Workmen's Compensation.
Review Of Nine Years Operation Of
the Wainwright Law.

To THE NEW York HERALD II is now
practically nine years since the legal
enactment of the so-called Wainwright
workmen's compensation law. The COM
mission reporting the measure declared
that the old common law system rested
upon "a basis that is economically un-
wise and unfair. and that in operation
1t is wasteful. uncertain and productive
of antagonism between workmen and
employers" and II was stated that mot
the least of the motives moving us is
the hope that by these means a source
of antagonisin between employer and
employed. pregnant with danger for the
State, may be eliminated"
Has any one noticed the elimination? I?
Was there ever period in the history
Of this State when group antagonisrn
was more manifest than in the election
of Tuesday? Note the spirit of the law,
as given out by the commission. and
ask yourself as an intelligent citizen
IL there were legitimate grounds OF hope.
These results can, we think" say tho
commission. "be best avoided by COM
pelling the employer to share the acci-
dent burden in lntrinsically dangerous
trades. since by fixing the price of his
product the shock of the accident may
be borne by the community" In other
words. II proposes TO shift to the COM
munity the burden of accidents. whether
produced by fault or otherwise, under
the pretext OF compelling the master to

Western Jockeys at the Top.

Like SANDE and FAToR, ALBERT
JOHNSON. the jockey who has won
so many of the American racing
classics this year and is now in
Baltimore. hospital with pneumonia,
is a product OF the far West and was
developed by STUART POLK, turfman
and ex-cowboy.
He began his series of victories
this year by winning with Norwich
in the Kentucky Derby. He followed
with sensational rides on that glori-
Gus old campaigner Exterminator,
taking race after race with the Kill
mer gelding and sharing with him
the distinction of defeating the crack
four-year-old Grey Lag in the Brook
lyn Handicap. That race stands out
conspicuously, as 1t marked the very
height Of Exterminator's form.
JOHNSON played strong part in
overcoming the champion of the Ran
cocas Stable by the narrowest of
margins. He had ridden other good
races, but that performance made
his position secure. He was regarded
as second to none, not even SANDE,
who by common consent was at the
top of the jockey ladder at the time.
During the Saratoga meeting he
won many of the big prizes, taking
the cup on Exterminator in a des-
perate race with Mad Halter. At
Belmont Park he won the Futurity
with Sally's Alley, while during the
meeting OF the Maryland Jockey Club
he won both divisions of the Pimlico
Futurity with Blossom Time and
Sally's Alley.
JOHNSON has the faculty Of MAX
ing horses run. He gets the speed
out OF his mounts without undue
punishment. His early education on
the plains--like SANpE and FAToR
he knocked about the range on COW
ponies long before he thought of
being a jockey-serves him in good
stead now. His horsemanship has a
fearless quality which is helpful in
big fields.
There was a time when our best
riders were born in the East. OF
recent years jockeys from the middle
West and the Pacific coast States
have been in the lead.

Mussolini's Way.

The boss OF Italy is Napoleonie in
method as we'll as In looks.
''You see," said MUssoLINI to THE
New York HEeALD's correspondent
in Rome, II am submitting matters
TO the Chamber. but with such a
Chamber it may be necessary to con-
tinue the dictatorship"
In other words, the Government
may proceed along constitutional
lines so long as its progress suits
the dictator. MUssoLINI will not be
the State so long as the State acts
as MUssoLINI would act. This is
typically Napoleonic.
But what American executive,
whether the legislative body beneath
him be a Congress or a board of
aldermen, has not sometimes secretly
wished for the powers of dictator?

To THE NEW York HERALD: May an
ex-New Yorker be permitted to challenge
the statements attributed TO Senator
Carayay after one OF those familiar tours
of several weeks in France, Germany,
Austria, Switzerland, Czecho-Slovakia.
Serbia, Jugo-Slavia and Italy?

agree with impressions which / have
gathered since the. armistice. After mo-
toring tours of France during period
of five months. when the smallest towns
were visited the idea of Senator Cara

of Europe" never occurred to me.
The French people are working, saw
ing and investing in Government bonds
as no other people have done since the
armlstice. The farmers save in every
way and lend to the state to repair
the devastation done by the Germans.

spent and the job has only begun.

Berlin. Nov. le.
Mrsf Carrie Chapman Gait. speaking
In the Reichstag CHAMBER to-day. urged
handful OF English speaking German
women to join the crusade and finish
the work of emancipating the women OF
the world. She declared that she was
in Europe to reweave the threads or the
International Suffrage Organization,
which were broken by the war; and that
then with a well knit organization she
hoped to set free the women OF France.
Spain, Italy and other countries where
they are still in bondage.
"rhe two greatest results of the war;"
said Mrs. Gait; were the democratiza-
tion OF European governments and the
emancipation of women. But women
will never again have the same romantic
faith in men. The men OF the world
have made such a tragic mess of things
that no one knows yet how 1t will come
out"
The speaker pictured what she called
the dark pre-war days when suffragettes
In Vienna and elsewhere were obliged
to hold whispered meetings in deepest
secrecy. She said that influential Amer
lean women were ready to help solve
the troubles of Central Europe, and that
they have about decided to begin by
solving the coal question, which Is un-
derstood TO be the most vital problem
this winter.
Mrs. Gait was introduced by Frau
Adele Schreiber- Kreiger, Socialist Dep
uty and president of the Women's
League of Social Welfare Workers of
Greater Berlin, under whose auspices
the meeting was held. Frau Schreiber-
