FIGHT FOR AND AGAINST
COMPENSATION LAW z

The report of the committee of
the Chicago Federation of Labor,
appointed to investigate charges
in connection with the passage of
the workmen's compensation law,
made yesterday, exonerated Pres
ident John Fitzpatrick of any
questionable actions in an effort
to defeat the bill.
After the committee handed in
its report, President E. R. Wright
of the state federation, defended
the law, and paved the way for a
muddle Of elimination and re-
elimination, in which several del
egates took part.
President Fitzpatrick led the
attack on compensation, and cited
laws in other states to show how
ineffective it was.
Delegate w. E. Rodriguez

ton with "a middle-of-th e-road

The announcement that the
McNamaras have confessed their
guilt is sickening moral shock
to those who had believed in their
innocence. There is much that
one is etmpted to say, but | have
time now only to point out that
their desperate and cruel crime
was based on an old error, the
fundamental error of thinking
that there are circumstances
which justify force and brutality,
and violence.
All the brutality, all the VIC
lence in civilization are based on
that error, including official bru-
tally and violence, and no cause
can succeed, no people can be
come really great until they learn
that, as Tolstoy says, there are.
no such circumstances.
There is no more good in dyna-
mite than there is-in Pinkerton
bullets, for instance; no more.
good in assassination than there
is in hanging, and no difference
between them; they are all the
same.
1t is another betrayal of the
cause of labor, and labor's enc
mics will take advantage of it, de-
spite the protestations some of
them made at the opening of the.
drama that it involved only the.
guilt or innocence of individuals,
and not the. justice of cause.
In that, of course, they were
correct, although the vast back!

THE ENTERING WEDGE

The interstate commerce commits
sion in partly conceding seaport
rates to Spokane-an inland city
entered the first wedge that will
eventually result in the abolition of
the inequalities in freight rates. We
are coming to the parting of the
ways and the rate determinations
must finally cease.
The following is an extract from
the decision of the interstate COM
merce commission:
Spokane is great distributing
center and aims to be a greater one.
1t demands the right to rates which
will enable it to bring from the east
and distribute into territory lying
east of the Cascade range. Such
traffic, when distributed from Spo-
kane, is hauled a less distance by
400 miles than when distributed brom
Seattle, and the distribution haul it.

traffic over the Cascade mountains
and back again. The interest of the
carrier and the public as much re-
quire that this business should stop
at Spokane instead of going on to
to Seattle as that should originate in
the middle west instead of upon the
Atlantic seaboard.
"The carriers insist that they. may
determine as a matter of policy
whether they will meet this water
competition and in what manner and
at what points; and this is true SO
far as that is matter of policy. To
disinterested observer it would
seem to be in the interest of these
transcontinental lines, which begin
at the Missouri river, to make rates
which would build up interior points
as against the coast. The hauld to
these points is shorter and less ex-
pensive. The distribution from these
point belongs to the rail line which
traffic which is created at such a
point belongs tot he rail line which
creates it, while the traffic which is
fostered upon the coast is the prey OF
every vessel which sails the sea.
Carriers in the future will doubtless
ADOPT this method and will voluntar-
ily make rates to interior points
like Spokane which will enable those
localities to compete with coast
cities

THE INVENTIONS OF LEONARDO


In Thomas A. Edison's account OF
the pilgrimage he is now making
through France, we come upon this
singularly engaging observation:
At Ambrose l made a delightful
discovery, for there l found the tomb
OF Leonardo Da Vinci, whom | con
slider as great an inventive genius as
ever lived; in fact, he left very little
for others to originate. Even the
germ of the modern airship is among
the products of his extraordinary YER
satile mind
Nearly four hundred years have
passed since Leonardo lived, and the
lives of men have been transformed.
outwardly at least, by their widened
knowledge and the use of the secrets
of nature. One invention, or discov-
cry, after another has changed the
manner of commerce and travel and
almost of human existence itself, I'M
til this twentieth century is as diff
ferent as though another race of be-
AAcoo AnO NOlA1O ~ AlAciOII LllS GdIIn.
Yet, the great inventor of this day,
standing before the tomb of a man
who was born in Florence before
America was discovered, declares:
He left very little for others to
originate"
And that is simple truth. There is
something well-nigh miraculous in
the vision of Leonardo Da Vinci, who
OWNED a hundred secrets of the
Renaissance, but among the scientists
of that age was supreme. He COM
posed music and built bridges. He
invented a new musical instrument
and also a number of useful house
hold conveniences He wrote en-
chanting poetry and, delving deeply
into anatomy, rightly conjectured the
circulation of the blood He under
stood the earth's annual motion and
the effect of the moon unon the tides.
The theory of evolution, the science
of hydraulics, schemes for irrigation
and modern methods of farming, all
these he either forshdowed or e.
tablished and, as Mr.. Edison de-
clares, even the embryo of the air
ship was in his wondrously fertile
mind.
1t is a curious fact that so many OF
Leonardo's discoveries and inventions
were left for modern times to perfect
or to bring into actual use. This has
been explained partly on the ground
that his genius was so universal as
not to be centered upon any particu-
lar field of endeavor. He wrote cop
iously on mathematics, mechanics
and natural history, but his manu-
scripts, it is said, were penned with
the left hand and were backhanded
and, besides this, read from right to
left, wherefore they were narrowly
known among contemporary men OF
science
His work and genius nevertheless
remain one of history's marvels.-

