A PERSONAL WORD.

Tears well up in the eyes throat fills up, heart
nears to breaking, as | think Of Edward w. Olson,
brave man and true, earnest, sincere cOnscien-
tious, stricken down by the murderOus hand of
one of those for whom he ever labOred toward
whom his heart warmed with the deepest sym
pathy.
| knew him well, as we'll, almost, | knew
anybody in this city. ! had worked for him and
with him, had studied his thoughts and aspira-
tons and hopes, and knew the yearning the man
had to aid the working in this state, to
that they were justly treated, to improve the con-
ditions under which they lived as well worked,
to get that measure Of happiness and recreation
for them that makes life worth living.
And then to see him stricken down by one of
those whom he so sought to help the horror of
it is prostrating
The day of his greatest accomplishments was
just dawning-the harvest time of his life
just at hand. The recent years had given him a
broader foundation, fuller development and
wider influence, had revealed the problems to be
met and had furnished him the experience and
courage to grapple with them and solve them. He
entering upon the fullness of his life work,
reaching the years when he would be able to do
those things he so desired to do.
Always retiring, always earnest, he was one of
the most conscientious public officials I ever
knew. Early and late he was at his desk, when
labor commissioner and then chairman Of the in
dustrial insurance commission working away joy
fully and eagerly at his tasks in behalf of the
workingman, his heart and mind and soul in his
every act and effort gladly, not grudgingly, did
he give himself to this work, honestly and sim
cerely and intensely did he strive, and hopefully
and willingly, too.
I wanted to tell you these things that you
might know something of the measure of the man
who is so tragically gone-but poorly can pay
tribute to his memory.

LOCKING THE STABLE DOOR.

All sorts Of suggestions are being made now, in
and out Of the legislature, as to what might be
done to prevent the recurrence Of the tragedy
which SO shocked the state the latter part Of last
week. The first to appear was bill to reinstate
capital punishment; the second, proposal that
permits be required before guns may be bought;
the third, a suggestion that if the workingmen as
well as the employers were compelled to contrib
ute to the industrial insurance fund, if even only
a small amount, there would be a. different atti-
tude toward the fund, sentiment the working
men themselves would exert so to prevent any
one of them getting the ideas Van Dell had
Capital punishment, in our opinion would not
have prevented Van Dells heinous act-he was
selfish ignorant brute determined to ''get even''
for fancied wrong done him, and fear of the
consequences would not have stopped him. Re-
strictions on the sale Of firearms might be
greater deterrent. But the other suggestion put
forward by the State Capitol Record, appears to
us to be mighty good one, for it strikes at the
root OF the problem, the attitude Of the working
men generally towards the industrial insurance
commission and the fund
The more ignorant of them appear to look upon
it as slush fund of some kind, administered
without any restrictions but the personal whims
Of the commissioners, out of which man will get
fiat wad" if he is injured and is wronged and
disseminated against if he does not get it. The
more intelligent wOrkingmen, of course know
differently, but in this instance as in every other
