Complete the Machine To the Editor of the Kvcnlng Ledger: W13 HAVU passed through flvo of tho biggest month tho world has ever known, big In catastrophe, In tragedy and In meaning. Let others argue that this Is tho toppling of civilization's structure, another Tower of Babel resulting from our efforts to substltuto purr- sclenco for Omnipotence. I am content, for my part, to remember tho general riot and chaos that ushered In tho French Revolution, and consider tho present turmoil In Europo as a final convulsive effort of barbarism to stay tho inevitable era of Universal brotherhood. Now Hfo comes into being In agony, and tho agony Is worth It. But tho purpose of this letter Is to empha size tho fallacy of tho teaching' that ma terialism and spiritual uplift arc antagonistic forces. Tho longing of man Is for a beautiful Hfo after death and a beautiful llfo beforo death. Ho thirsts for comfort, nnd prosperity should bo his birthright; not only clothes and food for his children, but opportunity for them also Is his prayer. This war throw our Industries to their lenees They havo not recovered yet. Skilled and unskilled work men aro without wages. Fuctories which should bo working overtlmo aro not working at all. Yet nover has th.cro been so great a demand for our products at such satisfac tory prices. The reason for our discom fiture is that in building up tho best dis tribution service tho world has over known wo terminated it at tidewater and were sat isfied to be without any of tho instruments of commerce beyond. This war has brought tho necessity of a merchant marine home to us. We realize now how fatally defective our wholo trado ma chine is. "We understand that wo aro de pendent on foreign freighters Just as much as foreign nations aro dependent on our crops. Wo have built a great houso and forgot to put a roof on it. Our own control of our trade stops at tho seaboard. "Wo havo tho goods and tho orders everything but the means of, carriage. The restoration of tho merchant marine, therefore, is more, important than tho tariff, more important, in fact, than any other question now beforo tho American people. Wo must DUt our nil Inn on tho owan nr our prosperity will be at tho mercy of tho natlonW that do. That Is the lesson of tho war for tho United States. "Will we tako two decades to assimilate it or will Congress apply to tho problem at onco the genius for handling practical affairs that has always distinguished tho American people? I suggest that if the mad scheme of Government ownership is per sisted in, Congress at the same timo give pri vate capital a chanco by renovating tho navigation laws and removing tho chains which havo been fastened on the shipping In dustry. E. S. H. Philadelphia, January 4. Republicans Make Good Beginning THAT Republican caucus at Harrlsburg, at which Charles A. Ambler was unani mously nominated for Speaker- of tho House of Representatives, waB u triumph not only for party harmony, but for tho legislative program to which tho party Is committed. His election this afternoon is a further con firmation. Tho Governor-elect, by his force of char acter and bold decision, had a share in achieving the result which promises well for tho future. He has wrought Repub lican harmony out of discord, routed his foes and enlisted some of them under his own banner. It was only what ho ought to have done, what he had to do, if his ad ministration wero to fulfil the promises ho made to the electorate last fall; hut ho did It with nuch courago and tactfulness that no doubt Is left of who is going to bq Governor of Pennsylvania. Local option has found a victorious friend, and the rest of the Brum baugh platform looks safer than eer. r New School Superintendent DR. "WILLIAM C. JACOBS, the now Su perintendent of Public Schools, pos sesses advantages that should make his In cumbency of offlco a marked success. Ho knows the educational Bystem of Philadel phia intimately; he knows the policies inau gurated and contemplated by Doctor Brum baugh; he knows tho city and tho State require that the very highest standards shall be maintained In our schools.

