The fact that this power is arbitrary
should make courts careful not to push it
too far The protection of one mans rights
cannot justify even a court in overriding
those Of another. but ii must be added that
a judge learned in the law and trained in
discriminating between rights and remedies
is less apt TO make mistakes In such mat
tiers than laymen. Judge Jackson is one
Of the oldest judges in the federal judici-
airy, perhaps the oldest. He was appointed
in 1861 by President Lincoln, and Will be
seventy-eight years old in a few days.
There is no question as TO his knowledge
of law or his uprightness of character. He
may be more technical and arbitrary than
a younger judge would be. but on the gen.
eral principle that organized labor can
not be permitted to interfere with the per-
sonal or the property rights Of others he is
unquestionably right

American Prestige Abroad.

New York Press.
One phase of the American invasion of
Europe has not received much attention
in print, but it has caused a notable lot of
private wrath, has kept a goodly lot of
dollars out of American pockets, and has
done more harm generally to American
interests abroad than can be undone by
volume after volume of consular reports
and trade tips.
The pest that does all this damage is a
human parasite known to science as the
