LEGISLATION FOR LABOR.

There Is one other matter 10 which I shall
refer. It was made the subject of great con
troversy during the election. and calls for at
least passing reference now. My distinguished
predecessor has given much attention to the
Gauge of labor. with whose struggle for better
things he has shown the sineerest sympathy
At his instance Congress has passed the bill
fixing the liability of interstate carriers to their
employees for injury sustained in the course of
employment abolishing the rule of fellow ser
want and the common law rule as to contribu-
tory negligence, and substituting therefor the
so-called rule of comparative negligence 1t
has also passed law fixing the compensa ton of
government employees for injuries sustained In
the employ of the government through the neg
ligence Of the superior 1t also passed model
child labor law for the District OF Columbia.

with some of the important ports on the east
coast of South America reached by rail from the
west coast The work on the canal is making
most satisfactory progress. The type OF the
canal as a lock canal was fixed by Congress

ports of the ma jority and minority of the con-
sulting hoard, and after the recommendation OF
the War Department and the Executive upon

shows that nothing has occurred in the nature
of newly revealed evidence which should change

INHERENT LOVE OF THE SOIL.
Characteristic That Is the Most Deep
ly Planted in Mortals.

The first man was a gardener, we
are told. Certain 1t is that the first
men were tillers of the soil, after they
ceased to be wandering warriors.
That is where we get our love Of ma
ture, declares writer in the Kansas
City Journal. That is why we build
parks and have flowers clambering
about our premises. That Is why we
are strangely at peace when we get
out into the mountains and lose our
selves among the fragrant woods.
That IL why we loathe at times the
smell Of paint that is on civilization
and long for the perfume of the life
that is close to the green leaves and
the wild flowers. That is why we are
SO happy when we camp out and why
we are 80 reluctant to return. That Is
why our earliest recollections of the
odd farm" are the sweetest and ten
derest of our lives. That Is why we
crack joke at the simple life" and

the simple life is the life most worth
living and that we cannot get close

and daughters we are, from whom we

turn as prodigals. finding the prodi-

Paris.-Josephine who was the star

1t is Josephine's museum, erected

and with the sorrows of her divorce

There is the harp that Josephine
hever learned to play-type of the
broken music Of her life; the silver
gilt dinner service offered her by the
city of Paris; her bed. her bath. her
toilet table. her beauty utensils.
There are 500 samples of damask,
