Monroe City Democrat. (Monroe City, Mo.) 1888-1919, 1908-08-27
Stones Fight for the States.
Macon Times-Democrat, Aug. 13.)


fought with his great ability and
strong arm every encroachment Of
the central authority upon the
rights of the sovereign states Of the
union and their, people. While a,
member of the House OF RepreseR
tatives twenty years ago he DAde
an aggressive fight for legislation
restricting the power of The federal
courts to interfere in tbsf affairs OF
a state. On one OCCASION in the
House of Representatives he led a
solitary filibustSf and blocked the
passage of bI1l increasing the sal
aries of FEDERAL judges and charging
and extending their jurisdiction by
insisting upon an amendment which
deprived such courts of the right to
Hmprison officials of a state for re-
fusing to levy oppressive tax bur
dens at the mandate of the courts.
This legislation had particular ref
erence to the historic St. Clair cOun-
ty case, but was general in its ap-
plication and drawn to cover all
similar cases. He proposed to cur
tail and restrict the jurisdiction Of
federal courts in mandamuS and in
junction proceedings. This position
he has held strongly as Congress
man, Governor and since he has
been Senator
In 1898, aroused by the imprison-
ment of the County Judges of ST.
Clair county, under an order of the
Federal Court he called upon the
Legislature to memorabilia Congress
to limit the jurisdiction of the fed
eral courts SO as to forbid them
from compelling any state officer, |
by mandamus or other writ, to per-
form any official act arising under |
or authorized by the laws of such
state, and to enact a law in Mis- |
souri, providing that a special coun-
ty judge might be named in certain
emergencies to perform statutory
duties enjoined upon the county
courts, his authority to cease upon
the completion of the special pur-
pose for which he should be ap-
pointed. The question Of federal
Interference in domestic affairs
through the action of the courts in
trying to compel county officials to
levy taxes to pay fraudulent obliga-
tons, was acute during Stones CUB
ernatorial term, and he took front
rank among those who fought
against unwarranted and unjust
usurpation of power by the federal
courts.
Stone has never faltered in this
behalf. He stood against the OPP
pressive measures OF arbitrary fed
eral judges when in Congress, and
fought for his people while he was
Governor, even to the extent of de-
flying a United States Marshal,
whom the Governor held was seek
ing to interfere in local affairs be-
yond his right. Not only this, but
his voice has often been raised, in
the Senate and elsewhere, against
loosely drawn legislation effectingt
the power of the federal courts to
Cypress the people and hamper the
s in putting their own statutes
effect. In the famous debate
he railroad rate bill he took adj
lced grounds, along with Tillman,
LaFollette, Bailey and others in the
fight to prohibit injunctions setting
aside the orders of the Interstate
Commerce Commission He spoke
in the Senate in favor Of that prop
osition, and voted for it when it
was offered on the floor. He stands
sduarely on the Denver platform

DENMARK.
Copenhagen.

4 dispatch from Copenhagen says:
"There has been a flirtatious tendency
in Copenhagen, with Berlin as its OBJ
jective. This led King Edward during
his recent visit to Copenhagen to make
the remark that if Denmark wanted
peace it was necessary to act in such
a way that no suspicion would be
aroused. King Edwards words were
far from sensational as to their form
and the way they were spoken, but
the whole nation realized their vast
significance as soon as they were put
in the proper light"
Great dissatisfaction exists on the
Farce islands and one man rule is
making itself felt very effectively. For
mer Rigsdags Representative Pattur-
son, who was defeated at the last cleo
tons, has commenced a bitter agita-
ton against the Danish government
and his intention is to rule the island.
There is every evidence that he will
succeed, too, if the Danish government
does not take a hold Of the matter in
earnest.
The Danish government has decided
to discontinue the Danish West India
lottery, in which principally American
gamblers have been playing. The lot
terry was organized about two years
ago for the purpose of raising money
for recognizing the administration ON
the island. The governments decision
to discontinue the lottery has been
greeted with universal satisfaction in
Denmark, especially in church circles.

MASS MEETING
Of JAPANESE
Higher Wages Workers viii
Discuss Purpose Next
Sunday Night.

A mass meeting of japanese has been
called for Sunday evening in the Japan
ese theater for the consideration of the
higherwage question and the best meth
ods of obtaining that boon from the
plantations. 1t is expected by the of
feials of the Higher Wage Association,
who have called the meeting and who
are now conducting postcard cam
paign among the laborers in getting
backing for their proposal, that there
will be a great turnout of japanese
merchants and others at the meeting,
in contrast to the attendance at the last
meeting they called, at which only re-
pOrters and hotelkeepers presented
themselves.
cit is quite wrong to think that we
are agitators or that we have any idea
of attempting to stir up any trouble on
the plantations, said Fred Maxine,
the president of the association, last
night eve realize quite as well as
anyone else that a strike on the part of
any of the laborers would react against
them more than it would against any
one else. Three or four years ago things
might have been different. Then, if
the laborers went on a strike. it was
the knowledge that if unsuccessful they
could leave Hawaii for Vancouver or
for the mainland. Now they must STAY
here or return to Japan, from which !
place they could not come back TO Ha- |
waii. The japanese laborers here now
have to stay here and live here, and |
they know it.
"We feel that the japanese in Ha- /!
waii are justified in the demand they
are prepared to make for more pay. |
The cost of living has gone up in the
asst few years, but there has been no
increase in the pay of
The laborers. 1t has simply resolved
tself into situation where the Japan
ese plantation lahorer is not earning
enough to keep himself and his family.
4 man must earn enough to live on
md have a surplus to lay aside for the
ainy day. That is necessary, and
wages must go up"
