THE fUPREME tVRT AND ITS DECISIONS. : There la still widespread misunder standing of the scope of the recent - decision of the Supreme Court of the United States In the North Caro- Una and Minnesota railroad case. Th primary points decided were (1) a that the Federal court had jurtsdlc- . tloo and (2) that a State may. not "V Impose penalties for the violation of .--'a law so excessive a to terrify a partaKgTlVP6r"to-the-xtt Ibat Jie ' will fear to test hi rights In the court, thus working, It may be, a "-.' dental of justice. The justness of the , ' passenger rates fixed by th States . named was not before the court for review and they were not, a some ' suppose, pronounced confiscatory, ;nof Was the right of a State to fix railroad rate denied. It will be seen that the railroads had the right to go -. Into either th State or the Federal court for -an adjudtcntlorr, and there was much complaint in North .. . Carolina that they chose th? latter Instead of the former forum. There I could have been no just complaint , against them that they should have resisted by any mean at their com . rnand the outrageous penalties laid down la the set. Discussing these matters The Progressive Farmer finds .j ; that neither party to the original (controversy 'was 'wholly right. It p' advert to the bad conduct of the ' rallroadsln many matters through- out rnitny :.yeara .and Argues-that. In . view of their behavior. "It Is not " strange that when the people of North Carolina sought to reduce charges to . ' what they thought a just rate, they used extreme measures to shackle their wily and powerful opponent. lW And then. It will be remembered, without waiting for a test to demon rr strata whether or not the rate, If con 'i jUnued, would be confiscatory, the . railroads rushed to the Federal courts to defeat tho expressed will t - of the people. And yet," It 'con- ; tlnues, "two wrongs dp not make a r . right, and the State should not at- tempt to answer dlsrespott of law - -with disrespect of law. Every State ' officer and every cltlxen I sworn to support the constitution and laws of i the T?nited Jtates no less than the ' eonstltutlon and laws of his own Btate. To call upon the people to Ig :i2.TfVtM decision of a United States Court 1 therefore no less a species of lawlessness than U would be to call !; pon tbem to Ignore a decision of a - State court. A JFderaJ judgelt !lhe Supreme Court of. the United ,.VsStatea, unimpeachable and unassall .able In Its Integrity, stands ready to ; J( correct him. The recent conflicts of .Federal and State authority In North fV. Carolina. . South Carolina, Alabama nd other Southern States, lend espe cial pertinence to these sui-estlons: h leaders of bur people would do i ' well to err on the side of an overly scrupulous respect jfor the courts rather than -encourage ' an dmlttl ': weakness In our Southern tempera- :.;mcnt.'' ' . . , This Is the point we are driving at t 'and in this connection make the fol- - lowing citation from a recent procla 'matlon by Mr. Samuel Gompers, - .president of th American Federation ' Of Labor: "Hold mass meetings on the evening of Aprjl 19 or 80, and t those meetings voice fully and nn mlstakably labor's protest against the - tTnlUd States Supreme Court decision which strips labor of the rights and liberties whlcWwe had Supposed Were guaranteed by th constitution." Th Supreme Court hat rendered no decl--rton stripping labor of any of ita rlghu and liberties or Infringing upon ' them In any degree. ; We leave The New Torlt Globe to answer: ; The decision to which Mr. Gomper refer Is Loew vs. Lawlor. lh o-ealled boycott decision banded down en reft rrsary tS by onanlmoo court. Does this . decision Uk away or even jnodify the privilege or right of labor as tby Mth rto bv beea recognised t Kot one or them. There Is not a Hn la snv way , sbrtdgtng tb Vght of , Ubor unions t crvani: t decide on a wage scats and eeetivetr-te 4rgiB-wftt ihetr riu'j i ver; to trJk singly or tn concert; - appoint officer and geats to rrnre-t- t them la eontroversles and to rdf the expulsion of members from the or rrlxat1on who da "not how to th gen eral w!Tl.

