PORTLAND, ORE., JUNE 17, 1802
. L a bad rule of law.
" Thers la a rule of law, not contained In
P statutes bufc; enforced by the courts,
V that the employer must provide lor vlls
" Servants a safe place In which, to work
; .nd Safe appliance to work wlthi For
V Negligent failure to provide these,'' where,
fcjr lbs servant is injured, the law (Ives
him compensation la damagse tor the in
Jury recoverable from the (employer.
1 This rule Is rounded" upon a duty due to
the sertant Implied from the contract of
employment but alao upon a large ground
f publto policy. The stats has an Inter
. lest to the safety of Its cltlsens, and this
' MAit.a u JtnrvA Kv tinAltlriflr th em
jtfoytr liable for Us violation.'
Ala rule, however, U modified by an
other. ' Some occupations and the ma
chinery necessary are inherently danger-
.it It narnnt be antirelv removed. Thre-
.' fore a rule arises that a servant takes the
risk' Incident to such service, and If he
. Ja hurt he, cannot recover damages be
cause the injury is deemed, to occur by
InevltaBle accident, Wnd not from the
inef.fgM.ce of hie employer.
Bofr the justness of this rule is ap
parent, ' Blnce the Injury Is hot la each
case oauaed by any berach ot duty by
t the employer be ought not to suffer any
loss for what hs cannot help. Neverthe
less, when the work or the' machinery
": are Inherently dangerous, the employer
ought to take precautions commensurate
with the danger and to addpt such reason
able measures as will lessen the danger.
JnJbmr"potloy requires this also.
But another rule ot law baa been an
xiounced by the courts which is not a
good rule. Tt Is that ' when the . em
ployer' aeglicenuy .provides an unsafe
place to work or unsafe appliances, and
these are open to common observation, so
' that the servant knows,' or with reason
able care, ought to know the danger, and
fee la Injured, he cannot recover damages
tor the Injury. That Is to say, that ths
servant is required to take the risk not
' only of dangers inherent In the nature of
: xhe work or of Uie machinery, but also
endangers which are caused by the neg
ligence of his employer, If the servant
knew or ought to know of the danger.
In' other words, it is made an act of
contributory negligence defeating recov
ery by the sen-ant If be takes employ
ment under a negligent employer. The
servant under the necessity of earning
bis livelihood, Is made to take the chances
- of. getting hurt by the failure ot the
ciployer to do his duty, or refuse the em
ployment. That' rule overlooks the public, policy
' Which underlies the whole question. No
person ought . to bo permitted to make
ev contract that gives him Immunity for
negligently killing or maiming his servant.
It such a contract were written In ex
plicit terms, no court would hesitate to
declare' It void, and yet the effect of the
" role referred to Is the same as If these
terms, were written in it.
it is unjust also because the stress of
earning a living will often compel a man
to enter such service, And he is - not,
therefore, a tree agent la doing so.
- The rule is unjust also, because the
servant la charged not only with what hs
Viiowi, but what a reasonable person
ought to know about the danger, and the
court. Bitting In earety and unperplexed,
determines tor , him what, under the cir
cumiianeos, hs ought to have discovered.
Vanlfftlv the difficulty of correctly de-
' tf r.nW.l 'g this question by the court
tn&kea 'I. s vpinlon of uncertain- value. It
IS one thing to apprehend a danger in
the stress o! labor before an accident,
t-
end ar.otbtr to point it out after the
. event has demonstrated It, and after a
deliberate examination aided by the
aeumen 6 fthe lawyers.
This is a court-made Iaw and the
remedy is to change It by Legislative en

A FRIENDLY WORD.
It may not be amiss at this period o
The Journal's existence to refer modestly
to Its achievements and ambitions. This
is a business enterprise and Is intended
primarily to Wake money for Its proprie'
tors. As with other enterprises It recog
nises that 16 must deserve the patronage
of the public In order to receive It Its'
effort to deserve this patronage has met
with, such encouragement in .the Increase
of its business as to justify the belief that
it Is acceptable to the people.
A newspaper has a double function, ft
must give the news and it must exercise
influence by the candor and justness of
lis editorial utterances. In respect of
the first It is under pbllgations to dis
criminate, between What Is Important and
what Is less Important and to present cur
rent svents with accuracy and brevity. In
respect of the second, it Is bound to ex
erdse Its influence for the public good
and Wfjth no other purpose. When
newspaper advocates any object osten
sibly in the interest Of the people, but
in reality for somej secret and private
design, it has violated its implied com
pact. Under the guise of a public tunc
Uohary It is a private organs and forfeits
the confidence which its professions In

