When Mr.. Gompers and other la
Dor leaders presented the bill Of
grievances against the Republican
party to President Roosevelt, the
latter asserted with considerable heat
that the eight hour law had been rig

Mr.. Roosevelt that from this day on
the law is to be enforced. Somebody

President FaIliereS.

Clement Armand Faliieres today

deputies assembled in joint session

Quick intellect, sound judgment,
and strong will, stimulated by enthu-

characteristics of this plain. demo-
cratic citizen who today receives the
highest political honor which the
French people can bestow. In politics
an ardent Republican, he belongs to
that radical group of the party who
are firm believers in anti-clericalism

Mr.. StillingS' Frank Statements.

For the comfort and assurance of
those men and women who have given
the Government efficient service in the
past and are continuing to do so, the
Public Printer desires to inform all such
that just as long as Tney do what is
right and give the Government the best
there is in them. by working cheerfuIly.
honestly, and faithfully. they Will, not
be disturbed, except they give good
cause for it, or the condition OF business
does not warrant their further employ
ment.
This is the reinsurance given by
Public Printer StiIlings to quiet the
stories which have been gathering
force in the Government Printing
Office ever since his assumption of
office Some confusion is, perhaps,
unaveTtible when the head OF so
large an institution, intrusted with
so much responsibility, is changed,
and the lack of confidence among
the subordinates until that confusion
is ended is always one of the hardest
things the newcomer has to COM
bat. Mr.. Sillings chooses the only
effective way of restoring confidence
to his associates when ne addresses
them directly.
The episode calls attention particu-
larry to the ease with which rumors
Of every nature can be circulated in
some of the Governmental bureaus.
Nothing is too preposterous to be be-
lieved or too ftimsy tc be repeated.
Some departments are as full of gos-
gip all the time as the proverbial
sewing society can be on occasion.
OF course, this condition could not
exist if men and women otherwise
sensible and trustworthy were not
willing TO pass the chatter on. There
can be no remedy of it unless those
same men and women are made to
realize how senseless the whole pro-
ceeding is. And it is much 10 be
doubted If there is any leadership
in such a matter which their super
iors can assume with any prospect
of practical results The clerks
themselves must put a stop to it.
No one else can.

Good News for the District.

The District of Columbia will profit
specially by the purchase of ground
within it's borders for the Carnegie
Institution as announced yesterday.
With generous quarters for its adj
ministrative Offices and extensive
laboratory accommodations here, the
university will seem to have, and
will have actually, much more in
innate association with Washington
than ever before.
In its general scheme this enter
prise justifies itself every year. What
the nation has needed has been an
opportunity for its most progressive
students to specialize to the farthest
degree, not more opportunity for
the body OF It's students to obtain
general education. For such special
study, great buildings and an elab-
orate equipment at one point have
not been required, but rather funds
TO sustain the investigators in the
best fields for their study. No num-
Der of imposing lecture halls. for
example, could promise as much light
on the Arthurian legends as the pres
ent undertaking of the institution TO
maintain a specialist in English
literature while he hunts through
the old manuscripts and early books
OF the London libraries.
An administration building has
been needed, however, and it has now
become clear 10 the Judgment of the
officers that a laboratory for special
study could be used to great advant-
age. The news of yesterday means
that such structures are to be erected
where they will overlook the Capital,
and, further, that the institution is
not only meeting its opportunities
as fast as they arise. but also that
the operation is proving of great ad-
vantage to Washington. The COM
munity, Official and resident. will fol-
low the construction OF the first per
manent quarters with the greatest

SUGGESTIONS FOR DEFENSE.

a Reader" of rural route No ?.
Copemish. Mich. suggests that an i'm
provsment of tho system of national
defense might be made by adopting
these original ideas of his own:
l. Provide for q regular army of 800
600 men by admitting TO West Point
every American boy, enlarging the
capacity or the institution if necessary.
2. Give every American boy with mil
itary ambitions chance to get training
by establishing military schools in ery
State
3. Provide for volunteer army of
COO 900 men by organizing militia
company in every township "OT Wher-
ever twenty-five or more men can be
found willing to join Give the country
boy chance the same is given his
city cousin. He is worth IT. He needs
the drill and his country needs him.
simultaneously a Detroiter COMES
forward with another suggestion along
the same lines. THE revolution he
says. like the civil war. was fought
and won by men trained in the use of
guns by hunting.
Therefore. let Congress PISS q law
requiring every boy 10 wear brass but
tons on his vest and go hunting once
each week.
"1o say that this would make the
country unsafe to live in is begging
the question. So much shooting would
train the nation to the use OF arms.
