THE BUTTON CASE.
(Richmond Journal.l


The decision of the Supreme Court
of Appeals in the Button case will, we
believe, be hailed with general salts
faction throughout the State.
Without undertaking to consider the
technical questions involved, we are
persuaded that there is a general con-
viction in the public mind that the vast
and, in some respects, anomalous powers
plainly vested by the constitution in this
great and extraordinary tribunal should
not be unnecessarily increased. Die
tatorialpowers were vested in the Com
mission to enable it to deal with extra
ordinary conditions in reference to cor
porations, but we cannot perceive where
its usefulness or efficiency would in any
wise be increased by bestowing upon it
a vast volume of patronage.
The Commission is properly vested
with the appointment and control of
its own immediate staff, but we see
no reason in sound public policy for
extending its patronage over all bu-
reaus that may from time to time be
created and established by the Legis-
lature, and for convenience in matters
OF administrations, placed under its
supervision and control.
The real controversy in this case was
between the Governor and the Legisla-
ture, the immediate representatives OF
the people, on the one hand, and the
Corporation Commission on the other.
1t was a comparatively small matter
whether Mr.. Button or someone else
was made Insurance Commissioner, but
it was of the last Importance to deter,
mine how far the Legislature had beer
superseded by the Corporation Commits

Down in Texas the Democrats

vocates fondly predicted, unless il
is that Texas will probably have
no more primaries for nomina-
tions. The primary failed to result
In q nomination, and state conyen-
ton will have to be called to nomi-
nate candidate for Governor. That's
what should have been done in the
first place. One sensible thing the
Texans did was to require ma
Jority-and not a plurality-noml-
nation. Our Virginia advocates
used to claim that q convention
did not represent the wishes of q
majority Of the sovereigns; but they
have been wonderfully silent of late
when it is so plain now that the pri-
mary plan admits of q nomination
OF a low-minority candidate, a. it is
now in Virginia, aud unless q change
is made after the Texas kind. Con-
tinue the change. and go back to
the convention method, where vir-
ginians can touch eltows and all
leave in jolly good mood to work for
the nominee. We are growing apart
too far. Unless We brush up to-
gether more, the Virgins primary
will kill the party.

BUTTON WINS OUT.
The Supreme Court OF Appeals sus-
tains Act OF the Assembly.

The Supreme Court of Appeals settled
the case of Button against the State
Corporation Commission, in which Col.
Joseph Button prayed for a mandmuas
requiring the commission to swear him
in as Commissioner Of Insurance.
The court sustained the constitution
atty of the act of Legislature creating
the Office Of Insurance Commissioner.
After this action there was nothing
to do but to issue a writ of mandmuas
requiring the State Corporation Com
mission to carry out the law by per-
forming the duties required of them by
the act-that is to swear in Col. Button
as Insurance Commissioner.

SUPPLY AND DEMAND.

An East Grand Forks correspondent
takes exception to a recent editorial
in The Evening Times on the labor
question in the northwest, and thinks
because it was indicated that the cost
of labor is too high. that the laboring
man is not getting square deal
The difference between our CORE
spondent and The Evening Times is
that the former looks only at one side,
while the latter looks at both.
\ square deal for all means in this
particular that there shall be a fair
rate of wages paid, but no more.
1t is admitted that it costs more
to live in this country than in some
others, and that the standard of liv-
ing is somewhat higher than in the
labor centers OF the east. Therefore
the laboring man should receive more
for his work here than in many other
places.
But this should not reach the point
where it makes the employment of
labor practically prohibitive.
Labor like all other commodities in
the market is regulated by the law
Of supply and demand If there is
abundance of labor the market de-
clines until men so begging for jobs.
If the supply is small. the price must
go up.
1t is Just as much injustice to pay
eXhorbitant prices for labor because
of the difficulty of procuring it, as it
is to take advantage of its scarcity to
get it cheap in the densely populated
sections
The position of The Evening Times
is that because of the scarcity of labor
in this state, the price will be unreal
sonably high, and this is the opinion
of every man in this city who employs
TABOR. Some even go farther and say
that it will be difficult, if not impos-
sible, to construct some of the i'm
pfovements now contemplated for next
year because of the impossibility of
procuring help.
Such condition certainly calls for
more labor-not for the purpose of re-
ducing the wages below reasonable
basis, but to prevent the stagnation of
enterprises because of the lack of
labor to build them.

