HAVE CHANGED ITS MEANING.

New York.-In special article
published in a local paper. Samuel
Seabury, associate judge of the court
of appeals. declares that courts have
given the word elderly" a different
meaning from that intended by the
authors of the fourteenth amendment
to the federal constitution
after the civil war" he says, "the
fourteenth amendment was adopted
primarily to secure the rights of the
freed slaves, and this amendment was
of course applied to the States as
well as to the federal government.
This amendment has been held to in
clude corporations as well as natural
persons. and the term liberty" as
used in the fourteenth amendment, has
been given the widest possible inter
probation with the result that a great
deal of Beneficial legislation ardently
desired by the people has been an
nulled.
"A long list OF really good laws
have been lost because the courts
have held that they violated that
liberty" which is a creature of ju-
dicial Interpretation and not what was
intended by the trainers of the con-
stitution.
THE courts must recognize that
much of the modern social and labor
legislation which seems nominally to
offend against individual liberty is,
in fact, designed to secure a wider
and truer freedom than has ever be-
fore been known TO man"

HUGHES WITH THE CROOKS.
(By Marcus Day3

The corporate interests have so |
long used government in their strug- !
giles with employees that they are
completely at sea when the latter does |
not Immediately take official charge |
of their battles Under the regime of |
Republicanism the threat
ening brotherhoods in train service
would have been quickly squelched
by the strong hand of official power
exerted thru Washington. In such a
contest as the one between employer
and employee in train service the
proper" sort of President would have
steered an arbitration board made up
arbiters who were biased in favor OF
the railroad kings. Then when the
workmen criticised the finding Of a
fake board the former would have
been accused of adopting the rule of
ruin" policy toward both their en-
ployers and the general public. That
is Just the sort of difference there is
between a Woodrow Wilson and
Hughes. Mr.. Hughes association and
training make it impossible for him
to use a detached mind in the weigh
ing of any problem where there is
conflict of the classes. Being class
consciously smitten with conviction
that he must support the latter under
all circumstances he would certainly
favor the appointments of men on an
arbitration board who never question
vested pretensions. most always term
ed right 1t will be noticed that in
all of Mr.. Hughes criticisms he never
touches upon the matter of over-capi-
taiization of railroad properties. Of
watered stock, of financial buccaneer-
ing, of fake receiverships. of comic
opera extravaganza. interlocking di-
rectors, etc, etc. All this latter forms
of great theft are either side-stepped
or swallowed although they are the
kernel of railroad sickness.
Mr.. Hughes showed much sign of
becoming a peoples representative in
his early rise and it was only because
he unearthed big theft that he ever
gained political prestige and notoriety
but as soon as the political ambition
in him began to buzz his environment
forced him to confine his assaults up
on graft to the lesser lights. He made
a great start which completely fizzled
because he was not man enough to
accept poverty defeat and spartan
sacrifice as an inevitable reward for
those who fight the successful oi
earth. No one who espouses the
cause Of justice will have anything
but a stormy sea but he be patient
and courageous he will be rewarded
at last with the confidence of those
who appreciate service in their he
half and there are no others who
really count.

THE GREAT WAR.

There does not seem to be any evil
det,ce of 1.-THE great European war
drawing to a close. From appear
ances, it can be assumed that Ger
many can only hope for the exf1aus-
ton of the Allies, before she is COM
pletely conquered. A victory for Ger
many faded with the failure to march
into Paris. When the French were
able to stem the tide at the battle
Of the Marine. the German cause was
doomed Since then new enemies
have arisen and she is beset on every
side
Lord Kitchener thought the war
would be a long one and that one
side or the other would finally be ex-
hausted. He expressed this in the
sententious remark. after the war had
been in progress for several months.
that it would begin in MAY and would
last for three years. IF Kitchener had
the matter sized 40 right, the war will
practically have two more years to
run. This seems incredible, but there
can be no doubt Of the purpose of the
Allies not to wholly crush the Ger
man people, il such thing were pos
sible, bur to absolutely crush the mill
tary regime. which has so long dom
mated Germany In fact it may be
regarded as a certainty that the arti-
cles OF peace viii be based upon prin-
ciples that will insure a permanent
peace and that with the closing OF
this great war. mankind will turnrfrom
war with horror and peace will rest
upon the earth practically for all time.

MAINE ENDORSES 81 HOUR
LAW.

