The 'sPeony Lantern"
Ihe "PeOny Lantern From 'The Uttermost Isles,'' by Heller Waddell, in Asia Magazine.
 There is no lantern can tighten The dusk of the way of love,


 Waddell, in "Asia'' Magazine.
 There is no lantern can tighten
 The dusk of the way of love-" says Buddhist proverb: and the story of the Botan-Doro is the story of the peony lantern that lighted one fool the way to death. It is the Japanese ~contem- porary of La Morte Amoureuse," written in the last century, and on the same theme. the love that binds the living and the dead. But there the likeness ends For Gautier's city lies always under the shadow of a cloud; the ''insubstantial pageant of the love between the priest and his dead mistress is the stuff of dreams; the one reality is her beauty, and it shines through twilight of green water. Encho's city is TCyko at the end of the eighteenth century, With daylight on it's streets. There is Nwl between sa amuraf' before swordsmseN's shop in Hongo, and Encho, great master of the colloquail as he is, records the ecstatic comments of the crowd with an affec- tionate detachment. little like Chau- cer's. There is no heightening of the style; no attempt at intensity; the story ends in terror, but it is the slow term that grows in sunligh; a worse thing to those who know it than any terror by night.
 TWO things change not since the Age of
 the Gods:
 The flowing of water, the coming of
 Love"
 It is idyllic an opening as the meeting of Troilus and Cressida in the orchard: a scene that has never had it's due. Only for Cressida's sophisticated white fox glove beauty, there Is O-Tsuy-san, Dew of the Morning. as perishable and fair as the purple flower of the convolvulus; and for Troilus, Hagiwara, the "samurai," one and twenty, handsome to the pitch of making one think what a beautiful wom- an he would have made and rather more of. scholar than a "samurai" should be.

SOVEREIGNTY IN BALANCE

'The fate of the sovereignty of the American people again hangs in the bal ance It is inconceivable that such an autocratic, despotical and tyrannical power can long remain in a democracy. One or the other must ultimately give way, and we believe that this convention should declare that as wage-earners and citizens of free and democratic republic, we shall stand firmly and conscientious ly on our rights as freemen and treat all injunctfve decrees that invade our per- sonal liberties as unwarranted in fact, unjustified in law and illegal as being
 in violation of our constitutional safe guards. \and accept whatever conse- quences that may follow.
 Immediate steps should be taken by the executive council and by all state organzations for the early enactment of adequate laws to deny the further usurpa- tion of these unwarranted powers by our courts and that Congress should be peti- toned to im9each all judges who exer- else governmental functions not expressly delegated to them. The public mind and conscience should be fully aroused to the dangers confronting the liberties of our people,
 The convention also adopted a report providing that all labor organizations in the United, States should Closely CO operate with trade unions in Canada in establishing stable conditions and should give Canadian members of international organizations advice and council and call
 attention to the sinister influences which are working in Canada to split up organized labor"
 Objection to adoption of this report, which was expected from the radical ele- metlt, was conspicuous by it's absence. The radical group, having been again rolled flat during flight they unsuccesS- fully waged earlier in the day against or gahjzed labor insisting upon the prohibit tiongof immigration during the reconstruc- tiosl period, seemed to realize the futility of trying further to convert the solid bulk of tba daIaOatac of radira1is,,1

-struction of law. This report, which as- sailed courts and judges, declared that organized labor in the future would treat all injunchve decrees that invade per sonal liberties" as being in violation of constitutional safeguards and would ac-- cept whatever consequences" might fol- low.
 While proud of our accomplishments in behalf of people of Europe" said the report, I've have, nevertheless, been neglectful of sinister influences constant ly at work in our bofy polite, which are slowly but surely sapping the virus of independence from our institutions and are creating an autocracy equal in power and authority to that exercised by the most tyranical despot ever known to human history
 Despite all precautions to safeguard individual liberty and freedom of action, and the fact that the early constitutional convention denied the right to our courts to pass on the constitutionality of laws enacted by Congress, our courts and judges have been slowly and surely dis regarding these restrictions and limita- tions and now freely and uninterruptedly exercise powers which even the monarchs and kaisers dared not exercise with all their claims 10 power by inherent di- vinity.
 The power of our courts to declare legislation enacted unconstitutional and void is a most fragrant usurpation of power and authority, and is a repudia- tion and denial of the principle of self government recognized now as a world doctrine. The continued exercise of this unwarranted power is g. blasphemy on the rights and claims of free men of America
 This usurpation of power by our courts to subordinate the legislative and executive departments to their will and compel the activities of a free people to their whims and dictates is paralleled and equalled only by the further usurpa- tion of authority of our courts to legis- late and punish people in direct defiance Of constitution safeguards, to personal liberty and freedom of action.
 By the issuance of injunctive decrees by our courts by the restraint they place lpon the normal and rightful activity of free people, by the punishing of free nen in the exercise of their constitu- tional rights without opportunity to a rial by jury, to the removal of safe guards thrown around the individual against extreme and excessive punish nents and the denial of an opportunity of executive clemency, our courts have 5ested themselves with a power greater than any despot ever heretofore pos SeSSed
