New-York tribune., 1912-01-21

narily a Congress elected one November
does not meet until December Of the
year following, and in reforming the cal
endar it would have been an oversight
TO allow that awkward arrangement to
continue unchallenged
Washington dispatches say that the
new plan eliminates the hold-over session
entirely. makes the terms of Repre-
sentatives and Senators begin and end
on the second Tuesday in January fol-
lowing their election and provides for
an annual session beginning on that
date. The terms of the President ana
Vice President are to begin and end on
the last Thursday in April, so that a
Congress elected in Presidential year
would organize four months before the
President was inaugurated, and In case
of a deadlock in the Electoral College
new House Of Representatives would
choose President instead Of hold-over
one. That seems 10 be on the whole a
reasonable provision, inasmuch as the
choice would represent a much more re-
cent expression of the popular will.
If the calendar is to be altered 1t
ought to he altered TO the best possible
advantage and all at once instead OF by
instalments. Mr.. Henry's plan has the
unanimous support OF the Judiciary
Committee of the House. 1t deserves
the country's serious consideration.

CRIMINAL CONDITIONS.

The occurrence at the City Farm Col
ony on Staten Island, where a helpless
paralytic patient died after being scalded
in a bath, as made known TO the public
and to the city and county officials in the
columns of The Tribune, was bad enough
10 bring grave discredit upon the man
agement Of the institution concerned and
to call for the severe punishment Of those
responsible for the outrage. AS soon as
the case was thus brought to his atten-
ton, District Attorney Each OF Richmond
County took energetic measures, in sharp
contrast with other official neglect. lie
has secured three indictments for man
slaughter and advised the grand jury in
an investigation of the institution, re-
sulting in presentment which shows
that the scalding was the natural result
of conditions prevailing at the colony
Briefly stated, the institution contains
about LOO persons, chiefly aged, about
one-fourth of whom are suffering from
distressing and sometimes dangerous
mental and physical diseases, all of
whom are permitted to intermingle, with
entirely inadequate supervision from
physicians and nurses and in part under
the care and control Of imprisoned va
grants and ex-convicts OF vicious pro-
pensities. That simple statement sutii-
ciently indicts the conditions which exist
there as criminal.
That does not mean that the head of
the institution is culpable. The present,
ment explicitly acquits him Of blame.
He is victim of the evil conditions
which are imposed upon him. The fault
is said to lie chiefly in the benighted and
barbarous system of committing all sorts
and conditions Of persons, innocent and
criminal, sick and well, sane and insane,
to the same institution, without discrimi.
nation or segregation, and then failing to
provide means for anything like decent
care and supervision Of them.
Such system naturally-we might
say neutrality-suspicious. such conditions,
and such conditions logically eliminate
in such occurrences as the brutality The
Tribune's exposure Of which has led to
the much needed investigation into the
conduct Of the colony, and will, It is to be
hoped, further compel the radical reform
which common humanity and decency, ~
well as the good name OF the city and
state, imperatively demand.
New-York tribune., 1912-01-21
THE YUKON AND THE SEA.

