That was a good idea Of the
court in personal injury case the
other day when it granted the re-
quest Of the defense that the
judge, jury, counsel and witnesses
on both sides should go to the
factory and see for themselves the
machine which was alleged to
have such a powerful suction as
to draw in the operators hand.
The case had been tried before,
and on such representations a
verdict of $4,000 was given for
the plaintiff. The verdict was set
aside by the, supreme court on the
ground that the alleged suction
was not proved. Hence the court
adjourned to the factory that the
jury and all concerned might see
for themselves, with the result
that even the counsel for plaintiff
was convinced that the action of
the machine produced a strong
current from instead of towards it,
and on his own motion the case
was dismissed. Yet in the p1 e.
vious trial the mere improved al.
legation of the plaintiff of state
of facts directly opposite to those
which actually existed was stuff.
cient to induce them to infict a
verdict of $4,000 against the own
ers of the factory. The we'll
known disposition of the average
jury to render verdicts against a
firm or corporation in favor of any
person injured in it's employ, with.
out regard to the case, is dis
astrous to the business interests OF
the community. Men having
money to invest will be slow to
invest it in enterprises whose en-.
tire profits for a var may be
swept away by these outrageous
verdicts. And, moreover, in
nearly all cases, although these
verdicts are dictated by sympathy
for poor men, most of the mon ey

member, has not Investigated the t.la-
Dor problem" to much purpose.
In this connection am reminded
that recently there has been some talk
in printers circles regarding the excep-
tional growth of the Typographical union
during the past year and the effect it is
alleged this increase of membership has
had upon the state Of the trade. In con-
sequence of the business depression and
also because of the increased use Of ma
chimes the number of unemployed COM
positors is greater now than at any time
since the organization of the union. To
meet this condition some probably we'll
meaning but certainly short sighted
members Of the union are advocating a
discontinuance Of organizing-refusal of
admittance to applicants for member
ship. The International union could do
nothing more foolish than to follow the
advice of such counselors. As an alb
stract principle, there never is a time
when labor should push the work of
organization more than in dull season.
AS a matter Of fact, when work is
scarce there is more need for a union,
and the nearer it comes to embracing all
the workers at the trade the better it
can afford protection to it's members.
know the arguments on the other
side. They are that, the situations being
lessened in number. while the member
ship is increased, the older members Of
the union have fewer chances for places
because of the greater number of appli-
cants made eligible through their con-
nection with the union. Another argu-
ment is that the union is to an extent
obligated to assist members, either by
assessment, subscription, limiting the
days regular may work each week or
by voluntary subbing.
1t seems to me that a conclusive an
swer to all this is found in the fact that
it has been through the union and its
extension that it's members have achieved
a position that is worth protecting. n
may be well to remember that lack of
work is just as apparent among the un-
organized as with the organized, and if
the number of situations is temporarily
decreased the number of nonunionists
who are looking for work is increased,
and everybody knows that the only i'm
pediment to the supremacy of the union
is the army of unorganized craftsmen.
If the union had a guarantee that none
but its members would ever be recog-
niZed in the Offices where it now has con-
troll, and all who are now union men
were selfish to the point of disregarding
the rights of others to assume the obi
cations of unionism and enjoy it's privi-
leges, then the proposition to put up the
bars would have some claims to common
sense. But the guarantee is sadly lack
ing and would get farther away if the
growth in the trade all went to the I'M
organized wing.
No, this is not the time for the Typo
graphical union to suspend initiation.
If might be allowed to drop a hint,
would say get every printer in the coun-
try into the union as quickly as possible,
and then do some sensible legislating on
the machine question. The machine has
pulled us off the high horse once. We
didn't think it could be done, but it has
been done. Now let US look ahead and
look rapidly. Jos. R. BUCHANAN.

