Two hundred laborers are wanted by
the District government TO work under
the direction of the engineer Of highways.
They are being sought by advertisement,
and unless they respond to this appeal
proposed public improvements must suf-

IS scarce.
At the same time. there are over three
hundred able-bodied men now occupying
the municipal workhouse. a large pro-
portion Of them were committed for in

but many scores were sent down because
they We're acknowledged Migrants. The
curious anomaly is presented, therefore.
Of the District government seeking 200
labcrers TO engage ia honest and com
paratively remunerative work, with diff
Guilty in obtaining them. and yet it is af-
fording free board and lodging TO a great
er number. We do not know that the
situation can be remedied, but it certainly
invites serious comment. The question
naturally arises whether or not We are
too generous in dealing with the lazy and
idle population. To be sure, some Of the
inmates of the workhouse are made 20
work. They labor in Rock Creek Park
ana upon certain unimproved streets in
the outskirts OF the city. Il is extremely
doubtful, however. whether the munich
pality receives in labor anything like a
proportionate return for the cost of hous-
ing and feeding the workhoUse inmates.
The latter are evidently well satisfied
with their condition. They sleep in warm
and comfortable hunks. They are certain

The UtiIization OF Waste

Ohe OF the most remarkable and inter
esung tendencies of modern civilization
Is the utilization of materials hitherto
considered worthless.
IN municipal administra ton this utigiza-
ton OF vase mas been developed 10 p

burned or otherwise destroyed is now
converted into a source CT revenue. it

In every phase of commercial endeavor
this utilization Of waste has been reduced

something New rnder the sun.

Wien solomon declared there was moth
ing new under the sun. he had never con
sidered the possible future existence of
Wisconsin. Had the so-caIed ''wisest Of
men" been forewarned Of the Forthcoming
American appearance OF this great State.
We have no doubt that he would have re-
Trained from uttering the remark attrib-
uted 10 him. for Wisconsin has undoubt-
edly come forward with something en-
tiTely new and unheard OF under the sun.
The present State administration of
Wisconsin refuses to accept any further
taxes from the downtrodden-cxCep and
alone for school purposes-and announces
that there is d surplus above all estimates
Of $2,6O0coo now in the treasury. not to
mention some 100000 on the outside
clamoring for admission, In addition 20
this. the promise is made that practically
81 $4,000 viii be remitted TO taxpayers as
cash in hand tor which the State has no
earthly use. Not only will the adminis-
tration decline to accept more than
enough 10 conduct that states affairs in
a businesslike and economical manner.
but positively declines TO have any such
thing as a surplus lying around to
annoy and, perhaps. tempt. The govern
ment has reverted 10 the old-fashioned
notion Of taxation for necessary. revenue
only.
II this isn't something new under the
sun then Solomon was right-there
cannot be. For its parallel a search Of
history seems vain As an example Of
refreshing newness and novelty, it stands
quite in a class by itself.
This happy state OF affairs is attribu-
table 10 the new taxation law by which
the railroads of the Saate are forced to
pay about three millions annually into
the State treasury. This Is an increase
in tax revenue from railroad sources Of
about 40 per cent, and seems TO be
one Of the fruits Of Senator La FoIette's S
long-drawn-out fight in Wisconsin. In
deed, ii looks very much ike the rail-
roads, for once in their lives, are paying
the freight.
II is an old saying that nothing is
sure, save death and taxes" Wisconsin
seems 10 have altered TINS tfme-honored
proverb. Tor even taxation seems uncer-
tain in that great State.

Roots Arraignment of Hearst

The whole country knows to-day what
the administration az Washington thinks
OF William Randolph Hearst, Democrats
candidate for governor Of New York.
BY direct authority of the President. the
Secretary OF State, Hon Elihu Root. has
spoken-spoken as Elihu Root only can
speak. No such scathng arraignmeut Of
Il public man ever before came from
The lips Of a Cabinet officer.
Hearst is piIlOried by Root as Hearst,
through his newspapers. mas piuoried
other men. The assassination Of Presi-
dent Mckinley is laid at his very door.
He is called TO account for the outbUsts
OF reckless, free-handed writer's; held up
10 public view as a menace TO the state
and Nation-an eXploiter of q species OF
Journalism that makes for mischief and
disorder. If no other public man was
ever 50 arraigned, it is because no other
public man was ever so fine a subject fo-
such an arraignment.
Fire is met with FIRE
The speech itself, the timing OF it and
the delivery of it-by direction of the
President-involve a dramatic art and a
sense Of spectacular effect that the aptest
pupil in Mr.. Hearst's school Of sensa-
tionalism well might emulate and envy.
The Secretary of State gives New York
and the country at large something to
think about
If the great body Of voters who 90 to
the polls on Tuesday hold William Ran
dolph Hearst responsible, as the admin
istrauon does, for the wild utterances Of
his unbridled newspapers, he will receive
the smallest vote ever cast for any man
running for Office. But viii they do il?
With the extraordinary conditions now
prevailing in New York, nobody can
tell.
Mr.. Roots speech may render the re-
Sult less uncertain, but uncertainty will
continue until the votes are counted.

Third Assistant Attorney General
Russell and What lie Has Done.

Gus j. kaTgeT. in Cincinnati Times-StsT
Sometimes, In approving the great poll
cies Of an administration, the compare
lively little fellows are overlooked when
/ II comes 10 distributing the bouquets.
Take that Isthmian canal question, for
instance.
Far be it from me to detract from the
credit that is due 10 the great orfginators
and executors Of that gigantic enterprise.
But there are others. the little ones, who
don't always get all that's due them.
There's Assistant Attorney General
Charles ~. Russell. for Instance.
He isn't n particularly conspicuous ser
want CT the people. but some Of his
achievements deserve mention most
honorable Not a man in Washington is
more thoroughly in touch with the devel-
Opments. past and future, Of that tremen-
dOus enterprise in Panama. From its very
inception he has been consulted on every
important step When p. c. Knox was
Attorney General he made a trip 10 Paris
20 make the contract with the old Panama
company air and water tight. Russell
went along, and Attorney General Knox
leaned heavily on him. Every paper bear
ing on the case was drawn IN by Russell
Every negotiation was watched by Rus
sell. Every contingency was considered
by him and every policy subsequently
adopted was first submitted for his ap-
Dr0vdl. But be didn't have the spot lights
thrown On him.
Now the administration has adopted a
new policy. The canal is 70 be built by
contract. rather than by forces controlled
directly BY the government. Whatever
credit may be attached 10 this action goes
directly 10 the Isthmian Canal Commits
sion. Yet Russell was the pioneer in that
field. Directly upon his return from Paris
he began to agitate the question He
wrote long arguments In favor Of Just that
proposition He gave Attorney General
Knox his views IN writing So persistent
was he IN the matter that he aroused the
displeasurc OF Mr. Shonts. who al that
time was not ready 20 take shat position
Now he has adopted H. But whore does
Assistant Attorney General Russell
come in?
Russell was appointed to his present po-
sition from Wheeling W. Va. He is "a na-
tive Of Virginia. It was Russell who took
up the case of United states Marshal
Vivian J. Fagin, Of Cincinnati. when As
sistaut Attorney General Robb. now a
judge Of the District Court OF Appeals,
was compelled 10 drCD il because Of the
stress Of other business. His decision in
that case was against Fagin. although lac
was convinced that both l,ttorney General
Moody and President Roosevelt would
have been glad 10 have the circumstances
