Boy, Coneressmen.

(New York Evening World.)
Chicago finds to her surprise that she
has bestowed congressional honofs on
three boy candidates" aged respee-
lively 20 % and 90 years In the case
of Anthony Michalek. who is promoted
from a bOokkeeper's desk, the whim OF
popular favor has come near breaking
precedents. But the boy congressman
is not so much novelty as ne seems.
John Randolph was in congress at q,
James Monroe at %, Madison at q.
Josiah uincy. nominated at IS. was de-
feated by the query whether his party
bad a cradle for him. But he got in at
90, as Franklin Pierce did at %, Polk
at so. and in recent times Sherman
Hoar at 90 The only concern Chicago
need have about her boy congressman
is as to whether they have the proper
stuff in them
Along with the election Of the boy
congressman comes word that young
men will rule in the next cabinet" In
this particular il will be difficult for
Mr.. Roosevelt TO break precedents es-
tablished by earlier presidents. Ham
iltOn was secretary of the treasury at
81 Calhoun secretary of war al. 30.
Winfield Scott. a major general At y,
declined at that age the secretaryship
of war. It is because of our short
memories that We regard this as dis
tinctively an age OF young men.

The EMPRESS MISTAKE.

THE IMPERIAL FAMILY of Russia
L IS said to have discussed the other
DAY the question of whether or not the
zemstvos petition for a constitutional
government, one in which the privilege
OF voting would be allowed and in
which every citizen might have some
small say. The empress spoke in OPP
position to the granting Of the petition.
1t is reported that she said:
Il do not want to see my son blown
up"
The remark is spoken of by some OF
our contemporaries as ''signifcant
But does it not seem that the empress
was i'll advised when she made it? OF
course she doesn't want to see her son
blown up. No mother does, unless she
IS inhuman and unnatural beyond all
belief. The empress seemed to think
that the denial Of the petition would
in some indefinite way safeguard her
boy from nihiIists Would il?
Is it not much more likely that the
denial OF the petition would make the
nihilists an the more determined 10
annihilate the royal family? The Rus
sian people are aroused as they were
never aroused before. At time when
an ordinary people would be all for
their car and their country. when
their car and their country should be
all for them. they arc stirring up strife
and dlssension. Does this show that
they do not love their Russia, never
have loved it. or does it show that the
Limit Of human patience has been
reached?
If the car is wise. If he would adopt
the best method OF satisfying his peo-
pie and insuring peace and happiness
for his heir. he win yiel0.

SOUTHERN REPRESENTATION.

A SOUTHERN MEMBER OF the house
y of representatives, Judge Clayton
Goes not see anything 10 cause alarm
iu the Crumpacker bill. which. if
passed. would be likely to cause a re-
ductiou i'm the South's congressional
representation. Judge Clayton points
out that "a restriction of the represen-
tation OF southern states would mean
giving the approval of congress to an
elimination of the vote Of the colOred
people. don't think the majority is
likely to do that. I am not at all
alarmed when ] hear talk about re-
stricting the representation of the
southern states.
Nevertheless. the Republicans are at
least committed to inquire into the
question. Their Chicago platform says:
I'VE favor such congressional action
as shall determine whether by special
determinations the elective franchise
i'm any state has been unconstitutional
~ limited, and if such is the case. we
demand that representation in congress
and in the electoral colleges shall be
proportionately reduced as directed b.
the constitution Of the United States"
This plank received the unanimous
endorsement OF the delegates to the
Chicago convention. 1t was aimed at
the south and was intended as sop
10 the negro voter. Now there is no
denying the fact that the right Of the
negro in the south TO vote has been
abridged by legislation. But would the
cutting down Of the south's representa-
ton in congress help matters any?
Would it help the negro to regain his
lest suffrage, the suffrage that should
never have been given him in the first
instance?
we are inclined 20 think that II the
southern delegations in congress and to
the electoral colleges are cut down. the
southern negro will never vote again.
Such step would be, as Judge Clay
ton suggests. an absolute approval by
congress of the southern action in prac-
tieally restricting the right Of suffrage
70 white voters And in an investiga-
fion into suffrage restrictions some Of
the northern states would not come out
urscsthed.
Afassa chusetts. for instance, has an
educational qualification that would
inter pose / an effective bar between
MANI thousands OF southern negroes
and the ballot box. other states are
similarly situ1ted.

Dor. regarding The growth OF the oil in
dustry IN the United State Particu-
lar Alteration is given in the report to
American oil cxpoi~- 1t is shown that
the production Of oil in this country
has increased from 100000 gallons in
1850 to 4.2l9.oeoOOO gallons in 1903.
Nearly forty times as much oil was ex-
ported during the ten months ended
Oct 81 1904. as was produced here in
1860.
During the first ten months of this
year 1923. 00a.090 gallons of oil were sent
from the United states TO various coun-
tries Of the world. OF this amount the
illuminating oil aggregated 629, 600
gallons. or nearly three-fourths. Eng
land alone took about one-sixth Of all
our export oil. The Netherlands took
1is.00O.O0e gallons. Germany 1l1.e0e.0oO
and the balance of Europe about $780,
0eG, 0O0 South America bought 5000
00o gallons. the islands of the sea 25.-
O00. GOO and Asia a little less than TO-
coz. 900.
The bulletin. as far as it goes. is in
teresting. But il would be even more.
interesting if il showed who is produc-
ing and exporting the oil. We would
Ike to know. for example. what pro-
portion Of the oil is sent out by the.
Standard Oil trust. and what proper
tion is sent by INDEPENDENT producers
and refiners. We would like to know.
TOO. how it is possible for the Standard
Oil company 10 sell illuminating oil in
England cheaper than the same oil is
sold here
The public is really more interested
in this question than in mass of in
comprehensibly large figures. 1t is the
duty of the department of commerce
and labor. as we understand it, 10
gather statistics. regarding our great
trusts and to furnish those statistics
to the public. 1t has been stated by re-
liable authorities that the Standard Oil
company absolutely uwns outright
something like s. per cent of the oil re-
hneries of the land. and that SIS pro-
portion of the exports is larger than
that.
we might not be able to help our
selves under a Republican administra-
ton. but there would be some comfort
in knowing. the worst about the hold

MEALS FOR Hosos.

COLBY. OHIO, has adopted 2 plan
y for handling the tramp element
that might be put into operation eff
fectively here The Colby city coun-
Gil ordered a number of meal tickets
printed. These they distributed among
the housekeepers. The instructions
were that when tramp appeared ip
search OF food he was to be given a
meal ticket with Instructions to apply
TO the city marshal and he would be
fed abundantly. Those that did apply
were fed abundantly. too, but they
were also required to work for two
hours on rock pile.
Tramps have system OF their own
OF communicating bad tidinss. The
fraternity generally is not stopping at
Colby any more, unless driven BY ne
cessity. a scheme that is good for Col
by ought to be good for Salt Lake. we
are not troubled so much here by
tramps as. people in other sections of
the country. but We have fair proper
ton Of them. They arc particularly
a nuisance at this season of the year
when they are hiking for California,
end again in the late spring when they
travel east,
IT would be a good idea for the Salt
Lake city council to have tickets print
Ell and distributed in sections most fire.
quented by tramPs There is a rock
pile on which they might be worked
TO advantage and it is certain that no
meals would go to the unworthy. No
tramp is going to work hard for two
hours for just a meal if he can possibly
help himself. Those who are not Will
ing to work should not be allowed 10
eat.
