SATURDAY AUGUST Iff

Two Views of the InjunctionWhile President Gompers of the Amer

ican Federation of Labor was arguingagainst the use of the injunction in labordisputes before the committee on laborlaws of the Massachusetts legislatureSecretary Taft was defending the injunc-

tion in Oklahoma The contrast betweenthe view of the statesman and Jurist andthat of the labor leader is instructive

Employers who think they are going tostop strikes through Injunctions are livingin a fools paradise declared Mr Gomperu to the Massachusetts legislators Hewent n to this affect

Injunctions haw grown fro A Httte iMOeasirething to the present day htMtktt aoftk wMoh en-

tions Laborers fed tfcatjheae injunctions art is-

sued to shackle them daring a tfiMt between

end tbrfr emplojera

On the other hand Mr Taft in hisOklahoma City speech defended the writof Injunction as protective of the rightsof both rich and poor He upheld the useof the injunction to protect a mans busi-ness from the lawless acts of men whointerfere with It and denied that the injunction deprived the workingman of theright of trial by jury No such right hesaid existed in equity casos Though theSecretary knew of no case in which thefinding of the court as to the violation ofan injunction against members of laborunions was unjust yet he admitted thatthere was injustice in granting an injunction at the application ot attorneysfor an employer on ex pane evidencewhich evidence subsequently turned outto be untrue appeared to favor thelegislation recommended by PresidentRoosevelt providing that no ex parte Injunction be issued in any case a provi-sion that was to fact in the Federalstatutes some years ago but was re-pealed Mr Taft then went on to showhow the injunction might be applied torestrain the unscrupulous acts of laborunions Admitting the legality of labororganisations and the right to strike MrTaft said

will be remembered that Mr Taftwhen judge of the United States CircuitCourt made use of this formidableweapon In two notable cases wherestrikes of railway employes threatened toInterfere with interstate commerce Inboth cases Mr Taft upheld the right ofworkers to organize and to strike but restrained their organizations from actionscollateral to strikes but not directly in-

volving the question of wages or otherterms of employment His decisions inthese cases have become classic but itis plain that Mr Gompers accepts neithertheir law nor Mr Tafts method of

them

Banking and TradeThe recent call of the Comptroller of

the Currency for tbe condition of the na-tional banks was awaited with some apprehension In the minds of the timid forfear it Wia7 i veal some hidden weakness In the countrys banking institutionsStatements now being published show thefutility of this fear for national bankreports to the Comptroller Indicate ahealthy condition of banking resourcesand a generous Increase In banking busi-ness

As may be seen from an examination ofthe reports of local institutions appear-ing in Tho Washington Herald the beaksat the National Capital are sharing fullyin the general prosperity Notwithstand-ing the normal midsummer dullness sev-eral of the more importaat show a liberalexpansion of loans in spite of the cus-tomary shrtekafo of deposits at thistime of the year Banking reserves arestrong and welt within the statutory

It is one of the host indications of theessential soundness of our national prosperity that the beaks have not been ad-

versely affected by the nearpanics thathave excited Wall street They havetaken care of their regular customers asusual and their deposits do not show thedrain that would be one of the first con-

sequences of a real financial panic whenmoney usually goes into hiding Suchfinancial stringency as is reel is beingrelieved by Secretary Cortetyous plans ofdepositing customs receipts weekly inthose centers of population where moneyis most needed tor legitimate purposesand the whole financial structure is set

Hlchard MansfieldThe untimely death of Richard Mans-

field yesterday removes from the Ameri-can stage one of Its most commandingfigures His death may be said in feetto mark the closing of an epoch In thegrowth of the American drama Fromthe beginning there has always been onedominant figure Forrest McCulioughHaekett Booth Jefferson and in a cer-tain degree Richard Mansfield was thelegitimate successor of these It is doubt-ful perhaps whether even his meat en-

thusiastic admirers would claim for himthat he was as talented an actor asmoving a figure or possessed to thateminent degree the superabundant geniuswhich distinguished his predecessorsBut it is undoubted that he won the position of the foremost American actorof lois time and that his passing leaves-a void which an outlook among his contemporaries shows no prospect of beingadequately filled

The career of Richard Mansfield ex-

emplified in a marked degree the op-

portunity offered by the stags for a manto rise by his own genius He camerightfully by his liking for the stage forhis mother was the celebrated operasinger Emma Rudersdorft Educated inGermany and Switzerland he came tothis country to take a position In a drygoods store in Boston and he eked outhis wage there by painting water colorswhich did not command a ready sale Heplayed and sang to audiences at amateurentertainments and in London in 1ST9 heattracted the attention of W S Gilbert

who gave him his first professional en-gagement In the opera H M S Pinafore He returned to this country In1SS3 as a singer In an opera companyand shortly afterward became a memberof A M Palmers famous company atthe Union Square Theater It was herethat he was intrusted with tho roll ofBaron Chevrlal In A Parisian Romancea part which the other actors in thecompany had scorned but which Mans-field by the sheer force of his geniusmade the triumph of the piece

