For Federal Liability Law.

The employers liability and work
mems compensation commission. head
ed by Senator Sutherland Of Utah, has
completed its labors and prepared its
report Senator Sutherland has an
nounced that personally he favors as
sessing the damages for each individ-
ual case of injury to the employer of
the man injured, but others support
plan for a liability fund made up by
employers, which shall be drawn upon
in case of accident. This is sort of
insurance, except that the workmen
themselves do not have to make up the
fund. 1t is believed that the report of
this committee will lead to legislation
on the subject during the present ses-
sion of congress.

old union station and is to be used by
the same railroads-viz, the Pennsyl-

Milwaukee and St Paul. Travellers
who pass through the Windy City have
dared to hope that she would some day
have union station into which all
the roads would run, but this would be
too good to be true. Besides, the afore-
said travellers could not then see so

Despite the fact that the earth is
filled with wars and rumors of wars,
the peace advocates are still busy. On
Dec. 80 the citizens peace banquet
committee performed its allotted func-
lions by holding peace dinner in
New York. Strange as it may seem,
the event came dangerously near to
war with the American Peace society,

we cannot even keep the peace be-

there for the unregenerate?

There We're seventy-seven of these

@HE din of ushering in the new
year being all over and gone,
the various reform resolutions
having been made and some
OF them already broken, the natural
query is, What of 1912? The only
thing we know for sure is that a pres
idential election will be held this year,
maneuvering for which is already go
ing forward One peculiar feature of
the contest is that presidential prima-
ries will be held in several states,
thus giving the voters "a chance to
give their direct preferences for can
didates on both sides. Some of these
primaries come as early as March
Thus the battle may be expected to
continue with ever increasing fierce
