Compensation to Workinfmen for
Industrial Accidents.
Carrying out the design of a resolu
tion adopted by the recent legislature,
Governor Aldrlch has named a commis
sion to inquire into the subject of com
pensation to working men for injuries
from industrial accidents and report a
measure to the next Nebsaska legis
lature. This is probably the way best
calculated to make progress toward a
solution of this big problem, which is
ly no means peculiar to any one state.
In fact, it is a problem Jess pressing
upon an agricultural state like Ne
braska than upon those states which
include great industrial centers. The
Nebraska commission will have the co
operation of other bodies and organi
sations that, are working along the
same lines, as well as an opportunity
to take advantage of. the results of
experiments that are being tried in
several states where laws have been
enacted and may be tested in the
courts.
The main obstacles to be overcome
in any scheme of wage worker's com
pensation have been pointed out by the
New York courts, which declared un
constitutional a law which bad been
put upon the statute, books of that
state. The constitutional guaranties
against taking property without pro
cess of law or depriving citizens of the
equal protection of the courts were
there successfully invoked. The main
question of the desirability and
need of providing machinery for
securing compensation to the vic
tims of hazardous employments with
out compelling them to submit to the
lottery of costly and protracted litiga
tion is now scarcely questioned.
The fact that we in Nebraska, be
cause we have no mines and but com
paratively little manufacturing activ
ities, are not confronted by such acute
industrial conditions as elsewhere may
make it possible for us to work out
and contribute something positive
toward the achievement of the great
end in view, which is to lift this ter
rible burden from the individual wage
worker and spread it over all of the
industrial group or over society as a
whole.
Products of- Foreign Missions.
The Outlook well says that If disbe
lievers In foreign missions could be In
duced to read anything on the subject
tbey would profit by reading an
article by Dr. James L, Barton, the
foreign' secretary of the American
board, In a recent number of the Mis
sionary Herald, entitled "By-Products
of Foreign Missions." The article
shows, what students of the situation
quite well understand, that as a direct
result of the foreign missionary's ac
tivities in the far east slavery is dis
appearing, the spirit of humanity and
the value of human life are coming to
be better understood and appreciated;
the opium curse and the bound feet
are being overcome and released, the
former slowly but steadily, the latter
rapidly; better civio and sanitary con
ditions exist, the tone of moral life is
rising, the Intolerable bane which caste
and ancient Ignorance placed upon
womanhood Is being lifted and In busi
ness, sociaV&nd moral realms the ho
rizon of life Is broadening, one very
appreciable effect .of which, is folt by
the commercial interests of this and
other western countries that are sup
plying the new demands of these newly
awakened people.
The Outlook is correct, we think, in
pronouncing these direct, not by-products,
of missions. What more con
vincing results could be placed on ex
hibition? They are the ones to bring
to the nonchurch world with which to
win Its approval and sympathy. They
strike the world as tangible and help
to draw - its attention to the more
spiritual benefits so dear to the mis
sionary himself. They are, indeed, es
sential elements In the cause of foreign
missions. The man or the woman who
can go from democratic, Christian
America and raise the standard of liv
ing, increase the sphere of comfort and
happiness and usefulness of races in
other lands has a claim on enlight
ened manhood, no matter under what
auspices or Influence the work is done.
. ... . J
Work as a Saving Grace. ,
Some of our European friends think
wealthy Americans are too selfish to
retire from active business in time to
enjoy what they have accumulated.
The criticism is not 8o common in this
country, where people are better able
to get a close-range view. Indeed, a
prominent manufacturer in Cleveland,
