TAFT ATTACKED BY GRoNNA
North Dakota Senator Accuses Presi-

Washin gton. - Charging President

lions of executive and legislator, Sen
ator Gronna of North Dakota made a
sensational attack on the reciprocity
bill on the floor of the senate.
During his speech he clashed fire.

IN having the bill framed and try
ing to force 1t through congress" de-
cIared Senator Gronna, 1.-The presi-
dent exceeded his constitutional pow
ers; a decidedly serious violation" he
added, because 1t was in accordance
with pledge given to foreign ma
ton.
1.-THE president has apparently come
to the conclusion that he represents
the people of this country both as
executive and legislator and that the
two houses of congress are merely
two bodies of men provided for by the
Constitution, which he can, unfor-
tunately, not get rid Of, but which
are to be ignored and coerced when
ever he deems it necessary or expedi-
ent."
He denounced the trade agreement
with Canada as cloak to hide the
adoption Of a new economic and in
dustrial policy out of harmony with
Republicanism. a policy which, he
said. the rank and file of the party
would repudiate, and he condemned
the policy of placing food products
and raw materials on the free list and
retaining a protective duty on manu-
features.

uNRUsINEssLIKE BUSINESS.

The New York state employers liza
bility commission has submitted a
carefully prepared report showing a
fearful waste of human life in indus
trial pursuits. Some loss of life Ia
modern industry may be reckoned as
unavoidable, but the far greater pro-
portion Of the loss which is sustained
is the result of unnecessary condi-
tons 1t is the direct result of a lack
of safety appliances and of overwork-
ing employees to the point Of physical
exhaustion. 1t is result Of unjust II
ability laws and legislative negligence,
says the Kansas City Times. If senti-
ment has no place in BUSINESSMAN
untenable proposition in itself-at
least business ought to be business
Ike. 1t is demonstrably not good
business to permit avoidable killing
of industrial workers and then spend
vast sums in caring for families bereft
business, even though the children are
not neglected, with the chances In IA
vor OF their becoming vicious or idle
citizens. Stricter employers liability.
an automatically applied workmen's
compensation for injury or death, and
direct industrial insurance are all in
surance measures. They provide funds
for the support of injured workmen
or of their wives and children. They
also encourage safety provisions. Such
insurance costs would be diffused
among all the people-as taxes and
fire insurance or diffused-by being
added to the cost Of the business.
That diffused cost would be a prac-
teal impalpable burden upon society.

HE'D FEzzES MEET
IMPERIAL COUNCIL OF THE MYS.
TIC SHRINE NOW IN
SESSION.
CONVENTION AT ROCHESTER, MY.
Parade of Mobiles Was Most Spectac.
uIar In History of Order.-Water
Carnival, Concerts and Other
Entertainments.

Rochester, New York. - With the
parade and escort of the official diyan
to Convention Hall in this city the
9th annual session of the Imperial
Council of the Mobiles of the Mystic
Shrine of North America began in
this, the birthplace of the Shrine.
Rochester found itself the host of
the liveliest and biggest bunch of good
fellows that ever has assembled in
any eastern city, and the fun continued
for several days. Every hotel was
filled; dwellings have been pressed
into service; the railroad yards are
filled with special trains of Pullman
coaches; the city parks are made into
camping grounds for the visitors, and
even the suburbs are filled with the
Shriners. Never in the east has there
been convention that will equal this.
Only the Mardi Gras, or the Los An
geles Flower Carnival, can compare
with the scenes of lavish display.
In the first place, the Chamber of
Commerce of Rochester donated $780,
600 for Examinations. The members
of Damascus Shrine have duplicated
this amount. The electrical display
for brilliance and uniqueness has new
er been equalled in this country. For
four months electrical experts have
been busy with the designs.
George A. Leder, the Father of the
Order" was on hand to welcome all
mobiles. Damascus Temple had ar
ranged for week of entertainment
that did not leave a moment of leis-
ure. The entire fleet of the Rochester
Yacht club was at the disposal of the
Shriners and their wives; hundreds Of
automobiles were free to the visitors
and every saddle horse in Rochester
and vicinity had been engaged for the
big parade.

Spectacular Parade of Mobiles.

Monday evening the great pageant
moved. It was most spectacular in
the history of Shrinedom and extended
over line of more than ten miles.
Temples from every state in the Union
and Canada and Mexico participated.
The floats represented outlay of thou
sands of dollars. Scores of the best
bands in the country were in line, to-
gether with "spasm" bands to add to
the merriment.
The Shriners from Los Angeles ap-
peared in the parade on 100 coal black
horses, one of the Texas temples was
mounted on calico bronchos and the
Memphis, Tenn, mobiles had a herd
of camels to carry them over the line
of march. Besides these, other west
ern temples rode astride burros; a
South Dakota temple had black bear
for each member, and mobiles from 9TH
er localities displayed live stock char
acteristic of their country. The ami
mails were presented to the city after
the parade.
The route of the parade was bril-.

business houses on the main streets
of the city were entirely covered with
flags, bunting and electrical devices.
After the parade the mobiles were es-
corted to Bartholomay hall, where a
unique vaudeville program was given.
Tuesday morning the visitors were
given trolley and auto rides to On
tario Beach park, Irondequoit Bay, the
parks, Cobb's Hill Reservoir, Pinnacle
Hills, through residential drives and
boulevards. During the afternoon the
grand drill of the patrols and review
by the Imperial Divan at Genesee Val
