Brandeis, in his address before the National Conference cuts like a knife through a mass of por ym One year —— li of Charitios and Corrections, plexing problems. He says that duty and decency must mpl with industrial accidents, death and premature old He says that if the state or employer bas to bear the money cost, | wanton waste of human life and limb will be too costly to continue, As it is now, the worker bears the pain and the coat, too. | Leave the worker the pain and throw the cost on the employer or the state, says Brandets, and there won't be so much pain to be borne—nor so many widows and orphans. He tells us that 100 men were killed or injured In Tinols In one year by setscrews that protruded from whirling shafting. Yet tt only costs 36 cents to sink one of these screws so that it cannot catch the clothing of the workmen. So long as the workman must bear both the pain and the money loss of accident, we are content to point out to him the deadly set- screw and tell him to “be careful. And when he is burt, we blame him | for his carelessness, | Now, says Brandeis, if we had to pay for the lost time or the) Jost arm or the lost life, we would fix the machine first and bid the man be careful afterw In other words, charity should be relleved of duty, and common sense, common prudence, common humanity summoned. And, recognizing the weakness of human nature, he says that this) Appeal must be made through the pocketbook When accidents become too costly they will be avolded When the employer knows that to take a child daborer and woar him out before his time merely means a pensioner, instead of a work ingman, on the pay roll, then and then only will the waste of human Deings be checked. This is real conservation. charity in man INSURGENT GOVERNOR BASS of New Hampshire got his public utilities bill thro’ the legislature, but his counctl refuses to confirm the insurgents he wants on the commission, It Is an old and scheme to beat a reform law by putting it tnto the hands @f men who won't enforce it. But, Bass is onto the scheme, The Character of Madero ‘The new man in Mexico has shown no great qualities as a soldier, perhaps because the opportunity was not presented. The test of bis ability as a statesman ia yet to come. But it Is clear that he Is the man who uahorsed Porfirio Diaz, and that -be thereby wrote his name|* @eeply into the history of his country, and becomes, for a tin at least, a character of world-wide interest. He seems, on the whole, a rather noble figure, not mercenary or sel fish, but earnestly devoted to high Id of government and soclety. He has shown on many occasions rare diplomatic ability and gentle Rese of character. It is not difficult, to believe that he wants a per- fectly fair election, and that if someone else should finally be pre ferred for the presidency, he would acquiesce in good faith, Thi ts @N optimistic view, subject to revision as events unfold, but justified by what we now know of the man It is true that he fs an aristocrat, a millionaire and a member of one of the greatest land-bolding families in Mexico, It by no means follows, as many in the United States seem to believe, that he is neces- sartly opposed to radical policies that would benefit the masses. George Washington was one of the richest men tn America when he took com- mand of the revolutionary armies in opposition to most of the property interests of the time. Some of the leading socialists of today are| wealthy men who array themselves against “their class” | Madero ts entitled to confidence until tried and found wanting. | He bas spent his fortune lavishly for 9 cause that demands political | freedom, popular education and land for the people.

Still more recently you have seen him pursuing and smiting. bip and thigh, like some modern Samson, those Philistines that have been eharging you monopoly prices for the timothy fine-cut and alfalfa plug that were dear as very life itself to you. But these things, these victories, are-not all. On Wednesday last this bulwark of popular rights, this St. George of the octopus, this Samson of the nicotine oppressors, with hands still gory with the life current of billionaire sinners, with “sweeping victory” still perched upon his brow, with triumphant fengeance for public wrongs still glow- ing in his mighty soul, went before the democratic house committee On expenditures in the department of justice, at Washington, and testi- fied, in substance, as follows: “I advised the United States Steel Trust, on several occasions, up to 1909. “I once got a $26,000 fee out of the Sugar Trust.” Let St. George, with his moth-eaten old dragon, crawl into his hole.

A Handy Little Fog for Everybody With one quick leap Archibald Watkins, who described himself a8 an “experienced inventor,” has bounded into fame of glorious hue, He has invented a fog, a dirigible fog. and he wants to seli it to the government to be used in, case of war, Mr. A. Watkins says that the use of his patent fog could be con- trolled with ease, and that in case of an attempted invasion either by land or sea, the fog could be sent out to surround the enemy and keep him, helpless, In the dark. Between wars it might be used whenever any papers are to be burned in the department of the interior. Or when the postmaster general is roping the southern delegates for 1912 And again, it might be loangd to some members of congress when they find it needful to meet the lords of finance in Wall st Also, it might be used with great eclat at Dugdale’s park any time after the fifth inning if the Giants are in the lead, and just before the fifth if the other fellows are ahead. ° AN devising a system of railways to connect al? parts of the empire watch the smoke as Pie-lander ©.
