Inconsiderate School Discipline.

If it be true, as charged last night by
members of one of the local citizens asso-
Citations, that some public school teachers
are acting with a lack of consideration
toward the smaller pupils in certain mat
tiers affecting their health, rigid inquiry
is imperative without delay. The asser-
tons by parents involve considerations
which cannot safely be ignored. Children
are not sent to school to be considered
merely as machines They must be treated
with consideration and discretion Their
physical needs must be consulted. ruth
less system which ignores those needs in
the interest of so-called discipline is a
positive menace to the health of the child
and all the educational advantages which
the school affords cannot possibly compen-

haps the permanent injuries inflicted in

dren and based her claim upon the fact
that her husband had previously supported
her and them and that the railroad COM
pany should replace him in financial
sense. At 100000. invested at 5 per cent.
the family income would be $1,000, prob:
ably comparable with the earnings of the
head of the family in life. On the other
hand, 5000 similarly invested would bring
in only $3.50. palpabiy an insufficient Sub
stitute for the services Of the supporter of
the family.
If the damages for lives destroyed In ac-
cidents of this sort are to be adjusted on
the basis of the needs of the family it is
evident that the New York case has been
put upon the proper plane. OF course there
would soon come point In this computa-
ton so high as to be absolutely prohibitive
The killing of multi-millionaire in dis
aster could not be thus compensated for by
the railroad corporation without involving
bankruptcy. The law would never tolerate
such limitless extension of the scale A
moderate balance between the two ex-
tremes OF compensation, that which grants
the dependent families of slain victims only
a nominal sum in damages, and that which
automatically scales the damages to the
income-earning capacity of the victim,
should be possible of attainment. Ger
ta1nly there is more ground for a verdict
such as that just found in New York than
for the discrimination which gives $4,000
to man who has lost a leg, the absence
OF which does not prevent him from earn
ing his usual income, and only $1,000 to the
widow who is left destitute through the
failure of the corporation to provide suffi-
GENTLY against accidents

Congress and the Inauguration.

The House judiciary committee seems
10 Year to touch the Hoar resolution for
a change of the inaugural date because of
the possibility of complications. The uues-
ton of readjusting the congressional
chronology is Immediately raised. The
houses. II is urged, should sit more quick
ly after their election. The most urgent
necessity II Is argued, is for that amend
ment rather than one which merely aims
at the preservation of the public comfort
upon<a ceremonial occasion.
There is no doubt that the change of the
gate or the congressional sessions is i'm
peratively required by modern conditions
Ihose who advocate alteration of the in
auguratiOn date fully agree that an amend
ment might be adopted to this end with
great advantage. They are doubtless will

a little too drastic, the Senate seemed in
cliDed to be a little too conservative. How
much of the play on either side was for
maneuyerinS in conference is a matter of
opinion. In going into conference on dis
pUted points. statesmen usually provide
themselves with something for trading pur-
poses In this case the House in conference

There is no likelihood of a renewal of
the struggle just ended d any time in the
near future. The matter is settled for years
to come The policy OF this government
with respect to Chinese immigration is now
well established. 1t is no longer in order to
talk about sand lot agitation or sand

nings of the protest against Chinese cheap
labor may have been. the fact is past all

Is certain. Protection to American labor
means more that the arrangement of the

The Sugar Investigation.

The Senates investigation of the charge
that the sugar trust owns the crop of sugar
In Cuba now awaiting market need not
be protracted in order to be thorough. The
charge originated in the House, and rests
upon assertion. Those who made 1t brought
forward no proof. but by repeating it sue
ceeded in impressing that body. and finally.
after failing to defeat the bill for reci-
procity with Cuba, they amended it by
striking at the sugar trusts interests
through the repeal of the differential duty.
Nor did Mr.. Teller submit any proof at the
time he offered his resolution proposing an
investigation. But proof is in order now,
and the charge must either be supported or
abandoned
Nobody has, or need have. any particular
love for the sugar trust. 1t is grasping
and aggressive corporation, and it has on
more than one occasion attempted to put
its interests above those of the country. Its
audacious opposition to the annexation of
Hawaii is we'll remembered. 1t has deal
ings with both political parties. and prob
ably subscribes as literally to the cam
paign fund of one as to that of the other.
But this is no excuse for using it as a
bugaboo. and especially in as plain a case
as that of Cuba. Those who are in position
to know declare that the sugar trust does
not control the present crop of Cuban
sugar, but that the bulk of the crop Is still
owned by the planters, and that they and
their dependents stand to benefit by what
ever concessions Congress may grant.
1t is important that the two houses should
agree upon a measure covering reciprocity
with Cuba and send it to the President as
soon as possible The sugar trust has fig
ured in much of the controversy leading up
to the present complication. The beet sugar
republicans have offered as a reason for
their opposition to any measure the charge
that the whole movement, instead of being
grounded in a sound and generous public
policy. is in reality but selfish scheme
designed to line the pocket of an already
rich corporation. Now suppose the Senate
committee shows that this charge is
founded. Suppose it is demonstrated that
the measure carries substantial benefit both
to Cuba and the United States. Suppose
the result of such demonstration the SEN
ate passes a bill giving to Cuba the relief
she desires and leaving the differential duty

Gcans accept the bill? VIII the beet sugar

meet in the January following it's election
one the other of these expedients is
necessary.
In order to secure a meeting in January
without cutting off one session of the
preceding Congress it would be necessary
to drop only one congressional election. as
for instance that in 1904 or in 1906 The Con-
gress in existence in that year would serve
through the long term of the even num-
bered year two years later and end with
the sine die adjournment at the close Of
that session. The election would occur in
the November following and the Congress
then chosen would sit in January. There
would be no lapse save for the month of
December.
The January meeting and the April inau-
gural plans, when combined, contemplate
separating the congressional and the presi-
Dental terms. This is inevitable unless
the date of the Inauguration is advanced
to the beginning Of the year, involving even
graver climatic dangers than under the
present system. 1t would be open. further
more, to the objection of allowing too
short period between the election and the
Inauguration of the President. But the
paramount obstacle in the way of such a
system Is the fact that there would then
De no metnOQ OF choosing q freSlGent IN
case the electoral college failed to declare
a choice. short of summoning Congress in
extra session in December. Even then the
time would be short. and the possibility Of
a lapse in the presidential term would be
presented. In view of the experiences in
1867 it is apparent that this contingency
is by no means to be ignored in the franz
ing of the amendment
The popular demand for the change of
the inaugural date, coupled with the be-
lief of legislators that Congress should as
semble sooner after election. might surely
be combined The project is more adj
vanced now than ever before. The House
committee has before it the basis for COM
prehensive action. 1t should either decide
itself upon the proper course and then ask
the House to ratify it's course, or it should
in the event of a failure to agree upon an
effective amendment, pass the matter
along to the House for initial decision The
issues involved are important and appeal
to every member of Congress. There will
be plenty of time before adjournment to
work out an amendment which, If desired,
will shift both dates In the interest of the
public policies and the public health. In
any case, the judiciary committee should
not permit the matter to be deadlocked
and defeated in committee because of the
possible difficulty of securing a two-thirds
vote.
