How far old-fogy judges arc responsive to progressive public opinion when it hits them like a pile-driver may soon be known if you will keep your eye on the court of appeals of New York. It was this court, you remember, which decided that New Yorkers couldn't have a workingmens compensation law compulsory in extra dan gerous industries, because it would take property from employer! unconsti tutionally. Also that if they broke up sweatshops it would interfere with the sacred right of a hunger-driven worker to commit slow suicide by con tract. ' Recently New York passed a 54-hour law. The Candy Trust, seeing the canners working weak women and little children 16, 18, even 20 hours a day, as told by Mary Boyle O'iieilly, couldn't bear to be discriminated against, and so "sicked" its lawyers on for a fight, the first round of which has just been decided. ! Justice Blackmar, in Brooklyn, has ruled that a law limiting the hours of contract labor "does not abridge civil liberty," but "is in the interest of the welfare of society." A just and sensible nil ing. But up it goes on ap peal to the same judges who made those outrageous earlier decisions. Have they learned anything since If It will be interesting to know. WORLD-WIDE MONOPOLY Look at what our tariff investigators have run up against as to alumi num! The only aluminum manufactory in the United States owns the Canadian Aluminum Co. and has a perfect "gentlemen's agreement" with all the foreign aluminum manufacturers. Moreover, the U. S. concern has contracts with power companies binding them not to furnish power to any other aluminum-making concern. Standard Oil, the Harvester and some other trusts are, in degree, simi larly fixed up. What do such world monopolies care about Uncle Sam's tariff schedules? But is there no way in which to combat such accursed monopoly, such complete strangulation of competitionfYes sir, there is. Make Uncle Sam a competitor in the business. "Let Uncle Sam do it!" THAT ANTI-SPOILS VOTE It would be glorious to know the full moaning in that vote of the demo cratic house to sustain Taft in his exemption of some 35,000 postoffice em ployes from the "political job" classification. Does it mean the death-blow to the spoils system, delivered by the domi nant and long-time hungry democracy? It has that api^earanee, and, if its looks don't belie it, it is a tremendous step forward in progress. The ad yantage would be great to every progressive measure, could we take from consideration "the spoils." Many more people would think and vote on essential issues and genuine patriotism would be a higher characteristic of all political organizations. SOLUTION, SOMEWHAT The folks of Long Beach, Calif., have taken a crack at solution of "the liquor problem" which is worthy a place in municipal household recipes as a curiosity, if for no other merit. They've decided that they shall be permitted to drink or give away drinks in their own homes, but common carriers must not deliver the drinks at the homes. See temperance reform in this solution 1? Well, there is such, in degree. The home-acquired jag is Hie rarest of jags and there's much popular prejudice against being seen on the street carrying a jug or rolling a barrel. When did you say that 11th street bridge would be open for business, Helene? Marriage licenses haven't been sell ing as well at the courthouse since the progressives came into office. Does progressiveism tend to put the mute on gay wedding bells —or is it just a coin cidence!

When I recovered sufficient ly to walk about the house I was left with a frightful harking cough, which no medicine I had taken could alleviate. It was at this time, March. 1902. that I learned of and started taking Eckman's Al terative. In a short time my cough was gone and I wa« pro nounced well.

NEW YORK, Jan. 24. —There are now nearly 200,000 girls who make garments for women on strike in New York. Every day thousnnds more are leaving therr tables and their needles and com ing, singing, out into the streets. As they stand there, chatter ing in great groups, walk up and ask any one of these girls why she lias "left her piace," and in newly-acquired English, she will |*ay: "MEESE CASEY—SHE TELL US STRIKE. WE STRIKE!" This is the really remarkable thing of this whole spectacular strike in New York. So remark able that everyone is suddenly wanting to know just who Jose phine Casey is—where her power lies and how she uses it.

It is more—a vast deal more. It Is a fight for the progress of the world —for the attainment of one more round on the cloud-tipped ladder of evolution, of life. And that, no doubt, is the secret or her power—she is fighting for the human race and not merely for a little incidental increase for the workers of a certain craft. "A strike, rightly viewed," says Josephine Casey, "Is the erection of a wall across the path of the past. It Is the wall of our rights of which we say to the holders Friday, Jan. 24,191P of Ui« money of tlie world: " 'Vim cannot push us be-, hind <liis iiuiik.
