NEW COURT PLAYING FAIR.

All America heard strenuous, in
deed. a strident. protest from organic
ed labor on the establishment OF new
Industrial Court in the State of Kan
sas on the initiative of Governor
Allen.
This court had the power TO order
strikers to return to work in essential
Industries on pain of Imprisonment for
contempt of court. The principle was
a novel one for this country. IL was
denounced US establishing of slavery
and orders of the court we're for time
defied by coal miners. We believe
everybody is submitting now
And the reason for this. if we mis-
take not, is the fact that the Indus
trial Court is playing fair It is ex-
ercising the other drastic powers al
lowed TO it, to check employers IN the
interest of industrial justice.
The latest decision aifirms Jurisdic-
ton TO compel manufacturers in essen
tiaI industries to maintain a reasonable
production. which is held TO mean that
they must keep a large part of their
employees at work.
Is is also declared that skilled work
ers should be paid whether they are
at work OF not, so that quick readiness
To serve may be assured. Finally ii is
ruled that while capital is commodity
labor is not.-Brooklyn Eagle.

He Is Now President elect Harding.

Yesterday. Warren Gamalial Harding
If the State Of Ohio was duly and law

S,ases. Az the same time, former coV-
ernor Calvin Coolidge Of Massachusetts

next. with impressive ceremonies the
president-elect at the east front g the
Cani,ol in the presence Of Thousands Of
sdmiring fellow-citizens, and the vice
president-elect in the Senate chamber
No doubt thousands az persons, When
thev cas-, their balllcss on the second day
az November last. imagined they were
voting for Harding and Coolidge for Pres
ident and Vice President, respectively
So they were in effect, but not IN TACT
They were only voting for certain men,
candidates for the positions Of Electors OF
President and viec-Presidert % attend TO
this work for them. These Electors met
a. their respective State Capitals. yes
terday. and large majority Of them voted
for MFR Harding for President and MI
Coolidge for vice-President. 4 very small
minority voted for Governor James Nj.
Cox of Ohio for President and Franklin ID.
Roosevelt of New York for Vice-Presl-
dent.
The most remarkable feature Of this
election Of a President and Vice-President,
Yesterday. was that the men who par
ticipated in it were not bound by law to
vote for either Harding and Coolidge or
Cox and Roosevelt They had an un-
doubted right TO vote for whom they
pleased. and whoever received the ma
ioritv Of the votes would have been de-
clared duly elected President and Wee
President by Congress at the Official
counting of the Electoral vote, next
month. But these men voted as they did
because they had been so instructed by
the votes Of their fellow-citizeDs who
elected them last November They car
ried out the will of the people as expressed
nj that election, and never even dreamed
of doing otherwise.
Thus, we see that although our laws do
not guarantee a popular choice of Presl-
dent and yice-President, custom has
made this result absolute The election o
these officials is as completely IN the hands
OF the people as though the law especially
provided for direct popular choice

The threat of punishment is made. not

will have to be inflicted, but with the
more reasonable hope that public

Coming at time when other expenses
are in process Of reduction, the increase
in local telephone rates authorized by the
Public Utilities Commission will not be
Ielished by subscribers. But it will be only
right to remember that telephone charges
in Wilmington were not Iabidiy advanced
during the war period, as the charges for so
many other services were, and that largely
increased operating expenses made more
revenue absolutely necessary.
