PEONAGE.

John y. Bogart, Commissioner Of Licenses,
In his recent annual report submitted some In
terestlng statements about the supposed peon-
age system in the turpentine camps and rail
road construction gangs down South. Comms-
sioner Bogart touched upon this topic because
many of those who cOmplnin Of having suffered
under the system are described as New York
ers secured for Southern emloyers through un-
scrupuous intelligence offices. In the course of
his correspondence with Governor Broward Of
Florida concerning the hardships OF the alleged
peons the Commissioner has found that the
latter are imposed upon By individuals who take
advantage Of the laws In force in various
Southern States. where Imprisonment for debt
is still allowed by antiquated statutes.
Railroad contractors, IL is alleged, make the
laborers their debtors by preparing Transports
ton expenses from New York TO the South.
Those who through Ill health, accidental injury
or lack OF the necessary physical strength are
unable to do the work assigned to them con
fronted with the hard choice between rcpaylng
TO the contractors their travelling expenses and
serving time in chain gangs. According to Mr..
BOgart many Northern labOTers Of low vitality
or immature. have been tempted to Florida and
other states by the fragrant misrepresentation
Of New York employment agencies, and have
been forced to become members OF the criminal
class simply through cruel combination of pri-
vate greed and unjust laws
There will always be a surfeit OF men con
scienceless enough to do absolutely anything
technically permitted by the laws. and society
can protect itself against them only by estab-
fishing and enforcing equitable laws. The
shrieking INDUCED in by some sensation mongers
who have dllated upon the horrors Of Florida
peOnage in order 10 arouse class hatred should
he supplanted by legislative enactmentS abolish
ing the medieval debt laws of the Southern
States and devising police remedies for abuses Of
the contract labor system. II Is so easy to cor
rect the worst evils of peOnage. if Mr. Bogart's
and Governor BrOward's explanation of their
cause Is correct. that neglect TO do so can mean
only objectionable sothfulness or downright dis
honesty. 1t is a reproach to the South that blue
laws abolished generations ago in most civilized
countries still Oppress the poor'fhere. Imprison-
ment for debt in the South appears to be not
merely coercive but punitive measure for the
complainants testify that the prison authorities
put them at hard labor, building roads, quarry
ing and working for private persons, to whom
the unfortunate debtors are "farmed out" The
good citizen" who passively endures inequitable
laws is the father Of half the rogues who profit
by them

THE ACQUIESCEy~ SOUTH,

Some remarks which made recently on
the negative role played by the South in Demo
cratic politics have been misinterpreced by
Southern newspapers. The Richmond Leader,
for instance attributes to us the hostility of
captiOus and sneering critic This is an un-
fortunate misconceptions; for we had no idea
Of lampooning the South depreciating the
ability of its leaders in politics. We gladly
conceded that there were many Southern men i'll
public life of more than average attainments
John W. Daniel Is a Senator who would have
reached distinction in the Senate at any period
in that body's history Mr.. CulbersOn. as we
have said more than once, is man Of excellent
judgment and ripened understanding. Mr. Ray
ner is a brilliant and cultivated lawyer and
orator. John Sharp Williams is a leader of
force. wit and intellectual ingenuity. There are
other SoutheTners we might name who measure
up to the highest personal standards in public
life and who easily bear comparison with the
ablest representatives of other sections
Our point that, in spite of their conceded
ability and their freedom from local pressure
and the fear of local disaster, the SOuth's pub
lie men do not exert that influence in shaping
and controlling the policy of the Democntic
party TO which their talents and their command
ing position in that party entitle them. Senator
Tillman said the other day. with Il sting Of
earnestness beneath his customary suggestion
Of grotesque eXaggeratiOn, that the trouble
with most Northern Democrats was that they
were essentially ward heelers." But the South
is content TO follow the leadership OF Northern
politicians. even when at heart Ii neither re-
spects them nor believes in their policies. This
a misfortune from which the whole nation
suffers. We do not underrate the capacity Of
the South 10 act and to lead. We simply de
plOre the fact that ii does not realize its power
and its duty more keenly and does not make
itself a positive, even dominant. factor in
Democratic councils. 1t Is an unwarranted alb
negatior of will and judgment which impels
leaders like Mr. Rayner To say that they favor
Internationally the nomination OF n Presidential
candidate whose platform, they confess makes
a mockery OF Historic Democracy" We CON
slider such spirit in politics unwholesome and
irrational. We should be glad to see the South
formulate opinions on national questions ana
then try TO enforce them, instead of weakly
accepting any programme, radical cOnScrYa-
tive radical-cOnservatlve, dictated by the
Northern Democratic faction which happens TO
be top 1t would be better for all parts
of the country if the South should acquire the
habit Of thinking and acting in its own right.

A HINT TO THE STEEL MAKERs

One of the most notable industrial economies
which have been initiated in the last few years
results from the use of waste gases from the
stacks of blast furnaces for the development of
power. In this manner any expenditure for fuel
for driving machinery In the steel mills which
are now so frequently associated with the fur
naces engaged in producing pig iron is rendered
unnecessary. AS yet only the more progressive
manufacturers In this country have followed
the example set in Belgium by John Cockerill
& Sons, but the advantages OF the system are
being rapidly recognized both In America and
Europe. Moreover, since there Is apparently not
work enough in the best managed plants to utI-
ze more than about half of the power which
could be generated without the payment of Il
dollar for coal. writer's for technical periodicals
have of late been considering what might be
done with the rest of 1t. More than once 1t has
been proposed that the ironmasters go into the
business Of supplying power 10 outsiders In
their neighborhood Ia "Casser's Magazine"
Mr.. +. +. Junge suggests that they use II them
selves to operate electric railways, either to
haul raw materials to their furnaces and mills
or to carry their products TO market.
The proposition is certainly fascinating
enough to arrest attention. According to Mr.
Junge where one-half OF the waste gas
from blast furnace is turned TO account by It's
manager. the residue Is big enough to produce
twenty-five horsepower daily for every ton OF
pig iron made there The output OF the fur
naces In this country last year was 25000O0O
tons of iron. This amount represents waste
of at least G25.000,000 horsepower in the course
or twelve months. or from and two-thrtls
to TWO million horsepower daily Counting in
losses from the production of coke and from
other sources Mr. Junge estimates the daily
waste at four or five million horsepower but If
that from the iron furnaces alone be considered
the showing is certainly remarkable 1t is large
enough TO run from fifteen hundred to two thou-
sand electric locomotives each having n ca
QacitY OF 1000 horsepower. In fact, since tha
