manufacturers as the premiums paid to liability

the employers bear ninety per cent. of the as

employers are directed TO take the ten per cent.

Editorial Opinion
WHAT is A BUSINESS MANI
pringfeld Republican.

Springfield Republican.
Thirty-five Chicago business men
sat down to luncheon at the Midday
club the other day to organize in de-
fense of property rights and against
socialistic doctrines. The chairman,
Alfred II. Mulliksn, explained why he
deemed business mems movement
specially necessary just now, and then
went on TO make this definition: by
business man is meant a man Of any
occupation who works to make money
whose word is good, and who stands
we'll in the community" Mr.. Mulliksn
is business man and not a lexico-
erapher; he is excusable IL his defini-
tion is not so Illuminating that one
could guess from it what word was
being deined-a test which the die
tionaries do not invariably meet.
But if a business mems movement in
politics is to be set on foot, some
what closer definition may be needed.
ANY" occupation is perhaps too broad
and should be followed by a limiting
word. Is baseball player business
man? Is an actor? Is a bricklayer? Is
writer of novels? Is a corporation
lawyer? Most men work to make
money, and get it in varying amounts.
Nor does what follows constitute suf-
ficient limitation. II cannot be said
that business men, in the general
understanding Of the term. have a mo-
nopoly of keeping their word or of
standing we'll in the community" A
party composed OF people Of this sort
might be slightly smaller than one
made up Of all those who work to
make money" but It would not be a
business mems party It might, for
all anybody could tell, be captured by
the socialists, when the business men
would have to begin all over again,
For everyday purposes everyone
knows what a business man is. He be-
longs to the board of trade. He reads
the financial page of the newspaper.
He eats the business mems luncheon"
which restaurants have undertaken TO
supply with an evident appreciation Of
the solemn Importance Of the business
mans digestion. It is not difficult, in
sthe concrete case. to identify the bus
mess man. II is not question of be-
ing an employer or an employe-msny
good business men, specially in these
days Of big corporations, are working
on salary. But does a clerk become
a business man when he mounts his
high stool? No more than he becomes
a banker or a writer Of mathemati-
clan. This vagueness of reference is
for many purposes highly useful. The
word has been seized upon with avidits
by foreigners. taken over bodily into
French and Italian, perhaps into other
languages. But abroad the term has
lost this agreeable vagueness The
businessman there is the "affarsta,
the manager of enterprises, the Nor
gan, the Rockefeller. the Carnegie. II
that sense II cannot be said that WI
lack or need a business mems move
ment in politics. In what sense can i
be said that there is such lack oi
such a need?. A committee on defni
tion would seem to be one of the frs
requirements Of the new organization

MIR. BURcHENAL'S REPLY.

NNR. CALEB E. BURCHENAL, who has been
III active in most Of the forward movements in
this city takes issue with Deputy Attorney General
Wolcott with regard to the election of United
States Senators.
Mr.. Burchenal speaks for the liberal element
among the Democrats Of the state, an element
which, however, so far has made but little pro-
gress in forcing its views upon the party as rep
resented in the state conventions 1t may be that
their work will show more plainly and effectively
in future conventions than it has shown in the
past.
Mr. Buchenal declares that if the RePubli-
cans are in majority in this state they should
have the Senator. He believes that under the pres
ent method it is possible to elect United States
Senator contrary to the will of majority. And
this possibility seems to be of the reasons why
Mr. wolcott is opposed to a change in the method
The possibility can be realized when it is con-
sidered that a representative from Blackbird
Hundred in the Legislature, district with small
population has as loud voice in the election OF
Senator as has a representative from the Third
district in Wilmington with its very large voting
population

Those who assert that the women
do not use discrimination in voting
will have 10 explain the results of the
recent municipal election in Seattle.
In it a reform mayor was chosen, but
his principal reform was voted down.
Both results are attributed directly
To women.
Cutterill. who defeated Gill. is a
single tax advocate. The admins
tration had made itself unpopular
and Cotterill was selected to make
the demanded change.
But that the women did not vote
bindly for all the things Cotterill
advocated was shown plainly by the
defeat of the single tax charter.
From all appearances they showed
as much thought and discrimination
as the men.

4 FLOATING CITY.

Even the term floating hotel as
applied to ocean liners has al
ready been outlived. Floating city"
would now be much more apprOpri-
ate. The mania for size in ocean
steamships has apparently at last
reached its limit. But it can be
safely said that this will not be so
long. If progress continues at the
present rate. even floating city" will
soon become beggarly in its descrip-
tion.

could sail through one of them

1000 passengers. The equipment
and appointments will rival the fin
est hotels.
Ships are becoming more and more

The New Books
"The Civilization of China"

Very timely was the recent publi-
cation of THE Civilization of China
by HA Giles. professor of Chinese in
the University of Cambridge. A great
change in Chinese history has just ia
ken place In the book Mr.. Giles
gives compact and graphic accounts
OF the early Chinese empire, its GUS
toms. laws, government. religion and
superstitiOns, and its relations with
foreign powers.
He points out that "a system of
government with the definite estab-
lishment of monarchy" beginning
two hundred years before the
Christian era has remained to the
present time. Respecting official cor
, ruptiOn, Mr.. Giles says that petty
officers did not receive salaries un-
der the Manchu ruler, but were al
lowed to collect taxes from the peO-
lple. keeping part for themselves and
handing up the remainder to super
iOr officer. who, keeping part, hand
ed the balance to the next higher
officer. and SO on. However, there is
no chance for such graft under the
republic
In the opinion of Mr.. Giles. Chi
neSe women are as tender to their
children as their American or Euro
pean sisters. The Chinese woman is
usually known as the Gentle One, y
while the man is called Severe One
In regard to female infanticide. Pro-
fessOr Giles says it was not known
! in his own district. nor had other for.
cign residents found traces of infan-
ticide in their neighbOrhoOds.
Mr. Giles believes Chinese people
truly stand for peace and hate war

There is no such thing as a right

some wars are better than others.

FILTH AND HEALTH

Tuberculosis killed fOrty-nine res
idcnts of Boone County in 1911, ac-
cording to the report of the State
Board of Health. This was the larg-
est number killed by any one cause.
No more conclusive evidence could
be asked that the campaign against
this disease is not at an end. There
is much vet to be done in the way
of sanitation, better standards of liv-
ing and greater care of health in
general
The Committee on the Prevention
OF Tuberculosis is doing a good work.
II deserves the help and active sup
port of all. A material reduction in
the ratio of deaths due to tuberculO-
sis will come about as a result of its
activities
But there is much work which can
not rightfully be imposed on the COM
mittee One such work is the i'm
provement of the general sanitary
conditions. which must be done by
the community as whole. Such di'
scaseS as tuberculosis are carried by
filth, the kind of filth one finds sc
prevalent on the streets and side
walks of Columbia.
The question of appearance is not
the only one involved in dirty streets
The health conditions of the city are
ate stake-and Columbia will ye
suffer from her negligence.
