JUDICIAL MIND RUNS, OF
COURSE, TO INJUNCTI0NS

JUDICIAL MIND RUNS, OF
COURSE, TO 1NJUNCTIoNs
It is almost as difficult to break
away from habit as it is from a
line Of reasoning. In no profess
sion is this quite so true as in that
of the law. It has added difficult
ties if the legal practitioner has
occupied the bench. And, if he
has established a reputation as an
authority on any given 'Epoint Of
law,'' or has stretched it, then
there is no hope Of his ever chang
ing his opinion, no matter how err
roneous or unjust his original
view.
This seems to be the case with
President Taft. In the federal
courts Judge Taft long ago paved
the way and built the foundation
for the abuse and perversion Of
the injunction writ. He issued
this species of injunction while
Judge, he defended it during his
presidential campaign and in his
inaugural address, in his speeches
at Worcester, Mass, and Passaic,
N. j., this year, and again in his
message to the present session Of
congress. In this message under
the caption injunction Bill" the
president says:
II wish to renew my urgent recon-
mendation made in my last annual
message in favor of the passage OF
a law which shall regulate the issu-
ing of injunctions in equity without
notice in accordance with the best
practice now in vogue in the courts
of the United States. I regard this of
especial Importance, first because it
has been promised, and, second, be-
cause it will deprive those who now
complain of certain alleged abuses in
the improper issuing of injunctions
without notice of any real ground for
further amendment and will take
away all semblance Of support for the
extremely radical legislation they
propose, which will be most pernici-
Gus if adopted, will sap the founda-
lions Of judicial power and legalize
that cruel social instrument, the Sec
ondary boycott
The Moon bill is the one Pres
ident Taft recommends for enact
ment. It is known as the admin
istration bill and provides for
notice where no "irreparable in
jury" is alleged. Of course any
one knows that every petition for
an injunction alleges ''irreparable
injury
But attention is called to the
reasons given by the president for
the passage of the Moon bill. He
says it is in accordance with the
best practice now in vogue in the
courts Of the United States.'' Is
it? Let us see. "Notice' was
given in the injunction issued by
Justice Gould against the officers
of the American Federation of
Labor and under which three of
them have jail sentences hanging
over them Of twelve, nine and six
months. Did the notice that a
great wrong was about to be in
ficted minimize the wrong or the
injury?
The fact of the matter is that
the bill the enactment of which
the president urges would not re-
move one wrong or rectify one jot
of the injunction abuse and per-
version. It's enactment would
simply have this one effect, it
would legalize and give statutory
authority for the issuance of these
injunctions. It would put on the
statute books in the form of a law
what is now simply judicial inva.

CUTS WAGES TO MAKE =.
EMPLOYEES IT'S PARTNERS

CUIS WAGES 10 MAKE :.
employees IT'S PARTNERS
That eminent gang of philan-
thropists known as the Ameri-
can Tobacco company has,
through the partnership flimflam,
started in to do it's employees good.
It is a company that has always
been noted for kindness. Many
small dealers have been relieved
of the necessity, or, rather, of the
possibility, Of continuing in bust
ness. Many raisers Of tobacco
have been relieved of the burden
of continuing to own the land on
which the tobacco is raised. Many
manufacturers have been retired,
unpensioned and often penniless,
and given leisure in which to con-
template the beauties of superior
industrial organization.
From the first the clerks of the
company have shared in these
charitable operations. Idleness is
a sin; the company has driven
them to an extent that places
their industry among the higher
virtues. That they might not be
tempted and lapse, the company
has charitably placed guards over
them, though the men call these
guardian angels by the shorter
and uglier and truer name of
spies.
Now the company is going to
''share' with it's clerks.
So that it may not appear like
rank paternalism the company
evens things up, and to encourage
the men to share in the profits and
to overcome any lurking bashful-
ness they may have, the company
begins by "sharing'' in the wages
Of the men.
Plainly stated, the company has
slashed wages, slashed right to the
bone, slashed in all directions, and
before there will be any f'shar-
ing by the men in the profits of
the company they must first make
up what has been taken away
from them. This will be a long
and painful process, and many a
clerk will be discharged before
he reaches the point where he can
share in the ''earnings'' Of the
trust. Those who will share, even
to limited extent, will first have
to increase greatly the earnings
Of the trust.
The whole scheme, from be-
ginning to end, is intended to
speed the men up, keep them in a
state Of more abject submission
and increase profits. AS profits
always go to the employer this
is a point with which the men
have absolutely nothing to do.

The idea of people importing
blooded stock is good one, for
good stock is the principal founda-
ton for successful farming. The
writer took trip through some
Of the best farming lands IN sIlli-

one Of the most picturesque farm
ing regionsfou the globe, and at
every angle was the fact forcibly
demonstrated TO us that it pays to
handle the best grado Of horses
cattle, sheep and poultry
The Norman aud the English
Shire breeds Of horses seem to be
the most popular as the country is
generally level q rolling, and makes
those horses desirable for draught
purposes, but there are smaller
horses hat seem &C. ba popular also
for n dual purpose animal.
OF cattle, the Hereford and Dur
ham stock are the most popular
beef cattle, while others arc reared
and seem to ray also. Dairy farm
ing is one Of the principal industries
which calls for the jersey and Hol-
stein types This is fno country

The poultry products consumed
here come from Indiana, MicigaE

Of farming could be consumed in

of recruiting for the army is at
times little moLotonous, but Mt the
same time is one of the most con-
genial vacations that one can take
up, for you have ample opportunity
for self-advancement, and also to
study different conditions of differ
ent classes Of people. OF course
you are mingling with every class
from the elite to the "demi-monde"
but as a general rule, all law-abid-
ing citizens are in sympathy with
the army, and in that way makes it
more pleasant in this particular
branch Of the service.
We struck this place in Dec m

get busy to learn TIE ethics of re-
crulting under the 'crack" Recruit

a few exceptions, and have won a
permanent position. This, of
course, being detached from any
regiment, does not bring into play
all the discipline of the military
post as to calls, formations and etc
but at the same time the decipline
is enough to make man more self
respecting. and obedient to the or
ders of his superiors, which is a
valuable asset in civil life as well as
the military.
We have at present II men on orr

in saying that the greater percent
