regard labor as an ever present force
worthy OF consideration. Legislatures
which had been chary of adopting other
labor measures showed no inclination
to combat this Enthusiastically popular
demand for brand new holiday.
1t is true also that much previous leg
islation had paved the way toward the
legal conservation of one day each year
to labor en- fete. Something akin to the
principle that the government has the
right to prescribe in certain directions
the conditions under which men and
women toll and to secure them time and
opportunity for rest and even for rec
reation had already been established in
many states by the adoption of factory
laws and factory inspection The ten
hour working day for women and chill
dren had been obtained. The employ
ment of young children in mills and
workshops had been restricted and
their education had been made a sub
ject of legislative solicitude. Ma
chinery had been made safer by guards
and frequent inspection. Wages were
paid less infreQuently, and the COM
pany store was less prominent in the
matter of settlement In some favored
localities legal observance of the Sat-
urday half holiday had begun. Mu-
inequalities had established industrial
schools and convict labor had been
withdrawn from the competition in the
labor market. Bureaus of labor statis-
tics had been founded to investigate
the industrial situation.
In line with all this industrial prog
ress was the setting apart of Labor
day. The trade unions, which were so
| instrumental in securing the beneficial
codes governing the times and meth
DDS of labor, were also very prominent
in the matter of the September holi-
! day. All differences and animosities
between the great labor organizations
were laid aside and the most admira-
BILE singleness of purpose prevailed.

of him. His constant theme during
the campaign had been the evils which
preceding administrations had allowed
to creep into the tenement districts of
New York. and one of the first acts
of the new district attorney was to
take up his residence in the teeming
east side quarter of the city and to
establish there a branch office for the
benefit of poor Compliments whose

made public that thereafter the branch
| office would be open every night and
that no matter how late the hour any
person seeking justice had but to ring
the bell At first few came. The east
side looked with suspicion on this
gratuitous provision for its benefit.
| After a few daring experimenters had
visited the new Office, however, and had
had their grievances looked into there
was such an influx of seekers after
Justice that the force on duty had to
be doubled and trebled.
| Such a procedure on the part of a
district attorney was not only novel,
but it was also far in excess of his
actual duty When he supplemented it
by providing a residence for himself
and his family in the same tenement,
at Rutgers street, that contained the
| branch office, even his friends were
afraid that he had been too radical.

stances, and the lower east side of

section for those who can live else
where. Since April 3, 1902. it has been

Prince Louis was made a sublieu-
tenant in 1874, when ne was twenty
years of age. Two years later he be-
came lieutenant, and that was still his
rank, in 1884. when he welded the
queens granddaughter. Contrary to
the general expectation and to the
great disgust of his Hessian relatives,
his subsequent promotion was not as
rapid a royal alliance would seem to
have made possible. He was made
commander the year after his mar
riage, but six years elapsed before he

was one of the first men to make

was a generous patron of the sports of

Although his present robustness and
vigor make the assertion seem in
credible, Mr.. Jerome was an extremely
delicate boy, and it was not thought
prudent to expose him to the rough and
tumble methods OF boys preparatory
schools. He was taught at home by
tutors until he was able to enter Am
herst college. He remained there until
the close of his junior year, but was
compelled by failing health to abandon
the idea of graduation. He was en-
dowed with indomitable pluck, and
he at once abandoned all other pur-
suits and began to cultivate physical
strength and muscular development.
AS soon as he was able he entered the
Columbia Law school and was grad
uated in 1884, after which he spent
some time in European travel. In 1883.
four years after his admission to the
bar, Mr.. Jerome was appointed to his
first public ONCE. assistant district at

man of good blood and gentle breeding

them well.

Then there began to be mooted the
question of securing national legis-
lation in the matter. 1t was urged by
the advocates of the scheme that such
action would add greatly to the sta
bility and dignity of the holiday. A
bill was prepared, and it was intro
duced into the lower house on Sept. 6.
1893, by the late Amos ]. Cummings of
New York. Senator Kyle of South
Dakota became sponsor for a bill of the
same nature in the senate. No real
opposition developed, but the matter
was delayed until the following season,
when it was passed and signed by the
president the same day.
The real significance of the day lies
in the fact that it's observance is a
recognition of the dignity of labor. All
questions of local Importance, all con-
troversies arising from the varying in
terpretations of trade principles and
all industrial disputes are alien to its
true meaning. It's practically unani-
nous sanction by the governing bodies
of the separate states and it's final
adoption by the general government
are sufficient evidence of the national
agreement as to its usefulness as q
public expression of respect for all that
the term labor implies. This open
legalized recognition marks the evo-
luton of the workingman from his an
cient condition of bondage and serf-
dom into a higher civil and industrial
atmosphere.
But for the moral force inherent il

festival like Labor day would have M
place in the calendar. Advancing civ.
ilization and the general industrial
progress of the United States assisted

bodies of organized workingmen help

huencing public opinion in their re
spective localities. When the time TO
action came there was no one to dis
sent from the common willingness t.

or any ticket is equal
ly convincing to friend and to foe-to
the former because it confirms the oft
repeated assertion that he is not a
politician in the ordinary acceptation of
the term, and to the latter because it
is fresh evidence that his methods are
unchanged. 1t has taken New York
some time to understand Mr.. Jerome
even as we'll as he is understood today.
He has been eccentric, undeniab1y. and
it is well understood that one cannot
tell what he is going to do next. That
of itself has been more or less dis
quieting to those who have been ac-
customed to look for uniformity in po-
litical methods.
Those who have abundant and ma
terial reasons for doing so are not the
only ones who set their faces against
his ways of doing. There are many
persons, some of them quite as con-
scientious and public spirited as Mr..
Jerome could possibly be, who cannot
attune themselves to his rather spec
tacular fashion of gaining his end. They
are so accustomed to deal with shifty
political bosses, cunning business men
and reformers of lethargic energies
that they fail to recognize that in Mr..
Jerome they may find the powerful
recrudeseence of some old time political
virtues which had become almost OBJ
solete.
Be that as it may, Mr.. Jerome is one
of the most interesting personalities of
the age. He is able. There are many
others who vie with him in that re-
spect. He is full of energy and te-
nacity of purpose. Those virtues, even
when they are really so, are by no
means peculiar to him. TIE quality
that distinguishes Mr.. Jerome and
makes him what he is is sudacity, a
sort of reckless auCacity that domi-
mates him when other men in his place
would be constrained to move quietly.

EM AEa Labor day as ma
EGENN ZEE tional holiday. The
NWkE5 first celebration of the
80 day occurred in New
I ,,,,l Isas,,iiIs5 York city twenty
three years ago. The
general assembly of the Knights of
Labor was holding session at the
time. and it was proposed by P. j.
Mcclure, a prominent labor leader. that
all the trade organizations in the city
should 90 in procession through the
DrincipaI streets. Such a demonstra-
ton. he contended, would be valu-
able object lesson, giving more def
mite idea of the actual power of the
labor forces than all the statistics
that could be compiled. The sugges-
ton met with favor among the dele
gates to the assembly and was acted
upon. The parade came off as adver-
tised and was notable success, al
though many of the organizations were
not yet sufficiently enthusiastic over
the idea to honor the occasion with
their presence. The general public
was attracted by the exhibition and
did not hesitate to express its ap-
prevail The newspapers spoke well of
it and no one seemed to regard it as
an extravaganza.
That is the way in which, without
realizing it at the time, the paraders
and the spectators as well laid the
foundations for the great legal holiday,
which is observed today from one end
of the Union to the other. Every state
and territory, with the exception of
Nevada, North Dakota and Wyoming,
has recognized it's legal existence.
