The Eisht-Hour Rule for servant


The EiEht-Hour Rule for servants
Some discusSicl has been created by
Mrs Einmons Blaines practical applica
ton of the eight-hour law to household
service Many critics are freely stating
that the thing cannot be done or. IL pos
sible at all. can only be arranged in
households where many servants are en-
ployed. According to Mrs. Blaine's plan
the servant who begins work at in the
morning. leaves of at 9. and another
begins at 2 and is on duty till 10
1t is argued that in households where but
one or two maids are kept. this would
not be possible. because the cook must
be on duty at each Of the three meals,
and so must the waitress. while the other
work is distributed through the entire
day. from early in the morning till late
az night.
Perhaps the objections are well founded
but thF fact remains that the problem Of
household labor will stay where it is in
this country just so long as that 0ccu-
patton is made less desirable than others
of its class and one of the reasons why it
is regarded as undesirable is that the
hours are long and the work conhning
In other occupations the employee has
certain amount OF leisure as a matter OF
course: in this the afternoon out and
other leisure hours are granted as priv
ilege, and there is a sort Of tacit under
standing that. II necessary. the employe Is
expected to work overtime. The domestic
servant is entitled to nothing beyond her
wages: il she falls i'll, she may have to
go home to her people. or she may be
cared for during a limited tine by her
employer. There Is no absolute rule by
which these things are governed. but
they are considered By the intelligent girl
in deciding upon her plan Of life; and Il
is not strange if she prefers a business
in which the only uncertainty is that

even a waitress in a hotel. her wages will
be increased and her ability 20 secure en-
ployment will depend not so much on the
caprices OF her employer as on her own
general ability. In household service the
personality OF both employer and servant
is in many cases the principal factor in
the problem. and there is no certainty
about it anywhere

Mr. BeVeridEe Gives UP.-As predict
ed from the FIRST by The Times. Senator
Beveridge has abandoned his free-trade
resolution and appears TO be willing 10
permit the Porto Rican bill to get through
the Senate as best it can without any
further Interference on his part. The
Senator was scheduled for a speech today
in support Of his amendment but he has
also signihed his Willingness TO foIego the
pleasure OF delivering an address 10 the
Senate II is evident that the Beveridge
amendment does not signify another
change Of front at the White House.

dianan's admirers. Obviously Mr.. Nc
Kinley proposes TO abide as resoluteIy as
possible by his latest decision in the Por-
to Ricsn middle and trust to the ingenu-
ity of his managers in and out OF Congress
and to the confidence repOsed ia him by
the majority Of the people TO pull him
through the next election. despite his ia
nous plain duty message. II is bcliev-
ed that as soon as Senator Plat of Con
necticUt returns from his inspection Of
the tobacco prospects of Cuba the Porto
Rican bill, without important amend
ments, except those affecting certain mill
ing interests or senator DAVIS state, VIII
be forced through the Senate How Sena-
tor Beverage can vote for it in its pres
ent shape. in view Of his free trade
amendment, is not apparent. though his
friends say that he will do so. II is said
that Senator BeveTidge feels very keenly
the disappointment occasicned by the ne,
cessity which forced him to abandon his
free-trade position. His constituents are
said to be just as firmly convinced now
as ever that the Porto Rican bill is "a Sc.
rious departure from right principles, II"
and that they are in utterable despair
over the political prospects in Hocsier-
dom. At the same time. Senator Beyer-
idge has Eve years in which TO recover
from whatever damage may be inflicted
upon himself by the bill and his back
down, so that he is supposed to feel rea-
sOnably secure from harm.

POLITICAL NOTES AND GOSSIP.