every possible form in which the article
could be imported. The duty on cleaned

Muzz1ind the Press,

Muzz1ing the Press. ..-.
An Iowa legislator intro duced a
bill to prevent newspapers from pub
fishing reports Of prize fights but it
was quickly knocked out by the SEN
ate judiciary committee. Such a
law would be clearly unconstitu-
tiOnal, being an interference with
the liberty Of the press, just as is
John Day Smiths law in this state,
forbidding newspapers to publish
the details Of hangings. The news
papers paid no attention to the
Smith law, which is a monument Of
asininity, and neither it's author nor
the county attorneys have dared to
prosecute any one under it's provis-
ions.
The freedom Of the press is SO fully
guaranteed by the constitution that
it is strange that any legislator
should imagine that it can be re-
stricted by legislative enactment.
The judges that imagine they have
power to prevent publication of evil
dence of certain cases are equally as
tray in their ideas, as one Culiforni a
Judge found out to his sorrow not
many months ago. He ordered a
ne wspaper not to publish report
Of a case. OF course the newspa per
treated the order with the contempt
it deserved. Then he fined it's editor
for contempt OF court.
The editor at once appealed to the
supreme court, relying upon his con-
stitutiOnal right, and that court de-
cided in his favor. Not only did he
win his case, but he saddled all the
costs on the Judge OF thelowercourt,
who was SO ignorant OF the con-
stitutiOn that he thought he could
muzzle the press. 1t cannot be done.

The farmers of Minnesota are
rapidly waking up to the impor-
lance of mixed farming. Among the
agencies which are doing effective
work in arousing the needed inter
est IN this subject are the farmers
institutes. They are of great use,
too, in disseminating the sound
lessons of practical experience on
the best methods Of farming, and
in this line the farmers learn a
good deal from each other. Never
theless there are occasional out.
groupings Of what may be called
old fogyism in some of their ideas.
For example at St. Peter farmer
is quoted as saying: eve cannot
easily make success Of growing
pork in this Western country
without growing clover and corn"
This particular farmer is behind
the times. For the fact has been
demonstrated by the experience of
many farmers, even IN the great
corn state Of Illinois, that hogs
can be reared and fattened as
cheaply on low grade wheat, wheat
screenings and barley as upon
corn, and that pork thus made is
of far better quality than the
corn-fed article. So that it is not
necessary, as this farmer urged, to
push corn growing a hundred
miles north tof the climate in
which it naturally fourishes in
order to raise hogs. He has far
better hog food in the cereals
which are best adapted to the
climate.-Pioneer Press.

ITO arrest all these patients in

purpose of saving expense to the

be outrageous. 1.-THE law and the
declsslon OF the supreme court is
to be obeyed in good faith, and
witnesses brought from distant
counties to prove the necessary
facts, the, expense would be enor-

ing of convenience. Besides the
evidence to commit most of these
patients cannot be obtained in the
counties where hospitals are, as
officers Of the institution are pro-
hibited by law from acting as ex-
aminers in lunacy, and to commit
a person upon the testimony of
such officers, by other examiners
in lunacy would be a plain viola
ton Of the spirit of the law.

Some of the counties which have
patients illegally committed to the
hospital are doing good deal of
wailing over the little expense
which they will be put to in recon-
hitting their insane. They are try
ing to put all the responsibility
for the trouble on the hospital au-
thorities. Every intelligent man
knows that the hospital authori-
ties did not want the law declared
unconstitutional, first because
they believe it a safer law for the
people than the one which it re-
enacts; secondly they did not want
the patients who were fast recov.
ering health and mind, excited as
they will be Ky recommitment;
and lastly they did not want the
people subjected to the great and
unnecessary expense. But as the
board says in it's resolutions SO
long as any laws remain not de.
clared unconstitutional they want
the patients legally committed, 50
that the people cannot censure the
hospital authorities for OBTAINING
patients which they have no right
to hold. The Duluth Tribune
says that the St. Louis county com.
missioners are not disposed to put
their county to the expense of re.
committing its insane. They say
that the hospital authorities
should continue to hold them
