Mennonites Moving to Texa..

A large band of Mennonites are about
to move from their homes in Kansas
and South Dakota and buy about II, 600
acres of land about Houston. They
bought the land they now inhabit about
20 years ago for 81 an acre and will sell
it for from $50 to $40 an acre. They
move to Texas because they can get
land there for almost nothing.

from the performance of which
they had been enjoined. But
it is not so. Defiance of an in
junction is contempt of court;
the merits of the action is not
allowed consideration, nor is
the defense entitled to a trial
by jury.
So long as courts are corrupt
the injunction is dangerous
weapon. And in the absence
of a trial by jury free institu-
tons are placed in dire peril.
It introduces a system of prac-
tice and precedence utterly at
variance with the spirit of
Anglo-Saxon jurisprudenceand
that, if allowed to stand, means
the death of popular govern

charge was perfectly estab-
lished when it was proven that
the men were unarmed. Eye
witnesses, among them the
principal of the local school,
relate how the shooting was
continued for ten or fifteen
minutes. Many of the victims
we're shot down on the run at
a distance of over a hundred
yards; others again were DELHI
erately killed after they had
sought places of concealment
and were trying to get away
from the vicinity unobserved.
The self defense plea is utterly
without foundation, except it
be on the theory that the sheriff
and his deputies had an eye to
their arraignment at some fu-
ture time before the courts and
were trying to simplify their
defense by killing off all the
adverse witnesses.

st. Louis county's affairs
during the past seven years
have been in elegant hands in
deed. County Auditor Halden
has discovered that eases
against several thousand real
estate descriptions, running as
far back as 1890, in which pro-
ceedings to collect delinquent
taxes were begun, have never
been placed on the calendar
and the judgments against
them have never been rem
dered. It might be edifying to
know who are the owners of
this property. Perhaps \ a
reason for the mistake might
become apparent. g

INJUNOTlONs.

All that an Injunction implies is the
keeping of the reace and the obedience
to law. says tho Chicago Tribune.
Those who would abolish injunctions
therefore do not want the peace kept
nor the laws obeyed. They favor the
arming of their followers against peace
and law.-News Tribune.
An injunction is issued on
the showing of one side to a
controversy. There is no in
vestigation as to what the
rights of the other side are.
Its, object is to prevent the
other side from taking some
contemplated action, which
may be not only per-
fectly legal, but also vitality
necessary to the protection of
the latter's interests. And
once the injunction issues the
enjoined party has no remedy
but submit to the imposition
and the loss that comes from
delay until, at the pleasure of
the court, the case comes to
trial. By this time usually
the parties applying for the en-
joining order have gained their
point through the enforced in
activity of their victims.
AS applied to labor difficult
ties it is resorted to only when
there is no possible grounds
for procedure under any stat
ute, because they have not
been attempted, and usually
is not intended any violation
of law. And it is so applied
that it prohibits, under the
penalty of punishment for con-
tempt of court, the lawful ex-
e1cise of undisputed individual
rights.
There would be less harm in
the exercise Of this power, if
men who detied the mandates
of the court were allowed to
plead the legality of the action
The labor world. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1896-current, 1897-09-25

IF, as the Chicago Tribune is
quoted as saying, call that an
injunction. implies is the keep
ing of the peace and obedience
to the law" why are injunc-
tons necessary at all? If a
man violates the law by break
ing the peace or otherwise, he
is subject to the punishment
of the law in the regular man
ner. If the regular way is not
good enough why not amend
the law? Here is the whole
cause of this rage after injunc-
tons. Some people want laws
that they dare not ask for or
cannot get from the law-mak-
ing representatives of the peo-
pie. Hence they buy them
from venal and corrupt men
whom they have had elected
to judicial positions. These
latter, unhampered by the pos
session of a conscience or the
necessity of getting a jury to
irst find their~victinnx guilty,
can close their eyes to justice,
law and common sense and
render a verdict exactly as or
dered by their owners.

OUR SHAM FREEDOM.

