Study color effects if you would have
a really beautiful garden. The loveli

sadly. Clear reds und mugentas, for
Instance, should not be close neigh

Know the plants as you would peo
ple if you would have tlieni respond
fully. Find out their habits, their
likes and dislikes. The study Is one
of unfailing pleasure, and it pays rich
interest in perpetual bloom.
Linnia plants are good for low hedges.
Plants a foot and a half apart will soon
run branches together, niul the foliage
is dense from the ground up. The
flowers are almost as brilliant us those
of the dahlia and are produced freely
from July to late October.
The Pennsylvania legislature unan
imously passed a resolution at the two
last sessions declaring in favor of the
election of United States senators by
the vote of the people. What have the
people now to say of Quay and Pen
rose, who both dodged the vote on the
question? It is easy to understand
why such senators are not willing to
risk their ease with the people, but, if
the people have any spunk they will
call on them to explain why they re
fused to obey their wishes as expressed
by their representatives in the legis
lature. Penrose not only refused to
support the measure, but attached an
amendment to make sure of killing it.
If the citizens of Pennsylvania mean
anything when they say through their
newspapers and their representatives
that they want their senators to sup
port a bill to allow the people of the
United States to be allowed to vote on
the question of electing senators they
will take the opportunity this fall to
resent the insult of Quay and his man

the bill recommended but actually ridi
culing It.

