any one comes not from a comparison
with it's fellows, but from a comparison
of haphazard development of its social in
situations with it's splendid organic devei-
opment of it's industrial enterprises. And
more, in the methods of and scope of pro-
gressve business organizations we have
some of the most suggestive clues as to
ways of municipal progress"
His argument Is that IL the civic re-
sponsibilities of democracy In an indus

concern would do. figure out the ground

cial machinery to so cover It.. BY social

bearing on the living conditions of peo-
pie Second, to hold these agencies as
closely accountable as are enterprises in
the business world; and to bring them to
the ultimate tombstone of their effect on
the welfare of the average citizen.
Unless a wage earning population is
so insured against disease, its vigor and
effectiveness Is conserved the community
is not meeting its responsibilities toward
the Industries which must depend upon
these workers for output and profit. In
turn, the public should see to 1t that the
Industries do not cripple or exploit the
working force which constitutes the great
asset OF the community. And further, il
such a program is to be carried out in an
American and democratic way, the work
ers themselves must have great 'lee-way
and leisure in which to bear their share

American democracy"

M. Florence Erb went on the witness
stand today and told in her own words the
series of dramatic events leading up to
the shooting of her husband, Captain j.
Clayton Erb, at Red Gables on October

Pale and betraying in the drawn ex-
preston of her face the great nervous
strain under which she has been laborins,
the widow gave a dramatic recital.
IN a low voice, which occasionally quiv-
cred with half stified emotion, Mrs. Erb
related many incidents to disclose the
cruelties and brutality she was compelled
to endure from her husband. She de-
scribed how Captain Erb had cursed heE
abused her with his fists and displayed in
a hundred different ways his desire to be
rid of her.
Mrs. Erb said she went to Red Gables
in May, 1906, with housekeeper and two
maids. Trouble between her and the cap
