constitutional and legal right to dispense
with his services after such time. When
striker seeks to stretch his right to
stop work into license to prevent the en-
ployer from hiring any other person to
do the work necessary to the conduct
of business, however. he at once comes
into conflict with the spirit and the letter
of the constitution which guarantees
every man his rights. just as the employ
err would be culpabc were he to enter
into n conspiracy to prevent working
man who declined TO accept the wages
paid from gaining employment elsewhere.
That the principle affirmed in the Patch
case is likely to stand is probable from
the fact that it is in line with recent
verdict under the English common law
in which labor organization was held
70 be financially responsible for the loss
inflicted on an employer through conspi-
racy to boycott and to intimdate other
laborcrs so as to prevent them from en-
tering his employ.
Owing to the complications growing out
of modern organization of both capital
ana labor and the variety of issues enter
ing into the situation. we often lose sight
completely of the rights and privileges
which our constitution declares to be
inalicnablc, but it is helpful at times to
go back to first principles and note the
extent to which we have drifted.

THROWN FROM

While on the way to fire the sudden

still unconscious when brought TO the

there would be terrible cramps in my

tional political situation Senator Allison

tional political situation Senator Allison
said that the democrats would attack thc
Republican party on the tariff first and
then on tho trust issue and the money
question. This veteran leader says, how
ever. that the Republican party will not
change front on the tariff question any
more than it will change front on the
Philippine question, and 1t will continue
TO enact legislation to solve the trust prob.
lem. There is evidently no disposition in
the state of Iowa to trim the sails of the
republican craft to catch any changing
breeze that may be passing, and the peo-
pie will know what to expect from the
Republican party If it receives another
mandate.
Senator Allison plainly recognizes the
difficulties that the republicans will be
forced to encounter in connection with
the tariff question. but they are no greater
than those which will confront tho dem
diversity of opinion prevailing with refer
ence to this question Senator Allison says
that while the Shoe manufacturers of
New England want free hides the cat
tic raisers CT the West believe that it
would he disastrous for their industry to
remove this duty. lie secs a similar diff

rious sections of the country III relation

Senator Allison believes, however, that
the next republican national convention
will adopt broad gauge platform. BY this
he means that the republicans will declare
in favor of revising; the tariff to meet
changed conditions. If a high rate Of
duty is necessary for the protection of a
certain industry, high rate will be i'm
posed; but if within few years the in
rate is not necessary to its existence,
then the duty should be reduced so as
to meet the changed conditions.
lie favors a ma Ximum and minimum
tariff so that the President would be

try when a foreign nation having a maxi

The n. Y. State Historical Association,
and the Place and Date of Ethan
Aliens Birth.

The New York state Historical associa-
ton was organized several years ago by
gentlemen especially interested in the
history of the region about Lake George.
and it has already justified its purpose.
by securing the purchase by the State of
New York. of tract Of land about the
head of that lake. made historic by the
battles there fought between the English
and French. Tho important victory gain
cd in one OF these by Sir William Johnson
over General Dioskau, in September, 1755.
is soon to he commemoratcd by tho New
York Society of Colonial Wars. by the
erection and dedication of a monument
bearing a fine group in bronze upon the
state Park at the head of Lake George.
The latest published report ot tho pro-
ccodinCs of tho association contains
among other interesting papers, one OF
Ethan Alien. by the Rev. Ernest Melville.
of Fort Edv ar1, y. Y. 1t is rather pity
that MIR. Melville. in the preparation Of
this, did not avail himself Of some of tho
more recent sources of information. We
quote from his opening paragraph: I'VE
nor when. The inscription on
the plain marble tablet which marks the
spot where his body rests indicates that
he was born in 1739'
There is no plain marble tablet which
marks Ethan Aliens grave, and has not
been for thirty-five years or more. The
tablet to which Mr.. Melville refers was
meal by rolichuntcrs, and disappeared
entirely nearly forty years ago the small
remaining fragment hardly "A hand
breadth square. being buried beneath tho
base Of the tall granite shaft which now
marks the grave. The old slab recorded
that of his birth, simply saying that he
died tho twelfth of February. 1850, aged
fifty years. The inscription on the pres =
ent monument written by as accurate a
scholar as George +. Marsh. says that he
vas "horn in Litchtcld, Ct, 10Th Jan.
l737," and this date has long been ac-
cepted by historians and bographers.

