LIABILITY LAW IS DRAFTED
MINNESOTA COMMISSION MAKES
PUBLIC ITS REPORT.
Rights of Workingmen to Be Protected
in Cases of Personal
Injury.

81. raul. - WIN Few minor
changes made at final conference
attended by George M. Gillette, H. "
Mercer and w. E. McEwen, the EN-,
ployers' liability and workingmen's
compensation bill as drafted by these
three, constituting the Minnesota com.
mission, is practically ready for pre-.
sentation to the legislature.
The measure is put in the form of q
code and if passed at the coming ses.
sion will supersede all employers lila.
bility laws now in force in Minnesota.
Several months have been spent in
the drafting Of the measure. H. "
Mercer is chairman of the drafting
commission and has had several years
experience and investigation into the
subject.
Some of the features of the bill as
drafted by the commission are as fol.
lows:
Every employment from which in.
juries arise to be declared danger.
Gus employment.
Every employer of men in such dan
gerous employment to be subject to
payment for injury arising therefrom
according to conditions in the bill.
AS to Hospital Expense.
Hospital expenses, specified In the
bill, to be borne by the employer for
stated time after the injury to the
employee.
Definition given of dependents on
an injured employe and the payments
to be made to such dependents.
Partial liability, total disability
and all other questions liable to arise,
are defined.
Contributory negligence, or the fault
of the employee, changed to that of
risk of an industry.
Employees earning power to be used
as basis for the payment of a COM
pensation.
One of the unusual features Of the
measure is the preamble. 1t is seldom
that either state or federal statutes
include this in any of the measures
adopted by the legislature. The object
of the preamble is to indicate to the
courts the necessity for the object of
the law and the eTil intended to be
remedied so that courts can determine
the legislative motive of the law.
The present measure is the outcome
Of the conference of representatives of
10 states that met in Chicago last
month. H. V. Mercer was the chair
man at that meeting. The bill in its
entirety carries the Minnesota idea
of employers liability, and is known
to industrial workmen and their en-
ployers throughout the United States.
Its purpose is to do away with ex.
pense of law suits, the company claim
agent and the personal injury SHY
ter" lawyer. Injured workmen will
not be compelled to compete with the
large array of legal talent employed
by big firms, according to the trainers
of the measure. The sum to be re-
ceived will practically be fixed by law
before the injury occurs.
1t has not yet been decided who will
take the bill and bring it before the
legislature. Several members have
been considered and it is expected that
final choice will he made early next
week.
A board of arbitration will be pro-
vided for in the proposed code and
will consist of three members in every
county of the state. These members
will be appointed by the district court
and will hold their Offices so long as
the court approves.

MRS. ROBERTSON
TALKS ON HOME MISSIONS
Rev. D. H. Bailey Gives the
Third of a Series Of
Sermons.
Rev. J. Il. CurIin Delivers an Able
Sermon on "Thc Thrccfold Christ"

The Home Missions of America was
the subject of an interesting talk by
Mrs. w. +. Robertson, OF CINCINNATI
given at the Epworth church Sunday
morning Mrs. Robertson spoke OF
the great need of Christian awaken.
ing throughout the western states Of
our country She told of the great
eMpanse of territory peopled with
those who have never heard of Christ
In Oregon there or 900 towns In
which there is no church or mission.
There are also two whole tribes of
Indians in this state who are without
the knowledge of Christ In other
places on the western coast great
work Is needed among the Oriental
homes. The great number of Chinese
and Japanese which throng to our
shores need the enlightenment also.
Going farther into the interior, there
are places in Arizona Mexico an |
Texas, where towns build up in a
night. In these places the greed for
wealth and the hurry and hustle of
business life shuts out all thoughts
of Christianity Here is a crying need
for Christian workers Going now TO
the southland we find the most pitt.
able, most distressing lack of Chris.
tian comforts. Here the people are
ever hospltable but they have little
to give. Their homes are wretched,
little cabins poorly furnished. 1t Is
almost impossible to conceive of the
conditions there. They have no schools
fit for occupancy, no churches suited
to the worship of God. These build
ings are rude, upholstered, one-room-
ed houses, with bare boards for seats,
hardly ever a stove and almost al
ways no windows. Yet some poor
missionaries are struggling against
these disadvantages to bring Christs
gospel to these destitute people. In
the South there are over 1000 people
who cannot read or write their own
names: 5000 OF them have never been
to school. The conditions in our
great cities are miserable. Every one
knows of the great flood of imml-
grants that pours in here every year.
These people build up settlements in
our American cities where vice of ev-
cry kind is prevalent. Here they live
in dirt, filth, want misery sin and
crime. 1t has been said that the law
lessness of American cities Is men
ace to the civilization of the world.
Statistics show that America is the
man-killing nation Of the world. In
one year there were only "a murders
committed in London. All of the
murderers were apprehended. But in
Chicago there were 12S murders the
same year, only "a of whom were over
taken by the police.
With such conditions as these. our
liberty cannot long be maintained. If
America fails the world will fail.
Shall we then send away millions to
rescue foreign LANDS while our own
people are being lost? No, let us
rather heed the voice of the Saviour,
saying: Life up your eyes and look
on the fields, for they are white al
ready TO harvest"

"The Threefold Christ" was the
subject of an excellent sermon at the
First Baptist church Sunday by Rev.
j. p. Currin. The subject was taken
| from the text, Corinthians 1880.
By way of introduction the speaker
said that the threefold idea of Christ
was recognized in the old testament as
in the bud-prophet, priest and king
The three ideas were but prefgura-
tions of things to come. In the New
Testament the bud ripened into a
| flower as seen in Jesus Christ. The
| fragrance of the flower is seen in the
| Christian development.
Christ is my prophet to save me
| from Ignorance of my sin, He is my
priest to save me from the guilt of sin
and my king to save me from the do
minion of sin in the flesh.
IL speak of Christ as prophet, not
as one to merely foretell something
in the future but as a great teacher
and revealer, and one who lived as
lie taught others TO live. AS priest
lie Is my sin bearer. Jesus was the
great scapegoat. He took upon Him
self our sins and was liable to death.
He Influences God and Is the great
reconciler between God and man. God
had been wronged by man and Jesus
became our substitute and died in our
stead. We stand innocent because He
died for our sins. Satisfaction was
produced by substitution.
"As King, He is a sanctifer.
Though / am a follower of Christ
there is remnant of sin in me. That
sin must be driven out. Sin dwels in
the Christian but does not reign
Christ as King helps me to drive out
the enemy Then In the broad sense,
Christ is the King Of Kings and Lord
Of Lords.
Christ is still carrying out His
progressive ministry. His whole
church Is a prophet. 1t is just as It
was when He was here and 1t shall
continue to be until the world is saw
ed from sin.
Christ Is the great umpire in the
game OF life; He brings us to saliva
tion, to our God over his dead body"
