Mi Mr. shaw &C. promntlr ?

Now that the fume and fury of the
campaign have subsided, and while the air
IS vibrant with the thunder OF the cap
tains and the shouting. we make bold to di-
rect the attention Of the Hon. Leslie Morti-
mer Shaw to a current news item which we
suspect and which we hope does him an
injustice. In the excitement Of the can
vass just closed we refrained from ex-
plotting the matter because TO have done
SO would have subjected us to the un-
just criticism of partisan bias At that
time. too. Mr.. Shaw was celebrating him
self and being celebrated by his grateful
countrymen in various parts Of the coun-
try. 1t would have been putting the
nauseating Fly into the ointment Of perfect
Joy, personal and national, had we in
truded upon his preoccupation at a time
.of stress, when the suffragans needed the
light Of his countenance and the wisdom
OF his counsel worse than the Treasury
Department at Washington needed him
While Mr.. Shaw was swinging around
the circle a few weeks ago shedding light
in dark places. the steamship Carmania
arrived in New York harbOr from foreign
parts. Aboard the Carmania was GER
tain opulent citizen Of the metropolis, who
brought with him two nests Of yellow ants
that were imported for the amusement of
the citizens household. 1t is related that
when he told the vigilant customs IN
spectors that he had a consignment of
ants those officials looked queerly at the
Opulent citizen. They understood him
only when he showed them a glass case
that was partly filed with dark earth. and
in which about a million ants were work
ing. The customs officials gazed earnestly
ct the ants. Then they put their heads
| together and conversed in low but con-
vulsive tones. They could find nothing
in the tariff regulations against the i'm
portation Of ants, and so they gave the
joyous citizen free entry for his ants
What concerns US now Is to know what
Mr.. Secretary Shaw is going to do about
this. Approvingly we recall how about
two years ago an American citizen, who
attempted to bring undressed frog legs
across the border from Canada to this
protected land. was compelled by a ruling

Hnahes. Great Task.

Adopting the phrase Of the street. 1t S
up to" Charles Z. Hughes now. His is
the job Hearst was anxious 10 tackle; his
place to alleviate the public wrongs un-
der which the people Of a great Common
wealth are smarting For the issues in
New York were men and methods. not
the things needed 20 be done. As 20 the
last. there is all but unanimity. No doubt,
the unrest of which Hearst is the prin-
cipal spokesman, and for which he is in
part responsible, has substantial ground
for existence and expression. Testimony
to this effect comes from high and low,
from all the organs of public opinion
except those hopelessly bourbonisuc, and,
lastly. and most significantly, from the
masses of the people themselves, whose
voice has so fOrcibly spoken in the great
vote poiled by Hearst.
Mr. Hughes COnfrOnts. therefore. pTac-
ticaIly the same task as that which would
have confronted Mr.. Hearst. The people
of New York have decided that in placing
a brake upon the power of wealth they
prefer the conservative method Of Hughes
rather than the sensational method of
Hearst This decision is characteristic Of
the American electorate. which has more
than once determined that whatever OF
so-called radicalism may be considered
necessary for the health of the body
polite shall be administered by the con
seVative party. And it is part of the
political game that the conservative party
shall appease radical sentiment by tax
ing into its platform such portion Of the
radical creed as may be thought neces-
sary to that end. In this way, of late
years, much so-caIled political progress
has been accomplished, both in this coun-
try and in England
From this point OF view. Hearsts loss
has been something Of a gain for his own
cause. His defeat he may take To him
self; it was not a reputation Of the i'm
portant matters he stands for like more
stringent regulation Of corporations anC
freedom from corrupt b0ssism ia politics
The real evils he cOmbatted stand con
victed even by his defeat. for Hughes is
their accuser also. Il viii be interesting

Dismissal in Discrnce-

The action Of President Roosevelt in

every enlisted man and all the non-com-
missioned officers in Companies 3. c.
and d. Twenty-ffth Infantry, coIored

wind OF comment The punishment is so
radical in its character and establishes
such a unique precedent that it Will ex-
cite both approval and condemnation.
Conservative minds viii be apt to view
the matter with something less than the
extreme view which the President enter
tains; while. on the other hand, there
viii be many who viii insist that in at
tempting to shield the guilty few the
otherwise innocent soldiers have merited
their severe fate.
Upon the whole, we are inclined to
think that the Presidents course viii be
sustained. A number of colored soldiers

