 About S:3O Saturday night. Sheriff James Gould started a bonfire out of material furnished by the local gamb- ling halls.
 The destroying of the gambling ap. paratus Is due to the efforts of Lawyer w. B. Sorrells.
 If M. Murray, who lost hundred and twenty-five bucks last Wednes- day night, was on the street Saturday night, he saw the gambling devices vanish as did his roll Of the Hong green"
 Saturday afternoon Mir. Sorrells made a statement that all gambling joints would be closed, and his word was made good when four of the gambling halls were raided and the equipment carried to the court house and laid on the fire. All that now remains Of what gambling material that could be secured is pile of ashes.
 Quite a crowd collected to see the fire, which at one time blazed SO brightly that it could be seen fol blocks away. Some of the apparatus. such as roulette wheels,' was not secured, but the crap' tables furnish cd excitement for some time on the street.
 All the gambling halls will be watched, and any that trty to re- open will experience q repetition of tonight's performance. Sorrcils Makes Statement. Recently a young man went up

RIGHTS OE THE EMPLOYER

Ihe labor unioniSts who assert the right to
refuse to work beside non-unionists will hard
ly be pleased with the decision handed down
the other day by the Court of Appeals decIar
ing invalid the law which forbids an employer
10 make membership in union bar to en-
ployment- Their logic, however ought to con-
vince them that the Court of Appeals gives
the employer no more than they demand for
themselves.
Nobody questions their right to refuse to
work with an independent laborer much as
the wisdom of such refusal may be cues
toned. Many persons believe that employers
strike blow at sound principles of American
liberty when they enter into agreements for
closed shop. 1t is. moreover. generally agreed
that the government as an employer must make
no such agreement, but must maintain an open
door TO all citizens regardless Of their relation
ship TO private organizations, social economic
political or religious. The right Of the private
employer TO refuse to employ non-union men,
however. is beyond question, as is his right
TO refuse TO employ negroes or Italians. or
spiritualists or red haired men. Conversely. his
right to refuse to employ a union man must
be conceded
This is fundamental that the decision of
the Court of Appeals awakens no surprise
The Appellate Division in this department took
the same view, and the present decision is an
affirmation of its action. The surprising thing
is that the Legislature should ever have passed
such an act We suppose 1t was a case of
giving sop" to labor, Anybody who thought
about 1t must have seen that it was unconsti-
rutional, but lawmakers did not like to stand
up for their convictions and perhaps be de-
nounced by labor union resolutions 1t was so
much easier TO let the bill 20 through. Such
bills however do harm. They tend to weaken
the popular sense of fundamental rights and
encourage demands for improper legislation
and decisions by the courts invalidatng them
do not cure the evil.

Mr.. SHONTS IN ATLANTA.

He FaUors Lock Canal.

Atlanta, May 3O.-Theodore P Shonts, chair
man Of the Panama Canal Commission. who was
the guest to-day OF Atlanta friends. took part
IN several entertainments and delivered two ad-
dresses The first address AT the dedication
of a building at Agnes Scott Institute a college
for women in Decatur, a suburb Of Atlanta The
second address was delivered this evening before
the Chamber OF Commerce. when he spoke on the
relations of the South 70 the Panama Canal He
took strong grounds in advocacy OF the lock
canal system Later in the evening Mr.. Shonts
was entertained at a dinner which attended
by Governor Terrell and many others Of promi-
nence. In his Chamber OF Commerce address
Mr.. Shonts said in part:
The practical question for all sections OF the
country Is. How long shall we wait before we can
enter upon the period OF Development which tne
opening OF the canal will bring to the country
am not surprised that European countries are N
different TO the early completion OF this canal
how much this canal may cost our government
am not surprised that they can view calmly an n.
definite pOstpOnement OF the opening OF nls sfsa~
waterway. They are neither paying the oills, n.l
ing for the completion OF the undertaking But
am surprised that those who ars supposed 70 reY-
resent the best interests of the American Peeps
should try to throw obstacles IN the way or rea.

ing ends meet II the S25.46O, ,991 estimated for
the next fiscal year is taken in cnsh from the
Treasury, there viii be little chance OF escaping
deficit In 19O6'07.
II is time. therefore. to shift the burden or
canal construction from the shoulders Of the
taxpayers Of to-day TO the shoulders of the tax
payers Of another generation. In three years
over SI5.0oo0O0 has been paid outright to get
the canal project started, and that is large
enough donation from the present TO the future.
The government is already authorized to float
loan Of S130.O00 0O0 and. If the interest on that
loan and of subsequent loans is met, the Treasury
will have discharged TO the full its immediate
obligations with respect TO an enterprise which
are undertaking for the benefit of posterity.
With our limited revenues ii is neither just nor
prudent TO treat the investment we are making
in Panama as a continuing cash expenditure

WHAT rs VENTILATION

At its last meeting the Rapid Transit Com
mission discussed, but did not finally settle, the
question of financial responsibility for such i'm
provements in the subway would make travel
in it reasonably comfortable in warm weather.
1t was represented that the Interborough COM
pany had indicated it's willingness to pay for
what might be considered necessary ventila-
ton, but objected to providing for heat dis
posal" also, as if these We're essentially diff
ferent things Such an assumption might not
seem to be justifable for the reason that no
definition of ventilation which does not include
all of its legitimate aims is acceptable TO common
sense. If 1t be the duty of the city to prevent
an accumulation of unwholesome gases in the
subway, ii might be argued that it should get
rid of the heat, too. If, on the other hand, the
responsibility for the one set of evils rests on
the lessee, it might be thought that the lessee
ought also to provide against the other.
More than one way can be found for keep
ing the subway cool. Ample openings in the
roof and plenty of rotary fans might prove suf
ficient. There has been talk however, of sup
plementing these expedients by mechanical re-
frigeration. This would not, in the strict sense
of the term, be ventilation. 1t might fairly be
considered a substitute for ventilation. If, how
ever, the Interborough company were under
a legal obligation TO promote health and COM
fort by renewing the air without chilling it,,
the city would, perhaps. have right 10 insist
that the provision for atmospheric movement
should be extensive enough to secure the desired
end. Were such demand to provoke protest,
a compromise might be suggested that would call
for less ventilation but limited amount of
refrigeration in addition the cost of both ex-
pedients, however, being met by the INTERIOR
ough company.
The point TO be determined, however Is not
the true scope of ventilation. The real issue is
whether the proposed improvements, technically
considered, are equipment" or additional con-
struction" By the terms of its original con-
tract with the city, the InterbOrough company
must furnish the former. but the city must pro-
vide the latter. 1t so happens that some of the
means suggested for rendering the air of the
subway endurable may properly be classified as
and some as new construction In
view of that fact. counsel for the Rapid Transit
Commission have advised division of the ex-
pense. The plan appears to be equitable
one and it is gratifying to learn that after a
little hesitation, the Interborough company has
accepted it
