DEFECTIVE MINE DRILLS.
Court Decision Fixing Responsibility
for Injury.

Plaintiff. as an employee engaged in
operating a drill in defendants mine,
did not assume the risk of being in
jured through breaking of the drill be-
cause it had been welded if the weld
ing was effectively done and he was
not apprised of that fact. This was
one point decided by the U. S. circuit
court of appeals, NINTH circuit. in
the recent case of Bowden VS.. Gold
Hunter Mining and Smelling Co. (252
Federal Reporter 3S9).
AS separate defense to liability
for the accident, the defendant COM
pany also unsuccessfully relied upon
a claim that the plaintiff had executed
a release covering his injuries. The
court held that, where an injured
worker gives a release at a time when
1t is mutually supposed that the in
juries are of minor character, the re-
lease will not hold good as against
other and serious injuries afterward
developed from the same cause.-En-

AN OPTOM|ST|C VIEW
BY SECRETARY GLASS
NOTHING IN SIGHT TO DISTURB
BUSINESS CONFIDENCE
SURPLUS OF CAPITAL.

(By Carter Glass, Secretary of the
Treasury.
A thing difficult of understanding is
the reactionary spirit which, in some
quarters, seems to have seized hold
of American business. 1t manifests
/ itself in gloomy and pessimistic
Iby conditions present or dscernible,
and in disposition to cavil at the
further expenditures the government
| is under the necessity of making in
order to liquidate the war.
Instead of days of dark foreboding,
these should be days of rejoicing, of
confidence and of high resolve. Am
erica is least injured of any of the
nations which took active part in the
death grapple with autocracy on the
soil of France and Flanders. Our
fields have not been devastated, our
homes and factories have not been
RACED, famine does not stalk among
us. In all material things the nation
is richer and stronger than it was be-
fore we went to war
Our Condition Compared.
Is the American spirit less courag.
eous than is the spirit of the French
or of the Belgians? France, sorrow
ing, but undaunted, has set about to
repair the wreck the ruthless invad-
er wrought, and refuses to view the
future darkly. Belgium, stripped of
all save honor, looks forward to the
on the ruins of the old. Shall Amer
lea, then, bend and groan under the
imaginings of burden which it
should bear lightly, if felt at all?
Sight never should be lost of the
fact that Americas war debt is sub
stantally all owed to the American
people Money to meet the interest
charges on it and eventually to pay
off the principal will flow back to the
sources whence it came. A national
debt of this character Is not burden
to cripple future business.
Plenty of Capital.
1t should be kept in mind also that
the issues of Liberty bonds were paid
for, or are being paid for almost en-
tirely by the current savings Of the
people. There was no impairment of
the capital which had accumulated
from the savings of former years.
More capital is available today for the
ever before in the history of the ma
ton. Moreover, it must be remem-
bered for at least two years prior to
the entrance of this country into war
American business enjoyed unprece-
denied prosperity, with enormous pro-
fits, untaXed beyond the normal lev
les.
In affecting the savings by means
of which they bought Liberty bonds,
the American people learned the les
sons of thrift, the benefits of which
win be felt by our children and our
children's children. The billion dollar
indemnity which Bismarck levied In
the belief that it would keep France
PROSTATE rejuvenated France and en-
abled her to become the chief STUN
bling block to Germanys dream of
world domination. SO Americas war
debt, if rightly viewed and rightly
handled, should make for the con-
tentment and prosperity of our peo-
pie To see in it an obstacle to bust

Chicago July 12.--Mrs. Vera Trep-

Rumored Friction Between Wilson
And Hitchcock Emphatically Denied

Washington, July 12.-Secretary to
the President Tumulty today issued
a statement enphatically denying xe-
ports that friction exists between
President Wilson and Senator Hitch
cock, of Nebraska, senior minority
member of the senate committee on
foreign relations.
Secretary Tumultys statement was
as follows:
The stories appearing in the
morning papers of a disagreement
between the president and Senator
Hitchcock are without the slightest
foundation. There has been no con-
ference between the president and
the democratic senators, either at the
White House or at the capitol, since
his return. What the newspapers re-
