PUBLISHERS DISCUSS
RELATIONS WITH LABOR
Men Who Print Newspapers convass the
Wage Question.

NEW YORK, Feb. 17.-Newspaper pub
fishers who are attending the eighteenth
annual convention Of their association at
the Waldorf Astoria devoted today to a
discussion of labor problems. Representa-
tive publishers from many cities told of
increasing demands of the various unions
and of the steps taken to avoid conflicts.
1t was suggested that the present union
rules regarding apprentices has a ten
dency not only to limit the supply of
printers but to drive men of intelligence
to other trades.
Frederick Driscol1, representing the
publishers association On labor matters,
presented his report telling of the many
disputes which had been arbitrated during
the year. A. A. Mccormick, chairman Of
the committee on labor, told Of the work
of his committee.
One Of the topics discussed was: From
where are the printers of the future COM
ing?"
Another was: HAS the payment of
high wages to stereotypers provoked dis
content in other mechanical departments
Of newspapers"

Contemporary Comment
Russia,s Case.

RuSsia's side is not being presented
with much fairness in any English
speaking country, yet even Russia de-
serves justice. Those who elimit NOR
atty Of the human sort and consider
elemental forces alone as to the ma
terial which history presents for our
consideration, must acknowledge that
Russia Is in Manchuria as naturally
and inevitably as the United States is
In California and Oregon. One need not
repeat the story of the Russian ad-
vance across Siberia to the Pacific and
how necessary, in the ordinary econom-
1c and political sense, was the search
and the push for a sea coast which
has harbCrs free from ice in the winter
months. History affords no instance of
territorial expansion more impera-
tive, from purely physical causes, than
Russ1a's occupation of Manchuria. Even
Russia's bitterest foes have never been
able to deny the reasonableness of Rus
sla's desire for permanent and I'M
vexed outlet in the Far East on the
unfrozen sea.-Springfield Republican.

ExTRAvAeANr HOUSEKEEPING.

The club women of Minnesota have
assumed the task of securing the re-
moval of the state training school for
girls from Red Wing.-Their reason is
the good and sufficient one that the
work of the school is rendered almost
wholly Intellectual by the presence in
the same town of the state training
school for boys Representatives of
the federated clubs Of Minnesota have
carefully investigated present condi-
tons, and it is their report that has
aroused the women to action. Nomi-
nally the two institutions are separate,
but that the inmates Of one have a sur
prisingly accurate knowledge Of all
that takes place in the other even the
teachers in the two institutions ac-
knowledge. There is no real separa-
ton. The most unceasing vigilance
cannot prevent some form Of commu-
nication, and the unhealthy excitement
that constantly prevails in both in
situations because the inmates of each
know that the other sex is not far
away makes the work of reformation
carried on by the teachers to a large
extent futile.
The moral side of the question has
appealed to and aroused the women.
If 1t cannot arouse all the men, there
is an economic side that must appeal
to them. Every year many thousands
Of dollars are paid out for the main
tenance of these two institutions. 1T
is very extravagant system Of house
keeping, indeed, that does not secure
the best results from the expenditure
of so much money. The purpose Of the
two training schools Is a reformatory
one. The money is paid out in the
hope that it will secure for the state
and the country future useful citizens.
1t is worse than extravagant to allow
the existence Of any condition that
prevents the state from getting an ad-
equate return for the money it has in
vested. 1t is downright shiftlessness.
Yet after studying the situation as it
now exists in Red Wing, it is impos-
sible to avoid the conclusion that the
jails and the penitentiary will be call
ed upon in the future to supplement
the present faulty system of reforma-
tio, hof iC oorrio1 IN
No blame is attached to those in
charge of the Red Wing training
schools. They do the best they can
with such material as they have and
under such conditions as exist. The
blame rests solely with the state. which
carelessly permits one institution to
nullify the work of the other. The in
structors, hampered as they are by the
vigilance they must constantly exer-
else because of the proximity of the
two institutions, work constantly I'M
der difficulties. Were the state train
ing school for girls in another town the
cottage plan, by which the vicious
would be separated from those who are
merely weak, could be adopted and
many other modern methods of dealing
with such a problem as a state training
school represents might be introduced.
But until the schools are in separate
towns any further expenditure Of state
funds would practically be money
thrown away. 1t is sincerely to be
hoped that the state legislature will
remedy existing conditions by separat-
ing the training schools.

