sated by money award.
We have before US now an exchange
that argues thus: "A company or cor
poration, manufacturer or a large in
tereat that can afford to wait should
wait, until it is damaged, before it hales
people before a court on injunction. If
it is injured by the act it fears it then
has its remedy in damages" But the
utter absurdity and unreason of that
claim are apparent. Suppose the par
ties who do the damage are irresponsi-
BILE? Suppose the act is a crime, and
the parties doing it are taken and
punished; how has the injured party
been recompensed?
OF course, injunction in the hands of
an unscrupulous and corrupt Judge can
be made a weapon of cruelty, and d
means of oppression. So, indeed, may
any issuance of any court order. But
because injunction may be corruptly
used, is that any reason for its aboli-
ton, any more than for the repeal Of
any other law that is misused? In the
case Of an unjustly imposed injunc-
ton, it happens that there, is a speedy
remedy There are other tribunals that
may be applied to. A hearing can be
had almost Immediately. and the
grieved party can come into a court
of law and force issues of fact to trial
before Jury of his country.
The truth is, as the Register puts
it, the law that restrains a man from
committing crime which would en-
title him to be tried before a jury is
good law" There are good and there
are bad injunctions, just as there are
good and bad men. But it does not
follow that the grant of injunction
should therefore be abolished any more
than it follows that all men should
be exiled because some men are bad.
One Of the speakers at the mass meet
ing held in San Francisco Wednesday
night to resolve concerning the removal
of the Supervisors, heatedly said with
evident approval by the audience, that
the meeting was held to brace up the
Supreme Court" Thereupon he went
on to say that in a previous case an ap-
peal had been taken to that tribunal,
and had not resulted to his liking; there
upon he thundered that the Supreme
Court must not do such a thing again,
it should take warning. etc, etc. Here's
a pretty pass, to be sure In what esti-
nation should court be held that could
be influenced by such utterance? What
sort of a court would it be that would
be intimidated into constituting the laws
according to the dictation of inffamma-
tory speakers and cut and dried mass
meetings? We have faith in the su-
preme tribunal of California that it is
neither cowardly, nor subject to in
fuences such as these: that it will hear
and determine the Supervisors case on
the law as it finds it. and the proceed
ings as taken, wholly gardless Of ''brac-
ing up or cowing down by mass or 9TH
er meetings. The utterance to which we
refer was a gratuitous insult to the
State. It was publication of the SLAM
der that our appellate court was so
weak and nerveless that it needs brac-
ing up; that its Interpretation of the
laws and exDositions of the Constitu-

ALLISON REFUSES THRICE.
Won't Become Secretary of State
Makes Trouble for Mckinley.

Cleveland, O., Jan. 7.-Senator VIM.
3. Allison has for the third time de-
clined the proffer of an Ohio born pres
ident to accept a position in his cabinet.
This is the position that President-elect
Mckinley finds himself in tonight as a
result of his visit to Canton and his
conference with Senator Allison. The
interview lasted from 1920 until lis,
when the gentlemen sat down to lunch
together
Senator Allison expressed his fullest
sympathy with and good wishes for the
incoming administration and expressed
his desire to do all he could to promote
its welfare.
He was decisive in the statement,
however, that he could not, with the
new senatorial term beginning with the
administration, give up his place in the
senate for an administrative office. In
explaining his regret at not being able
to accept a cabinet position, Senator
Allison gave Maj. Mckinley assurances
of his cooperation in the senate where
he felt that he could be of far more
Republican party
The decision of Mr.. Allison to remain
out of the administration is undoubted-
ly much of a disappointment to Maj.
Mckinley. His refusal opens up anew
old problems and complications, in
which the Ohio situation is most prom
inent, are now opened afresh.
It is said that the last thing Maj. Nc
Kinley did before leaving Canton yes

Plans For the Business Mems
Monetary Conference.
Likely NOnpartisan Commits
sion Will Be Appointed.
TO CONSIST OF FIFTEEN
Commission to Be Provided
With Ample Funds
So That 1t Can DO Its Work
Unhampered.

indianapolis, Ind, Jan. Tt has been
definitely settled that the monetary
conference which begins January u will
be held in Tomlinson hall. There have
been many acquisitions for space for
newspapers. A large part of the hall
will be reserved for local business men,
and especially those constituting the
reception committee. The galleries will
be open to the general public, but it is
probable that admission to the lower
floor will be by ticket Yesterday and
today the committee received a number
of requests from delegates asking for
hotel quarters to be reserved for them
Local members of the committee are of
the opinion that the convention will be
able to conclude its labOrs in two days
or three days at the outside.
The general feeling at present is that
the work will resolve itself in the ap-
pointment of a nOn-partisan, high class
commission of business men represent
ing as nearly as practicable the various
sections of the country. 1t is thought
that the commission should not consist
of more than fifteen members. 1t is
the idea of some of the members of the
committee that all of the appointees on
the commission should receive a salary
1t is believed that the commission
should be well supplied with funds, so
that there may be no hesitation in col
lecting data, calling in experts and Sc
curing written testimony as to the fin
ances of other countries.
It is thought that the money for these
purposes will be subscribed by the com
mittee of citizens throughout the coun-
try. 1t is expected that the committee
will make ARRANGEMENTS for the taking
of StenOgraphic reports of the proceed
ings of the convention, to be afterward
furnished to the delegates and others

VANCE SQUARE AGAINST 1T
He is Tenemently Opposed to the
DispensarY System.

If the attitude of President A. H.
Vance of the State Temperance union
is any Indication of the sentiment of
the members of that organization and
the temperance workers in the state,
and it is to be presumed that it is, the
state dispensary system idea. will be
buried deeply and forever at the. con-
ference in this city next week.
President Vance is squarely opposed
to the idea and announces his uralter-
able opposition to it. In conversation
with a Journal reporter upon the sub
ject, Mr.. Vance said today:
Il have no use COR the dispensarv
system to control the whisky traffic, i'll
any form. 1t is a fraud. The present
law in our state is the best law on the
subject that was ever enacted, in my
judgment OF course no law can be
framed that is perfect.
I observe that the man, who has no
use for the principle underlying the
statute and does not want it to become
the ruling principle in the community
is constantly finding fault with the
law, and bewailing the fact that it
that that kind of a man never has any
amendment to suggest that will ObVi-
