State Has Written Golden Rule Into The
Treatment of Victims
Among the first and best fruits of Ohio's new freedom under its new
constitution is a model workmen's compensation law—a foundation of social
justice built BROAD and DEEP.
Framed carefully in the light of the best experience, this act marks new
outposts of American progress. It frankly assesses the human coßts of in
dustry upon those who benefit by them and decrees that the victims in our
battles of peace shall get recompense without toll to lawyers or speculators
in liability insurance.
It compels every public as well as private employer of more than five
workers, farmers only excepted, either to contribute to the state compensa
tion fund or give bond that he will compensate directly on the state's terms.
It compels this by depriving stubborn employers of the common law de
fenses and by subjecting them to the possibility of having to pay the state' 3
awards and a 50 PER CENT PENALTY.
The EMPLOYER PAYS ALL the insurance. The WORKERS PAYS
NOTHING.
Compensation for the death of an employe is from $1500 to $3750.
For permanent total disability, two-thirds of his average weekly wages,
not to exceed $12 a week, for life. »
•For temporary disability, same for six years or not to exceed $3750.
'For partial disability, two-thirds of the impairment of his earning capac
ity, but not more than $12 a week nor more than $3750 altogether.
Generous indemnity for lesser casualties—for example, loss of thumb,
two-thirds pay for 60 weeks; hand, same for 150 weeks; aim, same for 200
.weeks, other dismemberments in proportion.
Where an employer violates a state law, the injured employe need not ac
cept the state's award under this plan, but may sue for more, in which case
the court will FIX HIS ATTORNEY'S FEE—thus putting "ambulance chas
ing" lawyers out of business.
The writing of liability insurance in Ohio by private companies is PRO
HD3ITED ABSOLUTELY.
Ohio has profited by the experience of this state, where of each dollar
paid for liability insurance the injured workman got only 24 cents.
A Lad You Can Take Off Your Hat To
There's no need of your wasting sympathy on the poet Longfellow's
grandson, young Ned Dana, the Harvard graduate who is earning $10.50 a
week near Boston collecting nickels as a conductor of a trolley car, for he
wastes none on himself. He says:
"I think that doing nothing injures one's character. So I looked around
ifor work. A young man coming from college cannot always get a fine job just
because of his college sheepskin. When a fellow is out of work he should take
anything he can get. I'm not afraid of work. And I find I like the chaps I
work* with. They're a bully lot."
Dad could well afford to keep young Ned in clover, Dad has stacks of
money. But there are two reasons why he won't —dad himself and Ned. The
boy has a lot of notions which the family think are scandalous—he's against
rent and interest and profits, and when he got married he actually insisted
that his wife should have as much liberty as himself. That's perhaps in part
why dad isn't tumbling over himself with offers to pay the boy's bills.
But the chief reason is that the lad has a will of his own. He refuses to
be a loafer. \
So, we repeat, there's no need to sympathize with him. His isn't a case
ifor sympathy. But, by Jove, you can take off your hat to him.
A Lawyer
A lawyer should be the most honest of men, said Judge Chapman in dis
barring J. Matthew Murray in superior court yesterday afternoon.
And he is right. The difficulty has been that the court's ideas of what
should be have not been manifested in what is. There are too many lawyers
who live by sharp tricks. Possibly one reason for it is that there are too
many lawyers. ;
Fewer attorneys and higher quality would be better.
That this fact is beginning to be realized by the bar itself is indicated in
the disbarment proceedings now in the courts here. Legitimate lawyers are
getting tired of having the finger of public scorn pointed at them, for main
taining in their ranks notoriously disreputable sharpers who live by means
lower than highway robbery. j
The Pierce county bar should be encouraged in its attempt to purge itself
of crooked barristers.
Not Enough, But Some
Did you note that Utah is getting forward in the procession? She now has
a law providing that no woman or girl shall receive less than 75 cents per
day for her first year's service or less than $1.25 a day thereafter.
It isn't much of an advance, but it is some advance and every little step is
just a little bit further. Six' days at 75 cents is $4.50 per week and six days
at $1.25 is $7.50. Not much promotion of moral living in it, perhaps, but, re
member, it's Utah that shows the disposition to go ahead and you will be
Justified in hoping for better things from such great states as Ohio, Califor
nia and other progressives.

He raved at women's folly
In following the fads.
Declared, with melancholy,
His money went In scads
To sate his wifie's passion
For shoes and hats and those
Materials of fashion
Like lingerie and hose.
At corsets he was sneering,
At powder and at paint,
Tight shoes would set him jeering
With words not few or faint;
He laughed at bogus tresses;
He scorned the hobble akirt,
Condemning women's dresses
With vim and vigor curt.
LET'S SMILE AWHILE
Why He Was a Socialist.
Upton Sinclair tells this story
about a school address he once
made.
"It was a school of little boys,"
said Mr. Sinclair, "and I opened
my address by laying a five-dollar
bill upon the table.
' 'I am going to talk to you
boys about Socialism,' I said, 'and
when I finish the boy who gives
me the best reason for turning
socialist will get this five-dollar
bill.'
"Then I spoke for some twenty
minutes. The boys were all con
verted at the end. I began to
question them.
" 'Ydtt' are a socialist?' I said
to the boy nearest me.
' 'Yes, sir,' he replied.
" 'And why are you a social
ist?' I asked.
"He pointed to the five-dollar
bill, ',I'eqause I need the money, 1
he said.
What the Teacher Taught Him.
The small boy had just return
ed home after a most tumultuous
day at school.
"What lesson," asked his fath
er, "was the most Impressed on
you today by the teacher?"
"Dat I need a thicker pair of
pant*."
His Half.
When her divorce was granted
a woman said to the man who had
been her husband:
"Now, dear, I want to be gen
erous. I am willing to let you
have the baby half of the time."
"Good!" said he. "Splendid!"
"Yes," she resumed, "you may
Uave him nights."

