W0MEN's MINIMUM WAGE LAW
AMnULLED BY U. S. HIGH COURT

TRADE unionists urge the passage
of laws TO set minimum wage at
which women may work and maintain
herself decently. Big business urges
defeat Of the same laws so that IL
may grind the souls out OF working
women at the least possible cost.
Trade uuionists would make women
self supporting, Big business would
make womon dependent upon a
lover" for part Of her support. We
who live In little towns do not realize
the awful conditions existing la the
large cities. In New York 10000
girls under 20 years of age work for
$40 week or less, l75,000 receive
less than $3.50, and more than 100 600
receive Shon or less. Aren't these
figures significant when the high cost
of living Is taken into consideration
DO people need to wonder where the
recruits for the "tenderloinn come
from Y-~and there are 10000 Of these
every year In New York City, sent
there principally because business will
not pay women self.sustainlng
wage.
Washington.--B BY a vote OF 8 To 3
the United States supreme court has
declared the District Of Columbia
wqmen's minimum wage law uncon-
sututional. The decision is vital
blow 10 this system, which has been
accepted by IA states.
The majority opinion was delivered
by Justice Sutherland, and the minor.
ity opinion by Chief Justice Taft.
Ha "A al Itf Ia ti.s.4
Sanford and Justice Holmes.
Justice Brandeia took no part In the
case because he acted as counsel in
defense of the Oregon minimum wage
law several years ago.
The majority opinion emphasized
the right Of private contract. These
FIVE justices semeed alarmed that the
liberties Of ii0,000,000 people would
become involved II working women
are not permitted TO accept wage
lower than will provide decent iiv-
ing.
This freedom Of contract claim by
the majority was effectively answered
by the minority:
Legislatures, in limiting free
dom of contract between employ
er and employed by minimum
wage, proceed on the assumption
that employees. in the class re-
ceiviHg less pay, are not upon a
full level Of equality Of choice
with their employers, and by
necessitous circumstances are
prone TO accept pretty much what
is offered. They are peculiarly
subject to the harsh and greedy
employer"
The majority seemed hard pressed
TO defend an ancient political econ
omy, for they presented the aston
ishing and unheard Of proposition that
If a minimum wage Is legal, 50 is
maximum wage.
No one has ever before seriously
referred 10 a maximum wage by law.
The court ignored the theory upon
which a minimum wage Is based ard
why the police power Of the state can
be resorted TO In this instance and
not for a maximum wage.
That the court would use this par
allel, which Is unnotieed bv the pub.
lie press, indicates the befuddled
economy that passes for law.
This befogged reasoning was again
shown by the majority when It OBJ
jected TO the Law because, they said
IL forced the employer 10 pay a wage
that did not consider whether the
service rendered was equal to the

Death OF Frank L. Wilson.

Died. on June 26th. 1928. at his home
near BurtonsvilIe. Nd. Frank L. Wilson,
aged SO years.
Mr.. Wilson was a lifelong resident Of
Montgomery county. By his death the
community loses one of its bestowed and
highly esteemed citizens. His peaceable
and unassuming manner and straiehtfor-
ward business methods won the admirati ton
OF all who knew him. The example that
he set and the evidence that he bore of
his hope were worth more than any legacy
he could have left.
Mr.. Wilson leaves widow. one son and
and two daughters. The large crowd that
attended his funeral was ample evidence
of the heartfelt sympathy extended to his
bereaved family.
Not now. but in the coming years.
1t may be in that better land.
We will know the meaning Of our tears,
And then. o then. we'll understand.

To Whom Ii May Concern,

Since beginning to use Powhatan Indian
Spring Water, have been in much better
health. the most noticeable improvement
being that my feet and ankles, which had
been greatly SWOLLEN for year or more.
have been reduced to normal size within
the three months have been using this
water.
In my case it seems to have done what
medicine faileo to do. and gladly recon-
mend it to others who may be suffering

One Dollar Saved Represents Ten
Dollars Earned.

The average man does not save to ex-
coed ten per cent of his earnings. He
must spend nine dollars in living expenses
for every dollar saved. That being the
case he cannot be too careful about I'M
necessary expenses. Very often a few
cents properly invested. like buying seeds
for his garden. will save several dollars
