Los Angeles herald., 1905-06-10
THE SCANDINAVIAN SITUATION

The critical situation of affairs in the Scandi-
navian peninsula will make a focus Of national
attention
Norway has set up in the business of government
on its own account. What kind of government it
shall have appears to be question of doubt and it is
quite certain that it will be allowed to consum-
mate an entirely independent plan.
1t is understood that the more progressive element
of Norway's population would like to try the expert
ment of a republic That idea, however, is sure to
meet with objection from Sweden and with
disfavor by all the monarchies of Europe.
Norway now is back to condition somewhat sim
liar to the in which II placed nearly hundred
years ago. During period of than four hundred
years. ending with the latter part Of the Napoleonc
era, Norway had been part of kingdom in joint
partnership with Denmark and Sweden The three
partners were practically independent except in
affairs affecting other nations and throughout the
long period of the alliance they friendly and
prosperous.
The aggression Of Napoleon in 1918 forced Den
mark to espouse his cause and that caused the dis
ruption of the Scandinavian alliance. Norway and
Sweden were beaten into submission to the sway of
Napoleon. Ultimately Norway and Sweden al
lied in 1914 The king Of Sweden recognized
the sovereign of Norway but the contract stipulated
that the Norwegans should retain their constitution
and enjoy full liberty and independence within their
cwn boundaries.
In the present situation it is a question: in the
first place. whether Sweden will recognize Norway's
right to break the alliance, in view of the likelihood
of grave consequences to Sweden. If Sweden takes
an aggressive stand in the matter it probably will
have the moral backing, at least, of Germany and
Great Britain 1t is question present therefore,
whether Norway will succeed in the attempt to cut
the igament that so long has joined it to Sweden.
The latest report of Scandinavian population makes
that of Norway 224OOOO and Of Sweden 5,1S6,OO0.

nae IMPuRn HOOD avn

In taking up the subject Of pure food in It's broad
Specification the California Federation Of Womens Clubs
has hit upon subject that is obviously Of the highest
Importance Even eminent former president OF the
United States who recently rasped womens clubs
sharply, would commend the movement alluded TO-
There are ffty-hve clubs. reported in the Los An
geles district Of the federation and determined effort
by such phaanx would undoubtedly be potent In re-
forming the whole iniquIty of food adulteraton.
The local authorities Of Los Angeles have shown
commendable ZEAL laerly in striving to abate the I'M
pure food evil and this zeal Is fully appreciated and
recognized by the organization in question The field
for such reform is vast however penetrating as IL
does nearly every article Of human consumption that
too much cannot be done in the OF strengthening
the hands of the authorities. While Los Angeles Is
properly stirred by the evils Of the liquor traffic 1t is
we'll known fact that there other evils equally gar
ing but insidiously disguised, harmful to human
health those which arise from the liquor drinking
habit.
It is amazing, in view Of all the light thrown upon
the subject of adulteraion in what eat drink and
in the form Of medicines that the practice is
suppressed as effectively It is in all the leading
countries Europe the countries Of the old world
the regulations affecting foods drinks and medicines

while in country they left chiefly to state and
local control. The federal authorities are making
progress from year to year, in eliminating the impure
food evil. but we woeully lacking in comparison
with the effectiveness Of adopted by foreign
governments.
Now that there is a lu in agitation of the saloon

A DOUBLE-ACTION RULE

The labor rule established by the Panama canal
commission is Of the kind that works both ways"
1t works rather inconsstently, ALSO in notable
spec is understood that contracts have been made
on behalf of the commission for many thousands of
foreign laborers chiefly Japanese Such contracts
not permissible under the laws Of the United States
1t is claimed however, that these laws do not conflict
with operations in the Panama republic, nowithstand
ing the absolute American control the canal
Now note the other side of that labor rule in its
duplex action From Washington comes this statement
under date June s: "The opinion of Attorney General
Moody regarding the application of the eighthour law
on the Isthmus holds that the act August
l. 1892 which limits and restricts to eight hours the
daily service of laborers and mechanics employed by
the government of the United States by any con-
tractor or subcontractor upon the public of the
United States applies to the employment of laborers
and mechanics in the construction of the Panama
canal"
If a federal law relating TO the hours of labor is ap
pcable in the canal why should not another fed
ea law concerning contract labor also be applicable in
that zone? opinion just written by the attorney
general seems to conflict also, with decision rendered
some months ago relative TO the shipping of lumber
suppies from our northern Pacific ports for the
construction of the canal Objection made by
American vessel owners to the shipment of such sup
plies in foreign craft of conflict with the
national rule that foreign vessel shall not trade be-
tween the ports any maritime country In that
It was held that the prohibition did not apply because
the port Panama though part of the canal zone is
not technically American port
It looks as the rule governing labor in the canal
zone were the kind that not only works both ways
but works both ways at once.

He saw the smudge across her nose,

FREAK ADVERTISEMENTS

II Veteran Warrior Is Decided to Be
Chief Of Governors staff He
VIII Have to Do
Honors
Special to The Herald.

BOSTON, Mass, June 9.-The Miles
Roosevelt controversy is again loom
ing UP here in quite an unexpected
way. The president Is to visit the state
Of Massachusetts, during June and Will
be the guest of the commonwealth
share Of the time during his stay, and
he must be received by the state au-
thorities. Herein the impending trouble
lies.
Lieut.. Governor Guild has received a
letter from the presidents secretary,
William Loeb, relative to President
Roosevelts visit. The president will
go to Worcester June 2t to attend the
commencement exercises Of Clark uni
versity. on the 22d he goes to Will
Jamestown to attend the Williams col
lege commencement That night he
will return to oyster Bay and remain
there until the 27th, when he will again
come to Massachusetts to attend the
Harvard commencement on the 2Sth.

ed as to the form the courtesies to be

is proposed to send a deputation of the
governors military staff to meet the
presidential train after it crosses the
state line and accompany the chief ex-
ecutive of the nation to his destina-
ton.
PerpIexing Question Arises
Here comes up the perplexing ques-
tion: who shall constitute this dele
cation, which must include the chief
of the governors staff? General Miles
is head of Gov. Douglas military fam
ily At least that is the view the pub
lie takes of it here.
When General Miles was appointed
on Governor Douglas staff 1t was Civ
en- out that his designation was to be
"chiet of staff in spite Of the fact that
the adjutant-general has always been
chief of the governors staff, and Gen-
eral Miles was not to be adjutant-gen-
eral.
William Stopford is the adjutant-gen-
respondent:
Whom will the governor send to rep
resent him on the escort to be fur
nished the PRESIDENT"
II don't know, I'm sure, but I sup
pose his excellency will designate his
chief of staff for one; I believe that
has been the custom on similar occa-
sions in the past
"You mean General Miles?'
General Miles is not chief of staff. >
"Who is, then?"
"The adjutant-general."
"How long since?"
"Since the constitution of the COM
monwealth was adopted"
"Then you are the chief of the gov
ernors staff?"
Certainly"
"And what then is General Milesas"
"He is the military adviser of the
governor"
Here General Stopford ended the COL
loquy, declining to discuss the matter
further.
Governor Is Noncommittal
Now it is up to Governor Douglas to
designate who shall receive the presi-
dent.
Roosevelt and Miles are not on cor
dial terms with each other, to say the
least, and Governor Douglas is aware
of the fact, but he will not discuss it
at the present time. If he decides
General Miles shall do the honors for
the state it will not be pleasant duty,
for General Miles can not have for
gotten the reprimand Of him by Roose-
welt.
Altogether the situation just now is
little mixed. and unpleasant possibili-
ties are looming to view to some of
Boston's leading citizens who wish to
