recall them, he has said nothing that
would give aid or comfort to anar-
chists, which I think cannot be said
of Mrs. Cunning. 1t is in just this
phase of the matter that the general
public fails to appreciate her position,
Notwithstanding the fact that it may
have a very great regard for her as a
high-minded Christian woman.
One cannot be too careful in the
use of words, especially when they
mean so much as the one that has
caused Mrs. Cummings discontinue,
and which depend so much also upon
the circumstances and association Of
their use
Not the least unfortunate result of
the controversy that has arisen, is its
compromising effect upon the societies
or organizations of which Mrs. Cunning
may be a member. Social relations
personal friendship, and admiration of
her las l think misplaced courage,
unavoidably have much to do in fixing
upon such organizations a seeming
endorsement of the sentiments ex-
pressed when in reality no such en-
dorsement upon the real merits of the
case exists.
A more careful analysis of the limi-
tations of even so comprehensive a
rule of action as the sermon on the
mount should enable Mrs. Cunning to
locate her error, and remedy the mis-
apprehension that now exists.

BILLS IN CONGRESS

A multitude of bills OF national in
terest and Importance have been in
troduced in Congress and will be dis
cussed from time to time. The bills
in the Senate have been especially
prepared with the object of carrying
out the Presidents message. Hardly
any important recommendation made
in the message has not already been
covered by a bill
The wisdom of the constitutional sys-
TEN of legislation whereby the Pres
ident's suggestions take precedence in
Congress, is made evident by the flood
of proposed legislation at this Con-
gress. The way ought to be- and is,
made clear for getting the essential
Legislation out of the way promptly.
There are many of the laws suggest
ed by the President that cannot be Sc
riously opposed, because they. are so
evidently in the interests of the Amer
lean people as a whole.
The bill for the establishment of a
department for commerce ought to pass
without opposition. So with Senator
Hales bill to make the census bureau
permanent; Senator Vests creating a
national bureau of criminal identifica-
ton; Senator Perkins for laying of a
cable to Hawaii and the Philippines.
Senator Hoar's bills for the making
of the obligations of all banks uniform;
for amendments to the Constitution
respecting the succession to the Pres
iGency and the commencement and
termination of Congress; fixing the
salary of the Vice-President at SIS, 500,
Of the chief justice of the Supreme
Court at $4,000, and of associate JUS
tees at $4,000.
Senator Burrows has introduced a
measure providing a Constitutional
amendment for the election Of United
States senator's by the people where
state legislatures fail to elect; and a
Constitutional amendment changing
the date for the Inauguration of the
President Of the United States from
March 4 to the last Thursday in
April.
Both Of these Constitutional amend
ments should be put before the states
and should be adopted This is a sort
of local option method of meeting
the present objections to electing sen
ators by the Legislature, because each
state could, by legislation, fail to elect
a senator if that suited the will of
the people of the state
It certainly seems wise 10 change
the date of the Inauguration to a time
when the climate is more favorable for
outdoor pageants and exercises.

THE PRESIDENTS CONFERENCES

- NGCl - -iN y w N r z RENCES
Almost daily there comes from
Washington pleasing reports of the
conferences and receptions given bv
President Roosevelt. Yesterday morn
ing we We're told that the President
had received in a friendly way a large
delegation Of Indians, One understood
English. On being informed of this fact
the President turned to him and said:
Tell your brothers that I had 50
Indians in my regiment during the
war with Spain and they made fine
soldiers"
The Indians appeared to be very
much pleased when this message was
conveyed to them.
On the same Gay the announcement
came that Rev. DR.. Clarke. president
of the Worlds Christian Endeavor
Union, was in Washington to confer
with the President upon the campaign
for Christian citizenship and civic
righteousness which is to be agrees
sively waged by the Endeavor Associ-
alton.

