And yet six thousand props, each

20. How Sweet il Will Be"

What Utopia we are going to have
when all the measures pending be-
come law
There is the mining bill, with the
Inspector chosen by the sages who run
the PRIMARIES at McHenry's gate and
Oldtown the check weighman, sworn
by the assembly to catch the scale-boss
stealing weight, and several other
little elements of disturbance like that.
Next is the laughable scheme to
make mine superintendent say they
discharged IA man because he was
sporting Il pass word.
And then the semi monthly pay
device, which all the Legislatures be-
tween Barneygat and Kittyhawk can
not make law.
Probably there are some other things
of this character that escape notice
the more TIE worse as showing how
easy it is to get elysian notions legal
lied until heartless, unfeeling courts
come to weigh them in the intlexible
balances of immutable justice.
But if the JOURNAL should be mis-
taken in the judicial outcome, it will
be more than ever astonished and
overpowered with this retrospective
inquiry--why did not the people who
secured so many interferences with
the right of private contract, obtain
also law fixing wages at not less
than 30 cents ton 7
Why did they bother around the
e lges of The main question when there
was Just AS much constitutional
guarantee, Just AS much consistency
and Just AS much common sense IN
getting the main thing itself enacted
into law
1t might have not been so easy to
accomplish, because the whole ques-
ton involved would have then come
up on its merits.
Stll-with Legislature extra
ordinary and delegation eXtraordi-
nary. there is no telling what could
not have been done.
