COMMON LAW
is ion uw
The bill of Doctor Boyle for the
abolition of the common law doc
trine Of assumption of risk Is one
o* the best measures which have |
been Introduced in the present leg
islature.
Uuder the English common law,
a man who accepted employment
took all the chances from defective
machinery and careless or incompe
tent fellow workmen. It was the
theory of the law that if a man wen ,
to work at any place, it was his
duty to look over tho conditions
which prevailed, determine the com
petence ol the men with whom he
was expected to work, and if he
continued to work it was at his own
risk. The common law of England
was adopted in the United States
on every ai'bject where there was
no statute, at a very early day, and
applied, blanket wise,, to American
jurisprud-uce.
In most of the states, the supreme
courts have held that this assump
tion of Hsu applied to large con
cerns as well as small concrens.
There was at least one glorious ex
ception to this. In Kausas the su
preme court held that the common
law as defined by the courts of
England did not apply, and under
that theory of the common law
which contends that there is a law
on every subject, although it may,
until the hour of the derision, slum
ber In the breast of the judge, the
court hold that it was the duty of
'he employer to select the safest ma
chinery and in engaging men for po
sitions in which the workingmen
held the lives of their fellows In
their hands, to choose only compe
tent men. The decisions of the
Kansas court stand out gloriously
among other decisions of the courts
of other states.
Everywhere the Justice of the po
sition taken by Senator Roden is
b< ing conceded by all classes. It is
now the theory ? not of the law, but
of men ? that industry should boar
?h cost of industry, even in the
<oct of human life and human limbs
Similar measures to that of Sena
tor Roden have been passed in many
states, and the mesure has never
faide-l In any state where the pet>
ple control.
A similar measure has been in
troduced by Senator Roden in the
upper house. ?Juneau Dispatch.
SENATOR 1AX.NER HOSTILE
TO WHITE I'ASS RAILWAY*
Juneau, March 24 ? The commit
tee substitut for Senate Joint Me
morial No. 2, by Bruner, came up
in the Senate Wednesday morning
as the special order of the day. Th9
substitute recommended that Con
gress pass an act for the relief of
iho Seward Peninsula Railroad, by
remitting the aunual license tax of
$100 pc* mile.
Senator Millard offered an amend
ment which would include all of
the railroads in Alaska, stating
(hat he was opposed to class legis
lation; that it would be unjust to
remove the tax on one railroad that
was opratwt at a loss and retain it
on another that was running at a
loss simply because one company
was broke and the other rich. The
Copper River road lost more in cal
amities every ytar than the earn
ings amounted to. He was speaking
for the roads of his division. The J
country could not develop without
capital and capital would not be
available if subjected to unjust and
(burdensome taxes.
Senator Tanner strongly opposed
th-^ amendment because it would re
lieve the White Pass & Yukon from
paying tax on its 18 miles of track.
This line he said was paying a large
dividend; that it was a monopoly
and he was not in favor of robbing
t! e indigent fund to allow this com
pany to keep that portion of its ex
tortion money now paid back in
taxes. He read from a report
showing that $1,200 per car load
was charged for a haul of 6u milos.
The steamship Princess Sophia, af
ter being "renovated, repainted, re
repaired and having an oil burning
system installed to take the place
ol her coal burners, will make the
next two trips to Skagway in place
f 1 the Princess May. She will be
due here April 2.
DOING.
Not what I have, but what I do,

combination of these two, a certain

FASTIDIOUS AUTHORS.
Campbell Took a T w?lv? Mil* T ramp
t? Chang* a Comma.
It l? surprising bow punctilious some
authors have been with respect even to
the smallest detail of their manu
scripts Dickens was a perfect terror
aud would make enough fuss over an
error of punctuation to drive a poor
"comp" out of his wits.
Tennyson, too. was most particular
that not a comma should be omitted
or misplaced, while bis revisions were
never finished. Perhaps the greatest ;
terror of the compositor was Thomss
Carlyle. for he would cover every
square Inch of vacnnt space, both in
the margin and between the lines, with
minute additions nnd emendations, and
not once, but a dozen times.
Victor Hugo was equally difficult to
please and satisfy. Of one of his fa
mous works be made the printers sup
ply no fewer than eleven successive re
vised proofs, and the last half dozen
were furnished In order to make quite
sure that the commas were In their
tight places
Hut perhaps Thomas Campbsll, the
famous poet who wrote such atlrrlng
masterpieces as "Hohenllnden," "The
Rattle of the Baltic" sud "Ye Mariners
of England," takes the cake In this re
spect lie was fastidious to s degree,
which fnct probably accounts for the
small quantity and perfect quality of
his literary output It Is said that he
once walked six mllea to bis printers
and six miles back tn order to bare a
comma changed Into a semicolon.
Rut an equally careful and fastidious
literary workman owed a great Im
provement in the opening line of his
most famous |>ocm to a printer Thla
\v:iff Thomas dray, whose "Elegy
Written In a Country Churchyard" is
probably the best known poem In the
English language Its first line rends,
"The curfew tolls the knell of parting
diy." but when (Jroy sent It to the
press his manuscript rend. "The cur
few tolls, tbe knell of pnrting day."
The thoughtful compositor did not un
derstand the word "tolls" as an In
transitive verb, so dropped the comma,
thinking tbe poet had put It In by mis
take, and when Gray read the line his
sensitive ear at once caught Its new,
sustained melody, and be adopted tbe
compositor's correction.
INOPPORTUNE DEATHS.
Man Who Might Have Changad Hia
tory Had They Baan Spared.
Julius Caesar won assassinated when
be bad almost completed the' task of
consolidating the administration and
dominion of (be Roman empire, and
bis death opened the way to that des
potism and corruption which ultimate
ly undid bis work.
Benry of Navarre was killed when
he hnd almost healed the differences
between Cnihoiic and Protestant
which subsequently rent not only
France, but Europe, and William the
Silent n!so fell when be was on the
point of uniting the Netberland proy
inces into a - compact barrier against
the encroachments of Spain.
In English history Lord Cllve died
at the moment when be was the one
man who could bare saved the Ameri
can colonies and kept the Anglo-Saxon
race united

A Grewioma Toy.
War and bloodshed seem always to
have reacted on the nursery. In 1703.
for Instance, the German child was hu
mored with a toy guillotine for Christ
mas. and Goethe wrote to his mother
at Frankfort asking her to send one
of these little instruments for a boy
friend. M mo. Goethe was Indignant
"Dear son." she wrote. "1 hare only
one desdre. and that Is to giTe you
pleasure I will execute any command,
but buy such nn Infamous machine of
slaughter I will not in any circum
stances If I could I would arrest the
makers and burn such toys by the ex
ecutioner."
She Hadn't Thought of That.
"Marriage brings Its awakenings."
"Yes," sighed the other lady "I re
member that 1 as a bride was thunder
struck to Ox:d that my husband, after
a limited amount of going to pink teas
and matinees, bnd to go back to work
and support the pair of us."? Pitts
