Interior Secretary Won Pasadowski- Wer-
ner 1t is understood, canvassed the COM
mittee rather carefully and is in doubt
whether he can secure a majority for leav-
ing the item as 1t is. The argument which

do to affront the United States by backing
down.

cation can be drawn i'm the case of trusts,
why not in the case of organized labor as
well? 1t cannot be successfully denied that
labor organizations as now conducted are
open to some of the charges made by Mr..
Parry, though. as already stated, his man
ner of making them detracted from their
force. II is undeniable that organized la
Dor in recent years has relied too much on
force and violence. and strikes and boy
colts, on intimidation and coercion. on
clubs and dynamite, on exalting organiza-
ton and suppressing independence, on the
ignoring of individual rights and the denial
of personal liberty, on destruction of prop
erty and defiance of law. These are not
the primary objects of labor organizations,
but they have entered too much into their
operations They are all wrong and can
not be defended. There is reason to believe
that organized labor is trying to put an end
TO them or get rid OF them. Unless IL does
do so it must expect TO find capital organ
izing more and more against labor and So
ciety at large sympathizing more and more
with capital, for the American people cam
not be brought to sympathize with any
kind of tyranny, whether il be political or
industrial, that of trusts or that of labor
unions. In as far as Mr.. Parry's address
made for social, industrial and individual
liberty, 1t will probably be generally ap-
proved by manufacturers and employers.

ANGL0-FRENCH RELATIONS.


They Are Improving with the waning
of AngIo-German Entente.
Brooklyn Eagle.
The report that the King of England in
tends to make an official or semi-oficial
visit to the President of France may or may
not be true. but In any event the publica-
ton OF 1t directs attention to a recent
change in European policies which cannot
be overlooked. Anglo-French relations
have improved. As one English periodical
put IL, the Improvement has been auto
matte. AS English resentment Of the min
listers alliance with the German govern
ment on the Venezuelan matter became
more vehement the tone Of the French press
toward England moderated, and there
seemed 10 be a desire on the part Of French
statesmen to be more conciliatory in their
public consideration OF foreign policies In
which England was involved. All this has
had sympathetic effect In England. where
the prOtracted discussion OF the German
alliance has intensified the apprehension
that the kingdom has less to fear from the
traditional hostility OF her neighbor across
the channel than from the rivalry or her
kindred beyond the North Sea
Englishmen who advocate closer relations
with France argue that Russian encroach-
ments in the East do not menace English
supremacy in India. They hold. and quite
correctly, that the dual alliance does not
bind France to assist Russia I'm any COM
bat with single adversary. Therefore.
they assume that III the worst came 10 the
worst and England had TO fight for the
possession of the Himalayan passes as she
never fought before. the issue would be de-
cided without any interference from France.
Also. they ask what Is the use of main
tanning an appearance of friendliness with
the power that Is supremely covetous OF
England's position In the spheres OF COM
merce and colonization? What is the use
of sacrificing TO that desire for friendship
with remote kinsmen the solid advantages
relations with France? Those advantages
would include the highly important assur-
ance that France would not challenge the
English position in Egypt. and that assur-
ance any intelligent Englishman would es-
TEEN more largely than he would the doubt
full prospects of league with Germany.

Hallett Kilbourn, who died in Washing
ton on Tuesday last, was formerly resi-
dent of this State. He was chief clerk of
the Interior Department for several years
and was widely known in social and po-

gagged successfully in the real-estate bust
ness. At one time he was arrested and
detained by order Of the House Of Repre-
sentatives for refusing to produce the
investigation of a real-estate pool. The
case attracted a great deal Of attention
and later Kilbourn brought suit and re-

etc. and he stole ses 900 from the employers
torialIy as 'the unfortunate young man"
Were his employers. then, fortunate? Not
one word Of sympathy should be wasted on
a man who has had the advantages of
education and commits such a crime
against all connected with him, either So
cially or commercially. But this criminal
justly without penny in the world after
his crime was discovered. was permitted to
pay for an apartment at an expensive hotel,
was furnished with guard at extra cost
to save his feelings. His self-possession
and GOODNESS are remarked upon as If his
attitude did credit to his goodness of heart
He even had the temerity to make a joke
of his dishonesty before the crime was dis
covered. In spite of these unprepossessing
facts. the attitude of all who dealt with
him seems to have been apologize His
jailer said: I'VE will treat you as nicely
as we cam" and his relatives were allowed
to provide him with a soft bed on which,
after reading the newspaper accounts of
his crime. the young man slept soundly.
1t is not strange If youthful readers look
on many Of this class of picturesque GRIM
inals. whom the public and the newspapers
handle so tenderly, as more than half a
hero. 1t should be the part Of papers to
point out the shame and disgrace Of such
citizens, rather TO cast a halo about their
personality. II newspapers could but for
bear to make such accounts sensational!
Otherwise the public is almost forced to
conclude that one may be liar, thief.
a murderer. and If only one has good
clothes and fine manners 1t will be for
given.
