square deal and had violated solemn
promise to the American people not
to be candidate for a third term.
THAT promise and his treatment of
it," says Mr. Taft, only throws an
informing light on the value that
ought now to be attached to any prom.
Use Of this kind he may make for the
future"

Washington. - Every six minutes,
day and night. a railroad employs is
killed or injured, and every two hours
one is killed. This was the calcula-
tion made by Senator Chamberlain OF
Oregon in addressing the Senate in
behalf of the new employers liability
bill. "These figures are appalling"
he said. "It is not to be wondered that
there has been loud and persistent
demand on the part Of the employees
engaged in all forms Of hazardous en-
ployment for change in the doc
trines which have practically cast the
burdens of Industrial accidents upon
the employees and their families, who
are least able to bear them. The trend
of opinion is toward policy that will
make every business bear the burden
Of industrial accidents where human
agencies are involved, Just as 1t has
always done to the inanimate instru.
mentalities."
