MINNESOTA CHURCH is
MADE A SOCIAL CENTER

Is it folly to spend $4,000 on a
church building only to have it open
two hours a week? This is the ques-
ton that came to Rev. James Morri-
son Darnell, pastor Of the First Un-
iversalist church of Owatonna, MINI.
His answer is unique, but altogether
proper.
Every week day from now on the
church will be thrown wide open and
the pastor will be in his study in
precisely the same manner that
business man would be at his office.
For the convenience of the church
members, writing materials, good
books, typewriter and other similar
accessories will be furnished.
Rev. Mr.. Darnell has issued an open
invitation in the local papers to all
who are in need of either spiritual
or material assistance. He proposes,
in substance, to maintain sort of
labor bureau for the unemployed and
In his office hours he gives his serv-
ices gratis and willingly.
The church will operate an athletic
club, girls choral society, flower
mission, mems club, boys club, study
club, department Of manual training
and domestic science and women,s
club. Each at these organizations
will have the use of various rooms in
the beautiful church edifice for it's
own particular purposes, and each
may select it's own amusements and
pastimes.
This is surely establishing the right
kind of a social center, and a bounti-
full harvest is predicted for this
church. May others follow the noble
example set by the little church at
OWatonna.

STATE INSURANCE OFFERS
REMEDY FOR PROBLEM

Slowly but surely students of the
problems of employers liability, work.
1ngmen's compensation and industrial
insurance, that is those who are not
welded to any existing institution, are
coming to the view that state insur-
ance affords the only economic and
scientific solution.
For the state to do this would ell
inmate all of the waste that now
obtains; society would be relieved of
the costly method it now tolerates;
employers would be obliged to pay
but little. if any more, than they now
pay. while labor would receive greater
benefits than under any other system.
Under this system Washington has
taken the lead. Ohio has followed,
and now comes California with it's
progressive governor declaring that
state insurance furnishes the only
remedy. Here what he says:
II am about convinced that the
only adequate settlement of the prob
lem of industrial insurance, employ
ers' liability, workmen's compensa-
ton, or whatever you care to term it,
is for the state to take hold of the
insurance feature. This would mean
the creation of a regular bureau of
insurance commissioners. 49,.
Premiums adequate for carrying
the losses of employers, incident to
the partial compensation of injured
or disabled employees, or their, rela-
tiyes for their :. death, would be
charged. In other words, insurance
would be furnished at absolute cost,
profits, as assessed by private insur-
ance concerns at present, eliminated"

AMERICAN TOBACCO CO.'S
STOCK HIGHEST IN HISTORY

The people who are consoled over
the United States supreme courts de-
cisions in the trust cases, and who be-
lieve they see in them the end of
trust rule in America have a hard
time explaining how it is that i'm
mediately after the case against the
Tobacco trust was decided by the
court the common stock of the Amer
lean Tobacco company in time said
to be time of general depression
in business, time in which business
and railroad stocks were at a much
lower figure than they have been in
previous years,-the stock of the To-
bacco company rose to a point the
highest in it's record
Consumers pay the same old price
for tobacco and the trust still does
business at the same old stand, only
with more security because it's legal
standing has been clearly defined.

VOTE FOR THE CHARTER AMENDMENTS

just a parting word the proposed charter
amendments.
There has been little if any opposition to them.
Their only danger lies in the failure of sufficient
number OF citizens to vote on them
vote for mayor and failure to vote on the
amendments is equivalent to a vote against them
The editor of the Labor World has certain
personal pride in all of the amendments AS a.
member of the charter commission we played no
small part in having at least Of them made suf
fciently broad to permit the city to perform more

number would fail to vote on the amendments they

Orleans County monitor. [volume] (Barton, Vt.) 1872-1953, 1912-12-04

A recent population bulletin of the
government showing the detailed COM
position of the people of Vermont is
very interesting. In Orleans county
we find there are 1908 males and
11,284 females. There are only 1O8
negroes in the county. There are
15,442 men of voting age in the
county, a gain of 718 since 1900. There
are 400 illterate males of voting age
or over 5 per cent. This however is
better than 10 years ago when over s
per cent were illiterate. The total
number of persons in the county over
10 years of age is 1900 and of this
number III are illiterate or nearly a
per cent. This is the most vital and
interesting part of the bulletin and the
Monitor is pleased to present it to Its
readers.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an indamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is inflamed you have a
rumbing sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its nor
NAL condition, hearing will be DESTROYED
forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by
Oatarrh, which is nothing but an infiamed
condition of the mucous surfaces.

Big Power Deal in Bellows Falls.
Chace & Hartman, Inc, Of Boston,
owners of the Connecticut River Pow
err Company, have acquired the Bel
lows Falls Canal company and a
majority of stock in the Fall Mountain
Electric Light and Power company,
another Bellows Falls corporation.
The amount involved in the transac-
further offer has been made the minor
ity stockholders in the Fall Mountain
corporation.
Although the new owners contem-
plate no change in the operation of the
Bellows Falls plants at present it is
supposed that the deal is part of an
ambitious scheme to connect them by
transmission lines with the Vernon
power plant and the plant that will
probably be built at Fifteen Mile falls
in The northern part of the state near
Barnet within few years.
The Bellows Falls canal was begun
in 1872 and opened for traffic in 1902,
AMI was built primarily for naviga-
ton. The building of the railroads in
this section did away with this purpose
of the canal and from 1870 it's utiliza-
ton for power became a marked
feature. In 1871 the majority stock
was secured by the late William A.
Russell. whose estate last week deliv
