TAFT ON LABOR INJUNCTIONS.
In speaking before a large audience
at Chicago Thursday night. Presid
ent Taft praised the work of the
labor unions and stated that he be
lieved in the past the cause of labor
has suffered from the abuse of the
injunction power of the courts. He
added that the present injunction
laws are unfair to labor and that he
would recommend that congress enact
legislation changing this state of
affairs.
This is certainly a step in the
right direction and one that will go
far towards establishing Taft in popu
lar favor if he consummates his pro
mise. Any observer of the constant
friction between labor and capital Is
aware that manufacturing interests
or employres rarely have any diffi
culty in securing restraining orders
prohibiting their men from this, that
and the other thing. The men do
not seem to have the same recourse.
It Is this condition which has led to
so much violence and caused the higtn
er federal courts to be looked upon
vlth contempt by a greet portion of
the working classes. If Taft can
remedy the existing conditions he will
have done much to abolish one of the
greatest abuses of our Judicial system*
THE GOOD OLD DAYS.
In good oM days knights went their
ways, on armored steeds, equipped
for battle; they rescu?l maids in
sylvan shades, and sometimes stole
each other's cattle. With fire and
(word, they ripped and roared on manjj
a wild and strange excursion; to
cross a moat and cut a throat was
Quite a popular diversion. These men
of wrath ne'er took a bath, or chang
ed their sheet-iron under clothing;
they couldn't read the simplest scree**
?nd viewed the man who could with
loathing. And when a knight was
lovesick quite, the plan of chivalry
he'd follow; he'd watch his chance
and then ad ranee, and steal the wo
man from her wallow. Those were
the days, those were the ways, im
mortalized by poets frantic, the rhym
ers stale, who still bewail the pas
sing of the age romantic. O, let
them yawp! I would not swap one
modern day for ancient ages! I
would not give this hour I live for
all the time in hlst'ry's pages! I do
cot pine for gore in mine, 1 do not
yearn to wade In slaughter; and whed
I sighed to have a bride, I asked her
daddy for his daughter; 'twould do
me hurt to wear a shirt of metal with
a welded collar; I love the life de
void of strife ? so let romantic poets
holler! ? Walt Mason.
Yet each man kills the thing he loves.
By each let this be heard,
Some do it with a bitter look.
Some with a flattering word.
The coward does It with a kiss,
The brave man with a sword.
? Oscar Wilde.
Judge Thomas Lyons will forfeit
the confidence of the people of the
First district If he retains Henry
Shattuck as clerk of the court. Shat
tuck's unfitness for the position has
been thoroughly demonstrated.
It's about time for Theodore Roose
velt to emerge from Darkest Africa
and settle the controversy which is
raging about the discovery of the nortti
pole by calling one of the claimants
a "nature faker."
To have known a great and ex
alted love and have it fade from
your grasp and flee as a shadow,
living only in memory, Is the high
est good. ? A. Comte.
Let him kiss me with the kisses of
his mouth: tor thy love is better than
wine. ? Song of Solomon, Chapter 1 ? 2
