NEED OF ENLARGING THE COM
MISSION.

With the departure for the States OF
Governor Taft, the American part OF
he civil commission, and notably IN
one of it most important elements,
the law, will be very materially
weakened. The commissioners learn
ed in the law are Governor Taft, Gen
eral Wright and Judge Ide. Governor
Taft is going home. General Wright
will be acting Governor, and so much
occupied with broad principles that.
outside of commerce and politics, OF
which department he is minister, he
will be able to pay little attention to
strictly legal propositions Yet the
judicial phase of the governorship is
one of the most important, If not the
most important, to be considered IN
our young political life. With the
withdrawal of Judge Taft, and the
enforced isolation of General Wright
Judge Ide alone remains as lawyer,
and he is minister of finance and OF
Justice. With practically all the le
gal problems resting upon him he has
The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1902-02-26

too heavy a burden to carry. The de-
partment of justice alone is all that
any one man should be asked to should
er, and no one will question the fact
that the consideration of the financial
situation, and the application thereto
of a satisfactory remedy, is sufficient
to engage at least the mind and labor
Of one other man. The fact is, we
are working our big men to death.
There is little doubt that close appli-
cation to his work and lack of exercise
is sending Governor Taft home almost
on a stretcher. II is our opinion that
he is as much a martyr to duty as any
man who met his fate on battle
field. 1t is to be feared that the same
devotion to duty may lay General
Wright out in six months, and Judge
Ide is being bent double under the du-
ties of his office All this crowding
of responsibility and labor on a few
men is wrong and false economy. The
Americans are foolish to demand this
sort of sacrifice, this burning up of
splendid material, and a stop should
be called.
The organization of a successful
civil government in these Islands is q
serious undertaking, for two reasons
First, because the task is large and
difficult in itself. Secondly, because
the people of the islands have never
been trained in the science of govern
ment and are totally ignorant of the
work along this line. Hence the task
of administration for many years will
probably devolve upon the commits
sion, and the earlier the people of
the United States recognize the mag
nitude of the task and the scope of the
work to be done and provide for it,
the better it will be for the government
at home and for the islands.
The bureau of finance has under it
the treasury, the customs, the depart
ment of posts, the ice plant banks
and banking, and the currency ques-
tions. 1t needs the constant apclica-
ton of man at the head of it, who
should mingle with bankers and mer-
chants. The currency question must
be solved right here, in these islands,
not in the United States. And it is
large enough to occupy large minded
mans whole time.
The bureau of justice includes the
organization and application of Amer
lean Judiciary to this country, under
unparalleled conditions. 1t is enough
for one man. Judge Ide is solving
the problem but he must from neces-
sity slight other things of great i'm
portance. One mind can accomplish
only certain amount of work in a
given time.
The Commission should be enlarged
by the selection at least of one addi-
tional American lawyer. We believe
the members of the commission them
selves feel the necessity of such en-
largement, to the end that relief may
be afforded those who are overwork-
ed. The Manila American.

Now that the Senate has ratified the
Danish treaty, it would be well for
somebody to inform us just how many
islands we possess or will possess
when the West Indian group comes
under the stars and stripes. When
the proposition to annex the Danish
islands was first made it was received
with great opposition. When Presi-
dent Grant advocated the absorption
of San Domingo the plan failed be-
cause of the dangers that were sup
posed to Turk in the acquisition of
such an insular domain. Now we

President Schwab of the Steel trust,
sational trip abroad, because of the in
terest the reporters took in his alleg-
ed attempt to break the bank at Monte
Carlo, has reached home. Mr. Schwab
declined to discuss the personal de-
tails of his trip, which seems to cover
the alleged Monte Carlo episode.
Coming to it's impersonal details, Mr.
Schwab said with becoming modesty
of the attention received from royal
ties: II did not consider that was
received as Mr.. Schwab, but as the
president of the United States Steel
corporation. +" In all the countries he
visited Mr. Schwab found the men of
affairs "took the greatest interest in
the trusts plans and objects, but did
not regard it with animosity or i'll
feeling" They were full of wonder,
he says, Gas to how so large a corpor-
alton could be managed successfully.
Mr.. Schwab assured them that the

