FOR PROTECTION
OF WORKINGMAN
President Roosevelt and Gov.
ernOT Hughes Condemn Care
IesSneSs in Employers

NEW YORK. Jan. 3O-The FIRST in
ternational exposition Of safety devices
and industrial hygiene is now in fun
blast and will continue for two weeks.
The display Of safety devices consists
o fmachines or devices in operation,
safeguarded elevators, windlasses.
cranes and hosting machinery; safety
lamps and explosives and devices TO
procure safety from fire, etc.
The section of industrial hygiene
win include improved dwellings, first
aid to the injured prevention Of tuber-
culosis and devices for securing pure
air.
This letter from President Roosevelt
was read at a banquet which opened
the exposition:
My Dear Mr.. Strong:
1 wish could be present at the open
ing OF thee xposition OF safety devices
and Industrial hygiene to be held under
the auspices Of the American Institute
of Social Service.
AS modern civilization is constantly
creating artificial dangers Of life. limb
and health, It is imperative upon ug
to provide new safeguards against the
new perlls. In legislation and in our
use Of safety devices for the protection
OF workmen we are far behind Euro
pean peoples. and in consequence IN
the United States the casualties at
tendant upon peaceful industries OK
ceed those which would happen unde,
great and perpetual war.
Many. even most Of these casualtie
are DreVentable. and IL is not support -
able that we should continue a policy
under which life and limb are sacrI-
feed, because it is supposed to be
cheaper to maim and kill men than tc
protect them.
wishing you all success in your ef-
forts, believe me,
Sincerely yours,
Theodore Roosevelt.
Governor Hughes championed tn,
safety OF toilers in a speech in which
he hayed employers for many acci
dents He declared 100000 accident
are due every year to carelessness.

TARIFF REVISION PROGRESSING.

70 BOARDING proposed tariff revision the
IN most significant statement which has re-
Gently appeared is that OF Representative Dazell,
Of Pittsburg the special champion of the wealthy
steel manufacturers of that region. Mr.. Dalzell
is in the front rank Of the stand patters." 1t
will be recalled how he defended that position
during his address in this city last autumn, al
though he admitted X difference of opinion in
the party on the question.
Mr. Dalzell now confesses to a strong popu-
lar sentiment for reformation Of the tariff, and
whether in his judgment or not there is warrant
for such belief, the change is sure to come. He
does not believe however, that the tariff will be
revised until after the election next year. Many
will disagree with him. They hold the tariff
Evening journal., 1907-01-30

should be modified as soon as possible and they
will not be dismayed or alarmed by cries OF the
opponents Of revision. They know that owing
10 the complexion OF Congress, the Republicans
having the Senate for almost indefinite period,
that no harm can come TO our industries through
a change in the tariff to meet existing condi-
tions
The statement Of Mr. Dalzell is a recognition
of a widespread sentiment which was voiced
here in Delaware in the resolutions adopted by
the late Republican State Convention.

rapidity. In the Chrlstiana river at

CHARTER SHOULD BE FOR PEOPLE.

TAT ILMINGTON needs new charter 1t
Wv should be one based upon the opinions
OF men most interested in the city's welfare
Whether a charter will be passed by the Legisla-
ture is a question. Certainly machine instru-
ment designed to place control of the city in the
hands Of any ring political or oorporate-should
be resisted The city however is Republican
and charter should be so framed that the voters
would be represented in Council according TO
their political faith But the point to be watchsd
in any proposed new charter is that it shall not
be designed to assist in turning over Wilmington
to a corporate gang whose only consideration is
personal and selfish interests and who care more
for such power than they do for party or the
people We ought not to have great amount
Of authority centered in one man. We should
not have an easily controlled court Of last resort
for the revision of taxes.
What Wilmington wants is equitable tax as
sessment and fair collections. Any concentrated
authority in one or two men would mean that
special interest would seek to control these sew
eral men, The new charter should not provide
a swarm OF jobs at high salaries for place hunt
ers Wilmington should get down to business
basis in conducting its municipal affairs. The
sooner we reach that stage the better.

TRIcKERY THAT HURTS THE FARMERS

K NAVERY in the grain trade threatens the
N fair name of the American farmers whose
wheat goes abroad in immense quantities The
Department of Commerce at Washington has
received disquieting reports from our consuls at
points in France Germany and in the British
Isles. These statements of the consuls tell of
customers dissatisfied by trickery in the grain
trade and of enemies made for the American
product. Our breadstufs, the oonsus say, are
losing favor in the old world and we are being
surpassed in reputation by the exporters OF South
America and Australia American grain and

Upon the American farmer falls the greatest
wrong. They must have these foreign markets

Representative Bennum has given notice of
bill imposing tax upon bachelors of more than
twenty-five years of age. The bill will doubtless
receive much support but it is hardly likely to
become a law. The corporations that seek to
evade taxes might attempt to shift them upon the
bachelors, but we do not suspect these interests
are behind the Bennum bill.

Permit me to call the attention Of
housekeepers to the dangerous nuis-
ance they cowmit when they allow
water to run from the hydrants. down
the side alleys 10 the front pavement
There are hundreds Of houses I'm Will
mlngton which have the side-alley
surface draining, and during freezing
weather the sidewalks I'm front OF these
houses are invariably covered with ice.
Often the housekeepers permit the
water to run to prevent the water
pipes from freezing. There is a city
ordinance which prohibits this prac-
tice, and persons caught violating the
law should be punished. The water
from the running hydrants Is frozen
In the gutter, and when the gutter Is
fun OF ice the water spreads over the
sidewalk. Many accidents have been
reported by the police OF persons slip
ping on the ley pavements and susiain-
ing painful injuries. Furthermore.
the waste OF water runs into the street
and freezes over the cobblestones be-
sides bloclSading the side cutters. The
police should take this matter In hand.
and warning should be given to parties
who have been allowing this nuisance
on their premises. In some sections
OF the city Il is unsafe for pedestrians
to walk along the street at night on
account Of the slippery pavements.

From a paragraph In the Sunday
Star it seems the very good people OF
the Associated Charities deem IL be-
meath their dignity 10 accept the pro-
ceeds from the proposed entertainment
of Professor Hermann, Of this city, in
behalf OF the said institution. There
Is a story told Of a man who was a
Jew. on his travels near Jericho he
'tfell among thieves" who after robbing
and beating him left him TO perish. AZ
ter a while Levite. a high dignitary
OF the Jewish faith, passed that
way. and left his unfortunate brother
10 his fate. Then there was a Pharl-
see passed that way; but he also gave
the helpless man TO his fate. Then
there came Samaritan, despised and
hated by the Jews. This man stopped
and knelt by the bruised, wounded and
suffering Jew. poured oil into his
wounds, gave him wine, put him on
his beast Of burden. and carried him
to an inn, charging the innkeeper to
have him attended to, and charge Il
TO him (the Samaritan). Is Professor