Tho Message to tho General Assembly of Pennsylvania, as given today In Harrlsburg and to bo found on an other pago of tho KvnNJNa LEDann, Is a cold, formal and perfunctory document that could causo neither thrill nor shock to tho hearers or readers. Department after department is brought under rovlow and disposed of in sterilized sentences of approval. Tho citizens of tho Commonwealth aro told that even State affairs should be established on buslncsillko principles; that tho Health Department has done Its duty; that tho school codo is really In operation; that Pennsylvania Is the great est coal-producing territory In tho world, that wo may bo proud of our charities; that tho Department of Agriculture compares favor ably with llko departments in other States; that changing from bce-hlvo coko ovens to by-product ovens eliminates waste; tho Na tional Guard has maintained Us efficiency. Ono of tho longest sections of tho messago Is an unlmpussloned defense of or apology for the Highway Department, nqual suffrago has six chilly lines of reserved approval. Tho message is valuable, nevertheless It shows what a magnificent opportunity lies beforo Governor Brumbaugh. If Pennsylva nia could bo so orderly and respectable and prosperous without forceful and contagious leadership wo may expect tho Commonwealth to bound forward under tho compelling per sonality of a Chief Executive who puts un stinted soul into his work. Pennsylvania hungcis and thirsts for a strong and independent Executive. Doctor Brumbaugh Is the man! Good for Employer, Good for Employe THE case for workmen's compensation has been proved. The principle has been put into practice In half tho States of tho Union, and can bo known today by Its results. It works. Tho pragmatic test has shown that Pennsylvania cannot afford longer to lag be hind all the other great industrial common wealths of the country. "Workmen's compensation Is an expression of humanltarlanlsm and of tho altruistic, en lightened self-interest which makes for na tional efficiency, and which tho writer of a recent article on this page called "American Kultur." It pays individual employers as well as society at large In dollars nnd cents. Experlenco under tho Mnssa'chusetts act, described in another column, has shown that tho advantages of workmen's compensation accrue equally to tho employer and to tho employe.. Business concerns are benefited by the exact determination of their obligation In a very Important direction of liability. Ex penditure In this department becomes a fixed and known quantity. Tho cost of legal serv ice and of litigation is done away with, so far as damage suits aro concerned. It should be remembered, moreover, that employers not protected by a comparison law havo to de fend themselves against numerous exorbitant and fraudulent claims. Under such a law a prolific cause of quarrels between employers and employes Is removed. They havo nothing to quarrel about. Accident claims almost set tle themselves. The result Is a better feeling between tho two groups, tho development of a co-operatlvo spirit, Industrial peace. Noth ing is moro profitable to tho employing class than Industrial peace, if it rests on a sound and secure basis. The cost of Insurance Is passed on to the consumer, as all other costs of production are, In accordance with eco nomic law. Tho retiring Governor of Pennsylvania and tho Governor-elect have placed themselves on record as earnest advocates of workmen's compensation. It now belongs to tho Legis lature to place Pennsylvania Itself on record as a State which keeps up with the times. "'Tis an 111 Wind" CAMDEN'S fire loss on Sunday was a seri ous one, but the general public will feel that the Individual losses of the property owners at Kalglm's Point are the community's gain If the result Is to be, aa predicted, the Immediate provision of adequate terminal facilities at that point. The old ferry and station buildings were a disgrace to the city, shabby and dirty beyond the powers of de scription, and unworthy of the Reading Rail way system, or the "population and territory served by It. "When a station commensurate with the service required of It shall be erected on the blackened ruins, It Is certain to ex ercise an immediate Influence upon the en tire surrounding property. At present Kalghn's Point Is not the most creditable of Camden's suburbs; it has perhaps uncon sciously taken Us tone from the structures which the railroad has for so many years thought sufficient for that locality, But With better terminal buildings the discrep ancy between the old and the new, between the public and private buildings, must stimu late Improvements which will change the Whole character of the place. A few weeks of tho naked truth will not hurt Philadelphia. Mr. Roosevelt says, in a petulant mood, that the people are tired of him; and he was always admittedly in a class by himself at analysing publlo opinion.

