THE ASSUMED RISK

The workmen's compensation bill as reported by the majority of the Judiciary committee includes re- peal of the doctrine of assumed risk. It is said that a minority of the com mittee will try to impair the act by amendment so that the workman will continue to assume the risks of his occupation.
 No deadlier blow could be aimed at this legislation, short of nullifying It entirely. More than half of all ac- cidents fall within the category of assumed risk. That is, workmen are injured through accidents which are unavoidable, and incidental to the particular industry. more freuuently than by accidents which arise through negligence, whether by fellow ser wants or employers.
 oTo leave the doctrine of assumed risk defense available to employ ployers, where industrial accidents are concerned. is to throw more than half of all cases into court, and to take from more than half of the in- jured, or the dependents of the dead. the right of recovery.

If the people under stood the science of governme snss would soon cali to a reckoning those who misrepresent them at Washing ton and have this reform without any further delay
 Why shouldn't the people of the limited States use this God-given right to transmit thought by l1ghtn1ng at a mere nominal cost?N Why should all inc civilized governments of the earth have their own postal telegraph sys- tenn and why should the United States of America stand with fuca- tan and Honduras without a govern mental telegraph.

 What this country immediately needs is the right of the cheapest and promptest exchange of 1deas and that exchange should be by the use of electricity. It was stated by Professor Parsons of Boston that We could install the telegraph in every postoffice in America at a cost of fifty millions of dollars. Wouldn't 1t be wise and possible to save this from a single years appropriation now made to maintain naval and military sys- tenn to govern people agalnst tneir will lin the Philippine Islands?
 I believe that every Democrat, north and south, is in favor of having the postal service improved by the use of the telegraph and I believe sub stantially every voter in the Repub- lican party could be educated to the support of our ticket in 1912, if we declared with emphasis that this ore reform would he given the people in return for the billion one hun dred million dollars of taxes col lected annually from them for the support of the Federal Governm ent. with the telegraph installed and the immediate and inexpensive transmits sion of ideas and facts to every cross roads postoffice in the United States. it would be but short time until the same Democracy that had de- stroyed the telegraph trust would fol- low up this work with such prompt and effective education of the people that other measures would be written upon the statute books to eliminate and eradicate every trust now fatten- ing upon the marrow of the people.

VOTING FOR THE MEASURE

Slowly the mechanisms of Demo- cracy are being perfected, more slow Nv perhaps in Connecticut than in most other States, because here, the combination of lobbyists and politi- clans with owners of privilige has not been broken, only shattered little at the edges.
 When the smoke of the present Leg islature has cleared away it will be perceived that ranking with the most important legislation are the bills for Initiative and referendum offered by Senator McNeil, who upon this mat ter. has a consistent and straightfor- ward record of advocacy.
 Senator McNeil seeks the passage of two referendum bills, one provides for a mandatory decision by the peo- ole. which requires a change in the constitution.
 The other provides for the advisory referendum and initiative, which may be made operative by simple legis- lative act
 But the decision of the people will not be in a legal sense obligatory upon the legislators. It will ,apprise them of the mind of the people.
 The effect of such a decision, how ever. has been in most cases, equiva- lent to . mandate.

THE nooHS-HERRiLL co

Mad" Dan Maitland. on reaching his
New York bachelor club, met an attrac-
tive young woman at the door. Janitor
O'Hagan assured him no one had been
within that day. Dan discovered wom-
ans finger prints in dust on his desk,
along with letter from his attorney.
Maitland dined with Bannerman, his at
torney. Dan set out for Greenfields, to
get his family jewels. Maitland, on
reaching home, surprised lady In gray.
cracking the safe containing his gems.
She, apparently, took him for we'll
known crook, Daniel Anisty. Half-hyp-
Noticed, Maitland opened his safe, took
therefrom the Jewels, and gave them to
her, first forming a partnership in crime.
The real Dan Anisty, sought by police Of
the world, appeared. Maitland overcame
him. He and the girl went to New York
in her auto. He had the jewels. She
was to meet him that day. A "Mr.
Snaith" introduced himself as a detec-
tive. To shield the girl in gray Maitland,
about to show him the Jewels, supposedly
lost. was felled by blow from "Snaith's"
cane. The latter proved to be Anisty
himself and he secured the gems. Anisty
who was Maitland's double, masqueraded
as the latter. The criminal kept Matt
lands engagement with the girl in gray
He gave her the gems. The girl in gray
visited Maitland's apartments during HIS
absence and returned gems. Maitland
without cash, called up his home and
heard a woman's voice expostulating

her side. lie took her to Attorney Ban
nerman's office. There, by torture, he
tried In vain to wiring from her the loca-
ton of the gems. He left her a moment
and she 'phoned O'Hagan, only getting in
the words: Tell Mr.. Maitland under the
brass bowl" the hiding place in the lat
ter's rooms, when Anisty heard her

