Our Regulations Not SO
Liberal as Those of
Many Other Lands.

When a workman falls victim to the labor
he is faithfully performing for the enjoyment or
profit of the rest OF the community, then 1t IS
only Just, many think. that those who have
been beneftns by his toll should to his
assistance, or, In of his death. aid his fam
fly. When an employe in the discharge Of his
duties meets with accident he and those depend
ent on him should not bear the whole brunt Of
this misfortune. Such is the stand which Pres-
dent Roosevelt took in one Of his recent mes
sages TO Congress.
According to the President. this equalization
Of the burden would be brought about If the
employer. in every case where an accident was
unaccompanied by any negligence on the part OF
the employe, had to pay the empoye or his
family certain
When the loss is thus placed the employer.
Mr.. Roosevelt says he will transfer 1t to the
consumer, and in this way to the community at
large. He will charge just so much more for his
goods. He will figure out what this accident in
surance will amount TO and add il TO his other
expenses of production
At the present time in practically all the
states of the Union IT must be proved that the
employer was negligent before he be made
to pay for accident to an employe. This is
unfair. says the President, as there are many
accidents which occur from particular fault
of the employer. but which In way Incl
dental to the industry which he carries AS
rapidly moving machinery more and more takes
the place Of manual labor. the danger to those
who have to work amid these mechanical de-
vices more and more increases.
I'm spite of all precautions exercised by en-
ployers" Mr.. Roosevelt says. there are un-
avoidable accidents. and even deaths, involved
in nearly every line OF business connected with
the mechanical arts. This inevitable sacrifice
of life may be reduced TO minimum, but it

IN SIXTEEN COUNTRIES.

In Norway payment of accident indemnities
is guaranteed by the state by requiring en-
ployers TO insure against accidents TO their en-
ployes in a particular institution established by
the government.
In all about sixteen foreign countries have
enacted workngmen indemnity acts. The Ru-
manan act which is the narroWeSt. applies only
to mines and smelling works. The Swiss act
provides for the indemnity of wOrkmen in a
number OF industries. but does not establish any
fixed scale for different injuries. Spain and Fin
land have similar statutes Great Britain,
France. Denmark Sweden and Spain leave IL
optional with the employer to insure himself
against accident to the employe Other coun-
tries like Germany and Norway require insur-
ance. The largest payment for funeral expenses
which employer can be compelled 10 make

In England legislation of this character has
had the result OF causing employers and en-
plOyeS to draw up contracts between them. by
which the former agreed To pay the latter GER
tain sums in case of accidents or reimburse the
families of the latter in of death These
contracts are called schemes and cannot he

NOT A NEW SCHEME.

The history of the Cape Cod canal dates back
over two hundred years and even in the days of
Captain Miles Standish. in 1880. the Pilgrim
colonists hoped for the time when a water pas
sage through the narrow neck of the cape would
facilitate trade with the West. which was then
New York. In those early times the Pilgrim
traders conveyed the furs which they had OBJ
tanned from the Indians in boats along the
shores of Barnstable Bay to the mouth of the
Scussett River. and up this small stream as far
as possible by water From this point the
traders transported their merchandise overland
by a road which they had to cut through the
forest to the shores of Herring Pond. From
here they went in boats to the Dutch blockhouse
standing not far from the mouth of the Mano-
met River, which had its source in the great
pond, and which was easily navigab BILE for more
than mile from its mouth. for the shallops OF
the Dutch.
This ancient trading post was for many years
the meeting point of the Pilgrim merchants and
the Dutch traders of New York The latter
brought from New Amsterdam beads blankets
and trinkets, which were of value in trading
with the Indians. The old trading post long
since destroyed, stood not far from Gray Gables
The early traders of the Massachusetts Ray and
Plymouth colonies long foresaw the need of a
canal On October 80. 1871. the General Court
instructed a committee to view the cape for the
purposes of constructing canal. The next ap-

While the Boston newspapers are filed with
plans Of the proposal TO bisect Cape Cod with a
canal, little attention has been drawn TO the
quaint people who inhabit perhaps this most
picturesque part of New England. What do
they think about the enterprise? Do they want
a canal? DO they oppose IL or are they enthu-

NAVAL MEN APPROVE.

Though the canal will not be deep enough to
accommodate battleships and cruisers. naval Of
fcers say that vessels OF light draft. such as
torpedo boats, transports and the like, will be
able 20 pass through ii in stormy weather. One
OF the officers at the Charlestown Navy Yard
said this week:
''I believe. do other officers in the navy.
that the Cape Cod Canal viii be good thing
for the navy as well as for the merchant marine.
II il could be built 10 depth Of thirty-five feet
or more il would be available for the large ves-
sells but as ] understand il is 10 be less than
that Il will be available TO only light draft naval
vessels. Ia Of storm while on the way
around the cape these vessels. on account of
their small size, would naturally suffer more
damage than the battleships cruisers They
could go through the canal instead OF being COM
pelled 10 go around by the open sea, and IL
would not only be a saving in time but a saving
30 the government Of money IN the wear and
tear on the vessels. The great benefit of this
canal is however, TO the merchant marine, since
the danger 10 coastwise vessels is great off the
cane The saving IN time is not alone to be
colnted but the safety of the vessels. the sails.
the rigging and the hulls must be considered.
In the long run IL will save ship owners a LOT
Of money"

are closely following the canal developments. d

Commerce says emphatically that a practicable
safe route which would avoid the dangers OF
navigation would be godsend TO New England
