REFORM IN MILWAUKEE.

TIE Socialists who secured control Of the
4 city of Milwaukee at the recent election
arc proceeding rapidly but cautiously in attempt
ing to carry out their municipal program. One
of the first things done by the new Mayor was
TO increase the hours of labor of city officials
The city officials were accustomed to work SIX
hours day and now they must be ION the job
eight hours a day Perhaps a sentimental reason
had something TO do with the change made by
the Mayor for the eight hour day is considered
The standard working day OF labor unions, al
though some of them hint that the agitation for
a work day of seven hours is not far in the
future.
The new Mayor is also determined that the
city shall have better street railway facilities,
and ordinances will be passed to bring about
that reform
Another reform already made is one by which
plumbers work will be done by city plumbers at
cost for the consumers of city water. No tax
PAYERS in Milwaukee, we imagine, will object to
that Some of the city departments are to be
put under one head, to be managed by expert
engineers secured from outside Milwaukee
The Socialist Mayor wants TO make IT clear that
his party is not providing Offices for Socialists
but is endeavoring to give the best obtainable
municipal service for the people
The new Mayor has taken up the question OF
dance halls. Many of the young people of the
working classes have been in the habit of attend
ing Saturday night dances. held in rooms near
saloons and sometimes in the same building
with saloons The new Mayor proposes to open
the public school buildings for these dances
under the direction of chaperones, and every
effort will be made TO remove the young folk
from the influence OF saloons
This plan will strike the casual observer who
has been accustomed TO associate Socialism with
beer drinking. as rather odd. And the oddness
will seem all the greater when it is considered
that most OF the brewery workers of Milwaukee
are Socialists and IL is these men that have given
the Socialists the powerful support that enabled
them to win the election.
So far the Socialists are merely trying to put
into operation reforms that have long been
advocated by persons who are not Socialists.
The Socialist administration will simply be that
Of a reform administration with practically no
attempt to impair property rights. As reform
party it may be successful

HUGHES FOR THE SUPREME COURT.

t1OGtAbo TUX L Tie oOFKEME (OOKl.
IT HE appointment of Governor Charles Z.
l. Hughes TO the Supreme Court behch IS
generally received with much satisfaction al
though on the part of his friends, those who
have so staunchly supported him in his strug-
giles as Governor, there is a tone of deep regret
that he should withdraw from active political
life. Mr.. Hughes in the Supreme. Court will be
buried at a time when men of his stamp are
needed in stirring politics.
Mr.. Hughes is well known throughout the
country, and his appointment may be regarded
as popular. but this by no means indicates that
his appointment to the Supreme Court is highly
desirable. There arc many judges and many
lawyers in this country who are we'll qualified
for the honor. Judge Bradford of our own city
is one of them.
Mr. Taft, however, doubtless wished to do
something popular, and this desire may have
had not little to do with his elevation of Mr..
Hughes
The appointment OF the Governor among
other things, removes man who would have
probably loomed up as a formidable candidate
for the Presidential nomination.
The selection of Mr.. Hughes will also carry
delight to the machine leaders in New York,
who are very glad that the aggressive Governor
is to be removed from New York state. True,
the friends of Mr.. Hughes declare that under no
circumstances would he have been a candidate
for denomination for Governor, but so active
man as Hughes would not have been kept in
QdrkncSS even ndd ne deCllned a 1cnOmlnduOn
There is some consolation to his friends in the
fact that Mr. Hughes will not leave the execu-
tive chair in New York until his term has been
almost completed, and there is nothing to pre-
vent him from continuing for awhile the aggres-
sive fight for his policies With Mr.. Hughes
out of it the way will be open for Roosevelt as
a citizen of New York to take up the work for
progressive legislation that Hughes abandons.
What the attitude of the Governor as a SUI
preme Court Judge will be is already the cause
of much speculation. His opponents declare
that when his record as Governor is analyzed
there is nothing to show that on the bench he
will incline to what is called the peoples side Of
such cases as those concerning the interpreta-
ton of the Sherman law. Certainly it does not
seem that Hughes as justice will favor the in
come tax should any question involving it be
brought before the Supreme Court
We incline to the opinion that he will be in the
conservative class as justice in the consideration
OF these vital questions that involve the relations
between the people and the big corporations or
trusts.