Wanted the Real Thing.

Bran Stoker, who for, many years
was connected with the management
of the late Sir Henry Irving, tells of
an amusing incident which occurred
during the players tour of the mid
die west.
1t appears that Irving, in order to
break d long jump" from Chicago to
another city, was DESTROYS of secur-
ing for one night the theater of town
in Indiana. Accordingly, stoker wired
the individual who was both proprietor
and manager of the playhouse in ques-
ton, requesting that Sir Henry be
given a nights engagement.
In a short while Mr.. Stoker re-
ceived the following: Does Irving
parade?" When shown this, the dis
tinguished Briton was much amused.
He directed Stoker to reply that "Irv-
ing was tragedian, not minstrel"
The further reply came, Don't want
Irving unless he parades.'

LEAVING THE CRIMINAL UNPJTN.
LSHED.

Occasionally courts in passing SEN
tence upon criminals require them to
get out of the country The practice
is not founded upon good law and GER
tainly is not conclusive to the good
of society.
Punishments are inflicted upon Grim
inals because they have wronged So
ciety, the purpose being either to re-
form the criminal or if the crime be
teinous. to deprive him of life or lib
erty in order that he may not repeat
his crime against society.
The reforming process is accom-
plished either by touching the appeal
to the nobler impulses, or by Great
ing in the mind of the culprit whole
some respect for the law because of
the suffering arising from it's violation.
Whenever guilty party escapes the
punishment of the law it makes him
holder criminal 1t causes him to
look with contempt upon the law,
grows holder in his defiance of it, and
at the first opportunity he either re-
peats his crime or commits one more
dastardly.
This is just what is done to the
criminal when, insinuating his guilt,
the court orders him to leave the
town within fixed time.
If he is guilty he should be made
to feel the hand of the law in pun
ishment, and should he made to re-
spect it's power.
He has wronged society; ne should
remedy that wrong by paying the
laws penalty.
II he is turned lose upon another
community, the evil in him has not
been eradicated. and he carries his
crime with him.

TURN ON THE LIGHT.

II some of the educational institu-
lions of the country, among which is
the university of this state, would
adopt the methods of the patent medi-
cine concerns in the way of persistent
advertising, the good of these institu-
lions to the general public would be
greatly enhanced.
This does not mean that colleges
should go into sensational advertis-
Ing. or resort to Misrepresentation in
order to win students
But there is character of educa-
ton which many of the state educa-
donal institutions fail. This is the
education of the people to the I'M
portance of higher intellectual train
Ing, and the direction of the prospec-
tive students to the proper place to
furnish them the kind of educational
structure they desire
There is but one way to get this in
formation before the public and that
is through the medium of the press.
The legitimate newspaper well rec
ognizes its duty to the public in it's
earnest support of those things which
make for the public good. The one
which seeks to fill its Golfers because
of the publicity it gives such things
is unworthy the name.
What is necessary is that the pub
lie should be constantly informed of
the work of an educational institu-
ton
The various schools and choirs, the
men who fill them and their special
fitness for their work. the apportuni-
ties they can offer the student seeking
an education, the proficiency of the
work being done, the ability to meet
the standards of other like institu-
tons, and the success of students who
are educated within ITS walls, all make
reading matter of the very highest
order, and in years become the pages
of the educational history of the state.
Thinking people are much more in
terested in learning what their state
institutions are doing and can do for
the future citizens of the common
wealth than they are about many of
the things which fill the pages of the
average newspaper
But this material must be put in the
form required by the reading public.
1t must be free from technicalities,
and dressed in the popular style of
the day. Under such conditions it will
md ready space in the progressive
press.
The trouble is that what work of
! this character has been done by the
(. colleges has been the work of stu
dents whose time has been too much.
