The emperor assumes that he Is able

A Righteous Law.

Only sixteen members of the house of
representatives voted against the pure
food law. It is strange that one should
vote against it. It is merely a law in
behalf of honesty in commerce. '..5'
To oppose such law is to stand for dis
honesty In trade.
To oppose such law is to vote to give
free access to interstate commerce to
poisonous candies, containing terra alba
barytes. tale, chrome yellow, or other in
furious substances or coloring matter
which are being sold as pure and non in
furious. - -
To oppose such a law is to admit to
interstate commerce dishonest and adul-
terated drugs.
To oppose such law is to admit to
interstate commerce fraudulent substi-
tutes, deceptive authorizations. and all
putrid, filthy and diseased substances in
tended for food, and offered as suita BILE
for consumption.
1t is all we'll enough to say that every
man ought to have sense enough to pro-
cure only good foods for himself, with
out asking the government to protect him
But what does that mean: Why, it means
that every man. must be. an analytica
chemist and must chemically examine
every article of food he buys. That is OF
course, impossible. We must buy ou1
food on faith, and the basis of that faitl
must be the illegality of adulteratiun, de.

CANADIANS ON BONDED WHEAT.
. Ottawa Citizen.


What has the Canadian government to
do with bonding mills in Minnesota? That
is a matter under the control Of the
United States treasury department, and
canada could only interfere with it by
forbidding the export of the wheat to the
United States, which would hardly be toll
Grated by the northwest farmer, or
sanctioned by anybody in the possession
Of his senses.-Hanilton Times
Considering that only SO. 900 bushels of
wheat were exported to the United States
last year from Canada it is not likely the
northwest or any other Canadian farmer
would get very hot in the collar over it,
The exports of wheat have averaged about
the same for years, ana Of flour the
amount is equally insignificant. However
we were in error in charging the bonding
OF Minneapolis mill to our government,
though we would gladly see every adj
vantage taken to secure the grinding and
transportation Of Canadian wheat kept on
our own side of the line.

Taf.Vale Decision. <.

The decision last Friday in the famous
English labor union litigation. known as
the Taft Vale case, should be Of as much
interest in the United States as in Eng
land. - It goes right to the root Of the
question of the responsibility of unincor-
porated bodies, such as labor unions.
A year ago the house Of lords
in the same case passed on the
disputed point as to Wnetner
labor union, not being a corporation, could
be made party to a suit. The lords
held that 1t could be made such a party,
and was in effect partnership. The &C.
ton decided Friday was brought in conse-
quence of that technical decision to col.
lect damages from the. miners union for
injury done to the railway company,
PLAINTIFF in the case, because Of ma
icious molestation, picketing and intimi-
dation," during the strike Of 1900. The
jury decided that the company was en-
titled to compensation for damages.
Uniting the two decisions in one rule,
the English law now stands as follows:
A labor union can be made a party to an
action, notwithstanding the fact that it Is
not incorporated, and such common prac-
tees as picketing maybe made the cause
Of action for damages by the corporation
suffering therefrom.
Without going into the question Of
whether the latter part of the law VIII
be so disastrous to English labor unions
as has been maintained, it is interesting
to observe that il the same rule shall be
adopted in the United States, labor unions
will become responsible parties to con-
tracts without Incorporation. That being
the case, one Of the greatest objections to
joint bargaining is done away with. If
an employer holds that a joint agreement
has been violated, he could, under this
rule, sue the officers of the union and
being successful in the litigation. could,
through them, benefit in the prescribed
legal manner, from such property or funds
as the union may have.
Such being the case, there is likely to be
little more effort made to secure the in
corporation of labor unions, since in an
action to enforce a contract a labor union
BIS plaintiff has an advantage over a cor
pora tion A union, as partnership; can
demand the enforcement Of a contract
affecting it's individual members AS a.
corporation it would be regarded as a
body distinct and separate from it's mem
bers. and could not show that 1t had been
injured by violation of an agreement as
to wages to be paid to its members.
