Left Behind, He Followed Masters

Mont Blanc was climbed the other
day by dog, a young st. Bernard,
under remarkable circumstances, says
a special cable dispatch from Geneva,
Switzerland. The owner of the dog,
Leopold Tairraz, a few days ago
climbed Mont Blanc with the Rus
sian astronomer Stephanic, leaving the
animal at ChamouniX.
The dog arrived at the summit OF
Mont Blanc the other evening exhaust
ed and hungry. Several Alpinists and
guides ascending and descending
Grands Mulets and Mont Blanc re-
port that the dog approached them
and, not finding his master, continued
his journey upward with his nose to
the snow as if following a scent.

DEMOCRATIC HOPE sIDETRACKED
Taft and Foraker Shoulder to Shout

Taft and Foraker Shoulder to Shout
der for Republican Principles.
Another Democratic hope has been
sidetracked.9 That was that United
States Senator Foraker would not sup
port the Taft candidacy, and would
thus impair his chances of carrying the
State of Ohio.
The two big Ohioans fttingly met
at the G. A. r. reunion in Toledo, and
publicly and good-naturedly cast what
differences may have existed between
them to the air.
Mr.. Taft's contribution to the treaty
of peace was as follows:
at is a pleasure for me to be here
with Senator Foraker, because when
governor of Ohio he gave me my first
chance and took a good deal of risk in
putting a man of % on the bench of
the Superior Court Of Cincinnati. We
are about to enter-or rather have en-
tered--a great Oratorical campaign. 1t
is a pleasure to think in this presence
that we are going to stand in the

the full strength of the Republican
party"
In response Senator Foraker denied
that enmity had existed between Mr..
Taft and himself, and said:

HUMMocKS FOR AUToISTs.
Plan 20 Stop Speeding by Reckless
Drivers,

Hummocks built of concrete about
one foot high and located about $50
feet on either side Of grade crossings
Is the latest device suggested to pre-
vent speed craxed automobiles who
race over the macadamized roads and
across grade crossings of Long Island
from endangering the lives OF them
selves and others.
This device of using hummockS was
brought out at conference held be-
tween Alfred j. Emo, president Of the
Long Island league; Ralph Peters,
president Of the Long Island railroad;
A. r. Pardington, president Of the
Long Island Motor parkway, and John
L. Webb, chairman of the committee
Of safety of the Long Island Automo-
bile club, the other afternoon. Without
previous discussion on the subject it
appears that the investigations Of all
concerned had brought them to favor
the hummock plan. 1t is in successful
use in Babylon. When one of these
hummocks looms up the driver of the
machine must either slow down or
run the risk of smashing the springs
on his machine If not more serious
breakdown.
In the course of his remarks Presi-
dent Peters said there were 429 grade
crossings on the Long Island railroad
and that it would be impossible to
place a Waterman at every crossing.
Further, he said that at many of the
dangerous crossings where he had men
stationed it was like waving red flag
in the face of bull to try to stop
the reckless speeder.
Mr.. Peters said his company was
willing to bear half the expense of
building the proposed hummocks, and
Mr.. Emo stated that he would put him
self in communication with the league
and propose that it bear the other half.
BY way of testing the hummock plan
after the funds have been obtained a
few experimental ones will be built.

PARTY
AND LABOR
An Equal 'ty of Opportunities Sc
cured for Wage Farmers.
William T. Taft's Speech Of Accept
ance Gives Party Record in Behalf
Of Labor.
civilian II. Taft in his speech Of ac-

civilian II. Taft in his speech Of ac-
ceptance)
We come now to the question of la
Dor. One important phase of the poll
cies of the present administration has
been an anxiety to secure for the wage
Garner an equality of opportunity and
such positive statutory protection as
shall place him on a level in dealing
with his employer.
The Republican party has passed an
employers liability act for interstate
railroads, and has established an eight
hour law for government employees and
on government construction. The es-
sence of the reform effected by the for
mer, is the abolition of the fellow-ser-
want rule and the introduction of the
comparative negligence theory by
which an employee injured in the service
of his employer does not lose all his
right to recover because of slight negli-
gence on his part.
Then there is the act providing for
compensation for injury to government
employees, together with the various
statutes requiring safety appliances
upon interstate commerce railroads for
the protection of their employees and
These are all instances of the desire
of the Republican party to do justice to
! the wage-earners.
Doubtless a more comprehensive
measure for compensation of govern
ment employees will be adopted in the
future; the principle in such cases has
been recognized and in the necessarily
somewhat slow course of legislation
will be more fully embodied in definite
statutes
The interests OF the employer and the
! employee never differ except when it
comes to a division of the joint profit
of labor and capital into dividends and
wages. This must be a constant source
of periodical discussion between the
employer and the employee, as indeed
are the other terms of the employment.
To give to employees their proper po-
sition in such a controversy, to enable
them to maintain themselves against
employers having great capital, they
may well unite, because in union there
is strength, and without it, each indi-
vidual laborer and employe would be
helpless. The promotion Of the indus
trial peace through the fundamentally
of the trade agreement is often one Of
the results of such union when intelli-
gently conducted.
There is a large body of laborers,
however, skilled and unskilled, who are
not organized into unions. Their rights
before the law are exactly the same as
those of the union men, and are to be
protected with the same care and
watchfulness.
In order to induce their employer
into a compliance with their request
for changed terms of employment,
workmen have the right to strike in a
body.
I They have right TO use such per-
suasion as they may, provided it does
not reach the point of duress, TO lead
their reluctant co-laborers to join them
in their union against their employer,
and they have a right, If they choose,
to accumulate funds to support those
engaged in a strike. to delegate to Of

Regulation for Benefit Of the
Sightless.
The kind heartedness of Mr. Taft
and his sincere common sense SYM
patty with the unfortunates in this
world has just been brought to the at
tention of the blind in a peculiar way.
Away up in the top of the Washing
ton monument, where thousands go to

stitute, which seeks to make it posi-
BILE for the adult blind of the United
States to rise above conditions of de-
pendence by becoming self sustaining,
placed on sale souvenir post cards
manufactured by it's blind. Some SEN
timental persons took the view that
this was undignified and succeeded in
having the superintendent of public
buildings and grounds order the cards
removed. T. e. Cleaveland, principal
of the institute, appealed to Mr.. Taft,
then secretary of war and within
whose jurisdiction came the Office of
public buildings and grounds. 1t took
only few words to convince the sec
rotary that the blind should have the
benefit Of this privilege, and the cards
were again placed on sale in the mon
ument.
"For this action" said Principal
Cleaveland in discussing the incident,
"AIr. Taft deserves the gratitude of
every blind person, particularly the
progressive blind, who are striving to
help their less fortunate fellows"
