NEW LAWS IN DANGER

The Baltimore Sun says: Two fed
eral judges-one in Kentucky and
the other in Tennessee-ha rem
dered decisions declaring unconsti-
tutional the Employers Liability
act, passed AT the last session OF
congress Each case involved the
liability of railways. as carriers of
interstate commerce, for injuries
sustained by employees. While the
government was not directly inter-
ested in the snits, it considered the
principle involved SO important that
il asked TO be allowed to join issue
with the plaintiffs In his message
to congress in 1904 the president
recommended the enactment Of an
employers liability law, which
should apply not only TO railroads,
but to the government itself when
the government is an employer of
labor. In his message in December,
1905. he urged the enactment of "a
wise and constitutional law cover
ing the whole subject Following
the presidents recommendation
congress enacted the Employers Lii
ability law, and il was signed by the
president on June II. 1906.
Judge John z. Mccall, of the Uni
ted States district court for the
Western District of Tennessee, in a
decision this week, holds that con
gress is not authorized, under the

citizens whose reputation certainly Is
world wide. Alexander Graham Bell,
inventor OF the telephone, is. II plans
now under way in Canada succeed. to
have his monument erected in his life
time. After a great man is dead he is
almost always immortalized in some
imperishable way, but not often does
the scientist or artist or statesman see
his lineaments perpetuated in bronze or
marble years before. he has joined the
great majority. It is, however, reported
that the Bell Telephone Memorial As.
sociation OF Canada is seeking to inter-
est the people in the erection OF
memorial at Brantford, Ontario, where
Mr.. Bell first settled after coming to
this country from Scotland. The board
Of this association has the laudable idea
OF recognizing such achievements az DR..
Bells while the man Of genius Is still
alive to appreciate the recognition. The
project is TO erect In the city of Brant-
ford on large central site monument
of artistic design, and possibly to pur.
chase the Bell homestead on Tutela
Heights. The sum of $4,000 already
has been subscribed for this purpose. It
Is hoped to raise at least $4,000. The
recipient of so signal an honor has for
many years been resident Of Washing

connected with telephone work. he has
seen the system with which his name Is
associated grow until now considerably