.INNUMERABLE
RESOLUTIONS

Scranton, Pa, Dec. 6.-The conven-
ton of the American Federation of
Labor continued today. The after
noon session was adjourned an hour
earlier SO that the committees, which
were announced by President Gompers,
might organize and take up the work
that has been laid out for them.
The overshadowing feature today
was the address of Edward f. Nc
Sweeney, deputy commissioner of i'm
migration at the port OF New York on
the subject of immigration. He spoke
for more than an hour and was gen
erously appiaudedfor the great amount
of interest which he gave to the dele
gates.
Resolutions were presented and re-
ferred to the committees. They cover
nearly every variety of subjects which
affect the wOrkingman. One contained
denunciatiOn of WI Ting Fang, the
Chinese minister, for an alleged dero-
satory remark about the American
people and another conveyed the Sin
cere and hearty thanks" of the FEEDER
alton of Labor to President Roosevelt
for the position he took in his message
to Congress toward the question of
Chinese exclusion. The committee on
credentials made another report on
contested seats at the afternoon ses-
sion and tits recommendations were
accepted except in one instance.
There remain but two contests o be
acted upon; and they were postponed
at the request of the parties interested.
1t is not unlikely that a bitter contest
will be waged by the delegates when
jurisdiction and autonomy questions
come before the convention. The re-
port of the committee on credentials
promised to develop into a lively de-
bate, but the call FIR the previous ques-
ton suddenly cut off further debate.

ONE PRIZE FIGHT SHORTENED

The comment on the recent prize
fight in Connecticut probably led the
New Haven police to interfere in the
prize fight between George McFadden
Of New York and Patsy Sweeney Of
Manchester, n. H, Thursday. The
police did not interfere, however, until
the audience had received their
moneys worth in the way Of sparring
exhibitions and prize fights

SAND

Sand is a good thing. We need it
both outside and inside. We need more
inside sometimes than outside. But we
need it,
Just now sand is needed in Worces-
ter in many places. It is needed in the
political campaign which will culmin-
ate in the battle of the ballots on next
Tuesday. It is needed by the men who
vote and by the men who are voted for.
1t is needed by the men who will be
elected and by the men who win not
beaelected.
Sand is an element without which
politics would be placid and futile.
Croker had sand and Low had sand.
We must be careful which sort of sand
we employ.
We are moved to these reflections
upon sand and its utility not by the i'm.
pending municipal election but by the
dangers which confront the pedes-
trian who attempts to perambulate the
present icy and slippery streets of
Worcester.
If We were a preacher We should Sc
lect as text for our appeal for sand
these words: Let him that thinketh
he standeth take heed lest he fall" As
we are only a plain and obscure layman
we plead for the people of Worcester
and to the people of Worcester and our
plea now is simply for sand
There is a sprinkling of sand abroad
on a few Of the streets and on the icy
walks in front of a few residences and
public buildings. But as a rule the
streets are dangerous and they are
likely to be so all winter if the pre-
cedents of recent years are followed.
A trifling expense and a little labor
with a little sand would make the art
of the pedestrian a joy on these glor-
ious winter days instead of a peril and
often the occasion of embarrassment
and physical injury
Worcester has many features Of su-
periority over other cities, but in this
matter of the safety and attractive
ness of her streets-especially the side
walks in winter-she has not yet
reached perfection
The need of the hour is sand. With
sand we can be happy and upright.
Without sand the winter will see the
downfall of many of Worcester's stall
wart citizens and not few Of our most
beautiful and charming women. The
only remedy to prevent this catastro-
ply in the Heart of the Common
wealth IS sand, or TO be more like the
Observation-Disclosures detritus finer
than that to which the name gravel
would ordinarily be applied"
Never MIND! Give Us sand.

CANAL TREATY
CRITICISED

Washingtvh, Dec. 6-The Senate
committee on foreign relations today
voted to report the new Hay-Paunce-
fote treaty favOrably.
The committee was in session for al
most two hours and went over in detail
the provisions of the convention. No
votes were cast against it, but it
was criticized very sharply by Senators
Money and Baker who found in it
many objections which were in the Odd
treaty. They took especial exception
to the provision continuing in force the
neutrality provision of the Clayton
Bulwer treaty and also made objection
to the clause specially authorizing the
United States to police the canal as
placing limitation upon the power of
this country to absolutely control it,
