For The Loboramg Man

During the past year go new labor
laws have been passed by congress and
the various state legislatures.
<One of the most important of these
new DAVIS is the one which prohibits the
shipment in interstate or foreign COM
merce of certain products in the pre-
paration Of which the labor of children
has been employed.
Another law which has considerable
bearing with the laboring classes pro-
vides for model scale of workingmens
compensation for personal injuries among
Federal employees. There are now more
than 100000 men employed by the
government.
The greater portion of the laws passed
by the state legislatures affect child
labor and it was time that some of the
states and especially those of the south
did something in that direction.
1t is commendable thing on the part
of the law makers of the land to re-
member the man who earns his daily
ibread by manual labor and with con-
sditions as they are at the present time
in many communities much more could
be done for the man or woman who tolls.

Why The Change?

Several years ago the railroad and
warehouse commission was changed
from an appointive to an elective office
and now Senator McGrath proposes to
introduce a bill in the next session of the
legislature to change it back to an ap-
.pointive Office.
Under the elective system we have
had many good men serving in the rail-
road and warehouse commission so why
not continue with the present method?
There is little use in changing things
around when once they are in good work.
ing order.
The legislature can perform many
good works without angling around for
so foolish a piece of work. Perhaps
McGrath wants the job and thinks that
he has a pulp with the governor, or
rather, the governor to be.

Hughes Has Nothing to Say

One of the most remarkable facts in the
present presidential campaign is the fact
that Mr.. Hughes seems to have nothing
to talk about in the speeches which he
has been delivering throughout the tour
An this section of the nation.
To be sure, he has made lengthy ad-
~nresses but outside of Knocking" the
present administration he has not made
ANY statements worth the while. He
has not stated any large policies, ad-
vocated any reforms which he would
make, nor dwelt at any length upon the
platform for which his party stands.
There are times when it behooves a
man to ''fknock" but a continuance of
that habit becomes distasteful, even to
his most intimate friends, and it has be-
come thus with the public so far as MIR.
Hughes is concerned.
He seems to have forgotten the verse
in the scriptures which says, IF thou
canst not speak we'll of thy brother,
thou shalt not speak evil of him."
New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1916-09-13

Thus far Mr.. Hughes has been sin.
gularly silent with respect to Mr.. VIII
sons treatment of the strike problem.
Possibly he has decided that he will not
begin to criticise this latest policy until
he has really decided what he would
have done in the same emergency. Such
a decision is quite creditable to Hughes. -
Mankoto Review.
Yes, and when Hughes does speak it
will have as much weight as have all of
his other arguments, thus far.

Noticing the extreme number OF auto
mobile accidents which have taken place
in the close proximity of New Ulm the
past week, the question Of where to
place the greater portion Of the blame,
now arises.
Who really is to blame?
Is it the condition of the roads? If
so what is to be done to remedy that
evil? For an evil it certainly is. Is it
poor construction Of the highways or is
it the fault OF the top dressing or finish
ing?
In travelling over the roads one often
sees huge piles of sod heaped up in the
center. This is simply fault of the
builder of the thoroughfares and oftimes
is the cause of automobile accidents.
Another prominent cause of numerous
fatal accidents is the mania for speed
This is perhaps the most prominent of
all and is the means of bringing about a
greater loss of life than any of the modern
death dealing devices.
Another cause is faulty construction
of machines. But where poor workman
ship is to blame for one death, dozens are
brought about through other agencies.
When drivers on country roads will
cease in attempting to equal the records
made on the race tracks of the nation
IL L.
rate of this country be lowered.
