last winter. Assuredly they don t
realize that it has any remote bear
ing on their particular business. "
Asked as to the probable effect of
/ the measure on the business inter
ests of Minnesota, an employer
said: twill undoubtedly increase
overhead cost appreciably although
probably not to a greater extent
than in other states operating I'M
der similar laws. However, there
can be no question but that the
change will in the long run prove
beneficial to the employer as we'll as
the employee. 1t will save the for
mer much needless and expensive
litigation of his accident claims and
it will enable the latter to obtain
prompt and just legislation in such
cases without having to share the
award with a lawyer"
Asked as to whether he thought
many employers or employees
WOulu avail luCulSSlNSS vi lIS SlSC-
tive option to reject the compensa-
ton section of the law, the opinion
was expressed that they would not.
The employer who elects for
litigation, outside of the law, in
preference to compensation under
it, is shorn of his old-time common
law defenses of contributory negli-
gence, fellow servant negligence
and assumption of risk, and in that
situation will be practically unable
to escape payment of heavy dam
ages on almost any personal injury
suit which may be brought against
him by all employee. On the other
hand, the employee who stays
out will find these same de-
lenses restored to the en-
ployer and under such circum-
stances will be equally unable to
secure compensatory damages.
Thus both have a strong incentive
to keep out of the courts altogether
and avail themselves of the auto
matte and inexpensive method pro-

Fatally Shot Saturday

Theodore Maxi, aged 10 years,
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Jacob Maxi
accidently shot himself while hunt
ing rabbits Saturday afternoon
from the effects of which he died
the same evening. 1t seems that
young Maxi and several other boys
of about his age went into the
woods with 22-calibre rifles for the
purpose of hunting. 1t also seems
that Maki's gun became entangled
with the limb of tree and in try
ing to dislodge it the weapon was
discharged. The bullet passed
through his hand and his side pene-
trating the lung.
Dewey Knutson who was one of
the party picked up the wounded
boy and carried him to town aud
the hospital. The physicians did
all in their power for the injured
boy but without avail and he died
shortly after reaching town. The
parents, two sisters and four broth
ers survive him. He was a pupil
of the Ely schools.
The funeral of the unfortunate
boy was held Tuesday from the
Finnish church, Rev. Hiirvi officiat-
ing. The funeral was largely at
tended and the floral offerings were
many and beautiful.

NEW LAW OCTOBER |
W0kmGn Compensation Act Becomes Effective ON That Date Sweep
imp Changes Made in the Matter Of Compensation
for Injured Employees
ALL EMPLOYERS UNDER NEW LAW

While the nature of the new
workmen's compensation law,
which takes effect October /, is
generally understood by manufac-
turerS, contractors and other large
employers of labor, it will probably
be news to many small employers
that they, too. are directly affected
by the legislation which was enact
ed last winter.
The only exemptions under the
law are accidents occurring to farm
laborers, household servants, So
called casual worker" employees
of interstate and common carriers.
The grocer who has had a single
delivery boy in his service, the
physician who boasts of a trained
nurse, the lawyer who employs a
stenographer, are all contemplated
along with the mill owner, the
mine operator, and the building
contractor.
Hotels, stores, theaters, hospi-
tails, printing offices-even lunch
counters, barber shops, and news
stands anyone and everyone em-
ploying help, whether in large or
small degree, are directly affected
by this revolutionary measure.
The sweeping character of these
compensation laws is not usually
appreciated by the public until they
actually become operative and in
jured employees begin making
claims hereunder" said a promi-
nent Duluth employer. Similar
legislation is now in force in
other states, yet it is safe to say
that in not one of them did the EN-
ployers generally have any concep-
ton of the .eal nature of their new
liabilities on the day when the law
took effect. | will venture that
there are hundreds of small employ
ers who don't even know that the
legislature passed law of this kind

der beautiful the night, and the

turn their mandibles upright. The

SEPTEMBER FORECAST
(By Ganderbone)

September was the seventh
month in the old Roman calendar,
and therefore took its name from
the Latin septem (seven). This
brought Labor Day around mid
summer, when it was too hot to
march far enough to make much
impression on capital, and the Ro-
man unions subsequently had it
made the ninth month. 1t is said
that the result was extremely graft
flying. The endurance of everyone
marching increased, capital was
cowed, and wages went up.
The name September has al
ways been popular, and the only
attempt ever made to remove it
from the calendar resulted in one
of the worst riots in history. This
occurred in the time of Germanicus
the tyrant who sought to give his
own name to the month, as the
Caesars had given their names TO
July and August. Soon after the
change was made there was an up
rising among poets, song writers
and other persons of refined in
stincts, and Germanicus was chased
back to Germany, suffering the
loss of most of his men and his
royal coattail. The name Septem-
Der was then restored to every stone
and bronze from which it had been
expurged, and no one else has ever
tamDered with it.

So welcome as the season nigh,

And the pumpkin vine begins to

As lightly as a ton of brick,

WHEN DIAz RETURNS

Shortly before Portifrio Diaz
wasf6reed to give up the presid-
sdey Of Mexico he made this por-
tentous remark to Representative
of the Cosmopolitan Magazine
Anything that, benefits the
Americans in this country benefits
Mexico, and anvthing4that Injuries
the Americans Injuries Mexico"
Sinceshe left, this proposition has
been reversed
When Dia& left Mexico some real
ly great advances had been made.
True, the old general, knowing the
peppery Mexican temperament,
was too slow in giving them any
real democratic government. But
he truly boasted that new Mexico
was slowly being erected on the
double foundation of the farm and
the school, In some provinces illit-
aracy had been greatly reduced.
Parents were so anxious for educa
ton for their children. that they
would often give them up to en-
ployers Of labor, on condition that
they should be allowed to attend
school,, The best schools were pro-
gressive. with free text books,
medical examinations and. indus,
trial training. g.; ......
If Gen, Diaz obeys the command
of his country to return he will find
that three years have made great
changes. American property worth
$ll0,00Q,000 has been destroyed.
The Mexicans have. had their dance,
now they must pay the piper.
President Huerta is reported as
recognizing that these, claims must
be. dealt with. If the Mexicans
wish light, water, railroads, and all
the machinery Of civilization, they
must stop converting the property
Of foreigners into junk, and they
must listen with some respect to
the views Of the foreign peoples.
k, President Diaz had his faults but
he was too big a man for bantam
craftsmanship. His government in
its extremity has done we'll to seek
his help and advice. f. He will be
able to tell his fiery compatriots
some elementary things that other
people learn in their early days.

WENT DEEPLY INTO DETAILS
Identification That Undoubtedly Was
Complete, but Could by No Means
Be Called Complimentary.

Stephen Hagen, manager OF a
Harlem bank, at dinner recently told
the following anecdotes: Many years
ago, while spending a vacation in a
city in the upper part of the state, he
visited some friends in q bank. While
there he saw severe-looking woman
move up to the teller's window and
request that a small check be cashed.
She asked the man in the cage to
call up the person from whom she had
received the check and he would iden-
tify her.
The teller called up the man and
asked him to describe the woman. He
did SO in the following manner: she
looked like the crankiest person in
+ the world. She was dressed in the
fashion of about FIVE years ago. l
think she is an old cat. She wore a
blue straw hat, but then 1t may be
green, and 1 think she paints. She
wore two fake diamond rings, Good
