CALL 1T THE OKLAHOMA wo-
MANS COLLEGE,

In the meantime there is another
matter that deserves the serious con
sideration OF the house.
We refer to the r.me Of our state
school
The Oklahoma IEa-ssrial Institute
and College for Girls"
That's the official name OF It and
you win have to admit that 1t is a plen-
ty.
The institution had many handicaps
to contend with at the beginning OF its
career and in our opinion not the
least Of these was the ponderous, mis-
leading name that was inflicted upon
it,
The matter o. relieving the school OF
this unwieldy burden BY re-christeD-
ing it has been broached at various
times but ii has never been approach
ed with any degree Of earnestness.
Now that the institution has about
overcome the other difficulties Incl
dent to its period Of infancy. we be-
iieve il opportune to take up the mat
ter Of removing this obstacle from its
pathway.
In the first place the name is en-
tirely too long: you have to take two
or three breaths to utter it. The alb
breviation Il I. & G." is open to the
objection that it is without signifi-
canee to a stranger and we even ques-
tion whether one person out OF ten in
chiekasha knows what it means.
But the moste serious objection
grows out Of the word industrial" in
connection with the name. It is freely
admitted that the word is exceedingly
appropriate. conveying as it does
correct idea as to one part or the work
OF the school. but the trouble is that
in fully one half Of the states in the
union the term industrial school" al

tuition. a school for incorrigibles. Now

state. It is readily seen that the name
that has been given 10 the school gives (
q large part Of our population an en-
tirely erroneous idea as TO its nature:
it has already Disseminated an i'm
preston which is a great detriment to
the institution.
Our choice OF a name for the school
is ~oklahoma state woman's Col

wsCoNsIN's COMPENSATION LAW.

VATISCONSlN, state noted for advanced leg
w islation so-called, has adopted novel work.
mems compensation law. committee Of the
Legislature which investigated the matter discov-
cred that during the many years gone by when
employers of the state paid damages after suit
in court for the death of a workman, the heirs
received only $3.50 out Of every $500 so paid The
lawyers and the court costs consumed the other
S640
This discovery caused much surprise among the
employers as we'll as the workmen and as the
result compensation act was passed. Under it
there are three industrial commissioners, one Of
whom is big corporation attorney the second
is the State Commissioner Of Labor who is sup
posed to look after labor's interest and tie third
is Professor John r. Commons the edpolitica
economist who is presumed to view compensation
acts and their administration fromfa scientific
standpoint
II will thus be noticed how NICELY this commits
sion is balanced as compared with commissions as
appointed in Delaware many Of which are like
the handle Of Jug all on one side
The new Wisconsin law is unique in that it is
optional for the employer He may if he chooses
stand on his legal rights and in case Of an accident
to an employe defend a suit for damages The
employer who wishes to come under the law and
pay the rates charged must make such an an
nouncement to the commission The largest cor
porations OF the state taking advantage of the
law among the first to do so being the Northwest
ern and St Paul Railroads
The Wisconsin workmens compensation act de-
stf0ys the doctrine Of assumption of risk and the
fellow servant idea. Under the Wisconsin act the
employer must provide medical and surgical treat
ment for 90 days.. 1t also provides where there
is total disability For the payment of 65 per cent
of the average weekly earnings during the period
of such total disability. But no wages less than
S375 per year shall be considered nor more than
$3.50
If an employe is killed instantly in an accident
his dependents receive sum equal to four times
his annual wages, but not less than Sl500 nor
more than S3,000 If there are no dependents the
death benefit is simply reasonable expenses of
burial, not exceeding $780,
Following the German law, the Wisconsin act
provides for workmen who are particularly inca
pacitated, but who are still able to earn something
These employees are given 65 per cent. of the diff
ference between former and present earnings. This
is limited to Is years.

Commencement.

Newark Post.
Now that commencement is over.
Newark can better see Just what
kind Of town she is. The presence
Of the students certainly adds a
pleasant air to the activities of the
town. There is at times some critic
ism of the student body and their
fun is called too exciting. but they
are missed and all are glad to see
them return. The conduct of the stu
dents on the whole can he commend
ed. Few college towns can boast Of
quiet manners Of the students as re-
ceived by Newark. There has been
marked improvement in recent years.
The boys have heen taught to respect
property and the rights Of others and
the effect of this teaching has been
felt in no small degree by the towns
men. Our people are renewing an
appreciation Of the college in our
midst, realizing the benefits derived
and the publicity It gives to us
throughout the State We are in be.-
ter position to lend a moral support
to the Institution than neighboring
communities, and can do much toward
its advancement.
When the boys return. let us show
them that we are glad-and welcome

Who Will Say Them Nay?
BY John S. Hamilton.

Former Secretary OF the Treasury
Leslie NJ. Shaw in an address deliv-
cred before the students and faculty
Of Wesleyan University some time
ago said that one of the most difficult
tasks that the Creator in His wisdom
had given to man was that of self
government The writer AZ the time
thought that the speaker might have
gone a great deal farther and been
very much nearer the truth If he had
said that the only task that the
Creator IN His wisdom had given to
man was that Of self government.
Two points made at the High School
during the city charter debate last
week reminded the writer very forci-
bly, Of the saying OF Mr. Shaw and
also Of the thoughts and ideas il sug-
gested at the time il was published IN
the newspapers.
One of these points was that we
now had a charter which had been
passed upon several hundred times
by the courts and therefore we had

hcieut reason Of itself why there
