proximately SO. The ethical right of
every worker, man or woman, to a
living wage may be conceded. One
of the trade organizations is to
secure it. And with that principle
and with every legitimate effort to
realize it in fact, no one can quarrel /;
but the fallacy of the proposed
method of attaining it is that it as
sumes every employer is bound at
all events to furnish it. The moral
requirement implicit in every con-
tract of emplcyment---viz. that the
amount be paid and the service to be
rendered, shall bear to each other
some relation of just equivalence, is
completely ignored"
Pointing out that some states had
minimum wage laws while many
more did not, justice Sutherland in
sisted that "the power to fix mini
mum wages carried with it, if lawful,
the power to fix maximum wages"

That fiend incarnate, that "Hellish
Demon" that vicious inhuman monster
that beat that poor boy to death, and
most barbarously and inhumanly beat
those other prisoners in his charge
and care at Madison, Florida, is be-
yond the pale of human considera-
ton. He should be compelled to ex-
pirate his horrible crimes to the full
est before ending his vicious life.
The old Mosaic law should be applied
in his case, and he should receive in
return the horrible beatings in like
manner as he administered to those
unfortunate prisoners in his keeping,
finishing him at the last in the same
horrible manner as he fiendishly ad-
ministrated to the poor boy from
Dakota.

PUTS END TO
KANSAS INDUS
TRIAL COURT
What the Supreme Court De-
cision in Minimum
Wage Case Means

Chicago, April 10.-That the Unit
ed States Supreme Court decision
holding unconstitutional the District
of Columbia minimum wage law for
women and children means the end
of the industrial court of Kansas,
was the declaration of Matthew
Wool, vice president of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, today in
a statement.
Similarly, he asserted, the injunc-
ton against the railroad shopmen
who struck last July was doomed.
He declared "the law of the jungle
Is affirmed" and that woman "must
forget her lady-like manners, grit
her teeth, and in combination with
all her kind, unswervingly determine
to fight her way through" the in
dustrial and commercial world.
"Inasmuch as the Supreme Court
has said to Congress that it is
without power to enact law to fix
the wages of women and children
it goes without saying state legis-
latures are without power to do so.
If our state legislatures cannot en-
act laws fixing minimum wages of
women and children, then surely a
state legislature cannot delegate
such an unconstitutional authority
to an industrial court to fix both
men and women, or children.
'Tt then follows" he said "that
all legislative attempts and legisla-
tive enactments having for their
purpose the enforcement of compul-
sorry arbitration of industrial dis
putes are likewise unconstitutional,
because such laws involve the fixing
of wages and are therefore an in
frigement and restriction upon the
right Of contract"

CONTROL YOUR THOUGHTS

Friends, do not let low hopes lie
In your heart, but let them fly;
For as you surely know;
We most and win reap what we SOW.
Pray that these temptations may not
last,
From your heart all evil cast;
For your thoughts are as rain,
Which produce good or evil, loss
or gain.
To control your thoughts is hard,
But think, you'll receive your re-
wardt
Do not dispair nor try the less,
Your heart should be filled with
thankfulness.
In life you have power to weld
In the struggle on tempting field,
AS you labor toward lifes ends,
May you bear your well earned
sheaves.
Many victories you have wrought,
Many helpful lessons taught;
Why not of these be one?
Who feel assured, their day is
done.
Let the heart be filled with recon-
pense,
Nor seek that evils come from
whence;
That in some peoples heart is stayed
Who live in darkness and shade.
Where no bright hope their mind
can span,
They feel below the righteous man
Will you seek to be one of these
Who apparently live in ease.
MARY E. COOPER.
The north Mississippi herald., 1923-04-13

You are due that to people anyway.
Don't feel too self-important.
Don't ride your dignity too hard.
If praying man at all, don't pray
any louder or longer than before your
announcement for Office.
Don't count too heavy on being
elected. That other fellow is doing
that too.
Don't get too liberal with your
meager means before the primary.
You might have to retrench strenu-
ously afterward and for years to
come.
Try to be just what you really are,
and you will come out better in the
end,

CHARACTERIZATION.

Down through the centuries there
have been noteworthy periods when
reading the Bible seemed to be even
more strongly essential to culture
than any other recognized prose or
poetry.
The present time is one of these,
What causes the cycle to repeat it
self is Of no particular moment. Suf-
ficient that it does, and deep think
ers find the reason easily traceable.
The fact remains: Bible reading is es-
sential.
So eminent an educator and critic
as William Lyon Phelps has written
an intensely interesting work on
character delineation as he observes
it in the Bible. The title of his vol
ume, Human Nature in the Bible"
again places the Bible in the hands
of men as a story of men.
1t is not book to be read merely
by students, or by the clergy, or by
laymen especially inclined. The BIZ
ble's interest is so varied, and its pic
lures of life so wildly drawn, that
for the general reader its value as
thrilling literature cannot be over
estimated.
The third chapter of Genesis for in
stance, contains record of mans
weakness and human frailty such as
has never been equalled. The Book of
Ruth is story of adventure and a
love tale of rare romantic appeal.

PROMISE YOURSELF

To be so strong that nothing can
disturb your peace of mind.
To talk health, happiness and pros
perity to every person you meet.
To make all your friends feel there
is something in them.
To look on the sunny side of every
thing and make your optimism come
true.
To be just as enthuiastic about
success of others as you are about
your own.
To forget the mistakes of the
past and press on to the greater
achievements of the future.
To wear a cheerful countenance
at all times and to have a smile
ready for every living creature you
meet
To give so much time to the i'm
provement of yourself that you
have no time to criticise others.
To be too large for worry, too
noble for anger, too strong for
fear, and too happy to permit the
presence of trouble.
To think we'll of yourself and to
proclaim this fact to the world
not in loud words but in great
deeds.
To live in the faith that the
world is on your side as long as
you are true to the best that is
in you.

you to have it.

want.
Don't go gyrating around trying to
make voters believe your past exper-
ience in Office safeguards YOU
against future mistakes.
Don't tell folks your life il an open
book and invite them to peruse it.
1t may be too open already for your
success.
Don't think that handshake and a
smile will win vote from everyone
you happen to meet.
Don't think that because a fellow
looks seedy he can be gulled by your
campaign slush.
Don't think that because a fellow
don't tell you that he won't vote
for you, that he is going to do so.
Don't get over-polite before the
primary and under-polite afterward
Don't think that you have any more
claim on the people than your oppo-
nent.
Don't ask for reelection on your
record. Maybe that alone will de-
feat you.
Don't boast of your church affil-
iations or fraternal experiences. Re-

Don't sulk if you are defeated.
Only one can be elected to an office

PREVENTATIVE MEDICINE

The tendency of medical science ID
toward preventative measures. It Is
easier and better to prevent than to
cure. Pneumonia, one of the most
dangerous diseases that medical men
have to contend with, often follows
a cold or attack Of the grip. The cold
prepares the system for the recep-
ton and development of the pneu-
monia germ. The longer the cold
hangs on, the greater the danger.
Take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
as soon as the first indication Of
cold appears so as to get rid Of II
with the least possible delay. It is fol-
ly to risk an attack of pneumonia
when this remedy may be obtained
for triffle.
