HAVE FAITH IN LAW.
Despite Decision Declaring Kansas
Measure Unconstitutional.

Topeka, Kan, Aug 2l.--The deci-
sion OF Judge w. H. Mechanism up
| holding a motion that the Kansas in
dustrial relations court act is uncon.
stitutional in the title" does not yet
jeopardize the activities or legality OF
the court, according to Judge w. L.
Higgins, presiding magistrate of the
court.
Members OF the court and Attorney
General r. j. Hopkins, who will appeal
the Wyandotte county decision to the
supreme court, expressed themselves as
confident that the law as enacted will
stand the acid test before the high
court
Judge Mechanism contends that the
title OF the law itself rs not germane
to what is expressed therein" relative
to the criminal features of the court
act. While the court in itself has no
criminal jurisdiction, it is obligated
by the court act to have violstors Of
the law prosecuted in any court of
competent jurisdiction. This might be
in either a state or federal court.
The case before Judge Mechanism
was that Of switchman arrested on
a charge of agitating strike and en-
deavoring to persuade others to quit
work in an industry recognized by the
industrial relations court as one nee
essary to the public welfare.
Even though the supreme court
should knock out the section of the
law pertaining to the Wyandotts case,
it still would have plenty Of teeth
to be effective in such cases. said
Fred S. Jackson, former attorney gen
eral, now attorney for the industrial
court. "The point at issue is a mere
teehniality. Should it be necessary, the
legislature could by amendment re-
model the title of the law, but | antiei |
pate that the law win stand the test |
in every respect"

windmills of Cape Cod. There, too, one
farmhouse has as its sign Little pigs

are to be put when one arrives at ones

Much of this business activity began,
probably, when the farmers first put in
their own little gasoline stations. When
the earlier motorists were continually
finding themselves in need of gasoline,
and seeking aid at the nearest farm
houses, it would naturally occur to
those farmers that it might be well to
put in regular gasoline stations. One
