They Raised Old GLORY.

The Stars and Stripes were raised
over several public school buildings
in St. Louis Thanksgiving. The
Junior Order presented a beautiful
flag to Shaw school, named after the
w~ell-known philanthropist, and there
the exercises were very impressive.
Forty-four children, representing the
different states, made their best bow,
and told what each state had done.
This was followed by other exercises,
In which the flag was exalted. Hon.
Chauncey l. Filley delivered an ad-
dress, declaring that the children of
the Shaw school had taught him a great
object lesson. He told the girls about
the struggles of the women of the early
days-during the revolution and before
that time. He told the boys what good
citizenship meant, and urged them to
be always faithful and rue to "Old
Glory" and to stand by the public
schools. He spoke of the early days
of the public schools in St. Louis and
Missouri, and congratulated the people
OF st. Louis that their schools had
been pronounced by high authority
the best in the world. Mr.. Filley's
remarks received great applause, the
school boys especially being loud
shOuters. When the flag vas raised,
drawn up by a little boz and Il little
girl, hundreds of little Iags showered
down from its folds; and when it
caught the breeze, Inc hoated grandIy
over the school yard, a mighty shout
went up from the hundreds drawn to-
gether to witness the impressive eXer.

The Daughters of the Confederacv Oh
st. Louis gave their fifth annual ball
at the merchants exchange Thanks
giving night. This ball has come to
be looked upon by many as the crown
ing event of the society season. 1t is
not, however, merely as Il society event
that it is known. 1t brings together,
it is true, gallant men and beautiful
women, but with the beauty of woman
is blended the beauty of charity. The
proceeds of the ball are donated every
year to the eX-cOnfederate home at
H~igginsville, which is under the charge
Of the Daughters of the Confederacy.
The home was built by them at
an outlay of $40, 900 five years ago. 1t
takes nearly SIS, 900 a year to maintain
it, and as Il mean of ~defraying a por-
ton Of the expense the happy idea of
an annual ball was conceived. 1t isan
event, therefore, i'll which pleasure,
fashion and charity are equally blend
ed. There is n other feature which
gives it Il distinctive place in st. Louis
social life. 1t was originated by
women. as the idea Of the ex-confeder-
ates' home was originated by them.
There is a peculiar fitness in the fact.
As the daughters of the south minis
tered to the sulferings of the sons ..
the south thirty years ago, SO the
daughters of the south minister to the
wants of the sons of the south to-day.

MISSOURI A NEWS,
Rights o. Strikers Defined.

Some months ago the Hamilton
Brown Shoe Co. of st. Louis applied
to the st. Louis circuit court for an in
junction restraining strikes from in
any way interfering with working em-
ployes.
The injunction was granted. The strikers
claimed that il any orenSe had been commit
ted. it was i criminal one, emitting them - q
trial by jury. and that a court OF equity had no
jurisdiction over the matter, and appealed to
the supreme court.
With the full concurrence of the supreme
court. Judge Brace rendered the decision.
holding that while a court Of equity has no
jurisdiction over criminal proceedings. vet IN
injunction to protec, property from injury is
within the scope of authority OF such u tribunal.
Defining the rights Of employees, he says:
The injunction in this case does not hinder
the defendants from doing anything that they
claim they have a right To do. They are free
men, and have the right to quit the employ of
plaintiffs whenever they see fit TO do so. and 10
on" can prevent them, and whether their act Of
quitting is wise or unwiSe. Just or unjust. it is
nobody's business but their own. And they
have a right To use fair persuasion to induce
others u join them in quitting. But when
fair persuasion is exhausted. they have
no right to resort to force or violence.
The law will protect their freedom and their
rights. but it Will not permit them to affect the
freedom and rights Of others. The same law
which guarantees the defendants their right to
quit the employment Of the plaintiffs at their
will and pleasure also guarantees the other
employees to remain II their will and pleasure.
The defcndantSar are their own masters. hut they
are not the masters of the other employees. and
not only are they NOT their masters. but they
are not even their guardians"
