A SMALL pEeroRs' COURT.

q i. =
A court Of summary justice for poor
people who cannot collect money that
is due them was provided by the leg
islature of Kansas in 1913. Such
small debtors courts, as they are
called. were soon erected in several
cities, and they have been successful
in correcting a long-standing. abuse.
The old retort of a prosperous debtor,
eco ahead and sue" is no longer a
safe answer to a demand for the pay.
ment of just bill, due to the laun.
dress, the day laborer, or the odd
jobs mechanic.
The. law provides that no lawyer
shall be permitted in the court; that
no fee shall be charged for bringing
suit; that the judge shall make his
decision on the basis Of common
sense and common justice, disregard
ing, all niceties of legal quibbling
No case may be handled which in
+! volved more than $40. The complain
ant must be, legally, poor person
and the defendant must live within
the jurisdiction of the court. A tele
phone call from the judge is lega
summons to any witness who may be
required. Most cases are settled II
half an hour.

RODS SAVE BUILD.
iNGs.
Storm Damage Found to Be 80 Per
Cent Less.

The fire loss in the United States
value amounts to $500 a minute. and
many large part Of this is due to
lightning. 1t is therefore important
to know just how effective lightning
rods are in saving buildings from
damage during thunderstorms. Do
they help ward OF lightning strokes.
or, when building Is struck. do they
reduce the amount Of damage?
In order to ascertain from reliable
sources the actual figures as to the
efficacy of lightning rods in actual
use letters were sent to over 100
mutual fire insurance companies. in
a different states. Thirteen ques.
tions were asked, and the companies
were requested to give any additional
data that might DO at hand.
Data From Fifteen States.
Data that could be used was fur
nished by $50 different companies do
ing business in IL different states
The reports show that these com
panies have close to 100000 farm
buildings insured. valued at between
$3.50. 100000 and $500. 100000. As near
ly as can be determined one-third Of
the farm buildings In these states, o,
at least insured ~ the companies re
porting, are equipped with lightning
rods. I
The largest number Of these re
ports were received from Ohio. Indi
ana. Illinois, and Missouri. where the
number of rodded buildings will run
about so per cent. 7

10 different companies in. Ontario in
1912, he found that the efficiency Of
the rods in that year was 941s per
cent.
This investigation was continued by
him In 1913 with 40 companies keep
ing special records, with finding Of
81 per cent In the efficiency Of the
lightning rod in preventing lightning
strokes. This, after taking into prop.
er consideration the percentage Of
rodded buildings.
He then carried this inquiry into
Iowa and Michigan. with the result
OF 98.7 per cent in the former and
99.9 per cent in the latter state in
the efficiency Of the properly erected
lightning rod in preventing lightning
strokes. His conclusion then is that
the chief function Of the lightning rod
is to prevent strokes from occurring.
Must Be Properly Erected.
The all-important thing is to have
a continuous conductor from the
highest points of the building to moist
earth beneath. There must be nc

tfonal and not always dramatic. Wis
consin has just completed grouping
of routine disasters. The narrative
which results is at once spectacular
and arousing. 1t reveals a moral
whose meaning all will heed. e. H.
Downey has counted the Industrial ac-
cidents which occurred during the or
binary course OF business in Wiscon-
sin from July I, 1912, until Dec. 81,
1914. The histories of $4,000 acct
dents resulting in temporary disabil.
ity, permanent Injury and death are
recorded. The conclusions are start
ling.
During 1914 alone, 11,157 serious
accidents were reported. These do
not include the mishaps on railroads
or in industries not covered by the
workmen's compensation law. The
years record IL as follows:
$500 working years were lost.
100000 in potential wages was lost
116 wives were widowed.
220 dependent children were rendered
fatherless.
464 men were manned for life.
IL work people we're permanently
famed.
SO lost one eye.
400 have lost fingers in whole or part
400 sustained broken legs or arms.
700 suffered lesser fractures.
5000 were disabled for more than
four weeks.

"The full meaning of accidental in
juries cannot be expressed in money
terms. There Is no cash equivalent
for human suffering.
"The gruesome record is nowise ex

Congressman Stevenson took a
fall out Of President Wilson and the
democratic majority when in a speech
on th floor of the house the other day
he charged that the democrats claim
1 that a war tax was necessary be-
cause imports had decreased owing to
the war, was false. The statement, Z
said Mr.. Stevenson, has been re-
peated during debate, and IS found
in official conamunica tions. Yet it is
simply a fallacy as the figures from
the department reports will show
Mr.. Stevenson then furnished Stats
tics seeking to support his conten-
ton. 1T is about time that the
democratic leaders admitted the
truth" said Mr.. Stevenson. "You
may as we'll do it, because sooner or
later you must acknowledge the facts
that miscalculation and plumbers de-
creased our revenues, not any mis-
fortune because Of the European
war" H,st2 & Ill.,.
Mr.. Stevenson is not in the habit
of making statements that he can not
back up with facts and figures and he
has no doubt given the opposition
party a. hard nut to crack. A war
tax without a war does not sound
just right. ....s s#5

n 1t was about time that this gov
ernnent .braced up a little and made
its protest to Great Britain for seiz-
ure Of American shipping and delays
to It's commerce by the British fleet,
contrary to internat ional law and the
agreements Of the Hague tribunal.
The losses sustained by American
merchants by reason Q this unwar-
ranted interference with our COM
inerce foots up into millions Of dol
lars. Not less than twelve Norwe-
gian and Danish ships with meat
from the Chicago stock yards valued
at Sc, 350,00O, have been seized in the
last six weeks and thir cargoes de-
clared conditional contraband and
seized. And there are numerous
such cases. Holland and the Scandi-
tnavian countries are in the same pre-
:dican1ent as the United States and
their governments have entered simi-
lar protests. Because England rules
the seas she thinks she has the right
of search Of all vessels that sail the
seas, whether Of neutrals or belliger-
.ents and whether carrying contra
band or not. was England's claim
to the right Of search that led to the
war. of 1872 and unless she relents
allneutrals may be forced into the
conflict against her.
