BELT REPAIRING.
Liability Of Company for Injury to an
Employe So Engaged.

Empioye So Engaged.
An experienced employee In Mis-
souri, ore mill was injured while as
sisting In shortening a belt that oper-
ated mineral pump. owing to his
arm being drawn into the pulley,
which was not stopped. A suit against
his employer resulted in a judgment
for $1,000 damages. but the st. Louis
court Of appeals recently reversed the
award on the ground that negligence
had not been established. chandler
VS.. st. Joseph Lead Co. 178 South
western Reporter, 2l7). The view of
the higher court Is expressed in the
following language:
"The master Is not an insurer Of the
safety of the servant and. within the
limits OF ordinary prudence, may con-
duct his business in his own way.
There is here no negligent order or
rected plaintiff to repair this belt but
he did so of his own initiative, In q
manner OF his own choosing and with
out requesting any one In authority to
stop the machinery An en-
ploye performing the duties assigned
to plaintiff was expected by the de-
PENDANT to make such repairs. But
the evidence is that the task In which
plaintiff was engaged when injured
was one which could be safely per-
formed If reasonable care was en-
ployed. And plaintiff, by reason OF
his long experience, possessed the re-
quisite knowledge and skill FOR the
proper performance thereof. The
master may intrust to the servant the
performance of the ordinary and sim
pie duties incident to the servants
employment and resting upon the lat
ter's knowledge and skill. And the
master has the right to assume that
the servant will exercise ordinary care
in the performance of such duties"

The republican party knows that thu
production of wealth precedes its dis
tribution. Its adversaries do not rec
ognize the simple truth that the Am
erican people can not distribute either
wages or wealth they do not have
its party edifice, it strives steadfastly
that all may share in supplying each
others wants. 1t declines to see the
wisdom of buying anything elsewhere
il we can produce 1t at home.
In 1916 must be told again the story
of American protection. 1t will not
now fall on needless ears. Experience
has taught the time honored expensive
lesson OF democratic victory 1t will
not be forgotten or unlearned by lis
tening to strange tales of tariff re-
formers or Missionaries riding their
theories into Industrial ruin. The pro-
tective periods of the republican party
write the chapter of the countrys
prosperity, Industrial activity, living
wages and prices, with steady en-
ployment and constant markets nat
urally follow republican admins

Wilson Defines Tariff Duties.
President Wilson in his message to
congress. April 8. 1918, speaking for
the democratic party, said;
THE object of the tariff duties
henceforth laid must be effective COM
petition. the whetting of American
wits by contest with the wits of the
rest OF the world"
The American people have now had
two years of effective competition"
SO effective has 1t been no one has es-
capped it's devastation. Distrust was
substituted for confidence Enterprise
halted. The paralysis of idleness fell
upon the industry of the country. The
rising tide of increased imports and a
decrease Of exports lost our home
market and denied, until mitigated by
the temporary calamity of war. an ex-
pansion of trade abroad.
Whetting our wits against the wits
of the world became contest of Am
erican wages against foreign wages
and standards of living. 1t is an I'M
equal contest. 1t pits at last the Am
eriean home, its women and children,
against the conditions and wage
struggles of the old world, Success
can come under the democratic plan
OF whetting wits only by the debase-
ment Of our labor and consequent I'm !

Ipoverishment of all dependent on 1t
1t is not the first tariff operation the
democratic party has tried on the pro

The high cost of living was per

Difference Between Surplus and De-
felt.
The only relieving feature of the
prophecies of abundant revenue Is
that few believed them when made
and nobody believes them now. The
'observant ones long ago discovered a
treasury deficit was a normal symp-
tom Of democratic administration,
and a logical result Of its tariff legis-
lation. 1t has been fortified by
European war tax, by an income tax
and corporation tax, and still the
deficit grows, The democracy has
tried everything but economy in it's

.ROADHOUSE MEN NOT 0BEY|NG LAW
Believed that Judge Bunnell will Show Roadhouse Keeper Error
 of Their Ways.

According to late arrivals from the interior some of the roadhouse keep CTS along the winter road are not liv- ing up to the law passed by the last session of the territorial legislature requiring roadhouses to keep a re cord of all persons who stop or pass the places. They are a few, how ever, who are living up to the letter of the law and are doing all they can to keep track of everyone who passes their roadhouse.
 Judge Bunnell, of the Fourth Di- wilson, is coming over the road from Fairbanks to Valdez, and it is be- lieved that he will see to it that the negligent roadhouse keepers observe the law in future.
 This law applies to every trail in Alaska and was placed on the statute books owing to the strong demand that some record should be kept which would enable the tracing of missing persons and to prevent and detect crime. It is believed that had the system been in effect in former years that the shocking trail mur- ders would not have occurred or that the guilty parties would not have been enabled to get out of the coun- try before the crimes were revealed.

EDITOR OF LESLlE'S
 VIEWS ALASKA FISHERIES.

As I saw the steamship taking on thousands of cases of salmon at Sel- dovia, asked MT. Randolph how long the fish then being shipped had been out of the water. He said: "Only a day. They go from here to Seattle and can be on your table in New York in three or four weeks after they are caught" Fresh fish!
 MT. Randolph said that one of the choicest delicacies he ever ate was a mess of breaded broiled hearts of the big king salmon. Some of these fish weigh 180 pounds each, while the red or 'sockeye" salmon weigh only eight pounds. They taste like sweetbreads, he added, land it is too bad they are being wasted"
 And so are the fine large livers, as large as your hand, and the spawn which if 1t was sturgeon, eggs. would command high price for caviar. Plans to utilize some of these prod ucts are being studied by MT. Ran dolph and by others. Another tidbit Is the little chunk of sweet, tender meat lodged in the cheek of the sal mon just below the gills. The can ners reserve such delicacies for their friends and themselves, but the time will come when they will find special mention on the menus of the highest
