The jubilee address Of Rev. w. H
Van Antwerp, who oflciated as the rec
tor of Trinity cathedral in the early
SOS, strikes a timely note in calling
special attention to the firm faith of
the founders of Omaha.
The men who broke ground where
the city stands today, erected the first
buildings and underwent the rigors Of
pioneer life in frontier town. were
guided strangely by a conviction that
they we're laying the foundations of
future greatness, which they we're sure
would come, although they knew not
how nor when. No one can fail to
marvel in looking backward that such
big results should have sprung from
such small beginnings.
The founders Of Omaha. however,
had more than faith. They had enter
prise, pluck and vigor with which they
showed their faith by works. II with
the meager resources at their command
they we're able to accomplish all that
thy did, surely the builders of Omaha
of today, with the vastly increased
power at their command. and with
equal faith and equal enterprise, pluck
and energy, must make the Omaha OF
fifty years from now contrast as
favorably in point of progress and i'm
provement with the Omaha of today
as does the Omaha of today with the
Struggling village it WAS fifty years
ago.
With our faith shown in our works,
Omaha of the next generation will look
back to us as we are looking back to
the pioneers in admiring wonder at the
marvels that have been wrought.

Features OF the Employcrs' Liability
PHI About 90 Become law.



Minneapolis Journal.
The senate passed the employers liability
bill yesterday The bill came from the
house TO the senate and relates to liability
of railroads for injuries suffered by em-
ployes. what the employees desired to gain
by this legislation was liability ~ ;hs sn-
ployer for injury to the ernpioye when the
accident was due 70 the negligence or In
capacity Of a fellow employe.
This legislation recognises difference
between the biiity of such an employer
as railroad company and manufacture
whose worl. is carried on ct one place ana
where the consequences OF carelessness or
neglect may be more readily avoided by
the fellow employe than in the case Of :he
railroad. where the cause OF the accident
may be many miles removed and where Il
may be utterly impossible for the injured
employe TO guard himself against danger
For example, a careless dispatcher makes
mistake by reason OF which two railroad
trains collide The train employees are in
jured. but the employer is not under this
act, TO escape liability because Of the blame
| attaching to the dispatcher. The trainmen
could not protect themselves sgains. the
danger. They have nothing TO say about
the employment OF dispatchers or about
their efficiency. while the employer alone
is responsible. At the same time. railroad
companies have been escaping liability for
damages on the principle Of the liability OF
the co-employes; and while passengers and
owners Of freight have been able TO collect
damages. injured employees or their sur-
viving dependents have had great difficulty
In doing So This is a manifest injustice
which the legislation Is calculated 20 re-
move. The bill will go from the senate
to conference. but will undoubtedly pass at
! this session.
! Its success in the senate is attributed 10
Senator LaFolette, and is quite an Inn
portant result to be accomplished by a new
man at his first session.
