l am not claiming any credit for what I did
am only trying to prove to you that what ] did
was according TO law, that it was according to
the evidence as produced before me, and TO say
that because l so decided these cases am
enemy OF labor is a gross injustice, especially
when the principles which laid down are the
principles under which labor organizations have
grown to be the great, powerful systems they
are in this country.
Labor should unite in order 10 meet the power
of capital We have got TO recognize that, and we
have got to encourage il, but we have got to
give the courts the power to keep both capital
and labor within the law. and any system that
Eyeakens the courts that introduces jury trial
between a final order of the court and its en-
forcement. is 10 make the courts laughing
stock and the first people that would suffer un-
der such 4 system are the very workingmen in
whose interest that change and that weakening
of the power Of the courts is asked
Under those circumstances / ask the laborinS
men whether they prefer. in order TO prevent in
functions being issued against then-Which in
its nature would be class gislation-Whether
they prefer when many of them never had an
injunction issued against then, and many of
them have never felt its weight at aIl-whether
for that sentimental reason they propose TO put
into power party whose economic system is
certain 10 destroy the industries of this country.
TO make a transition from the industries
they now exist TO some new line Of industries,
so that there shall be a depression of the most
disastrous character, like that we had between
1899 and 1896; whether they are in favor of
party that between 1885 and 1900 wanted to cut
down the dollar TO so cents and then pay wages
in that kind Of medium.
In other words, | appeal to the intelligent la
boring men Of this community to consider their
own interests. TO leave the demagogues and those
who appeal only TO passion, and look at their
real interests and then decide who will preserve
them, the Republican or the Democratic party.

A man in need Of information naturally

should be the Department Of Commerce

is very inadequate substitute for the

country exporting 5000, ,OOO, 900 worth Of

that amount. The name OF this bureau
should be changed, and it should be

In incontlnently running away from his
labor allies he attempts TO alleviate the
bitterness Of betrayal by the suggestion
that the radical labor policies are simply
abandoned 'for this session.
We have none too high an opinion Of
Mr. GOAIPERs's political astuteness, but
he is much too old a bird TO be caught
with this chat. His repeated statements
have shown that he fully understood
that the only time his radical demands
could have had any chance Of adoption
was at the present session Of Congress,
on the eve Of a Presidential election
and with a powerful and unscrupulous
party leader swapping the party whip
He knows that after the next Presidential
election the President will have no further
use for him and his radical demands In

The Comment Of a Consul.

In the form Of a suggestion rather
than a complaint, the American Consul
at Gothenburg, Sweden, submits an in
teresting comment on the increasing
! number Of applications made TO our Con-
suls all over the world for special infor-
nation regarding trade opportunities in
their respective localities Mr.. ROBERT
son is Of the opinion that most of these
inquiries should be submitted to the
Department Of Commerce and Labor,
in Washington. Upon this point we
agree with Mr. ROBERTSON.
A national Department of Commerce
should be repository of all possible
information regarding trade and trade
conditions the world over. II should
be the distributing centre for all such
information. In such a department,
properly organized, there should be
assembled arranged, classified, as sys-
tematically as are the books and pam
phlets in public library, all that is
known or that can be known of the
trade and commerce Of other lands. In
brief, the Department Of Commerce
should stand 10 the merchants and the :
manufacturers Of the country as the
Department Of Agriculture stands to the
farmers. 1t is true that appropriations
for the Department Of Commerce and
Labor exceed those for the Department
Of Agriculture, but the percentage ex-
pended for purposes which in any way
benefit or even affect our foreign trade
is trivial.
II may be assumed from the terms Of
the bill by which it was created that one
purpose in the establishment Of the
Department Of Commerce and Labor
was the installation Of an effective agency !
for the extension Of our oversee trado. |
Its work in that direction has not been |
entirely insignificant, but il has beer
exceedingly limited. The increasing cor
respondence TO which Mr.. ROBERTSON
refers, the increasing number of applica-
tions made by merchants directly 10
Consuls, shows one Of two situations,
namely, either the Department Of Com
merce and Labor is weak and inefficient

Marriages In Jail.

On Friday, the first day of May, 1908
JOHN GIBBONS and URSULA BENNETT
were united in marriage at the Suffolk
County Jail in Riverhead by GEORGE W.
HILDRETH, Esq, Justice Of the Peace.
We CLEAN the following particulars OF
this interesting event from the Riperhedd
Weekly NeVs, the local newspaper;
"Mr, GIBBONS Is In jail working out a q 900 IN,
al the rate Of y day. He was convicted last
December Of illegally selling nquor ln dry East
Hampton. Miss BENNETT decided She did not want
70 walt until her lover should get out OF jail 50 she
requested permission to have the marriage per.
formed behind the bars.
Warden FURET, with his accustomed large
heGJtedness assisted 10 the best OF his ability
He permitted the couple TO use hs private once on
the second noor Of the JAN. which IL nicely fur
nished and decorated, and II was there nat the
brief ceremony was performed. Warden FuRHY
was bes, man and Miss FRANcEs EDvARDs was
maid Of honor
The bride was becomlnEy sttIred in neat
brown suit Her maid Of honor was Eowned In
white even to white shoes,
The bridegroom made the Justice q handsome
present after the ceremony. II Is said that this Is
the nnt time that marriage ever took place In the
jail. Following the ceremony Mrs. GIBBONS re-
mslned while in Jail with her husband and then
left for her home in East Hampton"
The question which such an event sug-
gests is whether criminals ought to be
permitted to marry while undergoing
punishment for their crimes.
In other words is this sort OF thing
right?
We have always had an idea--just a
feeble glimmering noUon-that when the
law imposed a punishment for crime il
was intended to be punishment some
thing disagreeable to the convict, physi-
cally and mentally unpleasant, and in
no wise consistent with comfort We
had not supposed that pleasure was
designed to constitute any element in
the prison life Of a person adjudged
guilty Of criminal offence. Marriage,
however, is ordinarily assumed to be one
Of the most pleasurable incidents in a
mans career; and that convicted Crimi-
nal should be permitted to enjoy this
privilege except in those cases where
he marries in order TO do what he can
toward repairing wrong which he has
done the wOman-seems to us an in
congruity in the administration of our
penal institutions which cannot be cor
rected too soon.
There ought to be a general rule, APP
plicable to the cases of ali convicts alike,
prohibiting the prison authorities from
permitting their marriage while under
going incarceration. We should not have
supposed that such a prohibition was
necessary, but this Jail marriage at River
head shows that il is 1t may be said in
defence Of the warden's conduct that
the offence of the bridegroom, being only
a violation Of the liquor law, did not
involve any serious wfongdoing or moral
but il he can lawfully allow a
convict Of one class to marry in JAIL We
do not see why he may not allow con-
vict of any class TO marry there.
The plain fact is that Jail is no place !
for a marriage anyway-except to right |
a wrong.