The earnest desire Of the Yukon rep
resentative in the Canadian Parliament
for seaport for his territory Is easily
understood and Is not without its ap-
peal to sympathy. II Is hard thing for
a country, particularly for one which is
growing, to he shut up inland. or to
have access to the sea only through
ports which for much of the year are
icebound. Russia, for example, has for
several generations been suffering pre-
cisely such grievance. so that much Of
her diplomacy and most Of her political
and military aggressions have been di-
rected toward securing an outlet upon
warm seas. The Transvaal republic in
the days Of its nominal independence,
had the same complaint, on account of
which 1t made persistent efforts TO ac-
quire Delagoa Bay. There are other ex-
amples 10 the same effect.
In the case Of the Yukon there Is not
complete occlusion, any more than in
that Of Manitoba or Saskatchewan. II
We pass by the frontage on the Arctic
Ocean as practically valueless, we must
still remember that the Yukon Is one Of
the members Of the Dominion, and that
an adjacent member does have fine
ocean frontage. The Yukon can there
fore have access to the sea without
crossing alien territory or dependence
upon an alien port. Its grievance is not
that It is entirely shut In from the sea,
but that 1t can reach the sea only by
somewhat roundabout route. That is, of
course, hardship. But so it is hard
ship for Manitoba to be away inland.
1t is q hardship imposed upon 1t by natu-
raj conditions, I'm which there Is no NAL
ice or oppression.
No doubt the Yukon's feeling OF hard
ship is accentuated by the fact that It
is debarred from direct access to the sea
by comparatively narrow strip Of
American territory, to wit, the Pan
Handle" Of Alaska. A short cut Of a
score Of miles would save a roundabout
Journey OF hundreds. That is quite true.
But then the Alaskan "Pan-Handle" is
American just as certainly as the Yukon
is Canadian, and the Yukon has no more
title to claim port on the Lynn Canal
than Alaska has to claim slice of the
Yukon. IL was settled some years ago
that the whole coast is ours from the
Arctic Sea down to historic $40. AS
to the suggestion of the sale or exchange
of a section OF the "Pan-Handle" to Can
ada 1t will not appeal favorably to the
American people. This nation is not In
the land selling business, and even II II
were 1t would hesitate long before dis.
posing of piece which would cut its
own Alaskan territory in two.
There really does not seem to be any
good reason, however, why the Yukon
should not enjoy the use of fine har-
Dor on the always open Pacific, at Lynn
Canal or elsewhere, under the American
flag This country will be glad to afford
it all possible facilities for its growing
commerce. For many years one Of the

THE "CoRNFIELp ROUTE
Mayors Characterization of Queens
Subway Proves Unpalatable.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: The Tribune Of to-day states the
case very succinctly when. In referring TO
Gaynor's "cornheld" outbreak II says: 1T
is just such obstruction as his TO rapid
transit development that has kept Queens
a cornheld."
As a matter OF fact. the remarks OF the
Mayor simply confirm the logic OF Othello:
Trines light as air
Are to the jealous combinations strong
As proofs Of holy writ.
The people OF Queens are interested very
little in the temperamentsl frailties and in
frmities OF the Mayor as a rule, but when
those idiosyncrasies take the form OF gra-
tuitous viliacation of the borough, tend TO
depreciate the value OF property that the
Mayors administration has taxed to the
limit of endurance. IL gets upon our nerves.
1t appears to US that a "corn1eld" bor-
ough that is larger In area than any other
of the five comprising the greater city-the
territory that In the last analysis the city
must look to TO solve the problem OF hous-
ing the great middle class OF the people ana
undo the evils of congestion--is not entitled
to slurs and reproach from the man its
votes helped TO elect and whose represen-
tative he is supposed to be. but to fair. de-
cent treatment.
II IL In exceedingly bad taste for the
Mayor to reiterate continuously his old an
imosity for certain interests In Queens by
recalling old scandals of his (Gaynor ~

like President Connolly and others. who
irrespective Of political Affiliations. are
striving manfully TO produce clean. busl-
nesslike conditions throughout the borough

THOROUGHNESS DEMANDED.


