Supreme Court Passes OH Interstate
Commerce.

Washington, Feb. "A decision
tending to widen the accepted scope
Of the federal employers liability law
today was handed down by the SUI
preme court in the case OF Robert H.
Burgess. a Southern railway fireman
killed at Selma, n. c., April 20, 1909.
while crossing the railway tracks to
get his dinner basket.
The court overruled contentious
that because the fireman had left his
engine to go to boarding house he
was not engaged In interstate COM
merce; that the engine was not in in
terstate commerce because it was
about to haul empty cars across the
State line and that Burgess was not
engaged in interstate commerce be-
cause his engine had not been hooked
to the cars. y
The decision reverses and sends
back for new trial judgment of $2,-
GOO granted Burgess executors by the
North Carolina courts on the theory
that Burgess was engaged only in in
terstate commerce.

WHY AND HOW.

Our little human lives ara inspr-
ed on their several ways largely
through Agencies that, in themselv-
es, are immensely wonderful and
awe creating, yet by us mysterious
ly unknowable-as great Truths,
too gigantic for us but to squint at
like even to the Creation of every
growing thing, whose source We
cannot understand
And yet there is not a single ere
ated thing-even the most minute
but that renders Lessons, that the
simplest of humans may not learn,
fully understand, and take to heart.
The biggest secrets of the Stars will
always remain unknown; no one will
ever become wise enough to fully
explain the miraculcusness of the
Giant Tree from the little Seed;
or the wonders of the Harvest; or
the Why and How of the Storm
But inspiration fairly bursts from
each.
It's the things that we don't know
that drive us to know what We do
know.

largely with boiling oil as an inciden-
