For Contempt.

the Buck Stove & Range company
case. Chief Justice Shepard d~issented
from the opinion Of the court on con.

The court held that the fund amental
Issue was whether the executive agen.
cies OF the government should be
obeyed or defed. The mere fact that
the defendants we're the officers of or.
gained labor in America, said the
court. lent nc Importance to the
cause and added to the gravity OF the
situation, but it should not be per.
mttted to influence the result.
III an organization of citizens,
however large" the court held, "may
disobey the mandate of the court, the
same reasoning would render them
subject to individual defiance. Both
are subject to the law and neither is
above it. If q citizen, though he may
honestly believe his rights have been
invaded, may elect when and to
what extent he may obey the man

ments of the law as interpreted by the
court, instead of pursuing the order
ly course of appeal, not only the
courts but government itself would
become powerless and society would
be reduced to q state of anarchy"
The action of the supreme court of
the District of Columbia in sentence
ing Gompers, Mitchell and Morrison
to IL, 9 and 6 months Imprisonment
in jail, respectively, was the result of
the failure of these three del lend ants to
obey the order of the court directing
them to desist from placing the Buck
Stove & Range company at St. Louis
on their "unfair list" in the prosecu-
ton of their boycott against the cor.
poration. An appeal to the supreme
court will likely follow.

PRESIDENTIAL PLEASURES.

When President Taft started on his
l3, 000.mile tour of the country, he was
understood to be making q pleasure
trip, but certain features of his jour.
ney must be wearisome and distasteful
to our popular chief magistrate. Some
of the reception ceremonies are calcu-
lated to give him that tired feeling"
according to q writer in Leslie's
Weekly, who gives this description of
the usual course of procedure:
Mr.. Taft will be doubly fortunate
If he pulls through his entire itinerary
OF iutroductions. The Introductory
speech is the nightmare, as we'll as the
rearing, bucking, stamping, kicking,
daylight horse, of the presidential
trip. The Introductory speech is ss
full of trouble 10 the who.shall-ride.
with.the-president question. Gener-
ally, to settle all the local squabbles
over the matter, it is arranged that
every prominent man in town shall
have q hand in 1t. So the meeting ia
opened by the chairman of the steenth
ward republican committee, who makes
q speech about our glo.reeus land,
our free institooshuns and our noble,
patriotic, high-minded, lovable, popu'
lar and distinguished guest, the presi'
dent of the United States.
Perhaps you delude yourself into
thinking that the president is going
to speak now. Wrong! The chair

club introduces the chairman OF the
county republican committee, who
thanks the great audience for its