There was absolutely no provocation for

was made to discover the offenders, all
the soldiers maintained silence, and thus
prevented the law from being invoked.
Their action was UnquestOnably based
upon mistaken sentiment Of loyalty to
one another. They ought to have known
better. As soldiers. it was their duty TO
deliver the offenders to the proper au-
thorities. They had no right to shield a
murderer or murderers. a point Of even
greater importance is emphasized by Gen.

specific provision in the Dingiey bill for
the protection of American frog legs as
such-an oversight on the part OF the
trainers OF that law which arouses our
wonder-but there was and IS specific pro-
vision In that voluminous statute for the
protection Of American chickens. BY a
process Of reasoning as satisfactory 70 the
country as 1t is patriotic, Secretary
Shaw established an intimate relation be-
tween undressed frog legs and undressed
chicken, and ever siace that happy solu-
iion of a problem too tough to be dealt
with by subordinates Of the Treasury De-
paFtment. undressed frog legs have had
to pay the tariff duty imposed upon un-
dressed chickens imported into this eoun-
try from any alien domain.
Il is plain that the foreign frog should
not be Disseminated against, if the for
eign ant is TO be allowed free access to
our shores The amphibian is a lesser
evil than the emmett. The frog cannot in
nict the thousandth part of injury upon
American industries that can be inflicted
by the ant. In the frog leg ruling Sec
Tetary Shaw had clearly in mind the con-
ception that the trainers of the Dingley
bill meant to protect every American in

soning he can and ought to-bring ants

tiferous beasts. multiply with amazing
rapidity, and for all We know, the con-

New York may be the progenitors Of
swarms that will lay waste the corn

fore he leaves Office. have rigorous meas
ures taken 10 correct the grave error

Never Took a Vocation.

That the faithfulness and industry Of
government clerks are misunderstood by
the public through the facetiousness Of
the pert paragraphers was illustrated by
the career Of EvyIin s Hall, brought 10 a
close by death q few days ago. For
thirty years MIR. Hall had been a clerk
in the Post-ofFice Department. and latter
ly chief Of the files division. and in all
that stretch Of time. he never claimed
his right TO take a vacation Until quite
recently, every clerk in the government
service IN Washington was entitled 20
thirty days sick leave. and thirty days
vacation. Now they are entitled only 20
thirty days vacation. though on the GER
tificate Of a physician, they may draw fun
pay for thirty days sick leave The rec
ord shows that Mr. Hall did not, in the
thirty years Of his service, absent him
self from his duties even thirty days on
account Of sickness. Tt is believed that
no private institution in the country can
show a similar example OF faithfulness
on the part of an emplOye. Mr.. Halls
case is not the only one in the govern
ment service.

sIeen and Longevity.

The Hon. John D. Long, former Repre-
sentative in Congress, former governor of
Massachusetts. and former Secretary OF
the Navy, celebrated his sixty-eighth
birthday recently. and gave as one reason
OF his robust health and strength at this
goodly age that he had always gone TO
bed at O'Clock and had ten hours of
sleep. Speaker Cannon, aged seventy and
bordering on seventy-one, declared face
tiously when asked what he thought Of
the Long prescription that every one
should be in bed at 9 o'clock in the morn
ing Unless he was sick. the Speaker
was never known to be in bed at O'Clock
in the morning. He, perhaps, sleeps less
than any living American statesman. IN
less IL be the Hon. John Dalzel. who
suffers from insomnia. When in Wash
ington, Uncle Joe finds enough to do
every night TO keep him up till past mid
night, and he gets up with the chickens
looking as fresh and vigorous as any
youngster who may have had twelve
hours or more Of sleep. President Roose-
velt tries to bring his average Of sleep
up to eight hours out of every twenty
four. and If for any cause he miss that
much slumbeT one night he Will make it
up the next. Secretary Root is an irregu-
lar sleeper, as he is irregular in most Of
his routine habits. When asked some
time ago how much sleep he got, his re-
ply was that he got as much as he could
and called 1t enough. Hon. John Sharp
Williams, Democratic leader Of the
House, has been known to sit up all
night working on an important speech for
the next day and rot 20 get a wink of
sleep until the next night The loss OF
sleep does not seem to affect in any way