SENATE HALL is A
FUNERAL CHAMBER
Services for the Late Senator
Hanna, and Body Starts
for Cleveland.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. I'm
the presence of the grief-stricken fam
lily, OF many friends, Of the senate and
house of representatives, of the presi-
dent and dignitaries from all the other
branches Of the government and of the
chief official representatives of most of
the foreign powers, the funeral of Sen
ator Marcus A. Hanna, occurred today
In the senate chamber.
The remains were conveyed from the
Arlington hotel to the senate chamber
at 11:15. The pail bearers were COM
posed of detachment Of capitol police
and the cortege was preceded by a
platoon of mounted city police
Upon the lapel Of the late senator's
coat was the insignia Of the Loyal Lee
gion and the casket was enveloped in a
huge American flag belonging to that
organization. The members of the
family, with the exception Of Mrs.
Hanna, took a last look at the body and
the cas1et was sealed. Not since the
senator passed away has Mrs. Hanna
seen the remains, she preferring to re-
member him as in life. The funeral
procession was made up of the hearse
and eight carriages. The National
civic federation and Republican ma
t1onal committee were represented.
The ceremony in the senate chamber
was dignifled and simple in consonance
with his character. The religious cere-
mony was placed in the hands of DIR.
Edward Everett Hale, chaplain of the
senate. President Pro Tenn Frye spoke
few Introductory words and DR.. Hale
followed with a prayer and address on
the character of Mr.. Hanna.
Tribute of the Press.
The Gridiron quartette, stationed in
the press gallery, sang Nearer, My
God to Thee" This was the last tribute
of an organization with which Senator
Hanna had been a great favorite and
was tender and delicate farewell from
those who had known and loved him.
President Frye addressed the assembly,
saying:
1--WE commit the body Of our beloved
senator now to the committees Of the
houses of congress and to the officers
of the senate to be conveyed to his
late home in Ohio and it's final resting
place. May God sanctify his life and
death to us who loved him we'll" The
services were closed with a benedic-
ton by DIR. Hale. The visitors and
family then withdrew, the family fol-
lowed by the president and the cab
met, and the senate adjourned.
The remains Of Senator Hanna, es-
cOrted by the two committees of con-
gress, were taken from the capitol at
o'clock to the Pennsylvania station
and the train left for Cleveland at 6
o'clock.

THE ORIENT FOR THE oRIEN-
TAILS

IAE0s
The consent given by the other neu-
trail powers to Secretary Hays note in
regard to the preservation of the ad-
ministrative entity of China merely
foreshadows the attitude these powers
will assume at the conclusion of the
present war, whether the victory goes
to Japan or Russia. OF course should
Japan win England would like nothing
better than to sit down beside the Jap
and share with him the fruits of his
victory, which would virtually be China
as we'll as Korea. And just as certainly,
if Russia should win France would be
glad to remind her of those loans and
to suggest to her that a division of the
fat spoils of the Orient would wipe out
all debts. But neither France nor Eng
land, even with the victor in front of
them, would be willing to face an armed
coalition made up of all the other pow
ers. In accepting Secretary Hays
note they have merely accepted a stu
alton that they have known all along
they must accept because it would be
suicidal for them to do anything else.
The Occident has learned by this
time that the only way it can get pos
session of the Orient is by pres serving it
for the Orientals. Once given over to
one powerful nation of the Occident it
would be lost to the other nations until
one of them became powerful enough to
take it back. But there is no Western
nation today powerful enough to take
possession of the Orient and to
close its door of trade in the face Of all
the other nations when they are I'M
willing that it shall be done. There is
really, therefore, no suggestion of al
truism in the attitude this country has
assumed toward China And there is
nothing surprising in the fact that the
other powers have, after more or less
hesitation, assumed the same attitude.
Might rules today as strongly as it
ever did. He still may take who has the
power and he still may keep who can.
But NO nation has the power to take
and no nation would have the power
to keep what all the other nations want.
And therefore, because China is not
Strong enough to declare a Monroe doc
trine for herself and to maintain it. the
other powers will do it for her and the
Orient will be preserved for the ORR
entails. But should that Orient become
powerful itself and should it presume
to push the open door ever so little to-
ward the door castings, the menace of
the powers Of the Occident would cause
the hand that moved the door to waver
and finally to drop. Should that day
ever come when the Orient shall stand
soidly arrayed against the Occident it
will only be because the two races are
more evenly matched than the world
has ever thought them to be or history
has shown them to be. Forecasting the
future by the past, everything points to
a peaceful assimilation of the Orient
by the Occident, not in the immediate
future, to be sure, but in some time far
distant. In the meanwhile the Western
powers will pave the way for this by
preserving now the Orient for the ORR
entails, thus permitting Western civiu-
cation to enter by the peaceful open
door Of trade.

