they plod slowly from the depot to

bennmbed condition. But their
condition when they leave the pris.

are warmly clothed and if the
weather is very severe they are
generally supplied with an over
coat, especially so if they are con-
stitutionally weak.

Rev OF. Williams, who is oon-
ducting protracted meeting at
Phelps chapel on Sand Plains, sp-
peared this morning before Squire
Carter and swore out warrant for
Charley Taylor and Dick Wright,
two young men of that neighbor-
hood, whom he charged with dis
turbing religious meeting.
Rev. Williams states that the
young men cane into the meeting
while in an intoxicated condition
and caused a great deal of commo-
ton by their conduct. He says
moral suasion is lost on such peo-
pie and he decided to appeal to the
law.

The unquestionable fact is that
trusts are detrimental in every way
to the interests of the great masses
of the people, and showings of
comparative increases in general
results do not prove prosperity"
for the masses, but only for the
propreietors, who are not only re-
ducing labor, but also taxing the
consumer to the limit, while they
are driving competitors out of bust
ness through railroad disc1imiua-
tions and other violations of the
laws of the land. The trust prob
lem is one of the most serious that
confront the American people.

Mrs. Annie Carlyle. wife of Chas

parting of this life eight weeks
ago, died Feb. IA. 1902. She was
40 years old at the time of her

She was married % years and a
few days before her death a let

she spoke of being resigned to the
will of the Lord. She and her
husband have gone into the be-
yond to await the gathering of the
rest of the family.
She leaves an aged mother and
Eve brothers to mourn her absence.
Her request before her death
was that R. s. Fierbaugh, of the
Church of Christ, should preach

solely on the small engineer class
that is graduated from the Naval
Academy. The construction bu-

Philippines that the army officers
are to be allowed to hold civilian
positions. This looks like one of
those rules that does not work both

The Iniunctlon Process.


The necessity aud Importance of
law limiting the nse of the injunc-
tion and contempt-of-court process
ses in labor disputes finds fresh
illustration in the decision of
Judge Smith, of Cincinnati, that
nine Anchor Buggy Company
strikers have been guilty of con-
tempt in violating the courts in
junction against picketing, patrol
ling and lettering about the facto-
~. While he held that the men
were not guilty of actual violence,
they belonged to a union which
had ordered strike and against
which he had issued temporary
restraining order. Pending the
hearing for permanent Injunction
order, however. Judge Smith has
seized the opportunity presented
By. the appearance of the nine
strikers in this court to modify his
temporary order $50 as to enjoin
persuasion and all manner of in
reference" 1t is precisely this
abuse of judicial power that Sena-
tor Hoar and the Senate judiciary
committee proposes to check by
the passage of the anti.injunction
bill which they reported favorably
to the Senate last week. This bill
is intended to aid in adjusting Ia
Dor disputes on railroads and to de-
fine the powers of the Federal
courts. But the principle on which
it is based applies with equal force
Il all State courts.
Under the terms of the Hoar
bill combination to do an act or
not to do it shall not be punished
more severely than the act itself,
and combinations of this character
between employers and employees
engaged in interstate commerce
shall not be considered in restraint
of trade. The bill in no way les-
sens the responsibility of the indi-
vidual striker or any unlawful act
he may commit, but itmakes it i'm
possible for Judge to pass new
criminal laws at his convenience
and to impose whatever penalties
he may see fit under his own bench
made code. There are strong in
huences at work, of a political
character. to secnre the passage of
the Hoar bill, or some other of a
more radical character, and they
will prevail in time. The report
of the industrial commission SUBJ
mitted to Congress this week has
this to say on the limitation of in
junction process:
The question of the enforcement
of labor contract by injunction or
contempt in equity process is a
very difficult one, mainly SO made
by the abuses which have arisen
from injunctions carelessly issued
by the learned judges or by the un-
learned judges of inferior courts in
States which confuse chancery and
common law jurisdiction. The in
junction is high prerogative writ,
ahd should be awarded only after
the most careful examination by a
tribunal thoroughly competent.
