PENAL CONTRACT LAWS.

The Rev. Mr.. Levy in his speech on
the Fourth Of July, encouraged those
who take the position that penal con-
| tract labor on these Islands Is con-
trary to the Constitution OF the United
States. There Is nothing gained In en-
couraging people to take erroneous
views OF things. 1t will certainly be a
happy day when the Supreme Court Of
the United States declares that these
penal laws are not constitutional. But
that court has not SO decided. Our
municipal laws clearly provide for
penal contract labor; Congress has
made them laws Of the United States.
There Is strong reason for believing
that the Supreme Court WILL II a case
involving the point, Is submitted to
them, declare them to be invalid. 1t
| was believed, and there were strong
reasons for II, that the penal contract
laws OF the United States, and indi-
yidual States. which put sailors In jail
when they broke their shipping con-
tracts, were unconstitutional. The
briefs Of the lawyers who appeared
for Jack" contained much feryld SEN
| timent about the tights OF an Ameri-
can freeman and the ''damnable slave
ry" which the odious laws forced up
| on them. and the voices Of Jacks coun-
! sci filled the chamber OF the Court
with lamentations. over the outrage OF
putting him behind the bars, while all
the rest Of American freemen could
break their contracts, without going
TO jail Jack was described M one of
those who were raising the white
wings Of commerce over all seas; as
the bone and sinew of the American
marine; az the man who paced the
lonely deck at midnight, and kept the
great ships true to their courses, .
But the Supreme Court, the great
est tribunal on earth" listened To all
this eloquence without shedding a tear,
or waving flag, and coldly decided
that although Jack had a number OF
'palenable rights, and was a freeman,
he was after all only modified free
man; that he could not be trusted 10
carry out his contracts; that he had
a propensity for desertion, and that
the great marine service could not be
busted" In order to permit Jack 10

tract laws IN regard TO American sea

take more space in those sections than
in any other. In one field, which was
at the beginning essentially French, we
have made marked inroads. Our ex-
hibit of American automobiles will be
extremely fine.
Another and very gratifying exhibit
will be that which our painters will
make. Our share of the art section will
unquestionably' be a revelation to
France. There is something fine in
thinking that America, the newest Of
the countries, will come over here and
do something in the very art center OF
the Old World which will be striking

achievements said IL recall the fall of
Santiago before the guns Of Sampson,
when he was interrupted by hundreds Of
voices shouting +" Schley Schley !

lapsed under this outburst, and his at
