ing. Such a process should issue only
in rare cases where the threatened
change of the status quo would intiict
irreparable injury if time were taken
to give notice and summary hearing
The unlawful injuries usual in indus
trial disputes such as l have described
does not become formidable except ar
ter sufficient time to give the derend-
ants notice and hearing. l do not mean
to saw that there may not be cases
even of industrial disputes where re-
straining order might properly be IS
sued without notice, but generally 1
think it is otherwise.
In some state courts and in fewer
federal courts the practice of issuing
a temporary restraining order without
notice. merely to preserve the status
quo, on the theory that it won't hurt
anybody, has been too common. Many
of us recall that the practice has been
pursued in other than Industrial dls-
putes, as for instance in corporate ana
stock controversies like those over the
Erie railroad, in which stay order
without notice was regarded as step
of great advantage to the one against
whom it was secured.
Indeed, the chances of doing inJust-
ice on an ex parte application are
much increased over those where
hearing is granted, and there may be
circumstances under which 1t may al
feet the defendant to his detriment.
In the case of a lawful strike, the
sending of a formidable document re-
straining a number of defendants from
doing a great many different things
Al fh9V
threatening to do, often discourages
men always reluctant to go into a
strike from continuing what Is their
lawful right.
This has made the laboring man feel
that an injustice is done in the issuing
of a writ without notice. l conceive
that in the treatment of this question
it is the duty of the citizen and the
legislature to view the subjects from
the standpoint of the man who be-
lieves himself to be unjustly treated
as well as from that Of the community
Suggests Remedy
I have suggested the remedy Of re-
turning in such cases to the original
practice under the old statute of the
United States and the rules IN equity
adopted by the supreme court, when
did not permit the issuing or an IN
junction without notice.
In this respect the Republican con-
vention has adopted another remedy
that without going so far promises 10
be efficacious in securing proper consid-
Grafton in such cases by courts, by
formulating into a legislative measure
the best possible practice.
Under this recommendation a stature
NAV be framed which shall define with
considerable particularly and empha-
size the exceptional character OF the
cases from which the restraining orders
NAV issue without notice, and which
shall also provide that when they are
issued they shall cease to be operative
beyond a short period during which
time notices shall be served and
hearing had, unless the defendant de-
sires a postponement of the nearing.
By this provision the injustice which
has sometimes occurred by which
preliminary order of widest application
has been issued without notice and the
hearing of the motion for the injunc-
ton has been fixed weeks and months
after it's date could not occur.
In the Philippines the experiment OF
a. national assembly has justified 1t
self both as an assistance in the gov
ernment of the islands, as an educa-
ton in the practice of self government
to the people of the islands. We have
established a government with etfec-
tive and honest executive departments
and a clean and fearless administra-
ton Of Justice: we have created and
are maintaining a. comprehensive
school system which is educating the
youth of the islands in English and N
Industrial branches; We have con-
structed great government public
works. roads and harbors; we have in
duced the private construction Of 500
miles of railroad; we have policed the
,a4z to 10 w
and order is better now than it has
ever been in their history.
Dense Ignorance of Natives
It is quite unlikely that the people
because of the dense ignorance of 80
per cent will be ready for complete
self government and independence be-
for two generations have passed, but
the policy of increasing partial self
government step by step as the peo-
pie shall show themselves fit for II
should be continued.
The proposition Of the Democratic
platform is to turn over the islands as
soon as a stable government is estab'
lished. This mas been eStabllhed. The
proposal then is in effect to turn then
over at once. Such action will leaC
to ultimate chaos ir the islands anC
the progress among the ignorant
masses in education and better living
will stop.
We are engaged in the Philippines ir
a great missionary work that does oul
nation honor and is certain to promote
in a most effective way the infiuencf
of Christian civilization. 1t is cow
ardly to lay ,iown the burden until oul
purpose is achieved.
Many unfortunate circumstances be.
yond human control have delayed the
coming of business prosperity to thu
islands. Much may be done in thi.
regard by increasing the trade be.
tween the islands and the United
States under tariff laws permitting re.
ciprocal free trade in the respective
products of the two countries, will

bacco imported in the United State:

Islands Sugar interests
The admission of $4,000 tons Of
sugar from the Philippines in a for
eign importation of 100000 tons will
have no effect whatever upon the do
mestic sugar interests of the United
States, and yet such an importation
from the Philippines not likely to be-
reached in ten years will bring about
the normal state of prosperity in those
islands in reference to sugar culture.
The same thing is true of a similar
limitation on the importation of to.
bacco. 1t is not well for the Philip.
pines to develop the sugar industry t

islands shall be absorbed in it, be.
