helpless women and children and from
strong men whom it makes dangerous
to their families and to society; when
I think of its harvest Of crime. poverty
and wretchedness, Of the degenerate
children born under its influence, I am
not disposed to criticize methods of

road corporations can refuse to employ
drinking men in charge of life and prop

its sale? The effort will do no harm
If the law breeds hypocrisy and perjury

possible, Mr.. Schwartz said: Il believe
that the law is good in part but the
present statute would have to be
changed as to the maheup of the fire

should provide that the state should ap-
point the rating board and the members
should be given the right to regulate
the insurance rates the same as / IN
