Hurl Dynamite Bombs to Scare Law

Feeling between the members OF
the Law and Order League at Girard,
Ala, and persons opposed TO the pro-

day night when dynamite bombs were
exploded in front of the residences
of c. T. Clifford, president of the

done to persons or property
The explosions followed the arrest
of six men. three white and three
negroes, for violating the prohibition
laws. The Law and Order League
Friday swore out eleven warrants on
information secured by a detective IN
the emplo- OF the league.
Officers OF the league express the
opinion that the dynamite explosions
were made to intimidate them.

clare that m~iscLievous young men
caused the explosions.

The local boys say that they were

Planning to Beat Back the Temper.
ance Wave.

An organized movement against
the wave of prohibition which is
spreading owe the country is now
being made TN New York and else
where. The brewers and dealers in
brewers supplies and machinery are
behind the movement, and are or
ganizing associations throughout the
country, the object of which will be
to fight the prohibition movement.
The organization in New York is
known as the Manufacturers and
Dealers Club of Greater New York,
and circulars have been zen to job
bling firms and men in the financial
district in an effort TO extend the
membership throughout the business
world.
1t is proposed, as soon as the local
organizations are we'll under way
throughout the country, to organize
them into a national organization. 1t
IS said that large numbers of business
men are joining the local %organiza-
ton. In this connection attention is
called to a recently published state
ment of the Distillers' Securities
Corporation to the effect that while
the prohibition movement lessons
the consumption of beer, it has had
at the same time the effect of increas-
ing the demand for stronger bever-

Constantine is Dead; Injuries in Leap
Fatal.

Frank J. Constantine, who was
serving a sentence in the Joliet,
ILL.,, penitentiary for the murder of
Mrs. Louise H. Gentry, died at the
penitentiary hospital at 9 O'Clock
Thursday night from injuries susta1-
ed Saturday when he jumped from
the first gallery of the prison to the
stone floor below.
Had Constantine known Of the fl
ing in the Supreme Court Of a bill of
exception in his case, through which
his attorneys sought to regain his lib
erty, he probably would not have TAX
en- the fatal leap. The bill was pre-
scented TO the upper court an hour be-
fore the Italian murderer jumped.
Attorney Robert E. Cantwell, who
defended Constantine declared
Thursday night the prisoner would
not easily have gwen up hope had e
known of the efforts being made in
his behalf. The receipts from New
York the same day OF $3.50 made 1T
possible to carry on the fight.

Supreme Court Decision.

The supreme court Of the United
States handed down a decision of
far-reaching effect and general inn
portance Tuesday in which the act
OF congress of June 1, 1898. prohibit
ing railroad companies engaged in
interstate from discrimin-
ating against members of labor or
CARNATIONS was held unconstitution-
al. 1t was in the case of William
Adair versus the United States, and
it was decided by the supreme court
favorably to Adair.
The case went to the supreme court
on a writ of error from the United
States district court for the eastern
district of Kentucky. Adair was sued
on the charge of threatening to dis
charge a locomotive engineer named
Coppage, because the latter was a
member OF a labor union. The act of
1898, which was one of the results of
the great Chicago strike, was invok-
GU III PlOiCStlCIi anu tiC
district court fined Adair 500. The
constitutionality of the act was at
tackled in the district cour by the
railroad attorneys, and when the de-
cision was announced they took the
matter to the supreme court. with
the result that the decision of the
lower court was reversed.
Justice Harlan wrote the decision
for the United States, supreme court
and holds that Adair, as master me-
chanic of the Louisville & Nashville
Railroad company. had a right to dis
charge an employee because he was a
member of a labor organization just
as it was the employees right TO leave
such employment because of his
membership in the organization.
Such a course, the decision addeds
might be unwise, but as to the mat
ter of right there could be no doubt
Congress could not authorize a viola
ton of contracts in the guise of pro-
tecting interstate commerce.

Progress in Currency Legislation.

Before the Aldrich currency bill
wa drafted the idea was s~edulously
spread that the tracks were all clear
ed for that bill, whatever it proved TO
be. and hat no other bill would have
a chance for enactment. How faulty
that idea was appeared quickly
enough, and already a number of
changes have been announced de-
signed to make the bill more attrac-
tive to bankers and business men.
Congressman Fowler's bill, as a
rival to the Aldrich bill, has develop
ed so far as can be seen, little or no
strength. In place of it the bankers
BILL" which has now been introduc-
ed in both houses of Congress, has
come to the front, The issue is
irawn, therefore, to all appearances,
between the bankers plan for asset
currency and the Aldrich plan for an
extension of bond-secured currency
issues.
The progress of these two plans
has not. however suppressed the ar
guments in favor of a central bank.
Under the guise of a central clear
ing-house association United States
Treasurer Treat has recently spoken
for this plan. Even more frequently
arguments are heard for some form
Of clearinghouse currency to be used
in emergencies on a legalized basis,
much as the volunteer issues of the
clearinghouse have been used twice
already in times of especially great
need. Ex-Secretary OF the Treasury
Gage has. for example, renewed his
advocacy of this plan, and James G.
Cannon, a New York banker, in lect-
uring at Columbia University the
other day, NOT only thought that an
emergency currency issued through
clearinghouse only was desirable
but that its issue at a rate that would
make it cost the banks 12 per cent
would be wise.-Record-Herald.

Bryan's Financial Plan.

Mr.. Bryan, before leaving the cap
ital, dictated, in response to a re-
quest, the following interview set
ting forth briefly his views on the fl
~nancial situation:
Lack of public confidence is what
drives money out of circulation. Re
store public confidence and money
returns to its accustomed channels.
For lack of confidence the best rem
edy is insurance of bank deposits and
| have urged upon the various states
and Congress the passage OF some
measure similar to the law adopted
by Oklahoma. This provides for the
creation of a guaranty fund by as
sessments from time to time as may
be necessary to restore the guaranty
fund when it is lowered by the pay
ment of money to depositors of failed
banks.
This permits the IL of ali
the banks TO be the resources of each
bank, and insures each deposition
against loss. The Oklahoma statute
permits national banks to take adj
vantage of the state law and a ma.
tional law should permit state banks
to come under the provisions of that
law i'll states which have no guaranty
system.
AS to an elastic currency, | think
provision could be made for sufficient
elasticity i'll time of emergency by a
law providing for the issue of United
States notes, such notes to be loaned
by the Government 10 the banks up
on adequate security and at a rate OF
interest which would compel the re-
tirement of the notes when the emer-
gency is over
Il suppose nearly all members of
Congress and senator's favor some
provision for an emergency currency.
The Democrats as a rule, favor a sys-
ter under which the Government will
issue and control the value of emer-
gency currency. while most Repub!i-
cants favor some system under which
it would be issued and controlled by
the banks. This presents the point in
dispute between the two parties.

Sanity in Legislation.

"Overlegislation" is not infrequent-

of publicity and interference. with
dubious policies. 1t is also, however,
a natural complaint in many in

our legislation. state and local, is
crude, hasty and worthless, full of
jokes and flaws, the product of i'm
