The Gompers Decision.

An appeal to the United States Supreme
Court from the District Court of Appeals
in the case Of Gompers, Mitchell and Nor
rison, who have been adjudged guilty OF
contempt in persisting in the promulga-
ton of a boycott against the Bucks
Stove and Range Company, is altogether
probable, and is desirable for the settle
menr by the highest court Of the ques-
tions involved. While the defendants
In this case urge that they are stand
ing for the principle Of free speech
as guaranteed by the Constitution. on the
other hand the courts are striving to
maintain the equally important principle
of judicial prestige and law effectiveness.
It will be for the Supreme Court Of the
United States, II It accepts jurisdiction in
the contemplated appeal, to determine
which principle is really in jeopardy and
to rule according to its judgment upon
the issue involved.
1t is important that the final decision
In this case should be rendered by a
court from which there Is no possible
appeal, and that it should be in plain
terms to set forth clearly and unmis-
takably the relative rights Of courts and
the public and Of individuals.

The English Suffragist Campaign.

Defenders Of the so-called militant suf-
frage campaign In England. which has
been characterized by arrests for the dis
turbance OF meetings. the throwing of
missiles and the invasion Of the parlia-
mentary precincts. declare that this lie
the only way the English people can be
aroused to the importance OF the crusade.
II Is averred that rOwdy methods have
been adopted by opponents OF the suf-

of their claims. and that the government
has shown a marked partisanship in fall

TO the suffragists as to their antagonists.
IT Is further averred that there is. In
fact. a majority In parliament favorable
to the extension of the suffrage to
women, but that the government will not
permit the question to be brought to a
vote.

No Fifth Term for johnson.

Tom Johnson went to the polls once too
often. Four times mayor of Cleveland,
he stood for fifth election. and was yes.
terday defeated by a plurality OF about
1000. The result was not unexpected.
Johnson has made a good mayor of the
lake city, has been honest and efficient
as an administrator and has insisted upon
the same qualities i'm those whom he has
called to serve him. His misfortune was
that he undertook the reform of the
street railway conditions on a basis that
did not appeal strongly to the public.
His three-cent-fare crusade gave him a
following among the poorer classes, but
1t involved a complicated fight which seri-
ously affected other interests. The people
of Cleveland appear to have become tired
of the incessant turmoil over the traction
question. The controversy over this mat
ter has become so involved that it is diff
ficult for one not living in Cleveland to
understand it in all it's ramifcations.
Even the Cleveland voters have been con-
fused, until finally they seem to have
dropped back to a straight party align
ment, with the result of denying Johnson
a fifth term and placing the city govern
ment in the hands of republican officials
This defeat does not necessarily mean
Johnson's disappearance from the polit-
ical field. He is yet a young man as poll
ticians 60. vigorous and resourceful, with
a clean record and a loyal personal fol-
lowing. He has served in Congress and
knows the national game. He is now a
veteran municipal administrator He has
offered for the governorship of the state
and met defeat. But no one can easily
conceive Tom Johnson settling down to
the humdrum career of money making.
even under the incentive Of recent loss
Of fortune. He could not keep out of a
political fight If chained down.

Isles Of Safety.

The Isle of safety idea is being de-
veloped in Washington as wheel and foot
traffic grows denser In the streets. With
the rapid upbuilding of the capital there
have come TO be street intersections
where pedestrians are exposed to great
danger and where cars and horse and
motor driven vehicles are particularly
liable to collision. Maj. Sylvester's traf-
fic squad will materially ease this situa-
ton. but the isles OF safety under con-
temptation by the Commissioners would
be OF service to the users OF the streets
The intersection OF New York avenue
and 1+th street. for example. at rush
hours is dangerous place. Pedestrians
have to be alert to protect themselves
from disaster, and drivers have to exert
great caution to avoid collision.
New York avenue has several other
points of congestion. notably at eth and

position shall not be set aside. 1t has
