The Domestic Service Problem.

Some evidence Of the serious nature
of the domestic-service problem is
indicated by statement Of the i'm
migration officials at Ellis Island to
the effect that places could readily
be found for 100000 house servant
girls if the latter could be obtained.
The demand comes not only from
New York city, but from all over the
country.
The scanty supply Of domestic help
on the one side and the increased de-
1nand on the other, constitute, in the
mind Of economists, important evil
dence of the prevalence of good times.
When hard times prevail, not only
are domestic servants in less demand,
but more women find it necessary to
engage in service of that kind. I'm
less, thel efore, we are approaching a
period of depression, we cannot hope
for any immediate Improvement in
the supply of domestic service. st
1t is a problem which vexes the
honseke sorely. Inability to OBJ
tain efficient domestic servants has
broken up thousands of homes and
driven the occupants to hotels and
clearinghouse or, if they retain
their dwellings and apartments, to
cafes and clubs for their meals.
Two things operate to embarrass
the housekeeper and render domestic
servants hard to get. One is the in
experience and incapacity Of the
housekeeper herself and her failure
to appreciate the nature of the de-
mands she makes upon the capacity
and fidelity of her servants; the other
is the exasperating ineff1ciency and
dis1oyalty Of the domestic servants
themselves. The latter might be cured
in some measure by such an induce
ment as an increase of wages, for
! money will generally buy good do
mestic service, just as it will buy any
| thing else in the market that is de-
sirable. But it cannot buy compe-
'tency on the part Of the housekeepe1

Friday Evening,

the German empire of modern times.
1t may not be doubted, indeed, that
the Japs who have lugged the great
siege guns over rugged and lofty
heights Of the -tung peninsula
with incredible hardships and suffer-
ings and death. as we'll as those who
have manned the nikadoss navy in
this great modern war, are setting the
limit to the blight of Russian domino
ton in the East and preparing the
way for the pervasive influence Of the
time spirit turnout the length and
breadth of China, Mongolia, Tibet,
Corea. Manchuria, where the SOM
nolent preterists nod and slumber, as
they have for untold centuries.
The Times Is sorely disappointed be-
cause the Voters league did not rip
everybody UP the back 1t was evidently
hoping for "hot stuff" to print. The
league is composed of a very level-headed
lot of men and they seem to know their
business better than our excitable con-
temporary, which has probably not given
a tenth as much consideration to the
matter as have the trainers Of this report,
and does not begin to be as well informed
as to the facts. The league will have
something to say Of candidates presently
which will "cut more ice" from the fact
that the league has shown it's disposition
not to get excited and do things not
called for.

two years ago the committee had to pay
about e9O0 IN bills from the 1900 campaign.

It seems to be up to John A. Johnson Of
ST. Peter. Threatened opposition to the
nomination Of the well-known editor as
the democratic candidate for governor has
faded away in the last few days. Leaders
OF the recent. Hearst movement, while
feeling some res eminent over the con-
ference that brought Johnson out have
concluded to make the best Of the situa-
ton, having nothing against Johnson per-
sonally or as a candidate. At this stage
1t looks like Johnson's nomination by ac-
clama tion unless he absolutely forbids
such step His silence up to the pres
ent time Is taken for consent.
Efforts are now being made to heal the
breach between the two factions Of dem
ocracy. and to bring them into a harmo-
NOUS front for the campaign. 1t is pro
posed to give each element a good repre-
sentat1on on the state ticket and on the
state committee. If these good offices
are not rejected the convention of Aug.

famous gathering at Duluth than a Qua
ker Sunday school to Donnybrook fair.

Dunn for the republican nomination. says:

toward the election of governor, and with two
country editors as candidates it is going to be
hard work for some of us to fight or support
either Mr. Dunn or Mr.. Johnson. For Johnson S
sake we hope to see him nominated by the de-
mocracy-for the honor the nomination will be-
stow. He is man worthy of the nomination by
any party. On the other hand we hope to see
some other man nominated, because it will be

Insinuation That the Old Republican State
Committee Is "HoIdIng Out" Brings De-
mand for an nvestlgatIon-op Opposition
to John A. johnson vanIshes.


The tempest in a teapot stirred up by
some members of the republican state
committee, over the alleged balance from
the last campaign, seems to have sub
sided with the statement of Chairman
Han1lin that he is ready to take the word
of Judge Jamison and James A. Martin
However, the members of the old commit
tie and their friends are considerably
worked up over the matter, and are in
sisting that Chairman Hamlin make a per-
sonal investigation and satisfy himself as
to the situation
The general verdict among politicians Is
that the members of the new committee
who stirred UP the trouble made an UNI
fortunate blunder in SO perpetuating the
feeling between the old and the new
regimes. Each campaign is supposed to
stand on it's own feet but the general
rule has been that the new committee had
"a legacy of bills from the previous cam
paign The committee is in luck this year
to be able to start with a clean slate. In

new organization had to square up, and

Campaign Work.

The organization of the republican
national campaign seems to be pro-
ceeding smoothly and effectively, with
an improving prospect for republican
success as the day of election APP
proaches. There Is a quiet and unob-
trus1ve man at work at the center of
this organization whose capacity and
fitness for the task in hand Is remark
able. All the prejudice and opposi-
| ton to George Bruce Cortelyou seems
| to have disappeared as the DIRECTORS
to his appointment have been able to
watch his motions. There is a bust
ness-like air in the republican head
quarters, an economy of resources
and strength, a grasp Of the situation,
and an intelligent knowledge Of men
and how to make them available,
which is counting every day in the
enhancement of the prospects Of re-
publican success.
One Of the conspicuous results of
the harmonizing of forces and con-
centration of effort is the placing of
| the spell-binders' +" bureau Of both
the national and congressional COM
mittees under the direction of Mr..
Tawney. The Minnesota congress-
man is making good" He knows
who's who" and is working out a
| schedule and enrolling a list of speak
ers which gives promise Of most sat
isfactory results. Anticipated and
useless hangers-on of the national
committee, who have outlived their
usefulness years ago, are eliminated
from the payroll, and the funds of the
campaign committee will be expended
on the expenses of men who are cal
culated to accomplish results and on
no others.
The situation on the democratic side
is by no means as satisfactory. The
selection Of the executive committee
4 without the choice of single western
man, and the decision to open no
western headquarters, but to concen-
trate the democratic campaign in the
east, with the exception of such work
as Tom Taggart is expected to do in
Indiana, has discouraged western
democrats generally and dashed their
hopes for success in all the western
states which they have heretofore de-
clared to be doubtful. To overcome
this feeling Of depression in some
measure and establish as far as may
be a general feeling Of confidence, the
democratic managers are going tc
send Judge Parker on stumping
; tour, at least as far west as the Mis-.
sissippi river, which, to New Yorker
like Sheehan, seems pretty far west
How effective Judge Parker may be II

ton that he will make many votes
for himself by his public appearance

:, with which his youthful campaign man
ayers have started off his campaign Fo
a man who will need every vote he cal
), get, the policy thus far pursued seems tt
be Of doubtful wisdom, to say the least.
