A Husbands Pockets

From time whereof the memory of man run
meth not to the contrary wives have asserted their
right to go through their husbands pockets. Now
that right is upheld by judicial decision. One
highly important principle, asserted by the wife
in this case in her original complaint, remains in
doubt. The court did not touch the question of
the husbands obligation to hand over his pay
envelope unopened. The custom prevails in many
households. Sometimes it is based on the desire
OF the wage-earner to make the partner of his
bosom the treasurer of the domestic establish
ment Sometimes it is based upon the wife's
assumption that he is not fit to be trusted with
the spending OF money. In that event she takes
his whole pay and dolcs out to him enough for
what she thinks he ought to spend upon himself
often remorselessly cutting out such luxuries as
beer and tobacco. The husband may feel that
this is an indignity but who can doubt that il is
tor his own good. Man without woman's guild
ince is feeble creature at best He should be
grateful, not resentful TO have his financial afars
AIKEN capably in hand.
But if the miserable wretch objects to this form
,f uplift, il he wantony tears open the envelope
IS soon as.he gets it and extracts tLerefrom the
um which he judges suitable for his personal ex-
,enditurc is his wife Justified in searching his
pockets during his hours of sumberl The learned
udge says that she is. In the case before him
Nshcre was ample evidence that the husband had
appropriated to his own use an immoderate share
u his wages. Out Of SIS week he had been
giving her but $4 or IS. He tried to defend him
ielf by saying that he had taken his wife to the
movies twice in one year. you'll have to do bet
.er than that" remarked the magistrate. "lf a
wife can't get the money she needs any other way,
she has right TO pick her husbands pockets"
And he advised the recalcitrant defendant to give
lis wife $3.50 a week and buy her some candy
,nce in while. Half his wages is surely not too
much for him to hand over. No wonder he
,greed quickly with his adversary lest worse
hing befall. Il don't want to keep my pants on
sor a whole month";" he said. Let other stingy
husbands heed the warning They may have a
egal right to open the pay envelope; but they
must not extract from it more than their reason
sble share. Whether they or their wives are bet
ier entitled to decide what reasonable share may
be- is still. aiasl undetermined.

Progress Of Workm.n's Compensation.

Further report Of the action taken on the
workmens compensation bills at Lincoln indicate
some progress made--at least distinct rebuff to
the contingent fee brgadc-by the rejection of
their demand for an option, after injury for an
employe to sue or accept the allowance fixed by
law as he may be persuaded looks more profit
able to him. Then too, rcadjustmcnt OF the scale
Of benefits is in the direction Of what The Bee has
urged, namely, more generous treatment OF the
widows orphans or dependents OF those who
are killed or totally disabled by industrial
accidents.
The one loophoe which seems to us ques-
tionable is the establishment Of right to sue at
law wherever the employer may be charged with
willful or negligent nonobservance OF the safety
appliance act-which will be an invitation to make
such allegation upon the slightest pretext in order
to seek punitive damages instead of compensation.
Failure to provide required safety precautions
should not be overlooked, but it should bring
down criminal prosecution on the offender and the
penalty should be in the form Of fine collect
ible by the state rather than an extra payment to
the injured person.
1t is to be hoped the measure will be still fur
ther perfected as it goes through the remaining
stages of enactment.

Ertro Sessions of the Past

There is considerable specu1ation in official
circles as to whether President Wilson will get
all that he wants from the special session of con-
press summoned to meet next month. The record
Of the past extra sessions indicates that he will.
Nearly ali ~ me eytraord;narv sessions which
have been summoned have done the will of the
president. Nearly ali OF them have also trans
acted some other business than that for which

Mr.. Wilson's Tariff Commission.

Having fully adopted the republican plan for
tariff commission, the president has named a
board the outstanding feature Of which is the
apparent effort to make it nonpartisan in appear
ance and yet preserve its control by the demo-
crats. Three lame ducks" are cared for in its
composition and the other members have been
selected with care, that none may give offense
to the partisans Of democracy.
Professor Taussig Of the Harvard faculty,
chosen to head the board, will bring to it deep
theoretical knowledge of tariff, as well as an
understanding of the economic principles in
volved. He is unique stionably the man best versed
of all in American tariff history. E. P. Costigan,
who comes from Colorado, is known only locally
for his "uplift" activities and his participation in
the bull moose doings in his home state. Dave"
Lewis Of Maryland was one OF the radical REFORM
ers in congress- till the voters Of his home state
decided to retire him last fall. Congressman Kent
of California has made for himself reputation
as an independent thinker, yet with democratic
leanings, and vigorous fighter in whatever cause
he espouscs. dan" Roper Of South Carolina is a
dependable partisan democrat, who served as
clerk to the ways and means committee before
he became assistant postmaster general or, still
later, retired to help run the campaign for Will
sons reelection. When he assisted in framing
the Underwood tariff, all suggestions from manu-
iacturers was spurncd by the democrats, who felt
fully equal to determining any question involved
without the consent or advice OF anyone else. Cu-
bertson Of Kansas, the one republican named, is
qualified to some extent by his service as an in
vestigator for the Trade commission and his con-
sequent familiarity with American industries
Plenty OF work awaits the new board mem
bers and their opportunity to serve American
interests is unlimited, depending only on their
ability to free themselves from the chains of
theory and partsanship.

THE REVOLT IN RUSSIA.

The revolt in Russia is fact The car has
abdicated and new ruler sits on the throne.
Discussion OF how the uprising started and the
extent Of the changes it has wrought musf await
further details.
1t was not, however, altogether bolt from a
clear sky. Several weeks ago The Bee
pointed out some significant political movements
in Russia, with comment on the expressed deter
minaton of the liberal or popular element in the
Duma to vigorously oppose the bureaucracy,
which has had direction of the Russian admins
tration for so many years.
One feature Of the present popular upheaval
was forecasted at that time, and since has had
some emphasis in the news coming from Russia.
1t is the nefhcency Of the transportation system,
failure OF which has resulted in famine in parts
OF Russia, although immense stores of foodstuas
of all kinds are available within the limits of the
empire. Reforms in this regard were pledged by
the minister last fall, but have not been carried
out Similarly, other promises made by the
bureaucrats, under pressure Of popular displeas-
ure, have apparently been ignored or forgotten
till the patience Of the people is exhausted.
That the Duma has gained in popular strength
since its prorogation in 1915 was proven by the
first vote taken. after the body was called to-
gether last November. 1t was then shown that
a government majority Of nearly 800 had been
transformed into an opposition majority Of the
same size. Leaders who spoke for the govern
ment in 1915 took the rostrum in 1916 and argued
for the people. This warning of the rising tide
Of public displeasure has apparently been lost on
the reactionary arstocracy, in whose keeping the
administration of Russian affairs has so long been
left and through whose maladministration and
neglect so much Of misfortune has come to
Russia
The effect Of the revolt on the conduct OF the
war can only be subject Of speculation. Express
sions in the Duma have been in favor of giving
the army in the field full support Whether this
attitude is changed must be learned from later
deyelopments D..
