DANGEROUS PRECEDENT.

Under the decision of the dis
triet court Of appeals Of the Dis
trict of Columbia constitutions
may guarantee and legislatures
confer whatever privileges they
please, it rests with the courts to
say whether or not they may be
enjoyed.
The power to suspend the en-
joyment of any privilege, how
ever, sacredly guaranteed, is
placed in their hands.
We are willing to agree with
the political platform builder that
the courts should be the <*bul-
warks Of our liberties,' and we
believe that they should be so
regulated as to protect all in their
enjoyment, the worker in equal
measure with every other, but
that it was ever intended to give
them the power to deprive us of
our constitutional rights and to
punish us for their exercise we
cannot conceive, and that we are
thereby building up a dangerous
judicial system We have already
had sufficient proof. 49,.
Labor has suffered much in
the hampering of its work by de-
cisions Of the courts which it was
honestly believed deprived us Of
rights which we should be per-
mitted to enjoy. I
That we should not be allowed
to state truthfully the attitude Of
an employer toward those who
work for him, while he can make
any statement he pleases, however
untruthful, seems to us neither
just nor fair.
We have long cried out against
the indiscriminate use Of the in
junction that has made such a
condition possible, and whose
only use in this respect has been
as a weapon with which the en-
ployer might club the worker into
submission, but so far without
any appreciable measure of relief.
We had hoped in the contempt
case to have the rights. of free
speech and a free press firmly es-
tablished and clearly defined, but
our highest court evidently con-
sidered this phase not pertinent
to it's decision. 4.
But that these and other rights
under the constitution will be SO
established and defined we feel is
as certain as the permanency Of
this republic, and the trad -union-
lists Of this country must exert
all their energy to this end or
they will find themselves limited
to the right Of ''the pursuit Of
happiness and nothing left with
which to pursue it I. :,...

Answer: Yes, the following is
first class: One gallon blossoms,
one gallon hot water; let stand
"a hours, then drain through a
cloth; to this juice add the fol-
lowing: three pounds of granu-
lated sugar, the juice Of two lem
ons and an orange. Dissolve one
cake Of yeast foam in warm
water; add to the above and mix
well: Let this mixture stand in
an open jar until thoroughly fer
mented. Then bottle, and keep
corked. MI /.

While on the subject of home
made wines, you might have oc-
casion to use the following recipe
for making rhubarb wine: /
To each gallon of juice add one
gallon of soft water in which
seven pounds of brown sugar
have been dissolved. Fill the key
or barrel with this proportion,
leaving the bung out. Keep it
filled with sweetened water as it
works over until clear, then bung
down or bottle as you desire.

In the building trades in other

good reason for such .discrimina-
ton. - -
! On the contrary, they should
have been paid more than any
other, because they are under a

THE NATURAL GAS PROBLEM.

The West Virginia bar calls atten-
ton to the decision of the federal
circuit court OF appeals in the Okla
homa gas case. Oklahoma. like West
Virginia. has a gas problem. Okla
homa is a great gas producing state.
Enormous quantities OF gas are being
pumped outside OF it's borders. The
Oklahoma Legislature sought to pre-
vent natural gas from being piped
out OF the state, by prohibiting the
laying OF gas mains across public
highways. for use in interstate com,
merce in gas. The federalN court
holds that the Oklahoma statute is
unconstitutional. as it is a burden
upon interstate commerce.
No good lawyer In West Virginia
has held that this state could pre-
vent the pumping OF natural gas out
side of the state As much as We
may desire to retain our natural gas.
the fact is, it is being taken away
and will be taken away. The es-
sential thing to consider. is how to
obtain some compensation for this
depletion and devastation OF our re-
sources. The only practical method.
so far suggested has been the i'm
position OF a production tax on all
natural gas produced in the state. re-
gardless OF its ultimate destination.
In view of The fact that a great deal
more than - per cent Of gas pro-
duced in the state eventually goes
outside OF the state. and is consumed
by residents OF other states. il is safe
TO assume that the heaviest burden
OF production tax would fan upon
non-residents OF West Virginia. II
has been suggested that a license
to pump gas. the license being pro
portioned to the pressure maintained
In the mains might be imposed by
the state. To certain degree this
would reach the gas taken from the
state and not affect the gas consumed
In the state. However. at best. this
would only be a poor makeshlft. and
in no sense take the place OF a pro-
duction tax on gas.
The Oklahoma decision is OF inter.
est IL for no other purpose than 10

be avoided. II we would make effect.

line Democrat OF the highest char.
acter. Delegate Brannon and Senator
Bland represent the best types of
Democracy in West Virginia. These
men endorse a primary election law
proposition. These men are in line
with such Democrats as John T. Nc.
Graw. Senator Fisher and Senator
Phillips.
The line OF cleavage between the
Watson-Chilton Democracy and the
rest of the Democrats oil the state is
becoming sharp and clear. The
organs of the Watson Chiffon com
bine are loud in the denunciation
of the extra session. Watson-Chilton
money has already been used to cor
rupt fountains OF Democratic iniiu-
ence. and deceive the public as to
the purpose of the extra session. Il
is clear, however. that a very large
and very active element OF the
democracy of West Virginia will not
follow such leadership.
There is no reason why a primary
election law should be in any sense
a partisan measure. No law can be
made for Republicans that will not
apply equally TO Democrats. Any law
must be for the whole people OF the
state. The only people who seek to
prevent the passage of primary eles-
ton legislation are the men who seek
to obtain power and to exert influ-
ence by illegal and corrupt means.
The check book and the five dollar
bill will not have the weight in a
party primary that is protected by
the courts and sanctifled by law. that
they have under other circumstances.
Herein is the secret of the Watson.
Chiffon opposition TO primary election
legislation. Fortunately that oppos.-
ton is not shared and countenanced
by the decent Democracy OF West
Virginia.
