The Canine Snob.

One of the strongest as we'll as
strangest instincts that man has I'M
planted in the dog is that of caste feel
ing. This may account for his entrance
into society" A proud and naughty
dog is specially valued. Man has taught
him contempt for his humber relatives.
A curious instance is given by an Eng
lish writer. Mr.. st. John. Speaking of
his favorite retriever. he says:
I'VE struck UP an acquaintance with
a ratcatcher and his cur, thoroughly
entering into their way of business, but
the moment he saw me he instantly cut
his humble friends, and denied all ac-
quaintance with them In the most com
iCal manner"
Hundreds of similar instances can be
found recorded, and they show that the
dog has learned deception as we'll as
other things from his human instruct
ors. They also make plain the fact that

Christ our Lord. Romans 6:23.
Scientific Bible students are rapidly
reaching the conclusion that the Bible
story of the deluge is corroborated by
geology, astronomy and history. The OLD
est records of 3abylonia tell of the deluge.
But no records of ancient times compare
with our Genesis account, or give a con-
nected history of the human family, a
chronological line OF 1856 years from Adam
to the food
Geology points cut distinctly that there
have been several great deluges. 1t shows
us beds of minerals, all of which must
have been settings of great floods. Some
deposits are hundreds of feet below the
present surface. Wien we ask where
such floods could come from, astronomy
points us to Saturn and Jupiter with their
rings" These, scientists declare, are
composed of minerals and water, thrown
off as gas when the planets were at white
heat themselves
These gases cooled and formed various
rings, held in suspense by the same laws
which hold the planets in space. The su-
perior weight of the planets draws these
rings nearer As each ring approaches

OF INJURED WORKER
Some Provisions of Proposed
Law Governing Rail

AMENDMENTS A WILL
BE OFFERED TO BILL
Measure Has Support of Labor Organ

the Well Known Railroad
Systems
BY C. E. STEWART

Washington, January 3l.-(Special)-The
vorkman's compensation bill, which pro-
yjdes for exclusive remedy and conpen-
cation for accidental injuries, resulting in
disability or death, to employees of COM
ron carriers, which is now under consid-
Grafton by the House judiciary commit
tee, will be reported by that body to the
House for action Saturday.
The bill provides that every common.
carrier, and with an amendment, express
company, engaged in interstate or Tor
eign commerce by railroad, shall pay COM
pensation to any employe who while en-
ployed in such commerce by such en-
ployer sustains personal injury by acci-
dent arising out of his employment and
res ulting in disability, without. recourse
10 law. 1t is designed to fix a reasonable
compensation for disability, and desig-
mates the amount to be paid for the va
rious classes of injuries, and does away
with the necessity of the injured person
bringing suit.
Has Strong Support
The bill is being strongly supported by
ti,e various labor organizations of the
country, and it is also favored by many
iuton of the difficulties arising from
accidents to employees, which sometimes
result in long and expensive legal con-
tests, which it is estimated cost the rail-
roads more than it woulo cost them un-
der this act, and in case of judgment
against them, most of the judgment is abb
sorbed in fees and expenses of various
nature, and the injured person does not
get the full benefit.
Under the act there shall be no com
pensation TO any employe for injury OF
death where it is proved that his injury
or death was occasioned by his wilful in
tention to bring about such results either
to himself or another, or that the same
resulted from his intoxication while on
duty. It also provides that the injured
person either by himself or agent give
notice to the employer within 80 days
after the accident of his injuries and
make claim for compensation.
The bill also provides that any EN-
ployer and his employees may organize
and constitute in such manner as they
may determine a committee or committees
Tor the purpose of settling disputes and
awarding compensation, and provides the
machinery or forms of adjustment notices
under the act, etc, and the joint repre-
sentation by medical experts.
Portion of Monthly Wage
Where permanent total disability re-
suits from any injury under this act
there shall be paid to the injured em-
rloye so per centum of the monthly wage
OF such employe during the remainder Of
his life 1t is conclusively presumed III
the bill that the following injuries result
ia permanent total disability; The total
and irrevocable loss of sight in both eyes
and the loss of both feet at or above the
ankle, the loss of both hands at or above
the wrist, the loss of one hand and one
foot, an injury to the spine resulting in

New Zealand, the country about which
so much has been written in recent
years, was beautifully depicted here
last Monday night by its natives, the
Raweis, in song and story. II was the
second number of the Redpath series
for the winter and mighty good one.
Mr.. Rawei and bis eloquent wife were
presented by Attorney Joel Waddell in
an Introductory preface, Mr. and Mrs.
Rawei were assisted by talented mu-
stefan, whose instrument was the guitar.
A glimpse Of the pearl OF the South
Seas was seen in lantern slides and in
terestingIy related by Mr.. and Mrs.
Rawei. What surprised us most was
the enchanting scenery. We had read
OF the people to some extent and their
rapid strides in civilization. But from
savagery 70 the highest plane in civil
ization. even to model government,
is remarkable indeed That is just what
has been accomplished in New Zealand
Sixty years ago the New Zealanders
were cannibals, savages OF the most
pronounced type, yet people OF in-
ventiye genius and beautiful sentiment.
The land and its enyirons is 50 beauti-
full even that tourists who have travelled
over the world look with wonder and
admiration at the varied and entranc-
ang panorama Of lakes, cliffs, falls and
nalisades. II Is a revelation, These
environments, Mr.. Rawei said, must
have their influence upon the inhab-
,tants. and so in sixty years Christian
c;vilization has completely transformed

The Wolf"

Next Monday evening at the Reynolds
Theatre promises to be notable event,
the occasion being the presentation in
this city OF THE Wolf, !" the play that
set all Chicago talking for more than
ten weeks, during its run in that city at
the Chicago Opera House, and also held
New York spellbound for nearly year
at the Lyric Theatre.
THE Wolf" is from the pen of Eu-
gene Walter, author Of several dramas,
but it is so different from the usual run
Of plays that it leaves distinct impress
sion OF its own on the mind Of the spec
tator. The story and theme are new.
There is an abundance Of bright dia-
Iogue, droll humor, and the pathos and
sentiment of the play are not OF the
artificial sort. The stage settings are
remarkably elaborate and many OF the
scenes are so we'll managed as to re-
ceive hearty applause. The engage
ment OF The Wolf" promises to be a
record breaker.