Although famous he did not become astar until some time later 1356 when hegave up the part of Koko in TheMikado to play Prince Karl Laterhe added Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde tohis repertoire and soon after receivingan invitation from Henry Irving tooccupy tho Lyceum Theater in Londonhe made his first essay in Shakespearean

From that time on Ids career as a starand as the leading American actor wasassured There followed in quick succession the productions of Beau Brummel Den Juan Nero Ten Thousand a Year The Scarlet LetterMerchant of Venice Arms and theMan Napoleon King of Peru

Rodlon the Student Castle SorobrasThe Devils Disciple The First Vio-

lin Cyrano de Bergerac Henry VBeaucaire and Julius Caesar His

later essays in highclass drama wereless successful His Don Curiosthough a fine production was unsatis-factory either from an acting or a popu-lar point of view and his Peer Gyntof last year a worthy effort to accentpUsh an almost impossible task was sounsatisfactory it was withdrawn-

It Is probable that Mansfields famewill rest on his daring and genius as amanager rather than as an actor Hewas not endowed as wore most of hispredecessors with the advantages of phy-sique or voice and If he succeeded at allit was In spite of obvious disadvantagesBut he had the very highest Ideals andhe strove for them manfully through

and uphill career He said onceA high devotion to my profession is

bound eventually to bo appreciated andhonored Careless genius may prosper fora day but It Is steady and untiring talentwhich molds the stage and evolves thedramatic ideals of the race

Those ideals he kept steadily In viewadverse criticism halted him not He spentfortunes to carry out his Ideas of whatwas fitting he surrounded himself withthe best players of his time and he calledto his aid the best genius of the sc9nlcartist and Invited the aid of poets Hisinfluence on the American stage has been

CORPORATIONS AND COURTS

Ilcnnons for tIme Feeling Against theFederal Judiciary

Fram the St Loofc KepeMfc

Whenever the corporation which by amere fiction te held to be a nonresident-Is sued it removes its oaR te tho Fed-eral court If the amount involved islarge enough and the inspiration to theremoval may be nothing more than toincrease the expense and dilncuity of thelitigation to the plaintiff These abusesby the companies associated in theirpractical manifestations with the Federalcourts are responsible for the feelingagainst those courts and have broughtabout by Western and Southern Statesthe people ef which have been more es-

pecially the victims of tbe abuses en-

actments intended to prevent corpora-tions essentially domestic as much so infact as any corporation can be althoughnominally foreign from removing theirlitigation with residents to the Federalcourts

There te a MibstaaUal justice underly-ing those enactments They may someinstances go too far It may be thatwhere rights secured by the Federal Con-

stitution are Involved the same chokeof forums should be accorded to corpo-

rations as to individuate The genesishowever of the present feeling againstcorporation resort to Federal courts tein the gross abuse of past privileges bythe corporations themselves Now andthen here and these a Federal judge

I mar have given occasion for distrust ofhimself but such instances have beenrare and the Federal judiciary have uni-

formly maintained a high standard ofcharacter and conduct and they havenot beers responsible for the excessive usestud consequent abuse of the privilege-of removal to their courts There shouldnot be and when the boat of resentmentfor the put has died away there willnot be any popular objection to the ex-

ercise of jurisdiction by them in any casewithin the spirit of the constitutionalprovisions from which they draw theirauthority

THE OPTIMIST

around us and every thought whloh Isthrown off Into the world alters it by somuch We cannot think evil without dis-

tributing an evil influence and If ourthoughts are hopefully fixed on highIdeals we are bound to radiate an influ-ence that will lead to high ambitionslofty strivings and aiming at great ends

TennysonI am part of all that I hare sect

And so are we all for whether we willit or not the influences which surround-us are bound to have subtle but no leasstrong effect upon our characters-

We all recognize how vital al farreaching the lives of good men are howthe influence they have exerted goes onand on long years after they have passedaway As Samuel Smiles said Thecareer of a great man remains an endur-ing monument of human energy Theman dies and disappears but his thoughtsand acts survive and leave an indeliblestamp upon his race So much for thedead But what about the living influ-

ence It te around us all the time and itIs partly within our power to reject it oraccept 1L Once we come to recognizehow important to our own conduct arethe Influences that surround us it is possible for us in a certain degree at leastto avoid the ill and seek out the goodLew Wallace wrote

WOMEN IN HOTELS

Protect Against Their Exclanion-WithontwUuIe Escort

As our cities become more and moreBuropeaniced women are treated withgreater contempt and injustice A hardship of especial barbarity is the refusal togive food or lodging to a lady unless shehas a gentleman attache ThIS meansthat a young and inexperienced womanarriving late in a strange city is liableto have to walk the streets all night ortake refuge in some disreputable place orgo to the tado house On account ofthis hotels especially for women nave re-

cently been opened but these areand often inconveniently situated

We know of a girl a college graduatewho on account of a delayed train ar-

rived in New York City late at nightNotwithstanding the facts that she wasmanifestly refined and respectable andhad the beet of credentials stud that theporter front the station went with her toexplain the circumstances no firstclasshotel would give her shelter and she hadto go to a house of lower grade whereshe was kept wake all night by thenoisy swearing crowd of men in the bar-room just across the thin partition Thereought to be a law revoking the licenseof a hotel or restaurant that refuses toreceive women on the same terms as menA still more efficient measure would befor all selfrtspecting women to refuseto patronize even with masculine accom-paniment any place that insults theirsex by such a rule

