The United States supreme
court last week declared the
New York ten-hour-a-day law
unconstitutional. The effect
of the decision is to make
void all laws in all states
which limited the time for a
days labor. The decision had
a bare majority of the judges
concurring and four
dissenting. Justice Harlan,
in his dissenting opinion,
characterized it as one of the
most important and far reach
ing decisions in the history of
the country. It's effect will
be to widen the chasm be-
tween labor and capital, en-.
courage strikes and lockouts
and breed disrespeGt for
law. After all, the laboring
people are getting the things
for which they vote.

The labor decision, like the
income tax and other import
ant decisions, was made by a
vote of 5 to 4. Thus it has
been again demonstrated that
the destinies of the American
people are suspended on the
slender thread of the erring
and vacillating judgment of
one ordinary man. The man
who holds the balance of
power on the United States
supreme court bench rules all
the people and he holds his
place during life. Could a
Gar do more!

There are no better or brighter WON
en- in the world than the farmers wives
and daughters of Barber county. Their
fame as housekeepers and as opponents
of good cookery is more than state
wide. and they are especially quick to
welcome new ideas from any source.
A large element in the progress of
many Of our farm homes Is the Home
Department of The Farmer and Stock
man, OF Kansas City, Mo-, which
aoounds i'll recipes, household hints,
points in dressmaking, suggestions
about identifying the farm home and
grounds and editorial chats with sub
seribers on timely topics. These ad-
mirable features and the weekly Sun
day school lesson, in which many farm
ers' wives are deeply interested, make
The Farmer and Stockman truly ideal
paper for the farmers wife and daugh-
ter. In increasing the circulation of
farm journals of this character In our
county the Index feels that it is rem
dering real service to the farming
public. If you would like to subscribe
for The Farmer and Stockman or see
sample copy of it, we shall be pleased
to attend to the matter for you.

AGAIN THE BEEF TRUST.

Today the federal grand jury at Chi
cage which is 10 investigate the alleged
beef trust will be empanelIed and to-
morrow the inquiry will begin. The
scope OF it has of course not been made
public, but the common understanding
is that it is to be confined 10 ascertain
ing whether or not the combination of
packers has violated the injunction de.
creed by the federal circuit court and
sustained by the supreme court. 1t Is
presumed that the department of jus
tice has evidence fully justifying the
present proceedings, but il is not alto
gether certain that the government
will be able to secure all the necessary
witnesses. 1t has been reported that
important employees of the packing
companies have gone into hiding or
been sent abroad, though this seems
Improbable, since such~a course would
be practically confession in advance.
The result of the investigation will
be awaited By the public with a great
deal of interest. There is very general
dissatisfaction with the report of Com
missioner Garfield of the bereau of cor.
porations regarding the profits of the
packing business and there is no doubt
that the hope is widespread that the
packers will be found amenable to pun
ishment for disregarding the iDjGnc-
ton against their combination Oma-

Speaking of saving a few
dollars on city printing" the
esteemed organ does not
seem to remember that one,
two, three and four years
ago the mayor and council
did not inquire into the saw
ing proposition when it desig-
mated it the official paper.
When f. II. Nixon was elect.
ed mayor on a harmony
deal in 1901 the Index was
invited by one of the coun-
cilmen to submit a bid but
the mayor did not even
break the seal. The practice
was followed until this year
when the Index was recogniz,
ed. We do not see wherein
the present administration
has been guilty of any great
crime in this respect.

Judge Edward Dunno, the
new democratic mayor of
Chicago, was elected by a
plurality of $4,000. Last fall
President Roosevelt, republi-
can, got a plurality of no..
600 in the same city. There
is a lesson in this wonderful
change in public sentiment.
Chicago is not a republican
city, but when the democratic
party tried to force Judge
Parker with the Hill.Bel-
mont-MoCarren strings at
tached, onto the people, the
democratic voters of Chicago,
like a great many elsewhere,
refused to be driven, but vot-
ed for what seemed to them
something nearer their
principles or else employed
the other alternative of not
voting at all. In Judge
Dunno they have a man of
stalwart honesty and wisdom.
He made his campaign on an
outspoken platform for mu.
nicipal ownership and clean
politics and the people be-
lieved in him. Say what you
will, the only hope for dem
ocratic success is for it to
take up progressive ideas like
those advanced by the ives
tern wing. The republican
party has a life lease on the
trust influence and they mean
to hold it. The democratic
party will either have to get
back to the people or perish
from the earth.
