adoption of the Davis amendments

amendment was decidedly un-Americen,
and it was grand thing for our eolin-
try that the senate had stamina enough
to reject it. 1t was a funny proposition

lection in time of war, the American
people don't want the ditch. that's all
there is to that. England cant play on
our door sill when we don't want her to.
No, sir.
That is about as much argument as any
of the opponents of the treaty ever got
up.
The funny part, which these wizards
don't seem TO realize, is, that we now
would have the same right to protect it
as before, namely by keeping big fleet
there, while the enemy has the right to
destroy it if he can get at it, which right
he didn't have before, and we can't use
the canal to protect ourselves unless We
have fleet big enough to protect the
canal in the first place.
But England can't play on our door
sill, that is the burden of every article,
the gist of the whole animus, and they
can't get it through their heads that
England was practically offering to take
a solemn pledge to keep off our door sill.
If the European powers should generous
ly offer to pledge themselves never to at
tack our coast-cities or commit any hos
tile act in our waters, these same jim
goes would pop up and shout in great
indignation; You can't play on our door
sill! No-s:r-ree!'

Incredible that the executive officers at
West Point would allow such practices

they are claimed to have operated in the
case of young Booz.

Gus. Practiced in an institution given
over to the training of young men for the
profession of arms it may be said that
there is something more. in the nature Of
things, to be said in palliation of it than
when practiced in a purely civil educa-
tional institution. The hardships and dep
rivations of war require on the part of
those who may be called on to experience
them a stronger physical fiber and great
er powers of endurance than can be rea-
sonably looked for on the part of young
men who are brought UP to the peace

man who aspires to lead me in bat
tie should be called on to show his mettle
from time to time, as offering a sort Of
guarantee that he will be able and will

complaint.
If young Booz did, as claimed, show
signs of cowardice on an occasion speci-
fed it is indeed a doubtful question
whether he did not mistake his calling
and whether it was not better for him
and for the, profession. which he contem-
plated following that he should stop right

in answering that question intelligently

THE Booz 1NvEsT1cAT1ox

The investigation being carried on by
the military court of inquiry into the cir
cumstances attending the career of the
deceased cadet, Booz, does not promise
to be productive of any important re-
suits. 1t has already made it quite plain
that the boys at West Point will not di-
Vulge anything which may tend to sus-
tain the claims made by tie friends Of
Booz that the ill-treatment to which he
is said to have been subjected was the
cause of his death. 1t may be that baz-
ing. especially as directed against an I'M
popular cadet, is often brutal in the ex-
IRENE; but if such is the fact it will
never be made known through the testi-
mony of the cadets themselves.
The investigation is, however, useful,
in that it VIII probably result in showing
that whatever be the facts as to the bru-
tally or otherwise of hazing in actual
operation the practice is not looked upon
with any great disfavor by those in
charge of the national military academy.

sTATE LABoR COMMISSIONER.

A particularly favorable showing is
made by the work accomplished by the
labor department during the past two
years under Labor Commissioner McHale.
Under the present administration, the
work Of the department. has been de-
voted to the practical problem of inspect
ing the factories, mills and mines Of the
state, correcting abuses wherever such
were found, and promoting the interests
of employer and employe alike. All fac
tories and other industries employing
labor in all the principal cities and towns
in the state were carefully inspected.
During '99 the Twin Cities were inspected
twice and the smaller towns once, and
during the present year all the towns
and cities of the state were inspected
once.
In SO there were 1900 inspections in
volving 70, $50 employees; in 1900 there were
All the factories were inspected by men
specially qualified for this work
the question of child labor was carefully
investigated as well as the sanitary con-
ditions and the enforcement of laws
providing for the safety of workingmen.
Wherever labor laws were violated, SUI
fcient safeguards or sanitary conditions
neglected, orders were issued at once
and insisted upon. Some 500 such orders
We're issued and in 95 per cent of the
cases were carried out Immediately.
Among other things, sixty-four fire es-
capes were caused to be erected. Accu-
rate statistics concerning Sunday labor,
child labor, and wages were secured and
will be of great value for future compar-
ison.
Accidents, both fatal and minor, on
railroads, in factories and mines were
very carefully investigated. their causes
determined and where possible, removed
to prevent recurrence. The labor organi-
cations Of the state were also investi-
gated and directory issued. giving the
various organizations, their cost and
benefits, and other details.
In this work Labor Commissioner Nc
Hale was ably seconded by Assistant
Commissioner Olsen and the other mem
bers of his staff The work reflects great
credit on the administration of Gov. Lind
and sets up standard of efficiency which

System of DupIexins on Single Wires
to PC Used in Chicago.
CHICAGO. Dec "a practical sys-
tenn Of duplexing telephone wires, by
which, using an auxiliary telephone, con-
versations, with two persons may be
held simultaneously on the same VIE,
has been adopted by the Chicago Tee
phone company and instruments for its
operation will be put in Immediately at
many Of the hig wholesale stores and in
offices where the use of the telephone
is heavy. The auxiliary telephones will
as a rule be used for Incoming mes sages,
but they are so arranged that out ca lis
may be made at the same time that the
main telephone is in use.
Superintendent Hibbard said today that
the plan had been thoroughly tested and
had proved a success. By it's use, a
heavy saving in the running wires will
be made, besides more than doubling the
capacity CT the telephone service to firms
using it heavily.
