Prohibition Extremists.
(NeW York Times )

Is it the purpose of the apparently docile pupils of the Anti-Sa1oon league to make the enforcement oill so out rageOusly severe and obnoxious that the senate and the country cannot stomach it? In monotonous process sion lenifying amendm ents are reject ed and the full rigOr of irritating and arbtrarp procedures is sustained. Even the provision denying jury trials to defendants convicted of viola ton of the prohibition enforce ment law and brought up for the arti- ficial contempt of court created by that measure was passed on a teller vote by a ma jorty of two after an amendment granting jury trial had been carried by four on rising vote. Evidently the dose sickened the house, but down it had to go.
 The bill makes a common nuisance of any room, house, and so on where intoxicating liquor is sold manufac- tured, kept, and so forth. Action is to be brought by prosecuting officers state or federal. A temporary injunc- ton may be issued by a United Stattk judge or a state judge with equity jurisdiction. If a temporary injunc- ton is issued and it's terms are vio- lated, the violator shall be punished for contempt by fine of not less than $500 nor more than $1,oO0, and by Imprisonment of not less than thirty days nor more than twelve months.' Gases of direct contempt of court are not triable by jury on the ground that the ,pOWer,' says Judge Cooley, "Would be defeated in many cases if they "Werc.' But the obvious pur- pose of the fanatical dryS is to deprive wet misd dem canantS of the protection of jury trial. They fear the result of a jury trial. They distrust public opin- ion. So, by this device of an indirect, constructive and technical contempt they would refuse to thousands of men and women the capital and an- cient right of the citizen. They do not seek to protect the dignity of the courts. They seek to leave the victims of a prosecuting statute, and, it may be, of private malice, bare of remedy. They do not dare to depend upon the verdict of a jury of the vicinage.
 In a bill crowded with search and seizure and destruction of property rights, this abrogation of jury trials for the sake of mulctng and driving to jail misdemeants so made by tho Anti-Saloon league is an affront, most
 
 and beliefs of English -speak king men and women. The liberties Of the United States as Blackstone said of those of England, "CannOt but subsist so long as this palladium (jury triaD remain sacred and inviolate; not only from all open attacks (which none will be so hardy to make) but also from secret machinations which may sap and undermine it: by introducing new and arbitrary m methods of trial, = bv dishonest, arbitrary extensions of contempt of court. All the machin- cry of law ends in twelve men," as Champ Clark said, or quoted, in The house. The machinery of prohibition law begins and ends in the AntiSa- loon league.
 The straitest sect of drys is dis crediting prohibition and disgusting the country. Unconsciously they are doing useful work. One feels like thanking them rather than blaming them.

 If the issue in it's new form is pressed, the Commons-the Lords no longer count--Will probably not be so slow, or make such a fuss about per hitting a widow to marry her late husbands brother as was the eXperl- ence in securing the right to widow CTS to marry their deceased wives sisters.

FOREIGN BRIDES FOR SOLDIERS

The transport Agememnon arrived
 in New York city yesterday with ninety-three brides of enlisted men from the army of occupation abroad, and so many more American wives were added to the growing list of for
 e1gn women in this country. It was stated that about half of the women
 were residents of LuNemburg and the
 other half were French. According
 to the officers 856 of the 26,559 men in the division have been married abroad That is we'll over three per cent. which might furnish figures for the whole army in France, though it would not be surprising were the fig ures finally proved greater than that. The United States is better off than nations as far as it's man power goes. We have more men to spare than the doreign country and it is perhaps well for the world that our soldiers and I some of the foreign women who l might otherwise face a life of spin sterhood. It has been stated that there are at least two women of mar riageable age to every man in Eng land. The proportion in France is probably even greater. The greater part of womans burden did not come during the war, as much as woman kind suffered, but is coming for the rest of this generation and part Of next.
 There are more women than men in the United States today though the female is not present in much greater numbers than the male. Conditions are no where near as bad as those abroad. Still there are enough more in this country to make the marriage of our males to foreign women a loss to the United States. One hundred Thousand marriages abroad mean so
 many men removed from the ranks of
 "prospects," and so many more Wom- en who must go without husbands. It is not an overcheering situation which the American girl has to face, provid- ing she has the female instinct and wishes a home and family, but one which will prove itself tangible never theless.
 It is matter of conjecture whether the foreign bride will prove herself adaptable to conditions on this side of the pond or not. Many arguments have been advanced that she will not However, she will obtain much better living conditions-but even then we are prejudiced as we are bound to like
 our own the best-than she might abroad. Even the essentials will cost
 more, but her bread-winner will earn
 more, and the equation remains more than even. She will undoubtedly find 1t hard to become accustomed to our mannerisms and customs but that is @only a matter of time, and she has the big comfort to sustain her that she might have been denied the rights she desired had she stayed over home.
 If there are enough French and we uaL0 lO Sdy ll--ISIHldn WlNSS Brought to this country to inculcate the habit of thrift so noticeable abroad into our national life, we shall prove the gainer by a great deal. This characteristic of even the richest fam flies of the Continent is one that may he well emulated here. Lessons in thrift are worth while to us.

