State declared the statute valid. but the
supreme Court of the United Suites, by
vote Of FIVE to four, declared il void

provision that no one shall be depriv-

Elections on this sort of decisions. But
a lot of folks pretend to see revolution

leads one irresistibly to the conclusion
that such folks are either ignorant or
critical OF, perhaps, an admixture of
both.
Nothing could be more senseless than
the idea that in this Republic, a gov
eminent theoretically free, any public
servant is above criticism. 1t is not
only the right of the people to criticise
the judges, but it is just as much their
duty to do so as it is to speak their
mind concerning public servants in the
Legislatures, in Congress, or in Ad-
Offices. Talk otherwise is

MORSE MUST ASK
TAFT FOR RELEASE
Conditional Pardon of Bank
er Unlikely, Unless PriS-
oner Himself Requests.

Reports which have reached Washing
ton to the effect that Charles w Morse.
the New York banker, who is serving a
prison term in the Atlanta penitentiary.
will seek a conditional pardon at the
hands of President Taft, are discredited
by the fact that Morse himself has
made no plea whatever for Executive
clemenCy.
1t has been learned upon inquiry at
the Depar tlnent Of Justice that while
Mrs. MoTsc has been active Ina behalf of
her husbands release from prison, and
has been aided by powerful friends,
Morse himself has not petitioned the
President for a pardon. 1t is stated in
this connection, too. that unless the
banker enters a plea for clemency no
petitions vii even be considered.
Conditional pardOns are very rare.
There is no record within the last tweil-
ty-hve years OF the issuance Of a condl-
tional pardon by a President, except "a
the case Of the late President Cleveland,
who cOnditionally released three prison
ers in the Heatley cases, arising in the
Eastern district OF Tennessee. These
prisoners were required TO report by let
ter 20 the District Attorney annually for
I'VE years, ana respond 10 any process
where their presence as witnesses might
be desired
Two kinds Of conditional pardons are
authorized by law. The first imposes a
condition precedent to the release, IN
which case something Is required Of the
prisoner before he is allowed as free
dom, such as restitution, evidences Of
i'll health, or d creditable prison record
The second kind Of conditional par
don contemplates some performance
after the release has been granted. such
as was eXacted OF the prisoners in the
Heatley case.

GAYNOR FOR RIGHT TO
CRITICISE THU COURTS.

1t makes a lot of difference whose OK
is gored. Because Colonel Roosevelt.
in the course Of this campaign, has seen
fit to criticise the courts, especially the
Supreme Court, his critics have risen
up and attacked him bitterly. They
have gone to all sorts of lengths in
assailing him for expressing his plain
views about the Supreme Court and
courts in general; they have in enect
accused him of subvertizg our institu-
tons and trying to weaken the foun-
datiOns Of the Government
One of the things made most Of Ia
the New York campaign by the press
opposed to Roosevelt and bent on pre-
venting the election of Stimson in
order TO punish Roosevelt is that the
former President has been guilty of
finding fault with the courts and the
judges. But it appears Mayor William
J. Gaynor OF New York, himself a
man long on the bench, upholds the
right of the public to criticise the
courts. Some one has dug up an ad-
dress of Mayor Gaynor before the
Peoples Forum in New Rochelle on
April ?, 1908, in which he talked plainly
about the courts and said in dwelling
on the tendency Of the courts to AFRO
gate authority they did not have:
The judges should therefore be sub
jected to criticism, like the other
branches Of the Government, and they
should themselves carefully weigh and
consider their conduct especially at this
time, when a majority Of the think
ing people of the country believe that
they have exceeded their powers in
some recent decisions.
Judge Gaynor then proceeded to
criticise sharply the decision of the
Supreme Court of the United States
and did it in no uncertain terms in the
celebrated New York bake shop case,
in which that court held unconstitu-
tional a statute of the State of New
York regulating the work of bakers
and limiting their labor to ten hours
a day. The court held this law violat-
ed the constitutional provision that
no one shall be deprived of his liberty
without due process Of law.
1t is not disputed that in the inter
est of the health of the workers and
of the public health the business ought
to be regulated. But the Supreme
Court found the Constitution stood in
the way. Judge Gaynor said:
Bake ovens in our cities are in IN
derground vaults. which are hot and
unhealthy. The shortness of life among
bakers is marked. They are subject
to pulmonary diseases and have rheums
and running eyes. 1t is important that

fered all those trials that most women

after discharging her last cook she
figured up her household expenses

month TO run her kitchen for a family
Of five This did not include the SAL
airy Of the cook, which was SIS

office and employed the most intelIi-
gent woman in waiting. This woman
also wanted SIS q month, which the
lady agreed to give her. She further
agreed that If she would run the
kitchen on $50 a month without d.
minishing the quality Of the table,
she would pay her $50, and every dol
lar she saved under s65 per month
she would give her One-third OF it.

POOR CONSOLIDATED IN
CREASES DIVIDENDS.

The poor, abused Consolidated Gas
Company of New York. which shrieked
for mercy and predicted immediate
bankruptcy when the United States
Supreme Court made it reduce the
price of gas to so cents and suuee "a
the water out of its stock, has changed
its dividend basis from 1 to 6 per cent
per annum on its capital stock OF
sIOOOOO.OOO.
In other words, the Consolidated Gas
Company has made so much money on
so-cent gas that it expects to be able
to pay dividends of 100000 a year
instead of 100000 a year.
A meeting of the board OF directors
Of the Consolidated was held in New
York on Thursday and a quarterly
dividend of IL per cent was declared.
Since the passage of the new gas law
IN 1905 the company has paid quarter
ly dividends of l per cent, or annual
dividends of 4 per cent. The increase
Of Y of per cent in the quarterly
dividend, therefore, means an increase
Of 2 per cent in the annual dividend.
It was not officially stated whether
IN per cent will be the standard
quarterly dividend in the future, but
In New York financial circles it is said
it viii. The company's reports to the
public utilities commission show its
net earnings have increased since the
price of gas was reduced, and an in
crease in the dividend rate has been
anticipated for some time.
1t must not be inferred that the
Consolidated has admitted it is max
ing more money on SO-cent gas, or
that, having made such an admission.
it is ready TO concede the reduction in
price was justified and has been a
good thing for the consumer and for
the company; no such sentiment is
displayed by the Consolidated. Presi-
dent Cortelyou himself explains the in
creased dividend on an entirely diff
ferent theory.
You see, the company's fuel appli-
ance business has had a remarkable
growth, the demand for its residual
products has been heavier as a con-
sequence of general industrial activity,
6 per cent bonds amounting to S20,-
100000 have been converted into 6 per
cent stock, the city has paid some Of
the interest on its lighting bills, and
economies have been effected in the
cost of operation.
A man with half an eye could see
that it is slch things as these and not
the lower price of gas, by any means,
that have made possible bigger divi-
dends!
