since the Civil war has been evolved
from the disturbed relations between
powerful corporations and their serV-
ants or employees. It cannot be possible
that the State has no police power ade-
quate to the protection Of society against
the recurrence Of such disturbances,
which threaten to shake civil order to Its
very foundations. Collisions between
capitalists and the workingman endan-
ger the safety of the State, stay the
wheels Of commerce, discouraging manu-
featuring enterprises, destroy public con-
fidence, and at times throw an idle pop
ulation upon the bosom Of the commu-
nifty. Surely the hands Of the Legisla-
ture cannot be so restricted as to pro-
hibit the passage of laws directly in
tended to prevent and forestall such col
lisions."
Mr.. Boyle is confident Of another vic
tory. In case he wins he will at once
take steps to enforce the laws.
The Advocate and news., 1898-03-09

that the imposition Of conditions which
degrade, debase and lmpoverish should
be prohibited, and that the right to con-
tract to work under such conditions
should be withdrawn and that such ac-
tion does not abridge the liberty of any
one. AS evidence that these abuses do
exist, he calls attention to the fact that
the Legislature felt called upon to leg
islate against them 1t is the duty Of
government to correct and prevent fur
ther abuses in this line.
Decisions setting forth that the holder
Of property holds 1t with the knowledge
that the State has right, through the
exercise Of its police power, to enact such
restrictions as will prevent its use from
being injurious to the equal enjoyment
Of the rights Of others are cited.
One of the strongest arguments in ia
vor Of the constitutionality Of these laws
Is the citation of the decision Of the West
Virginia Supreme court, in 1892, in a
mining case. In this case the court sus
tanned screen law which is, to use a
legal expression, ION all fours" with
the Kansas law. The court said:
I'VE do not base this decision so much
upoH the ground that the business Is af-
fected with public use, but upon the
still higher ground, that the public tran
guilty and good and safety Of society
demand, where the number of employees
is such that specific contracts with each
laborer would be improbable, If not i'm
possible, that in general contracts jus.
tice shall prevail as between operator
and miner; and, In the company's deal
ing with the multitude Of laborers with
which the State has by special legislation
enabled the owners and operators to
surround themselves, that all opportuni,
ties for fraud shall be removed. The
State is frequently called upon to sup
press strikes, to discountenance labor
conspiracies, to denounce boycotting as
injurious to trade and commerce; and 1t
cannot be possible that the same police
power may not be invoked to protect
the laborer from being made the victim
Of the compulsory power Of that artif-
clai combination of capital which spe-
cial legislation has originated and rem
dered possible. 1t Is fact worthy of
consideration, and one Of such historical
nOtOriety that the court may recognize
1t judlcially, that every disturbance Of
the peace Of any magnitude in this State

The Loud Bin Beaten,

For several years Congressman Loud,
of California, has been endeayoring to
reform" the postal system. His idea
has been that the small deficit In this
department has been caused by the abuse
Of the rates given to newspapers. Hls
plan was to make newspapers pay 1 cent
per copy for every paper which did not
go to a person who had voluntarily paid
for 1t. 1t imposed other conditions which
would seriously hamper all but the very
large newspapers. The bill was passed
by the House one year ago by a decisive
majority, but 1t was laid on the table.
last Thursday by vote Of 162 to 49,.
Every member Of the Kansas delegations
voted to table It. The bill has been con-
demned by the Kansas newspapers gen.
orally and the Representatives in Con-
gress did well to respect their wishes In
the matter.

The Kansas State Live Stock Associa-
tion met at Emporia last week. Four
teen Of the seventeen counties which are
organized were represented. Many mat
ters OF Importance were discussed, but
the matter Of organization of unreported
counties was given the most attention
It was decided to authorize the officers
to employ an organizer In each district
to form associations in every county in
the State. 1t is well that the stockmen
are organizing, as, with the exception of
farmers, they represent more invested
capital than any other line Of business

Senator John Il. Hessln, Of Manhattan,
has made formal announcement Of his
candidacy for the Republican nomina-
tion for Governor. At the last sesaion
Of the Legislature he was the leader
Of the minority in the Senate. He Is
thorough Republican and Is committed
to all Of It's doctrines. He is specially
strong in his BELIEF that 1t is usurpatiOn
Of power for the Legislature to enact any
sort Of a law which in any way restricts
the powers and privileges of corpora

opposition to school book legislation and
was afterwards attorney for the Amer

believe that no fam: could be found

 George Ross of Redwood City spoke in favor of a recommendation being made to the convention that rules be passed providing for the regulation of the primaries. He also favored seating the Rea delegates. Ross said in conclusion that he believed a resolution should be adopted by the committee calling the at tention of the convention to the crooked political methods employed at the pri- maries The motion was voted down, and Ross will prepare a resolution and pre- sent it himself, requesting that some means be devised for preventing frauds at primaries.