Portland. Me-A decisive victory
was won at the last election when the
voters of the tSate by a decisive ma
jority approved the 54-hour bill sub
mitted by action of the legislature.
The law prohibits the employment of
females or minors more than 81 hours
week in any mercantile or manufac-
turing establishment Z The measure
was Endorsed by the labor unions and
submitted to the legislature for action
thereon. From the very inception of
the fight for its passage the merchants
and manufacturers of the State have
bitterly opposed every step of prog
ress toward its final adoption. After
favorable action on it by the legisla-
ture, the opposition forces organized
to. secure its defeat at the polls, col
lecting a fund amounting to thous-
ands of dollars and establishing head
quarters at Augusta where seventeen
stenographers were engaged in send
ing thousands Of copies of literature
explaining how the enactment OF a
54hour law would drive many Of the
leading manufacturing concerns and
textile mills out of the tSate. Despite
all that, the measure carried by a
large majority. signal victory for the
trade unions of Maine

HUGHES SPEAKS AT PEORIA

The following editorial which APP
peared in The Peoria Labor News, of
September Fl, an official labor paper
which is published in Peoria, Illinois,
has the following to say regarding
the one hundred per cent candidates
recent speech in that city
The citizens of Peoria had the OPP
portunity last Tuesday of hearing the
republican candidate for President OF
the United States-Chas. f. Hughes.
1t was a meeting that every wage
worker in central Illinois could well
afforded to have attended. Hughes
made his position absolutely plain.
He is not favorable to the workers.
The whole theme of his speech was
a severe criticism OF President Wood
row Wilson's administration. He criti-
cised the Child aLbor Law, the late
Adamson Bill that prevented the great
railroad strike and told the audience
that President Wilson was persuaded
in his actions by the force of the
Brotherhoods. He couldn't find il
within him to pay oRe tribute to the
progress that has been made in Amer.
lea during the past four years.
There is nothing original about
Hughes. He rests on dead mems
shoulders. He likened himself tc
nearly all of the great men who have
ever done anything that meant fol
progress. He told of the many way:
in which he had favored the men
women and children who work for Z
living in tie state of New York: bu
when a worker in the rear of thu
Coliseum asked him to tell of his con
nection with the Danburry Hatters
that man was promptly elected from
the hall--nor did Mr.. Hughes refe
to the Danbury Hatters
Since the appearance of Mr.. Hughe
in Peoria, the Editor has interviewed
hundreds of trade unionists as t,
their position in the presidential elec
ton and not one has indicated tina
he would vote for Mr. Hughes. The,
have compared his record as a Su
preme Judge with that of Mr. Wilsoi
as leader of the nation.
Mr.. Hughes must be defeated
the workers are to continue to max
progress and regardless of party al
filiations the men and women of la
Dor must turn out on election day an
elect their 'fhiend and defeat thei
enemy

FINANCING THF F1aHr.

San Francisco.-Every trade union
ist in the city will contribute 20 cents
a week to a general fund to be raised
by the Labor Council to combat the
efforts Of the Chamber OF Commerce
to establish the non-union shop in
this city.
This decision was reached by the
Labor Council at its last meeting
when it was unanimously voted to
assess every trade unionist in San
Francisco 20 cents per week for an
indefinite period. 1t is estimated there
are $1,000 trade unionists in San Fran
cisco. With each trade unionist con-
tributing 20 cents per week, the Labor
Council will have at its disposal $751;
600 a week.

LABOR FOR WILSON

Sanmuei Gompers, the trusted lead
err of the American Federation of La
Dor, has given his official endorse
ment to the candidacy of Woodrow
Wilson for reelection to the presi-
dency, and this endorsement is also
testified to by the other officers of
the Federation. All active members
of the tabor organizations OF the
United States should uphold the hands
of their officials and should rally to
the support Of President Wilson. The
endorsement is just and well-deserved
NO American public man has ever
proved his. friendship for organized
labor and for the rights of man more
clearly than has Woodrow Wilson.
His courageous stand upon the Adam
son bill is brought clear home to the
opposition in his recent challenge that
he had signed the bill because it was
right in principle and not merely as
a matter OF expediency. There is
the superb challenge Of a man who
is willing to stand or fall by his ac-
ton. What is Mr.. Hughes going to
do about it? Is he going to be equal
w as frank7 He is opposing the meas
lire as having been one of expediency
but President Wilson cuts that ground
absolutely fro munder him. The bill

assault upon the non-essentials and
come out as clearly with his views

have arbitrated, but Wilson says the
principle Of the eight-hour day IS not
an admirable question-and the Amer

stand to the last man.

of subterfuge, of equivocation and Of
criticism will not appeal to the Amer
lean people. President Wilson allows
his acts to speak for him, but Hughes
even with the benefit of "hindsight"
is unable and unwilling to say what
he would have done, under the same
circumstances. The American people
instinctively like fair play and the
campaign of Hughes has already elm
mated him upon the count Of "foul."