84 years old, has recently declared
that too many business men leave off
work and devote themselves to the
ease and comforts of rest, which their
means make possible. He thinks tbey
would live longer and happier If tbey
would stick to active business. For
himself, he proposes to "die In the
harness."
It has been admitted by scientists
who have gone into the subject that
sudden retirement from a life of very
active labor has marked the downward
trend to many approaching old age.
The mind, abruptly freed from stimu
lating toll to which it was accustomed,
finds the change bard to adapt itself
to. Of course, where infirmity or ill
health overtakes a man, complete re
lief from ' business fcften becomes
necessary, but nevertheless many a life
is undoubtedly prolonged by the tonic
of regular routine exertion.
But what Americans are beginning
to learn as the best system of all is
that moderation in work and play, and
the two properly mixed as they go
along, give tone and vitality and the
promise of . added years. Americans
are working harder, perhaps, every
year, but most of them, especially this
class to which we have referred, are
alio playing harder and thus reaping
the benefits that flow from diversion in
both channels. Those business and
professional men who do this probably
do not find early retirement necessary
to longevity, but if they did, they could
go into it without encountering severe
reaction.
Presidential Traveling.
Preparations for an extensive tour
of the country by President Taft nat
urally draws attention to presidential
travelings as having become much
more common of late years. It may
even now be put down, we believe, as
an unwritten part of the constitution
that the president is expected, if not in
dity bound, to make as many personal
inspection trips during his term of
office into the various sections and na
tional possessions as his time and cir
cumstances will permit. A president
who would plant himself in the White
House and remain there except when
pursuing his own pleasure and conven
ience, immovable to the demands of
the people for him to lend his presence
to their festive and every-day occa
sions, would be severely and Justly
criticised. Presidential traveling was
not so much in evidence in the early
days because what there was of it was
on a small scale, and It was on a small
scale because the country had not
reached its present huge proportions
with its ninety millions of people scat
tered from ocean to ocean, all eger to
see and honor the chief executive of
the nation.
The fact that presidential traveling
necessarily has political aspects, par
ticularly during a first term, need not
detract from its usefulness nor Impair
the dignity of the office. The presi
dent who wants to represent the true
Interests of all the people must exert
himself to keep in touch with them,
and It is to the people that he must
answer for his stewardship. When a
presidential contest is on those who
are trying to make capital against his
administration are constantly going up
and down the land, free to assail him,
and with no responsibility of their
own. The president can also get a
better hearing for his explanation of
what he is doing and trying to do by
going out, among the people.
Presidential traveling is hard on the
president. Its exactions and exhaus
tions are little known or appreciated
by outsiders. It has, however, as we
have said, come to be a part of the
regular duties devolving upon the
president, and far from being dis
carded in favor of notions of dignity
and ease, the people would not consent
to its abandonment without a mighty
protest.
Savings of the People.
An economist shows by a printed
table that Switzerland leads other
countries in its savings bank deposits.
This la noteworthy, because Switzer
land also leads In its private and postal
savings banks, with special emphasis
upon the latter. Its savings are not
attributed so much to the size of the
average account as to the fact that
nearly half of the population are de
positors. This is a splendid argument for the
postal savings bank system which we
have but recently put into operation
in the United States. How better can
we gauge the average prosperity and
frugality of the working people of any
country than by their savings in the
