The Hypocrites.' a two-page poem
By Hadry II. Kemp IL the July Ameri-
can Magazine, is as stirring through
out as this its wonderful conclusion:
And so they sit forever bit by ser
pents as fierce as fire,
Hypocrite crouched by hypocrite. and
the demons never tire
At killing them over and over again,
just as on earth they did to men;
SO the laws OF the Lord require:
For man may pray tin his hair grows
gray, may ape the charities. too,
pray, build churches. colleges,
every day. But his soul
must live the truth
And death for a death the soul must
die. and the law demands an eye
for an eye.
And a tooth for a tooth"
Mr.. Kemp, twenty-five years old, is
a student in the University of Kansas.
He was born in Youngstown. Ohio.
le has been.as a cabin boy, to Austria

MAKES IMPORTANT CHANGES
IN LAWS GOVERNING ACCIDENTS
Bill is Sent to the Senate, Where it
is Laid on the Table Subject to Call
-DoIiver Will Look After the Mea.
sure There.
Associated Press

Washington, April 6.-With only
one vote against it, that of Little,
field of Maine, the house today un-
der suspension of the rules, passed
the Sterling employers liability bill
Debate was limited to 40 minutes and
all of the speeches were brief.
In brief, the bill established the
doctrine that railroads engaged in
Interstate commerce, are liable for
personal injuries received by their
employees while in the discharge of
their duties, abolish the strict CON-
mon law of liability which bars re-
covery for personal injury or death
as the result of the negligence of a
fellow servant, and abolishes also the
common law rule which makes con-
tributable negligence a defense to
the claim for damages for such in
juries. This last provision, however.
diminishes the amount of the re-
covery in the same degree that the
negligence of the injured one contri-
buted to the injury.
The bill attempts to make each per-
son responsible for his own negligence
and requires each to bear the burden
thereof.
The bill as passed by the house was
transmitted to the senate. where on
motion of Senator Deliver, it was
laid on the table subject to being call
ed up at any time.