By RAYMOND C. FULLER TWENTi'-FOUtt States of tho Union havo workmon'a compensation laws. That Is a record of flvo years. Though tho first statute of this kind In America was passed In 1902, it waB declared Invalid in court, tho Maryland legislators having mado mistakes which might havo been natural enough when tho subject was nower in this country than it Is now. But aftcrwnrd they came back with a law which Is still In good working order. Today workmen's compensation Is a going concern, nnd Pennsylvania has no body to blamo but herself If bIio falls, after examining tho cxporlonco of half tho States, to enact a "model law." tiut if Pennsyl vania Is to bo tho 25th State on tho roll sho will havo to hustle to get ahead of little aerlcullurnl Vermont and a. dozen .othor Commonwealths which nro ready to glvo themselves that honor. As It Is, this State Is tho only ono of tho groat Industrial Com monwealths which hns not yet put work men's compensation on tho statute books. Workmen's compensation Is costly? Of course. But not so costly as maimed bodies and shortened lives. Not so costly aa tho worry of tho man who dreads tho conse quences to his family If ho should be laid up u few weeks or tho rost of his llfo by an uccldent at the mill. Not so costly aa personal Injury litigation and u, perpetual quarrel between employers and employes. All this Is soclul costliness, not merely In dividual. Counting the Cost How much does workmen's compensation really cost7 And what Is tho valuo re ceived? Slnco this form of social Insurance, be camo established In America, and partly no doubt ns a consequence, tho number of In dustrial accidents has been reduced nearly ouo-hulf. Massachusetts has a law which makes employers and employes equal part ners In tho obligations and advantages of "snfety first." It Is a harmonious partner ship; It has reduced tho number of Indus trial accidents at a remarknblo rate; It has practically cleared tho Superior Court docket of pcrsonul Injury cases; it has mado pos sible tho speedy adjustment of uccldent claims without tho litigation so expensive to State and contestants; It has afforded Immediate relief to thousands afflicted by poverty nnd worry; and It has charged tho cost of Insurance to tho cost of production with a total levy on tho consumer of only nino ono hundredths of ono cent for each dollar's worth of product purchased. Tho cost of "getting along without work men's compensation wakes up that efficiency idea which Is so popular nowndays. How does Massachusetts get tho results? Tho Bay State law will bo ono of tho three or four to receive tho most careful consid eration from the legislators at Harrlsburg. This and the New York statute, represent the two principal types. The Massachusetts way is this: Tho act, which went into effect July 1, 1912, is administered by tho Industrial Acci dent Board, which consists of five members appointed by tho Governor with tho ap proval of the Governor's Council. It applies to all employes except domestic servants and farm laborers, casual labor having been included In its application by a icccnt amendment, and to all employers who elect to como under tho act by taking out insurance. This statement, llko certain others which follow, is general, and must bo qualified by referenco to statutory definitions ' and Judicial decisions. Ninety per cent, of tho employers In hazardous Industries aro subscribers under the act. In all, about 19,000 employers of labor hao voluntarily provided Us protec tion for GSO.000 employes. There are only 150,000 employes within tho meaning of tho act who do not have this protection. Insurance Is Issued by tho Massachusetts Emplojes' Insurance Association, which does business on a mutual plan, and also by approved private liability companies. Tho rates must bo submitted to and aD- proved by tho Massachusetts Insurance De partment. A spoclnl State commission Is now investigating tho whole subject of gov ernmental regulation of Insurance rates. From Injury to Payment On becoming a subscriber the employer posts about his premises notices to that ef fect. Ho loses his common-law defenses that tho employe was negligent, that tho In Jury waB caused by tho negligence of a fellow employe and that tho employe had, assumed tho risk of injury. If un employe of a subscriber prefers to remain outside the act, he must so notify his employer at tho time of hiring or within 30 days after the employer becomes a subscriber. The em ployer, of course, can then plead the old de fenses In a damage suit. Only 480 employes, since tho act took 'effect, have thus elected to take their chances with litigation. In this period, statistics show, the payments made by uninsured employers In fatal cases are only one-third of the amount due the dependents of employes under workmen's compensation. The proportion In non-fatnl cases, though no yet determined. Is greatly In favor of tho compensation act. All employers, whether Insured or not, are required to notify the State board of acci dents. With this notification to the board the subscriber's part In the compensation procedure ends, unless he has been guilty of "serious and wilful misconduct." In such cases tho employe Is entitled to double com pensation and the subscriber must pay the extra amount, He