vcstgator, accepted this date and SO of

Mr.. MolVllc's paper may have been
somewhat hastily prepared Tie speaks.
for instance, of Fort Ticondcrosa AS the
fort which had cost the British eight mil
| lions sterling" Put Ticonderoga was not
| built by the British, but by the French,
previous to lbs. Mr. Melville seems to
have conlounded Fort Ticonderoga with
the fortress at Crown Point, built later
by General Amherst. at u cost of many
millions sterling.
Mr.. Melville says of Ethan Aliens tho
ology: He succeeded in showing the
| reasonablcness of religion" and he de-
clares that II he had stood beside Allen S
grave when he was buried he would have
said with revorential love:
| Soldier of Christ well done; rest from
| thy loved employ.

The Verdict in the Patch Boycott Case

In awarding the F. r. Patch Manufac-
turing company verdict to recover dam
age from the machinists' union OF Rut-
land to the amount OF s., 500 on account of
loss suffered by the plaintiff through boy
colt and other measures directed against
that company by the defendant organ
ization, the jury simply reafiirmed prin-
ciple we'll established both in our written
constitutions and in the common law.
Every American citizen is guaranteed by
our constitution life, liberty and the en-
ioyment Of property that is so long as our
exercise of such right is not interpreted as
license to interfere with the enjoyment and
exercise of similar rights By our fellow
men.
This provision of our constitutional law
includes the right to gain a livelihood by
laborng, either for ourselves or for others
for a compensation; and it necessarily in
wolves the right to conduct a Legitimate
business. Any statute whether State or
national denying to any man the right
to labor or to conduct legitimate bust
ness. would be clearly contrary to the
spirit of our constitution, and one of the
objects Of government is to protect all cit
liens in the enjoyment of these rights.
The jury in the Patch case found that
members of the machinlsts union had in
nlcted financial loss on the plaintiff by
interfering with the company's right 10
conduct a business and to that end em-
ploy labor, and while the amount of money
involved is material to the plaintiff, the
principle embodied in the decision is more
important to the public, II not TO the
plaintiff itself
If the Patch company, for example, had
sought to proceed on the principle that II
had the right to compel the members OF
the machiniSts union to work for 1t to the
exclusion of every other company, or that
it had the right to absolutely compel any
man to remain in its employment at q
certain price, there is probably not an in
tclligent man who would not at once con
inalienable right of every man to Labor
where he can sell his services to the hes
advantage. II an employer can not force
d man to work for him, neither can any
him; and this Is true whether the employ
er be a man or a corporation and whether
the employment be OF an individual or 4
combination OF men.
1t follows, conversely. that any mar
has a constitutional and legal right to

Paramount Issue of the Next Cam
paign.

If the leaders of the Democratic party
have been proceeding on the assumption
that tho republicans would not welcome
any influence that would lead to the
paramountcy of the tariff question in the
next national election and have been
shaping their campaign plans accordingly
1t will be necessary for them TO revamp
their ideas and start new foundation
for their presidential canvass. While the
republicans would naturally hesitate to
do anything that would tend to interrupt
the current Of prosperity which the whole
country is enjoying at the present time.
II is no secret that they would expect to
profit to a pronounced degree from the
decision of the democrats to make the
tariff question the chief issue in the prosi-
Dental campaign. 1t is with no small. de
gree of interest. therefore, that the re-
publcans have noted the interviews of
different democratic leaders who have eX-
pressed the opinion that their party would
ignore the money question next year and
base their canvass on the trust issue and
the tariff
lf anything were needed to disabuSe the
minds Of the democratic leaders Of the
erroneous idea in question the equanimity
of temper with which republican leaders
are contemplating the practical certainty
of the tariff issue becoming paramount,
must set them to thinking. Senator Ali
son of Iowa has Just submitted to an in
terview in Washington, and his senti-
| rnents serve admirably to emphasize this
point The first thing he said was that
| I'm the next national campaign the tarfi
will be the principal issue" This evident
disposition to put the tariff question first
does not look much as II the republicans
would seek to keep that issue in the
| background, and the veteran senator from
tho Hawkeye state will he found to be
voicing tho sentiments shared by the
great majority Of the republican leaders
OF national prominence.
