one of the largest problems that our government will be called on to face in the not very distant future Is that of depising methods for inaugurating a social insurance for the benefit and protection of the masses. who form the substance. the backbone. the strength. of the nation.
 By social insurance Is meant insur lnce against sickness, injury. unem- |. U ment and old age. That this form o- protective insurance will ultimately become national demand, unless ,nere should occur by some unforeseen chance. a radical change in the exist who are inclined to open their eyes 10 the influences and effects of pres ent day conditions.
 4noeed. nothing has been more clear ly demonstrated than the necessity for lttws of that nature-laws that will g.ant a measure of protection to those wnose ldbors are the primal factor in the progress and prosperity of the na- ton.
 mat feasible legislation of this char acter is not a Utopian dream, an idle speculation, has long ago been demon strated to be not only feasible but also practical. Several countries have al- ready inaugurated social insurance ss stems on a limited scale with emil nent success. Three or four countries have displayed a strong tendency to- ward the enactment of legislation tend ed to relieve the masses from distress caused by physical disability, unem- ployment and old age and in nearly every case where laws of such nature have been provided they have proven not only benefit to the individual but true in Germany where the unemploy- ment insurance system has been thor oughly tested and found a vast relief from many of the inhibitiye features ot modern industrialism. New Zea- land has also adopted variety of laws of equal or kindred nature and has brought about a marvellous change in economic and industrial conditions and at the same time has abolished the bread line and the poorhouse
 We, ourselves have already taken the initial steps in the direction Of social insurance in our workmen's compensation acts. mothers pensions and, in less direct sense, in our em- ployers liability acts. all of which are trending toward broader and mors compf fehensive laws which will ulti- n.ately become national.
 u significant of all the many in- dications that this form of government paternalism will shortly become a na- tional issue is that the republican par .y has already brought the social In- sLrance question into the field of prac- tical politics in such manner that 1t may possibly exert an important infiu- ence on the coming campaign. ..1
 It Is fast becoming a matter of active realization that there Is a duty owed to the toiling masses of the nation Jpon whom Is cast the burden of sus- taining the government and the na- tion; who are depended upon to per- form the labor upon which Is based all industrial progress-which alone in- ures the progress and we'll being of a nation.
 It is beginning to be understood that those who labor at the blow and wheel,
