mems compensation insurance Is very
gratifying to this department" said
Welker Given, secretary Of the in
dustrial commission. But another
change coming since the publication
of Commissioner Garst's report is even
more so. We are in receipt Of circu-
lar letters sent out within a few days
by both stock and mutual insurance
companies informing agents and poi
Icy holders that every discrimination
against married men, aged employees
and those partially disabled, is with
drawn. One Of these letters say that
even where s~ub-standard workmen
have rejected the compensation act in
order to save their jobs, the company
will take no advantage Of this but will
pay full benefits in case Of accident"
State omcials say that this Is u
great victory for Mr.. Garst, but they
add that great credit is due to George
Coils, a Clinton manufacturer, who
first brought the matter of discrimina-
ton against aged and partially dis
abled workmen to the attention of the
department. Coils was employing a
man who vas partially p~aralyzed. The
n.an-Charles F. Neubauer-was prac-
tically q pensioner but the Insurance.
company declined to accept the risk
on the factory to cover this man. Neu-
bauer voluntarily rejected the benefits
Of the workmen's compensation act In
order to hold the place he had. This
set a precedent and solved the prob
lem OF how to keep partially disabled
men on the pay roll. with the insur-
ancs companies insisting on this rule.

be some little surprise expressed on
all sides that the jurors did not reach
an agreement.
Judge Van Valkenburgh left Keokuk

in which he conducted The court.

THE SALVATION ARMY.
A Statement, So the People May
Know.

The wagon now patrolling the
streets of Trinidad with , "dIy ban.
ner' is doing this with the consent
of the mayor of the city. The move
was inaugurated by the Christian
people of the city under the direc-
tion of the Ministerial association
and is upheld by them.
This statement is made in view OF
the fact that the wagon used is OWL
ed by one of our men in the Salvation
Army, and the team is driven by an
other one of our men: these men arc
paid for their services.
Without doubt the public knows
how the Salvation Army stands on
every question affecting the morals
of the people.
