Discrimination Shown Against Ne

OF q Fa1lufe 10 ray DeDt.
Washington, Jan. 3.-The fight of
the Federal Government to have the
labor contract" law of Alabama de-
clared unconstitutional was crowned
with success to-day when the Su-
preme Court of the United States
held the law invalid. The Govern
dreds of negroes to state akin to

Alabama had upheld the constitu-
tionality of the law.
Applicants Race No Factor.
Justice Hughes, who announced the
opinion of the court, said that the
court at the outset dismissed the
point that the applicant was black
man, because there was nothing in
the statute that disclosed a discrimi-
nation against negroes. He said the
case had been considered in the same
light as If it had originated in New
York or Idaho.
The court held that the law as it
stands was the same as if it made
breach of contract a misdemeanor
without saying any thing about in
tent to defraud. To argue other
wise was characterized by Justice
Hughes as making distinction
where there was no difference. Fur
thermore, it was held that a State
could not reduce a person to invol-
untary servitude by the indirect
method of making his failure to pay
debt a crime

''The size of the opposition sweep is
but an index of the reactionary wave
that will put back the Republican
party in power in 1912. Realizing
the error of 1910, the voters will
give verdict reversing that biunder

lies is a useful one-that of alarm
ing the country with their free trade
fallacies and other government de-

Gus two years domination of the

President Taft is getting on the con-

countrymen. There was a time when
he was not so highly regarded out
in the far Western section, but to-
day the tide is running strong In his
favor and the people are just begin
niEg to realize what a very capable
and trustworthy man is occupying
the White House. He does nothing
for display and employs no meretri-
cious agencies to win popular ap-
plause. In short, he is making the
ideal executive that his friends al
ways predicted he would make and
I have but little doubt of his re-
nomination and reelection in 1912"

Is the better for he people because OF
what Tom l.. Johnson did In fighting

As mayor OF small town he became

ure and his personality was therefore
a continuous propaganda OF the
Georgian doctrine which won him
from the purposes OF mere million

The Detroit times. [volume] (Detroit, Mich.) 1903-1920, 1911-03-27

As the paper goes TO press the dis
patches say that Tom L. Johnson, OF
Cleveland, is dying. His was lie
we'll lived. He achieved success In
material way and then there came 10
him q spiritual CLEAN from the great
work OF Henry George. ThenceIorth
all this mans abilities were devoted
TO the people. His sole EFFORT was 10
the end OF untaxing labor, OF making
men economically free. To that effort
he brought q vast energy, great deal
of good humor and much genuine
brotherly love. He bore patiently mis-
representation of his motives and all
kinds OF opprobrium. His patience
was as fine as his courage. When his
fortune was swept away after his four
terms as mayor of Cleveland. In which
he had fought for his idea OF mu-
nicipally owned three-cent-fare street
railway, he accepted his misfortune
with excellent grace. and did not quit.
He was too Ear ahead or his time and
his town In that one thing, but on
foundations which he laid, his fellow
townsmen OF the future will surely
build to the realization OF his his
dream. II he failed in his street rail-
way project he did not fail In other
things. He made Cleveland a model
city and by this do not mean a puri-
tanic city. He made It a beautiful
city. He made 1t. as TO taxation, a
juster city than any other in the land.
He made Fairgrounds for the little
children. He planned a police sys-
tenn that made the police protectors OF
people and property rather than perse-
cutors of the unfortunate and makers
OF criminals. He stood for humane
penology and for equality Of oppor-
tunity. He fought all forms Of privi-
lege as the best means OF minimizing
poverty and facilitating progress.
When his private business went to
smash through his devotion to public
affairs, the public came to see the
cruelty Of the accusation that his re-
forming activities were selfishly de-
signed. When he was finally beaten
for mayor OF Cleveland then truly did
Clevelanders begin to see him In his
true proportions. and they loved him
with a wealth OF feeling which more
than repaid him in the last few years
for all his losses. He was the most
conspicuous American whose career
was actuated and motived by the Cos
pei Of Henry George, the noblest ex-
ample, after George himself, OF the
spiritual force inbering In what APP
pears at the first blush to be mater
ialistic philosophy. The country
laughed Ironically when Johnson, the
steel magnate, voted In congress
against the tariff on steel. but It
ceased TO laugh when later 1t was
shown that the same altruism OF prin-
ciple governed all his actions. He gave
bis fortune and his life to the cause
OF freedom and equality. The law
OF privilege proved too strong a mesh
for him wholly TO break through, but
though he did not gain what he sought

COST OF DRINK.

The great bard spoke OF sermons In
stones. Kansas has found sermons
in grocery bills. Wichita, Few years
ago. was the Gibraltar OF the saloon
In Kansas. Its saloons were running
years after the Kansas saloon law
went into effect Deals were made at
state conventions and nominations Sc
cured through promises or open ga
looms for Wichita. The protest was
long coming, but II arrived--and, like
many other reform movements Of the
day, arrived with momentum. A "dry"
mayor was elected. Heavy penalties
for violation OF the law were exacted.
The saloons died hard, but the last
vestige of them finally passed. Note
the result. Before the saloons closed.
the bank clearings OF Wichita were
81, 100000 weekly. In three years they
had increased to something over three
million dollars. The city, instead OF
going backward, as freely predicted,
has steadily grown. A few years ago
there were barely ten per cent Of the
population OF Wichita opposed to the
saloon. Probably there are not now
very large minority of the popula-
ton who would favor It. One news
paper changed In a single day from
prosaloon To antisaloon. In six weeks
its circulation had increased six thou
sand copies. In another Kansas COM
munity a merchant declares that his
collections Increased forty per cent
shortly after prohibition went into eff
feet. Workmen were paying weekly
for insurance. Before the saloons
closed forty per cent OF these insured
workmen were In arrears Within q
short time after the enforcement Of
the law these arrearages had disap-
peared, and many were paying In ad-
vance.-Collier's.
