END OF CONTEMPT CASE.
Gompers, Mitchell and Morrison Freed
by Supreme Court.

The contempt proceedings against
Samuel Gompers. president of the
American Federation of Labor; John
Mitchell, vice president, and Frank
Morrison. secretary, which have
dragged on in various courts since
1907, were ended when the supreme
court of the United States reversed
the lower courts and dismissed the
case. This ends the suit for all time
and means that none of the three
labor men, who were sentenced by
Justice Daniel Thew Wright of the
supreme court of the District of Co
lumbia, will undergo punishment for
the alleged violation of the local
courts injunction against acts of con
spiracy against the Bucks Stove and
Range company.
The New York World, discussing the
decision editorially, says:
In its final decision of the celebrated
contempt case of Gompers. Mitchell
ard Morrison the supreme court OF
the United States did not meet the
Issue. The question has been in the
courts for six years. Three years ago
this month it was before the supreme
court of the United States, which then
reversed the lower court on the ground
that the proceedings. if instituted at
all, should have been civil and not
criminal The lower court renewed its
decree without modification. except as
the penalties were reduced, and the
supreme court now dismisses the
matter on the ground that prosecu.

HUSBANDS IN WiLLESDEN.
They Mind the Babies At Home While
the Wives Go Out to Work.


Willesden is perfect paradise for a
certain type of husband There is no
need for him to 60 out to work; his
wife will see to that. All he need do
is stay al home and mind the baby
He has a job for life and practically
nothing to do.
The Gilbertian arrangement is due
to the peculiar industrial conditions of
Willesden, where there are many laun
dries and factories and female labor
is much in demand. Although it is
cheaper than male labor would be at
the same class of work, the wages are
good, considering that only five days a
week are worked in, the laundries the
women not being re,Suired on Mondays
AS much as from 20 to 80 shillings a
week can be earned, FL being com
mon wage, even for girls.
Consequently the women rule the in
dustrial world Of Willesden. The posi-
tions of man and wife are reversed.
There is no need for the man to go to
work. Not only would he be unsuta
blC AOi t1lC JpDf Jul IAiC isADSA oAA1 AhS
wages would not suit him.
Therefore a working girl, when she
has saved sufficient money and thinks
of marrying looks around to find an
eligible man, whom it would be her
duty to keep in after life. He must
know how to bathe, dress and feed a
baby; how to amuse it and what to do
when it has convulsions other than
rolling it on the floor or slapping it on
the back If he can do all this the girl
proposes, is accepted df she is strong
enough to work. and the knot is tied
When the children grow up they are
packed off to the laundries or to one of
the biscuit, incandescent mantle or ce
dar pencil factories that abound in the
neighborhood and their wages go to
swell the family income. AS for ia
ther he continues his congenial task
of warming the baby's milk and per
forming other little duties. = London

LaNina BRIDGE Eirnrs.

The most interesting and dangerous
looking stage in the construction Of a
suspension bridge is the building of
the floor, says Popular Mechanics
Magazine In this work the builders
have nothing to rest their work on
and must build out each way from
the towers, securing the floor piece by
piece to the heavy steel bars suspend
ed from the main cables far above
The work is done with derricks that
are equipped with booms long enough
to reach out ahead of the finished
structure and hold the girders sus-
pended while they are being riveted in
place. AS each section of the floor is
completed the derricks are moved
ahead and the construction of the
next section is begun.

PLEA FOR CHILDREN.

In an address TO women at
Bristol, Pa, Senator Vardaman
made fervent plea for children.
The Mississippi statesman. in
dramatic oratory. appealed to
the women as mothers to pre-
vent their children from growing
into men of the narrow, selfish
type. Does every child who
comes into the world in your
community have an equal chance
with every other child to become
healthy. law abiding citizen.
or are there institutions in your
midst that take the children and
dwarf their lives for the sake of
adding gold to the fortune Of
men who are already oyercon-
scious of their wealth? The
greatness of your municipality
does not lie In its factories. Your
town can only become great as
the boys and girls get chance
to grow into robust manhood
and womanhood. That you may
give them this chance, You must
get rid of the institutions which
, make them machines for profit"

LIFE TENURE FOR JUDGES.
Why the British System Is impossible
In the United States.

In the United States.
American lawyers attending the Bar
association meeting at Montreal found
themselves in a land where judges are
appointed for life and everybody is
satisfied. Ex-President Taft spoke for
the life tenure system for the United
States. This is Taft's legitimate atti
tude, for it is the antipodes to the re-
call either of judges or their decisions
Yet no we'll read lawyer in Canada or
from the United States could have
been unaware of the fact that makes
impossible here the system which
works so we'll in Canada and Great
Britain. Their judges have no power
over legislation. They do not pass on
the constitutionality OF laws. They
do not. as our judges do, govern their
country.
Colonial snd British imperial parlia
ments are supreme. They may pass
any sort of law they please, and the
courts must accept the law as passed.
Their courts have no political power.
Our courts possess the power of say
ing the last word in government.
Their judges may well be appointed
for life, and if ours were merely arbi-
ters of controversies between individ-
! uals we might safely follow the same
system. But as long as our courts sit
above the legislatures and executives
elected by the people to the extent that
they are independent of the popular
will they constitute an irresponsible,
even though learned and respectable,
oligarchy. If ex-President Taft de
sires the adoption and extension of
the excellent British system here LET

from the South and other parts Of the
country who arc believed to have a
sure thing in November next. thereby
letting the nervous boys go home for

The President has been told that
there arc unquestionably a number Of
Republicans who feel quite nervous
over the outlook, and that 1t ought to
be possible for Representatives Mann

by which the fellows with close dis
trtctS may be allowed to go home and
those who do not feel uneasy he al
