Go to Jerusalem to ‘Die. ‘That Jewish immigrants have so well adapted themselves to local con- ditions in Jerusalem as to “practically monopolize a greater part of such trade as exists” is stated in a consular report on Jerusalem. It is impossible to give an exact estimate of the popu- lation of Jerusalem, and although it is believed that it’ figures at 110,000, 95,000 might perhaps be a.more cor- rect estimate. It is, roughly speak- ing, eomposed of 13,000 Christians, 12,000 Mohammedans and 70,0 Jews, many of whom are immigrants from Russia. : It is remarked that in spite of the emigration of many Jews to escape military service there has still been a marked increase in this section of the population on account of the con- tinuous influx of aged Jews, who come with the intention of ending their days in Palestine. - Love and the Wolf. At a dinner in Tonopah Senator Key Pittman, apropos of a rash elope- ment on the part of two young con- stituents, shook his head and said: “Love laughs at locksmiths. And later on, alas, my young friends will find the wolf doing the same thing.” Not What He Deserved. “You deserve a great deal of credit, young man.” “Maybe I do, but I always have to pay eash.”—Stray Stories.

Draper Lewis known and antiquated rules of law, (1) If the workman has been injured by the act of a fellow workman he cannot recover anything from his em- ployer. (2) If the cause of injury could not have been foreseen by his employer and prevented, it is said to be one of the ordinary risks of em- ployment which the workman has assumed himself, and for this reason he can recover nothing. This rule is applied largely where the injury was caused by defective tools, un- guarded machinery or Hangerous places of employment, of which the workman knew when he took the job. (3) And finally no matter how negligent the employer may have been, if the workman has in any way jury by his own negligence, he can recover nothing. Lawyers Get Big Fees. If his claim is not barred bv one of thede three rules and he can get a verdict from the jury, he is then obliged to divide his compensation with his lawyer. It is estimated that no more than 40 per cent of the sum actually paid by the employer on a CENTRE COUNT MINISTERS ASK PALMER TO WITHDRAW Association Representing All Denomi- nations Urge Concentration of Anti- Penrose Strength on Gifford . Pin- chot. Since the indorsement of Gifford Pinchot by a state-wide non-partisan convention of local option and social workers at Harrisburg recently, the sentiment that the Progressive nomi- nee is the one candidate who can de- feat Penrose and his system in Penn- sylvania has spread all over the state. Additional evidence of the strong hold that the Pinchot candidacy has taken among voters who regard the defeat of Penrose as the important is- sue of the campaign comes from Centre county in the following mes- sage: “Bellefonte, Pa., Oct. 7. “Resolved, by the Ministerial Asso- ciation of Centre county, representing all the Christian denominations of the county, that in view of the political situation, present and prospective, in the state of Pennsylvania, in order to effect the elimination of Boies Pen- rose and Penroseism, the wise and right thing for Mr. Palmer to do at this juncture is to withdraw from his candidacy for United States Senator in favor of Mr. Pinchot.” - ‘The above resolution was unani- mously adopted in session today. WALTER FAY CARSON, Secretary, Ministerial of Centre county. Their Handicap in Life. Have you ever noticed that some it looks as if they were under ract with progress not to compete it? with There are a million and a half workers in this State who are in- terested in having a workmen’s com- men were injured the industries of every 15 of those Today these or their as the case may be, are ‘employing law- yers to fight their claims in the courts. . A great] many of their claims will be thrown out of court without ever being sub- mitted to a jury by reason of one of the three well verdict ever injured workman. It was to do away with this anti- quated system, which is now recog- nized as unjust to the working class, that a strenuous effort was made in the last legislature to pass a modern workmen’s compensation bill. As is now so well known, this bill was killed in the upper house under the leadership of Senator Crow and the Penrose-Republican organization. Sen- ator Crow is now the campaign mana- ger of both Penrose and Brumbaugh. Had this bill become law these 100,000 injured workmen and the fam- ilies of these 3,656 who were killed, would today be receiving regular monthly compensation as surely and automatically as ‘our war veterans receive their monthly pensions from the United States government. “This compensation bill practically abolished the three rules that today bar compensation in so many cases. reaches the contributed to the cause of his in-. ~+% | which way the wind blows. Association | follow the rules of prejudice so close | Under this law any workman injured at his work would receive compensa- tion, unless he had deliberately in- jured