HOW IT WORKS. Ohio has a
compulsory employe's insurance law.
Not long ago a driver for a Cincin
nati brewery, during high water, was
told by a saloonkeeper to deliver a
keg of beer by rolling.it into the back
yard instead of putting it into the
cellar. He reached his hand through
a hole in the gate to unhook the
latch and a bulldog grabbed'his hand.
The industrial commission of Ohio
has just decided that since the work
man Tvas injured in the course of em
ployment he is entitled to compensa
tion for his .injuries.
Before the former workmen's com
pensation act was in force Miller
could have sued the saloonkeeper and
the saloonkeeper would have said,
"Miller assumed the risk." Under the
later workman's compensation act
Miller could not have recovered from
his employer, the brewery, because
his employer had not been negligent
If he was successful in either suit his
lawyers would have paid the expens

their half of the verdict. Under the
state insurance -plan, Miller, who was
really hurt, gets full compensation
and the lawyers get nothing.

warships or mines. For destructive

DISCRIMINATION, ALL RIGHT.
There is a new drastic jitney ordi

corporation owns the street car lines
and other things.

enterprising newspapers have not
employed Old Doc Cook to report the
war?
The boy who believes he cannot lift
himself by the boot straps without
trying it seldom lifts himself in any
other way.
Dr. Lyman Abbott says it is easier
for a man to get rid of his wife than
It is of his cook; but who wants to get
rid of his cook?
They still claim there is nothing In

Holler turned state's evidence and