TIE MIcRoBE AND THE DOLLAR.


It's an extremely cold day when
there's nothing doing for the bac-
teriologist. Just recently he has sue
ceeded in locating three hundred and
f1fty-two varieties Of microbes on a
single dollar bill, and by so doing has
aroused such alarm in the mind of a
Tennessee member of the national
house Of representatives that the lat
ter has brought the matter to the at
tention of the government in the hope
that some means may be devised for
banishing the microbes from the bills.
1t seems that the greenbacks harbor
not only high caste and low caste
American microbes, but that all of our
colonial possessions have their mi
crobe representatives on Uncle Sans
paper money, so that the citizen who
manages to dodge the pneumonia,
which the American microbe seeks to
thrust upon him, is apt to fall a victim
to. the yellow fever. the lure Of the

Combine Of ThetricaI MANAGERS.

1t is to be hoped that the thirty New
York theater managers who formed an
organization recently flor mutual
protection and benefit" will not forget
that theatergoers are also entitled to
protection and to the benefit of the
most earnest and most enlightened eff
forts of the managers. The formation
of the association at this time looks
like purpose to resist the demands
or the municipal authorities growing
out Of the Chicago disaster; but it is
preferable to believe that the managers
are disposed to act in harmony with
the city officials in every effort made
by the latter to render the theaters
safe, and that they will not offer an
opposition to any measures determined
upon so long as those measures are
reasonable and just. But the main
thing is not the protection of the the
alter managers, but the protection of
the public.-BoSton TRANSCRIPT.

Russia's Responsibility.

As to the question of responsibility,
assuming that war is inevitable, it
would seem that the intelligent judg-
ment of mankind must hold Russia re-
sponsible. She has from the first been
the aggressor, and her whole course
and clearly defined policy have been
such as to force Japan into her pres
ent position. 1t may be doubted if
any other nation would under like cir
cumstances have shown the patience
and forbearance of Japan.-Omaha
Bee.

will prove a death blow to money.
OF course clearly people would rejoice
if Uncle Sam succeeded in devising
some means by which a few Of the
microbes, at least, might be banished
from the dollar. They add nothing at
all to the value of the bill, and the fact
that they abide thereon in such large
numbers is disquieting. But consti-
tuted as people are today, nobody is
going to hesitate when offered his
choice between no bill at all and a bill
with three hundred and ffty-two va
rieties of microbes perched thereon.
Whether the gentleman from Ten
nesse who has brought the matter to
the attention of the government is ac-
tuated by a sincere desire for a clean
currency, or whether he is making a
grand stand play for the laboring vote,
we have no means, of course, for de-
termining. At any rate he cannot be
accused Of bothering himself about the
welfare OF the rlcn, Tor, paradoxlcdl as
it may seem, the more money one has
the less likely is he to be disturbed by
microbes. 1t is the rich mans privi-
lege to eschew the filthy lucre and to
deal only in checks. Perhaps, after all,
the Tennessee gentleman will himself
devise some scheme for scrubbing the
currency and we will have 'clean
money instead Of Sound money" as
a campaign cry for 1904.
