CALIFORNIA A LABORATORY
FOR POLITICAL EXPERIMENT.
nonwealth That II Will Have 10
Pay.

Berkeley, Cal, Aug. 27.-Former
President Taft warned California to-
day that it was conducting a ~clinical
laboratory for social and political ex-
periments" for which 1t would have
to pay.
Other states, he declared, would
benefit at California's expense. Mr..
Taft spoke in the open air Greek the
ater at the University of California.
His speech was one of several on the
programme which he described as gen.
eral vaudeville.
You Of theNwest are more receptive
to new ideas than we," he said. This
state is a laboratory for political ex-
periments, which we in the east are
quite willing you should maintain. If
you are quite willing to pay the bills,
and you may be sure you will have
to pay them"

fuel and that there was evident engine
trouble. Later word was received
from Noank that boat OF the deecrip-
ton he'd been seen in the offing, but
then Il was not known there that the
boat had been stolen. The Reliance
went alongside wharf nc Beach

san TO make repairs. His actions
aroused the suspicious OF n woman and
she felt satisfied that the boat had
been stolen. She took a chance and
acted. With the aid Of her son she
strapped the man to n piazza post and
sent to Clinton for Sheriff Edgar
Watrous. The officer already had re-
ceived q description Of the stolen boat
and he placed the man, who refused to
give his own or an assumed name, un-
der arrest. When Sheriff wilcox ar
rived. the fellow waived his extradi-

The detective was paid a fee bic

The Union r1an.

Who is he !? How can you rec
ognize him What are his distin-
gushing traits?
He carries paid up card as evi-
dence of his membership in the un-
ion of his trade or industry. That
Is means of Identification.
The fellow who never contributes
anything to the cause of unionism,
yet insists that he is just as good a
union man as those who do Is a
fraud. He is a moocher, a pan
handler, with all the vices that be.
long to his trade. He always has
plenty of excuses; we all know him.
A real union man attends the
meetings of his organization when
ever possible. He knows that the
union Is business institution to
aid the worker In maint aiming and
improving conditions. He does
not expect business to run itself.
He gives his time his thought and
his money to the cause. The cause
of unionism does not suffer repoach
because of his conduct. -Ex.

THE MAN OF FORTY.
AS a Rule, He Still Thinks He Can Put
Off DoinQ Thinus.

AT the age of forty man has reached
a time Of life when it is hardly one
thing or the other The past years have
not been so many as To permit ore to
lay down his arms and retreat in quiet
to the shade. 1t is still not too late to
strive and perhaps TO achieve. On the
other hand, so much dusty road has
been Travelled that If one finds it has
not led him far on the way he meant to
go he can hardly delude himself with
the fancy that he can yet go back and
begin the journey anew. The pleasant
sense of super6uous time is gone; one
must hurry, and perhaps it is too late.
Then comes the grief of perceiving
the waste, the loss, the utter futility of
postponements. The world is full of
good and wonderful things What a
wealth of potential experience and emo
tions, and time and opportunity for so
little! And yet year after year one
goes on blindly and blandly putting off
to some more convenient or appropri-
ate time, to that impossible period
when all will be exactly right, things

Ohie Uniunists Oppose
Private Compensation

Columbus, o., Aug. l3-S State
Insurance Commissioner Taggart
has ruled that liability insurance
companies have a legal right to
write workmen's compensation ia
competition with the state compep-
sation fund.
The decision Is victory for the
private insurance companies in
their fight with the state industrial
commission and the Ohio state fed
Grafton of labor, which have insis
ted that the Ohio law barred all
private insurance companies.
Under the decision the private
companies will furnish employers
with the bond they are required to
post with the state industrial COM
mission as guarantee that he will
pay the states schedule of awards.
Then the insurance company, for a
certain amount, assumes the en-
ployers' risk. The industrial com
mission and the unionists point out
that under these circumstances in
jured workers will not receive the
prompt attention given them by the
state insurance fund and the pur-
poses of the compensation law are
destroyed.
President Voll and Secretary.
Treasurer Donnelly of the Ohio
state federation of labor have en-
ployed council and will carry In
surance Commissioner Taggart's s
decision to the courts. 1t Is possi-
BILE uuionists will initiate consti-
tutional amendment covering the
question.
Thomas J. Duffy, ex president of
the National Brotherhood of Oper-
ative Patters, who is a member of
the state industrial commission, re-
lated this Incident to shew the
methods employed by the private
companies:
A Niles man was killed and
under the state compensation law,
his widow was entitled to SO, 900.
The employer had put up the nee
essary bond with the state commits
sien and was having a liability in
surance company carry his COM
pensation for him.
There was only one thing for
the insurance company to do under
the law: Pay the widow the So 900
"The commission discovered
however, that agents of the insur
ance company had talked the widow
into settling for $1,000. The
commission promptly forced the
company to pay her So, ,000."

Pipes Frozen by Warm Spells

1t is curious fact that water pipes
under ground will often freeze during
the warm spell that follows cold
snap. The explanation made for this
interesting phenomenon Is that after
cold wave a large quantity of heat is
taken from the ground in the work of
changing the frozen moisture into wa
ter, and thus. on the principle of the
ice cream freezer, the pipe is chilled,
enough heat being taken from 1t to
freeze 1t.
