the dignity OF manual labor has been adopted by all asseso Of workers ant be-
come a holiday fr ALL In good sooth the American people hav needed more
holidays. In Europe public outings are quite frequent; here they nav been un-
common. Americans looked in wonder at the multiplicity IF the fesa days of
the Italian immigrant when he began to establish a home in America. The
Hebrews have festivals, too. besides observing all thu national holidays. Both
races prosper. Notwithstanding the time devded to social Dr. religious observance
so Labor Day filled a long felt want It occurs too at q period about midway
between Independence Day and Thanksgiving Day, ant al a season when the
weather is exceptionally favorable o a outing. In the United States all men
are laborcrs With hand OF brain. The exceptions are indgnifcanuy few. And,
whether with hand or brain, the AmGicani a hard and intense worker. one
great reasons is that he sees before him opportunities vouchsafed to the people of
no other country under the sum- and another reason is that he maintains a style
OF living that demands his best energies to maintain With this intense appH
cation to work, Labor Day is a physical necessity for the American worker. to
Tie nan in the office or the countng-room, or behind the counter, OF in the
Workshop an factory, md that necessity should be INDUCED by all next Monday

A PLAN FOR JUD0E-MADe JURiEs.

Whether the power OF selection by sherfs of members Of a grand jury can
be taken away except by al amendment to he State Constitution is in dispute
by lawyers. AS the Trenton Times points nut, the power of the sheriff always
existed under the old common law. The Constitution adopted in 1874 simply
provides hat the several omts of la and equity, except as provided in thu
Constitution, should continue with the like powers and Jurisdiction a if this
Constitution had not been adopted" The Constitution specifically forbids more
than one term for a sheriff, and if the Constitution maker Ia In ida of
