of all efforts to improve the character
Of this distribution, however, the Sec
rotary states that the work does not
accomplish the ends for which the law
was originally framed. Over 40 mil
lion packets Of miscellaneous vegeta-
bic and flower seeds are distributed on
congressional orders, and while these
are the best the market affords, the
large quantity required necessitates
that the seed be standard sorts only.
The secretary believes that no practic-
al object Is to be gained in distribut-
ing this kind of seed, and declares 1t
would seem wise to limit the work en-
tiIely to the distribution of seeds,
plants, etc, of new and "a sorts.
The plant breeding work of the de-
partment will afford increased oppor-
tunities of securing valuable seed, and
t. distribute the same effectively the
advice and ASSISTANCE of senator's ami
representatives having agricultural
constituents could be secured. The
work the coming year will be inaug-
urated along these lines, and the sec
rotary hopes to receive the co-opera-
ton and aid of congress in the mat
ter.

KANSAS EIGHT-HOUR LAW.
Supreme Court Affirms Its Constitu'
tionality In Relation to Public
Work.

Washington, Dec. 1. = The United
States supreme court has affirmed the
constitutionality of the Kansas eighc-
hour law regulating labor on public
works. Justice Harlan in handing
down the opinion said that if the
statute is mischievous the responsible
ity rests with the Legislature and not
with the courts. Chief Justice Fuller
and Justices Brewer and Peckham dis
scented.
The suit was brought by w. w. At
kins, who had a contract for paving
streets in Kansas City and required
one of his men to work 10 hours a day.
He was prosecuted in the state courts.
convicted and appealed to the federal
court, claiming violation of the ma
tional constitution in not receiving due
protection of law and being deprived
of his property.
The Kansas law in question affects
not only work carried on by the state
but by counties, or other municipali-
ties and makes eight hours a days
work.
The opinion rendered by the su.
preme court was based on the theory
that all the municipalities of a state
are the creatures of the state; that
work for them is of a public character
and does not infringe IN the personal
liberty of any one.
Justice Harlan said: Whatever may
have been the motives that controlled
the enactment of the statute in ques-
ton, we can imagine no possible
ground to dispute the power of the
state to declare that no one under
taking work for it or for one of it's
municipal agencies shall permit or re-
quire an employee on such work to la
Dor in excess of eight hours each day
and to infict punishment upon con
tractors who. disregard such regula-
ton"
Taking up the question of public pol
icy, Justice Harlan said:
IF it be contended to be the right
of every one to dispose of his labor
upon such terms as he deems best-as
undoubtedly it is-and that to make it
a criminal offense for a contractor for
public work to permit or require his
employee to perform labor upon that
work in excess of eight hours each
day is in derOgation of the liberty Of
employee and employer, it is sufficient
answer that no one is entitled to abso.
lutte right and as a part of his liberty,
tn perform labor for the state: and no
contractor for public work can ex.
cuse a violation of his lawful agree
ment with the state, by doing that
which the statute of the state under
which he proceeds distinctly forbids
him to do"
On the point of the validity of 4
similar statute affecting private en-
ployment, Justice Harlan said;
whether a similar statute, applied
to laborers or employees in purely pri.
vate work, would be constitutional il
a question of a very large import,
which we have no occasion now to de-
termine or even to consider"

Sale of execution Apparatus.

The last legislature of New York
appropriated $4,000 to purchase
the patents owned by E. D. Davis, wh1
conducts the executions by electricity
In the state. Davis has taken out
two patents for execution purposes.
The chair has never been used, but
the helmet and leg electrodes have
been used by Davis at all executions
for several years. He also has other
apparatus. not patented, that he uses.
He carries this apparatus with him in
his little black grip from place to
PLACE and has jealousy guarded his
secret. Davis refused to sell out
right but now has agreed to it.
In the meantime there has grown
up a considerable opposition to capt.
tai punishment and it is understood
that Governor Odell will not allow
the payment of the money to Davis
until it is learned what the legisla-
ture will do in the matter, In any
event Davis will have to instruct sew
eral people in the use of the apparatus
and that will take some time, as he
must wait for practical tests with
criminals.
