A MARTYR TO THE CAUSE OF
GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES.

Oscar F. Nelson, president of the
National Federation of Postoffice
Clerks, is a distinguished martyr to
the cause of free speech and human
rights for Government employees.
1t is quite as likely as not that be-
fore this fight is ended it will claim
more martyrs. 1t need only be said
that if the men and women who are
willing to make sacrifices for the good
of their fellow workers. can do it with
as little Inconvenience or disaster to
themselves as in the case of Mr.. Mel
son. martyrdom in this cause will be
come mighty popular enterprise
Mr.. Nelson is in Washington, at
tending the national convention of
Civil Service employees. He is fine
type of the kind of citizen the Govern
ment needs in its service, and either
can't get or can't keep. because they
have now many it doesn't deserve
them.
Oscar Nelson was a clerk in the
Chicago postoffce. For years work
ing conditions in that big establish
ment had been a disgrace to the Gov
eminent responsible for them. Post
masters were constantly demanding
more help to handle the immense and
rapidly growing business, and were al
WAYS insisting that their people were
overworked
To make matters worse, quarters
were inadequate, the men were
crowded, light and ventilation were
had. and in general the place was
unfit for the conduct of the big and i'm
portant business that was carried on
there.
A number of the employees have died
with tuberculosis, which is traced di-
rectly to the vicious conditions under
which they have worked. Sickness has
been so common among them, likewise
traceable to these same conditions, as
at times seriously to interfere with
the efficiency of the office work
In any other kind of employment in
America, the working force in such cir
cumstanccs would send a committee to
the management to present their griev-
anses. and respectfully but earnestly
to ask that conditions be improved.
in the Chicago postoffice, however, it
being a Federal establishment, that
precious executive order 6f January 81,
1902, forbade the employees taking such
steps in their own behalf. They might
fall sick and the business of the office
might fall into confusion; they might
die of consumption and leave their
families to suffer; those seem, indeed,
to be the peculiar privileges of that
service. But if they rose up and pro-
tested, like selfrespecting American
citizens, and demanded reforms, they
would be fired under the executive
order
Oscar Nelson was one man with the
rudimentary notion that the constitu
tional right of free speech and of ira
dition was hardly to be repealed by

THE CAUCUS OF THE HOUSE
DEMOCRATS.

talk of a hog combine" in connection
with the work of the Democratic
House caucus last night. The fact is
that the vote in favor of having the
committees of the House named by a
committee rather than by the Speaker
represents a magnificent victory for an
insurgency which less than two months
ago seemed to represent only small
minority of Democratic members, but
which grew and expanded till prac-
tically everybody was forced to ac-
cept the plan because public opinion
was practically unanimous in support
of it.
1t requires no long memory to recall
that when the jubilating Democratic
members of the Sixty first Congress
came back to Washington. at the be-
ginning of December, there immedi-
ately developed the evidence of a quiet
purpose to forget all about issue OF
rules reforming the House, to retain
substantially the old forms of pro.
cedure, and to leave the appointment
of committees in the hands of the
Speaker To some gentlemen who took
party pledges seriously, the mere sug-
gestion of such q course looked a good
deal like treason.
Among the men who took this view,
who insisted that pledges ought to be
followed by performance, was Repre-
sentative James Hay of Virginia.
Shoulder to shoulder with him, fight
ing the battle of good faith, stood Rep
resentative Thetus W. Sims of Ten
nessee. A few others joined their
ranks, but in the beginning their
movement looked like a hopeless pro-
test, likely to be overruled by a sweep
ing majority.
Yet James Hay of Virginia was last
night elected permanent chairman of
the House caucus, in token that the in
surgency had swept everything before
it, and that the Democratic House was
going to give an honest performance
of its pleasures.
To the little group of men who or
ganized and led that seemingly hope
less movement to a splendid victory,
is due the large share of honor.
Messrs. Hay and Sims divide their
distinctions with Mr.. Jones of Vir-
ginia, Mr.. Hull of Tennessee, Mr..
Henry of Texas, Claude Kitchin Of
North Carolina, and a few others who
stepped to the front and led the fight.
The caucus named, tentatively, the
Committee on Ways and Means which
was given out several days ago by the
leaders of the movement that last
night dominated the entire proceedings.
1t was made, also, a committee on
committees, and its members re-
stricted from holding any other COM
mittee position.
So far, so good. In the matter of
making definite policy under which
tariff revision shall be considered in
the next House, the caucus accom-
plished no very conclusive results. On
this point the Democrats are divided
between the plan of revision by
schedule, and that of general and
sweeping revision under an omnibus
bill. No caucus of House Democrats
can at this time determine party policy
IN this regard, because SO many leaders

Cardinal Gibbons on the Recall.


II have sufficient confidence in the
moral integrity of our legislatures to
be convinced that the great majority
of them have never bent the knee to
mammon. To give to the masses the
right of annul]ing acts Of the legisla-
ture is to substitute mob laws for
established law. To recall a Judge
because his decisions do not meet
with popular approval is an insult to
the dignity, independence and self
espect of our judiciary. Far less
menacing to the commonwealth is an
occasional corrupt, incompetent judge
than one who would be the habituai
slave of a capricious multitude, who
has always his ear to the ground
trying to find out the verdict Of the
people,
