thing for the ignorant voter TO accomplish.
If the stalwarts bolt and print with their

and the regulars print the names Of only
eleven. there must be splitting Uniform

to be made openly, however. If there were
no state ballot law there would be no spe-
cfal complication over the factional fight, so
far as the presidency is concerned Rather
would the internal struggle help Rooseveit's
candidacy, as it would ensure the fullest
possible republican vote for him. 1t has

The Wisconsin Problem.

The Wisconsin problem grows in COM
pexity. The LaFollette faction of the re-
publican party has been declared by the
state supreme court to be the regular party
and entitled to the party emblem. The
Spooner faction had beer previously recog-
nized by the republican national copven-
ton. The secretary of state WILL under
printed with the LaFollette candidates for
the state offices designated as the regular
nominees and probably with all thirteen of
the presidential electors named by that
faction likewise printed in the same column
The "stalwarts" now declare that they will
not accept the verdict of the state court
but will run an independent ticket under the
title national republican. Under the state
law they cannot print in duplicate the names
of the thirteen presidential electors. for
that law prohibits the naming of airy can
didate twice on the same ballot sheet
Two of the electors before the courts de-
cision declared their presereuca 10 have
their names included in the Spooner ticket
if one Is printed. They may row refuse TO
allow their names to be used in the La

A New Phase of the Dirt Nuisance

IN amusing turn OF affairs brings the
Dlstrici Officials in charge of the construc-
ton OF the new municipal building into con-

among the citizens against the fouling of
streets by dirt dropped from wagons The
work on the new structure was interrupted

ers were arrested on the charge that they
were Violating the police regulations Now
an appeal Is made to the Commissioners to
have these men declared exempt from the
rule At least that would be the effect of
any orders specifically issued in this case.
unless II is conceivable that the police are
particularly vigiiant in watching these drfv-
eTs and are trying unusually hard to make
cases against them.
This dirt-hauling nuisance has worried
the people of Washington for a long time,
and no satisfactory solution seems likely
until the Commissioners take up the whole
question and treat it broadly. The citizens
of lexington a few months ago carried n

unusual public discomfort Later the owner

Japan's War Cost.

If any doubt as to Japan's appreciation
OF the magnitude of her war task remained
in the minds of westerners. that doubt
should be dispeIled by Count Okuma' :
frank statement before the members of the
united clearing houses of Japan Yesterday
that the country must prepare for a long
war, the date of the end of which cannot
now be foretold. Count Okuma is leader
OF the progressive party, and a nan of
hrst consequence in Japan He is plainly
a shrewd judge of men. With his warning
that the struggle may be greatly pro-
longed, he uttered a few words calculated
to hearten those who might otherwise have
been depressed The Russians he said,

Okuma. will cost Japan $1,000. 900. COO in

won by the close of 1903 That would be

of the stake. Nothing is now more certain
than that Japan must win this war if she

During the next year the empire must

the iinanciers of Japan that if as much as

the country must face depreciation in the
value of its securities. This is a bid for :,
domestic absorption of the debt. and mucb
now depends upon the degree in which the
warning stirs the people to put their say

as a strong showing of confidence. and
would greatly hcarten the Japanese armies

this country the Archbishop of Canterbury
mas revealed himself as churchman Of

Makes Employees Responsible.


From the New York Journal of Commerce.
A New Jersey judge has thrown upon rail-
way employees the responsibility of refusing
to work when illness or fatigue renders
them incapable of paying proper attention
to their work, and demands that they sac
rifice their employment rather than endan-
ger the lives of travellers. This Is lofty
ethics, but it is asking too much of human
nature. especially human nature that Is
paid two even four dollars day. If a
man is sick he is the first to know it, and he
may be required to act accordingly; but If
he has been working for thirty hours with
out rest the officers of the company know
just about as much about 1t as he does, and
the responsibility of keeping him at work
when he can't be expected to remain awake
rests primarily upon some man higher up"
The companies are taxing increasing pains
to have only physically vigorous men in
their employ. 1t is even more important
that engineer. trainman or telegrapher
should be in condition to keep awake than
that he should have a good physique.

regulation be suspended for his benefit. This
was resisted by the citizens and denied by
the Commissioners on the ground that it
would establish a dangerous precedent. The
Star then suggested ttat instead of a sus-
pension of the rule evs9y dirt-hauling con-
tract be rendered subject to permit based
upon specific conditions framed In accord
ance with the surrounding circumstances.
The matter should not be left to the whim
of policemen or the enterprise or indigna ion
of citizens.
1t cannot be contended that there is less
nuisance involved in dirt-dropping because
the dirt comes from an excavation for a
public building than from a privately owned
Site Nor should the comfort and health of
the people be threatened merely to permit
the prosecution of any work. however i'm
portant. If there is possible way to pre-
vent. If these wagons engaged in hauling
dirt from the District building site were
stopped it is altogether probable that their
drivers were really amenabie to the law,
whether the blame was on them or on the
excavators and leaders.
The contractor for this building should
be placed in just the same position any
other Obviously the dirt must be taken
out in order to make hole, and equally
plain is 1t that is must be hauled away. If
there Is no sure means of conveyance with
out fouling the streets. then the streets
must be cleaned thoroughly Behind the
wagons. Experience proves that the efforts
of the contractors, whether engaged on
public or private work. to clean up after
these wagons are more or less perfunctory.
The fact is assured that the streets are
fouled, and by these wagons. Therefore,
the question now before the Commissioners
is whether they cannot find some means of
really enforcing the law against all offend
ers and of keeping the streets clean even
during the prosecution of these works. Ger
tainly the rule should be so amended as to
put each contractor on a basis of full I'M
'derstanding of what he has to do, and then
he should be held to his task. and fined If
he fails, whoever may be his employer

The Fakir's Ceaseless Activity.

The New York Tribune prints the follow
ing from Washington:
1.-The Miners Magazine which recently
gained notoriety by publishing the fake
letter alleged to have been written by Pres
ident Roosevelt to President Donnely of the
Butchers and Meat Cutters Union, has
once more distinguished itself by the publ

dent as an inventor.

The Campaign in Manila
is Is the latest from Manila:

"A mass-meeting of Filipinos is to be held
Sunday at the National Theater. The call
for the meeting states its purpose to be to
take some definite action upon the popular
desire, to wit, the giving of our sincere sup
port and sympathy to the American conn.,
mittee on Philippine independence in its eff
forts to attain the end we desire. 1t would
