it is doubtful whether the taxpayers

THE CONSTITUTION OR NOT.

After several determined, but futile,
stTorts to dislodge Mr.. w. A. Miller
from his foremanship in the Govern
ment Printing Office, organized labor
has abandoned the fight with its vanity
sadly tarRished. Like other compact
organizations or trusts" organized la
bor soon displayed arrogance and die
tatorial impulses by virtue Of fancied
numerical strength, and assumes the
unwarranted position that Federal
laws are subservient to theirs. They
invoke Federal legislation to regulate
and curb the power of commercial
trusts. but reserve all interference
with laws and methods of their own
industrial combine
Federal laws do not conflict with
tions. but rather invite hearty coope-
ration. No man is barred from en-
ployment under the Federal Govern
ment On account of his religious or
indugfrial views. The Government de-
sires efficiency and morality among its
employees. It does not object to the
formation Of unions or societies among
its working force, but it does object
to any attempt on the part of any in
dustrial union to dictate or regulate
the working system of any department
OF the Federal Government.
But the arrogance of organized Ia
Dor is bringing about lack of respect
for the cause. At recent Labor Day
parade in a city on the Pacific slope
it is reported that gentleman was
dragged from his carriage and severely
maltreated for no reason, except that

ploying a union" driver to hold the
reins.
We are not taking a prejudiced view
OF organized labor because of its appar-
ent hostility to colored mechanics and
tradesmen, but calmly reviewing the
matter from its past history of selfish
ness and greed. The attitude of Presi-
den Roosevelt toward labor unions will
not cost him many votes next year,
and the DETECTION will be offset by
large recruits from the conservative,
patriotic, and business elements Of the
country at large.

FREEDMENS HOSPITAL.

DR.. w. A. Warf1eld, the surgeon-in-
chief of Freedmens Hospital, deserves
the thanks of the community for his
timely expose of the methods employed
by local physicians to place his insti-
tuition in an unfavorable light before
the country by sending patients to the
hospital in moribund condition, thus
increasing the death rate there. He
intimates in his annual report to the
Secretary of the Interior that the ply
sicians who resort to this ignoble prac-
tice either desire to keep the death
list of their patients low, or they have
no further pecuniary interest in the
cases. Upon this matter, he said:
"In noting the deaths of the institu-
ton it will be observed that the great
est number prevails on the medical
side; but IL should be remembered in
this connection that many are mori-
bund and far beyond medical aid when
admitted. Twenty-Five were in this
condition, and died within twenty-four
hours after entering the hospital; 15
died within forty-eight hours. 1 recall
three cases where death occurred be-
fore the patients reached the ward.
In many instances these patients do
not come to the hospital from choice.
but upon the advice of their attending
physician, who either wishes to keep
his mortality record low or whose in
terest in the patient lags when there
is no further pecuniary benefit in sight.
In either case it is an inhuman prac-
tice, which seems to be on the increase.
If the transportation of the patients
to the hospital in this condition con-
tributes nothing to hasten the hour
of death, it certainly adds nothing to
their comfort, and no benefit is secured
by their admission into the hospital
at so late a period of their disease"
Dr. Warfield recommends that the
management of the hospital be unified,
thus insuring better administration of
affairs at this noted institution.

The cry is for white settlers in the
South to take up the land and do with
it what the alleged "shiftless Negroes"
are failing to do. An Indiana company
is to establish a colony in Antauga
county, Ala, from which Negroes are
to be entirely barred. So far, so well.
We shall watch with the deepest in
terest to see how any county in the
Lower tier of States gets along with

Is the Filipino white man or a
Negro? The question is fairly up to
us. The school board of Princeton,
Ind, has gotten itself into hot water
by refusing to admit to the white school
a twelve-year-old Filipino boy who was
sent to this country to be educated.
Leading citizens denounce the board
for its provincial narrowness," while
others lend their approval to the loyal
adherence to the color line. We leave
it to the expert philologists. Is the
Filipino to be treated as a white or
blackperson?