may defend himself be fore the board. An Injured employe notifies the Insurance company and is furnished with medical at tendance, and, If necessary, Is cared for at a- hospital. Though the choice of a, doctor or a, physician lies with the company, there have been few Instances of difficulty over the matter, as the company Is usually con siderate. The accident board la largely re sponsible for the adoption of this co, opera tive policy. The compensation arranged by the em ploye and the insurer, in accordance with the statutory scale. Is reviewed by the board. If no agreement Is reached either party may notify the board, which Immediately appoints an arbitration commission of three members, ono a member of the accident board, one a representative of the Injured man and the other a-representative of the insurance com pany. Appeals, from the RjbltratUn com mission go to tja Jpdusfjrlal ooJdeqt Board, whf 4Ma oh (Mitlww ef fc Is pa. JtMJ&lM f Ur ta th awjwwe Judicial W& HWmW & 4 ta-wynr to I rtt' C-toiiircoauaW, ,.

V These bodies act as counsel for both sides. Out of tho 65,000 accidents which enmo under tho operation of tho act In tho first year, only 325 resulted In arbitration cases. Tho scalo of compensation, In brief, Is ns follows: Compensation to dependents In caso of death wholly dependents, two thirds of averago weekly wages for COO weeks, with weekly limits of $4 to $10, and a total limit of $4000; partly dependents, In proportion to contributions to dependents. Kor partial disability, two-thirds of the dif ference between tho ncrago weekly wages beforo tho Injury and tho average weekly wages tho cmployo Is ablo to earn there after; maximum, $10 weekly; maximum time, COO weeks; maximum total, $4000. For total disability, two-thirds of averago weekly wages; maximum, $10 weekly; minimum, $4; maximum time, GOO weeks; maximum amount, $4000. For certain specified In juries, as loss of both hands, or cither, or affection of tho eyesight, amounts aro paid in addition to all other compensation. Beforo compensation begins thoro is a two weeks' "waiting period" principally re sponsible for tho prevention of malingering during which only medical and hospital service aro furnished tho Injured employe. After six months, If the parties agree, tho board has defined "personal injury" as "any wholo liability. "Injury" Includes Discaee "If an cmplojo " says tho statute, "receives a personal Injury arising out of and In tho course of his employment, he ahlill, bd paid compensation." His own "serious and wilful misconduct" is tho only bar. Tho board has defined "personal injury" as "any Injury or damage or harm or dlscaso which arises out of or In tho course of tho em ployment, which causes Incapacity for work and takes from tho cmployo his ability to earn wages." In a caso appealed to tho Supremo Court, concerning tl-o payment of compensation to an cmployo whoso Inca pacity was caused by lead poisoning, the court sustained tho decision of tho board in favor of payment and declared: "It is clear that 'personal Injury' under our net Includes any Injury or disease which arises out of and In tho courso of tho employment and Impairs tho ability of tho employe for earning wages." In another caBo, In which tho court on appeal ordered the pay ment of compensation to an cmployo affected by optic nouritls, tho court called attontlon to tho fact that'tho word 'Injury' and not 'accident' was employed by the Legislature throughout this act." Acting jointly with tho Industrial Acci dent Board in certain duties Is a Board of Labor and Industries. Tho Joint board has power to order tho installation of safety de vices in factories, mills, etc., and to make what rules and regulations It deems wise and necessary for tho proventlon of occupa tional disease. Violations of Its orders are punishable by fine. Tho accident board em ploys six Inspectors, qualified under civil service regulations. By a supplementary act, passed last year, the State must pay compensation to such "laborers, workmen and mechanics" em ployed by It as receive Injuries arising out of and In the courso of their employment, and any county, city, town or district may accept the provisions of this act by a ma jority vote at the annual meeting or elec tion. The Industrial Accident Board admin isters this supplementary act. The success of tho workmen's compensa tion act In Massachusetts that is, the gen eral good will manifested toward It Is due In large part to tho fairness and tactfulness with which tt has been administered by the ""-'"" uuu. ui ono ot its bulletins ho board Bays that It has "adopted tho open door policy In regard to tho meetings of employes, insurers and others concerned In the administration of the law, and freely in vites them to call at any time to confr with Its members upon any case or question arls-" ing jn connection with the workmen's com pensation act," The National Civic Federa tion, after an examlpatjon of the whole field of workmen's compensation, is strongly of the opinion that the accident board plan Is the logical method of administration. In Massachusetts, in tnatters which hth erto have been a prolific cause of labor dls, piUes, the act Is coming to be fully recog nized as a patural. easy and fair mode of procedure and settlement. .

