SAFETYLETS.

A workman who is cleanly in his work
is always careful.
L abor owes to itself the education of
it's fellows to be careful.
w by falter between care and careless
ness? One is long life; the
other an early demise.
A careful employee can always be
recognized by the company he
keeps.
Y on can prevent an injury in less
time than it takes to nurse one.
S tand always as an apostle of care,
then your conscience will not
pinch you with thoughts of re-
gret.
B e as truthful to yourself as you are
careful to the other fellow.
e xercise foresight, then you will not
be bothered as to hindsight.
c lean up your machinery, then cob
webs of care1essness will not
grow on your brain.
A careless employee should be shad-
owed as much as a crook.
r eplace your broken bones with
thoughts of care, then you will
not be caught again in the trap
of careleSsness.
E xercise your mind as much as your
body, then the lobes of your
brain will not cultivate weeds of
carelessness.

VIII Investigate Insurance Rates.

Because of the enormous profits
earned by casualty insurance COM
panies in 1912, Governor George H.
Hodges has asked Insurance Commits
sioner Ike S. Lewis and Labor Com
missioner O'Brien to investigate the
high insurance rates existing in Kan
sas. Totals in a report by the insur-
ance commissioner show that in 1912
Kansas paid $11, 304, 507 in various kinds
of insurance premiums, while the
companies returned to beneficiaries
and policy holders in the state 81, 81 ,425,
or a nice little margin of Sc. 493, 0S2 to
insurance companies for operation and
profits in the state in II months.
OF the eleven million dollars paid in
insurance premiums, $5,547 ,523 was for
old line insurance. Under these pol
icies the companies paid beneficiaries
81, 4sS,075 leaving $4059,4SS for opera
ton and profit-an amount equal to
business in this state. Independent of
all fraternal insurance, Kansans carry
life policies in a total amount of 1884,
643,523 at this time.
For fire and tornado insurance the
state paid 81, us, 23S, receiving in return
81, 921, 97S to cover the years losses.
Premiums on health, accident, fidelity
and liability insurance totalled 81 OBS, 761
for 1912 and on these policies the COM
panies paid losses aggregating SAL, 372.
Governor Hodges declares that these
figures indicate that Kansas insurance
rates especially those for old line
policies, are far too high and has asked
that the insurance department and the
labor bureau conduct an inquiry as to
existing rates.

TRIBUTE TO HARVEY.
Star Says Topekan Is Greatest Roman
of Them All.

Even the Kansas City Star, pioneer
advocate of the one house commission
form of legislature, admits that the
recent review of the new reform by
Major A. NJ. Harvey of Topeka, in the
State Journal, is one of the most able
arguments advanced against the new
theory; although the Missouri pub
LEGATION declines to accept the Harvey
argum ent. In editorial which APP
peared in the Kansas City Star OF
Thursday, April "a, that paper gives
kindly reference to the Harvey article
and pays him tribute as one of the
most able of Kansas lawyers.
Under the caption, Hamilton and
jefferson to the Rescue, the Kansas
City publication makes this review of
the Harvey criticism of the commits
sion form of state government:
Maj. A. M. Harvey of Topeka, quite
the ablest of the Standpat leaders in
Kansas, has written piece against
commission government for the state.
Major Harvey is also very able cor
poration lawyer, and it is evident that
he has made a careful study of the
new rule.
But in addition to Mr.. Harvey''s
personal views on the subject, there is
Hamilton-yes, Alexander Hamilton
and Thomas Jefferson. Mr.. Harvey
quotes from both of them to snow
how unalterably they opposed COM
mission government. Their advice to
Kansas is to go slow and not attempt
to abolish a legislative system that
has proved so satisfactory to every
body except the people. 1t is clear
that both Mr. Hamilton and Mr.. JEFF
ferson viewed with alarm the grow
ing disposition of the American cities
to depart from the old ward plan, es-
pecially after the experience or Cal
weston following the flood of 1900.
by all odds Major Harvey's little
piece on commission government is
the most interesting expression heard
from him since his able speech at In
dependence last May, when he urged
the Republicans of Kansas to send a
delegation to Chicago for President
Taft and thus ratify the presidents
a hle peace treaties"

GRAPE JUICE GAIETY,
NotabIes in Washington Talk Over
Bryan's Dry Dinner.

Washington, April 26.-Some of the
notables of Washington life have taken
part in the international comment on
Secretary Bryan's grape juice banquet
to British Ambassador Bryce. which
was attended by the first figures of the
diplomatic corps. Many foreign news
papers have published editorials upon
issued a statement.
Belva Lockwood, who, among other
distinctions, bears those of having been
nominated for president of the United
States, one of the original suffragists
and the first woman lawyer admitted
to practice before the supreme court,
approves the secretary's discrimination.
Grape juice gaiety is the safe and
sane gaiety," she said, "and it doesn't
leave a headache in the morning. We
should worry about London's criti-
cisms.''
Representative Bartholdt. for years a
leader in the campaign to restore the
canteen to the army and also an adj
vocate of International peace, doesn't
agree with Mrs. Lockwood nor Secre-
tary Bryan.
1.-THE diplomats, of course were not
in position to criticize" said he "but
would like to have a photograph of
what they thought. Dollar diplomacy
of the Republican regime was the tar
get of criticism, but grape juice diplo-
macy, I fear, will be much less eff
fective as far as our national prestige
is concerned
