decision of the appellate court of the
District of Columbia, in the case of Samuel
Gompers and other officers of the
Federation of Labor. The labor unions
have been in the habit of publishing an
"unfair" list of dealers, whom "we don't
patronize." On this list the name of the
Buck's Stove and Range Company was
placed. The company stated in court that
by reason of this their sales had fallen
off one-half, and asked for an injunction
against Gompers and the other officers of
the union, to prevent the continuance of
mis. as we understand the matter, this
name was dropped from the "unfair" list,
but those men continued to use their influence
against the company. The trial
judge there upon sentenced them for contempt
of court, to imprisonment for six
six or twelve months. They appealed.
The appellate court last week sustained
the lower court.
The Point at Issue between the union
and the court is whether an order or
injunction can be lawfully issued by a
court, -which restrains freedom of speech
or of the press. The court enjoined them
from uttering or printing that which
would injure the business of the stove
company. They claimed that this would
be an infringement of their right of free
speech and therefore disregarded the injunction.
The decision of the appellate
court is that an injunction must be
obeyed until it is lawfully dissolved.
President Taft's trip through the South
has been a prudent one. He is laboring
for a unity of feeling between the people
of the two sections. In his speeches he
expressed his gratification that the name
of Jefferson Davis has been replaced
upon the corner stone of the Cabin John
bridge, near Washington City. The influence
of his trip is strongly in the interests
of harmony.
The Night Riders in Kentucky are doing
much mischief. They have sent notices
to various farmers to enter their
tobacco crnns in thp Hnrlov nnnl ?nH
on failure to comply, they are using the
torch. At Lexington. Ky.. last week, while
Thomas Stafford, a farmer was ill with
typhoid fever, the night riders burned
his barn and ten thousand dollars' worth
of tobacco in it.
The Price of Cotton during the week
has been above fifteen cents a pound.
The value of the cotton seed has also increased.
While part of this advance is
due to speculation, part of it is due to
the shortness of the crop. Is there more
profit to the farmer in a short cron ^f
cotton than in a full crop?
The Elections last week were peculiar.
In New York City the Tammany ticket
was badly defeated, probably through the
competition of the Hearst ticket. In
New England the Ifepubllcans won by
reduced majorities. At Cleveland, Ohio,
Tom Johnson, who has served four terms
as mayor, was defeated. In Kentucky

the legislature. Cincinnati has gone Republican.
In Indiana there were many
lyrmULi ailU VIUlOTieS.
The City Hall at New York is reported
as crumbling and as liable to fall at
any moment. All the courts have moved
their quarters; the building is abondoned
and the adjacent streets are roped off,
lest the building fall on foot passengers.
Heavy timber grilling has been placed on
Lafayette street, under which, the subway
passes, lest falling walls should crush
in the subway itself.
A New Locomotive has been invented.
The object is to evade the great loss of
power that is found in starting and stopping
the piston rod in the present locomotive.
In the new invention, steam is
raised, as now, by fire. This steam is
used to drive not a reciprocating engine,
but a turbine. The turbine is to generate
cieuiuvii/ ana me electricity is to act as
in the usual street car motor to pul^ the
locomotive.
The Burley Tobacco Pool is being attacked
by the farmers themselves. Some
of them have applied for a receiver.
They allege that after the tobacco was
sold the Burley company refused to pay
them their just proportion of the money
that was realized.
In Paris a scandalous suit has been
pending between Prince Bonl de Castellane
and his former wife, who was Anna
Gould, of New York. The suit was over
the control of their children. The court
decided that neither parent was justified
in claiming the children.

A Seventy-five Thousand Dollar Fine

Austin, Texas, upon the Security Oil Co.,
for violation of the anti-trust laws. The
Navarro Refining Co. was fined $1,300.
Roth companies have been ousted from

The Burley Tobacco Society of Kentucky

to the extent of $196,000. The Society

Of Dr. J. W. Newland, a nracticine nhv
sician at Bedford, Ind., it is reported that
he never rendered a bill to any patient
for his medical services, indeed, that he
kept no account books, simply accepting
what his patients chose to pay him. Yet
at his death his estate was worth flOO,000.
