INJURIES HAVE SET VALUE
Recompense for Loss of Hands or
Fingers Not Matter for Debate
In Europe.

According TO n scale of value fur
nished by the miners unions and min
ers' accident insurance companies OF
a European country, the loss of both
hands is valued at 100 per cent of the
ability TO earn a living. Losing the
right hand depreciates the value of an
individual as a worker 30 or so per
cent, while the loss of the left hand
represents from 60 to 20 per cent of
the earnings of both hands. The
thumb is reckOned to be worth from
20 to 80 per cent of the earnings. The
first finger of the right hand is valued
mt from II TO is per cent, that of
the left hand at from TO 1919 per
cent The middle finger is worth from
10 to 16 per cent. The third finger
stands least of all in value. although.
like other useless members Of the
it is surrounded by riches,
it's value is only from Z to o per cent.
The little finger is worth from Q TO
II per cent. The difference in the
percentages is Occasioned by the off
ference in the trade; the first finger
being. for instance. more valuable to
writer than a digger.

AN INSPIRING ADDRESS

The address of Congressman Her
sey at the State convention of the
Maine w. T. c. u, Thursday, may be
without exaggeration called inspiring.
His comparison between condi-
tions existing when the women of
this organization began their work
with what they are today was both
able and eloquent. 1t ought to slim
ulate effort in opposition to that
which is being made for the purpose
of weakening liquor legislation.
MIR. Hersey described the impossi-
bility of securing a repeal of the
Eighteenth Amendment but urged
that upholders of law must not sleep
at their post. He declared at if the
saloon may be able to control a ma
jority in Congress they can weaken
the enforcement laws and so drive
the voters to support the licensed
saloon. There is need throughout the
country Of just such straight from
the.shoulder talk as tLat which Mr..
Hersey made at Greenville.

INSULTS AMERICAN lNTELli-
GENCE

The shortage of suitable ammu-
milton in the Democratic camp could
scarcely be more ludicrously as well
as contemptibly exposed than was
done by Harrison of Mississippi in
the Senate when he criticised the
President for taking a vacation when
men who helped to win the war were
being auctioned off.
We insist that the man who con-
trolls the throttle of the engine run
ming our trains shall be sober, sane,
Clear-headed and of good vision
that he shall have his faculties nor-
NAL but alert; in other words that he
must keep fit. A chief executive OF
this great country surely ought to
keep in fully as good condition as the
engineer of the railroad train. To
suppose that the American people
would have it otherwise, to think
they are so benighted as to begrudge
the President after the long and Sc
we're strain which he has undergone
a few days of relaxation, diversions
as essential to Observation-Disclosures as
nourishing food to good health, is
really a deliberate insult to public in
tellgence. 1t would be beneath con-
tempt were it not that the insulter
has been sent by the State of Mis-
sissippi to represent it in the United
States Senate.
About the only important thing to
know about this performance is, does
this fellow. Harrison, represent the
, State of Mississippi and the Demo
cratic party?

Radford, Bishop of Goulburn, in an
address before the Governor General,

persons.
DR.. Radford said a standing Pacific

States, Japan, France and China
and perhaps Holland and India AS

He proposed that a federation be
formed of the groups of Pacific

which Australia, New Zealand and
Great Britain also would be repre-

Great Britain might find it desira BILE

task Of maintaining the prestige Of
the British Empire in the Pacific en-
tirely to Australia and New Zealand.
