A Surrender.

Governor Wilson of Kentucky says:
"Organize Liberty Leagues and kill
the nocturnal INVADERS and we are
tempted to say, Amen: but however
may be it hardly pays to turn state
over to mob rule. 1t almost seems as
though Governor Wilson in making
that suggestion confesses that the
state of Kentucky is unable to cope
with the outlaws. He promises
prompt pardon to every man who re-
sorts to arms to protect his home.
There was no necessity for that, as
every man has perfect right in law
to protect his life and his home.
Feuds and guerilla warfare have
played altogether. too important part
in the lives of Kentucky citizens ever
since the state has become known to
white men. Violent deaths have been
so common that it has made Kentucky
and Kentucky feuds by-word. No
doubt the night riders believe that
they are taking the only course left
to them in combating the tyrannical
program Of their all-powerful oppon-
ents. and as is usual in such cases
the weaker suffer 1t is always some
struggling individual who suffers for
his loyalty to the richer and more
powerful man higher up. The night
rider believes he is fighting for the
privilege of selling his tobacco where
he wishes The man who is being at
tackled by night riders feels the same
In any event whatever the situation
may be there is no excuse for the night
riders who take the law into their own
hands, and there is less excuse for the
Governor of the State to deliver the
peace of the state into the hands of
their as lawleSs, though more cir
cumspect. opponents.

Two Poor Women.

An Illinois State Circuit Court Judge
has decided that the ten hour law of
that State is unconstitutional. That
may explain why it passed the last ILL
nois legislature so easily. The decision
was procured through a suit brought
by two women employees of paper
box manufacturer, who stated that if
restricted to a ten hour day they could
not earn enough to support those de-
pendent upon them. The judge held
that the law restricted the freedom OF
contract
Isn't it an inspiring spectacle? Two
women who cannot earn enough to
support those dependent upon them by
working ten hours each secular day
somehow found money enough to en-
ploy attorneys and to defray the other
expenses of carrying a law dispute to
the second highest court in Illinois.
They ought never to be obliged to work
again for they have performed a ser
vice which is sure to bring millions in
illegitimate profits into the Golfers of
the sweat shop. The modern Shylocks
can well afford to share their il-gotten
gains on these two women until they
pass from this vale of tears. A 1.-THE
of the profits which will be wrung from
overworked women and children in the
extra hours permitted through the de-
cision. would enable these two women
and all their dependents to live in lux
ury until the end of their days.
Public sentiment is unequivocally and
positively pledged to shorter working
day for those mothers of the land who
are forced to work for hire in order to
provide themselves and their depend
ents with the necessities of life. The
public sentiment which demands this
shorter working day will not be dis
couraged by this adverse decision. An
other year or two of illegitimate profit
is granted to the grasping employer
but it is only a respite. The people are at
last aroused to the necessity of pro-
tecting future generations and will
brook no defeat Illinois will finally
find the present law constitutional or
will enact another at the next session
of the Legislature. Meanwhile it will
not do to lavish too much sympathy
upon the two women who cannot earn
enough to support their dependents by
working a ten hour day.
