FRATERNITY.

Fraternity without sincerity, with
out the full heart in the work, without
freedom from the common jealousies
and prejudices Of the mind, is but an
empty shell. It may be admitted, in
deed 1t must be conceded, that men,
bers Of any and all fraternal orders or
trades unions are more or less in
fluenced by the circumstances that
surround them, but If they are Of any
value to an order they must have a
warm place in their hearts for the I'M
fortunate members whose lines of life
have run off from the path Of serenity.
A brother and his family may suffer
for the necessities Of life, for want OF
employment, or other causes, and may
be temporarily relieved by the prayers
and best wishes of conscientious
brother, but a ton of coal or a bushe]
of potatoes will have more telling
effect upon the minds in the little
household. Good sound practical fra
ternity is worth more than mountains
Of theory or volumes of rules. If every
brother would practice it In that light
there would be no cause to cut down
the price of admission to gain mem
bers.

SUPREME COURT AGAIN DIVIDES.

The United States Supreme Court
has just rendered another divided
opinion. to the effect that the individ-
ual has no redress from the power OF
a prejudiced and passion-swayed judge
who may be clothed with a. little
brief authority.
Some two years ago Senator Patter-
son Of Denver, owner of the Rocky
Mountain News and Denver Times,
criticised in his papers decision rem
dered in an election case, in which
everybody knows that the Judge was
swayed by partisans bias to the ut
most limit. Mr.. Patterson was i'm
mediately hailed before the court with
out ceremony, fined $1,000 for con-
tempt Of court for his criticism. He
secured a writ Of error from Justice
Brewer Of the Supreme Court.
In deciding the case this week the
United States Supreme Court decided
that it had no jurisdiction, and Sen
ator Patterson was remanded to the
tender mercies Of the biased Colorado
judge.
To the common layman, to whom
the niceties of the law do not appeal,
the actual injustice which such cases
work. appeals, and the constantly in
creasing loss Of confidence in the ju-
dietary is the result.
If the old time respect for the bench
is to be maintained, the power to i'm
pose fine or imprisonment for con-
tempt must be taken from judges who
perhaps, in the heat Of passion avenge
personal criticism or may be wipe
out some old score
Public sentiment will continue tc
grow until law is enacted that will
prohibit the punishment of any man
unless he be given his constitutional
right Of jury trial.

BARRIERS UNION Wins
SUPPORT Of ASSEMBLY
BY Decisive Vote the Trades AS
sembly Puts Sullivan's Shop
on Unfair List.

The Assembly held decidedly warm
session last Friday evening. It was
the last meeting to be held at the
Labor World hail. and an unusually
large attendance Of delegates was on
hand.
The grievance Of the BARRIERS against
the shop Of James Sullivan was air.
ed for over an hour. Some Of the
delegates thought that the union was
overstepping itself in attempting to
aid the boss BARRIERS to fix the prices.
They also argued that the BARRIERS had
all they could do to get their wage
scale adjusted.
On the other hand the union repre-
sentatives argued that it was absolute
ly necessary for them to support their
bosses in order that they might receive
an equitable and uniform wage scale.
1t was a hot fight, and the debate
was warm and prolonged. BY a de-
cisive vote, however, the Assembly
supported the contention of the bar
bers, and Sullivan's shop was placed
on the unfair list.
Delegates of the st. Cloud conven-
ton were elected as follows: Martin
Olmen, w. J. Hunt, Earnest Peters,
Alex Kennedy and A. A. Barr. There
were ten candidates. but it required
only one ballot to elect.
