Eject Of General Exemptions.

For example, they have acted upon
the assumption that, words OF general
exemption from liability are not intended,
unless they are very clear, to protect the
owner from liability for his own miscon-
duct or default of that Of his servants.
THE shipping companies advisers have
not lost sight OF such decisions. They in
serted further unambiguous words which
have extended the non-liability of the
company.
1.-The bill Of lading. with its many quail
fications, has often been described as a
document by which the shipownes binds
himself to nothing except to receive
freight, while In the passengers tickets
are inserted conditions the effect Of which
few realize until they seek redress"

GRANDMOTHER
USED SAGE TEA
To Darker the Hair and Re-
store Gray and Faded Hair
to It's Natural Color.

It is easier to preserve the
color of the hair than to restore
it, although it is possible to do
both. Our grandmothers un-
derstood the secret. They made
a sage tea" and their dark,
glossy hair long after middle,
life was due, to this fact :. Our
mothers have gray hairs before
they are fifty, but they are
beginning to appreciate the Wis.
dom of our grandmothers in
using sage tea" for their hair
and are fast following suit.
The present generation has the
advantage of the past in that it
can get q ready-to-use prepare
ton called Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Hair Remedy. As .
scalp tonic and color restorer
this preparation is vastly SUI
perior to the ordinary sage tea"
made by our grandmothers.
The growth and beauty of the
hair depends on q healthy condi-
ton of the scalp. Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Hair Remedy quick
" kills the dandruff germs
which rob the hair of its life,
color and luster, makes the scalp
clean and healthy, gives the hair
strength, color and beauty. and
makes il grow.

RATED BY THE TON
English Shipping Law Relating
to Loss of Life.
APPLIED TO SEA DISASTER
Liabilities Incurred by White Star
Line When Titanic Sank.
COMPANY NAY ASK LIMITATION
Clauses in Tickets Setting Up Elk
emptions In Matter Of Bag
gage Carrying.


LONDON. Tuesday, April 3O.-The
Times in a leading article this morning
discusses the legal liabilities Of the White
Star company in connection with the loss
Of the Titanic. It says:
1T Is possible that the owners Of the
vessel may take proceedings with q view
to obtaining a declaration as to the stat
utory limitation Of their liability.
"At common law q ship owner under
takes to use due care in carrying pas
sengers. His duty is not quite the
same as that which. IL common carrier,
he contracts with respect to the carriage
Of goods, which is substantially to delfv-
er the goods to his customer whatever
happens. Prima facie, q ship owner who
engages to carry passengers luggage does
80 as a common carrier. That IL virtually
as an insurer, though he will not be an
swerable for loss by the fault Of the pas
senger himself.
These Prescriptions are. in practice,
Of little use. Generally there are express
conditions greatly modifying this liability.
Often provisions are inserted which leave
the passenger without redress for the loss
Of luggage, whatever be the cause.
Judgment for Defendant.
THUS in q case tried two or three years
ago in the English courts q lady passen-
ger who sued for the loss Of her luggage
was met with the defense that on her
ticket were printed conditions which de-
prived her Of all remedy.
1.-The Judge, reading the conditions as
showing an intention to shield the COM
pany from liability from any possible
cause. gave judgment for the defendant.
There may be and often is a -ques-
ton as to whether the passenger assented
to the printed terms, but when 1t is once
settled that he assented to the terms he
is bound by them. Though they may be
exceedingly stringent and, indeed, un-
reasonable
1.-The natural tendency Of shipowners
has been to insert In such documents
words excepting them from all sorts of
risks. To some extent the courts have
arrested or retarded this tendency.

The policeman. entering another machine

Distinctions Drawn.

Referring to the distinctions between
a railway company and shipping compa-
MES. the Times says:
so far as the injuries to the passen-
gers are concerned, the liability of the
former may be said to be unlimited, while
In the case Of the latter the liability Is
cut down in respect TO loss Of life or per-
sonal injury to Els $50 q ton, and In
respect to loss or damage to vessels or
goods to E6 Cora ton.
Before the Workingmen's compensation
act was passed. in 1905, there were almost
insuperable difficulties in the way Of sea-
men or their representatives wishing to
rely on negligence In navigation. That
act was made applicable to masters. sea-
men and apprentices, II otherwise work
men within the meaning Of the statute.
1T Is important to note that under the
act Of 1906 ANY sum payable by way of
compensation under this act shall be paid
in full, Notwithstanding section sos Of the
merchant shipping act relative to the
limitation Of the liability.
I'VE have not referred to several other
possible questions: for example, the eff
feet Of provisions in the merchant ship
ping act as to the form Of contract oblig-
atory in the case Of steerage or emigrant
paSSengerS.

If, as the Taft administration Is
declaring. the best interests of the
nation can be served by shutting
down government plants for the
refining of the money metals,
WHY IN THE WORLD DID UN-
Gle SAM EVER GO INTO THE
BUSINESS?
There was very good reason
and one which. by the way, has
not changed in it's Importance
with the passing of years.
The United States government
has been a refiner first of all to
stimulate mining and to protect
the miner. And right here is a
good place to go back-all the way
back.
Primitive people of an lands
and ages long ago learned the val
ium of exchange. Their common
needs and the necessity of trading
them among themselves forced
them to adopt certain articles in
general use as units of value. Ok
en-, measures of grain, tobacco,
furs and other commodities have
all been currency in their day.
Gradually it came about that
Jumps of metal were found more
handy and of less variable value.
These humps gradually developed
into minted coins.
During the middle ages the bar
ons and bishops maintained the
exclusive right of coinage. Min
ers brought their treasure to the
seignior, who extracted his "seign-
forage" or tribute from the miners
for minting their metals. As the
prototypes of the modern shelter
trust, the robber barons extracted
all the profit the traffic would
tolerate, both by extortionate re-
filming rates and by debasing the
currency until insurgents" called
a halt.
Well, Uncle Sam decided early
that he was going to be the "seign-
for" in this country and that he
was going to be fair about It, to
boot Through the efforts of Alex
ander Hamilton, the first U. s.
mint was started in Philadelphia
in 1892. Demands of the West

cries with the result that the cost
of purifying bullion has been re-
duced to a minimum. Modern

Asst. Secy. of the Treasury An
drew suggests.
The smelter trust controls the
refining business in America not
carried on by the government.
With government refineries shut
down, the smelter trust can, at its
will, therefore fix it's own tolls for
refining, and exact them.
The independent miner will
again be at the mercy of the bull
lion buyers.
The trust will be i'm n position
