STATE INSURANCE. ENDORSED.

Organized labor has gone the several legislatures
and compromised with employers associations work
ingmens compensation acts that workingmen fully
aware would but measurably solve the great problem
of employers liability.
In almost every instance the compensation provided
for injured workmen has been altogether too little and
the time for which compensation is to be paid is far
too short.
The trouble with the employers associations has
that they conservatively cling to the
Old order and they look with fear the establish

To just and adequate compensation the trade
union proposes that the become the insurer and
that industry be taxed according hazard the money
derived therefrom to be used to fully provide for the

have looked with fear the enactment of any law
providing for state Insurance. The casualty companies

Abe Peters, according to the Usage

mutton exclusively Abe contends that
he would commence to grow wool in
stead Of hair and have all the man
ners and appearance of the sheep II
the same person were to dine three
times a day for several years on goat
flesh he would find horns commencing
to sprout out Of his forehead and billy
goat whiskers from his chin and would
likewise have an irresistible tendency
to butt into things that didn't really
concern him. To prove his theory Abe
declares he knew ~of q case where q
man developed an abnormal appetite
for bologna sausage. He would devour
whole links of bologna every day and
several times day. After a while he
commenced to bark in his sleep and
one day after he had chased a cat up
launches, with his nose in the air,
watching for the cat to come down, 30
he could chase it again. This was the
result entirely, as Abe figures it. Of
eating bologna sausage for long time.
