lEGi9lATIvE WASTE
BASKET.

There Is no one who has had the
experience Of watching two or more
legislative sessions but is impressed
with the woeful waste of time over
bills OF minor Importance many of
which have come up again and again
only to meet disapprobation and
subsequent defeat.
At each session Of the legislature

make their appearance, they bob up
serenely from the bottom of the for
NOR Legislative waste baskets hav-
Ing been doctored In the interim in
the hopes of covering former defects
which contributed to their defeat,
and they are again introduced with
the idea that there is glory in their
passage IL the member is only persis-
tent.
A review Of the work of each session
Of the legislature discloses the fact
that many unimportant and useless
bills have occupied the time and at
tsntion Of the members and have been
passed along with bills Of undoubted
merit and utility and mainly for the
reason that they numbered and clog
ged legislation and they had to be
carried through in order to get more
vital measures on the statute books
But they cumber the statute books

sometimes they are introduced to ia :

times they finally win success. because
public opinion has been aroused In
their favor The ideal legislature would
be one that wasted no sme on triyi-

ant subjects and adjourned when they
were disposed Of"

The death Of Russell A. Alger--a
veteran of the Civil War past COM
mander of the Grand Army Of the
Republic. governor of Michigan and
United States senator-recalls to my
mind some Of his many noble traits Of
character.
I once heard a lady say she didn't
care much for men who had good
hearts" for they were APT to be dis
agreeable on the surface" she'd
rather prefer men whose hearts were
not quite so good, so they shone good
ness on the surface"
think Senator Alger had a good
heart" and he '"shone goodness on the
surface" He was undoubtedly a clean,
upright. high minded man. and I be-
lieve the leading trait of his fine char
acter was charity. While acting as
governor of Michigan. his greatest
pleasure was to provide little surprises
Christmas times, and he once gave a
warm overcoat to every newsboy In
the city Of Detroit as a Christmas
present. While he was secretary OF
war he gave money from his own
purse to every "char- woman" OF
scrubber of the war department al
Christmas. These women are the
least paid and the hardest worked OF
any Of the government employees. And
1t seemed that Russell A. Alger could
never see honest labor unrewarded sc
long as he, himself was able to con-
tribute finacial aid. He was unos-
tentatious In his charity and many
many kind acts were done without let
ting his right hand know what his LEFT

There was said to be a feud between

 of the necessaries of life. The loss in-
 flicted by strikes on the employers is not much more than half as great as that which is sustained by the em- ployed. who can much less afford to
 bear .t It would be a vast stride in the interests of peace, and of the labor
 ing classes, if the policy of arbitration
 which .s TOW gaining favor for the settlement of international quarrels. were also availed of for the adjustment of disputes between capital and labor. Many blessings would result from the adoption of this method: for, while strikes. as the name implies. are ag- gressive and destructive. arbitration is conciliatory and constructive. The re- suit in the former case is determined by the weight of the purse. in the lat-
 ter by the weight of the argument.

THOMAS HARDY AND EDWARD VII

Thomas Hardy-whose most popular books. such as Tess of the D'Urber- villes. Far From the Madding Crowd, and others, are in perennial demand is a native of Dorsetshire, the part of England in which. under the name of "Wessex," he places his stories.
 He lives in his native shire, in a house of red brick of medium size. al most hidden among trees. He built the house himself on ground which he purchased from the Duchy of Corn wall; and thereby hangs a pleasant tale.
 The piece of land which he had fixed upon was practically crown land. for 1t belonged to the Prince of Wales. as Duke of Cornwall, and Hardy had scant hope of securing it, for he knew that is was seldom that such land was sold.
 But it so chanced that the applica- tion was placed before the Prince himself (now Edward the Seventh). and he was much interested in 1t. Is this Thomas Hardy the writer?" he asked. And, on being told that 1t was. he directed that the piece of land be sold to him. We must do all we can to please such an admirable writ CT as Thomas Hardy" he said.

ORGANIZED LABOR
 CARDINAL GIBBONS
Discusses the industrial Problem in its Various Phases.

Labor has its sacred rights as well as its dignity. Paramount among the rights of the laboring classes is their privilege to organize. or to form them selves into societies for their mutual protection and benefit It is in ac- cordance with natural right that those who have one common interest should unite together for its promotion. writes Cardinal Gibbons in the October Put nam's Monthl--.
 Throughout the United States and Great Britain there is today a continu- ous network of syndicates and trusts. of companies and partnerships. so that every operation from the construction of leviathan steamship to the manu- facture of a needle is controlled by a corporation. When corporations thus combine. il is quite natural that me- chanics and laborers should follow their example. It would be as unjust to deny the workingmen the right to band together, because of the abuses inci- dent to such combinations as to with hold the same right from capitalists, because they sometimes unwarrantably seek to crush or absorb weaker rivals.
 God forbid that the prerogatives Wnlcn am maintaining TOT the WOrk- ing classes should be construed as i'm plying the slightest invasion of the rights and autonomy of employers. There should not, and need not. be any conflict between capital and labor, since both are necessary for the public good. and the one depends on the CO., operation of the other. A contest be- tween the employer and the employed is.as unreasonable and as hurtful to the social body as q war between the head and hands would be to the phy- sical bod-.
 Whoever strives to improve the friendly relations between the proprie- tors and the labor unions, by suggest ing the most effectual means of dimin- ishing and even removing the causes of discomfort, is a benefactor to the community. With this sole end in view venture to touch this most delicate subject, and if these lines contribute to some small measure to strengthen the bond of union between the enterpris- ing men of capital and the sons of toll. should be amply rewarded.
 But if labor organizations have rights to be vindicated and grievances to be redressed, it is manifest that they have also sacred obligations to be full filled and dangers to guard against. As these societies are composed of members very formidable in numbers,

IT WAS A DECREE
 BUT NOT A DIVORCE
The Correction of an Unofficial Record
 of the District Court.

The court reporter of this paper jumped at a conclusion the other day, missed it and landed in error up to his neck. In a nasty review of the court proceedings it was stated that in the case of Maria w. Stewart against F. W. Stewart the plaintiff had been granted a decree of divorce. It is a
 fact that she was ganted a decree but as Attorney Walter Bennett her attor- ney clearly explained in open court yesterday. the judgment entered by the newspaper reporter was slightly at variance with the proof which he had introduced. There were several reasons why the plaintiff could not have obtained a divorce. one of them being that she had not asked for one. Another is that the plaintiff

 There is tragedy and mystery be- hind this action and the story of IL was not long ago told by The Repub- lican and, by the way. by the same court reporter. The defendant several years ago, then a young man was sit ting one afternoon on a porch of the family residence near Mesa, smoking a cigar. He arose and walked toward the barn the barn. So far as is known he has never since been seen by any human being. The stump of the cigar was found a short distance from the house and that was the last trace of Stewart.
 The most exhaustive search was made in every direction but without the slightest result. The statutory time having passed within which one who drops out of sight. has not been heard of. and then is legally dead. this action to quiet title was begun
