Breaking Solid South

once again do the more bitterly
partisan Republican newspapers pro-
claim the "Solid South" is to be
broken and the more ven,uresome in
the Isaiah profession freely predict
Mississippi. Louisiana. Virginia. Ala
bama, Georgia and South Carolina
will be Republican.
Naturally these wise men affirm
the race question is all that gives to
the Democracy the South.
To be candid, the elimination of
that question will not aid or injure
the Republican party in many of the
states. The probability OF Missis.

a Republican presidential nominee
is on parity with the probability of
Pennsylvania becoming reliably DEM

Whether in ignorance of long estab-
lished and generally familiar politico-
legal principles, or with deliberate
intent to assist IN surreptitiously un-
dermining those principles by judi

injunction did not prohibit freedom of

Except incidentally! 1t was only in

q conspiracy to injure the good will
and publish without obstruction or die
tation, subject only to responsibility
for its abuse, and then to a jury and
not to a judge, cannot be even Incl
dentally disregarded by judges, with
cut judicial usurpation. Unless this
right is secure against incidental, as
we'll as direct invasion, it is not Sc
cure at all.
If injunctions forbidding freedom OF
speech or press may be issued as an
incident to injunctions for protecting
the value Of the good will of a bust
ress, or other property rights, there
is no limit beyond which they may
not go in destroying freedom of speech
and of press. The whole field Of pros
ccutions for libel would thereby be
brought within the jurisdiction Of in
junction judges, and our press be-
comes like that of Russia.
Thoughtful citizens will not be be-
trayed, we trust, into misapprehend-

any appeal to class prejudices based
upon the fact that the case originated
in labor union methods which they
dislike
Whatever it may have been in the
beginning, the Gompers-Mitcheli-Mor

insist that Carl Marx, the founder of

PROTECTED" LABOR.
Senator LaFolIette Punctures Moss
Grown Old Theory.

If there We're anything needed to
clinch the argument for tariff COM
mission of experts, it is the contro-
versy between Andrew Carnegie, the
bondholder, and Judge Gary, the chair
man of the steel corporation.
Gary gave the tariff committee care
fully prepared figures of the cost of
production of pig iron and steel in
this country and in Europe, and Car.
negie laughed his figures to scorn.
What we want is to take Gary at
his word and open up his books to
experts SO that Congress and the
people can decide between Gary and
Carnegie.
Gary pictures the steel corporation
as a big, fond brother, throwing its
loving arms about it's weak COMPETE
tors. who would be ruined by reduc-
ton of the tariff. Neither Gary nor
Carnegie calls attention to the condi
lions of labor in their powerful com
bination, for whose protection against
the pauper labor of Europe the tariff
is supported. First under Carnegie
and afterwards under Gary, trade
unionism was smashed, and then the
hours were heightened, Sunday work
| was extended, and speeding up to the
limit of exertion was reduced to a
system. until men are working twelve
hours day, seven days week and
twenty-four hours at a stretch every

lection, it might be better to admit

poration worked it's thousands of en-
ployees under the humane conditions
of it's British competitors, it might
possibly need a tariff to protect it
against the increased cost. ~
A tariff commission would enlighten
us on this important side of the ques-
ton, and might suggest some way by
which protection to American labor
would cease to be mockery in the
steel business, and the blessings of
the tariff would be passed along from

PL AIN WORDS AND TRUE

justification may be passed upon. Our
fundamental law authorizes no other
abuse of freedom of speech or of the
press. Punishment by means of an
injunction, and through proceedings
for contempt-such as the proceedings
against Gompers and mis- associates
and at a hearing in which the only
question considered is the mere fact
of publication, and at which there is
no right of trial by jury, is not au.
thorized by our system of law.
Around that point no notices OF
legal Interpretation or construction
iegtimateiy cluster. Acute lawyers
and astute judges are not needed to
decide it. 1t is a broad political as
distinguished from a technical legal
question. Every one who knows his
American history knows that a judge
made prohibition Of freedom of
speech or press can issue only in de-
f;ance Of fundamental American law.
Not even the legislature, not even
congress, can make such prohibition.
And may judges, raised above the con
