Smokers under 60 years Of age must

Equally important has been the COM

Moreover. the new law earnestly calls
rnon the officials Of the nation to set
an example to the people, and to oppose
wherever possible the spread of the
habit. Officials are ordered, in case they
he smokers, to give up the habit within
civ months and while this may not be
practicable, at least the law will have the
effect of compelling them to do their
smoking in private, and thus prevent the
yopulace from being able to make the
excuse that they have only been doing
what their officials did.

The act Of congress which recently
went into operation granting to GER
tain employees Of the United States
compensation for injuries sustained ID
the course Of service Is a measure II
considerable importance in the domain
OF labor legislation.
The new law applies to persons em.
ployed by the government as artisans
or laborers in the following services
Arsenals, navy yards, river and har-
Dor construction, fertilization con.
struction, hazardous employment in
the reclamation servlce-nameIy, in
construction and In control and man
agement Of works hazardous employ
ment under the isthmian canal com.
mission and government manufacture
ing establishments. About 1900 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 il the injury is
due to the negligence or misconduct
Of the employee injured.
The compensation consists Of con-
tinuanee during the period of disabIli-
ty, but not over one year. Of the same
pay which the employee was receiving
at the ting of the injury. II the EN-
ployee Is 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-
ton Is paid TO these dependent rela-
lives until the completion Of the
twelve months period.
No compensation will 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
iured employee or, in case OF his
death, by his dependents and forward
ed by the official superior OF the In
jurad employee, accompanied by a
physicians certificate, through the
regular official channels to the score
tary Of commerce and labor. The sec.
rotary is 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 win 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
eminent employees exceeds 100000,
these statistics will prove Of great
scientific value and practical use in
the future.

Jefferson pavis, Ambition.

Jefferson Davis was a man Of most
sincere conviction and courageous ac
ton, and when the Southern Confeder
Rcy was about to be organized his sin
gle ambition was the command of the
Confederate army. This | had from
his own lips at his residence at Beau.
voir, Miss, some fifteen years after
the war. He told me that when he
started for Montgomery, Ala, when
the movement began for the organi-
cation Of the Confederacy he hoped to
be called to the command of the army
but before he reached Montgomery he
was advised of his election as pro-
visionary president. When he reached
the new capital of the Confederacy
he found it impossible to change condi-
tons, and he was compelled to accept
the presidency, and he entered upon
that duty as conscientiously as any
public man ever entered upon an Of
fetal career.-C Colonel A K. Mcclure

WASHINGTON. D. c.. Oct. 12.-
President Gompers OF the American
Federation Of Labor today issued his
appeal to the laboring men to sup
port the democratic party in the ma
tional campaign. In the appeal ne
says, that the despotic power of the
republican party to undermine the
government Is as dangerous as the
power OF the crown, and that its
progress must be stayed" Continu-
ing. he says further, I'VE appeal to
the republican party for an anti in
junction plank, and it replied by
nominating Taft, the champion OF In
functions. The platform OF the
democratic party stands for in
junction by which law is to the in
terest Of the laboring men, and It
Is therefore their duty to support the
democratic party In the campaign.
