flower of trust and submission to the
perfect will of God, and its beauty is
the smile upon soul which knows
that in the hand of our Lord every
good thing is completely guaranteed.

1t makes great difference, even
to an indestructible gem, whether 1t

Look around and see how the

the child of Cod do not expect to be
treated any better.
Could you explain TO a caterpillar
what it is to be a butterfly? No more

Suggestions.
Our destiny is not to be measured
by our accomplishments. but by our
purposes; not by time, but by etern-
ity.
If you want to glorify your earth
think great thoughts of heaven.
True thoughts of the hereafter con.
tribute to the present; weak and
dreamy thoughts only weaken the
present.
Half Of Napoleon's power was his
consciousness of splendid destiny.
When one loses that consciousness,
he loses his power.

does not make it a lovely statue.

does your heavenly destiny begin
with the duties of to-day.

tone of the State. He has made 1t a
rule that no man who drinks shall be

LIMITATIONS ON HOURS OF LABOR

Fresh interest the legal regulation of hours labor
is aroused by the decision Of the United states supreme
court declaring ten-hour law Of New York unconstitu
tlonaL
The law thus passed upon of specific character
relating single industry namely the baking business
Judging from the meager quotation from the opinion
as reported however the application of the principle
seems to be general
Regarding the fixing of ten hours as a legal days
labor for bakers the declaes that the law is not
act merely fixing the number of hours which shall
constitute legal days work but an absolute prohibition
upon the employer, not permitting under any circum
stances than ten hours work to be done in day
It necessarily interferes with the right of contract be-
tween the employer and employed concerning the
ber of in which the latter may labor in the bakery
Of the employer"
Such restriction the holds is In violation of
the fourteenth amendment of the federal constitution
Now arises the interesting question concerning the
scope of that decision and bearing laws in various
defining the hours of labor Many such laws are
specific relating to particular industries and II would
that the legal principle established by the supreme
court must be applicable to all such cases.
The state laws relating to labor vary greatly. In
most of the states including California eight hours
stitue legal days work in the absence of contract
The hour system prevails in Florida, Maine Michi
gan Minnesota Montana Nebraska, New Hampshire and
Rhode Island Contracts for other than eight or ten
hours are common in all the states.
Are all such contracts invalid under the ruling of the
supreme court?
And is there not question about the validity Of any
Jaw restricting arbitrarily the number of hours an EN-
ploye may work under the ruling of the court?
The of the decision IL question is likely to be
be far reaching in any event Already, reported from
New York it is ntmated that result of the decision
will be "a strike of 900 bakers in the leading cities of
the country"
