MUSIC
If you do (and the man who does not, according to Shakespeare,
is "fit for stratagems, treasons and spoils"), you will find no music
maker so easy to buy, so easy to play and so easy to listen to as
the Phonograph. The Phonograph plays everybody's music.
You can hear upon it just what you like the old ballads, songs
that your mother sang when you were a boy, and the latest pop
ular sketch from comic opera. They are all sung equally well and
are reproduced perfectly in your home by the Phonograph,

to our duty did we not do all In our

serious invasion of their liberties
which hns taken place. That this ha3

ace nil the greater.
"Tho matter of nltomptfng to sup
press tho boycott of tho Buck Stove
and Range company by injunction,
whllo important, yet pales Into insig
ulfltunco before this invasion and de
nial of constitutional rights. Wo dis
cuss this injunction and foci obliged,
as- a matter of conscience and princi
ple, to protest against Its issuance and
its enforcement, yet wo desire It to be
clearly understood that the editor of
tho American Fedoratlonlst does not
consider himself thereby violating any
law of either stato or nation nor does
ho intend or advise nny disrespect to
ward tho courts of our country. And
yet Inherent, natural and constitu
tional rights aud guarantees must bo
defended and maintained."

Act Prohibiting Railroads from in
criminating Unconstitutional.
Washington. Jan. 28. The constitu
tionality of the act of congress or
Juno 1, 18!)8, prohibiting railroad com
panies engaged in Interstate commerce
fiom discriminating against members
of labor organizations In tho matter or
employment wus called into question
by tho case of William Adair vs. tho
United States, which was decided by
the supreme court of tlio United States
favoiublc to Adair. The opinion was
by Justice Harlan and held' the law to
be repiignnnt to tho constitution.
The court held that Adair, as master
mechanic or the LoulsvlHo and Nash
villo Kail road company, had a right to
discharge an employe because ho was
a member or a labor organization just,
as it was tlio employe's right to quit
such employment because of his mem
bership In such organization. Such a
courso, the decision says, might bu
unwise, but regarded as a more matter
of right, there could be no doubt.
Congress could not under the consti
tution authoilzo a violation or con
tracts under tho gnlso of protecting
interstate commerce.
Judge MoKonna delivered a dissent
ing opinion favorable to the law, In
which ho said tho court's decision Is
along very nnrrow lines.
