made by Senator Platt and HIS intiinatcs
that he has no idea Of resigring, there

FINED $4,000 FOR REBATINc.
The Penalty Fixed Against the New

New York. Nov. 2s.-.Judge Holt in
the United States circuit court yester-
day fined the New York Central & Hud.
son River railroad company $4,000 for
Relating freight charges to the American
Sugar Refining company
The fine was the result Of an indict
ment charging the company with rebat-
ing in the sum Of $4,000 to the Ameri-
can Sugar Refining company, on which
charge the defendant company had been
found guilty. Sentence in the case OF
tho American Sugar Refining company,
convicted Of receiving the rebates, was
deferred until next Tuesday on request
Of counsel for the company. There were
two counts in the indictment against the
New York Central and fine of Si0s.000
already had been imposed on the first
count. In passing sentence Judge Holt
denied the contention that corporation
cannot be fined. He declared that corr
poration is responsible for the act Of
its employees under the provisions Of

If a man spent large sum Of money
to pipc water into his house and then
refused to put In taps he would be
thought foolish. II man ordered a
dinner for a dozen guests and then re-
fused to spend money for stamps on the
invitations he would not be considered
saving. If the United States govern
ment spends thirty or forty million dol
lars for a system of coast defenses and
then refuses to pay wages high enough
to secure men to handle the expensive
machinery and keep 1t in order In times
Of peace, what Is to be thought of that
policy? The question of patriotism does
not enter here. In time of war millions
Of men, If necessary, can be enlisted, but
when there Is no stress Of immediate
peril to the country men cannot be
found to do the tiresome work of coast
guards for less than the average wages
of civil positions requiring equal intelli-
gence and training. 1t Is really a patri-
otto duty, but 1t is not 40 regarded.
Each man leaves 1t to some other not so
fortunately situated as himself. If war
should be declared suddenly 1t would be
necessary to intrust the great guns with
their delicate apparatus to green men
full of enthusiasm but capable of put.
ting the defenses In condition to rem.
der no service till the war was over.
The remedy for this state of things was
pointed out by Secretary Taft to the
Senate military committee Less than
one-fourth of the coast defenses could
be manned at present If every man In
the service were utilized. There must
be an appropriation adequate to. the
need. The coast line Of the United
States, without counting In insular pos.
sessions, is altogether too large to be
defended by a navy twice the size of
the present one, and there lie no hope
that the navy will soon be enlarged sur.
fciently to meet possible attack at
points as widely separated as those
which cunning enemy would be likely
to aim at. The relative value of coast
defenses and large navy was consid
cred when the forts along the coast
were planned and equipped. That part
OF the expense has already been incur.
red. 1t would be foolish to let the
money go to waste for lack of a liberal
policy toward the army now.

Opposition to the endless food of
immigrants Is usually based either
upon the fear that they will destroy
the market for native labor or the be-
lief that they will lower the standard
Of citizenship and morality. In either
case the fear Is directed against tho
Immigrant himself. At the recent con-
ventlon, in New York. of the American
Social Science Association, a danger
less often considered was pointed out
that which comes from the second gen
Grafton. The foreign-born population,
according to figures which were given,
furnishes more than twice Its normal
proportion of inmates Of penal, insane
and charitable institutions; but the
children Of immigrants are three times
as criminal as the children of the ma
hve-born, and twice as criminal as the
immigrants themselves.

There are 676 clerks In the employ of

them are In the Department of the In.

1t is significant that only one of the

has power to retain the service Of
clerks and prevent removal except for
good cause. There are seventy six

POVERTY AND PAUPERISM.

Destitute in America Said to Mum.
Der Ten Millions.
Poverty and pauperism have been
studied by a hose of sociologlsts and
there Is an immense literature upon the
subject The most recent book, and,
In many respects, the most noteworthy,
Is the one written by Robert Hunter,
who for many years has been a practi-
cal worker among the submerged tenth,
says American Medicine. He defines
poverty as the condition In which It Is
not possible to obtain those necessaries
which will permit the maintenance Of
state Of physical efficiency.
He also makes the astounding state
ment that there are 100000 people
In poverty In the United States alone
one In every eight. Charles Booth cal
culates that 80 per cent of London's
population. or 100000 people, are In
poverty, and that the rate In smaller
towns is nearly the same ("Life and
Labor In London"), so that the phe-
nomenon is apparently universal, the
lower the civilization the greater the
percentage Of the poor:
For many reasons the whole matter
Is Of vital interest to the medical pro-
fession. In the first place, such a con-
dition Of affairs Is a serious objection
to the new idea that our national diet
airy Is too big-one-eighth Of us never
get enough. The racial deterioration
and Individual degeneration which
must result In such condition of growth
of children Is matter for serious
thought In the next place, when any
Of the poor people become i'll, the bur
den of work falls on the doctor, who,
more than any other person In the
world, Is expected to give assistance
without money and without price.
Hunter makes a great distinction be-
tween these poor and the paupers, who
expect and depend upon more or less
assistance even when they are well.
He estimates that there are 1000. 900
paupers in the country; 100000 men
are unemployed four to six months ev.
cry year and cannot get work; over
100000 children must work to helm
support the family, and about b,O00.-
600 women must work, Of whom 1000.
900 are employed In factories. Over
one-fourth Of New FORKS people get
some kind Of public or private relief
every year, and yet It is often impos-
sible to get domestics for love or
money.

person: a Lithuanian workman In tht
Chicago stockyards, French dress
maker, a Swedish farmer, an itinerant
preacher, and many others Of wide d.
versity in race as well as In occupa-
ton, but all of them now Americans,
and all of the common people. 1t Is
by no means the first time that the
ordinary man has been allowed to tell
his own story or had 1t truthfully told
for him; but 1t has never before been
done on so generous scale. One gets
many impressions from the book, some
cheering, some depressing. First Of all
comes a new perception Of the bound
less opportunities which America offers
to the whole world. All these persons
have got on" by virtue Of having
chances here which they had not in
other countries; and from this percep-
ton comes to the reader new sense Of
patriotism, a new love for the great
country which has made these lives pos
sible. Another noticeable thing Is the
rapidly with which the dull and the
down trodden Of other lands are i'm
bued with the American spirit and be-
come Americans themselves. On the
other hand, one receives an impression
that the amount Of thought and talk
about money Is excessive. The eager
ness Of the frantic struggle to get 1t
and the exultation of those who have
got 1t are apparent on every page. 1t
makes all the more significant the alb
sence of expressions of gratitude to-
ward the great republic which has CIV
en- them opportunity. All Is taken as a
matter Of course. But these stories are
not complete. Wait till the children
and the grandchildren Of these people
tell their life stories. "Undistinguished
Americans" may be followed by dis
tinguished Americans" and In the third
volume there may be a chapter on
Great Americans" 1t takes time to
earn dividends.
