Law HonOrs Heroes


When Roger Waters. a workman EN-.
ployed by a building foundation company
went to the rescue Of an employe Of an.
other company who was buried in cave-in
he voluntarily risked his life and was killed
He did not wait for orders. Nothing in his
contract required him to try to save the
other man. He was brave and generous
by instinct, and he acted from natural
sense of duty to his fellows. And he lost
his life.
In unfolding the award made by the
Workmen's Compensation commission for
Waters death the court of appeals took the
just and reasonable view. Waters did
what every employer in the circums tances
would look for his men to do. The emer-
gency prompted him to render aid in a way
that a self.respecting employer should
praise and gladly reward. not condemn out
Of selfish regard for his own pocket.
There is growing disposition on the
part Of the courts to be more humane in
their Interpretation of laws for the protec-
ton Of workmen. In former days it would
have been sufficient to prove that Waters
did not come to his death through the negli-
gence of his employer. 1t was actually
contended by the company that employed
Hiih anu the insurance COMPANY Which CAR
ried the insurance that his fatal injuries
did not result from his employment. On
that theory 1t would be necessary to look
for cowardice. not heroism or self-sacrifce.
from workmen facing danger. because their
employers demanded It.
The court of appeals makes short work
Of that supposition. 1T is inconceivabe
that any employer should expect or direct
his employees to stand still while the life Of
a fellow workman few feet away was i'm
perilled." 1t takes account of human ma
ture. 1t recognizes the moral responsible
ties assumed by men working side by side;
it justifes them and holds them up to en-
ployers who seek to evade the law as adj
mirable and praiseworthy.

Shay Signs With the Cubs.

Arthur ]. Shay, alias Marty" has
broken into the big show, and fur
thermore has upset all local calcula-
tions by signing with the Chicago
Nationals with whom he played his
first game Saturday. A look at the
box score shows that the former local
pastimer was not in the least abashed
by being in the limelight. Out OF
six hits gathered by Chicago from
off Demaree of Philadelphia, Marty
pushed out two of them. He also
had a perfect day in the short field,
with two putouts and three assists.
The summary shows him as figuring
in a double play. Although Chicago
received a 6 to trimming, the box
score would indicate that Shay was
still playing the brand of ball he Of
fered for the fans of st. Johnsbury.
DR.. w. B. Fitch was in Boston,
Saturday, and while there he was
given to understand that Marty had
offers from the New York Giants, as
well as St. Louis and Chicago, but
that these teams would not have CIV
en- him an immediate try-out had he
joined them. While Shay was IL
Boston the Chicago management or
fered him a good-sized salary on
years contract and an immediate try
out, so Marty crawled in under the
big tent It is understood also tha'
before signing up with the Cubs
Manager Tinker. gave Shay work
out with the team in the Braves
park in Boston, and that the result
of the demonstration carried weight
with the Chicago management.

Too Proud TO Fight.

The war department refuses 10
make public the details of the attack
upon the United States soldiers at
san Ignacio, Texas, american terri
tory by Mexican soldiers, and has
claimed the attack was made by cow
bows. The Boston Transcript pub
fishes the following account printed
in a Mexican newspaper. 1t reads;
The revolutionary chief who oper-
ates in those parts today communl-
Gated the following to headquarters:
Having learned that the point called
San Ignacio was occupied by a de-
tachment of the Ninth Regiment
(American), and the said point being
the first objective of my campaign, 1
decided to make a formal attack on
the morning of the 18th, with that
object making my dispositions before
hand. and in the following manner:
On the west of the town l placed a
body of cavalry, under the command
of a lieutenant colonel, to demonstrate
against the principal positions, to at
tract the attention of the enemy while
from the north, south and east a grea'
number of men advanced with orders
to take the town with nre ana sworn

sided than even they expected.
since the canvass started there
has never been a minute when either
Gates or Fletcher stood even a
shadow of a show. They were told
so by their friends, or at least Fletch-

sisted on going in against their ADVICE
and he has gotten licked little
worse than he was told he would De.
1t was not the popularity OF Page
that gave him his vote, but the un-
popularity of Fletcher. Mr.. FLETCHER
whose ability is unquestioned, mas
violated Vermont precedent and Of
Tended Vermont traditions and is
hated not only for some things he
has done but mostly for the way he
has done them.
Not many men are able to vote
for a man whom they dislike. In
this canvass Fletcher was up against
this insufferable obstacle. He tried
to force a reaction in his favor and
got hit by the buzz-saw.
He ought to have known better
than to have gone into the race, but
seeing he didn't he had to be told
He has probably heard now.
We shall not attempt to improve
on Mr.. Howe We simply express
the hope that Vermont will never
again sell political honors to an out
slider who comes here for the avowed
purpose of getting such honors with
out money if possible, but with i'm
mense amounts of money if necessary
