To celebrate the victories which Ger.

national banquet will be held at Ind
annapolis, Indiana, Jeffersons birthday,
April Is. under the auspices Of the Ma
tional Democratic League of Clubs.
The Official Invitation, which was is

For the purpose Of aiding and
Strengthening the democratic party, at
tracing to it the Independent and the
young voters of the country; offering
a place of refuge for those republicans
who feel that their trust in their par

innate powers OF the states. and of the

Future of Legislation.

The late Governor Altgeld was q
strong advocate of laws to protect and
assist the lsborer. and among the laws
that were passed during his admins
! tration was one establishing state EN-
ployment bureaus. A little over yeat
ago England adopted the plan of es
| tablishing chain of labor exchanges
| to aid working people to find employ
ment The plan was fought by those
who announced themselves as opposed
/ to "paternalism," but the members OF
| parliament were afraid to oppose the
/ plan openly. In an editorial comment
upon this new institution, the Chicago
Record-Herald says:
THE scheme was opposed as pater-
nalistic, but none of the parties in par
! lament ventured TO fight it openly
What has been the result of the first
year of the labor exchanges?
"A report shows that the exchanges
were notified by employers of 100000
vacancies. and that 10000 of them
were filled The number of applicants
for jobs averaged about $4,000 through
the year The exchanges have been OF
particular service to skilled men and
women, and to employers needing
them. The exchanges cooperate with
schools and place the boys and girls
who are forced to earn wages. Trans
portation is provided where the work
man is too poor to pay for it himself,
but subsequently it has to be repaid
out of his wages.
ECvThnoA 10 fornofns nm
ployment They bring supply and de-
mand together better than it could be
brought together without them. They
save time and expense, and Increase
the mobility of labor
England and Germany have taken up
in earnest the question of insurance
against sickness, disability and unem-
ployment. and these questions are alb
sorbing public attention. Here in our
own state we have recently had the law
construed by our supreme court as it
relates to the employment of women
and children. While the decision relat
ing to the 10-hour law for women in
cluded only certain hazardous and ar
duous callings. it laid down the prin-
ciple broadly enough to establish the
doctrine that the police power of the
state extends over all matters relating
to the health and safety of the defense
less members of society Whatever
may be the varying shades of opinion
in regard to the extent TO which such
Legislation is proper and desirable
there is no escaping the conclusion
that the goth century is going to see
some radical changes in legislation re
lating to the police power of the state
and the protection of the working mass
es not only from the oppression of the
powerful, but from their own lack OF
frugality and foresight
The question of industrial insurance
and old age pensions are among the
things that will come to the front and
viii have to be settled and settled
right. What is right is for the future
to determine.

also gives into a condemned mans
own hands the execution of the SEN
tence of the court in case he so
elects, because in the bill the con-
demned is given his choice of three
methods by which the sentence of
the court may be carried into effect.
The punishment of death shall be
inflicted by hanging the defendant by
the neck until he is dead, or by
shooting him, or by allowing him vol
unfairly to take a sufficient quantity
of hydrocyanic acid to produce death.
The Judge at the time of pTonouncing
sentence upon the defendant shall
allow the defendant TO designate
which of the methods of death pro-
vfded for herein shall be administer
ed in execution of his sentence and
notice of such designation shall be
given to the warden Of the state
prison. II the defendant shall elect
voluntarily to take hydrocyanic acid,
then he shall be provided by the ply
stefan, by order of the warden and
in his presence, with a sufficient
quantity of such acid to cause in
slant death.
There is no question that this.
method OF infiicting the death pen
atty is as effective and less painful
than perhaps any other. The deadly
nature of hydrocyanic acid is well
known to the scientific world. In its
concentrated form, when admins
tered in the smallest quantity 1t
causes instant paralysis of the nerve
centers.
The moral effect OF such a law as
this in a day when the trend is away
from capital punishment is another
question.

He had selected the ring last Octo-

help from a relative in the old coun-

wages had gone across the water to
ease the last days of the aged uncle
and finally to furnish decent burial
when the days were numbered.

usual buoyancy, eff it's only a box of
