THE KANSAS INDUSTRIAL
u DECISION

The United States Supreme
Court is to be thanked for a laconic
u~tterance in its decision yesterday
in the Kansas Industrial Court case
which is likely to be often quoted
in the future, and which cannot fail
to have a large influence in our
legislation and judicature. We re-
fer to the words: Freedom is the
general rule and restraint the ex
ception." There is a tendency
nowadays to forget this principle,
and to make restraint the rule and
freedom the exception. The decis-
ion of the Supreme Court in this
case vindicates the rule. 1t does
not in terms by any means invsli-
date the Kansas Industrial Court
law, which puts the state in the
position of an authoritative arbiter
in disputes between capital and la
Dor in certain industries, including
food and fuel. But it finds that in
nm important ease the effect OF the
law is ito curtail the right of the
employer on n hand and the en-
ployee on the other to contract
about his affairs" And it certain
ly does invalidate the Kansas law
except in those cases where it can
be proved that the business affected
is clothed with a recognizable pub
lie interest. The food business,
which was concerned in this case, is
held by the court not to be affected
with that kind Of interest. The Of
feet of the decision is to sustain the
general principle that. legislation
which gives to the organization Of
labor a special privilege over capital
and its organizations is invalid be-
cause it violates the freedom of
contract guaranteed under the con-
stitution and is amendments.
We have regarded the Kansas In
dustrial Court law as on the whole
n very desirable development in leg
islation. We still so regard it.. It
is at least an attempt to render Sc
cure the general public interest the
general public's right and necessity,
as against the claims Of organized
labor on one side and organized
capital on the other. That element
of labor which can see no right. at
all for the employer, which main
tains that labor is everything and
capital nothing, has been very much
opposed TO the Kansas law, and has
over threatened revolutionary pro-
ceedings against it. Governor Hem
ny j. Allen, who has pushed the law
and ably championed it before the
sentiment of the whole country. has
been stigmatized as the enemy OF
labor. He is nothing Of the kind.
The public at large has wished him
well in his attempt to vindicate the
larger rights of the whole people.
But it is apparent that the law has
gone so far in attempting to include
the manufacture and preparation of
food among the exceptional busi-
nesses in which public restraint is
not only possible but desirable. I'm
der this decision, the exceptional
character Of a business must be
proved in order to permit an abridg

mony was performed by the Rev.
Howard II. Brown, pastor Of the

church, and the double ring service
was used.
Miss Frances E. Folsom, sister Of
the bride, acted as bridesmaid, and
the best man was Oscar B. Porter Of
Houlton, brother Of the groom. The
bride was attra ctively gowned in sill
yer gray canton crepe and she car
ried a bouquet of pink roses and
fern. The bridesmaids dress was of
yellow wolfe, and she carried pale

Target Practice and
Nv eek-End Camp for
HEADQUARTERS Men

4. More than 25 members of the seth
Infantry Brigade Headquarters COM
pany of this city made trip Sunday
TO the rifle range for the purpose of
trying out their "gats" before the tour
of duty at Camp Devens. which starts
Saturday. July 81. The boys found that
there is considerable difference between
theory and practice, although some fine
scores were made by some of the boys
who. had had no previous experience
with As calibre automatic revolver.
About half of the men went to the
range Saturday night in one of the
large army trucks. They carried their
blanket rolls, of course. as well as mess
kit and other field equipment. Owing
to the rain which fell in the late aft
ernoon shelter tents were not pitched.
as originally planned, but instead the
men bunked in the barn on the range.
After a fine supper the boys amused
themselves until dark and then went
to bet but not to sleep.
Although diligent search was made
for the soft side Of the floor, 1t was
finally decided that there "ain't no such
amman and several of the members
got as much as three hours of sleep.
In the morning bright and early, in
fact too bright and early. Everyone was
up, so breakfast was served ahead of
schedule and the range was prepared
for the forenoon's execution. AS soon
as the grass was dry, or nearly so,
firing commenced and the landscape
was bored full of holes for the next
three hours. The return was made to
the armory by truck and upon their
arrival the boys were greeted with the
tiding that drill would be held on
Thursday evening this week so that
those desiring to do so might attend
the circus Wednesday.

