for the consumptive poor. and this
has gone on all year. One thousand
dollars has been set aside as nucleus
toward building a hospital. Delaware
is now decidedly interested in tuberSI
culosis work, and all this was done In
eighteen days, by penny stamp.
The Plan for 1908.
The American National Red Cross,
this year. has decided to issue the
Christmas Stamp in every state. A
beautiful stamp has been especially
designed by Howard Pyle. the fam
Gus artist. II bears a wreath OF holly,
and MERRY Christmas" and Happy
New Year" II will be on sale at the
Red Cross headquarters In each state,
and IL probably can also be obtained
from local dealers in almost every
town after the FIRST of November.
l19OS. II will be sold in sheets, like
an ordinary stamp. and also in small
books. Q for 10 cents, "a for 25 cents,
as for so cents, like the government
stamps.
The Christmas Stamp is not good
for postage. 1t will not carry any
kind of mail but any kind of mail
will carry It. Each one who uses this
holiday stamp will help to stamp out
the White Plague" II has been
prin; ed this time by the million to
supply the demand. so any quantity

with each order, this rule having
been followed last year with success,
Nobody makes any profit on the
Christmas Stamp, but It was found
last Christmas that every one was
glad to help IL along on these terms.
For an order of one stamp or a thou
sand the price is the same. except in
the little books, which add the cost of
the binding, just as the government
does. The proceeds in each state go
toward tuberculosis work In that
state.
During the run of the stamp last
year, Jacob Refs wrote a congratu-
latory letter to the Delaware Red
Cross, and Governor stuart, OF Penn
glvania Secretary Root and Secre-
tary Taft. all telegraphed their APP
prevail and good wishes. This year
the stamp goes forward to a wider
usefulness Its value will be twofold.
1t educates and arouses. 1t gives
each one a chance to contribute, IL
only a penny. to the war against the
White Plague. and provides a fund
for needed work. If little Delaware
made success, any other state. north
or south, can do so. The National
Red Cross brings this Christmas
Stamp TO the whole nation this year.
II each American man, woman and
child buys one. sixty-five millions will
be sold, and tuberculosis work from
Maine to California will be reinforced
and urged forward. When Denmark
has succeeded. can America fail?

Probable No New Steps VIII BE Taken
at PittsburE TIL After
Holidays.

PITTSBURG, Dec. A.-It is said today
that additional arrests in connection with
the graft scandal will probably not be
made until after Christmas. According to
Director Land and Police Magistrate Brady,
a large number Of arrests are contem-
plated, but when they will be made is
known only to the officials OF the Voters
league and the private detectives employed
by the league. However. 1t is possible the
arrests may be made today.
Mayor Guthrie today declared that the
fact that several members of the nance
committee of councils are involved in the
bribery scandal should in no way delay
consideration and passage OF the appro-
prlations ordinance before the beginning OF
the next fiscal year, February 1, 1908. This
statement was forthcoming in reply to a
rumor that the funds OF tho city would be
tied up on account Of the arrest of the
J seven councilmen, some of whom are i'm.
portant members OF the finance committee
None of the accused councilmen has an.
nounced whether he intends to exercise hii
functions as a member of the council while
the charges are pending.
1t Is reported this afternoon tina the
voters league is also engaged in making &
thorough investigation Of the tenderloin dis
trict and the owners OF houses are 10 b,
prosecuted for renting their houses to b,

JUDGE PARKER TALKS OF DECREE
Says Unconstitutional Orders Of All
Courts Are Void.

says OrOers OF All
Courts Are Void.
NEW YORK, Dec. Accommodating on
the sentence imposed by Justice Wright
against the officers Of the American Fed
Grafton Of Labor in the contempt proceed
ings growing out of the Buck Stove and
Range company, former Judge Alton B.
Parker of counsel for the Federation Off
GERS today declared that the decision would
be subjected to review by a higher tribunal
and that he believed "that speaking and
writing which Justice Wright holds con-
~stitutes contempt Of court, cannot be pre-
vented either by statute or judicial decree"
1.-THE constitution of every %state,' said
Mr.. Parker, provides in effect that every
citizen may freely speak, write and pub
fish his sentiments on all subjects, being
responsible for the abuse of that right. and
that no law should be passed to restrain
or abridge the liberty Of speech or of the
press"
Analysing the scope Of the courts in
junction against the publishing Of the name
of the Buck Stove and Range company in
the I'VE don't patronize" or unfair" lists
OF the American Fe6erationist, Mr.. Parker
says tina IF the order can be so construed
as to prevent respectfn editorial comment
upon the scope of the sdeoree or TO, prevent
a free discussion Of II, and an expression
Of opinion that It does not seek to prevent
such discussion in such event, it offends
against the constitution, then so much of
it as attempts to do so is void.
"It has been urged that even If the
court/in violation of the constitution does
make an order prohibiting a man from
making a speech on a certain subject or
prohibiting a newspaper from publishing
an editorial on the same subject the party
e~njoined must, nevertheless, obey the de-
cree; If he do not the court may punish
him, although 1t has no power to make
the order. But certainly that which the
constitution prohibits, the court may not
da, any more han the legislature. The
unconstitutional statute need not be
obeyed; and so the courts nave held time
and again. 1t would seem to follow tina
a decree OF a court offending against the
constitution need not be obeyed, because
it is wholly and completely void. II
seems to me that the judicial department
of the government will not be guilty Of
the, absurdity of holding that an uncon.
stitutional enactment by the law-makinl
departments Of the government may bt
defied by the humblest citizen with i'm,
punity because absolutely void, but that
on the other hand, a decree of the judicia
department equally offending against tn,
constitution has such force and vitality
as to support Imprisonment of him who
standing on his constitutional rights
dares to violate It,"
