Supreme Court Decides That
the Kansas Statutcis En-
s tirely Constitutional.
OPINION BY JUSTICE HARLAN. Al l' |.
He Says That ssif Law IS Mis-
chievous Fault Lies With Leg
. islature, Not With Courts,

{By Associated Press.)

u ~. Z B Is
WASHINGTON. Nov. ao.---Tho United
states Supreme Court to-day affirmed the
constitutionality Of the eight-hour law.
OF the State OF Kansas, regulating labor
on public works. Justice. Harlan said
in handing down tho opinion OF the court,
that IL the statute Is mischievous. the
responsibility rests with the legislature,
and not the courts. Chief Justice Fuller
and Justices Brewer and Peckham dis
sented. rs ig$
The Kansas law, whose validity was
called into question In the suit, provided
that eight hours should constitute
days work for workrnen employed by or
on behalf OF the State, or by any county
or city or other municipality. 1t also
prohibits contractors from recurring la
borers engaged upon work for the State
to perform moro than eight hours labor
In day. n
The opinion was based upon the theory
that all the municipalities of State are
the creatures OF tho State; that work
for them Is OF a public character, and
does not infringe upon the personal lip-
erty Of any one. Justice Harlan added
"Whatever may, have been tho motives
that controlled tho enactment OF & the
statute In question. we can imagine no
possible ground to dlsput.s tho power
OF the State to declare that no onesuni
dertaking work for. 1t or for one Of Its
municipal agencies. shall permit or re-
aulre an employe on such work to labor
In excess OF ,eIght hours each day, and to
nflict punishment upon contractors who
disregard such a regulation. It cannot
be deemed part OF tho liberty OF any
contractor that he be allowed to 90
nublic work In any mode he choose 70
adopt, without regard TO the wishes OF
ths state. on the contrary, It. belongs
to the state, as the guardian and trus-
tee for its people, to prescribe the con-
ditions upon which It will permit public
work to be done. No court has Sauthor-
ity to review its action In that respect.
Regulations on this eubtect suzgest only
considera tlons OF public policy, And With
such considerations the courts have no
couCsrr1.", F!5 &

Another automobilist was running out
from the city. He also was properly on the
right side Of the road. If he had kept
there 1t would have been all right, but
just before he met the horse and carriage,
either in pure reckiessness or for some
other reason. he swung across the track
and dashed before and past the piungtns
horse, leaving him and his driver to what
ever catastrophe might happen. It was
the act of a ruff1an, to whom no THANKS
were due that there was not a fatal acct
dent. VIII any reasonable man claim that
there shall be no means Of Identifying a
man who does not hesitate at double vio-
latfon of law? We believe the Connecticut
law provides that when an automobile and
a carriage meet on country road the
former shall stop until the carriage has
passed Such a law would be eminently
desirable for the suburbs of Washington
In time perhaps horses may become so &C
customed to the machines that there will
be little or no danger. For the present the
