BRYAN AND THE TRUSTS.

The Spokesman-Heview and other
republican newspapers OF the west

TO misrepressnt the attitude OF the
democratic party toward the trusts

out BY the facts, and the publication
OF the names Of those who contribu-
tod TO the democratic fund dop not
reveal one trust magnate. nor the
name Of q representative OF q trust.

refuses 70 publish. previous to cleo

contributed 70 its fund. which is EVIL

Had Germany been content 10 visit q
little Il is probable that q general
agreement to recognize the usuFplng
Sultan Mulai Had would have been
reached among all the powers which
signed the Aigeciras convention two
years ago. Spain and England sympa-
thize with France a. against Germany,
and Austria stands BY Germany. Both
Spain and England are as deeply In
terested In good order in Morocco as
France itself. What Is needed there
is q stable government, and II Mulai
Hand 10 the one to establish and main
tain the same he win doubtless have
full Official sanction Of his rule sooner
or later.
The situation in Morocco IL one Of
irritation and suspicion and especially
disquieting for the people Of France.
Germany's arrogance. first displayed
by the kaiseF's broad hint OF Interven-
ton In 1905. is a nettie to the sensitive
feelings OF the French, who can never
forget the encroachment Of Bismark-
fan days, which eliminated disastrous
~ for them In 1870.
There seems little doubt that the at.
titude Of France In the Morocco bust
ness VIII ultimately have the sympa-
thy Of the other signatory powers to
the Algeciras treaty. BY that act the
then ruling sultan Of Morocco. Abdul
Aziz, was pledged to protect the lives
Of Europeans and their property inter
ests In his territory, and France WIN
demand guarantees that the usurping
sultan ID able not only to keep order in
the territory he may seize, but main.
tain It throughout the entire country.
French paramountcy In the regulation
OF Moroccan affairs was recognized by
England four years ago. and the logic
of the situation was held to be entirely
with France during the deliberations
at Algeciras in 1905 AS the occupant
OF Algeria and Tunis, she has direct
and vital interest in the preservation
OF order IN Morocco.
The French government has all along
seemed disposed to stand pat and pur-
sue to the end the course which
France and Spain. as the policing pow.
ers under the Algeciras treaty, orig
inally agreed upon and make the
Moors behave by main force. France
IL not bound to submit to dictation by
Germany. nor can Germany. even
though supported by Austria. force her
policy upon England and Spain. II
must DO patent in Berlin that n union
OF the sen power Of France and Eng.
land upon the Mediterranean would
DO irresistible to any other European
combination, and the fate Of Morocco
rests entirely IN the hands OF the pow
era which In conflict control the wa
tiers on its northern shore. The kaiser
wishes 10 appear as a leading factor In

midable outbreak in Morocco tends to
bolster up this fiction. But In the end

Unele Sam WilI Pay Damages.
Tho act OF congress which recently
went into operation granting to GER
tain employees Of the United states
compensation for injuries sustained in
the course Of service ID a measure OF
considerable Importance in the domain
Of labor legislation.
The new law applies 20 persons en-
ployed BY the government as artisans
Or laborers in the following services:
Arsenals, navy yards, river and har-
Dor construction. fertilization con-
structicn, hazardous employment I'm
the reclamation service namely, In
construction and In control and man
agement Of works--hazaPdou employ
ment under the isthmIan canal com
mission and government mannfactur-
ing establishments. About 75.O0O gov
eminent employees come within the
provisions Of the law, Compensation
win be paid under this act only for
such injuries to an employee as occur
In the course Of his employment and
cause inability to pursue his employ
ment for more than fifteen days. Com
pensation Is not paid II the injury is
due to the negligence or misconduct
of the employee injured.
The compensation consists OF a con-
tinuance during the period Of dlsabIli-
~, but not over one year, OF the same
pay which the employee was receiving
at the time Of the injury. II the en-
ployee IL killed by the accident or dies
from the results Of the injury received
and leaves a widow or children under
sixteen years Of age or dependent par
ents, the same amount Of compensa.
ticn Is paid to these dependent rela-
lives until the completion Of the
twelve months period.
No compensation win be paid either
for injury or for death unless the per
sons entitled to such compensation
make application for the same. This
application must be made by the in
jured employee or, in ease Of his
death, by his dependents ana forward
ed by the Official superior Of the In
tured employee, accompanied by a
physicians certificate, through the
regular official channels to the secre-
tary OF commerce and labor. The sec
rotary IL authorized by the act to de-
mand such additional information or
order such investigation as is neces-
sary for the proper administration Of
the law.
The records Of the application Of
this act viii furnish valuable ma
terial for statistics of accidents, which
for this country are quite meager. In
order to make the statistics more COM
plete and valuable reports Of all acct
dental injuries to government employ
ees, regardless Of the application OF
this act. have been requested from all
government establishments and Offices.
As the number Of United States gov
ernment employees exceeds 100000.
these statistics WIN prove Of great
scientific value and practical use in
the future.
