His Labor Measures.

Labor legislation enacted since Mr.
Roosevelt has been in office has in
cluded provisions for safety appliances
and protection to employees, reduced
hours of train workers and telegraphers,
arbitration in a modified degree, COM
pensation for injured government en-
ployees and inquiry into mine catas-
trophies. Some of these measures are
considered incomplete by the presi-
dent, especially that regarding injury
to employees, and more adequate legis-
lation is recommended. His demand
for national child labor law was met
by an adverse report on the constitu-
tionality Of such measure by the
house judiciary committee. Among the
Abor policies of the president that yet
remain to be enacted are the abolition
Of woman and child labor, the estab-
Ishment Of shorter hours and a con-
stitutional employers liability act.
One Of the most praiseworthy activi-
ties Of the present administration has
been in the line of getting rid Of the
Indian agency system and making the
indian a citizen.
Among the policies that Mr.. Roose-
velt bequeaths to his successor, meas
ures that he has advocated, but that
have not vet been crystallized into
law, are enough to keep even as much
Of steam engine worker as Mr.. Taft
busy for years to come. I mention
these not in order Of their importance,
but in the order that they occur to

but over express companies, sleeping
ears, fast freights, refrigerator cars,
terminals and pipe lines. In addi-.
ton, he now advocates that the rail
roads be taken from under the anti
trust law and placed exclusively un-
der the control of the interstate COM
merce commission and that telegraphs
and telephones be included. He also
recommends that combinations be per-
mitted, both with trusts and railroads.
provided they are approved by the
government and are made public.
His Chief Principle.
1t is perfectly easy to see Presi
dent Roosevelt's viewpoint in all this
He holds that these things need to be
done and that they can only be done
with efficiency under the direction
and with the responsible power Of
the national executive. This article
does not attempt in any way to dis
cuss that view. 1t only insists that
the recognition Of it is necessary to
understanding the president and his
policies That explains his army and

y HE most conspicuous accom-
plishnents of the Roosevelt


plishments of the Roosevelt
administration are the rail
road rate law, the pure food
law, the dissolution of the Northern
Securities merger, the prosecution in
the rebate cases, the prosecution of
land fraud cases, the pacifcation of
the Philippine Islands and the begin
ming of work on the Panama canal.
This is exclusive of the settlement of
the anthracite strike, the securing of
peace between Russia and Japan, the
furthering of irrigation in the west
and some similar activities which
have not been, properly speaking, po-
litical or purely administrative
Other important measures adopted
during the Roosevelt regime have
been the meat inspection bill, partial
]y nullifed by Judge Humphreys de-
cision; the employers liability act, al
most wholly nullified by decision of
the United States supreme court; the
measure taking the tax off denatured
alcohol, the placing of the consular
service on the merit basis, thus get
ting rid of political appointments; the
acts mildly reforming the naturaliza-
tion and immigration laws, the estab-
fishing of national quarantine to
prevent the invasions of yellow fever,
the passage Of statehood bill for
Oklahoma, prosecutions for violation
Of the antitrust law, the extension of
the civil service, the army legislation
placing the national guard in the reg
ular establishment and inaugurating
a general staff and the building up of
the navy. Not the least of the work
done on the initiative Of the admins
tration has been embodied in the anti

I'll u titlH. III not an eHcVcIOpeQla,
and this article has space limits.
Wants a Strong Government.
OF course the chief thing that the
president stands for. both as an end
and as a means. is concentration Of
governmental powers. The ostersible
motive for this is efficiency in admin
istration. He would have many things
.oN- left to the states turned over to
the rational government He would
see all Independent or detached bu-
reaus placed under regular depart
ments. He would center all powers, as
far as possible, in a responsible head,
that head being, of course, the presi-
dent. 1t must be frankly stated at the
outset that Roosevelt is Hamilto-
nian. He himself has said this over
and over again, and it is necessary to
understand it before his policies or his
theory of government can be clearly
perceived. He is for strong govern
ment. The ''big stick" is not mere
figure of speech.
That point being settled-and it is
undamental-his other policies fall
into their natural place around it.
Chief among these is trust regulation,
this regulation to be under the ma
tiOnal government and by an execu-
tive department or commission. His
plan includes publicity, supervision Of
the issue Of stocks; abolition Of re-
bates and special privileges and short
franchises. In line with this policy
is that of regulating the railroads, ex-
emplified by the rate law already
passed, which gives to a commission
appointed by the president power to
fix rates, punish rebates and secure
supervision not only over the railroads,