The other day business
man, a former subject of the
queen, from across the pond,
was asked:
"What would happen if such
an outrage as the Hazleton
massacre were to occur in Eng
1and?"
He replied:
"Such thing is never heard
of in the old country"
"But," persisted his inter
rogator, "supposing that it did
occur; suppose that some Off
cial lost his head and made a
break like this one: by that
Pennsylvania sheriff."
"Well, he would lose his
head" said the son of Gale
donia, significantly, land in
mighty short order"
There is no doubt of it. There
is not a country on Gods earth
anywhere that makes any pre-
tentions whatever at civilian
ton that would not have had
that sheriff behind the bars
himself before the sun went
down. Even Russia is shocked
at the blood-thirsty barbarity
Of our triumphant plutocracy.
But in America, the land OF
the brute and the home of the
slave, we do these things differ
rent. The sheriff goes about
performing with blood-red
hands his accustomed duties,
while the commonwealth that
should have sternly ordered
him to the bar of justice, to an
swer at the peril of his own
life for the scores of human
beings whom he has wantonly
murdered, provides him with
an escort of hOnOr-a body
guard of militia-to def the
mandates of it's own courts.
No, we don't arrest. murder
ers any more, if only their
crimes be committed in the
name of the Beast.

It costs nothing to shoot
down unarmed American Citi-
zens, but if the victims happen
to be foreigners say Russians,
for instance there is a calling
of the guilty authorities to &C
count and probably a suitable
indemnity to their relatives:
The moral of this seems to be
that if you want in this coun-
try adequate protection from
the brutal thugs Of officialdom
you had better become a sub
iect of the car. <

P1UrocRAcY,s REVISED VERSION

PLUTOCRACY'S REVISED VERS ION.
The daily papers, on the
whole, published much more
unbiased reports of the Halle
ton massacre than has been
their custom. The press
reports showed conclusively
that the murder of the striking
miners was wholly unneces-
sary and unjustifiable, and the
first editorial comments on the
occurrence were such as any
reasonable man would base on
the facts as described. !. ~.
Evidently the reporters at
Hazleton were green hands in
the service of the Associated
Press, and as soon as possible
efforts have since been taken
by their employers to correct
their departure from that mon
opoly's time honored custom
It was not for almost a week
after the event that the scien-
tific liars begin to get in their
work. and the editorial com
nents returned to their habit
ual plutocratic malevolence.
The people of the United
States, however, are not going
to reverse their judgment. It
is so seldom that a plutocratic
newspaper tells the truth
about an affair of this sort, that
the public is bound to remem-
Der for years to. come a case
where it does. Any revised
version will receive no. atten-
ton.

TO SOLVE THE CONVICT LABOR
PROBLEM

The attention of the bond
schemers is directed to the
policy adopted by the state of
North Carolina with respect to
it's convicts and public high
ways.
Convicts in that state, sem
fenced to less than five years,
and all victims of the, minor
courts, are put to work under
direct supervision of the state
on the roads.
BY this plan three things are
accomplished: First, convicts
are furnished with the diver
sion necessary to their mental
and physical well-being. Sec
ond, the labor of these unfor-
Inmates, while made of the ut
most economic value to the
community, is not brought
into competition with free labor;
and, therefore, has no tendency
to excite the hostility of labor
organizations, or to beat down
wages and with wages the
standard of living among the
common people. Third, this
policy is solving in that state
the good roads problem, which
in spite of the mercenary mo-
| tives of the instigators of the
good roads agitation, is a ques-
ton of the utmost Importance
to the industrial interests of
every community.
From Raleigh, Charlotte and
a number of other important
business centers, excellent
highways, either shell or
macadam, radiate in all direc-
tons towards the lesser cities
in the surrounding counties.
OF course we do not expect
the people who are urging on
the good roads agitation to be
satisfied with these results.
For, outside the bicycle and
agricultural interests, -. whose
concern in this matter is both
legitimate and comrnendable,
their motives are inspired. not
by any love for good roads, but
by their appetite for interest
which they scent, like vultures
from afar, in the bonds that, in
their schemes, are the inevit-
able precursors of highway i'm
pro'vements. The North Caro-
lima plan requires no bonds
and to all: legitimate interests
it will recommend itself, not
only with being in line with
the highest benevolence, but
as being both practicable and
profitable.
