the labor of women will establish
principle of far reaching influence. The
state passed a law forbidding employ
ers from forcing women to work more
than ten hours a day. A Portland
llaundryman questioned the constitu-
tionality of this law. He declared that
it put a limitation upon the power of
contract From the Supreme Court Of
Oregon the case reached the highest
national tribunal. That body has de-
cided in favor Of the state legislation
The opinion of the court, as stated by
Justice Brewer, calls attention to the
fact that the rights of women can no
more be infringed than those Of men.
But on many accounts women are en-
titled to greater protection than men.
Whatever theories may be advanced in
connection with WOmen's rights, the
facts remain that the sexes differ in
structure Of body, in physical strength,
in the capacity for long continued
labor, particularly that done standing.
! The difference is marked when there
is consideration of the influence of Wig
Orous health upon the future well being
of the race, the self-reliance which en-
! ables one to assert full rights and the
capacity to maintain the struggle for
subsistence. Because of these reasons
the court declares that legislation in
behalf of women may be sustained even
II similar legislation is not required for
men and could not be sustained. The
difference in laws for men and women
is justified by the inherent differences
of sex. If some of the burdens which
rest upon women are peculiarly heavy
they ought to have compensation in
other directions. There has long been
recognition Of the principle that child
labor should have its own laws and
should not be put upon the same plane
as that Of adults. This decision places
the labor of women in distinct cate
CORY also. 1t does not deprive state
of the right to refuse to enact laws
| regulating women labor, but it makes
1t certain that state laws regulating
the labor of adult women which differ
from those affecting adult males, will
| not be set aside by the federal Supreme
Court. A state legislature may enact
such law, however, and the state SUI
preme Court hold 1T unconstitutional.
| That was the case in Illinois. Its Su-
preme Court made short work of law
regulating the hours women should
work on the ground that it was an
| unlawful Interference with the right
Of an adult to dispose Of her labor.
Some state Supreme Courts have taken
the Illinois view Of the case, while
others have been Of a contrary opinion
Probably in time there will be a gener-
al acceptance Of the principles enuncia-
ted by the Supreme Court of the Unit
| ed States. The reasons asserted by
the court will be recognized every
where as having great force. They will
make their appeal to the better judg-
ment Of all. Whatever the theories
| advanced in favor Of substantial eQuali-
ty of women and men in political, per-
sonal, and contractual rights the fun
damental differences of sex will con-
tinue to exist and will be considered
as important in shaping laws.

The folly Of the king system of gov
eminent is illustrated In the case of
Portugal. Because an 1S-year-old boy
happens to be the son of his father he
becomes the head of the nation. With
out experience, with immature facul-
ties, without proof of aptitude. without
evidence of the proper sort of character
he is lurched into a seat on the throne.
1t is all very we'll to say that he is but
tigurehead: that the real responsible
ties of the government will be borne by
older men; that he is the ruler of Por-
tugal in name only, but that does not
vindicate the soundness of the monar-
chical idea. If he is to be the actual
head Of the government. the plan of Civ
Ing him such position merely because
he is who he is becomes for that rea-
son peculiarly absurd If he Is not to
be the actual chief of the government,
but an ornament only, the absurdity of
the thing is just as clear for what is
the use of having n king if somebody
else is to do the work? A king under
such circumstances becomes a ridiculous
superfuity and sort of relic of the
old days of popular servility TO a ficti-
tious divine right

THE CHURCH AND LABOR,
By Bishop Fl. c. Potter.

1t IS not the giving Of money or the
creation of charitable institutions
that builds up the feeling of brother
hood among men. The poor man re-
sents our condescenslon. He does not
want that or your gold; he wants
recognition of his manhood. The shop
girl wants you to honor her woman
which she is toiling and suffering.
You can do much to make that task
easier and create an atmosphere in
which she and you can move alike as
members of the same divine society

IS THE BLACK MAN DISAPPEARING?
BY Prof. Giddings of Coiunbi!

The real negro question in the South is that
the white people do not believe that it would
be advantageous for civilization and American
institutions to permit the general amalgama-
ton of the white and negro blood, and they
cherish this view with intense bitterness and
prejudice on account Of past traditions and
exclude the negro from social equality with
white men. It is not merely political tradi-

The attitude of women, shown in the various

of women engaged in similar work anywhere. One no

Party's Vote Cut Down in Cities Where
Labor Element Is Strong.
Philadelphia, Nov. 4.-Pennsylvania
has gone Republican by majority Of
100000, the figures being as follows:
Taft, 100000; Bryan, 100000. In
1904 Roosevelt carried the state by
5O5,519, and two years ago Stuart, Re-
publican, was elected governor by 49,

Altoona and other cities have given
Mr.. Taft pluralities, but Scranton,
Wilkesbarre and towns in which the
SO called labor" vote is strong have
gone Democratic.
The election in Pennsylvania turned
almost entirely on national issues, the
highest state officer voted for being a
judge OF the superior court. For that
Office William d. Porter, Republican,
has been elected by majority of 50.-
600 over Webster Grim, Democrat.
The vote in the country districts
