Ancestrv.

There may be, and there often is,
indeed, regard for ancestry which
nourishes only weak pride; as there
is also care for posterity, which only
DISCUSSES habitual avarice, or hides
the workings of low and groveling
vanity. But there is also moral and
philosophical respect for our ancestors
which eleyates the character and i'm
proves the heart -Dacial Webster.

The Sterling Liability Law.

The employers liability law, which
was rushed through congress much
to the amazement of conservative leg
islators, takes its title from Repre-
sentative Sterling, who introduced 1t
as an administration measure. The
president has often committed himself
to a measure of this kind. The Sterling
bill passed the house by an overwheln.-
ing vote, but it was expected that it
would undergo Important notifications
in the senate, where there were two
bills pending under the sponsorship of
Knox and La Toilette. A feeble at
tempt was made to substitute the La
Toilette bill as amended in the senate
committee for the Sterling bill, and
sundry amendments were offered, but
the opinion seemed to prevail that this
bill will stand the best chance of sur
viving the scrutiny of the supreme
court, which declared the act of June,
1906, unconstitutional.
The trainers of the Sterling bill tried
TO meet the Tatal ODJecIlOn set IOEIn ny
the court to the law of 1906-namely,
that it confused interstate commerce
and intrastate commerce. As passed
by the house and senate it applies to
all common carriers in interstate COM
merce. 1t holds the employer liable
for the neglect of his workmen and for
defective machinery, and even contrib
utory negligence on the part of an in
iured workman is not to be a bar
against his recovering damages, The
chief exceptions taken to the bill are
that it unduly enlarges federal power
of regulation and that in annulling the
old law of contributory - negligence
clashes with the laws of many of the
states.

Blocking the sOpen Door"

The original reason given for dis.
patching the battleship fleet to the
Pacific was good as far as it went, and
it went far enough to cover the trans
fer of a big sea power, say, to our
western ports or even to Hawaii The
voyage to the far east seemed to come
as an afterthOught, but it may have a
deeper significance than has yet ap-
peared on the surface. China proper
may be or may not be on the verge of
an upheaval, and Japan may be anX-
ious for peace or simply playing pos
sum-" But Manchuria is Chinese ter
ritory, according to the rule laid down
by this country in 1904, and in Man
churia there is and is likely to be
trouble.
Both Russia and Japan dispute the
authority Of Pekin with respect to the
local government of Manchuria, and
yet in the treaty Of Portsmouth both
agreed to respect Chinese sovereignty
in that territory. Naturally our agents
in Manchuria take the view of it which
is expressed in the treaty. In no other
way can the "open door" policy be
firmly asserted by the United States
If China can be virtually ousted from
Manchuria because other nations have
secured interests there, the same thing
can happen in any province south of
the great wall. Encroachments in
Manchuria by Russia, Japan or any
other nation in defiance of the supreme
authority of China over all it's own
territory as contended for by the Unit
ed States cannot be approved without
a backdown from the doctrine of a
genuinely ''open door" for all the
world. With the feet where it is, this
country is in a position to speak with
weight and call a halt on the invasion
of Chinese rights in Manchuria under
cover of railway privileges, whatever
their origin Perhaps China will be
able to take care of herself some day,
but just at present the keeping of the
doorway clear is a contract to which
the United States is a party.

The practice of spraying fruit
trees while they are in blossom is
pronounced to be very injurious.
Many states forbid it, California,
New York, Colorado, New Jersey
Georgia and Michigan being among
the number, the fines being all the
way from SO to 500. The poisons
employed in modern spraying pre-,
Daratlons, where used during the

instances caused the death of all
bees in the neighborhood, and IL
