JUSTICE HARLAN's VIEW.
Petty Criminal Cases should Be Kept Out
of the Supreme Court.

Petty Criminal Cases Sh Ould Be Kept Out
of the Supreme Court.
ROCHESTER,, N. Y, June 18.-Justice
Harlan of the supreme court has been in
Rochester since Saturday visiting his
son. Judge Harlan expects to return to
Washington soon. When asked con-
corning the present condition of the
calendar of the supreme court he said:
"After a few years, probably after
three years, unless our Jurisdiction be
greatly enlarged, the court will be able
under the present system by the close of
each term to dispose of all the cases
that are on its docket at the beginning of
the term.
"In one respect there ought to be a
change. Under the existing laws many
criminal cases get to the supreme court
that ought to go to the circuit courts OF
appeals and be there finally determined.
at is to be hoped that the present law
will be so changed that no witt of error
will lie from an order of circuit court
of the United States refusing a writ of
habeas corpus in favor of one convicted
in the state courts of crimes against state
law, unless such error is allowed by the
supreme court of the United States or a
justice of the supreme court"

NEW YORK, June 15.-Among the

and mohairs, with their variations.
They do not crinkle, crease nor lose their
rich 1uster or their firm solidity. In
black there is nothing that can approach
them for usefulness when of good quail

Missouri Law Prohibiting Discharge of
Union Men Declared Unconstitutional.
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, June 18.-In the
supreme court today Justice Sherwood
filed an opinion declaring unconstitution-
al the law forbidding the discharge by
corporations of employees who refuse to
sever their connection with labor organi-
cations.
The law was enacted two years ago
and provides penalties ranging from q
fine of $50 to $1,000, and six months i'm
prisonment The court holds that this
law is class Legislation.
A non union man could be discharged
without notice and the law would not in
tervene, while union man could not be
discharged if his discharge was based
upon his connection with union.

MEDICfNz FOR THE POOR.
Pharmacist Bradley Says Doctors anu
and Not Druggists are Responsible.
RALEIGH. N. c.. Nov. ID.

| To the Editor of the News and observer:
| Mayor Russ then spoke earnestly of the
abuse of charity prescriptions, showing
that these prescriptions cost Raleigh 1851
| In July: $50. 40 in August; SS2 40ln september,
and $l153I i'm October, one of the healtnlest
| months in the year. The druggists charge
| the city an average of 1864 100 cents each.
| In New York city the charity prescriptions
cost ID cents each: in Wilmington 10 IL cents
| each and in Cincinnati less than cents.
He urged that action be taken to lessen TINS
expense and suggested that city physician
could be appointed and furnished at less
than the present cost.
May or Russ and Aldermen Drewry, Ever
EFT and White were appointed to take the
whole matter in charge.-From ednes-
day News and observer.
Your paper Of today has made an i'm
preston upon the people that the drug
gists of Raleigh are practicing extrava-
gance in charging the city for charity
med cine.
It appears to ME that this attempt to
lessen the cost of supplying medicine to
the outdoor poor, is not intended to be
done by the mayor, through the drug
gists of the city, but instead the needed
reform is expected through the physi-
clans.
Mayor Russ letter to the members OF
the Academy of Medicine, July 16, where
in he requested them to discontinue pre-
scribing proprietary prescriptions, as
they entail unnecessary cost upon the
city, seems to me to thoroughly verify
this view.
have the M-yor's word for it that he
wou d drop his warfare, provided Ger.
tain physicians of the city would cease
their extravagant prescribing.
No one for a moment would daresay
our Mayor is not right in this matter.
Let US review last months prescrip-
ton work THE s1l5 month"; and it will
be observed that the average cost OF the
proprietary prescriptions runs over 90 IA
CENTS.
Il is right here here the whole trouble
hinges, and The correctness of the May
ors statement to the Academy OF MeGi
cine verified. 1t il also evident that
ii physician ia appointed, as suggested
at the meeting Of the Aldermen last
evening, and this extravagant proceeding
continues, the evil would be worse, and
there would also be An additional in
crease of the appoin cd physicians sal
airy.
Mr.. Editor, let the blame be pat upon
the proper ones. The druggists of Raj
eigh do not charge too high for this
class Of work, and / deem it nothing
but just that the people who have been
wrongly impressed should know it.
Yours very truly,
