Appeal from Jewell County.
REVERSED
Syllabus. BY the Court. Johnston, T. j.
1. The statute authorizing the main
tenance of action to recover damages
where the death of one results from the
wrongful act omission of another and
which provides a limitation as to the time
an action must be brought and as to the
amount of recovery (Civ. Code, Sec. 419.)
was not repealed by the employers liza
bility act laws 1911, oh. 239.) and as the
latter act contains no provisions limiting
the time within which actions shall be
brought under it to recover damages FOR
death negligently and wrongfully caused,
the limitation prescribed in the death
statute governs; and where the action is
not brought within two years after the
cause of action accrues 1t is barred
p As the provision of the death statute
referred to is limitation not only upon the
remedy but also upon the right, and as
the right is lost If the action is not brought
within the prescribed time, any represen-
tation agreement of agent of the
defendant which may have induced delay
will not estop the defendant from claiming
the benefit of the limitation.
All the Justices concurring.

The temptations against the soldiers morals
are more dreaded by the officers than the
enemy.
They realize that the Y. NJ. c. A., providing
clean, wholesome amusement and the nearest
approach to home environment is real in
fluence for the good and the morale of the
American soldier.
Pershing wants the "Y" Wilson wants it.
Lloyd George wants it. So does Poincare.
So do you, if you care to see the boys that are
fighting for you come back clean in health
and spirit.
The ''Y" is performing a work for the soldier
that is of untold value forAmerca and you.
Clean hearts, clean minds, clean bodies-and
little bit of cheer Isn't that worth while?
1t is your duty, as a citizen of Detroit, to help
raise DetrOits quota of 100000.
How much will you give? How will you give
it? When will you give it?

WAR AND THE ANTI-cHRIS-
TIANS. - To Jack Doyle; In your
letter to The Day Book you exclaim:
Don't depend on the Socialists Of
Europe to help you out. They are a.
bunch of wind bags who, after all
their talk about industrial freedom,
were the first to run a bayonet
through their Socialist brothers on
the opposite side.'
The tail has never been able to
wag the dog. And, if as you state,
the Socialists. were the first who
were sent to the front is correct, this
then can only be construed as. an adj
mission by you that the kaiser,
knowing them to be the true friends
of progress, placed them there, hop
ing they would be annihilated.
The United States, if necessary,
could raise an army Of 100000
men. Of this number 100000 are
Socialists, and these are scattered 0
throughout the country. What
would happen if they refused to obey
the orders of the war lords? But,
my friend, why did you stop with the
Socialists? How about Mason kill
ing Mason; Odd Fellows killing Odd
Fellows; K. P.'s killing K. P.'s; Cath
olics killing Catholics; PrOtestants
killing Protestants; and to have
priests and ministers of these So
called Christian cTeeds blessing the
shot and shell and praying to God for
victory, which, in itself, means the
greater murders, and these same
gentlemen profess to be the true dis
CipIes of the Lord who said: Thou
shalt not kill, Gas we SOW, so must
we reap" From this there is no es-
cape and the war in Europe is the
harvest that is being reaped after
nearly 1000 years Of the reign of
anti-Christ, for the good book says;

DAN WALLACE'S WORKPLACES,
people condemn that which they
know the least about. If w. N. had
listened a little longer to Dan Wal
lace when he delivered his forcefuI
and almost eloquent lecture, "Shang-
haied Into the European War" w. n.
would have discovered that Wallace,
the American, is now a soldier wreck
without toes on one foot, with $50
perfOratiOns in his lungs from
dOuble-gassing, a hole in his skull
bigger than a dollar and one eye
badly affected as a consequence of
his wounds.
Wallace stands up on his legs like
a man, his breadth of shoulder and
fOrceful delivery does not betray his
perforated lungs and bushy hair COW
eTs the broken skull. But his suffer-
ngs have reused and intensified his
interest in human welfare here and
now, hence the League of Humanity
he has organized.
Wallace survived his wounds be-
cause he has the physical constitu-
ton of an Arizona broncho-buster
built on a ScOtch-English heridity.
He was hoodwinked into the British
army, treated as a cold-footed, bleed
ing Yank, was saved from death by
blood poisoning when captured by
the Germans and today hates all war
and disparages all governments, that
are leading their people into it. He
tells the truth about them all.
Wallace has stopped over 200 men
from being shipped into beligerent
countries, where they would be i'm

The Smoke of the War

Nothing today is undergoing more Of a
change than our estimate Of the value Of
human life.
We are coming TO an entirely new view
on that question.
Good economists have told US for
years that our views and our actions are

that surround us
II we care for self-study we may see

We skim over the headlines OF the

the bloody battles being fought in Eu-

"Democracies are always in trouble"
said Mr.. Root, essaying to reassure Free
Russia in hef turbulent young days.
So is everything else that is alive.
The only place where there is no trou-
BILE is the grave.
There everything is peaceful There
are no bills to pay, no snubs TO suffer,
no pangs of unrequted love, no pains, no
aches. worries, or problems.
And the nearer man comes to being
dead one the less trouble he will have.
Trouble is function of life. 1t is a
symptom of change. II is an incident of
progress
Il came not TO bring peace, but
sword In the evolution of any truth
there are bound to be upheavals, over
tumings, downcastings. and quakes.
The course Of true love never did run
smooth OF course not. Love is life.
And life is trouble breeder.
The zone of life between sixteen and
twenty-six is full of hurricanes and vol
canoes. Life is roaring then.
democracy is growing nation A
monarchy, a government by absolutism,
has the deceptive perfection of death.
In self-government a people finds It
self, realizes its defects, and learns TO
self-amend them Absolutism never
knows how bad it is.
In America congress is always SQUAD
bling. the senate is always objecting,
newspapers are always exposing, preach
ers warning. politicians denouncing.
women complaining, soap-box orators
decaiming; we have prohibitionists, sin
gle takers, populists. greenbackers, free
silverites, socialists. the A. p. A., suf-
fragettes, anarchists, pacifsts the MI
nority is lively and vociferous no party,
even led by Gabriel and composed of an
gels, would be allowed TO manage things
in peace.
Because America Is alive, surging with
tides Of strength.
Mankind has always dreamed of mil
ennium, golden age. when there will
be no more strife of tongues, nor diff
ferences of opinion. 1t is a childish
hope.
Our goal is not dead uniformity
Rather we should seek the liveliest diver
sity, the utmost, untrammeled freedom
Of thought, and unity only in service and
the humanities.
The coming world government by
which We shall secure permanent peace,
will not be by having one only political
organization, but by securing to many
small nations their integrity and right Of
protest, while maintaining law and order
thru cooperation.
The function Of the majority Is to
effect unity OF action. Unity of opinion
is the unsafest of all conditions.
The theory of Prussia Is to suppress
the man who opposes the government.
The theory Of democracy is to hire him
