CONGRESSIONAL DolNGs.

An agreement has been entered into
between the progressive Republicans
and the Democrats whereby the house
will have a opportunity before adj
journment to vote on a resolution de-
claring the chair of the speaker va
cant. The progressives, angered. by
the repeated declarations of Speaker
Cannon that they are "too cowardly"
to vote to depose him, have deter
mined to knock the chip off the shoul-
der of the Danville warrior.
In delivering q scathing denuncia-
ton of the American Sugar Refining
company in the house of representa-
tives Congressman Henry 7. Rainey
(Dem., 1ll.) did not hesitate to make
bold suggestions concerning "that
most corrupt and rotten trust eve
created by the protective tariff sys-
tem," and President Taft, Attorney
General Wickersham and Henry w.
Taft, brother of the president.
Senator Nelson made a powerful as
sault upon the administration railroad
bill in the senate. Mr.. Nelson spoke
for an hour and he was given the
closest attention by administration
and progressive senators. That his
speech will add strength to the oppo-
sition is generally conceded.
A limit should be put on the use of
the cold storage for the purpose Of
maintaining or advancing prices arti-
ficially, in the judgment of the senate
cost Of living committee. Chairman
Lodge has introduced in the. senate a.
bill to meet this recommendation.
Senator La Toilette, in a speech in
opposition to the administration rail
road bill, severely arraigned the de-
partment Of Justice under the present
administration.

COMPENSATION For Work Accidents.
The federal government is not alone

Compensation For Work Accidents
The federal government is not alone
in the effort to arrive at some plan
which shall give reasonable and fair
compensation to employees who are
disabled by accident while at work
for Others. What doubtless will be
known among the states as the Wis
consin plan was worked out by a joint
legislative committee after months of
study Of the European systems Of
compensations for industrial acct
dents. By seeking to safeguard the
employers interest as we'll as the in
terest of the victim of accident it may
escape the fate of numerous employ
ers' liability laws. state and national,
and score u decisive advance in this
class of legislation.
The legislators and labor leaders of
New York also recently have investi-
gated work accidents. The amounts
Of compensation to victims. the cost
to employers in damages. defense in
the courts, liability insurance and SO
on appear in the exhibits and in inn
portant particulars coincide with the
findings of the Wisconsin committee.
It would be well for the whole coun-
try if both states would set up and
test new measures adapted to local
conditions. In Europe liability laws
differ widely. and it may be that no
general law could be drafted which
would accomplish the desired ends
throughout the Union.

The british Crisis.

The political revolution In England
has at last put The problem of the
hour up to the throne. The Liberal
premier, Asquith. has won q few points
In the house Of commons BY trading
for votes. Already the short and ugly
word has passed between an Irish
member and one Of the cabinet over a
political promise. Asquith has kept up
the war on the house Of lords which
was precipitated when that body re
ferred the Liberal budget back to the
people.
The Liberal program has been that
the house Of lords must be amended or
ended. The king may amend it by
strengthening the Liberal vote there
Dr. he may let 1t go to the people. 1t
is possible that in seeking to change
the basis Of taxation Asquith precipi-
tated a crisis be cannot control. While
the house Of lords is unpopular, the
new budget is not popular. Asquith
may fall, the house Of lords be saved
and amended and some sort Of budget
bill passed to carry on the nation.
Aided by the king, the nation may
profit by the political quarrel and elm
mate the chief factors in that quarrel.

HENRIETTA CRosMAN.

In these days OF mushroom stars and
one-part actors, the career OF Henrietta
Crosman, the popular star who comes
to the Salt Lake theatre three days,
beginning September 8, in her most re-
cent comedy success, Anti MatrimOny.'
by Percy MacKaye, stands out in bold
artistic relief; for in her stage career
she has played almost every part
known to the drama, and her stellar
position was won by years Of faithful
apprenticeship to her profession.
She first appeared in this in New
York in 1901 and her success was one
of the most emphatic in the history Of
the stage. For over a year this play
ran in New York, and TWO years on
the road. She then broke the record
for a continuous Shakespearean run in
New York, by appearing in AS You
Like IT. for nearly six months. Her
Rosalind was pronounced an deal in
depreciation. Sweet Kitty Bellairs"
was her next play. and since then she
has produced The Sword of the King,
The Country Girl" "All-of-a- Sudden
Peggy" Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary"
Joan o. the Shoals The Christian
Pilgrim" and sham"
ti-MatrimOny," ner present play
is from the pen OF cnat master crafts
man, Percy MacKcye, and is probably
the best comedy she has ever Lad. In
fact it is in this play that she Will
