He was a farmer, but In recent years
increasing feebleness robbed him Of much

a Republican, and man of no inconsid-

Of supervisor Of Henrico from Varina
District for several terms 1t Is said that
he could carry his district against all
opponents. His high integrity and cordial
disposition made him q favorite for whom
every body voted without much regard to
political cooring. 1t Is a curious fact
about him that while man of excellent
Judgment and fine business capabllity,
he had but scant education. one OF ms

INCREASE OF CRIME.

In a recent address Mr.. Andrew d.
White. formerly American ambassador
to Germany, declared that high crime is
more frequent in this country than any
where else in the world, save Sicily, and
that there is a widespread superstition
here that it is the duty of the people to
protect criminals. A statement of this
kind from such a source may we'll com
mand attention, especially from those
who are charged with administering the
laws and of safeguarding communities
against criminal depredations.
If is a fact that statistics of crime In
general show a great increase in recent
years This is true not only OF this coun-
try, but of most il not all other countries.
English statistics show that all sorts Of
crimes are increasing in that country.
Denmark, where half the population
lives on farms, where education has long
been free, compulsory and universal, and
where religious conditions are ideal, has
had such a growth OF ."thuggism" that
1t has had to resort to the whipping post
to combat it. Similar conditions are re-
ported in most of the European coun-
tries. II the statistics are to be relied
upon there is more crime in the United
States, relative to population, than in
England, France or Germany.
1t is not easy to find satisfactory ex-
PLANTATION of this. Doubtless It is to
some extent due to the fact that there is
too much leniency in the treatment OF
criminals in this country. This has been
frequently urged as accounting for the
growth of crime and unquestionably 1t is
in some degree responsible, but there are
other causes and these are not easily

THE CHRISTMAS TIME.

Christmas is the most joyous and the
most generally observed Of all the years
festivals. More than four hundred mil
lions ofs people give it welcome. In
every land beneath the sun there are
some to do II reverence. Wherever on
earth there is one who accepts the teach
ings Of the Son of Man, this anniversary
of His birth brings sacred reflections,
tender memories, a revival of affection,
impressive and wholesome aspirations.
All the influences Of Christmas are per
ennial in their force and freshness.
Time does not impair their vitality or
diminish their effect. For all who rec
ognize it this anniversary has it's useful
lessons, its healthful inspiration, its in
vocation to good deeds. Before the ire
sistible tide of human feeling which 1t
creates controversy is hushed and the
barriers Of theology and sectarianism
alike break down. Every gracious and
kind and gentle sentiment is awakened
at this season and the heart is indeed
cold and hard that is incapable of feel
ing the genial influence of this day.
Out of the many suggestions which
the recurrence of Christmas brings,
there is one that always needs to be
especially urged upon the attention Of
those who are In sympathy with the
demands and obligations of this day.
That is, that they forget not the office
of charity. None in a position to OBJ
serve among kindred and friends the
gladdening customs of this season need
to be advised Of their duty or the pleas
ure of its performance, but how few
of these ever reflect that there is a de-
mand upon them to make glad the
hearts of the less fortunate, and by
little kindness and generosity revive
their hopes and strengthen their faith.
To do this is to perform practical Chris
tiarl work, and 1t is to obey the injunc-
ton of Him who plead as none other
ever did for the poor. In its inspira-
ton to charitable acts this is the most
benefcent of seasons, not only giving
happiness to millions of needy for the
time, but exerting an influence in the
cause Of benevolence that reaches far
beyond. Every year there is an exten-
sion Of the spirit and the work Of charity
and philanthropy and the influence of
Christmas contributes more than any
thing else to this. In its social feature
Christmas stands first among festal oc-
casions, while for hundreds Of millions
of mankind it has a religious signif
canoe that gives it the strongest claim
to their consideration and which is
steadily broadening.
To all its patrons The Bee extends
the seasons greeting.

THE ARBITRATION TREATIES.

