ARMY And NAVY NOTES.
Decision That Post Work By Military
Prisoners Is La1Cful.
jFrom The Tribune Bureau.1

4.
WORK OF MILITARY PRISONERS
question has recently arisen as to whether the
WORK oeng done by the military prisoners at Fort
IesS monroe should not be done by contract The
WORK consists of repairs and improvement of
srouhos' and is necessary TO keep the post and
buildings in repair II this work was not done by
the prisoners it would have to be done by the labor
OF troops The War Department has approved the
opinion Of the Judge advocate general OF the army
VINO holds that the work is necessary 10 the
proper care and preservation of the post grounds
and buildings and that the prisoners engaged upon
II are lawfully employed and that the practice
should not be desisted from In providing for the
retention Of considerable number Of military pris
oners at each large military post, IT was the pur
pose Of the department require that work Of the
kind referred to be done by prison labor and that
the troops should not be required to do 1t, it
seriously interferes with their military training
and instruction. If it were attempted 10 do this
work by contract it would result in very consd-
erable expense to the United States and involve
serious impairment of military discipline.

This is matter of importance. and 1t Is
altogether likely that Gen. Pershing cor.
rectly interprets the spirit Of the repre-

1t is true that when we were the in.

them had long been and then were in re-

throw off a rule Of which they bitterly
complained. We appeared. therefore. a.

They yielded to the hope OF better things.
Then arose a spirit Of distrust famed

The Man on the Job.

| Last Friday night very few people in
| the world knew Jack Binns, who was en-
ployed as wireless operator on the steam
| ship Republic. Some members OF Con-
gress had seen him work the system on
| a Panama boat and perhaps had a recol-
| lection of how Speaker Cannon side
| stepped a vicious spark from the ap-
| paratus while Binns was telling about 1t.
| Binns himself had no idea of becoming
| famous. He did not know his ship was
going TO run into a fog and be rammed
| by another boat. Nor did he give the
matter Of notoriety thought. For Binns
| was just one Of the great army Of men
| who have been called to do their widely
different parts of the worlds work, day
| by day. He was the man on the job
When the Republic entered the fog bank
he was at his key. picking up shore and
ship, testing his apparatus. When the
Florida rammed her bow into the Re-
public's flank and the sea flooded the
engine room Bfnns was there at his key,
ready to do what had to be done. He
was no hero. The ship was full Of men
like him. men who were trained to work
steadily and effectively in the face Of
danger, men who had been for years in
touch with the sea, with all its perils.
They did what they had to do. capably
and without excitement. while Binns sat
by his key and tapped out the &c. @.
D." call that reached Gilman at Sias-
conset and the operators at sea, and then
sent forth the more detailed messages
that gave the location Of the ship and
guided the rescuers. The dispatches tell
how Binns stuck to his post through all
the difficulties about current and power.
how he swan into a submerged cabin to
get some food. They simply tell the story
OF the man who did his appointed task,
| the man on the job.
This accident has been hailed widely as
demonstrating the triumph of the wire
less system Of communication. It IL
more than that. 1t is another proof OF
the efficiency Of organisation. When &c.
@. D." sang out in the air from the Re-
public's antennae. hundreds Of men and
nearly a score Of ships were enlisted in
a rescue work. Without delay other than
that imposed by the fog this work went
forward. until 1t had reached its end and
the lives Of the 1,5O0 men, women and
children on the two disabled boats were
saved. Science and intelligence and cour-
age combined! The man was on the Job.
That is the spirit Of today, the spirit
that moves mountains and conquers the
sea and triumphs over angry nature. For
Jack Bnns Is simply type Of the man
who. unafraid. does we'll whatever is to
be done in the line of human duty.

Wadsworth Versus Hughes.

Speaker Wadsworth takes up the chal-
lenge thrown down by Gov. Hughes on
the subject of nominations by primaries.
This is fortunate. The subject is very
important, and the discussion on both
sides should be led by men of good stand
ing and ability. Young Jim is rather
light and youthful to measure swords
with the governor. but on the score Of
character and sincerity he is all that
could be desired. We may expect a
spirited controversy. Machine politics in
New York is both strongly established
and scientific. and any proposition TO
change the old order for a new is resist
ed with the might and main Of the ma
chimes of both parties. Gov. Hughes has
entered on the fight Of his life.

The Taft Cabinet.

The Taft cabinet complete? So We are
told But the names will not be an.
nounced until March :.

