the right TO appeal to the people from
the standpoint alike Of national and
state achievement. During the last
eighteen months long list of laws
embodying legislation most heartily to
be commended as combining wisdom

Taft.

An ocean liner without sufficient
life boats to take care of the people
on board in case of need, is infinite
ly worse than a skysCraper without
fire escapes. The awful loss OF life
IN the I" Titanic" 4" disaster is hard
even now to realize. That steam
ship company with the long expert
ence that the White Star Line has
enjoyed, should take any chances on
the safety Of its passengers does not
rebound to its credit, but that it
should seemingly take so many risks
would bring the thing close to the
border line OF criminal negligence
1t IS now known that the big liner
was rushing along through a dan
gerous sea that is at this season
much beset by icebergS, at racing
speed. J'he latest sea greyhound
was on her mettle and every eXertion
was being made to clip few hours
from the Atlantic record. No doubt
good will come OF tins terrible acci
dent, in the way that ocean travel
will be more closely saieguarded in
the future, but it is a sad comment
ary on human nature that such a
lesson was needed.

Four years ago it was an easy
guess as to who would be the presi-
dental nominees of both the Repub-
lican and Democratic parties at the
conventions held some two months
later in 1908. Now il is practically
impossible to make any sort of safe
prophecies. President Taft's adher
ents say that he has more than
enough delegates to nominate him
at Chicago. This may or may not
be true, but it is practically certain
that they very much fear that even in
case OF nomination his chances for
election with divided party would
not be at all good. Col. Roosevelt's
chances have frightened very mate
rally in the past ten days, but 1t
hardly seems likely that he can go to
the convention with enough votes to
ensure his success. In fact, dead
lock is quite likely to be the result,
and "dark horse" the nominee
In the Democratic camp things are
almost as uncertain. Woodrow
Wilson seemingly is in the lead, but
he is not the choice of the party
leaders and he comes from COM
paritively small, though doubtful
state. The Champ Clark forces are
working hard and Harmon, OF Ohio,
looms up in the background, AL
together the situation is much more
interesting than usual.

the Importance Of preserving the EN-
ployers from burdensome or unjust liza
billtles. 1t was treated as a personal
matter OF each employee, and the EN-
ployees were put on level Of dealing
which, however 1t may have been I'm
the past, certainly creates injustice TO
the employee under the present condi-
tons"
The attention OF congress to the great
injustice OF the present system was
called by President Taft He mention
cd the fact that often the recovery OF
large sums In damage verdicts did not
result IN actual benefit TO the injured
person on account Of the heavy ex-
penses In litigation. The president ex-
pressed the belief that these burdens
would disappear with the enactment Of
the proposed law, since the counsel fees
are limited TO a reasonable amount.
AS further stated by the president,
"thc great object Of the proposed law
IS to secure justice to the weaker party
under existing modern conditions" He
also declared that he would use his In
flucnce to aid In the enactment Of the
proposed law before the adjournment
OF the present session Of congress.
