The employers liability bill ques-
ton has more than one side to it.
Doubtless its advocates seek more to
protect the employees and prevent &C
cidents than to exact tribute from
employers. However, there are num-
erous instances, when employers are
not in the least responsible for the
acts OF their employees. They seek
to employ competent men and trust
them to do certain lines OF work.
Then, follow accidents-oftentim
because of negligence of those en-
ployed or some one or more of them.
Employers would not have had the
accidents occur and did not know
they were to occur, else they would
have taken steps to prevent them, by
either watching the men who caused
them to occur or by getting other
men. As an instance showing that
employers are not in reality respon-
sible criminally or morally for all
accidents all one need do is to recall
a bad freight collision at Adamston
a few years ago, in which one man
was pinioned between his engine and
the tender, meeting a horrible death.
The yard crew was out there shift
ing cars. Some one of its members
left the switch open, a fast freight
rounded the curve, entered the side
track and the crash came. Certain
ly in this Instance no one would pre-
tend TO say that the railroad COM
pany as employer or otherwise was
responsible for that accident. 1t
was the act of the employed. The
railroad company knew nothing about
it until after the collision and could
not have known before 1t happened.
Again, 1t is advanced that such a
law would tend to bring about dis
order, lack of system and result in
confusion, perhaps, to the extent of
demorallzlng labor and industry, as
the employees themselves might be-
come careless, having no responsible
ity, and employers might become dis
trustful OF employees. Such ooudi-
tions would work to the injury of
labor.
On the other hand advocates of
the measure evidently have consider
ed all the features of both sides and
concluded that there is more to com
mend such a law than there is to
condemn 1t.

ton. lined up last fall in behalf Of
Secretary Taft and yesterday cllnch-
ed their attitude by putting through
the Taft program by an increased
majority.
And Senator Foraker is distrusted
on other grounds than that Of being
a dog in the manger. Although a
man of engaging personality and OF
admitted ability he many times
shocked the sensibIlitIes of the Re
pubHcans of Ohio. He is believed
by many to have betrayed John sher-
man when Sherman was ohio's can
didate for the presidency. He was a
constant and OTTER an underhand
critic of william Mckinley, revered
by all Ohio. He did all in his power
to prevent the reelection OF Marcus
"A. Hanna to the Senate, going SO far
as practically to countenance a bolt
from the senatorial caucus. In ad-
dition it has been noted by ohioans
that Senator Foraker in some mystic
rious manner became suddenly rich,
whereas, when a candidate for COVER
nor, he won the sobriquet OF Little
Brooches" because it was brought out
during the canvass that the Foraker
household was SO poor that fathers
trousers we're made over for the Jun
Tor member of the family. 1t is the
belief OF many in Ohio that at no
time in many years has Senator For
aker been really the choice of the
state for senator. His political life,
Just as It was about to flicker out.
was saved by the death OF Senator
Hanna. He was able to establish
over his colleague, Senator Dick, the
influence that a strong man is able
to exercise over a weak one.
On the other hand, Secretary Taft
appeals to the best and highest ira
ditions of Ohio. He was the friend
OF both Sherman and Mckinley. He
has never been trickster or
schemer, or in any way demagogue.
He has consistently opposed every
thing that was corrupting in Ohio
life-no later than a year ago open
" asking for the defeat OF Boss Cox
in Cincinnati. He has not become
suddenly rich. Having measured up
to every responsibility laid on him,
having proved true in every public as
in every private relation, it is not re
markable that he has secured the re-
spect and affection of the state-not
perhaps of the professional polite
ians, but of the people who are now
to pass on his candidacy.

There is no use of whining and
bowling around about the extra ses-
sion of the legislature being called.
The governor mas called it and in all
probability the representatives of
the people will gather in the capitol
at Charleston about II O'Clock in
the forenoon of Jan. % and get ready
for the transaction of BNsiness. 1t
behooyes the snarlers to leave on
their snarling and do what they can
to assist the legislators in being
careful, judicious and expedient in
the transaction of the important bust
ness they will have before them dur
ing the session.

State as compared with the same
subjects in other States:
The Pittsburg Dispatch comments
upon the mine inspection. laws in
West Virginia. which 1t pronounees
to be the worst In the country
Without arguing the comparative
merits Of mining laws, It may Be
worth while TO remark that states
much older than West virginia IN
mining. do not seem to obtain much
better results 50 far as the protec-
ton of life is concerned compar-
Ing the Darr mine disaster with that
at Monongah, and we ind that in the
former, the cause was undoubtedly
an accumulation OF explosive gas
that the presence of gas was well
known to all; that the mine operat-
ors had knowledge of the dangerous
character of the mine, and that no
adequate protective measures were
taken. On the other hand, the Mo-
nongah mine was one of the best
equipped mines in the country, and
50 far no evidence has been adduced
Of earelessness or inefHciency on the
part of mine inspectors.
West Virginia doubtless has a
good deal to learn in the matter Of
mine inspection and regulation; but
West Virginia is not the only state
that needs to improve along this line.
