ually to meet an adverse judgment, l or at the best to find the expense of his suit nearly as much as the amount of the damages awarded to him.
 The present law is a game of chance with the dice all loaded against the plaintiff worker. The theory under which damages is awarded under the present law is unsound, according to the standpoint of present day economics. The the ory of the law is that when a man is entitled to compensation, or his heirs for his life, that compensation should be based upon the value of his life, considered in the light of his earn ing capacity during the expectancy of life. Which statement must be quail flied by the declaration that in dark has been arbitrarily fixed at s5,0o0.
 But workingmen's compensation travels upon an entirely different principle. The social motive behind such law is that the injured work CT, or his dependent family at his death, shall not be socially submerged but shall receive a sum reasonably sufficient to keep their heads above water and eke out respectable ex- istence.
 The cost of the present gambling system, with it's courts and lawyers and litigation is very great.
 The system of compensation will be somewhat more. Probably not. very much more. But the money will go, into the pockets of the indus trial sufferers and will serve a useful social purpose.
 Moreover the charges will not fall upon the employer, but upon the whole body of the public, for the law contemplates an insurance plan and is so drawn as to enable the expense to be estimated and included like other expenses in the cost of the goods.
 In fact the plan is to substitute for a barbarous and unsocial system of compensating workers only occasion ally and at the end of long strug- gle, a humane and certain compensa- tion. to be guaranteed by insurance. the cost of the insurance to be borne by the industry.
 As to details the law is clearly drawn- If it were less complete than it is it would run the risk that some hostile judge would declare it invelid for failure of the legislature to make it's meaning unmistakably clear.'
 While the act is not all that can be desired, it is more than was ex- pected from the source that reported it, and it will be wise to pass it with as little amendment as may be. The bill may be strengthened here after as may be found necessary.

THE INCOME TAX NEARER
(New York Press.)

With the ratification of New York thirty States out of the necessary thirty five have approved the Income Tax. Five more votes are needed, but that these will not be obtained in the present year seems nearly certain. As there is no time limit on ratificatio of a constitutional amendment, the five votes lacking may be obtained next year, or ten years hence, for when the three-fourths vote is complete the amendment goes into effect.
 There is no doubt that the reversal of New York's earlier refusal to rat ify will lead to further favorable ac- tion by States which have thus far withheld their consent to a clause which permits the Federal Govern ment to tax the income from State and municipal securities. But if this power is conferred on Congress even- tually by the States, the strong pro- test against the Income Tax on this ground, as voiced by Governor Hughes should help to dissuade Congress from exercising the right unwisely granted by the pending amendment.

THE SECRET" INQUEST

Coroner Wilson, ignoring public demand and a duty that seems plain yesterday afternoon, suddenly began his inquiry into the wreck of the Fed eral Express, behind closed doors Newspaper men were refused admis- sion to the inquest. It was closed to the public.
 But the inquest apparently was not closed to tho railroad corporation, for it is asserted that one of the high officials of the company not only ac- compsuisd the coroner to the room in which the hearing was to. take place, but was in a position where he might hear the evidence.
 Nothing more is needed in com meaxary.

The Fascination of Personally
Producing Music

80 HOSE who have not experienced the fascination of
~ actually PLAYING musical instrument cannot possibly
" appreciate it 1t is pleasure unlike all Others
~ The Pianola puts this pleasure within the reach
of everyone 1t gives immediate mastery of the piano to its
possessor No matter how little he previously may have
known of music it makes real musician Of him 1t bridges the
years ordinarily spent in learning how to play and ushers him
into the full JOY of playing.
It gives him greater technical skill and an infinitely greater
repertoy than any pianist possesses And shows him how to
this skill and this rpeory that even Padeevsk himself
says of performance with the Panoa "It is perfection
There wonder that in the years just past the
Panoa has become the most popular musical instrument the
world has known.
Nine great factories of them abroad have been erected
supply the and constantly increasing demand for it.
Branches and agencies for its sa have been established in
practically every city of the world Everywhere, during the
past years. people have been buying the Panoa until the
problem Of supplying them has caused Of the most remark
able business growths in all commercial history.

Hon. Judson Harmon, Governor Of
ing, Governor Wilson succeeded in
pulling his reform bills through the
New Jersey legislature
Governor Wilson's legislative
achievements are better known out
side his native state than are Gov
ernor Harmon's, for the reason the
latter has been tied down in Columbus
by long session which ended only
last Wednesday. The New Jersey
lawmakers finished their work two
months ago, and their accomplish
ments have been advertised through
out the United States.
Under the guidance of Governor
Harmon the general assembly enacted
II important bills that the enlighten-
ed citizens had been pleading for in
vain for several decades Governor
Wilson's legislative program, as wide
ly advertised, includes bills.
The Harmon Bills.
The big bills on the Harmon pro-
gram are:
The Oregon plan of nominating and
electing United States senators by

from fund made up by contribu-
tons by employers and employees.

authority to regulate issues of stock,
rates, mergers and service.
A corrupt practices act that will
make vote buying in primaries and
elections a dangerous undertaking.
A limited initiative and referendum
for Ohio cities.
A central board Of control for 10
state institutions to take the place
of 10 separate boards of trustees
with their corps of employees. This
oil places subordinate employees in
the institutions under civil service.
A shorter ballot by abolshing boards
CT intirmary directors of three men,
hers each, in every county of the
state and turning their duties over to
II
large saving. A reform of Ohio cleo

tration to prevent floaters voting.
To have delegates to the 1912 Ohio

by petition only and elected on non
partisan ballots.
A nine hour work day for employed
women.
A back-to-the-farm movement by re-
curing agriculture to be taught in
all Ohio village and country schools.
Ratification of the proposed income
tax amendment to the federal consti-
tuition.
Memoralzing congress to call a
convention to provide for the direct
election of United States senators.
lnsuring the honest handling of all

Patriotic Picture AZ EIite.


The Elite Theatre is observing the
Glorious Fourth" today by showing a
splendid patriotic picture an Imp
entitled, 1.-THE Fortunes of War" It is
a splendid war picture with great bat
tie scenes that recall the famous
Dixie" the great picture shown at the
Elite with phenomenal success some
time ago.
Another good picture shown today is
Thanhouser comedy, entitled. Foxy
Grandma" which is sure to please
everybody. The Morning Telegraph
spoke of this picture as the most de-
lghtful picture Of all manufa ctured by
the licensed companies as well as the
independents. According to the paper
mentioned the plot is quite unique
while the acting Of Grandma is per-
lection itself. And still another comedy
Will help you to drive all cares away.
1t will remind you OF the battle fought
just year ago by Jim Jeffries and
Jack Johnson, only 1t shows a different
result, quite different to be sure.
In honor OF the day the Elite orches-
ira will play a medley Of patriotic airs

JOY RIDING HAS FOUND
ITS WAY INTO AVIATION
BY Associated Press.


Washington, July 3.-Joy riding has
found its way into aviation. A smashed
machine at College Park, near here,
testifles to the same spirit in those
connected in a working capacity with
flying machines that so long has sig
nalized attaches of automobiles.
On the conclusion of several highly
successful demonstrations and when
those in authority had left the grounds,
a young mechanic employed by Rex
Smith, a local aviator, hauled Smiths
machine from his hangar yesterday.
Watch me show up them soldiers, .
the mechanic is quoted as having re-
marked. Apparently he had not been
abashed by rather notable perform
ances of the officers of the army who
are practicing aviation at the field.
The Joy ride started. He had barely
left the ground when his inexperience
brought the machine crashing to earth.
He emerged from the wreckage slightly
scratched. 1t is said his employer has
not seen him since.
