OPINION IS UNANIMOUS

That Labor Unions Had Right to

to the supreme court.
injunction Not Justified.
The supreme court holds that the
injunction could not be justified by
any possible state OF facts and that 1t
is not unlawful for labor unions to
withdraw their patronage from the
firm, as IT had no property rights in
its trade.
The opinion further declares that If
an individual, acting alone, has a GER
tain right, he don't lose that right
merely by acting with others having
similar rights as individuals.
The opinion concludes with the
statement that labor unions may not
be enjoined from instituting and con-

o'clock this morning and ended at IL
O'Clock tonight at Alliance.
It was the busiest day he has had

Gratis and republicans joining alike in
the welcome to Nebraska's distin-

Washington, June 1.-THE Panama
presidential campaign which is to
culminate in an election the first
week in July, has recently developed
Revolutionary tendencies'' to such an
extent as to cause grave concern and
the serious intention to employ Sc.
we're measures on the part Of the
American government to insure a
fair and honest election, probably the
first in the history of Central Ameri-
can politics.
The 500 American marines sta
toned on the isthmus will be de-
tailed on the two election days to the
100 polling places. AS some Of the
precincts will need no armed super
vision, and others may need more
than handful Of troops. the marines
will be distributed where they will do
the most good in the way OF preserv-
ing order.
Duty OF united states.
Both BY treaty and by special agree
ment, the Panama government has
opened the way and made it the duty
Of the United States to insure a fair
and honest election, and until the
more recent developments this was
accomplished by the presence of
civilian American commissioners at
the polling places. The plan to detail
the marines has not been formally an
nounced, but it is said to be inevita-
BILE by those familiar with the situa-
5tion. S8%.e
The call for a personal conference
with Minister Squires is the result, 1t
lis explained, OF these new develop
ments. At the same time, Mr..
squires may be asked to explain Ger.

feet that he has allowed himself to
become enthusiastic in favor Of one OF
the candidates. Minister Squires will

H. w. Lockhart, Bannock County: They know
where 1 stand I am for the last platform
P. H. Smith, Twin Falls County: Twin Falls
County Democracy is unalterably opposed to Nor
monism within county and the state, principally
account of their united power in politics. We be-
believe in free government and equal rights to all
which we know cannot exist under Mormon control.
We have declared Our position clearly upon this
matter and will not change position. AS
a matter of political policy we have nothing to lose
and everything to gain.
T. D. Conner Twin Falls County: believe the
state is controlled by the Mormon church and 1
opposed church dctation in political affairs.
Frank Harris, Washington County: I unqual-
i6edly opposed to any backward step on the So
called Mormon issue I am for the 1906 platform on
this question. No good American look comp1ac-
emily upon a situation where certain creed seeks
control of the state and at the time its members
bear higher allegiance to its chief priests and rulers
than they do to their country.
W. C. Whitwe11, Lemhi County: I am not in fav-
of taking any backward step the Mormon
question. Our position is right and should con-
tinue the fight until Idaho is redeemed from the
power of the Mormon church.
Fred T. Dubois, Bingham County: The Dem
ocracy of Idaho is more united and aggressive than
it ever has BEEN 1t is standing the high ground
that po1ygamous living must be stamped out and
that the Constitution of the state must be obeyed
The party has again spoken plainly that it wants
alliance with the Mormons
J. M. Bennett, Canyon County: The Democrats
of Idaho cannot afford to take any backward step
in the coming campaign the Mormon question.
M. G. Cage, Ada County: Our Constitution pro-
hibits members of the Mormon church exercising
the franchise or holding office. think every good
citizen should stand for the enforcement of laws
and especially the provisions of our Constitution
The Democracy should insist the enactment of
laws to enforce our Constitution.
L. c. Jones, Lincoln County: Think this should
be submitted to the voters at primary.
R. NJ Hattabaugh, Idaho County: [ believe there
is menace in state that surpasses the question
of putocracy Is polygamy right? If we think SO,
let us vote the Republican ticket Why not fight
this battle to the end
NJ S. Parker, Ada County: The Democratic par
ty cannot afford to take backward step in this mat
ter in the approaching campaign, and l am confident
it will not The party's platforms adopted by the
last two state conventions helped to frame, and
am now no less an advocate of the principles there
in enunciated than I have been in the past.

bv the succeeding clause, IN &C
cordance with the provisions OF

cratic power, power which can
be very salutary IN the hands OF
a wise and conscientious man,
but exceedingly dangerous IN
those of a suave and plausible
hypocrite. The last words are
used advisedly because the law
declares that all parish superln-
tendents shall be men Of high
moral character" and of course
if a bad man slip in, he must first
deceive the State Board of Edu-
cation before he can get his GER
tificate of eligibility.

CERTTFTCATE or ELIGiBiLi-
TY.

At the risk of being boresome
we must comment on the ccrtlfi-
Gates of eligibility required be
fore a man can serve as a parish
superintendent of schools. With
out animadverting as others
have done upon the possibili-
ty of the State Board of Educa-
ton, having predictions and
Dreiudices like other men, we
have no quarrel with certificates
of eligibility. The position Of a
parish superintendent should
have the dignity of a profession
and a certificate from the high
est state authority is as right
and proper as a lawyers or q
surgeons license. But had the
law been entirely honest in this
provision it would have resolved
the State Board of Education in
to a board of examiners, before
whom an applicant could lay
his credentials and diplomas, and
if need be, by formal eXamina-
ton, demand a certificate.
Would-be parish superinten-
dents are caught in this net:
superintendent de facto, posi-
bly, in another. For example,
should one fail to please in his
field of labor and be brought
before the State Board, that
body, if it find the charges just
must revoke his certificate, a
palpable injustice in many cases
as except in grave instances Of
proved moral delinquency OF
executive incompetency, q man,
unsuccessful in one place, might
prove entirely satisfactory in an
other. He may be q square PEG
in a round hole and need only to
find the square hole. This law
banishes him from the state tc
seek school employment, if his
certificate be revoked.

be in the 10th ward of the last

addition to the strong support
he is given on the east side of the
river, Ascension is strong for
him. His strength is growing
daily in East Baton Rouge, some
of the strongest and best men
of the parish being numbered
among his supporters. Fair
minded men there recognize that
Baton Rouge should not claim
every thing, always. Hence
they are for Bob WickIitfe.

DEMOCRATIC ANNOUNCEMENTS:
BRYAN. THE PARTYS HOPE.

Mr.. Burruss McGehee of Lau-
rel Hill has written the Picayune
saying that no ''hayseed is so
green as to bet his money on a
twice beaten quarter horse and
suggests that the conservative
vote of the South be cast for Taft.
AS rule we esteem Mr.. Nc
Gehee's opinion highly, but we
must agree in this instance with
the Picayune, which says:
"Mr. Bryan has forswom his most
radical doctrines, and now stands for
Democratic principles along with
Judge Gray, Judge Parker, Senator
Daniel and all the leading Democrats
whose principles have never been
questioned. The Picayune accepts his
candidacy and counsels all Democrats
in the South to do so,
ne fltbt uLe Has u ms II 'plii.Oi
of Judge Taft as citizen, but to-day
he is the standard-bearer of the Re,
publican sectional party, opposed tC
the South and its great interests and
the South should act in accordance
with that fact.
Bryan is the great hope, the
only hope ofthe Democratic par.
ty, and even with defeat the
South will be in no worse posi-
ton than it now is, while it's de,
lection to Taft would not give
one iota of advantage to its inter
