Monopoly on
The Atmosphere.

1t seems to be no longer apropos of
present day conditions to say free as
air" Apparently if the so-caIled wire
less telegraphy trust materializes, it
will have control of that commodity
1t is given out that body Of Chi
cago detectives have been employed to
capture Independent wireless telegraph
operators, whose messages interfere
with the business of the wireless trust
From the viewpoint of the trust, a
nan who sets up a little wireless ap-
Faratus on his own roof and under
tkes to send private messages through
phe air, is a criminal and as soon as
taught will be severely dealt with.
The trust evidently looks on this as
ltrespassing on the property Of others.
II seems to believe the air belongs to
the wireless trust because the trust is
engaged in what is termed "big bust
ness and big business must not be in
terfered with by citizens who want
free use Of the atmosphere.
1t only remains to watch the Chicago
sieuths put everybody out of the wire
less telegraph business except the
trust

The Gornpers
Contempt Case.

The mandate of the court of appeals
in the contempt case of Samuel Com
pers, John Mitchell and Frank Nor
rison, has been stayed to permit attor-
neys TO appeal the case to the supreme
court OF the United States This will
not be the first time this case has
been before the highest tribunal in the
land and probably will not be the last.
The alleged contempt grew out of
what is known as the Bucks stove and
range case. The manufacturers of the
Bucks stoves employed non-union Ia
Dor. The defendants were alleged to
have been responsible for the publica-
ton in a trade paper of this firm as
being unfair" An Injunction was
granted restraining the defendants
from publishing the stove company as
unfair" on the grounds that it was
essentially boycotting the firm. In de-
fiance of this Injunction the name of
49, firm was kept on the unfair" list
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1913-05-30

and the defendants were ordered Go
jail. The courts have been playing
battle door and shuttle cock with the
case ever since.
1t is not the intention to comment on
the merits OF the original case, but
merely to recite some interesting facts.
The stove company long ago ascer-
tanned that 1t was being bankrupted by
being called unfair" recognized union
labor and employed only such. The
ban was removed and It is said the
stove company has since made a for
tune, probably largely through the ad-
vertising given it by the months of
continual dragging Of the Gompers
contempt case.
All Of the public, except Gompers
and his associates. lost interest in the
case long ago and it is cited merely
as an amusing instance of the laws
delay and the sanctity of the courts.

Favors Recall
Of Judges.

The Pennsylvania house of represen-
tatives has gone on record as favoring
the principle of the recall of corrupt
and unfit judges. A resolution was
adopted providing for an amendment
to the constitution that will make the
recall apply to every elective public Of
ficer in the commonwealth, including
all the judges of the several courts
whether holding office by election or
appointment.
Pennsylvania has suffered long and
grievously on account Of its judiciary.
1t has been asserted time and again
that two or three great corporations
have named practically all the judges
in that state for years. The people
submitted to that condition of affairs
with much patience for a long time
and at last they are waking up. The
Archbold investigation, no doubt, had
a very salutary effect on the Pennsyl-
vania political situation
The time is coming when no officer
viii have any divine right to rule and
all the public servants will be made
amenable to the public will.

FRIDAY, MAY 80, 1918.
Public Opinion
In Japan.

The best authenticated news from
Japan leads to the conclusion that the
government is not so badly perturbed
over the California situation, but that
the turmoil. comes from a certain class
of citizens who keep7the agitation alive
more from a desire to vex the admin
istration than from any patriotic i'm
pulse.
1t Is we'll known that the masses of
Japanese people were greatly dissatis-
fed with the terms of peace imposed
by the treaty at the conclusion of the
Jap Russian war. As a matter of fact
Japan was then at the end of her re-
sources and, although she had worsted
Russia in every encounter, her means
were exhausted while Russia had
scarcely begun to draw on her re-
sources. Since that time and more
particularly since the death of the old
emperor, the authority of the govern
ment has steadily diminished in re-
sisting the growing influence of public
opinion.
1t is probable the emperor of Japan
has more trouble on his hands at home
than abroad.

POSTMASTER AT
MEMPHIS INDICTED
Lee w. Dutro, Who Has Held Office for
Twelve Years, Charged with Solicit
ing Campaign Funds.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Memphis, Tenn, May 2S.-Lee w.
Dutro, postmaster at Memphis for the
past twelve years, today was indicted
by the federal grand jury on the charge
Of soliciting campaign funds in 1910.
II is stated similar charges against
Newell Sanders of Chattanooga, for
mer United States senator, and H. O..
True, leader of the republicans in west
Tennessee, were ignored.
The specific charge against Postmas-
ter Dutro is that he violated postal
code No. Is, when he obtained a SO
contribution from w. F. Roberts, clerk
in the postoffice, on October 1, 1910.
The charges against Postmaster Du-
tro were first made last year, but at
that time no action was taken by the
grand jury. Similar charges were also
made against government officials at
Nashville and Knoxville, but the men
indicted were acquitted when placed
on trial.
Friction between factions Of the re-
publican party in this state is said to
be at the bottom of the charges.
