Publishing Bo. ~Fnrered at Sent ¥ mil, out of wlty, shee ee Dependency @ Liability Parents of young men and women who are working are not dependent on their children in the state of Washington That was nailed down as a maxim and a rule by the state Supreme court this week. : This news was given out as a result of the suit of John Kanton and wife against Albert Kelly. Action of a lower court in dismissing the suit to recover damages for the death of their gon Michael, 19, was sustained. Our state court said that Kanton was only 46, that he has conducted a teaming, not to say teeming, business, and that he could hardly be termed a dependent. All of which may be true. But, for the benefit of society in general, a couple more truths might be stated without any harm at all. One is that & corporation or man employing people in dangerous or hazard Ous occupation does most certainly bear some responsibility when accident and death come to their employes. Perhaps it’s & financial responsibility, perhaps only a moral responsbility But, money damages to relatives of those injured or killed at labor’s treadmill might possibly make corporations more care- ful, more anxious to provide safeguards. : One more observation about that “dependent” proposition. Parents may not be dependent on their children. But those same children have a certain moral responsibility of their own to provide for the man and woman who cared for THE M when they were too young in years and strength to do it. ; In more ways than one every parent is dependent on his grown-up child. Incredible! President Taft's indorsement of Boss Cox’s ticket is the final horror. To support it at all (on the urgence and assurance of a Cox politician!) was terrible enough; but to support it against so fitting and courageous a candidate as Hunt—really, words fail, and we are driven to punctuation and italics, 2 ? ? ? ! ! 1 What is the president coming to? After such an exhibition ean he be even nominated? If there were an clection tomorrow, would not Woodrow Wilson carry Ohio against him over- whelmingly? We have been patient with Mr. Taft. The Payne ‘Aldrich tariff, the Ballinger iniquities, the use of patronage inst insurgents, the wool veto, the retention of Secretary ison and yolicitor McCabe, the turning of the postottice ent into a still more rigid political machine, the ruin of our relations with South America—in spite of blow after blow, we have clung to the hope that the president would im- prove sufficiently to have a general balance of usefulness to his country. For sheer imbecile lack of backbone this last outrage is the worst.—Editorial in Collier’s for November 18.
