TOO MUCH LAW.

"A New YORK Judge has recently dee
cided that Il law in that state pre-
venting women working in factories
after nine o'clock at night is uncOn-
stitutional. The court held that wo-
men have Il right to earn their liv-
Ing and have IL right to work at such
hours as they please. Another ground
upon which the law was declared un-
constitutional was that it was class
legislation inasmuch as it applied only
to those women who worked in fac
tories. 1t was contended on the part
of the state that it was proper police
regulation for the reason that the pre-
venting of women working at such
hours would improve the health of fu-
ture generations. The answer to that
argument was that the law applied tc
single women as well as married. This
law is IL fair example of the hundreds
of statutes that are being passed by
the legislatures of different states In
the name of and at the behest Of labor
organizations. Labor in ;ts attempt
to protect itself has gone to the ex-
treme of trying to govern almost ev-
cry action of the individual by some
rule of law. In doing so they have
infringed upon the rights of the in
dividual. Instead of securing liberty
they have attempted to destroy it. To
labor and employ labor. as the court
said. are inherent and inalienable rights
of our citizens and clnnO. be taken
away in whole or in part unless on
the broad ground of public good which
must be apparent and cannot be pre-
dicted upon Legislative dictum. 1t Is
urged that the general welfare of
the state demands that the progeny nf
women of the factories shall have
mothers with healthy bodies to the
end that the state may have sturdy
citizens. Does the state look merely
to the children Of the factory women
for its future citizens? Why should
the housewives. the women who toll at
home, In mercantile houses, in offices
or she who tolls not at ALL the society
woman, be exempted from legislative
interference? Some of them may be
mothers of future citizens and it should
he of as great interest to the state
that their progeny should have proper
birth and breeding to conserve it's Wet
fare. If this question OF future citi-
zenship is the only excuse for the as
sumption of police power what be-
comes of the rights of the On-chilO-
bearing woman. a considerable class"
Every state has similar statutes to the
one just passed upon, all enacted in
the belief that they are proper ex-
ercise nf the police power of the state
AS matter of fact they are rushed
through the legislatures at the request
OF some class and most always for
some selfish purpose. Courts which
protect citizens against such infringe
ment Of private rights are designated
as unfair to labor and as supporters
of the capital class. AS matter OF
fact they are the protectors of the
peoples liberty against unjustifiable
class legislation.

MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP IN MIN.
NEAPOljS,

one of the gentlemen to announce
his candidacy for the Democratic noni-
nation for Mayor in this city selects
as his platform municipal ownership
of public utilities and he asks the in
dependent voters Of Minneapolis who
believe that the Taxpayer should
share the profits of municipal fran
chises and who believe that public
service corporations should be subjec,
to municipal regulation for their sup
port. Municipal ownership Of public
service plants and municipal regulation
of public service corporations anG
franchises are two separate and dis
tinct things. We think it would be hard
to find any one. unless stockholder
In some of the public service corpora-
ti"ns, VIII" will object to proper NUM-
cipal regulation OF public service cor
striving for Il long time TO bring about
proper regulation, but SO far in most
instances without success. 1t is a far
step from proper municipal regula-
ton to municipal ownership and OPP

the matter any thought it must appear

ulati"n t" attempt municipal owner-
ship. Ii the people of Minneapolis are
unable to secure honest. efficient and
responsible city councils from whom
they can secure the desired regulation
of public service corporations would
it not be unwise in such n condition "f
affairs to entrust the larger and more
important work of municipal owner
ship and operation to such councils:
AS practical application OF muni-
cipal ownership Mr.. Williams advocates
that immediate steps should be taken
to secure the plant OF the Minneapolis
Gas Light Company when it's franchise
expires in 1910. saying that if the plant
Is then acquired there will then be no
franchises to pay for One of the
greatest arguments in favor of muni-
cipal ownership everywhere has been
the unworthy part that many public
service corporations play in municipa>
politics. This one thing has done more
to make converts to the municipal
ownership plan than all other things
combined. People have become dis
couraged at year after year electing al
dermen who. as soon as they are elect
cd. turn out to be representatives of
this Or that corporation instead of rep
resentives Of the people. This very sit
uation is an argument against giving
further powers and duties to city coun-
ellis. If aldermen can not be trusted
to deal with public service corpora
tions and look after the interests of the
people. why should we conclude that
they could be trusted with the full
management of large property inter-
ests and the direction and control OF
hundreds Of employees?
We think the candidate here
mentioned has chosen for his practical

score that it has interfered with city
councils and public officials in the per-

GOES TO WEST DULUTH.
New Home for the Popular Pastor of
st. Francis Church, Brainerd,