Needless to say, THE JOURNAL HAS
COMB TO STAT.
THAT ALASKA LINE.
W. O. Olaflce, a prominent wholesaler
of this city) indorses The Journal's previ
ously expressed views on ths subject of
the Alaska trade and Portland. He stated
In yesterday's Journal that he helteved
ample returns would come from the
Inauguration of such ah enterprise.
Mr. Qlatke has voiced a demand that
Is gaining in strength. Borne day, per
haps, Portland will realize the need ot the
Situation and more In the proper direc
tion. Persons of good judgment who come
from Alaska and British possessions In
the Far North assert that that region is
In only the Initial stage of development.
Vast deposits of gold are there and other
industries are forging to the front. Trade
already , is heavy and is Increasing each
year. It is not being secured by Portland
business houses. Recently, a party of
Portland business men T. E. Fell and hU
partners went North with several car
loads of machinery and provisions. They
were compelled to ship via rail to Seat
tle, thence to transport the freight by
water. It was only because they lived
here, had personal connections with Port
land houses, and were loyal to- the town
In which they lived, that they did not
purchase their supplies in Seattle.
It la annoying to the average cltlsens of
Portland to know that all this rich trade
Is being neglected. They know no reason
why it Is so. They know onlyithat it Is
so, and -wonder that such opportunities
are overlooked.
Mr. Oosch has demonstrated the adver
tising value ef the Oregon exhibits ajthe
Buffalo and Charleston Expositions. He
says that the Charleston exhibit has, to
his own knowledge, resulted in more
business than would pay the Whole cost
of the exhibit
CREDIT TO OTHERS.
Much of the credit ot the election of
Mr. Chamberlain to the Governorship is
due the other candidates on the state
Democratic ticket Messrs. Raley, Wann,
Blackman. Bonham, Godfrey, , Sears,
Butcher and Weatherford. They In
augurated vigorous campaigns and devot
ed valuable time to canvassing the state.
There was no time When these men
thought theywere goln to be elected.
The situation wss Such si t warrant no
hops of ths JeTectI6fiTpT anyone " oh the
ticket excepting ' Miv Chamberlain, and
yet the letter's associates on the ticket
lent their undevlatlhf support to ths
principal '- candidate , and displayed a
lovalty that is remarkable, raw.. la.
stances are on record of citlsens going
out asdid those herein mentioned and'
laboring for the triupph' of bettyer gov
ernment, with no hope of success for
themselves. That credit be given' them
The Journal, even thus late after the
close of the campaign, has pleass.ee In
making this statement
U country papers return, belated
eehos of the morning paper's f ulmlnatlons
against the Republicans whd have failed
to do proper homage at the shrine of
the new Republican dlety. If these edi
tors will consider the true source of the
trouble they will be better able to discuss
it The fact of such widespread disaffec
tion is prof enough of a just cause for it.
That cause is not far to seek. Tb Iron-
handed rule that marked the proceedings
of the convention was just ground for re
volt The blame, therefore, should be
placed where It belongs. Instead of an
athemas hurled at the heads of Repub
licans approved by long and loyal service
the real offenders should, be held re
sponsible. The plan was from the 'first
to clear the field of all rivals for the
United States Senatorshlp and It is pur
sued with diligence. No man who ven
tures to eppose the dynasty can escape
detraction. Never before in the history
of Oregon politics was there so compre
hensive a scheme to destroy rivalry and
annihilate opposition. The conspiracy ts

The Prime Minister does not appear to
greatly relish the exercise, and there is
little or no doubt that were It not for
the benefit which he expects to derive
from It he would Infinitely prefer o stick
closely to his official duties, or devote
the time so spent to following up the sci
entific recrations of which he is known
to be so fond.
The German Emperor is not yet old
enough to have put on flesh to any in.
convenient extent but he Is said to have
recently taken keen pleasure in .the gams
of ping-pong, and to have expressed his
belief , that the exercise so taken has had
a good effect upon his health. It may be
mentioned that he was first induced to
give his distinguished attention to this
modern game through the fact that his
I uncle. King Edward Vlt., not long - ago
presented him with a very handsome set
of ping-pong accessories.

1S86 the Are loss of the country waa over
$100,000,000, the cost of sustaining lnsur-j
ance companies about $35,000,000, and of
sustaining fire departments about $25,000,
000. Experts maintain that much of this
loss could be saved by better construction
and greater skill and care in the use oi
property.' The 'drink bill' o'f the country,
at prices paid the 187,781 dealers licensed
in 18S3 was estimated by D. A, Wells al
$474,888,000. The lose to the eublle through
the 68,265 criminals in jail In 1880 was, oi
course, enormous. Our pauper population
also greatly swells our expense account

loss involved in these Items"
