what remains Of
the money, after the attorney has tax
en- his share, is quickly dissipated. A
fixed income, certain to be paid, would
be an UNNECESSARILY greater benefit as
far as the interests of the injured per-
sons are concerned.
These are the obvious merits of the
suggestion, as compared with the ex-
listing custom Doubtless there will
also be objection to it, but none ap-
pears on the surface. It's adoption will
certainly be urged in the different
states, and it will be very interesting
to see how it works out in practice. It
seems as if it ought to decrease litiga-
ton greatly. to cut down the fees of
the personal injury lawyers, to save
money for corporations, and at the
same time to give more, both in actual
cash and in the comforts that money
will procure, to those who have suffer-
ed from accident or any other form of
injury for which money damages can
be claimed.

child labor employed in the city. There
is some and this is to be regretted;
but compared with other cities OF its
size st. Paul is very we'll off indeed in
this respect. labor Commissioners

APARsiEAIn

1t is not probable that the spicy
comment of the Hon. Bill Devery. of
New York, on the now famous "Parsifap'
controversy will be the last word
spoken on subject that is agitating
two continents. Nor is it likely that
Mr.. Devery's appeal to chivalry to pro-
tect "de wilder will have any effect
on Heinrich Conried. Now that the
directors of the Metropolitan Grand
opera house in New York city have
withdrawn all objections to the pro-
duction of the sacred music-drama the
successor of Grau is free to carry out
his original plans.
But Mr.. Devery's view Of the "Parsi-
faP' controversy is interesting for Just
this reason: He like all the other dis.
putants has put the discussion on a
lofty plane. Mr.. Devery knows nothing
about Wagner OF about "Parsifar' and
he is ready enough to acknowledge his
ignorance. But he does know that there
is "a wilder" who is likely to get the
worst of 1t In an argument with the

and Frau Wagner are fighting for the

And so while "each one talks of the
aims Of art and each in an alien
tongue" it is probable that each one
is privately specializing on how much
the new venture will mean to Herr
Conried. If 'ParsifaP' represented the
