Has Jerome FallenP

A big row is on in New York in
which District Attorney Jerome is a
central figure. Jerome is a man who
has held public attention for some time
as a reformer. He has prosecuted
many of the small fry and thus caught
the public eye. He was reelected last
fall by an overwhelming vote after
having been bounced by the politicians.
Recently he has been criticized for
his position in connection with the big
insurance people, the traction com,
panies and other grafters of the larger
order. He has been placed in the cata

The Tramp Question in ENGLAND.


There is much complaint of lack of
employment in England. The former
prime minister was compelled to- hear
good many appeals and petitions ON the
part of the unemployed for work or
bread. The tramp, question promises to
be a serious one, and it has, been taken
up vigorously by John Burns, who is
known in this country, Jas, we'll ..as in
Europe. as a leader in labor circles.
John Burns is a member of parliament,
a member of the cabinet and president
of the local government board. 1t is
particularly appropriate that he should
tackle this tramp question. He will be
less liable to the charge of lack of sym
pathy with the workingman.
He is not going to- trife with the idle
and the shiftfess, however. Our Lon
don correspond enee today outlines the
plan for curing the tramp evil. 1t, II
brief, is to make the tramp work. The
police will arrest the vagabond and la
Dor colonies will be established where
he may be made to earn what he eats.
The tramp will be divided into three
classes. There will be the wilfully idle
who will be liable to sentence to labo
colony for from six months to thre
years, where they must work for tn

Is It a Surrender

The address of Mr.. Mellen before the
Art club of Boston sounds like the bugle
calling a retreat. Mr.. Mellen practic-
ally says the jig is up, the management
of railroads is to be radically changed
and the railroad managers who have
cannot be denied have been committed,
will be thrown down along with those.
who have 1t is impossible, Mr.. MelIen
says, to alIay the suspicion which hiss
been excited, it is too late for promises.
The public will have regulation.
It looks as though President Mellen
were trying to excite sympathy for some
unknown railroad presidents who have
done only their duty and conducted their
railroads according to the best ideas of
business. But is it necessary? It does
not appear that such an Individual has
anything to fear from government rate
making. In fact, he is one of those who
is going to profit by it. He is no longer
to be overwk elmed by the, stock jobbing
railroad president. He is going to have
the powerful arm of the government to
support him in square. deal. If the
square deal has not prevailediim the rail
road world, the presidents, who yearn
for it should welcome the, assistance of
the government Secretly they prob
ably do, but outwardly they must main
tain semblance of being against ''gov-
eminent interference. and@ private
rights" This is the placate' and keep
off their backs the stock-jobbing pres
idents who would come down on them
like the Assyriamif railroad legislation
should fail in congress. Mr.. Mellen's
speech might eaisly be interpreted as
that of railroad man who hoped con-
gress would pass the rate bill, and be
quick about it.

CORY of pretenders.

CORY OF pretenders.
At this Jerome has become angry
and flares in the teeth of criticism,
denouncing his critics and many lead
ing politicians all of which would in
dictate that there is too much truth in
the assertions made by the critics.
Among those slashed by Mr.. Jerome
in a recent speech were Bird S. Coler,
president of the borough of Brooklyn
and David Graham Phillips, the maya
zine writer. Both of these gentlemen
respond, attributing Jerome's anger
to the excessive use of whiskey and
cigarettes. Apparently Jerome is off
color. Is it bad whiskey and poor to-
bacco? Is he fallen beyond recovery?

Simplifed Spelling.

Tt pleases certain class of literary
dilettafgd5 to profess a feeling of dis
tress at; the introduction of simplified
forms of spelling They affect deep
concern about the purity of the Ian
guage, and the heat Of temper which
they manifest when it is proposed to
eliminate, sUHBe of the unnecessary let
tiers they seem to- think will be accepted
as evidence of their superior scholar
ship. The MOST poignant grief is gen.
orally manifested by those who have
the least OCCASION to- exhibit it. They
profess a high degree of pleasure in
the form of a. wUgd because In that par
ticular form they tilink that it tells it's
history. AS a. matter of fact, there is
little or nothing In this assumption.
Forms of spelling have changed from
one period to- another as q matter of
convenience. and we shall probably con-

present absurd and awkward forms re-

MEASURES THAT ARE STANDARD
Mueh Care Taken to Preserve Them
Correctly.

A gsllon is exactly ten pounds OF
distilled water; so when housewives
say "a pint's pound the world
around" they are mistaken. The inn
perial standard yard, which is the
same as our own, is the distance be-
tween two fine lines on bar OF
bronze, measured at 62 degrees Fan
renheit. The bar is kept mounted on
eight rollers in a special steel safe IN
London. The standard pound is kept
in a silver gilt box contained in a
bronze box, the top of which is secure
ly screwed down and the whole placed
in a special compartment of the same
safe. The German metric system
took the place of more than twenty
local measures. The Hesse~Darmstadt
foot was less than ten inches, the
ScEwarzberg-R udolstadt foot moro
than fifteen.

state. The casual Migrants those win D
have not yet become habitual loafers
will be detained in the same labor col
onies, but will be required to do only
two days work before they may be dis
charged. The genuine worker, who is
tramping in search of employment, will
be furnished lodging and food in return
for labor performed and supplied with a
book giving his description, his destina-
ton and admitting him to the, next place
of detention, where, by working for it,
he may have lodging and food not, to ex-
coed two days each, if he desires to- rest
on his journey.
The plan is substantially that,of Den

tion like that proposed by Mr.. Burns in

Paying a Pension.

What the employees of millionair
employers pay them is pretty pointed
stated in the following:
''Back-skinners $13 week; dry
salters, 81; cattle-stickers, $13; la
borers, 81, and J. Ogden Armour
100000 a week. Now you see
som ething is wrong with the pres
ent system.
Joseph Medill Patterson, the new
convert to socialism, in talking to
400 stockyards workmen at Schu-
macher's hall last night, summed
up the first part of his speech as
quoted. He said he did not want to
appeal to class envy, and then used
the contrast between Mr.. Armour's
aff1uence and his employees de-
pendence for illustration through
out the talk. Toward the end he
said:
Every one who works for Ar
mour helps to contribute to purse
of $4,000, 900 year for him. He
has his $1OO, 900, 900 and you have to
give him a $4,000, 900 purse every
year. On the average every one
of his so, 900 employees gives him
$1OO year. I'm talking calmly to
make you know.
And the question is: What are you
going to do about it? 1t is the gen
eral conception that large institutions
are needed for economic production.
It will be said that it is immaterial
whether the profits go to many in
smaller quantities or to few or to one
in large lots-that the paying, and not
the receiving, is the material issue.
But the less reckless will hardly
agree that it is well to have men re-
ceiving five millions of dollars per
year. They are in position to Cypress
their employees and group of them
are in position to Cypress the public.
What is the remedy? That is ar
other question. It's solution appears tC
be distant. 1t will not be settled while
a large portion of the people are IN
awakened to the situation and a con
siderable element continues to comprise
the coat-tail aristocracy that has pre-
vailed in this country for half cen
fury.
When men like Armour receive five
millions per year it would hardly b.
necessary to have an inquest to deter
mine whether packing house profit
are larger than they ought to be.
