cally forced to co.. "
When the amount which. the law
allowed him for medical attention was
exhausted John Smith was dis
charged; discharged, not because he
was cured but bece use, he had no
more money. He was no longer. de-
sirable as a = patient and : nobody
seemed to care much anyway and,
well, they simply let him go :: -,
Under the Minnesota law the liability
insurance company selected the. physi-
clan and the hospital. These two
divide the amount allowed under the
law to the injured man for medical
attention. The injured man can only
acquiesce. Up to the $4,000 limit,
it is a plain business proposition
keeping John Smith and caring for
his wreck,-John Smith, one of the
thousands of heroes who fall in the
battle lines Of modern industry. After
that it is charity and then the attitude
of all concerned seems to change.
Is this, then, the explanation for
the summary discharge Of John Smith
before he was physically fit to leave
the hospital and while he was admit
teddy in a condition Of mental de-
rangement?
Not only is the law unjust to the
injured employe but to the physician,
unless he is a company physician and
paid by the company, but it is unjust
to the hospital authorities as we'll. 1t
says to them "here is an injured
workman; give him proper treatment
until he gets well, but we will give
YOU only certain sum of money for
your services" ',.
|. We hold that industry should bear
the expense of caring for John Smith
until he is made as completely well
as medical and surgical science can
make him. The Legislature should re-
fuse to stand by and permit non-resi-
dent liability insurance companies to
dictate what provisions the Minnesota
workmen's compensation law shall, 81
shall, not contain. It should refuse
to allow a foreign pro1t-making cor
poration to speculate in dead mems
bones; to stop it from according sim

SLANDERING WOMAN SUFFRAGISTS:
The antisuffragists, according news reports are
resorting to tactics which indicate that they are in diff
cult straits When they cannot find legitimate argu
ment against the of equal suffrage they fall
on the argument that has been hurled every advocate
of something new.
During the recent campaign In New York the ants
accused the suffragsts with being Immoral persons who
advocate free love and other things destructive of the
social fabrc.'
Such tactics are not new. When Thomas Jefferson,
of the pioneers among fundamental democrats avo-
Gated his liberal ideas, the Tories pointed him
very devil in human form. Tom Paine reviled be-
he dared his political religious views
and the Socialists in our day bearing the brun of the
same attacks ''

Chapman Catt chairman of the committee in charge

LIQUOR BUSINESS A PARASITE.
(By LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR WAL
LACE of California;

CBy LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR WAL
LACE of Californ!a)
Business is an exchange of COM
modities 1t is buying and selling,
and there must be advantage or gain
in the barter For continued COM
merce the gain must extend to both
parties to the transaction. If the re-
sultant advantage of business deal
inures to the benefit OF one party only,
there is an economic defect. The buy
er must benefit by his purchase as
truly as the seller by his sale. The
buyer gets from the grocer flour. from
the hardwareman nails. from the lum-
herman lumber, and in each case buy
er and seller are benefited. The same
buyer goes to the saloon to get wine
or beer or whisky. The dealer makes
a profit on the goods sold. But here
is a break in our business principle.
The buyer makes no gain. He parts
with his share of the barter, and gets
nothing valuable in return. At every
other counter there was gain on both
sides: here the gain was on one side
only. The transaction limps; it is
false to business principles. 1t repre-
sents economic waste.
The economic waste becomes null
tiplied factor when the argument is
extended to liquors effect on the pur-
chaser who consumes it. The liquor
traffic is a parasite. Any business
blood that It has is sucked from the
vigorous body of healthful business.
II contributes nothing. but draws
heavily. II a town or city prospers
where traffic in liquor is allowed, its
prosperity is less than 1t should be
by Just so much as liquor takes. 1t
gives nothing. and what II takes is SO
much subtracted from the general
gain.

Define the Ideal Husband.

Happiness in married life depends

band to maintain as ardent a wooing
after marriage as during courtship.

wives. expressed in letters to Rev.
Howard A. Field. pastor of the Simp-
son NJ. E. church. The letters were
requested by Mr.. Field and the pas
tor based sermon The Ideal Hus-
band" on them. All agreed that the
ideal husband must be an ideal lover.
Other necessary qualities OF an ideal
husband in the order OF their impor-
lance were fixed as follows:
He must be . lover Of home.
He must be industrious even to the
extent OF being willing to roll up his
shirtsleeves and help tidy the house.
He must be morally pure-there can
be no double standard Of purity.
He must treat his wife as his equal
mot as a servant.
He must be temperate.-Detroit

TWO SCENES.

TWO SCENES.
Excerpt from one OF Mrs. L. NJ. n.
Stevens Annual Addresses.)
A young society woman. total abb
stainer, remarked that II was very
hard to make a strong argument in
favor of total abstinence when there
were so many moderate drinkers in
her circle who were successful in
business and happy in their home
life. To this we say. in your circle
you see but one section at one stage
OF action. Let us shift the. scene a
little.
A temperance specialist was per
mitted to sit in the office of a certain
sanitarium while the patients came
filing in with barred arms to take their
semi-daily treatment. When the last
one had passed out the doctor said.
In that line were representatives of
many business enterprises. OF educa.
tional institutions, of every profess
sion; men who are still possessors Of
large wealth, and others who have
wasted their fortunes and are now
trying to get well that they may be-
gin life anew"

No. But it's an advantage. A man
who hasn't ability can make friends

is rather pleased to see him get
helped along at public expense