The Cunningham people will begin active development of their coal pro- perties and tine construction of rail- road from hanak island to handle the rrodncts of their mines, just as soon as they can get a positive assurance from the interior department that patents to their coal lands will be issued. This was the substance of a statement made by Clarence Cunning nam to The Herald, during his re- cent visit here
 We are entitled 10 our patents, " Mr. Cunningham said We have complied with the law, not to the best of cur ability. but in every respect. No corporation is either interested in the coal land or has furnished Us money. Each man has put up his 0wn. We have 34 claims and we have already expended $50, 900 in absolute
 good faith and therefore we know that we are entitled to our patents, and believe We will get them, and soon. h that event we shall begin extensive development work and the buiiding of railroad to the mines, the permanent location of which has been recently completed. '-katella Herald.

An authoratiye cable from Seattle states that the White Pass X Yukon railroad and the Home Power company have entered into a ten years agree nent. which stipulates that the Home Power company is to furnish power to the railroad and have monopoly on the electric light and power busi- ness in Skagway.
 Aside from the commercial benefits which will accrue to both the White Pass & Yukon and the Home Power company, the agreement reached is one of the best things that could hap pen. for it should put an end to the pickering and dissention which have made so much trouble in Skagway in
 the past two years. What is done is done. But now both corporation have sInk their past differences and made an amicable arrangement and there is no farther excuse for incessant agita- tion which has been carried on under the guise of civic patriotism. -Skag

Tn spite of the considerable increase in metal stock as reported by the Cop per Producers association, beieTe. says John Stanton in the Marquette Mining News. the copper market is virtually where 1t stood on Jan. l. st least in respect to available supplies. Much of the visible supply has been contracted for. the total sold running from 100, 900, OOO to 120, GOO. 000 pounds, should judge. This, Of course, is talk ing exports into consideration, On the whole. then, the market is TO worse of than 1t was a. the first of the year, through powerful hear element has apparently gained control and 2ut prices lower than is warranted by conditions in general Just how far the downward movement is speculative 1t is impossible to ascer- tain with any e1actness. but that the speculative element is strong contri- outing factor to the copper market at present is a well warranted conclusion. The sudden break in the metal has made it clear that buying movement of any magnitude by domestic consum- CTS would soon take care of the price of tue stocks on hand and advance the price of the metal. .'i
 Not witbstanding the attractive prices Of copper at present, consumers have not entered the maket to any ex- tent. There is probably considerably more of the metal being taken from day to day than month ago. but con- summers adhere 10 the hand -to-mouth policy. The big electric companies re- pUrt that the ratio of their copper con- sumption is considerably lower than the ratio Of their operating capacities. Western Electric, for example, is operating at nearly 70 per cent Of it's maximum capicity. while its consump- tion of the red metal is well below 5O per cent of normal. This is due in this instance to the great falling of in the cable and lIne construction de- partmeDts.

The village of Fillmore, in County Galway, Ireland, has heeu engulfed b the great sliding bog ut Fillmore. most of the cottages having been cov- cred up to the roofs. About cue sev- enth of Ireland is covered with hogs, that of Allen alone comprising BIO square miles. with an average depth of 25 feet. The method by which a bog inyades it's neighborhood is singular. Originally il will have lake, around ,he shores of which vegetation mas grown outward. both at the surface and on the bottom. Eventually the vegetation on the surface forms d strongly matted layer, beneath which lies the muddy waters of the lake. Heavy rains then augment this inter- mediate wstery layer until the center swells up, the skin of vegetation bursts and deluge of black mud pours out into the surrounding country.
