FREE SPEECH AND THE COURTS.
There is a greater issue involved
in the cases of Samuel Gompers. John,
Mitchell and Frank Morrison than tho
rights of trades unions and the ef
fects of "government by injunction."
True, the country is interested keenly
In the final disposal of the imprison
ment sentences, but of more direct,
personal importance is the bearing
which a ruling of the United States
Supreme Court on these cases will
have upon the right of free speech.
It must be remembered that the
right of free speech as a fundamental
principle is not called into question.
The issue Is the extent to which
courts may prohibit public utterances
antagonistic to their official rulings.
There is a case in Ohio which touch
es the same point. A lawyer de
nounced the official acts of a Judge
who was a candidate for re-election
and was disbarred for it. The reason
advanced was that as an attorney he
was technically an officer of the court
and should be punished for lowering
its dignity by violent criticism of one
of its judges. He takes the ground
that he is first of all a citizen and
as such has the right to challenge
any public official's acts.
It is generally understood that the
three labor leaders will carry their
cases to the United States Supreme
Court. They surely ought to do it
as a duty to their fellow citizens. It
would be well if the Ohio case were
also taken to that high tribunal. The
real issue transcends the wel
fare of the men involved. There is
no doubt Gompers. Mitchell. Morrison
and the Ohio lawyer believe thorough
ly that they were acting under their
rights as citizens. If the court of
last resort decides against the labor
leaders it is reasonably certain that
the President will exercise his par
doning power and annul the sentence
The attorney will eventually be re
admitted to the bar unless his con
duct in other respects prohibits. What
the country awaits is the Supreme
Court '8 interpretation of the consti
tutional right of free speech as it
may be affected by the decrees of the
courts. 't?l!
There can be no cause for appre
hension or hysterics, whatever the
final Judgement may be. It is incon
ceivable that the people of the United
States will be satisfied with any cur
tailment of free speech not called
for by the common welfare. If It is
found that such a state of affairs
has been brought by a multiplicity of
laws and the development of court
procedure, they have their remedy at
their hands. The government is still
"of the people and by the people"
to the full extent they choose to
make It so. ? Cleveland Leader.
From present appearances the dele
gate election next fall will be at
least a three cornered fight if not
still more complicated. The republic
ans are booming McGinn, the demo
crats, Strong, and Wlckersham refuses
to be forced out of the fight. Even
Bhould the republican forces, which
have been badly scattered In former
contests, be brought into line, there
Is a serious question whether the
party could win out. There would be
more hope if Wickersham would with
draw, or, as has been suggested, a
fusion could be effected with the
democrats. Then again, there is the
Question of home rule to consider.
The candidates who oppose it, no
matter what his politics may be, will
have an up hill fight! ? Douglas Inl
and News.
The way to encourage home trading
la to use the local daily newspapers
every day in the year.
Alaska has many detractors, even
among her own people, but It's a
noticeable fact, nevertheless, that the
old timers keep coming back to the
couutry.
And he said unto them, the Sabbath
was made for man, and not man for
Sabbath.? Mark, 2?27.

THE MEASURE OF MAN.
E who espouses perfection
Must follow the threefold plan
Of soul and mind and body
To compass tho stature of man.
For deep In tho primal substance.
With power nnd purpose and pols*
An order under tho chaos.
A music beneath the noise?
The urgo of n secret paMcnco
Throbbed Into rhythm and form
Till Instinct attained to vision
And the sentient clay grew warm.
For sense was a smoldering tire
And spirit, n breath of air
Blowing out of tho darkness.
Fostering reason's flare.
By loving. learning and doing
Being must pass and climb
To goodness, to truth, to beauty.
Through energy, space and time;
Out of tho Inflnito essence.
For the eternal employ.
Fashioning. freeing ond kindling.
Symmetry, wisdom and Joy.
Wherefore the triuno dominion?
Religion, science and art?
I We may not disrupt nor divide,
I Setting Its kingdoms apart,
1 But ever, with glowing ardor
After the ancient plan,
1 Build tho love and tho rapture
Into th? life of man.

THE OASIS OF LOVE
Tho mind's eyo shows us love as
tlie oasis la the Sahara of life; so,
together, two set out to seek the
haven of rest in the great Journey.
But, as the travelers approach, their
paradlso recedes; In just such rnea
suro as tho pilgrims hasten, their
Mecca retreats. Love is a. witching
chimera ? life's most beautiful optical
illusion. ? December Smart Set.

After reading the public statement
of this fellow-sufferer given below,
you must come to this conclusion:
A remedy which cured years ago,
which has kept the kidneys in good
health sLnco, can be relied upon to
perform the name work In other cas
es. Read this:
R. C. Fonton, 3903 N. Cheyenne St.,
Tacoma, Wash., says: "I gave a state
meat for publication, telling of my ex
perience with Doans Kidney Pills som
years ago and I am now pleased to
confirm all I then said in their favor.
1 was afflicted with kidney trouble
and finally I became so bad off that
1 was obliged to give up my work.
1 had dull, heavy pains through my
kidneys and on one occasion I was
confined to my bod for almost a
? month. Tho unnatural condition of
tho kidney socretlons also plainly de
noted that my kidneys needed atten
tion. Whon I learned of Doan's Kid
ney Pills, I procured a box and be
gan their use. I felt great relief
from the first and before long my
trouble was entirely disposed of. I
have since had no return of kidney
complaint"
