EMPLOYERS, LIABILITY

The court of appeals OF New York
has decided, rather unwillingly blu,
unanimously, that the wainwright
law providing that employers shall
insure workmen against the conse-
quences of accident in certain haz-
ardous employments is unconstitu-
tional. The law defined the employ
ments that are hazardous and the ex-
tent of the employers liability The
court held that due process of law
was not provided for in the act which
directed what compensations en-
ployers should pay.
There remains a sense. which the
court seems to share, that the pur-
pose of the law is just, and that in
dangerous employments the risk OF
injury should be shared By the en-
ployer and shifted through him upon
the general public, on whom it be-
longs. The selling price of the
products OF dangerous work should
provide for reasonable insurance for
the workmen. The employments
named by the Wainwright law as dan
gerous are these:
/. The erection or demolition OF
any bridge or building in which iron
or steel framework is involved. ,.
The operation OF elevators, derricks,
or hosting apparatus used in or on
such bridge or building. ;, Work on
sca6olds. f. Construction of tun-
nsis and subways ;. All work car
RED on under compressed air. 6
Construction or operation aud repair
Of electrical wires or apparatus :
All work necessitating proximity 10
gunpowder. blasting powder, or dyna-
mite. S. The operation OF loeomo
tires. motors, or cars propelled by
steam electricity. or gravity. and the
construction or repair of railroad
tracks.
In these occupations. by the terms
Of the LAW, the necessary risk or
danger OF the employment was suf-
fcient basis on which TO claim com
Densation FOR injury. Another effort
IS probable to frame a liability Law
that the courts viii approve.

WHAT YOU EAT IN APPLES

Do you know what you are eating
when you eat an apple? The Nation
al Horticultural tells you. You are
eating malic acid, the property that
makes huttermilk so healthful You
are eating GALLO acid, one of the most
necessary elements in human econ
omy. You are eating sugar in its most
sssimilable form, combined carbon,
hydrogen and oxygen caught and i'm
prisoned from the sunshine. You are
eating albumen in its most available
state. You are eating gum allied 10
the fragrant medicinal gums OF
Araby And you are eating phos-
phorus in the only form in which It is
available as the source OF all brain
and nerve energy In addition 10 ali
these you are drinking the purest OF
water and eating the most healthful
and desirable fibre for the required
"rougbness. in food elements. The
acids Of the apple diminish the acIdi-
Y Of the stomach and prevent and
cure dyspepsia. They drive cut he
noxious matters that cause skin erup-
tons and thus are natures most glor
ious complexion makers. They neu.
tralize in the blood the deleterioug
elements that poison the brain and
make it sluggish. The contained
phosphorus is not only greater than
in any other form of food. but ii is
presented in shape for immediate
use by the brain and nerves. where
1t may fash into great thoughts and
great deeds. The ancients assigned
the apple as the food for the gods
and its Juices the ambrosial nectar 10
which they resorted to renew their
youth Men are the gods OF TO-DAY
and the apple is their royal food. the
magic remover of youth. Eat a rich
ripe apple every day and you have
disarmed all diseases of half their
terror.

SENATOR YOUNG Amt. VERNON

Mt. Vernon held a memorable
meeting the other night. in the form
of a booster meeting. One hundred
and fifty men sat down to dinner
fifty OF whom We're farmers, and lis
tened to the speeches which ranged
all the way from the latest theories OF
making poultry pay to the city beau
tiful. The meeting was held for the
purpose OF promoting business fellow.
ship and development in Mt. Vernon
There were many speakers, but the
chief of them was Senator Young. He
made them great speech on the duty
of Iowans in the present state crisis,
crisis brought On by a falling popu-
iation. The Cedar Rapids Republican
gives the following summary of his
remarks:
Mr. Young had some unkind words
TO say about California. He thinks
that California ought to be sued for
alternating the affections of many
Iowans and that with fraudulent and
bogus inducements. He said that
California boosted Of the fact that
she recently sent out $4,000 worth
OF oranges and lemons in one ship
ment to Iowa But Mr. Young re-
minded them of the fact that Iowa
sends out on an average $4,000 600
in products every day and Iowa
thought nothing of it. it was to them
mere matter Of detail business.
But California uses that s25 1000
shipment for advertising purposes.
She makes fuss about il in the
magazines and on millions of postal
cards that are scattered over the
whole country She lets every one
know and that is advertising and
publicity. And that is wherein Iowa
is lamentably short, advertising and
publicity
M. Young also paid his respects
TO some Iowa men who had become
boosters in California, while they had
made their money in Iowa and had
never shown enough patriotism a.
home TO keep their front fences in
repair Many OF these men were
mere tax dodgers. California tells
them that they need TO pay no taxes
on moneys and credits and so they
go there with their moneys and cred
its, enjoy the blessings Of a govern
ment which they do not help to sup
port. In return for their exemptions
they sing the praises of their adopted
state, all the time knowing that Iowa
is the really Incompatible state :

The Contract system

Cedar Falls Record: The grocers
of Cedar Falls ought to get together
and let the delivery business out by
contract. Then there would be some
system to the delivery business. II
is needless expense to keep up the
present system II the grocer met the
expense thereof the public would not
be especially interested but he does
not. The patrons CT the establish
ment foot the expense account. De
livery could be made at least fifty
per cent cheaper than at present. AS
it is now il housewife wants to in
vest nickel in something she sim.
ply telephones the grocer and he
sends delivery rig promptly to de.
liver the small purchase. Under the
contract system deliveries are made
on schedule time and those ordering
goods can get them only when the
delivery is due. This relieves the
grocer of all embarrassment and it
makes the housewife more cautious in
sending her order What works a
saving in expense to the grocer must
mean a reduction in the price of
groceries The contract system is
working fine in Grinnell. Muscatine,
Hampton and other places. Why not
put 1t into effect here7

The keokuk Emergency.

