IN A TOY FACTORY.

employees in the factory, he said, get
ting an average of 90 cents an hour.
If visitors appeared, every man would
look up from his work, many dropping
the task in hand-a minimum average
delay of three minutes. This would
make 500 a visit. and with the rule
against visitors once broken, the mil
lionaire said, his factory would, or
might soon. so raise the cost of pro-
duction as TO wipe out profits.
Five hundred dollars for charity is
nothing" he concluded. But FIVE cents
wasted in violation of business princi-
plies is the first step toward bank
ruptcy."
Mr.. 4. d. Converse, head of the
largest toy factory in the United States
in an interview recently, pointed to
the enormous value of the waste prod
ucts of manufacture. Fully ten per
cent. of the total manufactured prod
uct Of the country, he said, was OBJ
tained by careful utilization of rem
nants. Without ingenuity and con-
slant watchfulness the factories Oh
the country would lose this margin
and thereby find more than their total
profit wiped out. Mr.. Converse was
asked how American toy manufac-
turers managed to compete against
the starvation wage products brought
20 this country from Europe. Employee
in American factories get from three
to four times the wages of the boys
and girls making toys in Swiss and
German towns, and yet in recent years
American toys have undersold the i'm.

NEWS FROM WASHINGTON.

The dissatisfaction in the war
department generated by the ac-
ton of Secretary Root in assign
ing Brig. Gen. William FL. Carter,
acting adjutant- general in Gen.
Corbin's absence, over the heads
of Col. John B. Babcock and Col
William P. Hall, does not abate as
time goes on. 1t is considered as
almost certain that both of these
officers will protest against acting
under the direction of Gen. Carter
At first it was assumed that the
object of Secretary Root in assign
ing Gen. Carter to his present du-
ties was the humiliation and com
plete elimination from army direc-
ton of Gen. Miles, but now it is
realized that the assignment has
an even deeper significance. By
making this assignment Secretary
Root has established a precedent
which confirms the contentious of
General Corbin that he holds the
senior commission as major gen
eral of the line. Those who con-
trovert this claim contend that
Corbin's commission was merely
incidental to his staff position and
did not imply the actual, but rath-
er the ex- officio, rank of major
general. 1t is now realized that
the action of the secretary of war
not only confirms Corbin's conten-
ton but that it is the first and most
important step in a policy which
has for it's ultimate purpose the
appointment of Corbin to succeed
Miles as general commanding the
the army. incidentally Roots &C
ton places General Carter in a po-
sition where it falls to him to pass
upon the recommendations of his
superior officer, General Miles.
All this is most exasperating to
the older officers of the army who
recognize in the act of Secretary
Root an autocratic policy totally
at variance with the discipline and
traditions of the army. Since the
gratuitous reprimands which the
president has seen fit to distribute,
the officers of the army are very
guarded in their utterances, but
to their friends they say that, un
der Roots administration, senior
ity and merit count as nothing as
compared with the untrammeIed
will of the secretary of war and
that hereafter the officer who would
secure promotion must learn ''to
truckle and to curry favor" with
the secretary.

A British army officer, to whom
was submitted mass of testimony
relative to the respective advan-
tages OF long coats and short Jack

dicrous side of the red tape and
replied: IL beg to report Q) that
| approve the adoption of tail.
coat for mess, and (2) | consider
one tail should be red and the 9TH
er blue"
The autocratic methods of Sec
rotary Root and his policy, which
is regarded as preparatory to the
selection of General Corbin to
succeed General Miles, are making
trouble in the War Department.
1t is rumored that those officers
who are obliged to serve under
General Carter, acting Adjutant
General, will file an emphatic pro-
test when the secretary returns to
Washington.
The chairman of the Republican
Congressional Committee, Repre-
sentative Babcock, of Virginia,
lost no opportunity during the
early days of the last session of
Congress of exposing the iniquity

of Mr.. Babcock furnishes an ex-
cellent criterion by which to Judge
the effectiveness of Mr.. Little

Representative Hay of Virginia
was seen at Democratic headquar-
ters recently. Mr.. Hay deplores
the lack of candor of which the
Republicans are guilty in the pres
ent campaign. He said that it
was absolutely untrue that the
Democrats had ever attacked the
army and that the Republicans
knew it. They had attacked
blameworthy conduct on the part
of certain army officers and the
president had, in at least one in
stance, so far approved Democrat
ic criticism as to retire the offend
ing officer. Another instance of
the insincerity of the Republicans
Mr.. Hay cited, and that is the
statement that the army in the
Philippines has been reduced to
$4,000 troops. This he stated, is
one of those half truths which are
almost worse than falsehoods. In
addition to the Is, 900 troops which
are in the islands there are between
1000 and $4,000 Filipino scouts,
who are actually a part of the
army and who have been trained
to a considerable state of efficiency.
This force should be added to the
$4,000 American soldiers and then
it will be seen that the troops in
the islands number about 10000
men and this is quite exclusive of
the native constabularly who mum
Der about 1000, making a total
force of upwards of 81, 900
men. Mr.. Hay decIarded that the
trusts and the tariff were the lead
ing issues of the campaign.

The action of Secretary of Ag-
riculture Wilson at the Iowa con
vention has been watched with a
good deal of"interest from Wash.
ington. 1t is we'll known that the
secretary is an arch-protectionist
and that he was heartily opposed
to the presidents Cuban reciproc-
ity policy, and yet that he went
out to Iowa with the express in
structions from the president to
stand by the Cummings faction in
the Iowa convention and labor for
a plank committing the party to
tariff revision. Since the resigna-
ton of Secretary Gage there is
probably no other man in the cab

have dared impose so unwelcome
and humiliating a task.