vading the field in which foreign
companies are operating" - that is,
the European market But he added
that the Steel trust twas in business
to compete for any trade that was to
be had i'll the new countries, espe-
cially in the east and i'll South At
RIGA" He also gave the foreigners
this interesting information 'We
look to Congress to make provision
for the protection of our shipping,
We will look after the manufactur
ing" In other words, Mr.. Schwat
regards the United States as a sort o.
governmental department of his trust
If the department will attend to it
subordinate end Mr. Schwab and hi
trust will attend to the major end
But, perhaps the United States is no
in business wholly to help the stee

CHAMBERLAIN AND KRUGER.

Colonial Secretary Chamberlain is
probably the biggest man in the Brit
ish islands at this moment. England S
metropolis has just presented him
with the freedom of the city in a gold
casket, and he has taken advantage
of this opportunity to say some things
on the Boer war which the world will
read. According to Chamberlain, the
government of which he is one of the
leading members has had two great
national objects in the Boer war-to
establish British authority in South
Africa and to preserve the unity of
the empire.
There are many persons in England
and out of it, however, who believe
that both of these ends could have
been attained without war There
are tens of thousands of intelligent
persons who lay the principal blame
of the war on two persons, Chamber
lain and Kruger. A little of the
spirit of Cancellation on the part of
these men would have preserved the
peace between England and the two
little republics, these governments
would have retained the independ-
ence which they have now lost, and
England would be just as powerful in
South Africa as she is today.
The Colonial secretary makes fling
at the "shallow observers abroad who
foretold Great Britain's downfall. "
Those observers were shallow indeed.
Yet it did not need war i'll South
Africa to show that England was still
one of the worlds great powers. The
war with the Orange Free State and
the South African republic has cost
England more in money than did the
war with Napoleon which began with
the smashing of the treaty of Amiens,
and has cost her tens of thousands of
lives. For all of this sacrifice she has
gained little glory. The peace which
will come this year, next year or the
year after in South Africa will neces-
state the maintenance of a large army
there for generation. Two genera
tions will pass before the passions gen
Grated among the Beers by this war
will die out. A conciliatory policy at
the outset ON the part of Britain S
Colonial Secretary and the head of the
South African republic would have
been better for the nations directly
concerned, and infinitely better for the
cause of liberty throughout the world.

THE OLD OAKEN BUCKET-A
HYGIENE VIEW.

IL OlENlO VIEW,
The truths of science are not often
expressed in verse, and this fact serves
to emphasize the few instances where
rhyme has been employed to convey
fact. The following parody on 1.-The
Old Oaken Bucket which is not
only amusing, but contains some valu-
able points on sanitation, is by DR.. J.
@. Bayles, formerly president of the
New York city health board, and was
read by him at a meeting of the Acad-
envy of Medicine. We quote it from
the columns of the Engineering News,
which says that "the sanitary science
conveyed in the verses may seem ele-
mentary indeed to our readers yet it
needs but the slightest knowledge of
conditions about the average farm
house and country village to realize
that millions of people are living amid
just such unhealthful surroundings in
entire ignorance that they have any
thing to do with causing disease and
DEATH" The parody is as follows:
With what anguish of mind | remem-
Der my childhood,
Recalled in the light of knowledge
since gained.
The -malarious farm, the wet fungus
grown wildwood,
The chills then contracted that since
have remained
The scum covered duck pond, the pig
sty close by it,
The ditch where the sour smelling
house drainage fell,
The damp, shaded dwelling the foul
barnyard nigh it,
But worse than all else was that ter
rible well,
And the old oaken bucket, the mold
crusted bucket,
The moss covered bucket that hung
in the well.
Just think of it Moss on the vessel
that lifted
The water drank in the days called
to mind;
Ere I knew what professors and sci
entists gifted
In the waters of wells by analysis

The rotting wood fibre, the oxide of

The algae, the frog of unusual size,
The water, impure as the verses of

The dangers that lurked in that pes
