Mr.. Taft's Report.
From the New York Post.

EIOil Glc ICh L oSSs
ES-President Taft's report on the pop
ular sentiment for the League of Nations
is based upon personal contact with rep
resentative citizens in a third of the
states. 1t is always easy to get together
a group Of men and women to favor or to
oppose any conceivable project, and if the
Taft party had attempted no more than
this. it's verdict would not be worth at
tention. But the noteworthy feature Of
all of'the ratification conventions which
Nj. Taft and his associates hay been
attending is the prominence and the char
acter of the local members who have had
a part in them. THE names Of those in
charge Of the arrangements or on the
program, IN state after state, are the
cseam of the state'E Who's Who" 1t
is not a threat. but s simple statement Of
fact, that MIR. TAFT makes in his re.narh:
The decision now rests with the A1nerl-
can people, by whose judgment in the
last analysis the menbers Of the United
states Senate will be guided Interest
ing confirmation of his view is afforded
by a survey, For President in 1920 a2-
pearing in the Oregon Voter. from which
we take two extracts:
The mention of a arouses more
enthusiasm than does the name OF
Hughes, largely because the League
creation and the further fact that i!e
has supported President Wilson'S adj
yocacy Of the league idea.

workmen,s Conversation for Burns.

FROM vest s DOCKET.
Miguel Duarte was employed as 4 house
Wrecker. He was also a ciSaret smoker.
In the course Of his employment he ran
a nail into the palm Of his hand, and a
bandage soaked in turpentine was wrap
ned around it to relieve the pain. He con-
tinued to work. and. while striking g
match to light a cigaret, ignited the band
age and severely burned his hand. The
Industrial Accident Commission Of Cali
fornia awarded him compensation there
for, and the employer asked review by the
court. The court Of appeals affirmed the
award. and the matter was then trans
ferred to the California supreme court.
This tribunal adopts the opinion of the
court OF appeals in connection with a
short statement of it's oYn, ell Of which
is published in 173 Pacific Reporter, 1105,

1t was contended that tn lighting the
cigaret Duarte was merely ministering to
his own wants arising from the self-cre-
ated and not a natural appetite. Re
ferring to this, the court says: THE ar
guElent does not appeal TO us. In an en-
deavor to determine what indulgences of
human beings are responsive to the de-
