Compulsory insurance, which has beer
in operation throughout Germany fol-
the last twenty-five years, will undeni
ably result in much benefit to wage earn
ers therein, the opinion of Consul Norton
of Chemnitz. He has reported to the
department of Commerce and Labor that
many workers in Germany, uncertain oil
finding steady employment in old age,
are feeling the benefits of the compulsory
law. In describing the plan, Consul Nor
ton says that physicians are engaged by
the officials of insurance companies on
fixed contract terms at fees considerably
lower than those usually paid for such
services. The physicians. however, must
exercise considerable ingenuity in ascer-
tanning whether or not the patient is
really i'll and in need of attention. The
plan seems to be working well and many
persons who were formerly treated as
charity patients are, under the conditions,
enrolled in the ranks of the Insured.

The Pope's Jubilee

Tuesday of last week was the Episcopal
jubilee of His Holiness, Pope Plus X, an
event which is worthy of special mention
since the present occupant OF the chair OF
st. Peter is such an unaffectedly good
mana man who has the welfare of the
whole Christian world so genuinely at
heart. He is at the head of a great
church organization, has under his abso-
lutte control millions OF men and women,
who recognize in him the visible vicar OF
Christ upon earth. He is their supreme
pontiff their pope, their father-the head
of their faith. They believe in him. trust
in him and place their utmost confidence
in him, in what he says and does; at the
same time subscribing most devotedly
to his acts.
He is good man, simple, unaffected
man. a man of the people, calculated by
heart, impulse and act to draw people to
him. This he has done and will probably
continue to do as long as he fills the posi-
ton he does. He is lovable individual
itv, a man to whom state has broughtno
austerity, to whom power has added
nothing of outward or inward pomp.
One of the chief drawbacks of his reign,
however, is that he is no longer able to
go about and mingle with the people,
whom he so much loves and whom he is so
much in sympathy with and from whom
he sprung. We are sure the whole world
will unite in congratulation upon his
jubilee, no matter whether Protestant or
Catholic, because, as the head of one of
the greatest of religions, he typifies so
much of that which wins one towards |
goodness, righteousness and the love of
one's neighbor as ones self.

In the fifteen counties of South Caro-
lima which voted "dry" last August, the
drastic prohibition law enacted at the
last session of the legislature went into
effect last week. With the closing of the
dispensaries in these fifteen counties only
six remain "wet," twenty-one having
been "dry" at the time of the local op-
ton election last summer. The statute
not only forbids the sale of liquor in the
"dry" counties, but it prohibits "keep-
ing in possession" any liquor whatever.
Those who think Vermont is rigid with
its liquor law may get some comfort"
in reading this.
