wk.ch will prevent future interference
by United States courts with strikes

The framing of a bill taking away
equity jurisdiction from the federal
courts is easy enough in theory, but
there remains to be run the gauntlet
of the Supreme court, which, as his
tory shows, is jealous of the constitu-
tional and traditional prerogatives of
the judicial branch and quick to nullify
legislative enactments infringing upon
them. Many bills have already been
introduced on this subject. only to be
abandoned after it had been discovered
that they stood no show of being up-

illogical to take from the court the
ability to punish contempt at dis

ability to punish contempt in it's pres

AS matter of eXpediency, however,
1t might be advisable to permit aues-

strikers not to interfere with the move

and 1t should come to his knowledge

thus enjoned had disobeyed the order
of court it might be wise to allow the
hearing as to the alleged fact of dis
obedience to take place before Judge B

The demand that this question of
fact be heard by jury is. however, in

lonial rather than territorial in form
will, 1t Is now generally perceived, sup
ply the pivotal issue Of the next CAM
paign and constitute one of the most
important questions ever considered by
the American people.
When the Republican leaders in con-
gress substituted for the executive rec
ommendation in favor of free trade
with Puerto Rico a small revenue tar
iff, all the proceeds of which are to go
into the islands treasury. wonder was
widespread and dissatisfaction was
general. The peoples sympathies were
with the povertystricken islanders
whose welcome to American sovereign
ty had been so spontaneous and genu-
inc. They felt that free trade with the
United States was Puerto Rico's just
portion.
The leaders in congress share this
feeling. bu. they look beyond their
sympathies into the great consequences
involved. A 25 per cent. tariff on
Puerto Rican imports. handed back
into the Puerto Rican treasury, is
practically as beneficial to the busi-
ness interests of that island as free
trade. besides furnishing them with
sufficient revenue to run their govern
ment. But it is much more, so far as
the United States is concerned. 1t is
a conspicuous notification Of the Re-
publican party's intention to treat the
new possessions as colonies rather than
possible states: to make tariffs and i'm
migration laws for them different. II
need be, from the tariff and irf,migra-
tion laws Of the United States: to
protect the labor of the mainland from
Latin and Malay competition; in other
words, not to sacrifice the greater to
the lesser good.
Puerto Rico is selected as the start
ing point in this broad definition of ma
tional policy simply because 1t is the
first of the new possessions to come be-
fore congress for action. The question
Of what tariff rates Puerto Rico shall
have is a question of detail, subject to
change at any time. Once the principle
explained above is fully established
and understood, the tariff with Puerto
Rico can, if then deemed wise. be
wholly removed. But it is vital to the
political success of the expansion
movement that the right of congress to
hold the Philippines as territory open
to different legislation from that cover
ing the states of our Union shall be as
serted unmistakably at the first oppor-
tunity, so that the opponents of the
movement may not hold up to Ameri-
can labor the danger of being swamped
by the competition of 100000 Malays
working at wages averaging six cents

The president at first thought this
point might be waived as to Puerto
Rico. on account of the urgent need of
its inhabitants, and raised later. when
the question of legislating for the Phil
ippines came up: but the Republican
leaders in congress. have since con-
vinced him that it will be prudent to
meet the issue at the very outset.

In days long since agone men fought
In very different style.

Would make us moderns smile.
The warrior took his battle-ax,
Likewise his trusty lance.
And met the foeman hand to hand,
With each an equal chance.

was high and 60 all sorts of schemes
were projected to raise something that
would give the necessary warmth during
our cold winters. A farmer there, with
the spirit Of wheat plunger, conceived
the idea of growing sun-flowers and so
one spring turned the prairie sod of a
whole section. planted the seed and
anxiously awaited results. That year
happened to be very dry one and the
flowers came up very sparsely and spind-
ling, and when harvest time came the
poor fellow was obliged to acknowledge
that for fuel purposes sunfower raising
was not success In North Dakota that
