report of the Employer Liability
Coramlesion and the commlulon'i pro
po.ed employers liability and work
rr.eo'a compensation bill. ' accompanied
by a intiHKi arajlna; the enactment of
tba measure, which la tha meat ad
vanced piece of liability lcUlaUoa
jet presented.
Tba President acts forth that tha
proposed law not only wooVd laeure

Interstate coontrci quick adjustment
cf their clalma for damac-e. but alao
vreokl relievo the courta of a vast
amount of work and enable then to ad
minister Judicial affairs with creator
is patch.
"I sincerely hope that the act will
pass." says the Iresklent. '-I deem it
one of the greatest steps f proitreas
toward a satisfactory solution of an
Important phase of the eontroveralee
between employer and employe that
have been propoeed within the laat two
er three decades.
Reply Made ta Obfevtloaa.
The main provisions of the measnre
are aketched in the message, and Mr.
Taft takes np and disposes of three
objections advanced by Its opponents.
-In the first place." says the Presi
dent, "the question arises whether, un
der the provisions of the commerce
clause the bill could be considered to
tie a regulation of Interstate and for
eign commerce. That seems to be, al
ready settled by the declsioa of the
fcupreme Court la the employers' lia
bility oase.
"The second question Is whether the
making of these remedies exclusive
and the compelling of the railroad com
panies to meet obligations arising from
injuries for which the railroad would
cot be liable under the common law.
Is a denial of the due process of law
which Is enjoined upon Congress by the
fifth amendment to the constitution In
desllng with property rights. This
question, the report takes up. and. In
an exhaustive review of tha authorities,
makes clear, as it seems to me. tha
validity of the act. It la sufficient to
say that ths argument of the commis
sion Is most convincing to show thst
the police power of the Government
exercised In the regulation of interstate
commerce Is quite sufficient to Justify
the Imposition npon ths Interstate rail
road companies of the liability for the
Injury to its employes on aa insurancs
basis.
Trial y Jsnry Preserved.
-The third obJecUon is that ths right
cf trial by Jury, guaranteed by the
seventh amendment. Is denied. As a
matter of fact, the right is preserved la
lata act by permitting a Jury to pass
on the issue when duly remanded. In
accordance with tha limitations of ths
act.-
Prealdent Taft then alluded to the
Urged Iniquities attending personal
Injury litigation. lis declares that
ptrjured testimony, emotional Jurlea
and badly constructed laws limiting
liability have tended to hamper the
administration of exact Justice, while
the heavy expense of litigation has
rendered It almost Impossible for the
poor man to command his rights. In
re'errins; to the conditions because of
IMs form of litigation, the President
lay":
"The administration of Justice to
day Is closs-ed In every court by the
IT r rot number of suits for damages for
personal Injury. Ths settlement of
such cases by this system will serve
to reduce the burden of our courts one
half by taking the cases out of court
and disposing of them by this short
cut."
The report la accompanied by tha
draft of a bill In which ths commission
ellmlntates ths common law doctrine
cf negligence with what It character-'
Izea aa tne unjuat defenses of assump
tion of risk, f'llow servants' fault and
contributory negligence.
Compensation, with a general basis
of an equivalent to one-half wages. Is
to be paid In every case except where
Injury or death la caused by 'ne willful
Intention of ths employe to Injurs him
self or another, or In case of Intoxica
tion on duty.
Esalaye Gets Larser Snare.
Ths combined railroad companies ef
the country ars paying out to thslr
employes for actions In settlements and
Judgments approximately tlMai.Ott;
and ths proposed law. as nearly as ths
commission can sstlmato It. will raise
this by Si per cent.
Figuring on the periodical payments
extending over a term of years, and
capltallxed at I per cent, the commis
sion points out that for every dollar
the employes and their dependents
now receive they would receive a sum
vary much In excess of ILSS.
It says that during 10. 10 and
111 tha railroads paid $14,100.00 In
settlements and Judgments alone on
by the beneficiaries would reach an
aggregate of 114.000.000 annually. It
points out that for every dollar the rail
road oompanlea ars compelled to pay
under existing law they will under ths
proposed law pay approximately tl.IS.
account of the death of nearly 11.00
workers, and $:i. 331.000 approximately
for permanent or temporary disabling
Injuries, aa well as su.is-inins; en vw
nomto loss of ltl.U4.000 days.
Tha proposed bill declares that It Is
ths policy of Congress to consider the
huMas of carmen ts for personal In
juries as an element of the cost of
transportation, and directs ths Inter
state Commerce commlealon to recog
nlxe and give effect to this policy. The
bill would provide that svery common
carrier engaged In Interstate or foretga
commerce by railroad shall pay com
pensation to an employe who sustains
personal Injury In Una of duty or to
his dependents In case of his death. It
makes the remedy exclusive by reason
of the compensation being oomplete
satisfaction. It abolishes all existing
common law and statutory remedies,
end appllee to all railroads In ths Dis
trict of Columbia aa well. It would
exclude from compensation the first
14 calendar days, except that the em

