BY the votes Of her fellow citizens
Mrs. Catherine Waugh Mccullough
has been elected justice OF the peace
at Evanston, H.. one of the delightful
suburbs Of undelightful Chicago, and
viii enter upon her duties In a few
days. The election of female justice
followed a campaign that caused more
excitement than the peaceful little city
has experienced and enjoyed since the
last church choir fight The politi-
clans had pooled issues in the cam
paign and agreed. in the division Of
the spoils once. to give this judicial
toga to a plumber who had some po-
litical--and possibly trade-elaims on
the men who make and unmake Office
holders. For reasons not explained,
the women OF the city were displeased
with the plumber and started move
nient which resulted in the nomina-
ton OF Mrs. Mccullough, a leader in
club circles, to the exalted ONCE OF
justice OF the peace.
The experiment of a woman admins
tering justice will be worth watching.
Mrs. Mccullough has, beyond question,
more ability than is possessed by the
average justice of the peace. but It will
be interesting to see how the public
and the litigants will take TO the limo
walton. The removal Of the loafers'
room with its collection Of cob pipes
and other accommodations for the pro-
fessional Jurors and hangers-on Is as
sured, and the next step viii be the

man than to politics. The windows will

RAILWlY sTRIKr AvERrED


The adjustment Of the differences
between the trainmen and the rail
roads west Of Chicago, by which a
strike that would have been little
short Of national calamity, has been
averted, is a triumph OF the spirit of
Cancellation and concession and a
tribute to the good judgment Of both
parties to the controversy. As is us
ually the case where differences are
adjusted in this manner, neither side
secures the full measure OF it's de-
mands and possible rights, but both
will be gamers in the end by the COM
promise.
BY the terms of the agreement the
railway employees secure a substantial
increase in compensation which, while
it is not large as 1t relates to the indi-
vidual workman. will add a large
amount to the operating expenses Of
the railroads involved. This conces-
sion is apparently just, as the en-
ployes have long felt that they have
not been getting their proper share
for handling the enormous traffic busi-
ness which has taxed the railroads be-
yond their capacity. In turn the en-
ployes abandon their claim for a nine
hour day and accept ten-hour day,
with allowance for overtime and an
agreement by the railroads that no
change OF schedules shall be made
which will affect the earning ability
of the employees.
The settlement is practically the re-
suit OF arbitration, although formal
directions to that end we're not en-
ployed Chairman Knapp of the In
terstate Commerce commission and
United States Commissioner of Labor
Charles p. Neill. acting under author
ity OF a federal law, rendered their
good offices in the adjustment of the
differences and are given the credit
for proposing the compromise which
employers and employees have accepted.
Their part in the affair is significant
as a precedent for similar action in
case OF future disputes between capt.
tai and labor employed in interstate
commerce and as strength to the hands
of the men who. under the direction
of President Roosevelt, are planning
methods for securing universal indus
trial peace and making wage-destroy-
ing and capital-losing strikes impossi-

Trouble is in sight for the delegates
to the coming peace parliment at
The Hague. Russia has sent a circu-
lar note to the other powers to be
represented at the conference that
Russia. Germany and Austria will OBJ
serve the right to abstain from the
discussion of questions which in their
opinion can not lead to practical re-
suits" The only construction to be
placed on this note is that these three
powers will refuse to take any action
on the proposition, favored by Great
Britain, France and the United States,
looking to a program for checking
naval expansion. with a view to final
universal disarmament. Great Britain
has gone so far in this direction as to
withhold work of construction upon
one of her Dreadnaughts, pending the
action of The Hague conference. Her
delegates have been authorized. IL the
disarmament proposition is to be dis
cussed, to submit definite and feast
BILE proposition looking to immediate
action in the limitation of navy expan-
sion. Russia's circular note dispels any
hope that the conference will be al
lowed to discuss the question.
The attitude assumed by Russia, Ger
many and Austria makes 1t plain that
the coming peace conference can not
be productive of results other than of
an educational character. The pro-
gram will be limited to academic dis
cussions of international law, the
rights OF neutrals, better definitions of
contraband of war and like topics. The
failure to include disarmament or
limitation Of navy expansion In the
program will not prevent the delegates
from discussing the question inform
ally, and this probably will be done,
although no action can be taken on
the subject as long as two powers dis
sent. The discussion, therefore, will
be as theoretical as 1t was at the
former conference and parties to 1t will
make pious professions of faith In the
universal disarmament plan, while the
authorities at home will proceed with
estimates for the next navy budget.
The international peace conference will
have no terrors for the armor plate
manufacturers.