I; The last tlmo I saw Billy Sunday was when ho went to the bat on tho South End ball ground, In Boston. That was a good many years ago. Slnco then ho has become the most successful evangelist In the world. On Sunday afternoon ho went to tho bat In tho tabernacle and ho was tho samo dynamo of nerves, tho samo honest Billy Sunday who strikes a truth full and fair and sends It Into tho heart or straight to tho consclenco, or makes a target of tho funny bone. Evangelists are In a class by themselves. Most of them havo tho commanding power. B. Fay Mills would today make a general. Moody exacted obedience and Gypsy Smith gives orders with military presumption. Billy Sunday is also tho boss. He is in command. Things aro dono in order at the tabernacle. Ladles remove their hats or get out. There Is no crowding In the aisles. Ushers under stand their business. Tho tabernaclo was not filled In the after noon. Hundreds of vacant seats wero back bf tho platform, but the floor space was taken. When tho collection was taken thoro was a perceptible flutter of fear. It was tho sound of tho coin in tho tin cans. Tho opening exercises were not marked by tho spiritual fervor that characterized tho Moody meetings. Tho singing lacked volumo and devotional expression. His Power What Is It? Billy Sunday Is not easily defined. Power conceals Us secret. Psychologists would call It hypnotism; theologians, tho power of the spirit; tho ethical teacher, the gift of truth; tho dramatist, tho art of tho player; while others declare: His strength Is as the strength of ten, Because his heart Is pure. Billy iSunday Is a good actor. Each ser mon Is carefully prepared, and some' of It read from manuscript. Certain climaxes are Illustrated. At ono point he slides to a baso; at another, kneels, or leaps upon the pulpit desk, or smashes a chair to pieces. Edward Everett did not more carefully prepare a speech with Its proper gestures than does this evangelist build his sermons. The local color with which ho decorates his main thought Is taken from the city In which ho speaks. I His Imagination Interested mo. Speaking on "Tho Grenadier," tho consideration of his theme invited the uso of the Imagination, and ho gavo It full play. The sermon was an application of military attributes to practical life, a rebuke to tho "wind-Jammer" of tho prayer meeting, and an appeal to the man who has taken an oath to be good to go out and honor It. Ho assailed tho "saphead" who criticises the Church, and the descrlp tldn he gavo of Daniel in the lion's den and of the head of John the Baptist on a charger will not be forgotten. I confess to.a liking for his so-called slang. Most of it is plain English with a punch In it. It Is the punch which preachers and editors and people who use words generally lack. Words are like 8hot, made to strike, and especially when used to Influence great bodies of people. It Is refreshing to hear a man say what he thinks and say It as he pleases-a thing most publlo men signally ran to do, Man Fashion Personality Is Inseparable from oratorical power. The man Is always greater than the work the man Is doing. Billy Sunday I3 a plain man. dressed In a business maa's suit behaving In a sincere democratic fashion! and speaking as a man to men.
