SanisatiOns of America.

Omaha Elks and their friends crowded
the Orpheum theater Sunday morning for
the annual Memorial services of Omaha
lodge No. 80. A beautiful program of
vocal and instrumental music, addresses
and readings was given. Rev. Alfred
g. A. Ruxton, chaplain of the Council
Bluffs lodge No. 6Sl, delivered the me-
mortal address. He praised the spirit
of brotherhood growing in the world and
declared the Eiks to be the embodiment
of that spirit.
Every morning." he said, "as we read
again and anew the continuous world
tragedy of Europe, we look at the picture
and hear the weeping of children and the
lamenting OF the mothers. We look at
this picture and, We see that prosperity
there has been reduced to naught; that
beauty has been turned to ugliness; that
culture and education has been turned to
ignorance. Yet you and 1 are happy un-
der the Stars and Stripes, the patchwork
OF Betsy Ross.
American Inspiration.
1T is American brotherhood that has
made manhood the world over more
manly; happiness easier attained; and has
inspired the world with better feeling
of brotherhood.
And today the thing that makes US
proud to be citizens of America is that
we live In a land that is at peace with
all the world and is yet strong enough 10
defy all in the protection OF its children. .
the speaker said that the time had
not yet come when one. could speak Of
brotherhood In any but prophetic way,
except as that brotherhood manifests IT.

COMPENSATION
BILL DRAFTED

The workingmen's compensation COM
mission closed their meeting in Boise
last week, and Representative A. H.
Conner. of Bonner county, outlines the
work accomplished as follows:
Our Investigations led us into an
intimate study of the Industrial con-
ditions in Idaho and the peculiar needs
OF this state with reference to the
compensation question:" said Mr.. Con-
ner today.
Safety Act.
EARLY in our deliberations we came
TO the conclusion that the principal OBJ
ject to be obtained was not so much the
compensation for but the prevention of
accidents. We. therefore. prepared an
act providing that all places Of employ
ment In the state should he construct
ed and operated in a careful manner
and should be provided with all rea-
sonabe appliances for the purpose Of
safeguarding the life and limb of the
employee. and around this safety act
we have constructed this entire bin.
Compensation Provision.
las far as the compensation part OF
the bill is concerned, we proceeded on
the theory that the interest of the
working man extended only to know
ing that reasonable schedule of COM
pensation for various injuries was es-
tablished. and that when he was in
jured he would receive the compensa-
ton provided for by that schedule.
From this point ON we have tried to so
frame our bill as to disturb the exist
ing Industrial conditions as little as pos
sible. We have kept these two things
In mind, however; first that place
Of employment must be kept free from
unnecessary danger. and. second, that
the workman should be guaranteed the
payment of reasonable compensation for
his injuries.
