THE HAY CIRCULAR.

Chicago Record Herald Mr. Hays
circular on contraband Of war Is in
keeping with American precedent and
also with common sense and Justice.
AS the secretary says, "the recogrl-
ton in principle of the treatment Of
coal and other fuel and raw cotton az
absolutely contraband of war might
ultimately lead to total inhibition Of
the sale by neutraiS to the ,people OF
belligerent states OF all articles viii oht
finally could be converted to military!
uses" A belligerent gives inexecus.
able offense to neutral states by
championing practice which would
logically lead to such extremes, and
MS regards coal Russia is very neatly
turned against Russia by the quota.
ton from Hall, international law, al
follows:
During the West African confer
ence in 1884 Russia took occasion to
dissent vigorously from the inclusion
of coal among articles contraband Of
war, and declared that she would re.
fuse categorically her consent to any
articles in any treaty, convention or
instrument whatever which would im.
ply it's recognition as SUCH"
| Reason approves the declaration of
our navy department, June 20, 1898,
that "the term contraband of war
contemplates only articles having a
belligerent destination" and the rules
of its adoption, which are described as
follows:
Among other articles absolutely
contraband it declared ordnance, ma
chine guns and other articles of mill
tary or naval warfare. 1t declared as
conditionally contraband coal, when
destined for naval station, port of
CALL or ship or ships of the enemy
1t likewise declared provisions to be
conditionally contraband when des.
tined for the enemy's ship or ships, OF
for place that Is besieged"
This is all ineligible at a glance
J, and Mr. Hays note will be general,
accepted as a fair statement as tt
what should constitute contraband o,
war and very proper defense OF the
4 rights Of neutrals.

scHLEY AND SANTIAGO

Admiral Schley has created a con.
siderable sensation by his article in
the Saturday Evening Post telling of
the part he took in the battle Of San.
tiago. The question of who should
have the credit for this brilliant vic.
tory of the American fleet has for
years been an open one. The navy de,
partment gave Admiral Sampson the
praise but Admiral Schley has always
been idolized by the people at large
as the hero of Santiago. Now, years
after the notable event, Schley comes
out with an article telling his reasons
for the course he followed and for
claiming the glory of the victory for
himself.
1t is doubtful if Admiral Schley will
add to his reputation as a fighter or
as a man by his article. The history
of the battle of Santiago has been
thrashed out before a court of INQUIRY
and people have settled in their own
minds upon who deserves the credit.
No explanation at this date, no dig

YELLOW JOURNALS AND CRIME.

The tendency of some of the mod
ern papers and magazines even, to-
ward the yellow" class, is becoming
more and more marked. A few years
ago the only literature that afforded a
story of bandit deed in which the
bandit was the hero was the five and
ten cent libraries" which were sold
principally to the messenger boys and
street arabs. Only a few months ago
one of the leading monthly magazines
published feature story, Holding
Up Train" in which a former train
robber told the author how easy a
task it is and how little trouble the
robber has who keeps his head and
does the work as he has planned it.
The robbery Of the Worlds Fair
special on the Illinois Central railroad
near Chicago a short time ago might
have been the crime described in the
magazine article, so nearly did the
circumstances compare The article.
however, appeared in print some
months before the robbery was com
mitted and now railroad officials and
detectives seriously think that the
men who held up the worlds fair Wis
itors used the magazine story as a
handbook and secured their ideas
from it.
Three boys who have committed
any number of crimes have been ar
rested in Chicago and admit that they
were steady readers of Chicago's "yel.
lowest" newspaper, a journal which
features the crime of the country and
tells the story of the robberies, muir
derS and other acts of laWlessness
with the minutest attention to details.
Here are two examples of the evils
of yellow journalism. That the stories
of crimes can be told without resort
ing to such sensational methods is adj
mitted, but that there is class Of
readers who demand the yellow. lit
erature there can be no doubt 1t is
to be regretted, however, that the
press is loaning it's influence to agen-
cfes so disgraceful and it is hoped that
these examples will have some effect,
at least, toward stopping the yellow
trend.

HIGH PRICES FOR AMERICAN
LABOR.

The democrats have, since the civil
war, won two national elections, and
both were won by making the people
believe that prosperity was on the
wane and that high prices were robbing
the people of their earnings The out
cry against high prices has begun for
this campaign. 1t may be admitted
that prices Of American products have
been on the increase for seven years
or ever since the enactment of the
Dtngley tariff law. 1t may be admitted
that the republican tariff law is re-
sponsible for the advance in prices. Mr..
Dingley, the author of that act. prom
ised that it would advance prices. Il
was intended as an act to advance the
price of American labor from foreign
competition. AS all the products of the
American market are the products of
American labor. it is only reasonable
that these prices should increase in
something like the proportion that the
price of labor increased
The democrats have noted the in.
crease in the price of meat and eggs
and corn and potatoes, which enter in
to the food products of the people.
They have not noted the advance in the
price of labor. Perhaps they have been
able to find proof of this advance in
the cost of labor. If they have not been
able TO find such proof, we refer them
to the last report of the bureau Of
labor of which Carroll D. Wright is
the executive head Mr.. Wright was
appointed commissioner of labor by
President Cleveland and his work has
never been considered as partisan in
any sense He has just concluded an
investigation regarding the wages and
cost of living for a period Of ten years
from 1890 to 1900 1t is the most care.
full and exhaustive investigation of the
subject that has been made in this
country.
1t shows that wages and opportuni-
ties for work declined from 1890 to
1894 and that from 1897 to 1903 there
has been constant and steady in
crease in both.
1t shows that in 1903 there were
more people employed than ever be-
fore and that they received higher
wages than We're ever before paid in
this or any other country 1t shows
that hours are shorter, wages higher.
earnings greater and savings larger
than in any other year of our history
The democrats VINO are complaining
about high prices should study Com
missioner Wright's report if they want
to learn the cause of high prices and
what is really the one commodity that
has advanced most in price. They will
find that commodity is American
labor. While the wages of working
men in England and Germany and
France have been almost stationary
for many years past, the wages of
working men in the United States have
