Black as a Color,

Black Is probably not color, bu,
rather the absence Of color. It alb
serbs light, but gives back very little
In return, and is also an absorbent

pigments Of nature, as is evident from
the words used to particularize It In
more than one language. For in.
stance, in Anglo-Saxon, the same root

contradictory words black" and

reference to the idea of black being
the absence Of properly.termed color

LIABILITY OPPONENTS
FAIL

Columbus, Ohio, uly 16.-The State
Supreme Court has dealt a death blow
to the Equity Association, which has
been attempting to secure referen-
dun on the Green workhen's compen-
sation and liability law. Last year the
Equity Association filed with secre-
|tary of State Graves a petition pur-
porting to contain the signatures OF
70, 900 electors for referendum on
the liability law. The State officials
discovered numerous frauds in the pc
tftion, and the arrest of petition ped
dlers resulted in confessions OF fraud.
The secretary OF. state held the petit
lions nullity, declaring them SO in
voIved in fraud that it was impossible
to tell the valid signatures from for
geries. CHARLES S. Gankwer, of Cleve-
land, secretary of the Equity Associa-
ton ;then offered to file 10000 sup.
Elemental signatures, but these were
refused by Mr. Graves on the ground
that, as the original petition was null
there was nothing to be supplemented

Dayton Charges To

At the time of 'the hearing OF the
Dayton charges by the full committee,
a sub committee was hearing the evil
dence against Justice Wright. OF the
District of Columbia court. ~
Congress Will Favor.
It seems to be the generah impress
sion that if the Judiciary Committee
reports favorably to impeachment to
Congress, that that body will sustain
the report overwhelmingly. And
whether the Committee so reports will
depend, apparently, upon technical
construction. ( 1t will be remembered
that Judge Speer of Georgia was found
guilty of about, everything thatA a
Judge should not be guilty OF, but~the
Committee decided that he had not
technically violated the law: There
seems to be no doubt in the. mind OF
any. friend of humanity that Judge
DAYTON has violated the spirit OF his
Foath of office, but ~his capitalist sup
porters are contending that %he has
not technically violated the law
But the impression seems general
that if the people are denied the IN
vestigation of this man whose VIC
lent prejudice has caused so much
misery to the workers now. that they
will lose faith in the orderly process
of government. and will fall the more
readily into the frame of mlnd IL
which the seeds of the anarchist pro
paganda take root.

New Law
Cheapest

Albany, July 16-"The New York
employer who today sees only the fact
that he is compelled to pay out part
of his profits for insurance, may real
ize the benefits of the new law before
the year is over, when, after some un
forseen disaster, he finds his injured
workmen taken care of and himself
freed from costly lawsuits and heavy
damages said Governor Glynn, in
ISdiscussing the new Workmen's com
pensation act, which took effect the
! first of the month. y ..5.... .
"After all it is not the employer who
should complain of workmen's com
pensation," continued the governor
"The principle of compensation en-
bodied in the New York law is that
the cost of industrial accidents shall
be pasesd on y thu consumer by the
man who employees labor. The mon
ey which the employer pays for insur-
ance must show in a. slightly added
cost to the community for the product
of the employers business. BUT it
is far better that the community
should take up this added cost in what
lit purchases, instead of paying the
same amount in added taxes to take
care of INDECENT families and to main
tain crippled workers in public insti-
tutions. NIL T..
1.-THE employer is now protected
from the cost of lengthy lawsuits and
the compensation which his injured
workmen will receive is now scienti-
fically determined, instead of being
~ h 1oo nd IF q
jury trial.
"The workman in turn, may now
be confident that in case Of serious
injury his family will not become pau
pers, and he is saved from the dis
tress and uncertainty of legal pro-
cedure Instead of being antagonistic
the interests of employer and employe
are now madde the asme. There is
no lawyer, no jury. no technically
standing between them. Every dol
lar that the employer pays out for
industrial accidents goes to the injur-
ed workman instead of being distrib-
uted in legal costs.
zone letter from lumber employer
of the tSate of Washington strikes a
significant note We like the COM
pensation law he says, for the reas-
on that we can now care. for our en-
ployes at the time OF, the accident,
when they m ost need help. Prior to
passage, we dared not help or talk to
a man hurt, AS any utterance of sym
pathy or any help would be taken as
the admission of negligence and used
against us in lawsuits by ambulance
chasing attorneys
"New oYrks CONDENSATION law will
bring the man who labors and the
man who employs labor into closer
sympathy. It; will protect the work
man from the ever-present fear that
those dependent upon him will be
forced into almshouses should any
thing happen to the bread-winner. 1t
will shield the business man from I'M
expected accidents which have driven
more than one employer into bank
ruptcy." 4