JACKSON AND KELLER
A PAIR OF LABOR UNION HATERS
ON THE BENCH.,
Calling Men IntruNted With Leader
ship by Their Fellown "Vampires"
lit Neither Law Nor Manners.
Would Starve Strikers.
The "vampire" speech made by
Judge Jackson of West Virginia when
he fixed extreme penalties 011 the
labor representatives who were work
ing for their order is one of those ut
terances that have in them the ele
ments of all sorts of dissatisfaction
and disturbance.
Periodically there conies to the bench
a man who is absolutely out of sym
pathy with the spirit of his time, and
such a one Is very likely to regard his
elevation to the position as a warrant
for assuming that he is privileged to
hector and scold as well as to fix pen
alties and decide disputes.
These are the Judges who are most
given to using their power of commit
ment for contempt of court.
The men Judge Jackson has sent to
Jail for periods of two and three
months disregarded the injunction that
forbade them to persuade men to Join
a labor union. It will be a long time
before America is reudy to accept the
ruling of this court that talking to the
employees of a particular concern Is an
offense so grave that a sweeping in
junction can make it contempt of
court
That such a ruling Is of use to the
Clarksburg Fuel company Is obvious,
and there have been Judges who have
found warrant of law for prohibiting
anything that rich corporatious found
to their disadvantage.
Does anybody believe that If the
Miners' union applied to this or any
other Judge for an injunction prohibit
ing the Clarksburg Fuel company
from inducing its employees to remain
outside the union tliey would get even
a hearing?
The description of the union organ
izers as "vampires that live and fatten
on the honest labor of the coal miners
of the country * * * and have nothing
In common with the people who are
employed in the mines of the Clarks
burg Fuel company" is part of Judge
Jackson's tirade.
Certainly the dignity of the courts is
more Jeopardized by such a revelation
of temper and bias on the part of a
judge than it ever could he by the dis
regard of ids iujunctions.
The lawyers who practice before
Judge Jackson "have nothing lu com
mon" with the litigants they repre
sent, but lie would hardly describe
them as vampires.
The walking delegates are a part of
the scheme of unionizing labor—u
scheme that has done more for the
betterment of conditions among those
who toil than any other element of
our civilization. Without their unions
the employees of any corporation are
utterly at its mercy. Uy concerted ac
tion they can make a stand against in
justice that they never could do as in
dividuals. Without the organizers
there would be no unions, a situation
that would doubtless satisfy the own
ers of coal mines and possibly Judge
Jackson, hut one that would be mel
ancholy for the men who have to work
with their hands.
The Inst word ns to government by
injunction has not been spoken in this
country by any means.
The power to punish for contempt
of court was given judges ns a pro
tection to themselves at their ses
sions. It was never meant to create
new crimes or to furnish a weapon
for employers as against their men.
There is another aspect of this case.
Every person before a court is required
to treat that court with respect and
courtesy. The obligation of the par
ticular cltlten who happens to be
chosen to sit in Judgment on his fel
lows to treat others with respect and
courtesy is equally binding. The judge,
who is there to decide the rights and
wrongs of disputes and administer the
law generally, is neither a preacher
nor a professor of morals. Sermons
and lessons are as far from bis duties
as abuse and tyranny.
Calling men vampires because they
are intrusted by their fellows with a
function of which Judge Jackson dis
approves is neither law nor manners.
One more crime bos been added to
the catalogue.
Judge Jackson by his injunctions
made it a punishable offense to ask a
coal miner to join a labor union, and
now Judge Keller, another West Vir
ginia Jurist, has issued injunctions for
bidding the establishment of strike
camps, which are established in con
nection with the purchase and distri
bution of food for the striking miners.
The lawbreakiug railroads, which
mine coal illegally and in deilance of
their charters, are to be congratulated
on the presence on the bench of two
such Convenient justices as these.
If they do not win the strike, it will
not be the fault of Judge Jackson und
Judge Keller.
The splendid response of the union
conference in the matter of strike ben
efits made it impossible for the coal
operators to carry out their beneficent
scheme of starving the strikers into
abandoning their union, so this in
junction, directed at the leaders of the
national executive committee and oth
ers charged with the duty of providing
supplies for the men who are out on
strike, comes along in the very nick
of time.
Tlie encroachment on the liberty of
the miners is greater with every ex
ample of this misuse of the power of
the federal injunction.
There was a time In the history of
the strugglo between capltul and its
employees that It was a serious penal
offense for a man to accept or demand
more than a rate of wages so low that
It seems incredible that workmen were
able to live at all. It was no mere
make believe law either and was but
tressed by another that made it pun
ishable by Imprisonment to refuse to
work at the prevailing rate.
It was from this condition of slavery
that labor unions rescued the men who
do the world's work.
The Injunction principle would again
bind the hands of labor and make It
absolutely dependent on the generosity
of employers.
It Is not for the law to say that men
shall not Join unions for their mutual
benefit or that they shall not endeavor
to get others to Join them or that they
shall not form camps or do anything
else that is not In itself unlawful, and
when the law is turned and bent to
make these things criminal, to the end
that some man or set of men may hire
workers cheaply, there is engendered a
contempt for laws that may not al
ways be conllned to the Judge made
rulings.
The progress of labor has been over
the wrecks of Just such obstacles as
these, and It Is absurd to suppose that
this progress can be halted now. The
injunctions of Judge Jackson and
Judge Keller will never become prece
dents. Whether they are sustained
for the present or not, they will soon
be overruled by the court of public
opinion, against the decisions of which
no injustice can stand In a free coun
try.
Within a generation these Injunc
tions will be as great curiosities in the
history of the struggle for better con
ditions for laboring men as the old law
referred to above that made It a crime
to refuse work for a small and arbi
trarily set rate of wages.
The law Is what the people make It,
and the people of the United States
will never be party to the erection of
sueli tyrannical and one sided rulings
as these Into part of the legal system.

Qualification!* of Rullroad Men.
Ileports say that Bralcemaii Lee Fer
ryman was killed in a rear end colli
sion at Wenntchee while asleep ill the
caboose and that ho had been on duty
eighty hours.
Surely this wns no excuse for ills be
ing asleep when he should have been
out protecting his train. Worklngmen
are supposed to work, not to sleep. No
doubt that if ho had attended strictly
to business and kept from being killed
ho could have obtained permission from
tlie company in a day or two more to
have taken eight hours' rest.
About three-fourths of the railroad
accidents occur because employees in
sist on becoming careless after they
have worked thirty or forty consecu
tive hours. There should ho n proper
commission appointed to examine men
for these very responsible positions
and no applicant be granted a position
unless lie can demonstrate that he can
work at least a week on cold lunch
without sleep.—Seattle Building Trades
Bulletin.
Will Enforce Allen Lnlior Law.
A Washington dispatch says that In
structions for the strict enforcement
of the alien contract labor law have
been given by Commissioner Sargent
to the immigration agents at ail ports.
Tills will ho good news to the labor
ing world, as for more than a year the
contract labor law has been almost a
dead letter owing to the luck of har
mong among treasury oflleluls. All
friction lias been removed, and there
Is now perfect accord. Quite a largo
number of alien contruct laborers have
already been deported.
There can lie no appeal to the courts
from the decision of the immigration
commissioners, and a writ of habeas
corpus will not lie. The only oilielal
wlio can overrule the commission Is
the secretary of the treasury, to whom
uu uppeal must be made.

