The province Of the newspaper
Is worldwide aud We zee no spec.
ialreason for complaining that
the Washington Herald and 9TH

casional pass at the. tirmanlent.
Or, to be more pointed, we see no
improperly in our present de-
termination to mildly chastise,
with the Herald, one OF the crea-
lures ofspace-namely the moon.
Astronomical pr6gnOticators
have q huncll that the moon is

marvel at the conservatism and

ION. OF years. In fact, we do not
feel inclined to chastise in tones
upduly harsh the perfectly natu-
raj and ever-to-be expected cra-
wing displayed in her latest
whim.

that the moon will bear quietly
the pangs incident upon pursu'
ance of the same old stale q n d
boring promenade.
We really think it is up to the
moon to stand pat There's no
use upsetting the general order
OF things lust to appease a mild

WASHINGTON LETTER.
Regular Correspondents.

Regular Corresp ondence. !
The most interesting event
that has occurred since the ad-
jOurnmsnt Of Congress has been
the conviction Of labor leaders
for contempt of an injunction]
sentence. President Gompers was
sentenced toserve tweiYemonths:
vice president Mitchell nine
months, and Secretary Morri-
son six months. The sentence was
imposed by Judge Wrisht who
was appointed Judge Of the Su-
preme Court 0f the District cf
Columbia by President Roose-
yelt on the recommendation Of
Senotor Foraker about three
years ago. Judge Wright's decis-
ion was one Of unusual length.
occupying seventh typewriter
pages and required over tw o
hours in the delivery. It's IAN
guage was remarkable inits very
strong and positive arraignment
Of what he. e.called the "vulgar and
arrogant attitude Of the delend-
ants and their defiance OF t h Q
court in which their cause had
been pending" The decision Of
the court is discussed everywhere
and it will doubtless have q de-.
cided effect upou the future rela.
|tions Of organized labor. Many
telegrams and letters are pour
ing In upon the President from
labor leaders throughout th .
country who appear to think
that he can interfere premptori-
ly With the action OF the court.
Such interference on the part Of
the executive is, OF course, out OF
the question. He can, if he de-
sires to do so, exercise his par
Edoning power, but not until the
sentence has matured and t b e
condemned are behind the bars.
Inasmuch as Gompers, Mitchell
land Morrison have taken an ap-
peal and will probably carry
their case to the Supreme Court
OF the United States, President
Roosevelt will have no opportu-
nifty to act on the case, but it
may come before President Taft
OH q petition fnr pardon. It eall-
not be predicted, Of course, what
Judge TAFT will DO after he be-
fcomes President Taft, but those
who have heen looking up the dc
sisions OF Judge Taft while on
the United States Bench, have
|found that he sentenced O labor
leader to jail for contempt and
that the man served his sentence
II Mrssrs. Gompers. Mitchell and
Morrison carry out their express
ed determination to refuse to ask
Ior pardon, it is believed that

entity and in q line with the de-
cision OF Judge Taft.
While it il pretty we'll under.
stood that Congress will donotf
ing more during the short two
months remaining OF this ses
sion, than pass the appropria
tion bills, and that the tarif
question will be put off until th'
Especial session for it's considera
tion is convened, it is neverthe
less a fact that this question il
so important that other ques
tionA are minified in comparison