Not until the reassembling of con-
gress after the holiday recess will it
be known what the chances are for
the ratification of the arbitration trea-
ties which are before the senate.
These treaties are with England, France,
Germany, Switzerland and Italy and
are drawn on a common model. They
are simply agreements to submit to ar
bitration legal questions and those grow
ing out of treaties, expressly excluding
any subject affecting the honor, the vital
interests or the territory Of nation.
Similar conventions exist between the
leading European nations. These pledge
the governments to submit to The Hague
tribunal differences in respect to the in
depreciation Of existing treaties, or those
of a judicial order" which is under
stood to mean pecuniary questions.
1t would seem that there could be no
reasonable objection to an international
agreement Of this kind and so far as we
know none has been raised. Popular
opinion regarding the treaties, as re-
fected in the press and through public
meetings, is strongly favorable TO their
ratification and If the senate has respect
for public opinion they should be ratified
without unnecessary delay. The con-
spicuous position which the United
States has long occupied in support of
the principle of international arbitration
makes it especially important and desir-
able that we should further attest our
belief in that principle by the ratification
Of these treaties, the benefcent purpose
of which is to promote peace and good
will among the nations. The American
people want peace with all countries;
they desire the friendship of all other
people. These arbitration treaties con-
tribute to this and having received gen.
eral and unqualified popular approval
they should be promptly ratified.

probably looked over the field and decided
that the senators needed them the most.

THE LINOTYPE REYoLU TON.

In a little pamphlet reprinted from
the Yale Review under the title. 1.-THE
Introduction of the Linotype" George
e. Barnett of the Johns Hopkins uni
versity gives the results of careful
study of the use of typesetting machines
in this country that is of interest to
more than those Immediately and di-
rectly concerned.
The linotype. revolution was a revolu-
tfon as quick and as complete as any
phase of what is known as the indus
trial revolution. "In 1887" says Mr..
Barnett, "typesetting was essentially the
same art as In the sixteenth century.
While other branches of the printing
trade had been revolutionized, the com
positor had not advanced in his pro-
cesses beyond the point he had reached
four hundred years before. Since 1890
machine composition has been rapidly
supplanting typesetting by hand. The
machine is still constantly encroaching
on the field of the hand compositor, but
the period Of introduction may be prop
erly considered as concluded with the
year 1900. By that time the craft had
adjusted Itself to the new conditions and
the future trend Of events could be fore
seen with some clearness."
How this was all brought about with
the least displacement Of labor and utll-
lied by skillful maneuvering by the
Typographical union not only to secure
control Of mechanical typesetting for it's
members, but also to lift up the workers
remaining at hand composition to better
pay and shorter hours is described in
analytical detail. 1t was done by the
adoption of a policy by the unions meet
ing the typesetting machine half way
instead of fighting 1t from the beginning,
by giving the hand compositor the first
chance to learn the mechanical trade and
by agreeing with the employer to share
the cost of transition.
Whether the linotype revolution could
have been accomplished as successfully
in the face of an opposition from the
trades organization of the hand compost
tors is perhaps a speculative question,
but the author of this study ventures the
opinion that the policy OF the printers
has not succeeded alone through the
power of combination. He found that
although in the early years much was
said about the possibility of operating
machines with unskilled labor the expert
ment when tried in several cities was
quickly followed by an abandonment OF
Omaha daily bee., 1904-12-25

discoverable. 1t is suggested that the
fact that there are so many more crimes
to commit may help to account for the
appearance Of increasing criminality. 1t
is difficult to believe that men are
broadly or essentially worse than they
used to be- At all events, It seems an
indisputable fact that crime is on the
increase and more rapidly in this en-
llghtened land than in any other. 1t is a
condition which should arouse to greater
activity not only all moral agencies, but
those whose duty it is to hunt down and
punish the perpetrators of crime.

The minority representation scheme
failed to work according to schedule in
the recent election Of members Of the
city council In Boston, where, although
the voter was allowed to record himself
for but seven candidates for thirteen
places, the democrats scooped in eleven
of the jobs just the same. The belief
in party responsibility for government is
evidently too deep-seated to be eradi-
