j. S. SURPLUS

Boston, Oct. 12.-Former United States
Treasurer Ellis H. Roberts predicts that
the surplus in the national treasury for
the fiscal year to end with next June will
be AT least S100,0ooOO0.
This excess brings nothing to the gov
ernment," he declares. 'It pays no In
terest and is as arid and idle as the
sand OF the Sahara"
Mr. Roberts and Henry NJ Whitney
were guests OF the Massachusetts Re-
form club at dinner and the subject OF the
evening was "A Prompt Remedy for a
Wrongful Surplus"
The former treasurer was received cor
daily and said:
surely n surplus Is better than a de-

is a modest credit balance. In the hands

| An exhaustive opinion as to the eligi-
bilty of persons to be candidates in DEM
ocratic caucuses has been given the
mayor by City Solicitor Albert A. Baker.
as Indicated In The News-Democrat two
weeks ago.
The main points of the opinion follow:
Office OF the City Solicitor.
Providence, r. l.. oct 3. 1907.
Hon. Patrick j. Mccarthy, Mayor:
Dear Sir-I received last night your lei
ter requesting my opinion upon the fol-
lowing question:
"Is any person who is not entitled 20
take part i'm or vote in any Democratic
caucus under the caucus law and the
rules and regulations of the Democratic
party pursuant thereto, and who is not
under said caucus law and said rules and
regulations, member OF the Democratic
party. eligible as a candidate to be voted
for by the electors assembled in any DEM
ocratlc caucus held subject to such rules
and regulations, for any office, or as "a
candidate for any office. or as dele
gate to any convention, TO be chosen In
and by any Democratic caucus?'
My opinion given the boar dof canvas
sers and registration on oct. l, 1901. was
not intended TO cover, and did not cover
the question now raised by you.
IL is a well known fact that for many
years a "mixed ticket" especially a city
council ticket, composed OF both Demo-
Gratis and Republicans, has been OCCASION
ally nominated for office by a Democratic
caucus, and sometimes the same 'mixed
ticket" by the caucuses of both said
parties. / know OF no provision OF law
preventing the same
Further, l know OF no provision of law
prescribing any qualifications as neces-
sary for delegates to party convention.
The Democratic caucus electors naturally
would fhnaa tbay cnnefHNraI
Gratis to represent them at n party con-
vention.
The party organization under the eau
Gus law, may make regulations to deter
mine membership In the party, and to re-
strain those not entitled TO vote at eau
cuses called by them from taking part
therein. but the object OF the same APP
parently is TO determine who shall have
the right TO vote and take part in the
party caucus. and the law apparently does
not contemplate that the will OF the regu-
lar and duly recognized Democratic elect
ors themselves should be exercised subor-
dlnate to tho will OF the Democratic or
ganization.
There appears TO be no reason I'm sense
of law why those qualified TO take part
In n caucus should not have the right TO
nominate for office, or as their delegates

still the Democratic electors themselves.
II they see it, can I'm my opinion nominate
them for office or elect them as their dci-
egates to conventions. thereby rccogniz-
ing them as Democrats, as II would be
going too far 20 extend the restraints as

bishops o .he general Episcopal leeHpep-
tion in private session yesterday adopted
resolution prese nted by Bishop Greer
OF New York, which is the first move I'm
proposed fght against child labor In the
United St1fes. The resolution as adopted
is as follows:
Whereas. The evils OF child labor is
apparently on the increase in the United
States, and II Is known that the employ
ment OF children IN factories, mines and
shops reduce wages TO the standard of
children, t'sintegrates the family, de-
prives the child CT natural rights to a
period OF training and depreciates the hu-
man stock. and
Whereas. We recognize the profound
responsibility of the church for our ethi-
cal as well as our spiritual standards,
| therefore we call upon employers and
parents to use their influence to better
legisl9 tion and better enforcement OF the
| laws. to the end that the exploitation OF
the labor of childI Ell shall become impos-
sible in this Christian country"
The resolution will be presented to the
house OF deputies this evening, II is pre-
dicted that 1t will be indorsed without any
great amount of discussion.

'The officers elected by a caucus are a
ward committee, and under certain condi-
tions caucus warden. These officers
have important luties pertaining to the
caucus, and under the provisions of the
caucus law, your question raises further
considerations as TO them than as to- the
aforegoing. If IL be conceded that the
Democratic caucus electors have the
right TO elect whom they please as such
officers yet the provisions of the caucus
law are such that, unless enrolled and
therefore entitled to take part in the
caucus. they could not perform their du-
ties pertaining To caucuses, and vacancies
would occur by the operation of the eau
Gus law, so that such elections would be
nugatory. and therefore unenrolled per-
sons practically are Ineligible"
