 LABOR'S FREEDOM-Membe of the l A. R. U. and other railway organiza-
 tions are very much excited over circu- lar issued October and mailed to all | employees of the Northern Pacific Rail- | way Company to-day. The letter is signed by John w. Kendrck, General Manager, and is as follows:
 'The Northern Pacific does not desire
 to take any part or interest in politics, on account of the strife it would engen-
 der, which would interfere with the eff
 ciency of it's service. It is ordered that
 all employees refrain from taking any ac-
 tive part in politics, and if any employees
 are nominated for office they must re-
 sign from the company's service" | The letter is a very embarrassing one,
 as about 20 employees of the Northern Pa
 cific have accepted nominations for office 1 in Minnesota, and several of them have | filed their papers.

 | WEIGHTS ADDRESS.-Carrou D. 1 Wright, U. s. Labor Commissioner deliv-
 cred an address before the Union League l Club, in which he said: At pres ent run business in his own way under certain cir
 cumstances. No man has a right to l the chief and sole control of his property
 if he injures his neigbbor either in his
 rights of property in his health. No
 man has complete control of his property
 under any circumstances that the public
 may think wrong. The right of eminent
 domain steps in and not only controls the
 action and the use of the property, but 1 the existence of it even. A man may not l turn a stream of water from his farm on-
 to the meadows of his neighbor if thereby
 he injures his neighbor. There are many 1 things which man may not do with his l property and do he chooses. He is | bound by certain laws, either by the com-
 mon statutory law or the law of the com-
 munity. He must submit to the wishes
 of the community in his own action as
 to his own property. Now, the two great
 questions which come up and which have
 been answered, whether man shall con-
 trol his own property in his own way, or, l as the Scripture puts it, ''Is it not lawful
 for me to do what will with my own?' i and these relate to the property and 1 health of one's neighbor. have no right
 to run my business, to employ my capital, I to undertake to control my own property | if thereby I injure the property of my
 neighbor or if thereby injure his health. | These two answers, therefore, have
 grown up in recent centuries, which were
 not thought of when this other. funda-
 mental question was asked by the vine- l yard owner.
