Once more the old ghost of the last
battle ship The Maine arises in
Havana harbor. The work of clear

practically completed and an examina-

40 feet aft of the bow last week

a portion Of the outer hull. under the
magazines, which it is claimed shows
unmistakable evidence of having been
blown inward from external pressure
and explosion. This in a measure
makes certain the fact that the Maine
was blown up from the outside but
there will always remain more or
less doubt on that point. upon viii h

the bulk has been completely ex-
amined and valuable parts removed,
it will be taken to deep water and
sunk forever.

Elk Gov. Davidson says there is
nothing to the talk that he may be-
come candidate for congress in this
district. He says: am sick and
Disguised with the whole business.
It was bad enough before, but now a
man who runs as a candidate for any
Office is branded as a scoundrel right
at the start, and he has to prove that
he is not during the campaign. =
The former governor may be over
stating the matter little, but there
is considerable truth in his statement
after all.

STEAL $4,000 IN TOWELS
Passengers on the Southern Pacific
Railway Also Take Linen
From Boats.

San Francisco, Cal.-Twenty-one
thousand dollars worth of towels
were lost" by the Southern Pacific
railroad last year and for that reason
women who ride on its trains and
boats will be compelled to furnish
their own towels hereafter. The tow
els were stolen from the Mushrooms
on the trains and boats, as many as
hundred towels disappearing on one
run. Even roller towels were taken,
though the company padlocked the
racks to keep them from being re.
moved. The towel thieves simply cut
the towels and slipped them of. In
dividual towels disappeared so fast
that they were replaced with rollers
after being used but short time.

"a SIGNIFICANT DECISION"

It is significant of the changing
spirit of the times ano the public
temper that the supreme court of
Wisconsin has upheld by unanimous
vote workingmen's compensation
act which in it's essentials is quite
identical with the workingmen's COM
pensation act that by unanimous
opinion was pronounced by the court
of appeals of the state of New York
to be in conflict both with the con-
stitution of the state aud that of the
nation.
Here is a characteristic example of
the manner in which the Fourth street
yelper misinforms its readers in order
to "get by" with a dose of progress
sive'' cant.
Had the WiscoIin act been in all
its essentials identical with the New
York law it would not have had one
chance Ia hundred before the Wis
consin supreme court.
Had the Wisconsin law been COM
pulsory. as was the New York, law
with regard TO certain kinds of IN
herently dangerous employments. the
chances are that it would have been
bowled over in spite of the changing
spirit of the times and the public
temper
Ths New York court of appeals
recognized this spirit and this temper
quite as much as the Wisconsin court.
In it's opinion it approved the humane
purpose of the law. condemned the
existing laws regulating the relations
of employer and employed and offered
no objection to those sections Of the
compensation act which were optional
in character like the Wisconsin law.
The opinion condemned the COM
pulsory feature alone as being un-
constitutional, and recommended that
the end which had been sought by un-
constitutional legislation could be
gained through constitutional amend
ment
If the WISCONSIN workmen' g COM
pensation law has stood the constitu-
tional test it has done go in the very
first place. not because the judges of
the state supreme court hold radical
~ different attitude toward this class
of industrial legislation, but because
the trainers of the Wisconsin law had
profted by the experience OF New
York and other states, and framed the
statute with such study, care, under
standing and conservatism that it was
kept from collision with the constitu-
ton
That is the real lesson of the law s
approval by the supreme court and a
lesson which other states engaged in
the framing of compensation acts
should take to heart.
The Free Press believes ia COM
pulsory workmen' S compensation and
it IS far from convinced of its un-
constitutionality But 50 long as
there is reason to believe that pre-
ponderant judicial opinion inclines to
hold the compulsory feature opposed
to the fundamental acts of state and
nation, let US be content with care
fully framed optional measures, such
as have been approved by the courts
in Massachusetts and Wisconsin, until
such time as the question il further
clarified by constitutional amendment
and the federal courts. Mil waukee

As TO TRUST BUSTING.

President Taft's administration has
been making great boasts of the wav
1t is smashing trusts. They have been
doing a good deal of prosecution, 1t is
true, but it mostly inures to the
pockets of the lawyers, and no trust
mOgul is punished. The latest is
where a lot of the big fellows-nine
millionaire packers-who have been
held under bonds for some time
awaiting trial, went before the u. S,
marshal, under escort of their bonds
men who delivered them to him and
demanded release from the bonds.
Then the millionaires applied to Judge
hOhisaat for habeas corpus, to release
them from arrest, and he release ed
them. The Courts! There it is again!
1t is the courts that play the devil
with the just administration of law,
and corrupts and demora!iz society
and public by giving advantages to
wrong doors. Let us have a little
referendum" Lancaster Teller.
Yes! or we might have a .twee-
hickey or perhaps a ''dumdoodIe, "
The purpose Of a referendum being
to submit to vote of the people the
question whether Or not an act Of
legislation shall become law,
that would not completely cover such
a case as this.
The facts of the matter referred to
above are these;
Ten representatives of the big
Chicago packing houses were under
Indictment for vic alton of the
Sherman anti trust law, charged
with illegally controlling the prices
of meat and the restraint of trade
Nine Of them were temporarily in
custody. The tenth, Ogden Armour,
has been in Europe but is now home
or on his way there.
The action of the bondsmen, in
surrendering the indicted packers and
asking for writ of habeas colpus
merely means the taking of steps
necessary to carry the fight before the
United States Supreme court without
the cost or delay of trial as it
would be certain to be carried there
eventually, anyway.
The packers through their attorneys
claim the Sherman law to be uncon.
stitutional and say that it attempts to
establish as crime acts that are not
cri ninal but civil in their nature.
The ruse OF the packers III asking
for writ of habeas corpus took the
government attorneys unaware and
cuts off from them much of the result
of their long investigation into the
meat packing industry Instead of a
premise to be supported by evidence
carefully brought together, the fight
for time at least must be conducted
purely as an argument of law, thus
becoming at present not a question of
first issue as to the guilt or innocence
OF the packers, but plain attack on
the validity of the Sherman law.
There is little virtue in railing at
the courts for delays that necessarily
occur. The magnitude of attempts
to drive the big trusts from entrench-
ments they occupy can scarcely be
estimated. The Taft administration
has been waging a persistent and
relentless war against the big monop.
ol1es throughout his term and has
more to show in results during the
two and Une-half years of it that have
elapsed than the Roosevelt admin stra-
ton showed in seven.