cessity for full decision at this time
No public matter requires 1t, and Judge
Taft's personal comfort has rot been ma.
teriaIly disturbed by pressure for places
No advices have shown that he was los
ing sleep or flesh on any such account
Why then should he not utilize portion
at least Of the time still remaining? Nearly
six weeks must pass before inauguration
day arrives.
In this as in other matters Judge Taft
Garfield was. or, later. as Harrison and
Mckinley were. Gen. Garfield I'm particu'
lar. II we may accept report. had an anx-
ious time filling the chairs around his
table Some Of his embarrassment was
attributed TO Mr.. Blaine. who manifested
no little concern. not to say captiousness,
about his company. He was the first
member chosen. and his influence over his
chief was considerable. This caused
many tentative arrangements. and the
snarlins that goes in politics with the
smashing Of states. a malicious sugges-
ton Of that day was that the construc-
ton of Garfield's cabinet should be put
into the hands of a commission.
Judge Taft has q clearer field Of opera
ton. His premier is not the sort of man
to attempt influence outside Of his own
place. Mr.. Knox doubtless wants good
company but will rely on his chief to
pick It. He has not been in politics as
long as Mr.. Blaine had, and is not EN-
barrassed, as Mr.. Blaine was, by large
following Of importunate friends. and does
not face, as MIR. Blaine did, large num-
Der Of active enemies. He will serve as
a member Of Judge Taft's cabinet. and
does not aspire to serve as member Of a
Knox cabinet seated around Judge Taft
table.
OF good material no republican Presi-
dent since Mr.. Lincoln's day ever had a
more bountiful supply at his command.
Experience now is largely with the re-
publicans. They have been in power 80
long many of them are veterans in Office.
Twelve years running have brought them
numerous opportunities; and all have
been improved. The result is a large
number Of trained men equal to the
highest duties.
And Judge Taft has q large personal
acquaintance in this circle. He has been
IN political ONCE himself for ten years,
more than half OF the time In this town,
and In close relations with the men who
have been doing big things. His knowl-
edge Of them 10 frst-hand. He need take
nobody on trust. Starting with Mr..
Knox, he has shown by that appointment
how much Importance he attaches to the
post Of m adviser to the President. and
We may all expect the full list when We
see It to be equal to the occasion and a
credit to It's author.

in the complete removal OF the snow from
the streets Immediately after q storm.
Senator Smith yesterday declared that he
could in fifteen minutes devise some plan
for cleaning the streets At fair cost that
would be q great improvement over that
which prevails" Inasmuch as Congress
has persistently refused to permit the In.
auguration of any plan whatever. to this
effect almost anything would be great
Improvement" To cart off the snow
would cost annually at least 100000. Any
other method is impracticable. short Of
letting the sun reduce the snow to slush
and then permitting the Commissioners
to employ scrapers and flushing hose to
wash the dirt-laden mass into the sewers.
The District Commissioners are in no
wise to blame for the condition Of the
streets after a snow. Congress will not
appropriate for snow removal save from
cutters and cross walks, and the con-
troller Of the Treasury rules that this spe-
cihc qualification serves as token of i'm
tention to restrict the use OF the regular
street-cleaning fund to the removal of dirt
when there is no snow on the pavements.
So where the streets are in the condition
of late last week. with the snow reduced

they ventured, in the interest OF the public
health. to set a gang of men at work
sluicing and scrapins off the slush and
slime. Yesterday in the Senate they were.
by strong implication. criticised for their
methods. which forsooth have been forced
upon them by Congress itself.
Common fairness to the people Of Wash
ington and their administrators demands
that the appropriation for street cleaning
shall this year he so written that 1t can
be used to keep the streets clean, whether
the dirt is dry or moist; whether pow
lered or held in sickening suspension by
melting snow. If that is done the streets
of Washington will be kept clean in win
ter. save that it will be necessary TO wait
after snowfall until the sun has melted
the snow.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1909-01-26

In the course Of the debate in the Senate
yesterday on the question of snow re-
Inoval, Senator Burkett said:
The committee and Congress stand be-
tween the taxpayers who are complaining
because of their burden and the people
who are complaining because the streets
are not kept more free from snow and
ice. Congress has during all these years
been very careful not to go SO far either
one way or the other as to merit the
disapprcval of careful thinking people,
The taxpayers of Washington are not
complaining because Of their burden. They
are complaining Of the manner in which
the tax money which they contribute to
the support of the District is improperly
because ineauitably appropriated. There
is no disposition here in Washington to
protest against the use of the tax money
for the keeping of the streets in a clean
condition. for building sewers, schools,
station houses. hospitals and providing
the inspectors policemen and firemen nee
essary to make this a clean, healthy,
safe city.
The taxpayers Of whom Mr.. Burkett
speaks as being in need Of protection are
themselves the very ones who are COM
planning of the insufficient methods pro-
vided by Congress for keeping the streets
clean. They are the class who are ask
ing for more schools and more policemen
and more fremen and all the other neces-
sitiee Of we'll managed municipality
The taxpayers are the ones who see the
inequity and the injustice of taking the
Districts money and paying it out in
large sums annually practically on a cash
basis for the large permanent works
necessary for the evolution of the capital
These taxpayers OF whom Mr. Burkett
speaks in protective vein have been
clamo.ing for some years for fairer
method OF disbursing the local revenues
The complaints OF excessive taxation so
often heard in ether cities have never
been heard here. Congress is not war
ranted ct any time in characterizing the
people OF Washington who carry willingly
the burden OF District maintenance as a
body Of querulous. fault-inding citizens
What they are now asking OF Congress
10 entirely reasonable and is in fact what
IL dene In other cities and by all business
corporations. They are merely asking the
rule OF fair play and business-like pro-
vision FOR the future.