Mr.. Root Causing TrOubIe.-It seems
that the Hon. Elihu Root is threatening
the Administration with quite as much
trouble as General Alger. his predecessor
in the War Department. caused the anna
bic Mr.. Mckinley last summer At the
same time, there Is not that cock-sure
spirit displayed by the critics Of Mr.. Root
in respect 20 getting him removed from
the Cabinet as was shown all along in the
case OF the luclless General Rlger. Fol-
lowing closely the startling revelations af-
tecting Mr.. Roots views OF his obligations
70 the law and society in the matter of the
loan to an Office boz Of 81, 600 900 Of trust
fumes in New York there comes an unim-
peached story seriously rejecting upon his
conduct as Secretary OF War in the matter
Of granting special privileges to favored
Interests in the Cape Nome gold region.
Apparently Mr. Roots desire is TO shift
to the Engineer Department Of the Army
the full responsibility for what obviously is
a scandal al Cape Nome. but the Engineer
Department very promptly throws back
upon the head of the War Office all Of the
responsibility involved. As be refuses to
discuss the New York loan transaction, so
does the dignifed and tacturn Secretary
decline to Condescend to explain the Cape
Nome charge Of irregularity. A strong de-
mand is already going up from some OF
the newspaper offices in New York for Mr..
Hoot's resignation from the Cabinet. but as
T. e metropolitan press, with the character
isdc provincialism OF Manhattan Island
unanimously endorsed, IN eVtrayagant
terms. the selection of this ger tleman to
succeed the unwary Alger. IL is evident
that the criticism which these able aud
far-sgbted editors are now hurting at Mr.
Root viii not be taken as ser ously by the
country as they obviously would ike il to
be taken. Il appears 10 be 9 settled fact
that Elihu Root IS a fixture in the present
Cabinet II Mr. McKley should have a
chance to form another Cabinet IL is be-
lieved 20 be not improbable that there will
be a Wholesale shifting of portfolios But
the Presidents official household at the
moment is thought to be entirely satisfac-
tory to the interests that formed II. II is
pointed out that IL this were not the case
the President long ago would have found
good excuse for parting company with Mr..
Hay. The Cape Nome matter, il Is argued.
Is one OF those things which the average
citizen cares nothing about except IN
purely sentimental way, and even IL il
we're calculated TO arouse a storm OF n2-
tional resentment the full details necessd-
~ to that end cannot be developed for
many months because Of the remoteness OF
the scene OF the alleged scandal from the
organized sources Of intelligence and news
distribution.

Joe" CAMPBELL DEAD.
Brilliant Writer and Caustic Critic
Succumbs to Disease.


In the death of Joe" Campbell which
occurred yesterday morning at Hot Springs,
Ark, the sporting world lost the most
unique and original of its chroncers, and
newspaper circles of the national capital
is deprived Of one of the most brilliant, as
we'll as the most slangy. of later-day writ
ers. In his dealing with sports and sport
ing people Joe Campbell felt he was COM
PEELED to write In slang. His was not a
commonplace vocabulary. however, for
into his work he injected, involuntarily,
perhaps much of the remarkable literary
knowledge and genius with which he had
been endowed. At the time of his death
Mr.. Campbell was sporting editor of the
Washington Post. He had been in poor
health for many years. which was supple
mented by severe illness last spring, and
In May, while slightly convalescent, he went
to Hot Springs for treatment. He fingered
between life and death for a long while. and
about two weeks ago rallied. So rapidly
did he improve it was thought he might soon
return to his duties here, but within the
last few days relapse overlook him and
his death came quickly.
Surrounding Joe Campbell there was more
OF less of mystery always. He was never
heard to speak of family and he counted
no man his friend. He was continually
veloped in a cloak of cynicism of the most
pronounced type. Beneath this superficial
covering, however. there burned light of
education and ability seldom eQualed. Joe
Campbelfs slang writings were good to
read; his talk was entertaining. even though
the force of his language sometimes
staggering. Among those who knew Mr..
Campbell best it was always a source of
keen regret that he did not turn his Won
derful talents to some better effort. His
failure to do SO was distinctly a loss to
latter-day literature, for when called upon
to write In serious vein this erstwhile cynic
and inventor Of queer words and expressions
