HAS THE STATE
VIOLATED LAW 2
SOUTH CAROLINA HAS BROKEN
FEDERAL RULES
Immigrants Brought to Charleston
Were Seen by Agent in Europe.
Contract Labor Law May Have
Been Transeressed
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald
WASHINGTON, Dec. elias South
Carolina violated the federal contract
labor law, and If so, how can the gov
ernment punish state? is now the
question that is up to the solicitor of
the department of commerce and labor.
While the question has been submitted
to the proper law officer of the depart
ment, no one here takes any serious
view of the case, and, in fact. but little
interest in 1t is manifested by any one
except few of the leaders of organized
labor. Recently a thousand or more i'm
migrants were landed at Charleston,
South Carolina. 1t is admitted that the
immigrants We're turned toward the
southern part by an agent of the state
of South Carolina, and their arrival was
hailed with delight by the state author
tiles and by the people. BY everyone
it was looked upon as the beginning of
the solution of the labor question in the
south, but sit was more especially re-
garded as marking a new era in the
south, as the immigrants, or at least
very many of them, are expected to be-
come settlers, taking up tracts of land
for cultivation, thus aiding in the agri-
cultural development of the south.
In this correspondence 1t has already
been told with what interest President
Roosevelt watched the matter, he evil
IDENTIFY not looking on the movement as
any violation of the law. 1t is now
claimed by some of the labor leaders
that If any inducements were held out
to the immigrants by the agent of
South Carolina, and that they would be
given employment on their arrival in
| this country, II was a direct violation
of the contract labor law, and they
attach much blame to Commissioner
General Sargent. Just after his return
from Charleston, where he had gone
to inspect the immigrants, your cor
respondent had a conversation with
Mr.. Sargent. The commissioner gem
eral was very pronounced in his state
ment that the immigrants were the
J best, as a whole, that he had seen dur
! ing his term of office. He further stat
ed that i'm consultations with persons
/ from the south who were engaged in
| trying to promote immigration to that
section. he had suggested the present
movement of seeking immigrants direct
! from Europe. In this conversation the
labor law was mentioned, and the com
missioner gave 1t as his opinion that
| the movement was in no way a viola >
| tion OF that law; that actual settlers
more than mechanics or laborers, were
sought foc. The decision of the solicitor
of the department of commerce and

heads OF departments is a highly graf
flying document 1t calls for unity of
effort In building up the city and fos-
terlng It's progress. 1t is wlde-awake in
the water-eXtension scheme. calling for
businesslike methods, demanding that
the city shall receive equivalent value
for every dollar expended, and that
thorough examination be made into
every proposed purchase, In order that
the city may be assured OF the deslra-
bility and of the perfect title of every
intended water supply before 1t buys,
All this Is excellent. and the Mayor
puts himself squarely in favor of the
strong advancement OF the city as well
as standing guard for its interests at
every material point
The Mayor commends the reports to
the early and judicious attention of the
Council, and asks that the recommend
ations in them be accorded such con-
sideratlon as their merits, on investi-
cation, deserve. This, of course, is
proper. the people are entitled to the
benefit of whatever good counsel there
is in these reports and the Council

people the benefit Of whatever there is

administration that new official should

thought of Postmaster Thomas; how
ever 1t may have been esteemed that
he was for Thomas first. last and all
the time and for his friends when there
was nothing left, 1T has always been
supposed that he was too cleVer-it has
even been thought he was of too high
prlnciple-to evade the civil service
law 1t never was believed of him that
he was not cunning enough to know
how to do It, but the majority OF his
fellow-cltiZens thought that he was too
proud and dlgnified and patriotic to do
improper and therefore dangerous
things.
But according to reports he is no
better than the rest of them. He has
placed a relative on the list as a la
borer and has allowed him to do cleri-
cal work-a clear case of impropriety
and illegality; just another instance of
whipping the devil around the stump
and that process Is no more desirable
when adopted by Postmaster Thomas
than when adopted by a Mormon apos-
tie. According to report he installed a
lady as janitor, or janitress. and while
drawing pay for this manual labor the
lady performed clerical service.

ORGAN OF PRINCIPLES.

A gentleman who has but a faint
glmmering OF the meaning of the word
Republican" without having any
sense OF the import of Republican SEN
timent-the Hon. joseph Howell. n
member of Congress from the State OF
Utah, has written n public letter, In
which he speaks of the detection Of the
In this State.
1t would be false modesty for The
Tribune to assume that Mr.. Howell did
not refer TO this paper. This was the
exponent OF the Republican party; and
this paper to It's everlasting glory. has
achieved a detection from the Repub-
lican machine now operated by Joseph
F. Smith. Reed Smoot, Joseph Howell,
ct al. including one George Sutherland.
But II there be any intimatlon in the
Congressman's remarks that The Trib-
une has defaulted upon any principle
which 1t professed. let him be reas-
sured that this paper is thrice as Wig
orous In the cause of political truth as
It could possibly be II II were trailing
as the Congressman seems to think Is
newspapers misslon-at the heels of
some petty victor of a day.
While The Tribune is not the organ
of the little group Of brigands who call
themselves the Republican party; 1t Is
still an organ of Rcpubllcanlsm, While
1t is not the organ of the church Dem
ocratlc robbers roost: 1t is still an or
gan of self-respecting, historic. uplift-
ing Democracy.
That paper first and most signally
falls of Its mission which takes it's pro-
tIcians, defends what they assert. as
sails what they reprehend. and meas
ures the individual duty of the voter
toward the Nation by the selfish desire
of the aspirant In politics who calls
himself the party simply because he
happens to steal the party's livery. The
Tribune viii have none OF this. The
principles OF Republcanism as they
best guard the life OF this Nation, and
such principles of Democracy as con-
stitute helpful truth. to these-beyond
the reach OF any venallty and not mod
fled to suit the whlm Of politician or
ecclesiast-to these, The Tribune VIII
devote itself. And it is a proud assur-
ance which It's friends bestow-that in
ceasing to be the organ OF a mere party
IL has become the organ Of the people.
Some time when Congressman Howell
broadens out enough to understand the
duty Of the press and the duty of the
political leader, nc Will sense that The
Tribune never was so much the advo-
cate of the highest and best RepublI-
canism as when he spoke of it's defec-
tion from the Republican party
