When Ii Hung Chang, was the
Chinese statesman in this country,
was sasked his opinion as to our
code of morals. In his reply he
said; Your code of morals is de-
fective: it lays too much stress on
charity and too little on justice. +"
The masses of this country rebel
at charity and demand justice in
the distribution of the wealth they
create by their unpaid labor. The
trusts and large manufacturing con-
Germs which make large profits on
labor should divide the profit il
nothing more. 1t is reported that
the Steel Trust has divided il
dividends over 5000, 900, 900 in pro-
fits while paying starvation wages
to employees. Libraries may be al
right, but they do not feed ane

COnflSCdtiOn Unconstitutional.

The water power act, passed by
our last legislature, which Gov.
McGovern claims the very best
that ever was, has been declared
unconstitutional by the supreme
court. The bill was backed in the
legislature by the power Of admin
istration and the insurgents, assist
ed by few democrats. 1t was de-
clared unconstitutional because it
took property right from individu-
ais without recompenclng them.
But what could have been expected
from insurgents, who think it per
fectly legitimate to rob people by
unjust and discriminating laws-to
tax people outrageously to main
tain a propaganda and an army of
tax eaters.
The action to test the consti-
tutionality OF the act was brought
in the suit of Rudolph and George
Koenig of WATERFOWL, the owners
of water power of considerable
value, which under the provisions
of the law, they could not control,
the same being taken from them by
the state. The bill, it will be re-
membered, was pushed by the
leaders of the insurgents and GER
tain democrats, all of whom, are un-
safe and dangerous legislators, CD
and the act was signed by the gov
ernor, who should have informed
himself of its unconstitutional
character before he gave it his en-
dorsement by which it was to be-
come law of the state.

benehciaries of prohibitive tariff.
The writer is neither an insurgent
nor standpatter, and can commend
most hearty the action of the Wis
consin members who voted for the
passage Of the bill, which he GER
tainly would have done, had he
been a member. There has been
too much protection given to steal
(?) for the past IS years and it is
high time that it receives a severe
jolt.

has been made by politicians who
hope to be benefited by the cleo
ton of party tickets. The best

eliminated in all local elections city

being: Is the candidate worthy and
