THE JEALOUS PEOPLE. Coming at this time, when a judge of a Federal Court has just granted an injunction which s aimed to pre- vent interference with transportation in | connection with strikes, it is well to note the action of the people of Swit- zerland as an example of the jealous zuarding of their rights by the people primarily, and violence generally, themselves, that parliament both of & law branches aimed acts against the pub- country P In ssed not only to repr lic has it safety, but, as the news dispatch “movements considered likely to disrupt public order, such as gen- eral strikes of a political character.” While “strikes of a political char- acter” must refer to strikes in oppo- sition to purposes of the government, rather than to industrial strikes, nev- ertheless the people would have the same opinion concerning an attempt malde them illegal as the people would hold regarding attempts to prevent industrial strikes. And the people of Switzerland, by a referendum vote, reversed the deci- sion of the branches of parliament. By a close vote they refused to sanc- tion the law which would, according to their viewpoint, hamper their free- dom. In this country a similar referen- lum would refuse to give to a court the right to become judge of facts warranting it in taking away consti- tutional rights of the people in any but the greatest emergency. In the case just decided by Judge Wilkerson the record may show a conspiracy to restrain trade and knowledge on the part of the defendants of acts of vio- lence in furtherance of that conspir- acy. to The facts have not been brought out as they would be in a trial. event, whether the court was Justified granting that injunction or not, it is certain that the people, In any in jealous of their constitutional rights, would not approve a law making it possible at any time for a sheriff, for instance, to declare of his own initia- tive that men should prevented from doing things “lawful in them- selves" opinion, the Were the dicta of the opinion in the present to taken precedent to govern the power of the authorities, tremendous power would be given such authorities—more than the people would approve. be because. in his end they sought was unlawful. injunction case be as a POLICE RADIO, A man leaves his automobile in the street while he attends to some busi- ness inside a building in New York.

" limit over say, speaking of said or, to paraphrase the ‘em three an’ Of course the old philosopher did the enforcement agents an injustice did to those who thoroughly approved the action—the ardent dry people. Moreover were they to want “the whole ocean’ Ift- erally, the “wets" would let them have it. They don't want it—the cager 'wets''—there is too much water in the ocean. But there was some truth in what and an injustice the old philosopler said. When the that the ship was practically within the three-mile limit of Its connection with the shore through its own hoats, there was at least a doubt wisdom of because in some minds as to the extending at all the territory which this cguntry had control enforeing the drastic law that is now | on our statute books. There was a universal sense of relief experienced thinking regardless of stand question of the w, when the over in by people, thelr the wisdom of the Volstead 1 later decision was made to limit dry enforcement to the three-mile limit No matter what are the evils of liquor of which we in this country are de- prived, those evils cannot be such as to allow us to break into the law of freedom of the seas for which we have fought. As ‘“charity begins Il!l home" s0 we have quite enough to 4|nl to enforce the law on territory over which our jurisdiction is unquestioned without seeking to treapass beyond our boundaries. To this end therej should be a strict interpretation of the exception which permits search of vessels beyond the three-mile limit but said to be connected with the shore by the passage of such vessel's | boats between it and the on land. LOX SKIRT FAILURE. There is a real significance in the refusal South to embrace the returning long skirt and cry, “At last you have come back into style. Such is the case according to the vice president of the Southern Wholesale Dry Goods association. He says the Southern women are conserv- ative—which is certainly that it took them a long time to get used to the idea of bobbed hair and short skirts, but now that they are converted to them they do not want to change. The statement may be believed because it {8 against the interest of the person making it. Undoubtedly the officer of the dry goods wholesalers' association would like to see changes follow each other rapidly. With refreshing frankness he asks the question: “Where would the dry goods merchants be if the styles remained static? It's up to us (wholesalers) to do a little missionary work." | If the conservative Southern women refuse to discard the sensible shorter skirt, wedded to conservatism as they are, certainly the women of North who delight in the greater freedom of the shorter garment and who were not as slow as were the women of the South to adopt it may feel that there is hurry about going back to the darker years when the length of the skirt of women made little difference because women did not try and were not expected to be as active in all affairs of life requiring physical energy as they are today. Common sense is having its day and even the most conservative men and women no longer see in it something to blush at rather than approve. of women of the true—and no Facts and Fancies Even the man who is deaf to reason can hear money talk.
