but l realize now, since Analysing the
Ford vote, that our greatest work is
to make the people see that Roosevelt
means peace and honor as well as pre-

out what the people want, and hen
make them see that the colonel means
it. You may feel with Mr.. Perkins that
there are two big things to look for
ward to-the integrity of the country
and a protective tariff" But if you
agree with him, you feel ever more
strongly that you should not bubble
W. definitions this time" Just lump
everything under a good-sounding
word like "Americanism"-"A tariff is
embraced in the word 'A~mericanism,'
as is also the nations integrity" The
main thing is that the Republicans
should nominate the man who bolted
the Republican nomination four years
ago. This, says Mr.. Perkins, will
make the Progressives "the happiest
people in this country" And what are
Republicans for except to make Pro
gressives-and especially one Progress

Trenton.-The judgment of the

Harry C. Hendee, a fireman on the
Wildwood, Delaware Bay & Short
Line Railroad, died from injuries sus-
tanned while serving in a volunteer
capacity and that the company was
consequently not responsible for dam
ages, was reversed in an opinion given
by Justice Swayze. of the Supreme
Court.
Hendee left the cab of his engine
to assist a brakeman in coupling cars
and while thus engaged received in
juries which caused his death. The
trial Court of Cape May county held
that this work was outside Hendee's
regular duties and that the company
was consequently free from RESPONSE
bility.
Justice Swayze quotes from the
rules of the company which provide
for the use of the fremen in other
than their regular capacities when the
occasion demands. He says that the
trial Judge took too narrow a view
in calling him a volunteer" A new
