RACK TO DISPLAY
PAPER FOR WALL
John R. Mahoney Invents Device
Which Will Be of Conve-
nience to Dealers.

John R. Mahoney. Of se4 Pennsylvania
Avenue Southeast. has invented a wall
paper display rack which. it is claimed.
will be of great convenience and value
to dealers in wall paper.
The display rack has wings. which may
be to a number Of 100 or 800. or even
more, by which various samples Of WALL
paper can be shown. each wing support
ing a pattern. This method Of demon
stration. the inventor claims. will save
time for both salesman and prospective
purchaser. and also will afford to the
examiner Of the goods better idea Of
what appearance the material will have
when in actual use.
The mechanical construction OF the de-
vice is simple, though Mr.. Mahoney has
devoted much study to making the ap-
paratus durable and light. The wings
on which the samples are placed are
swung pivotally about a vertical standard
and can be moved, at the convenience
of the operator. so that a whole Series
of patterns can be demonstrated without
difficulty.
Mr.. Mahoney said last night that his
long experience in the wall paper trade
had led him to make the invention. He
has not yet determined, he said. whether
he win sell the patent on his inven-
tion or organize a company to manu-
facture and sell the products Of his in
genuity.
Mr.. Mahoney claims the distinction of
being the oldest wall paper dealer in
having been in the business
here for forty-seven years.
He is a member Of the Oldest In
habitants' Association and is among the
best known residents Of the District.

Secretary Heap. OF the Washington
Humane Society. has presented to the
Commissioners the proposition Of erect
ing cab shelter in front OF Union Sta
tion for the purpose OF protecting the

would have to be borne by the society

The building would have to meet with
the approval Of the Fine Arts Commits
sion. and II would be necessary to get
the permission OF Congress to erect the
structure because OF the site being on
government property.

a Word to Contributors

We received a communication
last week for publication signed by
"a Citizen" but had nothing about
it by which the editor could tell who
was the writer. While the communi-
cation is one that might be very
properly published no newspaper IF
good standing will publish any ar
ticle unless the editor knows who
the writer is. His name is not made
public unless he desires it but it
must be given to the editor before
any article is printed. Allow us to
request all contributors Of letters
relating to public matters to bring
their communication to the Office on
or before Saturday preceding publ
cation day. The Caledonian gives
town and local news the preference
on Mondays and Tuesdays of each
week and is handling such a large
amount of this matter that it cannot
put communications in type on
those days. we are glad to publish

1t is evident the demOcratic party

1t is evident the democratic party
intends to give the country tariff
revision as soon as possible, Pres
Elect Wilson having announced that
he will call a special session of con-
gress for that purpose before the
middle of April. Col. George Har-
vey, editor of Harper's Weekly, one
of the best advisers the democratic
party has had in the past decade,
endorses Speaker Clark's declar-
alton that the revision should
touch every schedule in the law
and says:-''From the moral point
of view, the commitment of the
democratic party is complete and un-
equivocal. 1t has promised that
just as soon as the people give it
the power it will begin to relieve
them of the burdens of unjust and
Unnecessary tariff taxation" 1t
does seem to be the only consistent
step for the party to take and the
earlier the changes are made the
more thoroughly can they be tested
before another appeal is made to
the people. We cannot expect the
beneficial results the democrats do
but shall be glad to have the tariff
business must adjust itself to de-
hnitely prescribed at the earliest pos
sible date.

the deer have learned the danger of

slaughter as there was during the

state. We would not counsel great
er strictness in the law but persist
ent education in respect for the laws
we have.
Time for a ''SnufHing''
Mr.. Martin Of Bennington has in
troduced bill in the legislature re-
lating to payments to employees for
personal injuries received in the
course Of their employment, and to
prevention of such injuries. 1t
provides that in an action to recover
damages for personal injury 4.
not be a defense that the emIloye
was negligent, that the injury was
caused by negligence of a fellow en-
ploye or that the employe assumed
the risk of injury but these pro-
visions of the act are not to apply
to domestic servants or farm labor
ers. Who does Mr.. Martin represent
in such a proposition as this, his
ambition to do something that will
capture the labor vote or demand
of labor itself. If labor has come
to point where it demands that an
employer is to be held responsible
for laborer's own carelessness or
the unnecessary carelessness of
fellow employe it is time labor was
taught such demands are unreason-
able. If on the other hand labor has
not asked for such one-sided Iegisla-
ton and Mr.. Martin has introduced
this bill in the effort to secure labor
votes in some future election the
measure should be killed so sudden
ly that Mr.. Martin will realize that
fair play is a stronger vote getter
than an attempt to legalize robbery.
The unfairness of the bill is
shown in the provision that it shall
not apply to farm laborers. This
provision is made because the
sponsors of the bill know they new
er could get the consent of the farm
ers in the legislature to pass bill
that would compel them to pay a
hired man who had got intoxicated
on hard cider and fallen down trap
door in the barn full damages for
the injuries he received. Nor would
he consent to being held financially
responsible if one hired man care
lessly left the trap door open, con-
trary to orders and a sober hired
man fell through it while moving
about in the dark. We do not believe
he will hold his fellow citizen who
happens to hire men to manufacture
goods to such an unfair proposition.
While it would be fair and reason
able to compel an employer to pay
higher wages in specially hazard
GUS work and to compensate for in
juries that were unavoidable and a
part of the results of the hazard
of the particular line of employment,
whether it is in a factory, on a
farm or in the kitchen, we cannot
support such an unreasonable and
manifestly unjust proposition as
Mr.. Martin has called for in his
bill. 1t is time for the Vermont leg
islature to give a good snuffing to
legislative light who seek to rob one
class of citizens in the hope of Sc
curing the votes of a more numer-
GUS class of voters.