One man SUFFERS
BAD CUT IN CRASH
CARS ON STATE ST,

One of the most spectacular and in
many respects extraordinary acct
dents, according to eye witnesses,
among the many motor crashes re-
ported in this vicinity for weeks, &C.
Cured Sunday afternoon on lower
State street, when two Ford touring
cars, both said to have been owned in
Hallowell, came together in head on
collision, which resulted in a serious
laceration on the leg of a man by the
name of Clark. who was riding in one
of the machines, and the demolishing
of the front ends of both cars.
The remarkable feature of the
crash, was that one or more OF the
several men concerned were not
killed, as it was a complete pileup of
the two light cars on the roadway.
The accident occurred on State street
at a point about opposite the resi-
dence of John Partridge, between
Glenwood street and the road lead
ing into Greenwood Spring. The cars
were proceeding in opposite direc-
lions. one reported to have been
owned and driven by ]. B. Farms
worth of Hallowell and containing
his brother in law, Mr.. Clark. The
other was said to have been operated
by James Golfer and contained be,
sides himself. Donald Hughes ana
Clifton Fuller.
It is believed that the steering gear
went wrong on the car proceeding up
the grade, and it shot diagonaliy
across the road directly into the path
of the car coming down the grade. A
man who saw the collision from
distance said that when the two ma
chimes came together the front ends
of both lifted into the air like buck
ing broncos and the Farnsworth ma
chine turned backward completely
over. Clark suffered severe lacera,
ton of the leg, but it was not deemed
necessary to take him to the hospitai.
The front wheels and axes OF both
Fords were practically cut from Dc
meath the chassis. the front mud
guards were badly smashed and the
windshields and frames absolutely
demolished. The roadway for a dis-
lance of several car lengths was nt-
erally strewn with shattered glass.
bolts. nuts and pieces of metal. IL
was necessary to use skids under the
front ends of both of the AUTOMOBILES
to haul them away from the place OIL
the accident. With the impact OF tne
cars it is believed that the occupants
were thrown clear and 1t was because
of this fact that the others tnan
clark did no suffer more serious IN
iuries than a severe shaking up.

400 People Enjoy Barn
Dance At A. 3. Mason Farm

A real old fashioned barn dance
was held Saturday evening IN the
new barn owned by A. B. Mason,
which was recently erected upon the
site Of the Mason farm on the North
Belfast road. Fully 400 hundred
people were present as guests OF Mr..
and Mrs. Mason and this novel enter
tainment furnished amusement Tor
ali. The dance was for the purpose
of christening the barn which re-
nIaces one lost by fire several months
ago. A.. a.
So large was the. crowd that the
dancers weer obliged to utilize a
platform over the top Of the tieup as
well as the main floor. Music was
furnished by Pierces four piece or
cbestra and both round and square
dances were enjoyed. Refreshments
of ice cream were served.
An electric lighting system in
stalled by the Central Maine Power
Co., especially for the dance added
greatly to the pleasure Of the occas-i
ion.

in front of the approaching car of
Mr.. Davis. Although Mr.. Davis was
driving at moderate rate Of speed
and applied his brakes as soon as
he saw the animal, he could not
bring the car to a stop before 1t hit
the COW. The COW was knocked
down. but the force of hitting the
animal as we'll as the sudden appli-
cation of the brakes, brought the
car to stop before the wheel
passed over her.
In his attempt to avoid striking
the COW. Mr.. Davis left the road and
his two right wheels dropped into a
four foot ditch. nearly overturning
the car, BY the aid of Mr.. Browns
horses and many willing hands the
car was finally placed back in the
road apparently none the worse for
the accident. except a bent mud
guard and broken headlight, Mr..
Davis and his wife, the only other
occupant of the car. were uninjured
although somewhat shaken up and
alarmed. The COW apparently es-
capped with slight scratches and
went to the barn.
