LIABILITIES BILL
 FREELY DISCUSSED
GEORGE c. OLIVER SAYS EM- PLoYES' NEED Is A SAFE PLACE IN WHICH TO WoRk-MAssA- cHUSETTS LAW.
1e Editnr nf The Aee.Hnrald

To the Editor of The Age-Herald.
 There has been considerable agitation in the present legislature regarding liability bills. These bills. apparently. have been introduced in behalf of the workmen, but the real secret Is that the bills have been introduced in behalf of the damage suit lawyers, who upon the occurrence of an accident to some unfortunate, send paid agent who gives many promises as to the amount they can secure, and get the in- jured party to sign a contract to give him one-half of what he can recover. The bills in question do not give to the work men the proper relief, and they are not clamoring for any such legislation.
 What the workmen want is a safe place in which to work; a place that has all the safeguards that are possible; where all shafting, beltng, setscrews, etc., are properly guarded and in this way pre- vent accidents instead of putting a pre- mium on carelessness. If some of our legislators really have the interest of the workmen at heart the writer shall be pleased to furnish to any of them a copy of the law of the commonwealth of Mas sachusetts regarding safety appliances and prevention of accidents in factories, as everyone knows Massachusetts has more industries, perhaps, than any other state in the union.
 The laws of Alabama today are regard ed as being just, both to the laborer and his employer; as a consequence, Alabama enjoys much lower rates of insurance than do many other states, and 1t is a e ts.f. panies have not made any money in Ala bama. (See Alabama insurance report, 1906)
 Tennessee and Kentucky have recently passed legislation unfavorable to the em- ployers and the insurance rates have in- creased over B 1-3 per cent. South Caro- lima has recently passed some drastic measures and some of the insurance com- panies have refused to write any business there. It is quite true that should some of the laws the damage suit lawyers de- sire be enacted, the employers of labor could find relief in insurance. Should the rates in Alabama advance the manufac- turer and the mining companies will sim ply increase their prices and thus shift the entire burden on the people. You therefore can see that this kind of legisla- tion would not prevent accidents, but would Slfnply encourage lnelll, dHu what the workmen need Is light, air, space and up-to-date machinery and appliances with which to work. and the ways and means to be safe. The manufacturers will have cheaper insurance and the danger of ac- edents will be reduced to a minimum. Along these lines the manufacturer will welcome legislation with rigid inspection to see that the laws are carried out. Let Alabama encourage industries and pro- tect her workmen. Very truly,
 GEORGE c. OLIVER.

His Standard of Honor.

From the Kansas City Journal.
 The punctilious standard of responsible ity set up for himself by Senator Pettus of Alabama, was illustrated a few days a. '. dapper young man called upon him. the grandson of an old southern friend long dead The caller talked MT. Pettus out of $50 promising to return it in few days, but the senator learned that the young man had immediately de- serted his wife and gone to parts un- El1wn. The fine old gentleman lost no time in hunting up the deserted wife, gave her enough money to meet her press in: necessities and also paid her way back to her girlhood home in Alabama.
 If l hadn't loaned the young scamp money" said Senator Pettus. when asked about the incident, he would not have been able to get out of Washington and desert his poor little wife. I theraf""" hold myself responsible for her
 plight and, of course. there was for nc to do but send her back Nfr people"

quaint German, full Of kindly wit and

them was administering the ether. He
became so interested in the old doc

from the patients nostrils, and she
half reused and rose to a sitting pos
