contract, but to improve our financial condition; the breach of your contract was a mere incident to the fulfllment of our puTpuose." The inviolability of contracts would then be an in cident to the self interest of men. It may be that an occasional authority has announced this doctrine, but an extended examination satisfies Us that the authorities generally upon this subject are not in accord with 1t and are in accord with the, conclusions to which we have come.
 The intentional procurement of the breach Of an existent contract If done with knowledge of the contract and without just cause or excuse makes hom who causes the breach liable for resulting damage, and this Is so even though he acted in promoting his own legitimate interests.
 The question. of the right of the makers in McLachlan's factory to strike is not involved in this case; nor is the question of their right to strike when they know that the strike will cause their employer to breach his contracts involved. The question decided is whether these defendants had the right to induce McLachlan- to breach his contracts with the plaintiff, of which they had notice fo rthe purpose of securing to the members of their union steady em- ployment.
 As a result of the preaching of plaintiffs contracts with McLachlan he has suffered a loss of $5,I3o.75, There IS error, the judgment IS re- versed and the superior court Is or dered to enter it's judgment for $5,- I3o.75 with interest from January I, 1920, against defendants, Green, Law Ter, Sculley and O'Hara"

Over Half of Engines In Need of
 Repairs,

On the basis of inspections made the report guardedly brings ou the fact that something over half the engines examined are in need of re- pairs that should be made in accord with sound practice"
 This means that it is not "sound practice" to operate more than half the engines examined. Safety is the only thing considered by 1. C. C. examiners in defining "sound prac- tice' and there must therefore be an ,element of danger in the operation of more than half the engines exam ined.
 If the same ratio holds for the 7o,ooo locomotives in use in the United States, then there is an ele- ment of danger in connection with the operation of more than 35,ooo of those locomotives. Passengers have less than 50 per cent chance of rid ing behind an absolutely safe locomo- tive every time thev board a train.

 At 7I7 different points they made personal inspection of 4,o85 locomo- tives Of these 2,456 disclosed de- fects of the varied character mention ed above and more or less serious; I6o were found to be in such condi- tion that they were not safe to oper- ate,' and notices were served upon the carriers, under Section of the act, requiring them to be Withdrawn from service.

REGISTRATION LAW.

The foIlowinglshould be care
fully read and |: studied, and it
would not be a.bad idea for you
to keep the paperifor reference:
On July l0land II every quail
flied voter in the state of Ken
lucky, male and;female, will be
required to register if they ex-
pect to voteEin:thes:regular elec-
tion in November next. There
will be another day for the reg
istration of such persons as
were unable for one reason or
another, to perform this duty on
the regular days set apart for
that purpose. This registration
will suffice for all time for those
registering and it will not be
necessary again to register so
long as theiEqualified voter re-
mains in that precinct.
Registrationsof qualified vot-
ers applies to those of the city
and county precincts. Without
registration it will be impossible
to take part in the election in
November or any primaries pre-
ceding or following. Three days
are fixed for the registration this
year. the third being set for 60
days just preceding the Novem-
Der election. In years following
there will be one registration, on
the second Monday in July of
each year. This is for those
who may have reached their ma
jority or who may have moved
from one precinct to another, or
into the state and become quail
flied voters.
1t is estimated by the county
officials that the registration will
cost the county SO, 500 the first
year and about half that amount
each succeeding year. 1t is be-
lieved by politicians that it will
obviate much irregularity in vot-
ing and that dishonest elections
will be a thing of the past. The

duties assigned under the law.
When the governing author
ity for any city or county of eth
er political party casting the
highest number of votes at the
preceding election shall desire, it
shall be the duty of the county
board of election commissioners
to purge the polls at that partic-
ular precinct and these officials
shall not be residents of that par
ticular precinct desired to be
purged. 1t is necessary to give
the name and address of each
voter whose right to vote is chaI-
lenged. Proceedings will then
be instituted to try out the right
of the voter to vote in the pre-
cinct. If the two officers ap-
pointed to hear such challenges
disagree on any of the challenged
voters, it is then referred to the
circuit court clerk who submits
the case to the circuit Judge.
The judge decides the right of
the voter in the precinct for
which the books may have been
destroyed. The books may not
be taken from the office, except
at the regular or primary cleo

THEIDRAFT.

The best political means of pro-
noting the welfare of the
State is, in the opin-
ion of the. ICourier-Journal,
through the draft system, and
that paper suggests that high
class citizens be drafted1for im-
portant officesDin Kentucky"
The first question::which comes
to the mind of the laverage citi-
zen is, whoiwill constitute the
Draft Board, and then he won
ders who will furnish the::::stand-
ard by which the;lcitizenship of
Kentucky is to be measured?
According to theE:standard es-
tablished by the Democratic par
ty, any man or: woman who re-
ceives a majority Of the votes
cast in a primary: election is a
high class citizen, ready to pro.
mote the welfare sof the State.
The PrimarylElection Law is a

which Woodrow WiIson!wrote in
to the laws of..NewlJersey. The
Republican Legislature of 1920
undertook to destroy the Demo-
cratic Primary system;by amend

Central CommitteeiEcould call a
convention and give the selected
few an opportunity to dictate the
nominations for State offices. If
sthe Democratic State Central
Committee should fall into the
trap laid by the Republicans, and
call Convention, it will be very
unfortunate for our Party. The
women favor the primary elec-
ton system and the rural voters
want an equal opportunity with
machine politicians. The tenden-

to be in favor of centralization of
power, which always leads to au.
