say whom he will employ, and the
employee has the right to say by
whom he will be employed and
with whom he will work. The
right is reciprocal, and once that
right is destroyed personal liberty
is DESTROYED and chaos reigns.
"And if one has the right, act
ing in his individual capacity, he
does not lose it when acting with
others clothed with an equal
right, so that EMPLOYERS may com
bine and say they will not employ
persons who are members of labor
organizations, and laborers may
combine and say they will not
work for employers who engage
any but members of labor organ
izations."
To a layman this opinion seems
to be based on broad foundations
of natural equity, as well as upon
the legal recedents quoted by the
iudgeANews Tribune.
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1900-08-03

laws of 1897 which says that
municipal authorities have power
to sentence prisoners to hard
labor during their confinement in
the county Jail. Whether the as
sistant county attorney or the
county commissioners should re-
ceive credit for this discovery is
at present unknown to us, but we
will say that a closer application
to the laws of the land by both the
commissioners and the attorney
would prove of vast benefit. This
measure has been lying dormant
on the statute books as far as St.
Louis county is concerned since
1897 while other counties have
reaped the benefit. St. Louis
county at the beginning of August
had over a hundred petty offenders
in the county jail besides several
bound over to the grand jury.
This hundred were all fellows
available for hard labor providing
they had been sentenced to such.
In our opinion, these county
feeders" would not be so numer-
Gus if labor was imposed on them.
AS it is now they wax fat at the
county's expense.

ONE paragraph, from the Kan
sas City platform which is calcu-
lated to provoke smile on the
face of every intelligent Ameri-
can citizen, reads as follows:
The failure of the present Republi-
can administration to enforce
the antitrust laws already on the
statute books proves the insincerity
of the highsounding phrases of the
Republican platform.
If the Democratic convention
had declared that 1.-The failure of
every Democratic administration
to enforce the antitrust laws"
ETC., the statement would have
been quite within the bounds of
reason and much nearer the truth
than any declaration contained in
the platform. The only national
antitrust law ever enacted which
showed evidence of any honest in
tention to suppress or regulate the
trusts was the law of 1890, which
had it's conception and enactment
at Republican hands. That the
law was found imperative was
due, not to any lack of desire on
the part of the Republicans to
regulate the trusts, but to the
fact that the supreme court held
it to be in contravention of the
interstate commerce law. Every
effort was made to enforce the
law, and in the case of the iron
pipe trust, wherein it was clear
that the trust was organized and
operated in such a way that it
might be reached by the Sherman
law, a conviction was had and the
trust was knocked out. Under
this same law the Joint Traffic
Association. controlling freight
rates on some eight or ten trunk
lines entering into Chicago, was
declared illegal, and the trust was
dissolved. All these facts are
merely Indicative of the honest
intention of the Republicans to
suppress trusts. The insincerity
and dishonesty of the Democrats,
however, was made apparent in
the session of congress just closed,

JUSTICE M'LAUGHLIN, of the SUI
preme court of New York, has
handed down an opinion that will
attract general attention, and will
be of special interest to labor or
CARNATIONS and to employers of
labor. This decision was render
ed on an appeal from an order of
Justice Traux by which the En-
terprise association was perpet-
ually enioined from interfering
with the National Protective asso-
citation, or any of it's members, or
from coercing employers by
commands, threats, strikes, or
otherwise" The vital part of
Justice McLaughlin's opinion is as
follows:
cit cannot be seriously question
ed that ever workman has the
right, in the irst instance, to say
for whom Eo will work. This
right is guaranteed to every per-
son of legal age and competent to
contract under our laws. An
employer has the absolute right to

when it was proposed by the Re-
publicans to submit constitution
al amendment that would make
the Sherman law operative in all
states, and under all circumstances.
This proposed action was in direct
line with the previous antitrust
demonstrations now being made
by the Democrats, but they did
not want such a law passed by the
Republicans before the election OF
1900, and they rose as one man to
obstruct and defeat the passage OF
the act which would submit the
amendment. Nearly all OF the
states, including Minnesota, have
antitrust laws of their own which
have proved ineffective for the
purpose of suppression. The gov
ernors of such states, including
the present governor of Mime
sofa, have found twas impossible,
to suppress the trusts through
local laws, and Governor Lind has
made absolutely no effect during
his entire administration to enforce
the provisions of the antitrust law
of 1897. Instead of making an
effort to suppress the trusts the
governor has used, as his sole
political capital, the Sommerville
foreign corporation law, which
was introduced by Republican
senator and passed by a Republi-
can legislature, in spite of the
furious opposition of the COVER.

In its concise way the New
York Sun sums up the situation as
follows:
Which do you prefer. to make
money or to lose money-to keep
your job or to lose it?
Which do you prefer, prosper
Gus activity or stagnation and de-
preston?
Which do you prefer, steady
and healthy markets, business
confidence and enterprise moving
ahead without fear, or panic and
confusion, doubt and distress!
Which do you prefer, to stand
fair before the world, OF to be
despised and distrusted by the
world!
These questions bring out the
chief issue of this new campaign
between Mckinley and Bryan
which will be recognized by
American common sense.
These questions answer them
selves. The issues involved in
the presidential campaign this
year are fundamental to national
and individual prosperity. Every
voter will vote on his own bust
ness and employment, and on that
business as affected by the ordin-
airy rules of honor and morality.
American common sense can be
relied upon to answer the Suns
question with emphasis at the
polls.

CAPT. VAN SAINT.

Ii will be noticed that Capt.
Van SAINT, who served as Union
soldier throughout the war, is not
a colonel or a general says the
Minneapolis Journal. Not evan a
major. He is plain captain. And
he derives his title of captain not
from his military rank, but from
his being the manager and part
owner of line of steamboats, en-
gagged in towing RATS. For he
was boy of seventeen when he
entered the army, and was still
a boy of twenty and q private
when he came out of it; too young
for promotion, but who had well
earned it by brave and hard ser
vice as one of the rough riders OF
Grierson's famous Illinois cavalry.
But he is captain of industry.
He has built up the prosperous
business of which he is at the head
by his industry and energy and
prudence and business ability.
His only profession is that of q
workingman. As soon as he was
mustered out of the army he went
to college, and from college he
went into his fathers boatyard
and learned the trade of caulker
and boat builder. From building
raft boats he and his father turned
to running them, and SO he won
the title, by courtesy, OF captain,
which is often supposed to indl-
cate the rank he held in the army.
But he was only q private, work
ingman in the army, as he was q
private in the ranks Of industry
until he worked his way up to a
leading position as the commander
of fotilla of tow boats. He was
private and workingman in
the ranks of the Republican party
for many years until by reason OF
the general favor in which he wa
held at his home in Winona they
made him an alderman, and then
sent him to the legislature. There
he soon became prominent by his
ability and good sense, so thai
when he was sent back. for q
second term his popularity made
an open path for him to the speak
er's chair. The circumference OF
: the popular favor isevidenced with
his elevation to this position, and
still further evidenced with two
successive candidates. for the Re-
publican nomination until he re-
ceived it a few weeks ago by the
unanimous reclamation of bis
; party. He will prove strong
, candidate because he is a worthy
representative of the plain people
of the state, of their common
sense, their sturdy honesty, their
patriotism, their good citizenship,
and because he is first-rate husi-
ness man, who will put his whole
, soul into the public business and
give the people an honest and
careful business administration OF
!, state affairs.
