of laws, it is charged that the work
ers have been unable to secure legis
lation to protect them against griey-
Gus wrongs except after exhausting
struggles against overwhelming odds
and against insidious influences.
Second, it is charged that after
wholesome and necessary laws are
passed, they are in large part multi
fled by the courts upon technicalities
of a character which would not be
held to invalidate legislation favorable
to the Interests of manufacturers, mer-
chants, bankers, and other property
owners, or thrown out on the broad
ground of unconstitutionality through
strained or illogical construction of
constitution provisions.
Third that i'm the administration of
law, both common and statute, there
is discrimination by the courts against
the poor and i'm favor of the wealthy
and powerful, and that this discrimi-
nation arises not only from the eco
nomis disabilities of the poor, but also
out of the actual bias on the part of
the judges in favor of the wealthy and
influential.
Fourth, that courts have not only
neglected or refused to protect work
ers in the rights guaranteed by the
constitution of the United States, and
Of the several states, but that sec
tons of the constitution framed pri.
marily to protect human rights have
been perverted to protect property
rights only, and to deprive workers of
the protection of rights secured to
them by statutes.
Fifth, that the ordinary legal ma
chinery provides no adequate means
whereby laborers and other poor men
can secure redress for wrongs inflict-
ed upon them through the non-pay-
ment of wages through over-charges
Iat company stores, through exorbi-
tant hospital AMI other fees, fines and
deductions, through fraud on the part
Of private employment offices, loan
offices and instalment houses, and
through the grating of foremen and
superintendent. The losses to wage
.earners from these sources are stated
Ito amount each year to millions of
dollars and to work untold hardship
on a class of men who can i'll afford
to lose even a penny of their hard
won earnings.

committees that the legislature has
given painful birth to- If Socialism
or any other ism" is wrong, Mr.
Davis has nothing to fear from intel

If it is right, Mr.. Davis has nothing
to fear, either, The pitful attempt
of certain elements in the last legis-
lature to kill the monster of Social
ism" by threatening university appro-
priations, was almost ludicrous and
it left a bad stencil behind it. To-
ward Mr. Davis personally ! hold no

of Washington do object to his hasty
assumption and his implied threat
that the legislature, of which he was
most able part of the ponderous
machinery facetiously termed the
steam roller" will enact a compul-
sorry drill law.
But then, Mr. Davis might not be
a member of the 1917 legislature.

BERLIN (Via London), June IA.
The Sunday morning newspapers
OF Berlin generally profess inability
TO understand the motives prompting
William Jennings Bryan to retire
from the post OF secretary OF state.
The Morgen Post says:
THE former secretary seems TO
have lees confidence than we in the
honest desire of the American gov
eminent to arrive at a peaceful COM
promise with us. Mr.. Bryan is con-
WINGED that President Wilson and his
government will finally appeal to
force. We are not disposed to be-
lieve this. but will await events"

The BOersen Zeltung says
''Bryan'R resignation has been inter

be rather blunt which. however. is mo-
wise the case. The note shows, on the
contrary, an outspoken tendency TO reach
an understanding with Germany on the
issues involved. II, therefore. Bryan de-

Tho Reichsbote. commenting on the

Either the tone was subdued following
Bryan's sensational resignation. or Bryan
desired to take advantage OF an oppor-
tunity to escape easily from situation
which no longer was pleasant"
THE Deutsche Rundschau says:

that Bryan either wax hasty or else