Iu an address at a picnic of the San
Francisco union eloakmakcrs Samuel
Uompers said:
"I have bad experience with the
eloakmakcrs, and, having participated
in their struggles, there Is a word of
admonition that I want to administer.
I admire your courage, and I want to
say that the eloakmakcrs have shown
the greatest courage and heroism, al
ternating with the greatest weakness
and lack of lldclity to one another. I
have seen thein go hungry, I have seen
them burn the chairs and tables of
their homes for warmth, I have seen
them sleep at night on the floor of the
union headquarters, and then, when
they have won their fight for more pay
and shorter hours, I have seen them
desert the union."
AfcaliiNt Child Labor.
The executive council of the Ameri
can Federation of Labor, In session at
San Francisco, has adopted a resolu
tion supporting any legislation having
for its purpose the abolition of child
labor In states where such laws do not
now exist.
Another resolution declares the In
tention of the council to press the en
actment of laws abolishing prison la
bor wherevor it comes into competition
with free labor.
Plutocracy's Hero.
Our aristocracy today is a plutocra
cy. Neither the bravery of a soldier
uor a long scries of ancestors, hut the
money bag, confers social distinction of
the highest order. The most success
ful money maker is the hero of our
commercial age. In a parasitical stage
of civilization the aristocracy must
necessarily consist of parasites, with
the most successful parasite considered
as a hero.—lsador Lndoff.
Split the Difference.
The strike of HUO boiler makers em
ployed by the Chicago and Northwest

been settled. The men will receive
one-half the iucrease In wages asked
for, or about 6 per cent
WOMAN AND FASHION
A StylUli Linen Gown.
The gown shown in the sketch is of
light green linen trimmed with strap
pings of the same, white lace and white
pearl buttons. The skirt is adorned
with spaced perpendicular strappings
and a deep flounce encircled with
LIGHT GREEN LINEN,
strappings. The bodice has perpendic
ular strappings at the top and bottom
and horizontal ones through the center,
the latter finished 011 either side of the
front with pearl buttons. The collar
is lace, the belt black taffeta, and the
sleeves are trimmed to match the
blouse.—Philadelphia Ledger.
IlumorN of Tilings to Come.
Many of the skirts now made In the
empire style open at the sides, like
those worn by the Greeks and Romans
of ancient days, and we may ere long
come to peplums. The most tender
colorings only are permissible.
The fashionable dressmakers are ran
sacking libraries for sketches of dress
es worn by the Empress Josephine and
her sisters-in-law. Josephine was one
of the most extravagant of women,
never considered the cost or means of
payment and was continually in debt.
There Is an attempt to revive the
classic sandal, the sole fastened to the
foot by ribbons crossing and repress
ing over the foot and leg. Indeed, it
is already coming In for morning wear
In the boudoir as a means of health
and beauty for the feet.
The Ilntton Dtchm Craic.
Parisian man milliners are responsi
ble for the button dress craze which is
now taking possession of American wo
men. The foremost dressmakers of
the French capital, following the lead
ership of Francis, created a demand
for the tailor made summer gown. To
take away the plainness of the dress
one milliner adopted the Idea of having
strappings of the same material or of
colors prettily combined and finished
these off with buttons.
The button effect was an Instant suc
cess, so much so that the man mil
liners of Paris boldly enlarged the no
tion, placing buttons wherever they
could be attached without spoiling the
ensemble of the creation.

silk slip, with frills of lace, sash and

Tlie Severe Shirt Waists.
The only severe shirt waists that
seem to find favor this year are those
made of fine madras or linen with
rows of little tucks at the shoulder,
the tucks stitched down to below the
bust, with small bishop sleeves, gath
ered into a narrow cuff which is fas
tened with two pearl buttons or with
sleeve links, as preferred. These are
certainly very severe, but they are well
made and must be well made to be
smart, and arc rather a comfort in
their contrnst to the more elaborate
ones which are worn with every varie
ty of gown.
