The recent decision Of a United
States circuit court in theslOttery
cases is taken to show that the
Sherman antitrust law did not
exhaust the Federal power in regu-
lating interstate commerce. The
contention Of the lottery people
was that the general government
could not interfere with them, on
the ground that it would be usurp-
ing the police powers of state.
The decision establishes the prin-
ciple that Congress may exclude
from interstate traffic any commod
ity deemed by it as prejudicial t.
the general welfare, and that its
motives are beyond judicial in
quiry.

Charles S. Mitchell writes three col
andria Post News, in which he declares
that no one had any occasion to find
the visitors to that city at the time of
the dedication of the Worlds Fair. Mr..
Mitchell grows quite sarcastic. He
starts his correspondence with this SEN
tence: 'The song of the knocker' is al
ways in the land" Further along the
Alexandria gentleman says:
Really there was little excuse for the
complaints as to Accommodations and
care at the dedication. Those who made
the talk simply are professional knock
ers' or expect too much. Lots of peo-
pie who felt themselves distinguished
citizens at home struck their level there.

wonderful being he is at home no matter
how new or gorgeous his uniform, espec-
ially when the real thing in uniform
was much in evidence. So when the
governor of Colorado got mad because
he was not carried around on rose leaves
and the governor of Indiana jumped
his hotel bill because he thought it was

too high, they merely showed they were

were scarcer than governors and that
hotels did not have to take distinguished
promposity free to attract crowd
They should have done as our whole
souled governor of the people--he went
after what he wanted, asked for it and
cot it and with it got the cordial good
will and hearty admiration of everyone
who met him. Indeed none of the twenty
was more sought after and none won
more friends than Minnesota's governor
and there was none the crowd was more

Union of Employers.

Employers unions are multiplying
The aggressiveness of organized labor
has forced employers to combine for
their self-defense. The latest move is
the organization of contractors and
builders in all the larger cities, and this
union will represent employers who give
work to millions of men. The purpose
of the organization is to restore conf
dence to the building industry. No doubt
a national federation of employers will
be formed, and then will follow on or
ganized war upon labor unions.
In Kansas City 1000 employers have
banded together to fight the labor unions
that use the boycott to gain their ends
and have organized ''The Employers as
ISOLATION"
The association has decided to refuse
to deliver goods to those places where
non-nuion men or non-union made goods
are Disseminated against This oc-
ton has resulted from brewing COM
pany employing union men and refusing
to deliver beer to a hotel bar until the
union was recognized. A member of the
association retaliated by refusing to de-
liver ice to the saloons handling this
particular company's beer, with the re-
suit that the delivery of beer to the Of
Tending hotel was Immediately resumed.
Several boycotts have been laid against
restaurants and various branches of the
trade in Kansas City within the last
year because of refusal of employers
to recognize unions.
VIII hostilities between labor and
capital never cease? Is there no happy
medium by which all issues can be
adjusted? What wise man will solve
the problem?
