PROBE WILL GO DEEP.

Commissioner Neill OF the bureau of labor
makes an explanation that reveals clearly how the
SI5oyooo appropriation made by congress for max
ing an investigation into the labor of women and
children is to be expended.
1t is his purpose to send competent men into
the industrial districts of all the states, who will
report not only on the number of women and chill
dren employed and the conditions OF their employ
ment but also upon the effects of such labor the
minds and bodies of the workers.
That is to say, under Commissioner Neilps
system his investigators will not conine themselves
to observations the factories but will go to their
courts, to ascertain how many children appearing
there have been workers and what connection can
reasonably be traced between their work and their
offending.
At first few men will be sent out and their
experience will be used to guide larger force,
which may reach $50, and the labors of all will be
directed toward making the appropriation produce
the best returns possible Later the results will be
tabulated and printed.
OF course, the pregnant question that projects
itself is as to what good this will do' Immediately
none, perhaps ultimately much The information
that will be gathered and made available will be
trustworthy and not mere guessing at the facts.
When the government probes it sends the probe
deep, and when it has completed this inquiry not
individual states, will realize that the evil of woman
and child labor is greater and more menacing than
they had conceived.

AN AUTO FATALITY.

So far there appears to have been objection
to the systematic and vigorous manner in which the
police authorities are enforcing the laws relating to
the operation of automobiles in this city; but if
there any who doubt the expediency or neces-
sity of that course let them consider automobile
tragedy in Dorchester, Mass, Saturday evening.
The driver of the machine after knocking down
young woman put on speed and disappeared.
The young woman died of her injuries while the
man responsible for her death is free, with every
likelihood that he will not be captured soon, if at
ALL
1t is certainly bad enough that the lives of
pedestrians should be impered by reckless care
less chauffeurs, but it is infinitely when the
chauffeur fees. Flight in such Is the act of
coward and the community holds him, not with
out warrant, as most contemplate.
Plain the course being pursued by the Provi-
dence police authorities is designed not only to
avert such fatalities, but to insure the capture OF
the culprit should one No one wishes to see
automobiliss harshly dealt with as class but the
public is entitled to protection against the reckless
and specd-mad among their number.

SENSE AND ENTERPRISE

The announcement is made that the
postal authorities have decided to for
ward all mail TO the east coast of South
America by way OF Europe AS things are
they can do no better; but this Is even
less creditable to our enterprise as a ma
ton than would be the forwarding of
mail to Halifax by way of Montreal, or to
Havana by way Of Mexico. The distances
between New York and Rio Janeiro and
between the English channel and Rio ia
metro being practically the same, this plan
simply means that Europe Is one week
ahead of US In mail communication with
South America. In the matter Of commu-
nication and reply Europe is two weeks
ahead.
Let 1t be assumed that a merchant in
Rio, In Montevideo or in Buenos Ayres
desires to place an order for merchandise.
He writes to this country. to England TO
France and to Germany for quotation of
prices. He could place his order in Europe
before getting his quotations from the
United States unless he resorted to the
cable service.
With one week advantage in commu-
nication and reply. three weeks advan-
tage in communication, reply and the
placing OF an order, and nobody knows
how many weeks advantage In the final
delivery OF the goods, 1t is little wonder
that South American trade goes to Eu-
rope.
Government aid to a first-class steam
ship line to Rio Janeiro and the River
Plate is not gratuity. 1t Is a business
investment for the nation.--New York

PASSING OF
GREAT STRIKES

According to former labor commits
sioner Carroll ID. Wright, the era OF
great strikes is passing. a result he at
tributes to the growth of spirit OF

Certainly there have been no labor
CONFLICTS OF recent years comparable In
violence, in the numbers engaged and
In the magnitude OF property losses
with the railroad strikes OF 1877 or 1894.
or with the Homestead disturbances of
1892, relatively small though the num-
ber was OF those participating in that
bloody quarrel. The sight has not been
seen In long time. as in 1885, OF an
entire labor organization ceasng work
because OF the discharge OF a single
employe. nor has Debs called out
great army OF workmen In sympa-

MAKING A MISTAKE

The opponents of municipal ownership
are making mistake In establishing a
bureau and sending out for insertion In
public prints proofsheets of magazine and
other articles prepared by mercenaries.
The cause is one that can well take care
of itself. In most American cities mu-
nicipal ownership il not desirable simply
because the average municipal govern
ment is not competent to take charge Of
further utilities than those already in
trusted TO ITS hands. That IL a matter
for the people Of Chicago to take care of,
as far as this city is concerned.
AS soon as 1t becomes known that the
public utilities corporations have organ
lied press bureau, and are sending out
so-called ammunition" 10 the news
papers, and are perhaps, subsidizing
some OF the smaller sheets to oppose the
ownership of public utilities by municipal
tiles, they Will excite grave suspicion.
The popular impression will be that III
they have money to spend for that pur-
pose, manifestly they are making too
much money, and that the excess ought
