uNNoTIcED HEROES.

There are heroes who have never
Heard the fearful din of battle,
Heroes who, unknown, forever.
Labor where no sabres rattle;
There are heroes who are giving
Joy to others day by day,
Who are making life worth living
Just by earning honest pay.
There are heroes who are wearing
No bright medals for their merit;
Heroes who may not be sharing
Splendor that the proud inherit:
There are heroes who prefer the
Tasks Of riEhting wrongful things.
And thus make themselves more worthy
Than the pampered sons of kings
There are heroes. accomplishing,
Who are striving daily, yearly.
So the goals We would be gaining
May each morning shine more clearly;
There are heroes, unrewarded.
Who, by toiling late and long
In surroundings that are sordid
Help the luckless to be strong.
There are heroes with wan faces,
Who uplift their fallen brothers.;
Heroes who, in lowly places.
Labor for the love of others.
Why not pause sometimes to cheer them
For the courage they reveal?
Why not willingly revere them
For their patience and their zeal?

STATE INDUSTRIAL INSURANCE.

During the last session Of the
state legislature two similar bills
were introduced providing for the
creation of an insurance commission
to administer an insurance fund
under state supervision to cover COM
pensation to injured workmen. This
fund was to be obtained by taxation
of the various industries according to
the hazard and was to displace the
present workmen's compensation
law.
Under the proposed system, pri-
vate insurance companies were to be
entirely eliminated in so far as in
dustrial accidents were concerned,
and it is needless to say that the
powerful lobby conducted by the in
surance agents was responsible for
the failure to pass the bill.
A concrete example of the efficacy
of state industrial insurance is found
in perusal of the annual report OF
the Pennsylvania workmen's lnsur-
ance fund, which is similar to that
which was proposed in this state. An
idea is also obtained of the enor-
nous profits made by insurance COM
panies through accidents to work
men.
The report shows that the net in
come of the fund for 1916 was
$803,543. and it is predicted that
this year it will far exceed million.
The total expenses for the year
were $138,125. or IT'S per cent of
the annual premium income of the
fund. Nearly 100000 was returned
to policy holders, and the reserve at
the end of the year was $472,S75.
State industrial insurance funds in
other states have also proved very
successful, far more beneficial to
workers and less expensive to en-
ployers, and agitation should be
started early by labor organizations
so that legislators favorable to such
a proposition may be elected next
year. -

has been performed and a habit OF
saving acquired.
The ultimate result of this war
will be victory for America, but what
the effects of the war will be upon
America and American people Is un-
known. When such a future con-
fronts us prudence demands that we
provide for contingencies. No one
knows how great a help savings in
vested in a Liberty Loan Bond may
be few years hence. And ones saw
ings not only will be secure but will
be constantly bringing in interest.
There are other possibilities
they might better be called probabili-
ties-and one is that the Liberty
Loan Bonds, when peace comes and
money now in active industrial use
will be seeking quiet investment,
may bring premium.

A CLEVELAND PROBLEM.

The Public: Attention is called to
the fact that the Cleveland Chamber
of Commerce after an investigation
announced that 10000 new dwellings,
to rent under $22 month, were
needed at once. Coincident with this
is the statement-but not by the
Cleveland Chamber of Commerce
that there are $4,000 vacant building
sites IN the city, held largely by men,
bers of the real estate board and the
Chamber of Commerce for speculat-
i've purposes. An attempt is reported
looking to the organization of a COM
pany of employers to build 100 to 200
such houses. Two hundred houses
will not have much effect in meeting
the demand Of 10000 families, but it
Will have an appreciate effect in in
creasing the demand for lots. How
long is this to continue? BY what
right does any man hold a building
site vacant while another lacks a
place to shelter his family? The set
tlement Of this question awaits only
the conclusion of the war; Both the
need for revenue and the demand for
food point to the taxation of land
values. and the lesson learned in war
must not be forgotten in peace.

THE SHAME OF INDIA,

Milwaukee Daily News: The cry for
justice by outraged India has come to
the ears Of President Wilson. When
he spoke Of the rights of nations
great and SMALL" those who know the
heavy burden of the native East In
dian were moved to wonder if his
cause would be urged when the ma
tions confer on future rights after the
war;
India now offers 100000 men to
! the allied cause if the civil rights al
ready given Canada and Australia by
Great Britain be given her. When it
is remembered that India was in a
state of much civilization, when Eu-
rope was not, that she possesses a
rich fund of history and philosop ply
from which the best of western ethics
is largely taken, it would only seem
just to give her what is her due.
The story of British rule in India is
not pleasant reading. There has been
persistent policy of intolerance of
Eastern ideals, and efforts made to
keep her ignorant that her place
among modern western civilized ma
tions might not be allotted her. In

