The former head of the national ad-
ministration. Senator Marcus AureIius
Hanna, has recently appeared in new
character. The recent meeting of the
Civic Federation at New York city gave
him the opportunity to assume new
role and he evidently did not let the
grass grow beneath his feet in the effort
to utilize that opportunity.
Senator Hanna's new character is that
of the friend and patron of trades
unonism. He pointed out in L New
York address that he was then and al
ways had been in favor of organization
among the laboring masses and that ev-
cry effort which he could. reasonably
put forward would be directed thereafter
to the, promotion of the cause of organ
lied labor.
1t was not surprising, under the cir
cumstances, that those men who repre-
sented their several crafts in the gath
ering who were not familiar with the
political possibilities of the occasion for
the senator from Ohio. at once declared
that they had been wholly mistaken
about him, or that ne was forthwith
chosen as the president of the new in
dustrial department of the Civic Fedora
ton.
The selection of the Ohio senator was
a great political stroke. OF that there
could be no doubt, and there was no
doubt until some of the men identified
with the movement who were versed in
the career of the distinguished states
man from Cleveland proceeded to air
their beliefs that after all Senator aanna
might not be regarded as the greatest
champion of his time of the cause which
they represented. They went so far as
to declare that Senator Hanna in his
capacity of employer of labor In connec-
ton with his mining industries was new
er suspected of having entertained such
delightful views as he had accredited
to himself. 1ney pointed out that in
the coal mining industry he was pretty
much the same kind of baron as all
the other coal barons, and that organiza-
ton among his employees in the past
was Just as distasteful to him as to
them.
One Of the delegates to the federation,
having time for thought and delioera-
ton on the general subject, has felt at
liberty since to declare his belief that
Senator Hanna in his attitude in the
New York gathering was simply grind
ing one of his many political axes
to be used, as opportunity offered. on

Chawles the porter was bothered. He

from the cabinet of President Roosevelt.
is striking example of what can be ac-
complished in the United States by a
man endowed unusually with unwavering
determination and unflagging energy. He
found his way, an unknown lad, to
Chicago, when that place was frontier
trading camp. He went to work at the
first job he found. and worked hard for
his employer and harder for himself
dissatisfied with his position at all times
he constantly sought to improve it by
charging his store of knowledge and
adding to his capacity
Mr.. Gage desired from early life to
get into the banking business. Once
started his rise was rapid. With increas-
ingN responsibilities his labors and his
studies were intensified. He earned every
promotion by making himself the best
man available for the position.
Giving strict attention to his business
affairs, Mr.. Gage never mingled much in
a political way, and then only as an ad-
vocate of reforms in municipal af-
fairs Such policy was not cal
culated to make him popular as
a politician. But with advancing
years Mr.. Gage gained fame as banker,
and was called as financial adviser of the
late President Mckinley. He is the
second member of that official family to
withdraw from the councils of the
Roosevelt administration.
Mr. Gage is a sort of man particularly
fitted to make enemies in public life. He
is opinionated, dogmatic, and has little
patience with those who oppose their
opinions to his, especially if they are
subordinates. Confidence in his own
ability-a confidence quite natural, it
must be confessed-made him rather in
tolerant. Mr.. Gage perhaps did not care
to match his long practical experience
and deep study of financial subjects
against the superficial wisdom of the
tyro Roosevelt. So he got out.

NO TR1MP LODGERS.


In another column will be found a
communication from the Rev David Nor
gan of this city on the subject of mu-
nicipal aid in the form of food and shell
ter for men without means or employ
ment. Mr.. Morgan is thoroughly identi-
fed in the mind of the community in
connection with work of this general
character. He has had wider expert
ence than most men engaged in eharita-
bic work in that particular form of activ-
ity, and his views are necessarily enti-
tied to all the more consideration.
The G1obe is in agreement with Mr..
Morgan in the position he takes to the
pality should extend to those who are
in need of food and shelter and as to
| the character of those who should rel
ceive such aid. The tramp and mendt-
cant are in great measure the product
of loose charity. If the city police sta
| ton is open at all times to the tramp,

er place for him to resort to. If he
finds that he can get free lodging in any
community he will favor that community
with his presence during the winter sea-
son especially, and if he is certain of
getting his food without Offering any
equivalent in the form of labor for it, he

to some other locality when it is no long
er available.
1t is unquestionably great injustice
to worthy men who are temporarily un-
| fortunate to maintain such resorts as
that which they have established in Chi
cago. 1t is a social crime to maintain
! any such place. 1t sets a premium on
| idleness and vagrancy, and puts honest
poverty and industry at a serious disad-
vantage.
! The Globe S position on this gen
eral subject is well known. 1t has al
! ways believed that the city can Go good
work by maintaining municipal lodging
| houses and labor exchanges such as are
/ to be found in several of our cities,
| through which worthy labor'ing men in
temporary distress and idleness can look
| for employment, and when necessary,
! for food and shelter while trying to
| tide themselves over their present diff
ficulties. Such places ought to be di-
vested wholly or as far as possible of
| the character of charities, either public
or private, and only those who are
known to the persons in authority or
| who can show that they are the victims
of misfortune and lack of employment,
rather than of drink or shiftlessness,
ought to receive the benefits of their

1t is to be hoped that neither the char

any such form as that of the tramp

much has been written.
