INSURANCE FOR WORKINGMEN.

O. INSURANCE for Workingmen,'' is the
subject of an important contribution
to the December number Of the North
American Review, by Frank A. Van
derlip. During the last generation
radical changes have been going on in
the direction of specialization and
concentration, so that the rank and
file of the industrial army tend more
and more toward becoming an auto
matte wheel in the great industrial
organization. No such thing as in
dustrial independence is now possible
for a workingman The moment, there
fore, that sickness overtakes the
workingman, or accident Injuries him,
or old age impairs his powers, his
condition is likely to become much
been the case under similar circum-
stances in earlier times. 1t is there
fore, in an analysis of economic condi-
tons, rather than in sentimental con-
sideration or charitable ebulitiOn,
that we must seek for secure foun-
dalton upon which to rest judgment
in regard to the question of working
mems insurance. Comparatively lit
tie attention has been given to the
subject in the United States, and Mr.
Vanderip urges the Importance for
economic reasons, of studying it with
a view to putting it into general prac-
tice. Mr. Vanderlip analyses and de-
scribes the German system, which mas
been developed to a very high degree
Mr.. Vanderlip says:
Accident insurance, as developed
in Germany, has been something more
than merely the providing of an in
demnity. 1t has been in fact an insur-
ance against accidents. This definite
placing of the responsibility for acct
dents has led to much study by en-
ployers and employees of regulations
providing for safeguards. Such study
has accomplished remarkable results
in the reduction of the number of ac-
cidents, and has become a great eco
nomic factor in removing the danger
from the industrial calling. Under the
influence of this study, the frequency
of accidents has been reduced one
half. Viewed from an economic stand
point alone, the saving which has re-
suited in the national economy has
been a vast sum. We are strikingly
careless of life in America. The sta
tistics of railway injuries and fatali-
ties are a disgrace. In the rush of
our industrial expansion we have
neglected to provide many of the OBJ
Vlously necessary safeguards From
whatever aspect we may regard the
subject, We will, on any broad view OF
1T. find that the adoption Of some of
the European regulations and safe
guards will be of great national adj
vantage.
The second division of the German
insurance system, and the one that
seems to have most fully demonstrated
its value, is the sick insurance fund
Apart from the more obviously aivant
ageous features of this sick insurance
system, there are others which are OF
the highest economic Importance and
Well worth emphasizing. The system
IS having profound effect on the
whole physical welfare of the Ger
man nation. The general level of VI
tally. and hence of working capacity.
is being distinctly raised as a result
of it,

DEMOCRAT IN PHILIPPINES.

"a Democrat in the Philippines" is
the title given by Senator Francis G.
Newlands to an article published in
Tho December number of the North
American Review in which he sums
m the impressions he received during
his recent visit to the Philippines as
a member of the so-called Taft party.
He describes the Filipino as an inter-
esting people, capable of much de-
velopment Their leaders carry them
selves with dignity and self-control,
and spoke eloquently regarding their
aspirations for independence. The
peasants are said to be patient, sub
missive, easily Influenced and easily
led. and it cannot be doubted that
they desire independence also
Indeed, Senator Newlands expresses
tne conviction that there cannot be
permanent friendliness between the
Filipinos and the Americans. The
people generally were in a doleful con-
dition, suffering from the effects Of
the recent wars and from disasters
caused by cholera, rinderpest, locusts
and typhoons. Senator Newlands
writes approvingly of the Philippine
commission, which, though not yet a
government of the people or by the
people, is pre- eminently a government
for the people. Senator Newlands adj
vocates the establishment by govern
ment of an Agricultural bank, which
could loan the money necessary to in
troduce improved methods, and he sug-
gests measures which should be enact
ed with a view to the development OF
the most prosperous conditions on the
islands,
Il have not the space to enter into
the consideration of the strategic
mistake of having possessidFs occu-
pied by unwilling subjects so fal
removed from our base-impossible of
defense should the time come in the
Orient wnen we may be beset by foes
outside the Islands, and by insurrectos
within, or of the great military ex-
pense entailed by holding them as an
asset instead of trust
"The fact is that prior to the war,
if Spain had offered them to us we
would nave refused. Dewey's victory
happened to be in Manila Bay instead
of in the open sea. Shall we, therefore,
permit ourselves to remain always un-
der the tyranny of an accident?
But far above these practical con-
siderations are the moral considera
tons for which Roosevelt, Bryan and
Taft stand as representatives Of true
democracy, which has not yet lost
faith in government of the people, for
the people and by the people. We can
not check the aspiration for indepeni-
ence in the Philippines when such ad-
vocates of political morality in both
parties voice it in the United States.
Separation will come some day hrdlu
Separation will some day come Let
us intelligently prepare for it."

A cause of grievance arose be-

and the city fathers of Wayzatta,

built a new station a mile or so
further on. Today-and these oc-
currences took place nearly ten
years ago-the people of that little
town have to go mile to and from

their temerity in attempting to

Another example in point is fur
nished by the citizens OF Peters
burg, a good sized town located
west of Grand Forks, in North Da-
kota. In that instance the whole
population of the place were pun
ished by Jas. j. Hill for an offense
done him by M. N. Johnson, once
a member of congress from that
district and local power in poll
tics. Johnson and Hill fell out. AS
result, the trains on Hills rail
road were directed to pass through
Petersburg without slowing down,
and they did so for the space of
more than a year. They did not
stop at that point again until John
son had been driven out of CON
gress and deprived of his political
power.

a great advantage over the man

in spite of the fact that he is
nearer the eastern market than the
Seattle man, is compelled to do
his buying in Seattle. Thus the
railroads which pass through Spo-
kane are constantly depressing the
industries of that place. and arti-
ticially stimulating and building up
those of the more distant Seattle.

CryStaIized Poison

they, In turn, will eliminate.
But sometimes the kidneys fail.
And sometimes, from some other
cause, the blood gets so full of poison
that they can not absorb 1t all. This
is the start OF Rheumatism. The poi
son accumulates and crystalizes. The
crystals look like little grains of SUI