Editorial
Opinion
An AdmIrahIe Appointment.

An Admirable Appointment.
New York World.
What New York loses the Nation
gains many times over by the appoint
ment Of Governor Hughes TO be AS
sociate Justice of the United states
Supreme Court.
Mr.. Taft could not have made u bet
ter or more popular selection. He
could have found nobody capable Of
commanding a larger measure of pro-
fessional and popular confidence. II
Is not merely that lawyers regard Mr..
Hughes as a lawyer Of the first rank,
or that as Governor Of New York he
has shown in n very high degree the
temperament of a great judge, but in
every part of the country Mr.. Hughes
is looked upon by Republicans and
Democrats alike as a progressive
statesman and a fearless champion Of
public rights against special privilege.
The choice of Mr.. Hughes as the sue
cessor to Justice Brewer will go far
toward restoring popular confidence in
the Taft Administration.
While The World regrets the Gov
ornor's retirement from active politics,
he will enter upon an even larger field
Of usefulness than any he has yet >oc-
cupied. The power and influence Of
the United States Supreme Court have
increased steadily for more than a
century, and must continue to increase
as the business of government be-
comes more complicated and the great
constitutional questions presented for
adjudication touch more intimately the
daily lives of the American people.
There is no other branch of the Gov
ernment in which a man Of exceptional
force and character and idealism can
exert a more permanent influence upon
republican institutions. Mr.. Taft is
looking forward to "twenty-two years
Of solid usefulneee" on the part of Mr..
Hughes as a Justice of the Supreme
Court, and this ''solid usefulness" may
be quite as enduring as the the work
Of a Marshall or a Story.
In these circumstances New York's
loss becomes incidental and trivial
Governor Hughes will not retire from
his present Office until the second week
of October. BY that time the record
Of his administration will have beer
practically completed. He has already
taken his place as the ablest Governor
/ New York has had since Samuel ]. Til
! den, and the one who has done the
most toward purifying the State gov
ernment and re-establishing the rule o
the people.
II is an excellent thing for republic
can Institutions that such a man SHOULD
! proceed from the executive chair to tn,
Supreme Bench, to administer justic,
for the rest Of his natural life in thu

Mr.. Foss, who was recently elected Congress
man from the Fourteenth District of Massachu-
sets, declares that the tariff on the products he
manufactures is twice as high as it should be,
and that in his business he does not need more
than one-half the protection he gets, There is
nothing to prevent Mr.. Eoss from lowering the
prices of the things he a manufacturer pro-
duces, or increasing the wages of his employees.
If he lowered prices, Mr. Foss would undcrse
and outdo his competitors. His business would
grow immensely. If he increased the wages Of
his employees, he would be following to the

country, which are based on the higher wages

DEMAND FOR A NEW CHARTER

1t is gratifying to note that the city news
papers are practically unit in favor of having
a new city charter. The Sunday Star thinks
that a revision of the assessment is needed and
such revision would result in increasing the reve-
nues of the city by a considerable sum. The
Every Evening believes the assessment has been
satisfactorily revised by the present board and
adds that the solution OF the problem rests with
a new city charter. We have no doubt that the
assessments are gradually becoming more and
more equitable as public opinion is more and more
insistent in demanding equitable assessments,
but we fancy that if the assessment lists of the
city were to be thoroughly gone over, many
properties would be found not assessed accord
ing TO their real value
We heartily agree with the new city charter
idea and think this matter should be one of the
first things to be presented to the new legislature
There is no need of delay but we should begin
discussing and formulating a new city charter
Wilmington ought to have a modern piece of
machinery, and we will get it sooner
or later But why should we not secure it