Tuts de oUton la no rspct wipe cot labor un- ion or interferes, with thalr lemtlnuu (auctions. ' . -- , .. :." The feature, of Loew vs. Lawlor la not hat It pronounces boycotting illegal. Boycotting never baa been - legal a in numerable 'judicial decision . hare t- eUred. In tlJs regard no new principle r Interpretation is introduced. The liber ties of lr. Gompers sad hi fellow are neither enlarged nor. restricted.. It has always been against th. law for a eet o men te conspire together for th injury at another.'? -v-rn-- ;":??. ':'- . . But. Irrespective of th f act.i that the court In this case known as the Danbury hat case rannouneed 'no new principle, "broke no new gTOond" th suggestion of mass meetings to denounce or protest against a decision of the Supreme Court of the. United State, "unimpeachable and.-, unassail able In " Ita Integrity, lsJ monstrous. and dangerooaly near encouragement of anarchy. That body may or 'may not always be right;- that is not for laymen, of whom Mr. Gomper 4 one, to say. It decision In any matter Is the Jaw and that la enough. Men may not talk contemptuously or flippantly of Its decisions, and hold themselves guiltless. When confidence In It Is destroyed we are gone,-. It is the last refuge of the people, the final bulwark -our Institutions,- and rearsnca-ot It Is one of the highest duties of the American cltlien. Our people should learn this. lesson well. : ' F:FFECT OF THE- EMPLOYERS' LIABILITY BILL. . The employers' Federal liability bill, which has been enacted.. Into law with practical ' unanimity, pos sesses an importance more ap parent than real. It contemplates the Increase, In certain respects, of inter State railroads' liability for ' the death or lesser personal Injury of their employes. To this end it abol ishes the common-law rule which bar recovery for injuries caused by the negligence of a fellow-servant or where contributory negligence Is shown on the part of the person in jured;. In the latter case, however, such negligence may still be taken into consideration In determining the amount of damages. The bill Is in tended to take the place of a law enacted last June but declared un constitutional by the United States Supreme Court on the ground that It applied to Inter-State carriers as such rsther than merely to the Inter-State portion of their business; hence. Congress having power only over sctual "Inter-State commerce," too much had been attempted. It Is gen erally believed that the new law will likewise be declared unconstitutional. and both parties In Congress are re garded as having simply perpetrated a; piece of political buncombe for the "labor vote's" benefit. If, contrary to expectation, the Supreme Court Interposes no veto, damage suits against railroads will be considerably ffected In some parts of the coun try and scarcely affected at all In others. Here In North Carolina and most Southern States, where tho fel lowrjervant. rule-has -long- since Hweir abollshed by Legislatures and the courts have, reduced contributory negligence to extremely small propor tions, hardly any change would come about. Only where State law as ad ministered In State courts and now adhered to In Federal courts provides otherwise would employes gain any thing practical. , In such States, the employer's liability under Federal law being greater than that under State law Instead of the same. Fed eral courts would find their popu larity with suitors very much. In creased. It la from these States, of course, thst the measure's later his tory will be watched by railroad em ployers and employes with most at?, tentlon. FOOLISH TALK OP WAR.

If we will let Japan alone Japan will eave us alone; but the pacific purposes of the little empire will not be strengthened by constant nagging of It; by reit erated charges that It Intends to pre cipitate a war when there Is no evi dence that it . has any such Intention at all.

Legislation enacted at the close of th world-wide financial depression lo the 'nineties mad It unlawful for any on to buy or sell for future de livery except a registered stock bro ker; and contracts mad by ajl other persons were declared void. Dealing for monthly account In the aeven most Important Industrial, and mining; stocks was prohibited. Perhaps most important of all was a downright pro vision against th sale or purchase of . wheat and rye for .future dellv ery. In no respect did this legist Uon-work -successfully" Stock- were till promiscuously bought and sold on margin, the only change being thai a premium was put upon dls- onesty by the option of repudia tion. The stocks In which dealings were prohibited fluctuated, for that ery reason, far more widely than before. Worst failure of all was the provision in regard to crops. Prices of grain were much depressed at the time the crop was 'marketed and correspondingly , Inflated when it be came exhausted In the spring, the result being, since grain was naturally xported when cheap and' Imported when dear, that German farmers r celved unduly small prices and Ger man miller and consumers paid un- uly high prices. The steadying In- uonce of exchanges, which their advocates urge as the chief point in their favor, here proved to be of really Indispensable service. German farmers soon became thoroughly' anx ious to have th much-cursed ex changes back again. Reforms sre certainly needed in the exchanges of-thl-country and they may be attainable only, through legislation, but the way is so . far from clear and the Interests at stake a re so .

' From the appeal sent out1 from Charlotte to the -voters of Mecklen burg county, and the 6tate at lare. na tn ionr list or aistmguisnea names attached to it It would appear as if Mr. Craig would have a walk over In th county. - But once upon a time th Lord said to one of His prophets, ."I have left me neven thousand In Iral, all th kna which have not bowed unto Baal." and ther are yet scores and hundreds In Mecklenburg who stand for Mr. ICitchln and will not allow th wool nulled vr their . ' by a long list of names. It matters not how worthy or waited - their posl tlona . - To an unbiased mind the appeal smacks of weakness and a lack of force upon Its face, for If Mr. Craig Is a man of such exalted worth and distinguished ability. It looks a little strange that he chould have served th .cauasoJL-X)emocracy- for twenty year jnritho ut Jielng warded orre i. eelving proper recognition - for tne service rendered. .'And, too, In the faoe of th fact that so many others hav fought and won. During these twenty years scores have been hon ored with positions as Congressmen, Senators, judge Governors, etc. Three times Mr. Craig has entered th field of conflict, twice for Congress and one for United States Senator, only to go down In defeat. - To say the least of It It looks Ilk a bad bit of policy that a man who has never lost a battle, but who has always led his force to victory, must be set aside to honor a man who has been failure.- It would seem that there was something wrong with his winning -power or ability to convince his countrymen of his Intrinsic worth. , In ISM Mr. Kitchin entered the political arena in his district -with a large Republican majority to over come, and a man for his competitor who had never met defeat and who as a campaigner) had no superior in his party. Mr, Kltchtn - not only turned the' tide which - was against him, but redeemed hi district two year in advance of the general over throw of Republican rule Jn th Stat and carried it for Imocrcr when e wry other district went Republi can. - - - ' - , .

Mr. Kitchen has not nly goo upon th field of conflict and won victory after victory, but hss never yet knoern defeat - A Republican as well aa a Democrat la admired if he has th power to win In an opn field of battle.
