Means Something Else.

The state of Minnesota has q re-
markable law whose constitutionality
is soon to be tested. It was designed
by the labor leaders, and provides
that no individual or corporation shall
refuse to give employment to members
of labor organizations, and severe
penalty is fixed on anyone who vio-
lates the law. Should the law stand,
Minnesota need have no more unem-
ployed people. All they have to do is
to ask some wealthy corporation or
person to employ them. Refusal
will ling on the head of the
capitalist penalty worse than paying
wages, even though he have no en-
ploy nent to give. What the law
probably intended to prevent was the
discrimination against members of
labor organizations because OF The fact.
but such DETERMINATIONS cannot be
prevented by law. In this country no
law lie possible to compel one man on
request to employ another, nor can he
be forced to explain his refusal to do

Tbs Rural Hsgira TO citis.

One of the remarkable social features
OF this erals the large and constant
movement of population from the
country to the cities, movement that
tends to rural depopulation. 1t is rot
confined to any country or any part of
the earth but is most marked in the
Oldest and most thickly populated
Countries of Europe.
1t is also u movement of consider
able Importance to this hemisphere
and in the newest of all civilized coun-
tries, Australia. 1t Is best stated,
perhaps, as disprOportionate growth
OF towns TO the ey eht that in the past
30 or 40 years there has been an &C
tual diminution of the rural popula-
tion In the greater portion OF Europe
and In many parts of this continent
and Australia.
oerhaps the movement has been
marked in Great Britain and Ireland.
The migration OF population from the
rural districts to towns was first ap-
parent in Wales In 1851 1t did not
become Of any Importance In England
until some 10 years later. During the
last 20 years eight counties in Eug-
land and three in Wales have lost 10
per cent of their rural populations;
that is, the rural population in those
counties today is 10 per cent less than
1t was 20 years ago. In some dis
tficts, particularly in the southwest
of the kingdom, the decrease in rural
population is as high as 20 to 80 per
cent.
In Scotland the movement toward
the towns began go years ago, and
parliament returns show that the de-
population has been much greater
than in England and Wales, but the
precise percentage is not stated. The
Highlands have suffered most. but
the Lowlands have also suffered
heavily. The returns quoted aver
that the formation of deer forests
which necessitates the dispositio, and
driving away Wholesale of very many
families, has played no important
part In the depopulation of the rural
districts. This indicates that to some
deeper underlying cause mu be as
cribed the great general exodus from
the rural regions.
The depopulation of Ireland has
been continuous and severe and gen
eral throughout the country. 1t has
n )t been a rural depopulatiOn only,
but general emigration from both
town aid country. 1t began before
the great famine of 1916 and has con-
tinued ever since. But even in Ire
land, with this general decrease of
population as Whole there has been
great increase in the population of
many towns. Belfast has increased
remarkably.
There seems to exist nowadays on
the part of many rural born persons
an aversion to country life, and, IL
would seem, an aversion that Is
spreading. Reasons to account for
this are plentiful and will readily be
conceived. Whether there 10 any
remedy and whether remedy Is re-
quired are other questions. - New

NEW ORLEANs, Sept. IL. The sugar
planters are bolting from the Democratic
party and great many OF the old line
Republicans held n meeting yesterday in
Plaquemane parish, at Point a la Hace.
There were about three hundre6 bolters
and about one hundred Democrats present..
Two special trains were run down from
New Orleans and the ride to friends was
free. The meeting was lively. James Will
kinson, brother of the collector OF the
port and boiling planter, addressed the
meeting, coming out squarely for the Re
publican party. He also drew up the res
olutions adopted In tho meeting, endors-
ing Republicanism and arranging the
party machinery. ExNaval Officer Ker-
nochan, VINO is a bolter planter, presided.
Republican speeches were made by State
Senator Estopinol aud George Mann, both
sugar planters, and by G.. Y. Anderson,
planter, but always a Republican. The
tenor of the speeches of the bolters was
strong for out and out Republicanism.
James Wilkinson, State Senator Estopi-
mol and Geo. r. Anderson are mentioned
in connection with the race for Congress
against the regular Democratic nominee.