Fields Minstrels.

Al G. Field and his MINISTRIES invaded
the theatrical stronghold in Union City
last Friday night and the house, packed
to the ceiling, capitulated almost as soon
as the curtain was tucked away.
The magnificent scenes are made up
OF color harmonies that are riyaled only
by the music the MINISTRIES make. The
costumes, in a great variety Of colors,
but with scarlet and blue predominant
ing, are all new, and look as if they
bad never been worn before. And the
scenery is in keeping with the costumes.
The show has a Characteristic
Field opening. The first scene is per-
haps the most beautiful that this mas
ter minstrel has ever conceived. The
curtain rises on a quarter moon that
slants down upon military encamp-
ment in TIE tropics, with banana trees
overhanging thatched roofs and with
waterfall giistening through the
branches, and the orchestra, barely
visible in the shadows, playing Tent
ing on the Old Camp Grounds. Even
without the aid Of the program one
could tell the scene is in Panama. II is
in the appropriateness OF settings that
Mr.. Field has always excelled, and at
this time he could not have selected a
more effective setting than Panama. In
the closing scenes one gets panoramic
view OF the canal Throughout, the
production is patriotic, Old Glory being
in conspicuous and spectacular evidence
again and again.
Field has the best balanced 2S-piece
band ever heard here and his company
OF comedians, vocalists and performers
is one Of the best products OF American
minstrelsy from the days of Emmett
down. Bert Swor is West Tonnes
sean and his humor and dialect are as
irresistible as the sunshine OF bis native
valley. He has contributed another very
distinct character to the minstrel field.
But there are other good comedians,
and the balladists and musicians are all
full of the minstrel spirit. 1t was a
minstrel marvel for Union City, and
we enjoyed it.

Memorial Service.

The Benevolent and Protective Order
OF Elks, No. 679, Union City Lodge,
held their lodge OF sorrow at the home
last Sunday afternoon, DR.. j. B. Adker-
son, Exalted Ruler, presiding Eulogies
we're offered to the memory of the de-
parted brother by number Of mem
bers. Since the organization OF the
lodge here ten years or more ago quite
number OF well known citizens have
passed to that bourne from whence no
traveller returns, and the remaining
brothers meet annually to pay their re-
spects to the dead, but not forgotten.
The tablet in the lodge room contains
the names OF some OF Union City's fore
most men in business and in the pro-
fessions, men OF character and influence
whose lives were interviewer with the
affairs OF Union City, identical and
synonymous with its best institutions,
and these names will live long years
after the present generation passes. The
beautiful custom OF the Elks is never SO
strikingly illustrated as It is in the
words, His faults we wsite upon the
sands, his virtues upon thetablets Of love
and memory, and so it has been since
the organization of first Elks Lodge
by the famous actors, Joe jefferson and
Billy Florence, years ago, banded to-
eether to protect the better element Of
the profession from bitter attacks from
without and within aid to administer
benevoIence and brotherly love.

Presidents Message.

We are publishing this week Presi-
dent Wilson's first annual message to
Congress. Il is remarkable docu-
ment 1t Is brief and striking in sim
plicity and candor-most remarkable IN
its departure from double meaning, and
in its recommendation the principles OF
pure democracy are paramount.
The entire message is in consonance
with the ideas ofprogressive democracy.
Every reference is for the essence of good
government, but OF all these there comes
to us as the greatest article OF that docu-
mentt the matter OF choosing party candi-
dates. President Wilson urges the adop-
ton OF Presidential primaries. He
stands squarely upon the Democratic
platform and recommends that Congress
abolish the old convention system en-
tireIy, with the exception Of national
convention, made up not OF delegates,
but OF nominees for Congress, the SEN
ate, President, and members OF the
National Committees. to make the plat
forms. This is one OF the progressive
reforms that is needed more than any
other probably. There are more adj
iustmens involved in this reform than
in any other. 1t embraces the solution
OF individual sovereignty and the return
Of the election machinery TO the people
The Presidential primary will give every
man chance TO vote direct for his
choice Of party candidates and displace
the influences which intervene to OBJ
struct his vote. The old convention
system is one OF the most corrupt prac-
tees in the world. It destroys instead
OF contributes to Democratic govern
ment. Every little old county conven-
ton has its leaders, and matters not how
honest they are in private life conscience
in party affairs does not disturb them.
There was an example Of this here last
year 10 the Presidential election. The
choice OF Democrats in the county and
in the Congressional District, 50 con-
coded, was ignored completely by de-
signing politicians, and yet when the
plums were ripe they went after them in
hurry. Thank goodness, there was
one good man up at Martin, Bill Ran
kin, and his reward came Justly and
honestly
The Presidential primary will first re-
store the government to the people and
then they will be able TO carry out other
reforms with but comparatively little
trouble. 1t will be a Godsend to the
people.
