a certain firm because it is considered
'Unfair?" Mr.. Taft condemns the sec
ondary boycott; but this is a primary
boycott.
The Chicago Record Herald says the
decision raises the whole question of
the twilight zone" in labor disputes.
1t states its contention thus:
The Record-Herald has repeatedly
spoken Of the twilight zone" in the
: laws applicable to Industrial disputes,
the respective rights Of employers and
! employed in strikes. threatened
strikes. peaceful pickedng and boy
cotting. the use Of moral suasfon, etc
Nothing could emphasize the danger
or leaving such a zone, or uncertaintv
in the law and contradictions anon :
courts, more strikingly than the cN-
lraordlnary spectacle presented In tae
contempt case Attorneys of promi-
nence and authority. including an eX-
chief Justice Of a State court of last
resort, argue that the law as to boy
cotting and labor combinations is too
vague to Justify Interference with
publications of unfair lists" .
There are doubts to be cleared up,
problems to be solved, differences 10
be reconciled and compromised in the
sphere OF labor law"
The Boston Transcript says:
The evils of the secondary boycott
are only too apparent Hardly less so,
if a labor union is TO have any CO
heSiOn, is the necessity that II should
have some claws. and between the
two extremes II remains for our law
makers and the courts to draw the
line. These contempt cases are sure
20 bring this much more fundamental
issue TO the front
Further, the press generally agrees
that if the law can get at the man so
easily in the case of a labor leader who
violates the Sherman antitrust act and
infict a jail sentence, there ought to be
something doing in the case of the
trust magnates who violate the same
law in many different ways. There Is
no demagogy IN these utterances, but
a commendaLIe indication to hold the
scales steady; to uphold the court in
demanding that its decision be obeyed
and then TO look behind at the fairness
and justice of the law under which the
decision was rendered.
After all, it is public opinion that
ultimately decides questions of this
character. There can be little doubt
that, before the present case IS dis
posed Of, the public viii come to grasp
the vital points that are involved and
viii gradually make known how far, in
its view, labor should be perm jtted TO
90 in bringing employers to terms.

PRIMARY ELECTIONLAWS UN.
DER SCRUTINY.

State legislatures which meet this
winter may have much to Do with de
termining the immediate future of the
primary election system throughout
the country.
The South was first to accept the
scheme of the popular primary. The
reason is obvious There is but one
party in the South All the real fights
must be made within the ranks Of De
mocracy. Unless the warning elements
be given opportunity for fighting out
the differences within the Democratic
ranks, there can be no determinative @
tests Of public opinion in the South.
This has not been true at the North.
and therefore the North has been
slower to adopt the primary. In most
of the Northern States it is still posi-
bic to get up a frst-class row between
Republicans and Democrats, and,
therefore, it Is not necessary TO get op-
posing factions of the dominant party
at swords points But in the last few
years there has been a growing de
mand in the North, too, for the pri-
mary system Of nominations.
Lately there has been a good deal
of criticism Of the popular primary
laws of Southern and Western States.
Especially has that of Oregon been
brought under fire. But it Is interest
ing to note that while the academic
critics are finding fault with the Ore
con plan, several States are interesting
themselves in it. Governor elect Stubbs
of Kansas was investigating the OIe-
gon plan while in Washington recently,
and expressed himself as incIining
strongly toward it. The Nebraska Leg
islaturc is likely to pass a like statute;
and word comes that the New Hamp-
shire reformers are making the same
proposal part of their program. The
general idea of bringing nominations
closer TO the people Is, apparently, not
losing ground.
The Washington times., 1908-12-30
RELIGIONS INFLUEN CE
AMONG PRACTICAL MEN.

Among reasoning and cultivated men
among the men from whom in past
days the ranks of doubters and skeptics
were mostly recruited, there Is distinc-
lively noticeable growing tendency to
draw closer TO religion, to affix its ties
and to profit by its revelations and IN
spirations. This is the class of the so
called sensible reasoning beings who are
not moved. or are rarely moved. by i'm
pulse or enthusiasm, are unaffected bv
hvstcria, and who accept religion. when
they accept 1t, upon the basis of its par
value.
The habit of skepticism stiI con
tinues, of course, and will long con
tinue. Il viii in the future, as it has in
the past, serve a valuable purpose in
leading the criticism and causing a
thorough exposition Of the details and
purposes of religion.
What is now to be noted Is the
growth of the religious habit and ac-
ceptance among the men of hard, prac-
ticsl tendencies Of mind, among the
men who calculate and weigh. The re
ports from all sides received during the
past year show among our churches.
local and distant, the impress of the
business man. Mems associations, for
example, with systematic methods,
carry the message everywhere, keeping
account OF those to whom it has gone
and Of the welcome it has received
This Is religion made to fit man-not
the sort that once, and not many wears
ago, tended to fly over his head, It is
the religion carried TO the man as his
daily bread.

Mr.. TAFT'S BUSINESS TRIP TO
PANAMA.

Announcement of the list of distin-
guished engineers who viii go TO Pana-
ma with Mr. Taft to study conditions
and requirements on the Canal Zone is
calculated to inspire confidence in
whatever report may be made as a
result of this investigation.
The men who are to go with the
President-elect are all of the first rank
in their profession, and they are men
who will not be influenced by political
or professional considerations. There
will be no need of weighing the posi-
bilities of professional jealousy when
this committee of experts shall have
passed on the condition and the posi-
bilities of the big ditch.
The Panama Canal is TO the United
States exactly what the Sucz Canal
was TO Britain: a military necessity
first, a commercial opportunity after
ward. 1t would be foolish to place it
on any other ground. Britain needed
to protect and control the shortest
road to India; we need to assure and
fortify the shortest and best route be
tween the two oceans which the coun-
try fronts.
There was not business for the Sucz
Canal when it was projected. As a
commercial proposition it was long a
disappointment; but today it pays
large dividends to stockholders, of
whom the British government is chief
There is every reason to expect that
the Panama Canal Will be a disappoint-
ment compared to that at Suez. The
students of commercial conditions are
pretty well agreed on this. II will not
SO soon develop paying tonnage, be
cause there is little In the Pacific to be
reached by water which cannot rs
cheaply and more conveniently be
reached by the Suez route. But there
is the tremendously important military
necessity Of protecting both coasts of
the United States with one navy. In
some regards We are the weakest ma
tion in the world, because We are rul-
nerablc on both borders. Therefore, It
is important that the canal be built as
soon as possible, and that it be so
nearly perfect as may be- Fortunately,
the President who will complete the
canal, like the one under whom it was
begun, fully realizes the Importance of
tho great task and the need of doing it
well