himself. It is only just that the cost of such accidents should be borne primarily by the employer, and ultimately by the consuming public at large, as part of the cost of pro- duction, instead of throwing the en- tire burden upon the workman and his family.” Moreover, it was pro- vided that employers could insure themselves against all such claims at a cost of 1 to 2 per cent of their payrolls. This cost would be figured in by each employer in fixing the price of his production, just as fire insurance on his plant is now figured, and would have meant no hardship to him. : Not an Experiment. While workmen’s compensation is modern, it is no experiment. It is to- day in force generally on the con- tinent of Europe, in England and her colonies, as well as 22 of our own States, including all the great indus- trial States, except Pennsylvania. Perhaps the best argument is PALMER A STUMBLING. BLOCK IN THE BIG HOUSE CLEANING a The demand for Palmer's retirement from the field is widespread, earnest, emphatic, insistent. His refusal to resign will alienate the sympathy of thousands of Democrats who believe that a united front should be present- ed by the Washington and Democratic parties against the Republican candi- dates and machine. If Mr. Palmer continues to refuse the demand of the anti-Penrose people of the State that he resign in favor of Pinchot, his can- didacy becomes hampered with an odium that will cost him a great many thousand vetes. The people are de- termined to defeat Penrose, and Dr. Lewis has shown a high spirit of pa- triotism in resigning from the ‘Wash- ington ticket in faver of Vance Mec- Cormick. The voters will complete the work of fusion at the general election by electing Pinchot along with McCormick, and nothing Mr. Palmer may do or leave undone can alter the purpose of the people. Palmer is weaker than his party. There is a hopeless split in the ranks of Democracy throughout the State, and Palmer will be one of the victims. The News personally knows of dozens of old-time Democrats in this imme- diate section who frankly declare that their ticket this year is “McCormick, Creasy and Pinchot.” Straws show The re- turns in November will show that this feeling pervades the State.—Cam- bridge News.

On the very day that this law became effec tive a workman by the name of Curtis W. Althen, a resident’ of York, Pa., was killed by a fall from the twenty-second floor of the new Equit- able building in New York city. He age and a child four years old. His earning capacity was about $100 a month. The claim was immediately taken up by the Commission adminis. tering the law and within three weeks from the time of the death of the workman®the wife received her first check of compensation money. Under the law she will receive $30 a month for life, unless she remarries, and her child will receive $10 a month up to the age of eighteen years. The Penrose Gang Responsible. Had this Pennsylvanian been at work in his own State, instead of New York, his young widow would today be without means of support and her only recourse would be a lawsuit ex: tending over a period or Years. It there was evidence that her husband was killed by an accident which could not have been forseen and pre- vented, or as a result of an act of a fellow employe, or if he had been in some way negligent himself, her claim would be dismissed. In any case she would have to make a half and half division with her lawyer for fighting her case. When workmen and all right-think ing citizens of Pennsylvania realize what a dastardly piece of . injustice has been perpetuated by the Penrose Republican machine in its control of the State Senate, they will think a long while “before voting to return Penrose to power and to place in of fice his chosen candidate, Dr. Brum: baugh, thus perpetuating the Penrose machine, which, Brumbaugh, himself says in a published statement it woud be treachery for him to repu iate. DR. BRUMBAUGH’S CANDIDACY At a Republican mass meeting, fol lodging house; lowing a meeting of the Republican State Committee at Pittsburgh last week addresses were delivered by Dr Brumbaugh, candidate for Governor, and United States Senator Penrose, candidate for re-election. The com mittee and the candidate, it is stated, launched a rattling State campaign, though Senator Penrose’s speech was much more moss-backed than progres sive. Candidate Brumbaugh an nounced that he had “no entangling alliances of any sort, and that he was under no promise, no agreement made or implied.” He doubtless had reference to Penrose and Republican machine politics in Pennsylvania. He did not say that organization Repub licans laid the Gubernatorial nomina tion at his feet and that he picked ii up. He did not say that, in the event of his election, he would turn a deat ear to requests made by the men whe helped to bring him high political honor. Dr. Brumbaugh is a pleasing orator. He is also an ardent politi cian. However, there be those whe can understand pretty clearly what is going on on the other side of a brick wall without punching a hole through the «wall.