The recommendations Of the state
Factory Investigation Commission which
was appointed as the result Of the Asch
Building fire will soon be before the pub.
lie, unless the date for its report is ex-
tended beyond February IL by the Legis-
lature. The commission has taken a
great deal of testimony on the subject of
fire protection and has had the benefit
Of much expert advice. 1t began its
work amid great expectations and under
the stimulus of a strong popular demand
that such a horror as that which Oc-
CURED in Washington Place should be
made impossible hencefOrth In the
months which have followed public feel
ing has Gained down and time has some
what blunted the sense Of that horror.
but the great body of the people of New
York, workers and property owners
alike, we believe, are as firm as ever in
their desire TO see thoroughgOing meth
DDS taken for the safeguarding of fac
tory workers and are ready TO support
and insist upon the enactment of sound
and well considered measures to that
end
OF course the commission must keep
Its recommendations within the limits Of
what is physically and economically pos
sible 1t cannot provide ideal conditions
any more than tenement house COM
mission can. 1t might wish that all man
ufacturing should be conducted in build
ings open on all sides and limited to one,
two or three stories, but such require
ments would, simply drive industries
away from this state and leave its popu-
lation in want. No one, of course, pro-
poses any such extreme measure, but
the principle must be considered In deter
mining what more moderate require
ments shall be made. Within the limits
Of reason, however, the commission
should have no hesitation about propos-
ing thorough and even radical measures.
IL cannot insure workers against panic
and possible fatality Panic can occur
in an open field. But it can do away
with conditions which invite fire and
panic and make It reasonably certain
that In case of trouble I'm factory the
workers will have a fair chance of es-
cape II is notorious that in thousands
Of buildings to-day they do not have that
chance.
The suggestions that the number Of
workers in factory shall be strictly
proportionate TO the facilities for egress
and that on each floor Of a mandatory
shall be place protected by fire walls
large enough to give refuge to the per-
sons there employed are well worth seri-
Gus consideration. So also is the sug-
gestion that in shops where inHammable
materials are handled sprinkling sys-
TENS be required. 1t should be possible
TO devise measures along these lines
which would give a substantial guaran-
tee OF safety to workers without so bur-
denipg property owners as to hamper in
dustry. Anything less than that meas
ure OF reform would fall short Of the
rightful demands OF the public and also

The final disposition by Governor
Dix's Civil Service Commission OF the
matter of eight supervising factory IN
spectors. which has been pending since
July of last year. must he emlnehtly
satisfactory TO all those who believe that
half a loaf is better than 10 bread. II
is bound TO command the hcartieSt ap-
proval of all those who realize that the
only satisfactory way to settle cohtro-
versies of principle is TO split the dif-
ference. In short. it will inevitably ad-
vance the standing of Governor Dix ana
his commission with every member NJ
the community who attempts to carry
water on both shoulders.
Last July Governor Dix signed bill
creating eight new places In the factory
inspection bureau Of the Labor Depart
ment, at salary Of $500 each. The
officers were 10 he known as supervising
factory inspectors. II was tile Idea ct
the Wainwright commission, which rec.
commended the legislation. that these SUI
pervisng inspectors should No persons
of sufficient technical knowledge, expert
ence and attainments 10 reorGanize the
factory inspection Of the state. They
should have constructive minds and he
able to handle their work on broader
basis than a question of mere enforce
ment Of details of the law, such as en-
cages the attention of the ordinary fac
tory inspectors. For that reason their
COMPENSATION was made large, as the
state reckons such matters. Immediately
labor unions and joh-hungry politicians
undertook to grab these places. ON July
81 the Civil Service Commission listed
them In the exempt classification, which
placed them at the mercy Of the spoils-
men. Organizations interested in proper
enforcement of the labor laws and pro.
lection Of the workers Of the state pro-
tested that the only way TO obtain fit
men was by competition, not by appoint
ment through favoritism. either for labor
unionists or political bosses. In October
rehearing of the case was ordered be-
cause OF these protests. In November
Governor Dix wrote to the Civil Service
Reform Association explicitly promising
that the places would be put into the
competitive class. Finally the Dix COM
mission has put four Of them into the
exempt class and four into the competi-
tive.
Credit for this happy solution Of the
problem. with it's clear thinking and In
exorable logic, undoubtedly must he
given primarily to Governor Dix, essen
italy man OF peace. II will please
alike those who wanted the jobs for the
salary attached aud those who hoped 10
see them made instrumentalitles for
safeguarding the lives and health Of the
toilers in factory and mill. II is con-
vincing testimony TO the ability Of the
Dix commission TO see both sides Of a
question-and act on them slmultane-
ously.