Pennington Republican: A New
Jersey preacher declares that the
words hello" as commonly used by
telephone patrons, and dam as ap
piled to water power are suggestive
profane and offensive and should be
eliminated from the language. He
suggests that the first three letters OF
hello should be dropped. leaving
10 as the proper substitute. The
reverend hints that the Keokuk dam
should be styled by q term not SO
suggestive of swear word. and
while he doesn't supply the deficiency
he leaves 1t open, and no doubt the
Keokuk papers will rise to the emer-
gency.

The Crossed FINGERS.

He swore that her kiss was the frs;
he had had;
But his fingers were crossed;
He'd kissed but his mother, when he
was a lad
Yes, his fingers were crossed,
He vowed that not only he'd ne'er hao
taste
OF auivering lips. that no oths
waist
Had ever been clasped by his arms
Then in haste
But his fingers were crossed.
The sparkler he gave her he'd pur.
chased that day,
But his fingers were crossed,
No previous maiden had worn it-nay,
nay.
But his fingers were crossed,
And never, so long as his life should
endure,
Would eye. cheek or lip of another
maid lure
He knew it-past every doubt he was
But his fingers were crossed.
She listened TO all of the gun he had
said
While his fingers were crossed,
She laid on his bosom her wise little
head
While his fingers were crossed,
She answered so low that the famed
little bird"
Who neddles sweet secrets could
scarcely have heard
AS she breathed. "Oh, my love, be-
lieve every word.'
But her fingers we're crossed.

SLAUGHTER BY WHOLESALE.

The house at Des Moines fourished
the meat axe at a recent session and
killed fifteen bills. Among the inn
portant measures that went the guillo-
tine route were Fraley's trade school
bill and Dabney's anti-lobby bill. An
other measure put TO sleep was Fetch
er's bill for changing weights and
measures Findlayson's bill to create
commission to draft all the bills
was killed In committee and later by
the house Senator Ream's plan of
giving the supervisors power to
farm gu" county prisoners at day
labor was rejected, and an important
alteration was made in Klay's bill TO
create three additional supreme court
judgeships. The bill was altered to
provide for the election of three new
judges in the 1912 election instead Of
appointment By the governor. A sub
stitute bill for Bowman's bank exam
iners measure was offered. under the
terms OF which the head examiner
will receive $4,000 per year and each
OF the examiners viii be expected 10

conditions of living, or trying unsuc-
cessfully to live in the great city
without assured means of support
Every girl who has any notion OF
going to large city to work unless
she is assured of place where she
will be paid adequate wages ought
TO read this very realistic story, so
true to the facts. If it does not cure
her, then her infatuation must be
hopeless and she can only learn by
much suffering.
Girls, If YOU must go to town, try
the smaller city near home first. 1t
will not cost you SO much to get
back home if you don't like it, and
you will meet with more human sym
pathy and less trouble and temptation.

Ask the Insurgents.

Chicago Inter Ocean: The press oil
the country is filled with INQUIRIES
and speculations as to the probable
fate of the Canadian reciprocity
agreement. This newspaper has re
Iceived many requests for information
on the subject.
| In answer we call attention to the
1 situation in the. senate, where some
hfteen or twenty insurgents hold the
balance of power.
! With the senate so balanced the
fate of Canadian reciprocity evident
lily depends on the attitude of the in
surgents
| For years Messrs La Toilette,
Cummins and the rest have made tar.
| iff reduction their chief political asset.
They often justify their insurgency
on the ground that the Payne-Aldrich
tariff is not a revision downward.
So, if these gentlemen were truth
Iful. they would be now for the Cana
dian reciprocity agreement. 1t gives
what they have been clamoring for
tariff reduction. But strange to say.
these gentlemen talk as if they would
not be for Canadian reciprocity when
it comes to a vote
So when the question comes down
to is simply this:
If Messrs. Cummins, La Toilette
and the rest of the insurgents shift
their principles-if they demonstrate
that all their anti-tariff clamors
have been simply cries to win with
then the Canadian reciprocity agree
ment will be defeated
If on the other hand, Messrs. La
Toilette, Cummins and the rest have
been sincere in their anti-tariff out
cries-if they stick to their principles
and vote as they have talked for
years on the stump-we shall have
reciprocity with Canada
So, in reply too all inquiries as to
what is going to happen to Canadian
reciprocity, We are obliged to an
swer:
Don't ask us; ask the insurgent
