General Booths Optimism.

The eightieth birthday anniversary
of the founder and commander of
the Salvation Army has brought from
him a letter filled with optimism.
Years of labor for the lowly and
among the unfortunate and distressed
have not made Of him a pessimist.
With a knowledge Of the dark side of
life possessed, perhaps, by no other
living man, his eyes have not been so
dimmed by years and environment as
to obscure the bright star of hope.
It is pleasing to note that while
others with less right to judge class
Americans as dollar chasers, wrapped
up in the problems of material devel-
opment and requirement, the clear in
sight of General Booth sees the other
side. He recognizes the immense po-
tentiality of the restless energy of the
American people, backed by great nat
ural resources. and expresses the faith
that 1t will continue to be directed
for the uplift of humanity when he
says:
What will you do with this mighty. magic
force? If you are permitted to realize your
ambition to lead the world. whittier will
you lead It? To utter abandonment of faith
in the eternal and the neglect of every duty
flowing out of IL, to senseless worship of
mammon to useless frivolities? No, / am
sure you won't, and l blush at the very
mention of such things and denounce them
with all my soul.
The life Of General Booth at so
stands as an object lesson to others.
His methods and his creed may be sub
ject to controversy, but his keeping in
touch with the worlds progress and
thought has made him a virile force
during the years past instead of a
croaking raven and will continue so to
do until his time comes to lay life's
burden down.

RECAsTING JUDGE-MADE LAW.
Fellow Servant Doctrine R~epudIated
by Several States.
PhiladAlDhfa Praas

New Jersey follows New York, PennsyI-
vania and Delaware in the enactment of
a statute covering the liability of employ
ers for injuries to their servants. Eng
land years ago overturned the peculiar
judge-made law which had prevailed for
sixty years, whereby a servant manned
for life, or his family In case he were
killed, could not recover any compensation
from the employer IL the injury were
caused by the negligent act of a fellow
workman engaged in common employ
ment." American legislatures have been
slow to follow the English Parliament in
this highly salutary reform of the SUBJ
s~tantive law. Present Indications are that
before long the "feIlow-servant doctrine"
will be entirely eliminated in the United
States.
This principal was first declared as the
law in 1887. Lord AbipSer. a common law
judge Of great learning and ability. was
its author. Cautious application was made
of it in the succeeding five years. Then
Chief Justice Shaw of the supreme court
of Massachusetts, adopted the same line
of reasoning as Lord Abinger, and ex-
pounded the doctrine with greater logical
force than ever before. The sequel was the
firm establishment of the "feilow-servant
CNNaf ~ bAbAASh anu american JuIlS-
prudence. Shaw's decision had such weight
in the House OF Lords that the doctrine
of common employment was forced upon
the reluctant common law courts Of Scot
land.
Several American states other than those
already named have reIudiated the doc
trine by statute. Georgia. Montana and
Colorado. Kentucky and Connecticut are
among those which have Joined with Mas
sachusetts in repudiating the doctrine Of
common employment" and minimized the
defense of contributory negligence.
This doctrine in the seventy years OF its
existence has entailed terrible hardships to
thousands OF poor families IN England and
America. It arose from a judicial blunder
in considering the problem in Its narrow
legal aspects without regard TO the
economic and ethical principles involved.
In effect. IL was declared that a work
man. by his contract of service. assumes
all risks OF the employment, including the
risks that may come through the act or
neglect OF his fellow-ssrvsnts Thousands
Of cases have been decided in the course
Of which The doctrine has been extended
in a manner TO entail greater immunity for
employers

The Cry of Coercion.

When democratic senators charge
President Taft with trying to coerce
congress by threatening to veto bills
they sound upon unsympathetic ears.
This charge hardly ome with good
grace from the democratic side of the
fence when the late democratic stand
ard bearer of the party in the last and
in two previous campaigns has been
putting in all winter travelling owe the
country seeking to coerce democratic
which the country has repudiated. His
latest exhibition in that line was made
in Texas, the home state of the sena-
tor voicing the charge against Mr..
Taft.
So far as made public, Mr.. Taft has
not said he would veto any measure
passed by congress or made IN
threats of what he would do in case
desired legislation was not enacted.
He has made it plain, however, that
the country expected congress to re-
deem the pledges made to the people
who elected them. If representative
legislators call that coercion they are
thin-skinned, indeed,
AS president Mr.. Taft is not only the
head Of the republican party, but is
primarily held responsible for the re-
demption OF the pledges the party
made to the people on which the re-
publican party was retained in power.
In the stand he has taken Mr.. Taft
demonstrates that he understands the
responsibility and proposes to make
good. The president would be justly
held remiss in his duty IL he did not,
in his Official capacity, do what was
within his power to bring about the
enactment of measures demanded by
the people and pledged by the party.

