NoTADEsIRABL.E JOB.

It is not to be wondered at that Lord
Miner has refused to become the sue
cessor of Mr.. Chamberlain as the head
of the British colonial office There
could be no possible attraction in such
a position, as we look at it, forsany
ambitious man, and least Of all for
Lord Miner. "a
He made for himself a reputation out
of the Southz African war second only
to that of Mr.. Chamberlain. For long
time he was the most heartily hated
and the most roundly cursed of all the
representatives of Great Britain in
South Africa. This was because he
found 1t necessary to follow severely
repressive policy in order to keep Cape
Colony in line with the imperial au-
thority, and prevent the Boer rebellion
from spreading over the entire lower
portion of the continent. s
Later on he won favorable opinions
from those who had previously de-
nounced him most bitterly, by his fair
mindedness and even his generosity in
the peace negotiations by which liberal
terms We're granted to the Beers, and
large assistance in the restoration of
their homes and. industries. Lord MIL
ner thus stands in the way of future
promotion and carries liberal present
honors.
Now it is perfectly evident to every
body that such fag end Of the Balfour
ministry as still holds office is only
a stop-gap. An appeal to the country
on the proposed taxation of food prod,
ucts may be postponed for a time, but
is inevitable within year. 1t is also alb
3solutely certain that the people will re-
fuse to support the ministry. Even If
they come around to the new position
more than one campaign of education
to bring them to it. 81
In the meantime. those who hold
office under, Mri Balfour most bear the
odium of failure and defeat. Every man
who sits inF his cabinet is marked for
abuse and probable disaster. Even If
Lord Miner shares his economic views,
he would be politically foolish to make
himself a useless sacrifice.
The truth is that the Balfour minis
try ought to so out at once and let
the country choose their successors.
Since they Shage decided to hang on
/ until they are absolutely thrown out
by hostile majority in the commons,
no man who has proper regard for
his political future can afford to make
his bed with them.

day. The possible solution that a. few;
extremists have offered, that capital,
and the trades unions are not working
along parallel lines at all, but along
lines that &in converge in the not far
distant future Mr.. Wyckoff does not
Indeed, he offers no solution at all.
He merely says: "The conviction is
growing that. the just industrial cri-
terion is the Selection of the most eff
cient laboE the passing of industry
under the command of it's ablest and
most inventive captains and the con-
centration of production at the points
of greatest productivity. In the very
gaining of these results the genius of
modern times will direct itself in
creasingly to the solution of thesun-'
solved problems of distribution, and
there will appear, in an ever clearer
light, the ineentestable services of
trade unionism to industry and to de-
mocracy,"
The value of Mr.. Wyckoff's utter
ance lies largely in its dispassionate
note. In the confusion resulting from
the trade unions blare of trumpets
and capitals strong, insistent and con-
demning voice, there is little oppor-
tunity for clear thinking or logical rea-
sonipg. Literature on the subject has
been largely partisan in tone. But
both capital and labor are today pro-
ducing leaders who are able to with
draw themselves for time from the
clashing Of interests in order to take
broader view of the disturbing ques-
ton. What such leaders have to say
is read with respectful attention. But,
if not more, at least quite as much
value lies in a paper Of the character
Of Mr.. Wyckoff's, for it represents a
sitting that has been at least carefully,
skillfully and, honestly managed.

A JUST REeUKE.

The rebuke administered by Min
neapolis judge to the police department
for holding persons arrested at police
stations without alleging any particu-
lar offense against them, and without
permitting them to communicate with
relatives or friends, is we'll deserved.
The practice has become very general
in the large cities of this country, but
it carries with it so serious an in
fringement upon the rights of the pub
lie that it ought to be either absolutely
prohibited or severely curtailed.
1t is necessary, of course, frequently,
for proper police protection, to run in
suspects and dangerous characters
without proof of absolute guilt against
them. Frequently the crooks that come
to a town can be controlled only in this
way, and the ounce Of prevention will
save the public from very serious loss.
There is never any possible excuse,
however, as far as one can see, for re-
communicate freely with relatives or
friends. If he is, as suspected, mere
vagrant or a criminal, this can do no
particular harm. He cannot effect his
release merely by talking to friend or
lawyer. If he can get release by
notifying friends who will put up bail,
or an attorney who will take the prop
er legal steps, he is absolutely entitled
to this privilege under the laws of this
country.
The problem of police government in
the cities of the United States is
very difficult and discouraging one. It
is necessary to confer upon police au-
thorities very large powers, and to
trust their discretion more than for
merly. We cannot afford, however, to
have arbitrary or personal government,
or to abolish the primary right of citi-
zens to immunity from arrest without
just cause, or detention without due
legal proceedings. The courts should
and will uphold individual rights in
such matters.

SHORT sHRIET FoR Them.