THE NEW RAILWAY COMMISSIONER.
BY the appointment of Henry T..
Clarke, ir., to be member Of the State
Railway commission Governor sheldon
has properly recognized the claim Of
Omaha as the largest commercial CEN
ter in Nebraska to representation. The
State Railway commission will have
to decide questions of vital moment to
every business interest and 1t is only
reasonable that one member should be
thoroughly familiar with the indus
trial conditions existing in this metrop-
oils. The vacated membership had
been accorded to Omaha by the state
convention for these very reasons. Re
alizing the pressure brought upon Gov
ernor Sheldon to place the appointment
elsewhere, his action must be regarded
as sign of friendly interest to the fu-
ture of our city as one of the con-
trolling factors in the prosperity Of
Nebraska.
The selection of Mr.. Clarke for this
honor is in reward for services per-
formed in the legislature in helping to
bring about the redemption Of the plat
form pledges, in consideration Of which
the people at the last election en-
trusted the state government TO the re-
publicans. Mr.. Clarke is young
man educationally equipped for the
work and has demonstrated a measure
Of ability which should be developed
by this opportunity. 1t will rest upon
him in conjunction with his associates
TO make the board a really useful
agency for the regulation OF common
carriers and redress of grievances
against them. The fact that his re-
tention OF the place will require q pop
ular endorsement at the election next
fall should, and doubtless will, stimu-
late him to conscientious EFFORT as a
public oficer. To insure reelection
he will have to make the railway COM
mission meet popular expectation.

work AND WAGES.
Present Conditions as They Exist In
San Francisco.
San Francisco Chronicle.

san Francisco.
San Francisco Chronicle.
The California labor commissioner has
gathered. largely from the records of the
labor unions, some interesting facts as to
labor and wages in San Francisco, which
go far to account for the prevailing pros
perity in the retail trades. In the forty
four building trades there were employed
last January e. 459 mechanics, as against
IA, 400 In January, 1906. These numbers pre-
sumably represent the full rosters Of the
unions, whose members are assumed to be
all employees very safe assumption, as
the number OF unemployed Is negligible
when the weather will permit work to so
on. The aggregate daily wages earned. at
current rates, were, in January, 1906, $751;
TOl. and in January. 1907, sl4s,S28 Approx
mately double the number OF workmen
earned two and one-half times the wages.
The bricklayers have made the greatest
relative gain, jumping from 40z in 1906 at
$3.50 per day 10 1.s05 in 1907 at s. day, the
last seeming TO be the union scale; but as
all know. many get much more. In fact,
all through the list which seems to be
calculated at the union wage scale, the
excuses actually paid will more than OFFSET
the small amount Of idleness. The small
est increase is in the trades employed en-
tirely on the better class OF residence work.
The greatest absolute gain has been In the
carpenters, who jumped from 2087 at 81 a
day in 1906 10 $500 In 1907 at $ a day.
Outside the building trades there are. In
this city eighty-three unions. In these
unions there has been a slight decrease in
members. but some increase Of aggregate
wages The figures are: January, 1905,
Ss6ls members. with aggregate wages,
when all are employed at union rates. OF
sos $50. and January, 1907. Ss,O5s members.
with aggregate wages OF Sll0,752. In this
case SEQ less members earn, daily, 81, SOC
more money. Probably the figures in the
case OF those unions afe not so reliable as
those OF the building trades. There are
more nonuniop men In the outside trades.
In some Of them the competition Of other
cities prevents any important raise OF
wages and in other trades the industry is
not 50 fully re-established as TO furnish
employment for all The fact. however re-
mains that according to the best informa-
ton OF the labor bureau, assisted by the
officers OF the labor unions. there is now
being paid out In wages IN this city, 10
union men only, an aggregate OF S254O0O
per day, as against $4,000 year ago.
While these totals may be subject 70 criu-
cism, there Is no reason 20 doubt that
they are relatively correct and that the
present daily wage payments in this city
are substantially. 50 per cent greater than
a year ago and that this ratio is mOrs
likely to Increase than 10 diminish for a
long time 10 come. And that accounts for

STANDING BY HIS GUNS.
Presidents Letter on ship subsidy
and Western Sentiment.
Boston Transcrint

and Western Sentiment.
Boston Transcript.
The president stands manfully to his
guns on the ship subsidy question. In a
letter to Congressman Pollard of Nebraska
he expresses the opinion that the difference
in standards OF living and wages between
foreign and American vessels, together
with "subsidization," gives the former an
advantage that is an obstacle unsurmount-
able except by a subsidy. This obstacle the
president would clear away "as we would
clear away a bar from the mouth of a
river" Congressman Pollard voted for
subsidy, but most of his colleagues from
the west were either unfiinching in their
opposition or perfunctofy In its support.
The president certainly has chosen the
region most In need OF missionary effort
in addressing the republicans Of the west
Whether success will attend his labors is
open to doubt The west hates the word

ally Indifferent to what flag covers It's
