Palestine q Land of Contrasts.

From Robert Hichenss From

Century,
| have often heard 1t said that Pal
estine is not a land of much variety,
even that II Is very monotonous. II
one compares II with other countries,
the statement may bc allowed to be
true; but In spring It affords delicious
contrasts of cold and almost grievous
sterility with soft and languorous
opulence, the contrasts between the
heights and the plains. Sad and stony
are the hills, or sometimes dull in
their rounded nudity. Noble Her
mon, with its glorious crest of snow,
excltes the spirit But as one rides
through Palestine, the general effect
of the hills Is one that makes for a
not free from melancholy.
Monotonous, too, are the plains. But
therein lies for me their supreme at
traction. As one slowly descends into
them, picking his way among the
bristling rocks, he has the sensation
of being taken as by some green and
tranquil sea, full of lulling murmurs
and of movements that suggest pas
sivity of the mind The wild flowers
stir In the breeze, the prairies of corn
turn to a delicate pallor as the silken
wind bends each ear.

Columbus o., April 2S-A square
deal for the workingmen.
That's the meaning of the concur
renee by the house late Wednesday
in the senate amended Norris
Mathews employers liability bill. 1t
was one of the biggest victories for
organized labor ever won in Ohio
legislative halls. The bill now goes to
Governor Harmon.
This is how the Norris Mathews
measure compels the employer to
bear the responsibility for his own
carelessness and negligence:
1t abolishes the fellow servant
theory by which corporations have
shifted responsibility for accidents
from their own shoulders to that of
another employe.
1t makes the existence of unsafe
conditions and defective machinery
and tools prima facie evidence of neg
ligence on the part of the employer.
1t takes from the employer the de-
fense that a workman continued in his
employ even with knowledge of un-
safe conditions.
1t provides that even in case of
contributory negligence of the work.
man, the employer is not relieved of
liability for negligence.
The bill, as amended, makes the
maximum amount payable to the heirs
of family of a workman who is killed

The vote on concuring was ninety
three to five. Those who voted in
negative We're: Bowersox, Garner,