The treatment given to a band of
tramps by sheriff's posse in Buffalo
in this state is the right sort of medi-
cine for these gentry. Sympathy is
never so utterly ill-bestowed as when
it is wasted on the hobo. There are
periods of great industrial depression
when men are thrown out of employ
ment by tens of thousands and find
themselves and their families in dan
ger of starvation. In such times an
honest and Industrious man, finding
no job at home and having no money
to pay railroad fare, may take to the
road and tramp it to another town.
where he has heard that there is a
chance to work. This, however, is the
exception and not the rule, and these
travellers molest nobody and seldom de-
generate into the steady tramp.
In times like these the only tramps
are those who have adopted that meth
cd of gaining living as a profession.
They are fdlers, vagrants and

are the scum thrown up to the

The DICKENS REVIVAL

The purchase this week by the town
or portsmouth Of Charles Dickens
birthplace for the purpose of convert
Ing 1t into a Dickens museum, calls
attention, though not so loudly as the
demand for his books. to the fact that
the great English novelist is coming
into his own. So busy was the literary
world for long period after the
writer's death analyzing his faults that
none could spare time for eulogy. and
few for defense. His occasional
strained pathcs and his tendency to
car1cature were faults which threaten
ed for time to conceal the real lit
erary worth of his books. But today
the world is disposed to forget these
faults and to find pleasure in contem-
plating the vivid pictures he has
drawn of English life in the early Vic
torian age.
Taine it was who declared that the
noVel valuable to posterity is the
novel which most faithfully represents
the period in which it is written, which
tells not only what the men and women
did and what they wore, but also what
they thought. Dickens has made the
London of his time pass in review be-
fore our eyes, not the political London,
to be sure, nor the London of fashion
able life, but the London of suualor.
with its debtor prisons, it's thieves
dens, Its warehouses and its charity
schools. In depicting the abuses of
the times his pen was as trenchant as
was Hogarth's pencil in an earlier Pc
riod. He was Riis gifted with a great
imagination, who reformed not certain
institutions in one city. but the insti-
tutions Of a country.
But Dickens was a novelist first, and
his reputation deserves to rest, not on
his reforms, but on his literary work
This has a value aside from the pic
lures it presents of English middle
class and lower class life. He created
characters as we'll as caricatures. Mr..

goty nor are any of the characters in
''The Cricket on the Hearth When
weary of the sarcastic jibes of his great
contemporary, one turns to the pages
written by Boz" it is to find enter
| tainment, good cheer, and, if not al
ways the best, at least the most inter-
that is being done him by the literary
| world is one tribute to his memory,
but better one is implied in the num-
Der of his books that are passed over
! library desks and in the fact that the
last edition Of his works was not a
drug ON the market.

THE TRADES UNIONS.

President Lynch, of the Internation-.
al Typographical union, did not exag-
gerate when he said that today trade
unions are under the white light Of
public observation, that features which
year ago would have attracted slight
the theme for extensive comment. 1t is
because Of this wide awake public in
terest in the unions and in everything
that pertains to them that the article
which Walter A. Wyckoff has contrib
uted to the current number of Scrib-
ner's Magazine will be read with in
terest by both the supporters and the
opponents of trade unions. For it has
come to this; that those who have fol-
lowed the development of the unions
or those who have been directly or in
directly affected by them, have ar.
rayed themselves on one side or the
other.
But Mr.. Wyckoff's article on "Some
Phases of Trade Unionism" is nom.
partisan to this extent: 1t is thesopin-.
ion of a man some distance removed
from the actual strife. He has per-
spective, and he has the scholars
knowledge of all that has preceded the
present stage of industrial develop
ment. He is no less a theorist than
other university professors, but he be-
longs in the class of modern theorists
who are governed as much by obser-
walton of modern methods as by the
result of historical research.
His deductions are all in favor Of
the trade unions. He regards them as
necessary, as inevitable. in fact; and
he believes, too, that they spell hope
for the future. Modern democracy
| is watching with critical eye the
| practical working out of the problem
of industrialism," says the article "All
| thought of the reorganization of So
ciety in accordance with some pre-
| conceived plan is giving way before
| the idea of the gradual development of
| a better order as a result of struggle
and survival under conditions of free
dom and equality. 1t is to the organi-
zation of labor and of capital and to the
gradual adjustment of the relations be-
tween these two great forces that
| democracy IS looking for the working
out of the problem of industrialisln. {"
Mr.. Wyckoff finds no relationship
between the old craft guilds, which
permitted "a union between capital
and industry" and the trade union.
| the members of which are not only
| separated from capital. but "are sep
arated from all ownership in the in
struments with which they worked and
the goods which were the products of
their labor" He finds the beginning
of labor organization in the local trade
| clubs of the eighteenth century. and
he traces the evolution of these from
their inception down to the present
