Mir. Taft Disapproves.
(Hartford Times. )

That Professor Taft continues to be a close student of Colonel Roosevelt, has been evident on repeated oc- casions of late, and that he keeps him much in mind is also evident in the address he delivered in Suff1eld when he told how Roosevelt had refused to suppor. a bill in the New York as- sembly because he deemed 1t uncon- stitutional. The incident prompted the remark What is the constitution between fricrids?" To this tale. Taft adds, "I sometimes think Mir Roose- welt is veering towards that view" More than one mar before now has said in his vehemence, Hang the constitution" and then proceeded to ignore it in much the same way as the Connecticut legislature ignored the merit of the merit law and manufactured a substitute, wi-bolt II crit. ~~t. .('.
 And f, om substitutes have sprung strange and wondrcus lans.4 No wonder MT Taft concludes, 'It is a great advantage t" have a res in rol;iics.'' and adds We have to much law in this country; we have had b5 coo enactm ents in four years.

Robert Lansing's Chance. Waterbury Republican,

A brief sketch of the life and legal accomplishments of the acting secre- tary of state, Robert Lansing, indicates that he has had unusual opportunities to qualify for the office which Mir. Bryan has chosen to vacate. There already seems to be some sentiment in favor of his advancement as Mir. Bryan's succ essor, for the remainder of the term. He has been the presi- dents closest counsellor in all the ne- gotiations between this country anl the belligerent powers since the out break of the wars abroad and he seems to enjoy the fullest confidence of the executive. It will not be sur prising to those who have followed developments at Washington to learn of his promotion.

is that it has been passed too much on the theory of wiuhing vote-."
 Whether the substitutes for Con- necticut's civil service law will prove vcte-winner remains to be seon. 1t possesses boomerang characteristics. and the fact that it was passed by a republican legislature apparently has not convinced Mir Taft, against his will, that the time has come whcr civil service should De sacri feed on the pie counter. When you young men and young women get into politics" he said, labor for a merit system in the federal govern ment, in the state, in the municipality. Our greatest business should pursue business principles"
 Thus does MT. Taft, without being specific, express his disapproval of recent republican tactics in Connec- ticut, and it is significant that he has chosen to do so in the same address in which he expresses some too strong confidence in T. R.

MARCONI AT WORK.

Dispatches from Italy received to- day reveal ina general way the use fullnessi of MT. Marconi, inventor of the wireless telegraph, to his country. He has put into operation an instru- ment designed so that wireless mes sages of the enemy may be inter cepted and which also guards against any spying on the messages of the Italians themselves. It was expected that when MT. Marconi left this coun- try for Italy, about three weeks ago, that an effort would be made to tor pedo the ship which carried him, thereby eliminating this man from the struggle. He has evidently gone to work quickly and is accomplishing a great deal.
 MT. Marconis invention will prob- ably prove to be of great value to his country It might even throw the balance of power toward Italy. Just what kind of machine he might concoct to accomplish unheard of re- suits is of course impossible to fore- cast The marvel of his recent wire- less invention is still .one if the won- ders of the world. .

Health Insurance
For n. Y. Workers

New York. Dec. 9-(Special)
American Association for Labor LIE
gislation made public today the text o.
a bill designed to establish in this
State system of health insurance
The measure will be introduced in the
State Legislature at the coming ses
sion, and it is intended to have it in.
PRODUCED also in the Legislatures of
other States in the near future The
bill has been drafted after long study
by the Social Insurance Committee of
the Association, and it's proposals fol-
low generally the lines of the British
and German systems, with suitable
adaptions to American conditions.
The general purpose of the measure
is to provide, at the joint expense of
the worker, the employer and the
State, for health insurance for the
worker, and for the medical care for
himself and his family. AS drafted.
the bill applies to all those engaged
in manual labor and to all others
earning less than $4,000 a month. 1t
would provide every insured worker
with medical care including nursing
attendance, hospital care, medical and
surgical supplies, and a cash benefit
maximum of tWenty-six weeks in a
year; to the wife it offers special care
at childbirth, and if she is also insur-
ed cash benefit for eight weeks; and
o the entire family it grants medical
care and funeral benefit on the
death of the insured wage Garner.
Employers and their employees, in
most cases, would contribute equally,
and the State would add one-fourth to
this sum. The actual amount of the
contributions is to be calculated with
references to wages and the cost of
benefits. 1t is claimed that these bene-
dts can be bought by the workers for
the amount many of them now spend
On funeral benefits alone.
The insurance would be carried by
mutual organizations of employers
and employees organized according to
localities and Industries and supervis-
ed by the State Social Insurance Com
mission created by the act. Employ
ers and employees would have an equal
voice in the administration and in the
adjustment of the contributions. Up
on specified conditions the existing
benefit societies maintained by en-
ployes or workmen may be approved
for the purposes of the act.
The Committee claims that if the
system is adopted it will improve the
workmen's health and consequently
his efficiency and that the sar itation
of factories will receive greater atten-
ton.