Why the Souta Is DemocraticFrom the Htmtea Post

The Southern masses vote the Demo-cratic ticket because they favor Demo-cratic policies They do not believe inthe Republican theory of taxation northe doctrine of protection They do notbelieve in colonialism They do not be-lieve in expensive governments nor do

believe in centralized power Helding such views how could Secretary Taftexpect many Southern men to affiliatewith the Republics party

AT THE HOTELSInternal politics are engrossing the

voters of Meyssachusetta now saidEdward Fegan of Qulncy at the Raleighlast night Mr Fegan is a lawyer and isconnected with a prominent Boston Arm

He is on a trip to Jamestown Moppedlong enough in Washington to dlcewe thepolitical situation in his native State

The Democrats are working juet newto secure a suitable man for the guberna-torial nomination There is no dearth ofcandidates but a man whom all win support solidly is hard to secure We do notwish to be so badly beaten as we worelast time when Moran bore our standardand was overwhelmingly defeated by thepresent governor Curtis Guild

At resent there are two formidablecandidates in the fleWGen Bartlett ofBoston and Harry N Whitney who isprobably a man of wider mUIinnl reputa-tion Each of these men has a large fol-

lowing and it is my opinion that the fightfor the gubernatorial nomination wilt re-

solve itself into a contest between tfcesetwo Either man I think is capable ofmaking a strong light and would certainly make a mueh stronger showing thenMoran Guild is popular in many sec-

tions of the State but I believe thateither Bartlett or Whitney could defeathim In Boston Mayor Fitzgerald stillholds sway and has every prospect ofbeing renominated for mayor for another term

He is a wonderful politician andarrayed his forces that he will proba-

bly have no difficulty in winnIng Hismoat formidable opponent and onewould almost certainly defeat kite te exCongressman Sullivan Sullivan howeverdoes not seem anxious to make the runalthough many of his friends are eagerfor him to do BO He is at presentconsidered the strongest man on an in-

vestigating committee which has beento look into and report oa all

municipal affairs and it may be thatthis committee will develop somethingwhich will make it imperative for Sethvan to run

Nationally Massachusetts has no fa-vorite eons and will certainly be forRoosevelt and Bryan The Democrats ofcourse consider that they have n ex-

cellent chance this year with Bryan al-though they hardly nope te carry NewEngland which is so strongly Repub-lican

There seems to be a beDdIng boomall through the West thIs year saidP B Savage of Minnesota at toe Na-

In San Francisco alone there arethousands ef going up ofcourse this is duo to the earthquakeOther cities in that section are fol-

lowing her example and the soundof the hammer can be heard all luringthe day and night The Wont was neverin a more healthy and prosperous con-dition There is a decided scarcity oflabor in all sections particularly in thosesections where railway projects are under-way In Montana Washington andOregon particularly the railways are tak-ing almost all the available laboring menand the contractors are kept busy gettingenough crews to do the necessary work

The cry coming from the West thatthe labor unions are killing the businessIs hardly true It may be a tact that inSan Francisco they are running thingswith a high hand bat in other cities it issimply a case of competition between em-ployers

Die contractors have offered bigmojeey to laborers so that they nttgfctbcsura of their services and the others aremaking a howL The supply of sklUedlaborers and unskilled for that matterte not nearly equal to the demand It isan era of great prosperity for the work-ingman

Grass and water hi many portions ofWest Texas are becoming so cae thatmany ranchmen are showing a dispositionto sacrifice their cattle said AbbottZcigler of Pittaburg teat night at the NewWillard Mr Zeigler has Interestedin cattle raising for many yearn and hasjust returned front a trip to Texas wherehe made many observations

The cattlemen are rushing their cattteto market and this to almost certain iohave a serious effect on the conditions ofthe market The majority of the reachowners whom I talked to say that thesituation is rapidly becoming serious because of an alarming need of Dur-ing the past few days I loam that heavyrains have fallen in what Is known as thePanhandle and this has relieved that

sections are still suffering The greatestcomplaint comes from the scarcity ofstock water as in Instances thestreams on which the cattlemen mainlydepend are drying up This scarcity ofstock water has caused the cattle totravel a great distance from the driedupwater holes to the streams that are run-ning and in consequence they are thinand not marketable The ranchmenhowever say that August te generally H

A trip fromversa cannot fail to bring one aottoeablfeature to every ones awl that isthe gradual abolition of smoke in ourlarge cities said John Taylor of StLouis at the St James last night

To one who has not traveled for manyyears the decrease in the heavy blackclouds pouring out of every city Is re-

markable I remember in days gone bywhen the blackest and dirtiest city wasby far the busiest and it delighted theheart of a citizen to point to the tallsmoky chimneys and remark whatbustling city they denoted But all thisstems changed now and the largestcities seem to have done most in abolish-ing the smoke nuisance