Rev. W. d. Lynch, pastor of St.
FRANCIS church, is to leave Brainerd
1t hardly seems possible, says a recent
issue of The Dispatch of that city, He
has been here SO many years and has
become so identified with the town that
1t comes as Il surprise and a shock
to learn that he is going elsewhere.
Bishop McGolric+. of the Duluth dio-
cese. has assigned Father Lynch to st.
James church. in West Duluth. This
charge is promotion, in that that
church has about 500 families against
about 220 in Brainerd. In speaking of
the matter Father Lynch stated that
while of course he felt gratified at
the promotion he was very sorry to
leave Brainerd. He said that when
one had lived in town for almost
fifteen years it seemed as if he had
been born there
Father Lynch came to Brainerd in
April, 1892. When he came here the
church had recently lost it's property
by fire and was in hard straits finan-
cially. Under the pastorate Of Father
Lynch the present fine church has been
erected and the parsonage acquired.
The church now numbers about o2O
families and has increased about one
third since he became pastor. The
church is now entiresy free from debt.
Father Lynch is nard worker for
the church and is a good financier. Be.
fore coming to Brainerd he was pastor
at Hinckley and Pine City, having both
churches under his charge. He built
church edifices in both towns and
parsonage at Hinckley and left both
churches free of debt.
AS a speaker Father Lynch is effec-
tive, largely through the simplicity and
directness Of his language. though he
is very eloquent when ne so desires.
AS citizen and a man he stands high
in the community and is universally
respected. In his intercourse with his
fellow men he is broad and charitable.
and although an earnest Catholic he
never seeks to build up his own church
by tearing down another. Every man
is his friend and greeted as such. re-

Independent Orange Order Hold a
Novel Celebration.

The Independent Orange Order held
the twelfth of July. at which Deputy
Grand Master Lindsay Crawford made
some remarks in striking contrast
with those made at the demonstration
of the old Loyal Orange Institution on
the same day. He said that the new
movement was Il revolt against the ty-
ranny of Ignorance. bigotry and un-
reasonable prejudice. They were
opening the eyes of Ulster Protestants.
who had so long sat in Tory darkness
and they had set Ulster thinking.
They appealed from an Ulster intoler-
ant and ignorant to an Ulster tolerant
and enlightened. and they were not
atng force in the political life of their
country. They stood for liberation.
which was the first step towards the
light of liberty. and towards that re-
cancellation between north and south
for which every Irishmar prayed.
Whenever the flag Of independent Or
angeism had been unfuried they found
a marked improvement in the rela-
tions between Protestants and Catho-
lies. and an absence of that sectarian
hate which in former years had led to
disturbance and often to blOOdshed.
The example they set of tOleration and
good towards their Catholic coun-
trymen had borne fruit in the ranks of
the old order. For generations Orange
leaders had pondered to the lowest in
stincts OF the mob and had encour-
aged sectarian and party divisions
among the people for their own selfish
ends. Independent Orangemen had
chosen the better part. and while their
Catholic countrymen might disagree
with the doctrines of the Protestant
religion. they We're determined. God
helping them. that their creed would
not be Unidentified with ignorant bra
vado and pot-house oratory, but that
its principles would be respected even
by its opponents. Independent Or
angeism stood for practical Christian
ity and the propagation of its princi-
pies. as outlined in the Magheramorue
manifesto. had softened the asperities
of political controversy and drawn
closer together in the bonds of nation
al affinity Ireland's long divided sons.
They held out the right hand Of fell
lowship to their Catholic countrymen,
and hoped the day would soon dawn
in Ireland when the only rivalry be-
tween them would be in loyalty to
their country and whole hearted ser.
vice in her cause. But their institu-
tion had justified it's existence on
other grounds. 1t had taught the Pro-
testants of Ulster that Ireland was
their native land. and that they could
not be true to themselves or loyal to
the empire If they were not first loyal
to their country. Patriotism banished
sectarian hate and broke down the
barriers which had so long divided
Irishmen. Instinct with life. it taught
the Ulster Protestant that he had
duty to his neighbor and that before
he laid his gifts on the altar he must
first be reconciled to his brother. 1t
did more-it brought him face to face
with the needs Of the country and
awakened in him sense of his re-

The American Eagle is the
name of a new political and local
weekly published at Estero by the
Koreshan Unity of that place. The
immediate cause of the new weekly
grew out of the recent primary,
when the Koreshan vote OF fifty
was thrown out as not being in ac-
cordance with the democratic pri-
mary law, the executive committee
of Lee County ruling that the
colony is mainly composed OF re-
publicans who would not take the
necessary oath of allegiance to the
democratic party. The Koreshans
claim, and truly, that the ruling is
unjust and unusual and one that is
only enforced when to do so will
best serve personal interests of
party candidates. That they were
allowed to vote at previous elect
ions and their votes were counted.
The new weekly is edited with
ability, has a cartoonist whose
work is highly applauded, and al
together the new paper fills a long
felt want. A political paper that
is not wearing the party gag. Sue
cess to the American Eagle!