So wifle dressed one morning
To please her hubby's taste,
All artifices scorning,
Uncorseted her waist;
Her shoes of size most ample
(A hygienic last)
She meant, she said, to trample
Her follies of the past.
Her nose was free from powder,
Her hair was all her own,
Yet far from feeling prouder
At how her "sense had grown,
Her husband bellowed, "Woman,
You look a perfect fright;
Go dress like something human;
You surely are a sight!

George was famous for being
late at his appointments. He was
engaged to be married to a young
lady in a neighboring city, and
when the day of the ceremony ar
rived George, aa usual, did not ap
pear. The bride was on the verge
of nervous prostration when the
following telegram was received
from the missing bridegroom: :
Dear Helen: Missed the early
train. Will arrive on the 4:31.
Don't get married until I get
there. George.
Who's Who in the Cabi net-By Cor\
BY J. OAMPBKMi CORV
Special Cartoonist for the Times
Franjilin Knight I.a up, the new
secrotar\ of the interior, has
nourished a poignant sorrow ever
since he was compelled to mem
orize long sections of the consti
tution of the United States while
a public school pupil out in Cali
fornia. Mr. Lane never can be
president. Although he has sum
mered and wintered about 45 of
his 48 years in the "ktfid of the
free," he was born an alien. Hia
ancestral home Is on Prince Hd
ward'a Island, off the Atlantic
coast of Canada.
Lane has a record of accom
plishment. The general public
did not hear of him until he be
came a member of the Interstate
commerce commission and began
to cary the monotonous routine
of the work of that body with
some real and aggressive activ
ity. But even before this, it was
he who first brought the late E.
H. llarrlman to a realization of
the fact that the people had
something to say in the matter of
railroad rates. Lane was the
democratic candidate for gov
ernor of California In 1902. He
had the "goods" on the Southern
Pacific and Union Pacific crowd
and he proceeded to tell the peo
ple of California all he knew on
the subject and many other
things he suspected.
The very next year he bobbed
up as a candidate for the United
States senatorship. That he did
not take hJs place in the senate
was due only to the fact that
there were not enough demc
cratic votes In the legislature.
Within two years he wob ap
pointed by President Roosevelt a
member of the interstate com
merce commission and got the
opportunity to put his theories
Into practice.
His chief delight in life seems
to consist In "starting some
thing." Initiative is supposed to
be a quality possessed by every
man who succeeds in public life.
Lane's associates say that his
particular kind of initiative
should be spelled in capital let
ters. While he was a member of
the interstate commerce commis
sion, he kept everybody around
him on the jump.
Lane is exceedingly demo
cratic in his manner, but at the
same time refuses to make any
concessions to the gaillery. He is
frank in speech and absolutely
refuses to put on any "side" on
account of his official position.
But he declines to wear the uni
form of Jeffersondan simplicity
so generally affected by success
ful politicians. In fact from a
sartorial point of view, he Is the
pride of the new cabinet. In his
nifty looking garments ha would
make a good model for those
ready-made clothing advertise
ments that are now flooding the
newspapers and magazines In
anticipation of the spring trade.
He is spick and span from his
polished crown to bis glistening
shoes, and he wears those classy
little' white edgings that project
a fraction of an Inch from under
the V of his waistcoat.
Lane's refusal to play the
grandstand game has worried his
political associates. On one oc
casion, during his gubernatorial

SCHOOL MASTER IS A

Schoolmaster to nations!
That's Harry Erwin Bard, the
Indiana man who put the school
system of the Philippine islands
on its feet.
When he wpnt to the Island
home of our "little brown broth
ers" there wasn't much of an
educational system in vogue in
that sunny clime. Teachers were
scarcer than hen's teeth and the
kids were playing pelota or train
ing game cocks.
Now they're the most rabid
baseball fans In captivity, and
the rest of the school system la
rapidly approaching the highest
American standard.
"It runs throuyh my head,"
said Minister of Education Vil
laran of Peru,' that a fellow who
can put education into the Fili
pinos can do the same to us."
And he offered the job to Prof.
Bard.
Now, anybody who knows
South America in general, and
Peru in particular, knows full
well that it la easier to draw
blood out of a turnip than to put
knowledge into the brain of the
average' Peruvian. If It could
be fed him In sugar coated pills
or by hypodermic Injections your
Peruvian would fall for the three

for it—well, it is some tough job
educating that fellow.
But hard as that was, it wasn't
the worst proposition Prof. Bard
had to face. Not being so Inti
mately acquainted with the Peru
vial disposition as he might
have been, Prof. Bard signed up
for three years with this Vll
laraa person and sailed for Lima.
But while he was sailing, those
Peruvian hotheads were revolt

Coughs and Consumption -
Coughs and colds, when neglect
ed, always lead to serious trou
ble of the lungs. The wisest thing
to do when you have a cold that
troubles you Is to get a bottle of
Dr. King's New Discovery. You
will get relief from the first dose,
and finally the cough will dis
appear. O. H. Brown, of Musca
dine, Ala., writes: "My wife was
down in bed with an obstinate
cough, and I honestly believe had
it not been for Dr. King's New
Discovery, she would not be liv
ing today." Known for forty
three years as the beat remedy for
coughs and colds. Price 50c and
