able student of economies; a gifted writ
or Of national reputation. and as staff
correspondent Of the Dallas News he has
illuminated many important subjects of
state.
Mr.. Finty's report condemns the pres
ent method of fixing responsibility for
work accidents as working q hardship
to both employers and employe. and he
very clearly lays down a much more
lowing language:
1T is economically and socially I'M
sound to require wOrkmcn to assume the
risks and to hold employers responsible
only in the case of their own proven
negligence. for the nature of modern III
d~ustries is such that accidents are in
evitable; that the seeming negligence Of
employees oftimes is not negligence at all.
and that as accidents are incidental to
the Industries. the industries them
selves, and not the employees. should
bear the burdens resulting therefrOm.
In the end society must bear the burden
of compensation of work accidents. and
such compensation ought to be reduced
to IA definite system and considered in
the light of a pension. just as the gov
Icrnmcnt pensions its disabled soldiers.
The commission recommends to the
Bird legislature the enactment OF a com
prehensive workmal's compensation law
modelled after successful legislation of
other states and counties. fully set forth
in the text Of the report.

CIVILIZATIONS OPPORTUNITY.

1t may be that the stories of Turkish
cruelties to the Christian populations
in the countries from which the Turks
have lately been driven. are TO some ex-
tent exaggerated. The probabilities are.
however, that they are not much eXag-
geratcd. if at all. 1t il easier, i'll fact, to
believe them, than il is to doubt them. for
hardly a year has passed in at least Il
quarter of a century in which the stories
told by the Servians and Bulgarians
have not been duplicated in some parts
of the Turkish Empire in all the hor-
rible details which have appeared in the
within the last few days.
Revenge is not Il Christian virtue. but
humanity is. and humanity requires that
the power of Turkey. or any other nation
capable of such Outrtees. should De- cur

should be made to drink the last bitter

bring pressure to bear upon their "
governments to persuade them to allow
the Balkan allies to have their way with
Turkey. Above all other things they
should not interfere with the taking of
Constantinople. The Sultan should he
permitted to see his capital in the hands
of his enemies. 1t will be good for him
and his advisers. No one wants to preach
a religious crusade against the Turk. but
