No more vivid and romantic pie ture of life exists than that reflect ed in the Christian era, when Babylon's walls were the boundary of 8 life of passionate and mystic splendor. Humanity has outgrown Babylon's manners and garb, but in patriotism, love and loyalty. the hearts of men and women have not changed.
 MT. Griffith. whose regard for the dramatic and unusual was so admir- ably expressed in his two former masterworks, YThe Birth of a Ma ton" and Hearts of the World" has turned to the deep philosophies and spectacular brilliance of the days of Babylon for his inspiration, with the result that "The Fall of Babylon" is a simple love story against 8 back ground of colossal scenes of grandeur wherein slave dealers, knaves, soldiers, court beauties and ladies of the haren become the con trasting clements.

THE HOWL OF A DEMAGOGUE

Yesterday The Times published the account of five page howl by Delegate Sutherland which he had introduced as a part of the Congressional Record in which he is supposed to have arraigned the steamship companies whose vessels ply Alaska waters. By req of the fact that the people of Alaska have made Mr. Sutherland delegate he is enabled at public expense to advertise to the world at large, and to the voters at the coming primary election in particular, his opposition to two public service corporations which have served Alaska long and well. The books of these companies open to inspection to the government and will show that very often operation has resulted in positive loss to the companies while at no time have dividends from the Alaska run amounted to an average of seven per cent.
 We hoIG. no brief for any corporation but we do believe in fair play and the truth com pcls us to state that Mr. Sutherland's attack, which he explains the ground of its being 8 plea for a government steamship line, seems to IT. to be dictated by the cheapest kind of demagoguery. Everybody come and see how little Daniel stands up on his hind legs and makes faces at the lion, in the guise of the steamship companies.

A BLOW AT PICKETING

1t is the opinion of the ma jol1tv of the Su- premc Court of the United States that the State of Arizona did not have the right through legislative enactment to forbid the use of the injunction process against picket ing in labor disputes The opinion, delivered by Chief Justice Taft, holds that the state practically sanctioned an invasion of prop erty rights in violation of the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States. The strike which was followed by the refusal of the state courts to issue the injunc- tion asked for was against a. restaurant and it was shown that it suffered serious loss of business because of the picketing How that was conducted and the manner in which it was held to have violated the constitutional rights of the restaurant owners are described in part as follows in the language of the chief justice.
 It was not lawful persuasion or in
 ducing It was not mere appeal to
 the sympathetic aid of would-be custom
 CTS by simple statement of the fact of
 the strike and a request to withhold
 patronage. It was compelling every cus-
 toner to run the gauntlet of most, un-
 comfortable publicity, aggressive and
 annoying importantly, lbelous attacks
 and fear of injurious consequences il-
 legally inflicted to his reputation and
 standing in the community. No wonder
 that business of $5O,OO0 was reduced
 to only one-f fourth of its former extent. Violence could not have been more ef- fective. It was moral coercion by illegal
 annoyance and obstruction and it was
 thus plainly a conspiracy.

 Amendment

Clarke hold that in denying the use of the injunction the state had not violated the pro- visions of the Constitution inasmuch as the employers had at their command other means of securing remedy for any invasion of their rights. It was argued, in other words, that re- strictions placed upon one method of relief did not violate the Constitution inasmuch as relief was still obtainable in other ways, if rights were violated.
 The decision of the court in the present case, taken in connection with that recently given in the case of the American Foundres Company of Granite City, H., is to be re- garded as blow to picketing except perhaps, in the mere form of an announcement that d strike is in progress. As the majority of the court views~it, even compelling a customer to run the gauntlet of uncomfortable publicity is an invasion of property rights that may be stopped by the issue of an injunction and the injunction process is one not to be denied by legislative enactment in such cases. It is pro- perly described as a sweeping decision. It strikes at the roots of practices that have long been induged in by labor unions. The only comfort they are likely to find in this partcu- lar expression of the views of the highest court in the land is that but five of the nine justices concurred in it.-Boston Transcript

In the matter of loyalty to his word and to any cause he undertakes to support, the pro- fessional politician we have found to be much more dependable than the professional re- former. Experience has taught that d rule one is as safe in taking the word of the typical politician as the bond of many a citi- zen who spurns politics as something beneath his plane. And when it comes to the ordinary human qualities, the average politician is likely to be far more open minded, more sympathetic, more charitable to friend and foe, than some non-political individuals who make high pre- tensions of love for mankind If we were to fall stricken by the waysde, we should expect succor sooner from a politician who passed that way than from one, of the Pharisees not
