Correspondence CT the Daily Silver
State-If President Roosevelt ac-
complishes what he has set out to do
and he generally aceomp. ishes what
he undertakes, he VIII win the re-
spect of every right minded citizen of
undertaking that Mr.. Roosevelt is
about to be. in. He proposes, througa
his subcrdinates in Washington, to
make a thorough investigator CT tee
Government Printing Office with
view to ascertaining why it costs the
government from so to 100 per cent
more to perform its printing and bind
ing than would be charged, profit in
cluded, by a private institution. The
actual work of the investigation VII
not be undertaken until the case of
William Miller has been disposed of,
nor is it expected tat evidences CT
fraud will be found, but it is believed
that many reforms in the interest CT
economy will be found practicable and
doubtless one of the most important o.
these will be the abolition Of respec,
for the rule of the bookbinders uni n
which limits the output of each en-
pleyee until. at the present time, ev
cry capable binder could easily finish
his daily task by noon.
The necessity for such an overhaul
ing OF the Government Printing Office
has long existed, although it has only
recently besn brought to the atten-
ton of President Roosevelt, as a re-
suit of the Miller case. But heretofore
no President has lad the coura.e to
under take a reform which politicians
geAe. ally have bslievel would have
cost tie President that attempted it
the support CT the labor vote of the
country. President Roosevelt fears
&c such conse .uenees. To those Of his
advisors who tell him that he will
lCse the lab-r vote he says that they
under estimate the intelligence Of that
vote; that the laboIilg men of the
cGuatry a g nowhere bound by the
anti lua,ei rules which govern the
baokoinCe s. union and that t..ey will
appreciate the necessities of the case
and ref ain from cri.i-iSm of tie
President who undertakes to inaus-
uIate up-tc-date methods. Moreove..
Pre-iGent Roosevelt believes that he
has demonstrated his friendship for
organized labor, in the case of the
coal strike and in other instances. In
his spec n before the Brotherhood Ct
Locomotive Eng.nees last September,
the Pie ident said: 4 believe in o.
ganized labor. | feel that we must
always keep before our minds the
fact that there is nothing sacred in
the name Itself. The worth Of an
organization depends upon its being
handled with skill, courage, wisdom,
q spirit of fair dealing as between
man and man, and wise self rest aiat.
"You teach the benefits of organ.-
zation." the President continued, "and
you also teach the benefit of keeping
absolutely unimpaired the faculty CT
the individual initiative, tne faculty
by which each man brings himself
to the highest point CT perfection by
exercising the spe ial qualities with
which he is himself endowed
great deal can be ac> >omp. ished for
all and all working for each, but We
must not forget that the first requi-
site in accomplishing that is that each
man sho-ld work tor others by work
ing f1r himself, by developing his
own capacity" With such view of
organized labor its ends and aims,
a rule which limits the capacity CT
the individual is naturally repugnant
to Mr.. Rooseve.t's conception OF the
highest ends &C unionism. as we'll as
to the business administration CT gcv
ernment affai-s.
That the long cherished dream of
trip from New York to Paris by
rail ms- sometime be realized seems
to be indicated by the fact that d
company has filed with the secretary