Two Water Bond Propositions.

The Omaha Water company is seeking to
defeat the water works bonds.-Water
Commissioner Nipple.
II the other statements made in be-
half of the proposed $500, 600 water
bond issue are on a par with this they
must be very fimsy indeed. Not only
is the water company not opposing the
proposed bond issue, but it's officers
are actively working for the bonds.
The Bee knows whereof 1t speaks on
this matter. Whatever else may be
charged against the owners of the
water works, they will not be accused
of lacking in business judgment. They
will not only be glad to sell their plant
for the $6,263, 295.49 fixed by the ap-
praisers, but are the very ones who
will make big profits by the transac-
ton. If voting the $~6,500,000 of
bonds will help them unload the sooner
they will omit nothing to bring about
the voting of the bonds and the COM
pletion of the sale. The president of
the water company is on record In
favor of voting the bonds. Anyone
who says the water company is against
the bonds Toes not know what he is
talking about.
Municipal ownership of the water Plant
will not affect the tax rate one way or the
Herald.
That depends entirely upon the
price we have to pay to buy the works.
If the water works could be acquired
on a valuation on which the revenue
from private would pay all
fixed charges in addition to operating
expenses, that would be true, but If we
have to pay $6,263, 295.49 it is 10 to 1
that the revenues will not pay the
whole sum required and that we will
have to levy taxes, disguised as n.y.
drant rentals, or some other way, to
make up the difference.
The water company is now paying
about $4,000 a year in taxes, which
will have to be made good by taxes on
other property after the city acquires
the plant. The city in addition is. or
should be. paying about 500, 600 a
year raised by taxes for hydrant rem
tai. The only place where a real saw
ing would be possible is in dispensing
with the high-priced lawyers who have
been milking the water fund.
Put II down that you cannot have
your pie and eat it, too. The bills
will have TO be paid either by the
water users or by the taxpayers, and
the basis of the burden will be the
price paid for the plant with a million
or more added for betterments and ex-
tensions.

will prevail and all simply wait for de
velopments.
The encouraging feature is the fact
both parties have decided to proceed
with the work of mining and market
ing coal. Time was, and that not so
far distant, when on April 1, when
the old scale expired, would have wit
messed a strike or a lockout. If the
common sense thus displayed could be
carried a step farther and the inter-
ested parties come to an operating
agreement, a load would be lifted from
the industrial situation. The business
is so extensive. the number of men in
volved so large, and it is so intimately
connected with the other affairs of the
country that the uncertainty is a cloud
upon general industrial activity.

DIVORCE COURT REFORM.
One NevRda Court Declines 10 Boost
the Business.
New York Times.

NeW 1OIk IImeS.
The divorce courts of Nevada are i'm
proving. Perhaps it is because OF the ex-
ample of South Dakota. Judge w. II. A.
Pike OF Reno. in Nevada. granted a d.
vorce last fall, on the ground OF desertion.
TO a New York actor, although neither he
nor his wife had gained a legal residence
there. Immediately thereafter a person in
New York attempted TO secure a divorce
in Nevada without even appearing in court.
This was too much even for the legal con-
science of Justice Pike. who feared that to
grant the divorce would make him the
laughing stock Of the whole country. Then
South Dakota voted the amendments to it's
divorce statute. which require of foreign
petitioners a years residence instead OF six
months, and that all proceedings be heard
at a regular term of the court. 1t is not
to be wondered at, therefore. that the 'di-
vorce colony in Nevada should be dis
mayed at the decision just rendered by
Judge Orr's court at Reno. which, holds
that the state law does not throw the
courts of Nevada open TO the world so
that people might come here, stay a day
or so, the complainant starting the action
and the defendant coming into the state
TO be served, and thus confer jurisdiction
upon the court"
1t may be, as Prof. Wilcox AYERS, that
divorce does not necessarily intensity the
evils OF marriage in the ratio of its in
crease. Nevada allows many divorces. and
for many causes; South Carolina none at
all; doubtless family morals are not much
worse in the one state than in the other.
DR.. Samuel w. Dixie Of the n ,tiona' Lsague
for the Protection Of the Family. declares
that his society is confronted in some quar-
ters with strenuous objection TO the belief
that the present enormous volume of
American divorce is itself an evil. But
certainly II is a sign Of great marital I'M
rest that one In nine to twelve marriages
should end in a permanent separation. The
reform OF procedure In the divorce courts,
an interstate agreement, even, concerning
domicile and valid causes of divorce, repre-
sent only a beginning OF the solution OF a
problem that demands successful attack
long before resort can be had TO the law.