IT would be a work of aupererOgatlon
at this time of day to dwell on the
splendid sorrow of 8hakespeare's great
tragedy of -Hamlet." In all Its somber
besuty Robert B. Msntell produced the
play at the Heillg Theater laat night,
using Edwin Bootha version, which
nothing can drain of Its fineness or rob
of Its mysterious charm.

tion requires pepsin, nitrogenous fer
ments, and the secretion of hydrochlo

these agents are lacking In your di

Ptuart's Dyspepsia Tableta contain
nothing but these natural elements
necessary to digestion and when placed
at work In the weak stomach and
small Intestines, supply what thess or
gans need. They stimulate the gastric
glands and gradually bring the diges

subjected to critical chemical tests at
home and abroad and are found to con

vsrslon of "Hamlet" Is a clear and
definite note of distinction. Whether or
not the melancholy Dane be fat or thin
la of no consequence. In comparison
with this momentous question of the
distinction of his mind. Robert Man
tell's Hamlet la hand m glove with a
brooding on the Insoluble mysteries of
life, death and responsibilities.
Primarily we feel that his melan
cholia has Its foundation on Incontro
vertible grounds, excused by genius
and enforced with eloquence.
Hamlet is. In truth, the one charac
ter known to stage literature wherein
melancholia Is brilliantly Justified.
Were It - otherwise we would, willy
nilly, be forced to accept him In ac
cordance with the modern belief that
melancholia Is but dullness or, at the
most, mere Indigestion.
vr nn la In averv essential
a brooding, somber figure, obviously as
suming a madness, ana a pniiunvpuer.
No mere description In printed words
can .convey the mortal heaviness the
actor puts Into the lines,
"How weary, stale, flat, unprofitable
Seem to me all the uses of this world."
And almost perceptible is the flicker
of great energy with which he cries.
"But break, my heart, for I must hold
my tongue."
The story of the apparition he takes
with eager surprise, standing alert,
keen to hear, questioning sharply and
quickly: "Armed, you sayt" "From top
to toe." "What looked he? Frownlngr
"Pale or redf "And fixed his eyes upon
your; esch question ringing out. And
then, having learned all his messengers
i t.ii in deen nasslon. as If self-
communing, Mantell s Hamlet says: ."I
would I had been there.
When Horatio says familiarly. It
ni hav. much amazed you," the an
swer comes, "Very like, very like,"
spoken as If In protest to one who dares
Intrude upon me uiuvu
emotions.

speech beginning "the play's the tn'"-"
carries, and correcuy, " '
Hamlet accidentally falla upon the
first thing that presented Itself as hav
ing the appearance of forwarding his
plans for vengeance, and not. as many
actors portray It. aa Ignoble cunning.
Mantell's distinction In the appari
tion scene makes it clear that Hamlet,
now Is not so much a philosopher as
the son of a dear father, foully slain.
The majority of us recall Hamlet as

character set apart. Mantell makes
ua realise all this, but lends strength
to an Illusion that had Hamlet been
born a peasant, he would have been
till a poet, a walker on the heights,
iad aloof In spirit. Hamlet's mental
Isolation forms the real tragedy.

notes of exquisite tenderness the linos,
"The fair Ophelia! Nymph In thy or

Mr Mantell has displayed great
acumen and foresight in selecting a
splendid support.

Impassioned lines was musical In qual

Miss Keith Wakeman Is a beautiful
Ophelia. She is an acress capable or
sustained emotion, and managed ex
cellently the cumulative efforts, and
her mad scene was a picture of pa
thetic resignation to grief.
Laweon Butt handled capably the
role cf Claudius, snd Genevieve Reyn
olds gave a careful study of Gertrude,
being especially meritorious in her
scenes with her son, Hamlet.
In ths role of the old grave-digger,
Edward Levers contributed the only
gleam of humor in a tremendously sad
play John Burke read his lines as the
Ghost. In splendid voice, and Guy Llnds
iey gave fine-accounting of the role
of Horatio.
The 1 roductlon was staged on a scale
of real splendor, and was a treat to
lovers of the beautiful.
