The Liberty of Contract

Judge Tuthill of Chicago held the other day that the Illinois law which forbids the employment of women for more than ten hours in a day is in valid. He based his decision on the ground that the law is an invasion of the common-law right of contract In holding as he did, Judge Tuthill con formed to a decision previously ren- dered along the same line by former Judge Parker of New York.
 While lawyers may uphold the soundness of these judicial opinions. the layman finds the decisions un- sound from the standpoint of experi- ence and common sense. It is, of course, sound doctrine in the abstract to say that the liberty of the citizen in selling his labor ought not to be abridged-that he, and not the law. should say how many hours he shall contract to work. But Judge Tuthill, and those who hold with him. seem to ignore the important fact that in these days We often find that the the oretical liberty of the individual in the matter of deciding where he shall work and how many hours a day he shall work, has been seriously abridged all ready by industrial conditions It is farcical to say that any woman in Hi nois, for example. prefers to labor more than ten hours a day. and that she needs the intervention of the courts to protect her in her desire to work longer hours. The cold fact is that every woman that works longer than ten hours in any store or factory does so because she is compelled there to by the stern necessity of keeping the wolf from the door,
 Social and industrial conditions are becoming so complex that it has be- come necessary for society to exercise some authority in interfering with the theoretical liberty of the individual for the very purpose of protecting the individual from conditions which he alone cannot contend with
 The supreme court of the United States has held that under certain cir cumstances the state may prescribe the hours of labor. Thus the eight hour law of Utah, in behalf of smelter workers, we believe, was held valid on the ground that the state has the right to protect the health of it's citizens IL seems remarkable, therefore. that Judge Tuthill could not uphold the Illinois law on this ground also; for he would be a bold man, indeed, who could say that the health of the moth CTS of the land is not injured by ex- cessive hours in factories.

Colonel Bryan's Welcome

Coming to Arizona on a purely com mercial mission-to deliver lectures. at so much per lecture-Col Bryan has had an opportunity to measure. to some extent, his personal popularity here with the masses. He has found that the people of Arizona like him however much they may disagree with some of his political doctrines
 We have no doubt that he meets the same cordiality everywhere. It is a curious fact that the people of the United States have formed the habit of rejecting his political leadership, while approving him more and more personally In other words, his per sonal popularity has grown in inverse proportion to his political power His personal charm, the purity of his life, his unquestionable honesty of purpose and his patriotism as an American, ap- peal to his countrymen regardless of their political convictions It would be difficult to find a citizen anywhere who is so hide bound in his partisan ship as not to confess a pride in Bryan as an American citizen. Doctor Bryan has prescribed for us as people many nostrums which we have thrown out of the window; We have learned to draw sharp line between Bryan, the fellow.
 And nobody grudges him the golden stream which flows to him from the people who crowd to hear his lectures people who listen to his voice as they would listen to the music of the pipes O Pan.'

THE HURRICANES PATH

New orleans, La, Seept. 23.-At least 10 people lost their lives in the tropical hurricane that swept the gulf coast on Monday according to conser- vative estimates made tonight.
 Those engaged in the work of rescue and repair found the task colossal. Thousands of men worked today try ing to get telegraph, telephone and railroad communication into shape, but with indifferent success. Many miles of track and scores of bridges were washed out and the wires are down in all directions.

 However this may be, the general public is benefited by the use of such standard medicines as Lydia E..
