The Gompers Case.

The announcement that the Bucks
Stove company will not further prose
cute Samuel Gompers, John Mitchell
and Frank Morrison as the executive
officials of the National Federation of
Labor, who had been given jail SEN
fences for violation Of court injunc-
ton, is wholesome insofar as it indi-
Gates peace and better spirit between
large aggregation Of capital and or
ganized labor, but it does not follow
that the truce between the warning
parties justifies the dismissal OF the
cases by the government,
1t should be remembered that what
these men were sentenced for was the
writing and publication, by pen and
public speech, of an appeal to union
workers after the court had granted ar
injunction restraining such appeals
The court held them to be in contempt
and imposed the sentences, and the
labor leaders appealed their case. Be
tween the time OF issuing the order ant
the appeal to the higher court, the
original order was held to be void, but
as the issue went directly to the right
of free press and free speech, Gompers
Morrison and Mitchell proceeded with
their case to the supreme court.
II is therefore a matter no longer
for the Bucks Stove company to settle
but for the highest tribunal in tn,
laud to decide. 1t is for it to sa!
whether a lower court may restrain
the organic right of free speech by al
injunction, and the public. as we'll al
the parties to this particular contro
versy, should desire to see the issu,
determined by the court of last resort
for If the question is not settled nov
1t may have to be fought out again
Should the case go against the lsbo
leaders, we would be ready TO ask tn
president to grant full pardon.

Not a Good Analogy.

The oregon plan applies 10 the election
OF United States senators precisely the
same policy that has been already APP
piled 20 the election Of president. The
electors no longer elect the president as
the constitution contemplates. The pres
ident Is elected by plurality vote OF the
people OF the several states. The consu-
tuition has borne up exceilently under the
strain and 20 II will, we think, under the
oregon plan.--World-H Herald
This is the favorite analogy Of advo-
Gates Of the so-called Oregon plan Of
choosing United states senators, but it
is not a good analogy. The so-called
Oregon plan proposes to make each
candidate for the legislature pledge
himself to cast his vote for United
States senator for the candidate who
receives the highest preference vote
throughout the state in the election,
irrespective of the preference OF his
own constituents. BY the Oregon plan
member Of the legislature might be
pledged to vote for a candidate for
United States senator who did not get
a single vote of preference in the leg
islative district which he is supposed
to represent.
The existing method of choosing the
president IL entirely different because
presidential electors vote for the candi-
date who is the choice of those who
have voted for them. The Oregon
plan would require a member of the
legislature elected as a republican to
vote for q democrat for United States
senator or vice versa, whereas a presi-
Dental elector chosen as a republican
who would cast his vote for a demo-
crat Tor president would call down on
himself all the snathemas that would
rightly fall to q loathsome traitor. In
the last presidential election a large
majority of the people of the United
States expressed their preference for
William H. Taft for president, and yet
every presidential elector elected as a
democrat cast his ballot in the cleo
toral college for William ]. Bryan
The fallacy of the pretended analogy
is still more strikingly illustrated
when an election in a state results in
a split of the presidential ticket. This
happened two years ago in Maryland
where two of the republican electors
and six OF the democrats won out, the
republicans receiving larger votes than
any of the democrats. II the analogy
were good all of Maryland's eight votes
should have been cast for Taft, when
in fact the six democratic electors
voted for Bryan, as they should have
done. In some states presidential
electors used to be chosen by congress
sional districts, and there is nothine
to prevent a recurrence to this method
in which event a democratic electoi
chosen by one district would right!
and properly cast his vote for the dem
ocratic candidate for president ever
though every other district and tn,
whole state had gone overwhelming,
republican.
We suggest that the advocates of tn,
Oregon plan put their pretended an
alogy with the electoral college in COLI
storage.

Conventions that Count.

The Ad mems convention, which has
been holding it's session in Omaha, is
the kind of a convention a busy, bust
ling city likes to entertain.
The AID men have shown themselves
to be good fellows They enter into
the spirit of the occasion. They bring
with them the real vim and vigor and
make their presence known and felt.
They do not hide their light under a
bushel nor permit anyone within ear
shot to remain in ignorance that an
AID mems convention is in full eruption
in the vicinity. They show themselves
appreciative of attentions paid them by
our citizens.
This is the sort of a convention that
counts. When the AID men go home
they will talk about the Omaha meet
ing FOR weeks and months, and We will
take a chance that they will say more
good things than bad things about us.
On dispensing to their homes the Ad
men will be like swarm of Omaha
boosters flying in all directions, and
will help Omaha materially to future
convention successes.

Thousands Of children loosed from school
Scarce know what they can do
To take the place OF rote and rule;
50, friend, It's up to you
TO ponder well what. active boys.
And spright1y girls can find
To furnish reereative joys
For body, soul and mind,
To find for their activities
Some good and proper bent
And guide their vagrant liberties
Through valleys Of content
Invest five in business school,
or manual, or art,
Where pen or plane or craving tool
May stve boy start
In Joyous labors Of the day
And show through symbols dim,
That alwRys-busy or at play
Somebody cares for him.
A cooking school or sewing class,
For one whose days are dull
May make for some deserving lass
Vacation beautiful.
So friend, claim not immunity
From service, for It's true
Each chald in the community
Belongs in part to you!

Searching for Truth I'm Alaska.

T
There is no more mysterious region upon
the political map than Alaska. Everybody
there appears to be at odds with everybody
else, and each faction accuses the other of
grievous crimlnality. The president has
apparently despaired OF reconciling the con-
Trajectory representations, and is sending
out the attorney general and the secretary
Of commerce and labor upon an exploring
expedition to bring back truthful report.
Alaska Is under peculiar territorial or
ganisation. and the administration has
been anxious for some new legislation
which appears to be well conceived, though
naturally 1t is not equally proved by con-
flicting interests. 1t is hoped that the pres
ent ennissaries viii be able TO get at the

Menace of the Muckraker.

Vice President Fairbanks hit the
bulls eye In his speech to the ad men
when he declared that THE malador-
GUS muckraker has become an object Of
contempt" and that there is perhaps
nothing more reprehensible than the
loose impeachment of the motives of
the chief executive, the downright mis-
representation of his acts, distortion OF
his record by the suppression OF the
truth or by pure falsehood."
The muckraker, as we have come to
term the newspaper and magazine
fakir, is not only becoming an object
of contempt, but public menace. The
power for evil is tremendous, Just as
the possibilities for good of decent
Journalism are great. The muckraker
strikes at regulations which 1t has
taken years to build up and no matter
how palpably false and absurd, he
how palpably false and absurd, he
finds thousands OF people ready to be-
lieve what he says and the best OF men
are not immune.
Nothing could be worse In the ma
tional life than the deliberate, system
attic and persistent distortion of truth
to destroy confidepce in public men
honored with high of1cial position
The wanton effort to impeach. the in.
tegrity Of the head OF the nation is. al
Mr.. Fairbanks says, blow at the In
stitution of the government itself.
No man with faith in the integrity
OF his nation and people can long be
deceived by the subtle delusion thai
this is honest criticism, and In thai
fact lies the hope that undertaking II
approaching its end. Nobody with the
best interest of the country at hear

OF honest criticism, but there is a vast
difference between honest criticism
and this species of bushwhacking.