bank? Switzerland is not the only old
world country whose people have been
benefited in this way through their
system of savings banks. Germany
leads all world countries in the
number of depositors with 18,000,000
and little Japan comes next with 14,
500,000. In the amount of savings In
bank the United States ranks fourth
among all countries, but we have not
quite 9,000,000 depositors out of a
populalton of 91,000,000. Our aver
age bank deposit is more than $400,
showing that our total is kept up not
by the number of the depositors so
much as by the enormous size ot some
deposits.
What we want to do is to bring up
the number of our depositors, 'which
the postal savings system is expected
to do and has already begun to do. It
is being eagerly embraced by the small
wage earner, by children as well as
adults, and the moral and economic
effect of the lesson is certain to en
hance vitally the national life. The
chief value of postal savings will come
from teaching the lesson of more fru
gality, the habit of saving.
King Corn Still Enthroned.
In spite of all the vagaries of the
season, experts say Nebraska's corn
crop will run up close to 200,000,000
bushels this year, barring unexpected
injury from now on. If it does It will
exceed last year s yield, wnicn was a
little more than 194,000,000 bushels,
placing Nebraska fifth among corn-producing
states, Illlonols, Iowa, Missouri
and Indiana outranking it. The belief
among grain men who have taken
pains to go into the situation trior
oughly is that 1911 will show a corn
crop within 10 per cent one way or
the other of the 1910 crop. Thus far
-the indications are for 10 per cent
above, but, of course, should too early
frost come, or beating storms, the de
preciation might ensue. There is no
longer fear from dry weather. Cer
tainly King Corn's power to resist dry
and hot weather has been put to the
severest test. But, of course, people
who have gauged their Idea of the
weather In Nebraska from the brand
they have had in Omaha this summer,
which has been unusual In most places,
are not In a position to understand the
facts. The facts are most parts of the
state have fared very much better than
Omaha. .
There ! a suggestion In Nebraska's
com prospect this year worth while for
the man seeking a good place to settle
on a farm. Our soil was not very well
soaked by snows last winter and none
too profusely bathed in rain this sum
mer, yet it appears equal to the de
mands of producing a 200,000,000
bushel corn crop. There Is no better
soil in the country and the only reason
Nebraska is not first, Instead of fifth,
In corn raising to that it has not yet
got to planting as great acreage as
some of the older states.
Juit a Family Trait "
The secret of John D. Rockefeller's
immense wealth-acquiring proclivities
has been explained by a relative, who
says It la Just a family trait This
naive remark was made at recent
family reunion when the subject of
John D.'a millions came up. Evidently
some members of the family have not
the trait so pronounced In them as It Is
in the famous Standard OH king. He
seems to have carried It to Its logical
conclusions. In him It has co'me to Its
finest attenuation. Some folks make
a little money by the hardest kind of
knocks and some have the knocks with
out making the money, but here Is a
man with whom money making Is a
mere habit, Just a family characteristic
That, Indeed, is a fine explanation,
for it both rids Mr. Rockefeller of the
blame for acquiring such an Immodest
sum of money and deprives him of the
credit, leaving him free to enjoy the
comfort of one and the modesty of the
other. He ought to let this cheer him
now in his years of anxiety about get
ting rid of his wealth before he hag to
die. Let the blame fall back on the fam
ily from whom he inherited this pecul
iar little trait All the Rockefellers,
this one tells us, are in rather comfort
able circumstances. One would imagine
as much, even without knowing that
they all possessed this ancestral trait,
knowing the magnanimity of John D.
Now let those who find it profitable
to dilate about the force of heredity
go Into consultation with themselves
over the Rockefeller case. It offers a
splendid field for wide speculation.
The Frenzied Cry for Thrillers.
To what bounds of reckless Inhu

