FEWER BREWERY ACCIDENTS.
Rate for Employer Liability In
surnnce Cut In Missouri.

A reduction Of IS per cent in employ
ers' liability insurance for employees OF
Missouri breweries went into effect last
week. This virtually Is the only indus
try in which the rates were cut. The
new schedule. affecting all Missouri in
dustries, which became effective No
vember /, recorded an average increase
OF about % per cent in rates
The brewery rate was reduced from Z
cents to q cents per 500 OF pay roll.
The companies did not decrease the
brewery rates out Of friendliness to the
brewery owners, was the declaration OF
E. V Thompson. president of the In
surance Federation of Missouri.
THE cut In rates was ordered after
reports showing the experience OF all
the casualty companies in Missouri had
been filed with the Workmen's Com
pensation Bureau of New York. -
Thompson said. THE reports showed
that the accidents in breweries have
been constantly decrea sing.
The lowress OF the new brewery rates
indicates that the insurance companies
do not regard the drinking of light beers
as causing any addition to the hazard
involved in the insuring OF a factory full
of employees.
I'm fact, the companies have long i'm
pressed upon their agents in cities and
towns throughout the country that their
experience has been that an almost neg
ligible number OF accidents have been
caused through the employees drinking
OF light beers."-St- Louis Globe Demo-

formed that it would increase the cost
Of maintaining the army. But all advice
OF the authorities at the War Depart
ment was ignored. and Congress added
something like $4,000 TO the cost of main
tanning the army at a time when 1t was
endeavoring to find some way to reduce
the expenses of the military establish
ment.
This is only one of many increases that
have been made by Congress simply be-
cause II will not accept the recommends
lions of the department.
The hfghest-paid army that has ever
been put in the field is composed OF the
Canadian troops which have been sent
to the European war. According to a
report that has recently reached WASH
ington, enlisted men in the Canadian
force are now receiving $50 day In
addition to their rations. clothing, medi-
cal attendance and other allowances.
This in civilian pay amounts to about
from $50 to s. per day.
According to reliable reports, Canada
has now on the battle front in Europe
about 4o,00O men. This does not include
those who are in training in Canada and
England.

the Navy Department yesterday: Com

Editor of The Washington Herald:
I wish to enter emphatic protest
against a certain class OF critics who
have selected as a target our states
man in the White House, President
Wilson.
It is a tribute to him that his po-
litical enemies are chagrined because
he has furnished them with so little
campaign capital. So skillfully has he
guided the ship OF state between all
manner or rocks that many Of the
lukewarm have become admiring
friends and many OF his former de-
tractors have stopped open opposi-
tiOn.
II took the happy combination of
seer. politician. statesman, and mo-
raIist to accomplish what President
Wilson hasNdone during the last year
alone He has out-Bryaned Bryan in
the achievements of peace, and has
beaten many astute politicians at
their own game without for a moment
compromising with anything of a
questionable nature He has proven
himself familiar with the best and
most advanced thought of his age.

Capt. r. L. Russell. formerly Judge
Advocate General of the Navy. according
to the most reliable information will be
offered the detail Of commandant of the
Philadelphia Navy Yard. Capt. William
S. Smith. who is at present captain of
the yard and acting commandment. Is said
to be slated for another important post
which will be more congenial to him.
Can't Smith. who has made an excellent
record at the Philadelphia yard. was on
the Secretary's list which he has been
considering for permanent detail to the
yard until a few days ago when the Of
fcer indicated that there was another
place that he would prefer.
The Secretary's determination to ap-
point Capt Russell II Is said Is due to the
executive ability of the former Judge Ad-
yocate General of the Navy. The build
ing of a battleship at the Philadelphia
yard will make 1t necessary to reorganize
the establishment there and II Is stated
that the Secretary Is of the opinion that
Can't Russell Is especially equipped for
this duty Capt. Russell is at present
awaiting orders. having recently been re-
lieved from duty at sea. He Is due for
quite an extended term OF duty ashore
which will give him ample time to re-
organize the Philadelphia Navy Yard.
When Capt Russell was on duty at the
Navy Department he was one of the most
popular officers in Washington.
The War Department is now facing a
deficit OF SO 900 in the mileage appropria-
ton for the current fiscal year. This Is
due to the passage by Congress of the
two-year Philippine service law without
making any additional appropriations.
The amendment to the last army ap-
preparation bill. which provides for the
reduction of the term in the Philippines
from three to two years. was passed
without a recommendation from the
War College. In fact. the Secretary of
War protested against II. and the mem-
beers of the military committees were in

ThanksKivfnE Thoughts.

I Editor OF The Washington Herald
! With the approach OF the day set apart
I for cur national Thanksgiving. those Of
us who are in the habit of going TO
| church. begin to wonder IL we are 10
! have a bonafide Thanksgiving service. or
be RECALLED with the usual enumeration u
| our shortcomings as citizens and as 4
ration
On this day designated by the Presi-
dent for the expression OF our gratitude
to Almighty God for the innumerabls
blessings vouchsafed to us, We are gen.
orally reminded what a wicked and per-
verse nation we have become. One year
ago. in one Of the large and prosperous
Washington churches, II was asserted
with much earnestness and eloquenCe
that We are devoted worshippers at the
shrine OF ambition; at the shrine of
dress. at the shrine of mammon, etc. At
another (union service). there was
passing in review OF the moral delin-
Quency of the times; that what America
needs most Is not more battleships, but
more deVout followers of the Prince of
Peace; not more gold. but higher types
of character and christian manhood. etc.
Admitting that all such discOurses are
the sincere convictions of the speakers.
why not line up with the spirit of the
occasion for a few hours at least, and
let the lambasting go over until a more
appropriate season? In other words,
give the big stick days rest
Let me illustrate my meaning. In 1871
our telegraph system consisted of a sin
gle wire forty miles long strung to bean
poles and saplings between Baltimore
and Washington. At each end of the
line there was a register" a mechanical
device which had to be wound up like .
clock. to record the dots and dashes of
the Morse code. That a message could
be sent so great a distance by wire was
regarded such a transcendent achieve
ment, that the first telegram. reading.
What hath God wrought" Is Indicative
of thankful hearts which It might well
be emulatedN today.
Passing from that interesting period
of our history down through the inter-
vening seventy-eight years and contrast
ing our present methods of. communica-
ton by wire and wireless, and noting our
progress equally great in a hundred Diff
ferent directions-the youngest. richest.
grandest and best of all the nations of
the earth, with big crops and continued
peace-why should We not rejoice and be
glad instead Of looking for cinders
among the stars?
To those. then. who are optimists in
theory but pessimists in practice: who
select Thanksgiving Day as the time to
magnify our vices and minimize our vir-
tues: who fail to find sermons in stones.
