SAYS COURTS USURP POWER

Baltimore-In an editorial on Federal
Judge Hooks decision invalidating the
railroad eight-hour law, the Evening
Sun of this city makes this editorial
comment
That district Judge in Missouri
should possess the power to declare in
valid an act of the highest legislative
body in the nation and issue an injunc-
ton against it is one of the curiosities
OF our form of government, not to be
found, we believe, in any other on earth.
AS correspondent in the Forum points
out, the trainers of the constitution, or
many of them, never contemplated that
any such power should be given the
courts, and in fact they did not have it
until Chief Justice Marshall assumed it
or, as our correspondent claims,
'usurped it,"
The Forum, referred to by the Even
ing Sun, is correspondents column
conducted by that paper, in which a
writer says:
What informed man does not know
that the practice of declaring acts of
congress unconstitutional is usr1rped
power without any constitutional au-
thority whatever?
WHO does not know that Judge Mar
shall. injudicious and partisan, with al
most as little confidence in the masses,
as for instance Root in this modern
day, arrogated to the court that power?
What student with little thorough
ness in his makeup has not discovered
that in the days of so-called 'reconstruc-
ton congress actually did by legislative
enactment prevent the Supreme Court
from passing upon the constitutionality
of the Reconstruction acts?'"
"Mr. Editor, in the lexicon of jurists
precedent is mighty word, but prece-
dent unfortunately has proved ofttimes
a mighty obstacle to progress"

EIGHT HOURS lessons FATIGUE

New York.-"Fatigue is caused by
the intensity and frequency of repeti-
ton of muscular acts" said DR.. +. S.
Lee of Columbia university, in an ad-
dress on the i'll effects of overwork.
The way to avoid fatigue is to short
Ell the workday. The shorter workday,
where it has been tried out, has resulted
in better health and morals, better social
environment, more efficient industrial or
ganization. These results have been
clearly demonstrated, in view of the ac-
tive and unprinciped opponents of the
reductions, as well as its honest but
timid opponents.
Modern labor saving machinery has,
no doubt, increased the intensity of the
muscular acts. A workman at a machine
is no longer required to lift heavy
weights, for the machine does it. But
this labor saving machine has made the
frequency of repetition of muscular acts
greater-the worker makes quicker and
more movements"

EMPLOYERS REJECT AWARD.

Hamilton, Ontario Machinists are
still on strike to enforce a government
award that macfinists' hours be reduced
in war munition factories in this city.
This strike illustrates the impotency of
the Canadian industrial disputes act,
which has been condemned by the Do
minion trade unionists, but which is
lauded by certain elements in the United
States.
While the law originally applied only
to public utilities, the Canadian Govern
ment recently placed war munitions in
the list of public utilities. When the
machinists demanded reduction OF
hours the government commission de-
clared for nine-hour day. This the
employers have refused to accept and
now the workers are striking to enfore
the award

MORTIFIED, MASS.
Moody School May Lose Legacy.

Mrs. Charles II. Robinson of Pitts
field has entered an appeal in the SUI
perior court in Middlctown, CT, as the
result of an order of the probate court
admitting the will of her aunt to pro-
bate, in which Mrs. Robinson is cut off
without a penny and the estate left to
charity. Among the charities which
would profit if the will is sustained in
the Moody school at Mortified, which
has legacy of $4,000 in the will. The
others are the Middlesex County hos
pital and the North Congregational
church, both of Middletown.
Joining with Mrs Robinson in the
appeal are Noble s. Blatchley and Lii
lie Crane of New Haven, nephew and
niece respectively, of the decedent;
Charles f. Scranton of Madison,
another nephew, and Mrs. Emma S. Da-
Wis of Riverside, Call Il sister. They
allege that the decedent, Mrs. Annie
Harris, was incompetent at the time of
executing the will. Mrs. Harris died
last spring and the will was drawn
two years before, on Nov. %, 1914. The
estate involved is appraised at more
than $4,000, but if the will is sus-
tanned all will go to the public institu-
lions named.

A Vermont Posy.
New York Times.)

