Il occurs to me II there is any logic
IN the contention OF class legislation
in this case, then the construction that
this act refers 70 employees that is en-
gagged directly in the matter. would
give the act a narrower construction
then that to say that the words en-
ployer and employees includes the
whole Of these particular classes and
for that reason l think that construc
ticn should be given that would IL
possible sustain the constitutionality
OF this act and use the words 'em-
ployes and employer as including all
persons of that particular class. De-
clining to hold this act unconstitution-
al the statute providing that an agree

One rod wide and 40 long e. e., one
furrow long, deep built UP a quarter
of an acre. The furlong. or four poles

OF course these lengths somewhat

the insurgents IL one of the results.
But during the hot weather, the
silly season III predominant and most
anything goes that a smart cores
pendent can invent or allow some
one to stuff him with. The only
thing certain up To date Is that the
victorious insurgents have forced
the minds of the republican leaders
into the belief that something must
be done in the way of change of
policy from the old rat.
Both Beverly and Oyster Bay
statesmen show strong indications
that they are scared at the evident
trend away from republieanism.
Both seem willing to make scape-
goat OF Cannon, but he won't stay

Longworth, after long interview
with President Taft. tries to bind the
sins of omission and commission up
on that old goat Cannon, which he
would hardly have done without a
tip from the president and the APP

Is possible that Beverly and Oyster