Where the case of Belgium arouses

WHAT OTHER PAPERS SAY
LA TOILETTE AND ROOSEVELT

The. Illinois Tribune (Joliet): For
the past few weeks newspaper readers
have been treated to an unusual
amount of Hitriolic persiflage from the
tongue, pen and gesture of Theodore
Roosevelt. Most of his oratory has
been directed against Senator LaFol-
lette and the public officials who have
so far stood out against the conscrip-
ton Of thought which has been the
most insistent demand Of the agitat-
ors for an internal policy of blood and
iron. Roosevelt would enjoy seeing
the streets lined with housekeeping
young men-especially If the young
men were housekeeping in his honor.
The Colonel is, and always has been.
enamoured of the meme pomp and
circumstance of war: he loves the red
tape. the gilt embroidery, the I'M
thinking obedience and the sound Of
martial music. No one doubts his
most of us doubt his pretended omnis-
cience and his intelligence.
Senator La Toilette will lose moth
ing from Roosevelt's denunciatory
harangues. For many years Roosevelt
has been growing more and more
Bourbon in his thinking and in his
sympathies. He has always stood for
the right of the powerful to rule in
America and lately his whole View
point has become that of the Industrial
overlords and the landed gentry. It
is doubtful if he ever had an original
idea: and since the war began he has
not had good secondhand one Ia
Toilette. on the other hand, and in
spite Of his tendency to play to the
grandstand, has been the recognized
leader in social legislation in the
United States senate. He has led
many forlorn hopes for the working
people; he has sacrificed time. energy
and his own interests. for the cause Of
progress and democracy. Whatever
we may think of his stand upon war
questions, we must credit him with
an altruism that cannot be surpassed
by any public-or ex-public-official

ganized--more than twice the number
that had been organized in the history
of the society prior to January 1, 1917
In addition to the organization OF
many chapters in every state in the

THE VALUE OF THE HIKE.

Not only is physical training shown
to be valuable by it's effect on the
boys in camp, but the value OF the
long hike is notable to the civilian.
Walking is not INDUCED in by the
average American to the same extent
as it is by the European nations, and
the result is shown in the increased
sensitiveness of the American foot.
According to physicians the COM
plant of flat foot is less common in
any European country than it is here.
Lack Of exercise and above all walk
ing exercise is given as the reason.
The boys in the camps have had a
hard time with their feet. Several
have remarked, IT found the stunts
pretty tough on my feet. Otherwise

The remedy lies in comfortable
shoes-a requirement recognized by

ercise of the feet in gradually in
creased walking Hikes over the
roads in autumn are delightful and
invigorating. They are a change to
the motorist, since with the high
speeding car there is no chance to
enjoy the beauty Of the fall tints on

tremendous appetite. He therefore
does not question the unaccustomed

FREEZING IS ACCIDENTAL.

An important opinion was handed
down this week by the state supreme
court in the case of Joseph Niemi
against the Virginia & Rainy Lake
Lumber company for damages under
the workmen's compensation act.
The plaintiff worked in the de-
PENDANTS lumber camps and froze a
finger, necessitating amputation. He
sued for. compensation damages In
the district court and won, but the
verdict was appealed to the supreme
court by the lumber company, whose
attorneys claimed that freezing was
largely the fault of the individual.
The highest state court ruled that
any workman who is suffering loss
of employment through freezing
accident" is entitled to damages
under the compensation act, affirm
ing the verdict of the district court.
This decision is of the utmost i'm
portance to the northern part of the
state, where the numbering industry
flourishes, entailing the operation of
! many lumber camps. Cases of freez-
ing, and consequent Interpretation
from work are not uncommon, and to
say that these are the fault of the
individual is indeed absurd.
The lumber barons make enor-
nous profits in removing natures
wealth from the forests, and, in so
far as logging work is done in the
winter season when the hazards are
much greater to the workmen, 1t is
only just that these employers should
be compelled to provide the same re-
lief for victims of freezing accidents
as is exacted in other industries.
The decision of the supreme court
| is of vital interest to the vast army
of workmen in the lumber camps,
and will undoubtedly be applicable to
many cases in the future.

Immigrants and Trade Unions
BY REV. CHARLES STELZLE.

"Thim dagos is just spilin' this
country for us Americans" said
patriot, recently. This remark re-
veals some interesting phases of the
immigrant problem.
-Four hundred years ago the orig
inal Americans-the Indians-looked
with great disfavor upon the coming
of Foreigners" and they gave pretty
strenuous evidence of this disap-
prevail. Ever since that time, history
has been repeating itself. Those
whom the Indians hated scorned the
"riff-raff" which followed them.
These in turn despised the Germans,

But each incoming race has sue
ceeded in lifting itself out of the

American. The intermingling OF the
races has actually resulted in a bet
ter type of manhood than would have
been possible in the pure stock. The
ideal man will one day come out of
this mixture of blood.
IL - ScIcTd1ly SuppOSSU IHdt the
foreigners who have been pouring
into our country during recent years
really dominate the political and
economic life of the nation. As a
matter of fact, the percentage OF for
eign born in the United States was
! practically the same in 1910 that it
was forty years before. It is true
that there are many more foreigners
in America, and that it some cities
the percentages are greater, but as
whole the American is holding his
own in the matter of equal repre-
| sentation.
There is practically no danger to
the economic life of the nation
through the coming of the foreigner.
At any rate, the danger is no greater
than it was forty years ago. There
are other dangers in our social and
| in our political life, but safety from
them depends more upon the Ameri-
can than it does upon the immigrant.
The American must show the immi-
grant how to make the most of him
self. In this task the trade union
can help immensely. Indeed, the
trade union already touches the i'm
| migrant, directly, as no other organ
ization does. Here is job which
should engage the attention Of the
best statesmen in the labor move
ment.

AN ENCOURAGEMENT TO SAVE.

! In encouraging the people of Amer
lea to save, it is believed that the
Liberty Loan Bonds are going to per-
form an important function in our
national life. The small denomina-
tion of some of the bonds renders it
possible for the ordinary wage Garner
ito purchase one with the savings of
! few months, and the banks of the
country have undertaken to provide
for the purchase of these bonds in
small weekly or monthly payments.
BY devoting, each week or each
month, to the purchase of Liberty
Loan Bonds such little sums Of ready
money as are often frittered away
for useless things one not only can
acquire property that ranks among
the very best securities in the his
tory of the world. but can at the
same time feel that a patriotic duty