Students of the Vermont election re-
turns this year may have thought
that the Green Mountain Democracy
was strong and thriving Such is not
the case. Divers Progressives and
soured Republicans may have voted for
Mr.. Wilson, but the Vermont Demo
cratic party is still a diamond edi-
ton, an irreducible minimum, barely
big enough to fill its quota of federal
offices, consequently compressed, as in
the brave old days, when it could be
assembled without crowding in George
M. Stearns's back yard.
For, while most Vermont newspa-
pers want the state primary law
amended, as the people voted to amend
it, so that only enrolled members of a
party can vote in that party's pri-
maries, The Clipper of Burlington, true
blue Democrat, raises demonstrating
voice. AS a Democrat can t get state
office in Vermont or have any hope of
going to congress, his sole way to ex-
press his political self, to have any
shadow of effect upon state or congress
elections, is to vote in Republican pri-
maries. If he can't choose Democrats
at least he can have hand in picking
our Republican candidates.
Unclassified, unplucked, beloved, let
this strange, solitary flower remain, the
first posy that ever had the heart ia
grow on primary law.

ITO Hell with Booze
bellows Falls Times.)

The saloon men of Massachusetts
ought to be able to discern the hand
writing ON the wall. Fifteen cities
voted on the license question Tuesday.
Not one in the dry column changed in
favor of the open saloon, and four
which are now under license - Fall
River, Haverhill, Taunton and Leo
minster-voted to 90 dry. In most of
the cities which remain in the license
column the majorities of previous
years were reduced. Pittsfeld was held
by the saloons by the narrow margin
of 90, votes, and it is significant that
larger cities like Holyoke and Spring
field gave license majorities of only
49S and 49, respectively
Reformer
And it is the liquor dealers them
selves and no others who drive the
towns to vote no. Fifteen to twenty
DRINKS on the streets of Bennington
Saturday afternoon and evening week
after week placed there by the saloon
keepers themselves 90 times out of a
hundred make no license votes faster
than all the temperance orators that
ever spoke in town. When good work
men and good citizens are kept away
from their jobs for weeks at q time
while liquor dealer takes their money
and piles up IA debt that will render the
family destitute for an indefinite period
the saloon keeper is an active agent
in the cause of prohibition. What is
true in Bennington is true all over the
country. There is one great force thar
is fast driving this country to prohi-
bition and that force is composed of
the men who sell liquor and those who
drink it to excess. Billy Sunday, Will
liam Jennings Bryan, the anti-saloon
league and all the other similar organ
izations are only n small factor in the
matter.-Benningto Banner.
Billy Sunday wants all booze relegat-
ed to Hell. and even after it is relegated
the lid will have to be held down Sc
curely, if booze is to cease tormenting
and troubling the human kind. The idea
that the sale of Intoxicating liquors and
the saloon can be regulated and made
so respectable that the American peo-
pie will tolerate them seems to us ride
ulOus.
Tho liquor business is not humani-
tartan. All in any way connected with
1T are out for the high dollar. There is
no such thing as a respectable saloon.
The very nature of its business leads
downward to hell. In order to make the
selling of its wares profitable there
must he plenty of customers, and If
there arc to be plenty of customers
new crop of boys must be broken in
each year How can business whose
very existence depends on the debauch.
! ing of boys be considered respectable

Vermont Agricultural Schools.
LThn RrnAAlnLnnn Dn4n.......

1t is rather surprising to read that
the trustees of the Randolph agricul-
tual school consider in their annual
report a proposal to discontinue the in
stitution, which is owned by the state.
At first glance this looks like a back
ward step, but little consideration
presents the move in the light of sound
public policy. The Randolph school if
continued will require an expenditure
of $74, 900 for new dormitory and other
needs and the demand for maintenance
is expected to be $4,000 a year. The
Theodore n. Vail agricultural school
and farm at Lyndon Center, where the
plant is valued at approximately $3.50
GOO, will need $50 900 for the remodel
ling of buildings when the main resi-
dence is turned over to the state, and
the cost of maintenance there is esti-
mated at 100000 year. The property
at Randolph shows a valuation of
about $4,000, but it can be given IN
at an expense of only a few thousand
dollars. The maximum attendance at
Randolph the past year was 10 and at
the Vail school SO. From a careful
reading of the report of the trustees
The R0former is convinced that it
would be advisable both from the
standpoint of efficiency and economy to
concentrate the expenditures of the
state S money for the education of
young men in agriculture in one strong,
well-equipped school, and in every re
spect the Vail school has advantages
over the one at Randolph.