STEEL TRADE FAVORS
STABILITY IN PRICES
Attitude Of Corporation Said to
Be Against Any Present
Change

New York. July 26.-Price advances
and the possibility of labor troubles
are the chief topics to be heard where
steel men gather. The upturns made
by some of the independents in tubular
goods, wire products and iron bars,
naturally has caused n belief that some
action might be taken by the leading
produccr-thc United States Steel Cor
poration.
However, in quarters where the sit
uation with regard to the steel corpo-
ration should be we'll known, it is
said that there is no possibility of an
advance being made by this company
due to the fact that the attitude of
those directing the affairs of the cor
poration has not changed, and they still
favor stability, even in a. market with
an advancing tendency.
In this connection, the question has
been asked as to whether it would not
be reasonable to suppose that the cor
poration would receive the bulk of the
new business to come into the industry
/ if independent companies are quoting
| higher levels than the steel corporation
However, it can be stated authorita
! lively that if such condition does
come to pass, the corporation will con
tinue to supply only its regular Gus
toners.
Of course, in the end this will meal
that when conditions are again nor
NAL and all producers are asking th
same quotations, there will be man!
consumers who will place their order
with the steel corporation in the hope
that if at any time in the future thu
independents again quote above tn
leading interest, they will be in n po
sition to have at least part of tn
needs supplied by the corporation.
In some circles it is stated that tn
advancing tendency continues and it
known that at least one of the lnde
pendent organizations is planning t
make an advance in the price of stee
bars in the near fr ture, providing condi
tions continue as ut present. 1t is expect
ed that if one concern puts up its quota
ton number of others will follow
mainly because recent contracts place
for bars have been large in volume.
So far as the labor situation is con
cerned none of the leaders in the in

dustry is worried over the outlook.
They agree with the view of Judge l..
III. Gary, chairman of the United States
Steel Corporation. that there is no like
lihood of a strike, nor is there any
great chance that the efforts of the
labor leaders to unionize the industry
will be successful.
With few exceptions it is stated that
the workers in the steel plants of the
country generally are satisfied with
present conditions and wages. The
eight hour day is not wanted because
most of the men would like more
time off, but is being used merely in
an effort to get two extra hours of work
with time and one half pay for overtime.
Some of the larger companies have
been receiving information from their
plant supcrintendents on the situation,
and they all carry cheerful tone. Some
state that the men are satisfied, and
while it is not known definitely how
many of the workers in the individual
mills have joined the various unions, the
opinion prevails that the number is fal
in the minority.
If by any chance there are some
strikes, however. it is the general view
of those who should know that the stee
companies will stand fast in the policy
for the "open shop Maintaining tha,
the wage scale is satisfactory, it is no,
believed by authorities in the industry
, that the men can be brought to point
where they will quit work in an effor
to have all the plans unionized, ant
whatever increase there has been il
the ranks of the unions during the las
month or SO is expected to be los
within a comparatively short time.

Unemployment Pay

In England the weekly unemployment
dole Is Dos to men and 25s to women,
with an additional amount for each de-
pendent child This is sum certainly
none too large to maintain a self re-
specting standard of living, although it
is larger than were the wages for a
full weeks labor in many lines prior to
the war. 1t is admitted by every one
that the system is being abused, that
men are declining to work because they
would rather loaf and draw the dole.
Under the rules of administering this
unemployment fund the government
must present to man an opportunity
to labor at his particular trade before
it may cut off his claim to the I'M
employment gratuity. There is in Eng
land an extraordinary immobility OF
labor as between the various trades.
1t naturally follows that there are many
stories related of how men decline to
work at this job or that because such
| Job does not fall exactly within the
defined limits of their particular trade,
and the men sit idly consuming gov
| ernment charity while useful tasks re
main unperformed.
A man of very high position l. the
financial world of the city told me this
story. A man had been in his EN-
pIoy as a gardener, but left that worl
to become repairer of roads. Munic-
ipal economics stopped} road repairing