Speed mania has run riot with it
Dare-devil adventure has become its
passion. Death Itself does not appall It.
At the Indianapolis motor speedway
the wrecked machine with its dead

cheered to the end by thousands too
eagerly awaiting the winner, to waste
a glance on the lifeless contestant On
with the race; It is only to the swift.
At Denver the thrill of an aeroplane

The tragic death of Aviator Frlsble
In Kansas brings out the sordldness of
this frantio spirit more keenly than
the others. The aviator finds his ma
chine disordered and tells the crowd
so. "Faker, faker," Is the answer.
Smarting under the taunt, he rises to
a height of 100 feet, turns, his ma
chine dips and plunges to earth. Frls
ble lives only for an hour.
The wild mobs that surround the
bull pens in Mexico have been likened
to the crowds about the Forum where
the gladiators fought in ancient Rome".
How much unlike them are some of
our own American crowds coming to
be? What is aviation aad motoring
giving .us in return for what it Is tak
ing from us? The righteous wrath and
Indignation of the moral people of our
land spent Itself In the sight of a black
bruiser beating to Insensibility a white
bruiser at Reno, but both men are liv
ing today, very much richer In pocket
for the experience, however disgusting
prize fighting may be.
Under the guise of science we are
In danger of making of aviation a de
basing and degrading pastime. And
the worst of It Is our thirst for thrill
ers leads us to insist on them no mat
ter what the cost.
Art of Literature and Advertising.
The sale of books in this country Is
tremendous. Streams of them poured
off the presses last year, nor did tbey
clog up or congest book stores; they
were sold and fortunes were made and
most of those sold probably were read;
we do cot know. So far as quantity
goes, It might be called the Perlclean
age of literature, or golden age, per
haps, wpuld suit better.
What was the chief factor that fig
ured In this tremendous traffic in
books, the books themselves, their
merit, the art of literature, or was it
that other coarser of arts, the commer
cial art or advertising t There are
reasons to belleva that the latter, Ju
diciously distributed In printer's ink,
worked a very vital and potent lnflu
ence in results. It la quite probable
that many of the books, meritorious
and otherwise, would have gone beg
glng for purchasers and readers but
for the skill and genius of the en
ergetic and ever-resourceful advertis
ing agent.
Advertising nas Become quite as
much of an art as literature, though
it may not be one of the fine arts.
And no business, or even profession,
is willing to risk Itself wholly without
it today. 8ome professions with Ir
reconcilable ethics imagine they must
not become corrupted with the baser
element of advertising, but that Is
only when It has the contaminating
Influence of filthy lucre attached to It;
free advertising, that is, advertising
free of this debasing essence. Is not
so objectionable. But to get back to
the main Hne of argument, what
would the average book-writer or pub
lisher do for a living today If he had
to do without this art of advertising?
Perhaps there was a time we do
not know when all an author had to
do to get a book read was to write
it the public would find its wsy to
the book and seize It, in spite of all
that could be done to the contrary.
But you cannot find any authors today
who think thst that time is now.
They write their books, the publisher
takes the chance of marketing them,
and in doing so he resorts to most In
genius methods of getting the book
spoken of far and near. That is all
he wants Just to get it spoken of,
favorably, of course. His own press
agent floods the country with his
florid accounts of the book and the
retailer takes up the work and adds
his skill. First thing they know people
are falling over themselves to buy
the book. The author has scored a
bit of the age, and if he does not blos
som out Into a famous vaudeville
star, commanding his own price, he
Is apt to become a syndicate philoso
pher whose picture and wisdom are
published side by side on the back
page of every yellow Journal in the
country. He has reached the point
where all he has to do to get the coin
Is to knit his brow and reel off a
platitude that was common property
in Solomon's day. And he owes it all
to this base, commercial art of adver
tising, the etna qua non of successful
business life in this gay, galloping
twentieth century of results.
uovernor Aidricn s advocacy of a
law to limit the amount of money a
candidate may spend for newspaper

money by keeping his under the dead
line.

Chicago Tribune: A Kentucky clergy
man has shown by figures that heaven IS
large enough to contain about 600 trillion
souls, allotting a room ten feet square to

Askey of Sharon, Pa., rose In his pulpit
last Sunday and gave this piece of advlrt
to young men: "Do not marry the young

with tho lights turned low." The Rev.
Mr. Aakey's mind must be dwelling on
lormer uaya. There is a good deal or evi-
dence to show that there waa many yea's k,Ji
ago a willingness on tne part ot )0uni?
women to sit for hours with their young
men callers and to be quite contented to
do so. But these days it's altogether
different in most places. The young wo
man wants to go somewhere. The Idea ot

entertain a caller does not appeal to her.
She Is Just as likely as not to meet him

"I will say that I have been suffering
with an 'itching on my scalp for the pa.st
few years. My hair fell out In spots all
over my head. My scalp started to trouble
me with sores, then the sores healed up,
and crusts formed on the top. Then the hair
fell out and left me three bald spots the
shape of a half dollar. I went to more than
one doctor, but could not get any relief, aa
I started to use the Cutirura Remedies. I
tried one bar of Cutlcura 8o.p and soma
Cuticura Ointment, and felt relieved right
away. Now tha bald spots hare disappeared,
and my hair has grown, thanks to the Cutl

mend the Cutlcura Remedies to all that are
suffering with scalp trouble." (Hlgned)