a crook. He and Anisty set out to secure
the gems and leave town. The girl was
still imprisoned. Maitland finding the girl

hind forced Maitland pell-mell into the
room. AS he recovered he saw Hickey
hurting himself at the criminals throat
One second too late. True to his
pledge never to be taken alive, Anisty
had sent his last bullet crashing
through his own skull
A cry of horror and CONSERVATION
forced itself from Maitland's throat.
The police halted, each where he
stood. transfxed. Anisty drew him
self up, with trace of pride in his
pose; smiled horribly; put a hand
mechanically to his lips
And died.
Hickey caught him as he fell, but
Maitland, unheeding. leaped over the
body that had in life resembled him
so fatally, and entered Bannerman's
private Office.
The gray girl lay at length in a
corner of the room, shielded from OBJ
servation by one of the desks. Her
eyes were closed, her cheeks wore the
hue of death; the fair young head was
pillowed on one white and rounded
forearm, in an attitude of natural rest,
and the FURNISHED hair, its heavy coils
slipping from their fastenings, tum-
bled over her head and shoulders in
shimmering glory, like a splash of liv-
ing flame.
With low and bitter cry the young
men dropped to his knees by her side
In the outer Office the police were as
sembled in excited conclave, blind to
all save the momentous fact of
Anisty's last. supremely consistent act
For the time Maitland was utterly
alone with his great and aching lone
Illness.
After a little while timidly he
touched her hand. It lay upturned
white slender fingers like exotic petals
curling in upon the rosy hollow of her
palm. And it was soft and warm.
He lifted it tenderly in both his
own, and so held it for a space, brood
Ing, marveling at its perfection. And
inevitably he bent and touched it with
his lips, as II their ardent contact
would warm it to sentence.
The fingers frightened upon his own,
slowly. surely; and in the binding joy
of that moment he was made con-
scious of the ineffable sweetness of
opening, wondering eyes.

HIN, hrumm!" Thus Hickey, the
inopportunely ubiquitous, numbering
hastily in from the other office and
checking, in an extreme of embarrass-
ment, in the middle of the floor.
Maitland glanced over his shoulder,
and. subduing a desire to fay the
man alive, released the girls hand.
Il say, Hickey" he observed, care
fully suppressing every vestige of
emotion, will you lend me a hand
here? Bring a chair, please, and a
glass of water"
The detective stumbled over his
feet and brought the chair at the risk
Of his neck. Then he went away and
returned with the water In the
meantime the girl. silently enough for
all that her eyes were speaking, with
Maitland's assistance arose and seated
herself.

minutes" he told her. "until-er-"

that Anisty should have chosen it for
the scene of his last stand-strange,
and strangely fatal for the criminall
For Maitland knew that from this
eyrie there was no means of escape,
other than by the stairs.
Well and goodl Then they had the

The thought was flashing in his
mind, illumining the darkness of his
despair with the hope that he would

the knob with frantic fingers that
slipped upon its immovable polished
surface.
The bolt had been shot, he was
barred out, and with only the width of
mans hand between them, the girl
was in deathly peril and terror.
A sob that was at the same time an
oath rose to his lips. Bafled, helpless,
he fell back, tears of rage starting to
his eyes, her accents ringing In his
ears as terribly pitiful as the cry of a
lost and wandering soul.

and in desperation sent the pistol-butt

over his shoulder to aid him.
And with startling abruptness the
barrier seemed to dissolve before their
eyes, the glass falling inward with
a shrill clatter.
Quantity, with the effect of a pic
ture cast by cinematograph in a
darkened auditorium, there leaped
upon Maitland's field of vision the pic
ture Of Anisty standing at bay, face
drawn and tense, lips curled back,
eyes lurid with defiance and despair.
He stood, poised upon the balls of
his feet, like a cat ready to spring,

an indescribably swift and vicious
gesture, and a flame seemed to blaze
out from his finger-tips.
At the same instant Hickey's weapon
spat by Maitland's cheek; the young
man felt the hot furnace breath Of It.
The burglar reeled as though from
a tremendous blow His infamed fea-
lures were suddenly whitened, and his
right arm dropped Imply from the
shoulder, revolver falling from fingers

Anisty had gone to his knees, reach

The detectives second bullet winged
through the doorway, over Anisty's
head, and bit through the outer win

"Th-thank you," whispered the small
voice shal1ily.
Maitland hesitated a moment, then
turned upon Hickey in sudden exas-
peration. His manner was enough;
even the obtuse detective could not
ignore it. Maitland had no need to
speak.

more of respect in his manner than
had heretofore characterized it, but

Hickey took an impassive face to

'snoulders. Maitland bent again over
the girl, and took her hand.
Dearest" he said, gently, please

Her eyes were trimming, and he
read his answer in them. Quickly-it
was no time to harry her emotions
further; but so much he had felt he
must say-he brushed her hand with
his lips and joined Hickey. Thrust.