A HUNDRED YEARS OF PEACE

A movement is now under way to
celebrate in 1915 the hundredth an
University of unbroken peace among
the English-speaking nations. This
will be distinctive event and gold
en- one in the history of the world.
The victories of war are often COM
memorative, but it is far rarer and
wiser thing to rejoice over the fruit
full triumphs of concord and justice.
The plans for this particular OBJ
servance have already kindled popu-
lar enthuiasm in the British Isles,
Australia, Canada and the United
States, and it is expected that each
of these countries will take an active
part in whatever program is decided
upon. 1t has been proposed that, as
one form of marking the peace cen
tenary, the ancestral estate of the
Washington family in England be
purchased through public subscrip-
tons and converted into an interna-
tional monument. Another SUCCESS
ton is that bridge, free to all
travellers, be built across Niagara
Falls, linking Canada and the United
States. Each of these is an approp-
rite conception, and it would be most
desirable if they could both be carried
into effect.
1t is a practical certainty that by
1915 the pending treaty of unlimited
arbitration between this country and
Great Britain will have become oper-
alive There seems just now to be
some disposition on the part OF the
senate to delay this agreement, but
it undoubtedly has the cordial support
of the great majority of American
citizens and its adoption will follow
as a natural necessity.
In addition to this, the reciprocity
pact between the United States and
Canada will in all likelihood go into
effect in the near future.
And so when the year of celebra-
celebration arrives the English peo-
pie will be bound together in heart
and purpose more strongly than ever
before and the rejoicing of that oc-
casion will be the earnest of perpet-
ual peace among them.-Atlanta Jour-
nal.

MORE INTERNATIONAL FLOW
ERS

Quoting the very elegant Letter Dr.
S. H. Bitch wrote to the Live Oak
Democrat in behalf of the candidacy
of the editor of this paper for
governor the editor of the Gainesville
Sun, adds the following much apA
preciated compliment:
Nothing would please the editor of
The Sun more than the opportunity
to vote for the "Ocala Editor for
governor. He would make Florida an
ideal chief justice to all, high and
low, rich and poor-always giving the
latter the benefit of every doubt when
his interest conflicted with the for
mer.
Frank Harris is one of Gods
noblemen-an honest man-and de-
serves the highest office within the
gift of the people of his state-and
we believe that the office of governor
will be given him if he asks his peo-
pie for it.
I'm this connection we are pleased
to reproduce the following from The
Live Oak Democrat. Most people in
Alachua county know, or know of DIR.
s. H. Bitch, better man than whom
never breathed Gods atmosphere,
and his endorsement of the pro-
proposed candidacy of Mr.. Harris
ought to be sufficient to cause the
people of Florida to demand that he
make the race for governor.

that he ought to do something. ought

Dulid good roads. The constitution
says that one of the objects of this
government is ito promote the gener-
al welfare" In the same document
we find remark about providing
for the common defense" Well, our
dear uncle has spent his billions in
building dreadnaughts, manufacturing
cannon and hiring men to provide
for the common defense" and it looks
like he might loosen up and help to
promote the general welfare" by
spending some millions in aiding the
people to build good roads, the
arteries of commerce through which
the flood of prosperity flows.
Millions are spent by the govern
ment to improve harbors and make
natural highways, rivers, navigable.
Nobody kicks on the expenditure of
money in this manner Everybody
says that it is not wasted, that it is
spent for a good purpose, spent in a
manner that will result in untold
profits to the people. In fact, the
people think so much of money spent
in this way that a congressman who
can swing big appropriations is able
to hold his job for life. If he can't
get in touch with the treasury, cleo
ton day is one of the sadest times
in his life (and it ought to be.)
River and harbor Improvements "pro-
notes the general welfare" but good
roads work is also it's twin brother.
1t is a surprise that the government
has so long failed to realize its duty
in this respect.
There is nothing new in the good
roads talk. There is no need of ex-
Fermentation to demonstrate that
good roads make towns grow and
make people prosperous. The prop

since the Latins crowded the Appian
Way, pouring into Rome to trade and
tarry, but the business principle that
was demonstrated then is good to-

is one reason why Uncle Sam ought
not to waste any more time in help

How they chatter, chatter, chatter

While the stars that overspatter
All the heavens hear their clatter
In a soft and mild delight,
In a sorter, kinder rhyme

From the wild, capricious, saucy,

See the flirting of the girls,

How the softened brain OF lover

Through the mazes of the ball,
Up and down the stately hall,
How he skippeth to and fro
And perspires! -
Would that we could tell the IDIOT all
we know
OF the fires
into which the false one hurls
Each new victim! see the naiiio
how it swirls!
How it curls!
How it curls!
Better far that they were cnurls
Than fall victims to the girls
To the prattle and the rattle
