injunction could be issued in cases of industrial
disputes until after the defendant parties had been
notified and given hearing That section of the
law was not repealed but eliminated by codif-
cation, inadvertently Mr. Monnett believes, and the
rest of us will try and believe the thing
But it is matter of history that the sufferers from
injunction without notice" have never been able to
secure the re-enactment of the clause expunged by
the codifcation commission, although their repre-
sentatives have been beseging congress the sub

service.
-Four years ago, organized labor gave Mr. Roose-
welt tremendous vote in Ohio and Pennsylvania,
under the belief that he endorsed its injunction de-
mand Mr.. Monnett does not say that labor was
deceived in its estimate of the intentions of Mr..
Roosevelt Possibly he was unable to procure the
legislation that expected by his industrial sup
porters, for congress fought his reform propositions
assduously as would if they had been advanced
by democrat.
Organized labor is still pursuing its demand for
legislation that is not extreme sensationallegisa

surreptitiousy as the double standard the year
before
Under the law, as it was amended by the codifica-

The American People.

The Nampa Leader Herald takes the undemocratic
view:
The American people will think better of the
who some other for the president than
the who names himself and has such complete
control of his party that he enforce his
nation
If the American people feel that way, and they
probably do not they have followed the ship of state
far from its original moorngs. Fear of centraliza-
ton of power for many years prevented the original
American people from consenting to constitutional
government. And when it came to be a necessity,
it cautiously accepted
That their descendants will permit single in
power to their president, is conclusion to
be accepted applying to them in these times of
rest over the tendency of their government to
vert to the methods against which the colonies re-
voted
Mr. Taft nominated through the employment
of the patronage of the administration and while in
general way, the American people think we'll of the
who applied the power of patronage to effect the
succession, they will hardly endorse the methods en-
ployed when they go to the polls to vote
If they do they will consent that Mr.. Taft may
name his successor through the employment of the
patronage that will fall to him. How long can a
republic last under such system?

MUM on theft by which stolen goods
become the property Of the thief If he
can prove that he has had possession
OF them for over five years. In the
thieves market-which is. of course,
licensed by the police-goods that ad-
mittedly have been stolen (more than
five years before) are openly offered
for sale. and the place is a veritable

and their enterprising friends, as also
for the more honest members of so
ciety. who secure many tempting

MS Anavysts OF the Character OF The
New eoarder.
II can tell you all about yourself"
said the boarding house Sherlock
Holmes to the new boarder after the
landlady had introduced them across
the roast mutton.
The boarding house sleuth prided
himself on his keen observation Of hui
man nature und his ability to make de.
auctions therefrom.
you're a mind reader, are you?"
asked the new boarder.
ITO a great extent" replied the
sleuth. For instance, I never met
you before. but know you are from
the east
Good guess" said the new boarder.
"You come from family of extraor-
binary ability and good antecedents.
although none Of your family possesses
great wealth."
The new boarder smiled his approval.
"A peculiar thing about you is that
your beard is Of remarkable toughness.
Your face. on the contrary. is very
tender. so that you experience great
difficulty in shaving. Few razors are
made Of fine enough steel to overcome
the texture Of your beard"
"True again." said the new boarder.
although don't know how you guess
ed it. but my beard is the toughest
have ever encountered"
ALSO you are rough and ready hu.
morist. able to snap out funny re-
mark in almost any situation that can
arise"
"Say." said the new boarder, you
make me feel uncanny. How do you
do this stunt Of character reading?"
The boarding house Sherlock smiled
broadly and speared French fried.
"1t's this way" he calculated. "Sim-
pie enough when explained. like all
really great detective work. I knew
you were from the east by the way you
worked the salt shaker. Westerners
pick up the salt shaker with the right
hand and plunge it at the food. East
erners seize the shaker with the left
hand. invert it and tap it briskly on
the bottom with the right hand"
The boarders gasped in admiration of
the sleuth's genius.
II knew you came from a remarkable
family because that's the kind we all
come from. concluded your relatives
were not overburdened with wealth or
you wouldn't be living in this hashery.
I knew your whiskers were remark
ably tough. for every man living thinks
he has the toughest whiskers going.
The barber tells him so. Somehow or
other man takes it as high compli-
ment to be told his whiskers are the
toughest the barber ever tackled. Then
1t helps reconcile the victim to having
his face torn off.
