FALL RIVERS PROBLEM.

There will be sincere rejoicing the part
of every one who gives the matter any attention
at all that the differences between the mill agents
and the operatives in Fall River may be ad Justed
without a strike.
In the present condition of things there can
be no reasonable fault found with men who en-
deavor to increase their cash income at almost any
cost. The seller, through force OF circumstances,
is bound TO command the highest prices for his
wares and while the purchaser at the start of his
journey may have more money than he once had
when the Journey is ended there is but little no.
ticeable difference between this and other years.
A strike in Fall River at the opening of winter
would mean great suffering for thousands and yet
somehow the trusts have created the impression
that, as they after every cent it is possible to
secure all burdens must be shifted TO other should
ers, and the latest type of highway robbery is
looked upon as a fair substitute for decency and
better business methods.
The operative seems to have reached the con-
cusion that he should have a larger share of the
plunder; and the mill agents assert that the con-
ditions OF the market will not Justify greater in
crease than five per cent iii wages.
Thus situation is presented that is hard to
regulate All idea Of honest business principles
seem TO be reegated to the and the only guild
ing rule seems 10 be that of demand and take
The operative finds himself when he uses the
pocketbook test no better off than he a few
years ago. when wages were not as high as at
present He also believes that the trend OF prices
OF necessaries is higher; and as men in other lines
have received increased wages the cotton operative
believes he can force more money from his en-
ployer
This class OF operatives always feels very
early in poor times the effect of changed conditions
in the lowering of wages and it is not strange that
when things are run at the highest pressure, it
should demand what it believes to be its share

DEMocRAcY's DIFFICULT TASK.

The majority of 5S that the Republicans wilI
have in the next house of representatives Will con-
tinue all the responsibility for the government OF
the country in the hands of that party for the next
two years.
OF course, between now and the autumn OF
1908 many important events may take place ana
the political outlook be greatly changed but can
dor conpels the admission that the Democratic
leaders have very difficult task ahead of them to
turn the drift of public sentiment sufficiently
toward their party to insure victory.
At the same time, the Republican leaders may
suffer from over-conhdence and, confident that
any nominee can win, turn very satisfactory out
look into disaster.
The Democratic leaders have considerable
and difficult task to adjust their policies as to
secure popular support. There are notwithstand-
ING the evidences of the strength OF the Republican
party at the polls indications that the people are
not wholly satisfied and that if the Democracy can
only give the needed evidences of its union upon
genuine reform measures, there may be complete
change in the administration of affairs two years

Things Seen Through
The Eyes of Others
LOOKING INTO
MUNICIPAL BOOKS.

In Lynn the books OF the water board
are being examined by an expert ac-
countant from a we'll known New York
firm, not for the purpose OF discovering
any criminal act or shortage In the IL
nances, but for the purpose OF determin-
ing the actual expense of the department
and for establishing basis upon which
reforms can be made II possible. Just
that sort OF thing ought to Oe done In
every city with all of its accounts and
department operations in order that there
may be accurate knowledge OF municipal
business. IL Is n matter OF common
knowledge that municipal business meth
ods are extravagant, that there are Leak
ages i'm practically every department, that
income Is not meeting outgo and that
course Is being pursued which In any pri-
vate enterprise would be a sure road to
bankruptcy But the average citizen
gains nothing from perusal of official
hgures Figures are iuggled. items Of ex-
penSes are covered up In general sum-
maries and II is practically Impossible
for any man, save an expert,who can give
his complete attention to the task,to figure
out the exact financial standing OF a city.
II is a matter Of vital Importance and the
results from such an investigation and
accounting would be worth many times
the cost in the demonstration OF the leaks
and the possibility OF stopping them

TIME FOR A PUBLIC CENSOR.

Harmless, entertaining diversion should be
one of the objects Of penny vaudeville propretors
Pictures rejecting upon race or creed have no
place there nor elsewhere.
The desire TO cater to abnormal tastes should
have no encouragement from the forces OF law and
order and has always been summarily dealt with
by the police commissioners when manifested IN
public exhibitions in this city.
Chairman William H. Luther acted promptly
and energetcslly when his attention was called 10
the highly improper pictures shown yesterday, and
the end is not yet.
But would it not be better, rather than RISK
giving offense to any considerable element in our
cosmopolitan population. TO have an ofhcial
censor in this city. to whom all pictures, or exhibi-
tions of like character shall be. shown before the
public has opportunity to see them:
The taste OF a caterer to the general public is
generally but little in advance of the public ex-
pcctation and hardly ever below the standard the
public approves. Something must be left to the
common sense Of the amusement proprietor also
10 sense Of decency; but after all, the burden OF
prohibition rests upon the authorities and preven-
tion is better than remedial action. which by pun
ishing man for mistake made innocently, per-
haps, might do injustice in given case without
preventing the evil.

SPEED THE DAY.

The city OF Rochester is to be advanced to the
second class OF cities under the statutes and the
constitution of New York state; and this will call
for important changes.
Under the constitution some years ago law
was passed known as the White Charter, which
sought in very clear way to separate the execu-
tive and legislative functions in municipal gov
ernment.
II the citizens OF Rochester do not put any
obstacles in the way OF the change, and there is
now said TO be no prospect that they will do SO,
the mayor, under the new order of things will
have the authority TO appoint corporation coun-
sci, city engineer, commissioner OF public works,
a commissioner OF public safety and commits
soner of charities and corrections without ratihca-
ton or confirmation by the legislative department
Of the city.
This would mean here that the mayor would
have absolute power to appoint such persons as he
might deem best for the office OF police commits
sioner and also to appoint the board of can
vassers and registration who would honestly
represent those citizens who gave the Democratic
candidate for state senator from Providence about
$500 plurality and the Democratic mayoralty candi
date nearly 1000 plurality.
