steel schedule rates as OF fundamental Importance
Ask them whether they would expect the same wages
IL their employers were forced to cut the price OF
steel by Sc per ton. Ask them whether they are
prepared to be driven that extra bit which employers
hard put by foreign competition would exact from
them in hours or effort.
This is the economic phase OF the problem Of
these men who work twelve hours day and seven
days in the week. 1t is all that Governor Wilson
seems to see There Is also humanitarian phase
phase into which enters the question Of societys
and the Governments responsibility for the welfare
Of the individual.
Despite his sympathetic picture, labor Is in Gov
ernor Wilson's program q commodity in which the
Government must not be permitted to take any ex-
cept an economic interest. The question as to
whether an employer shall work his men eight or ten
or sixteen hours day; whether there shall be two
shifts three in continuous twenty four-hour indus
tries whether wages, hours and conditions Of labor
shall be given publicity; whether the sick, the nvol-
unfairly unemployed, the, aged shall be protected
from want; whether the mothers and future mothers
Of the country shall be forced to waste their vitality
at starvation wages-theCe is nothing vital in this
issue. II is something that can be left to the mercy
Of the employer and the wantdriven work.seeker for
decision.
The tariff is the only issue Of this campaign! As
between Republican and Democrat this is true. This
wornout treadbare issue is all that is left them to
dispute about. But by grace Of the common instinct
Of charity good faith to ones fellow and social re-
sponsibiliy that is inherent in the American people
a newer, higher issue than this has been placed be-
fore the public. II Governor Wilson refuses to see
It, II is because, like many other schoolmasters, he
dare not abandon the old textbook that he knows by
heart.
The Washington times., 1912-10-07
THE STEEL WORKERS PROBLEM.

Commenting on President Tafts assertion that
the election Of Democratic President and Demo-
cratic Congress would mean four years of rainy
days" Governor Wilson asks this pertinent question
What kind of days those that are enjoyed by
some of the employees of the overshadowng steel mo-
nopoly who have to work days in the week twelve
hours Of the and cannot when the 1856
weary days have passed and is told, find their
bills paid their little families properly sustained
Are they waiting for rainy days?
The curious thing about the question is that when
Governor Wilson asked it he had in mind only the
trust and the high of living The latter he would
reduce by lowering the tariff; the former he would
destroy by the same means; and these the two
greatest evils he can find the political surface he
proclaims the tariff to be the biggest issue in the
present campaign. The fact that whether the tariff
steel is retained taken off, these will
tinue to work twelve hours day and seven days a
week. and that not alone in the shadow Of the steel
monopoly but in every independent steel mill as well
the same labor conditions obtan-this is something
which Governor Wilson overlooks.
Ask any Of these toilers whether they regard the

NEW YORK's ONLY HOPE.

The, shooting of Big Jack" Zelig the chief Of
the gunner concerned in the murder Of Rosenthal,
is the latest development in New Yorks remarkable
police scandal. Zelig expected to be one Of the
most important witnesses against Police Lieutenant
Becker whose trial for completely in the murder Of
Rosenthal begins tomorrow.
There seems no other logical reason for yester-
days cold-blooded murder than that the defense of
the accused official was so threatened by the pros
pectve testimony of Zelig that it was deemed worth
the risk involved in putting him securely out of the
way. 1t is on the other hand almost nconcevabe
that any man however depraved could be found will
ing to take the risks involved simply for the sake OF
protecting Becker from one source of danger But
whatever the Inside" Of this latest crime may be il
is another evidence that New York city, more than
any other city in tine country, is in need of house
cleaning which never be accomplished by political
bosses and city officials chosen and dictated by them
ln police department under Waldo has been shown
to be unutterabIy corrupt. Under Waldos successor
if he be the choice Of the Bosses it is likely to be
worse instead of better No city, State, no gov
eminent of any Sort big little has any hope under
the boss system. New Yorks salvation requires the
end OF boss rule.

NEW FACTORY LAWS.

There is some satisfaction in knowing, in the
middle of the hurrah and Of the campaign that
something has actually been accomplished in the
cause OF industrial justice.
While the fight for more humane factory laws
continues to be material for campaign issues within
the last week the State Of New York has begun to
have law which reduces the working hours and i'm.
proves the conditions Of labor for more than 375
women and children.
Thus out Of the tragedy of Washington place,
New York, has come this late acknowledgment in the
law OF the conditions revealed by that fire. The public
agitation reused by the sacrifice Of those hundred
women, directed by sustained inquiries and protests
is now beginning to bear fruit in legislation.
by the new law every woman and girl and every
boy under eighteen who works in a factory in New
York is limited to ffty-four hours Of labor a week,
and the safety Of all factory employees is further
ssfeguarded by prescribed fire regulations, backed
up by regular inspection and registry Of all factories
in the State.

People You May Not KnowFacts You May Not Have eard

Nobody seems to know Just why
or how It happened. but there is a
little place In Michigan called
Romeo II may be that It was be-
cause there Is another place called
Juliet. There Is always a Romeo
for every Juliet.
But It was not romance, poetry,
drama. or comedy that made Romeo,
Mich. famous. and It wasn't some
thing that you draw out Of key and
that foams when you pour It In a
tin bucket.
Romeo, Mich, has the honor OF
having presented to the world Ed:
ward Dana Durand.
Edward is Uncle Sans numerical
secretary. Every time the train OF
national progress pauses at the de-
cennial station to take on a fresh
supply OF hot air and gas, Ed counts
the children to see that they are all
on board. It's getting so that II
takes Ed and his army Of assistants
such a time to count up the folks
aboard with all the pieces Of bag
gage and things. that the train is
slowing down for the next stop be-
fore he Is through.
Is a Good Counter.
And yet the young man from
Romeo Is one OF the best counters In
The Washington times., 1912-10-07

the country. Counting people and
things has always been his business.
He tried law, but when he realized
that counting his clients might be
too light Job, he decided to become
a school teacher. This offered bet
ter opportunity to count.
But there was turning point in
his life as there Is In almost every
life. A man on the way to the
brewery to get Job as a fireman and
work his way up to the presidency
Of the National Brewers Associa-
ton may have his hat blown off in
the mud, walk across the street to
dry 1t at a shoe cobbler's stove, and.
being late for the firing job may be-
come musical director in a female
seminary.
One never can tell.
Then the Turning Point.
The turning point came in Direc-
tor Durand's life after he had passed
the dead-line almost and soon would
have become a confirmed pedagogue
He thought he ought to teach eco
Monies. That was his specially. He
was headed in the right direction
but 1t was not intended that his light
should be hid under u bushel.
Prof. ]. w. jerks, teacher Of eco.
Monies at Cornell and president Of
the American Economic Association
recognized Durand's special ability
and made him assistant secretary tc
the association. This was enough. II
turned the boy from Romeo into his
proper channel. Then he began tc
step lively.
A little later he was made editor
of the United States Industrial Com
mission and later its secretary
Here he was able to toy with prac

WORKING OUT THE PARCELS POST.

Government officials are engaged in the crafty
ing business of investigating some practical method
by which the parcels post can be made to bring the
consumer and the farmer into closer communication.
No sensible person expects to see the parcels
post solve the problem of the high cost of living;
but there is to believe that if the postman
can call at the farmers door and carry certain sorts
of produce directly to the housewife in the city
these two will find way to do business. II they
do it ought to be helpful to those who make such
an arrangement
1t will take time to work out the possibilities OF
the parcels post but the scope of tine project is
studied the reason there is to anticipate good
results.

teal. nationwide economics to his
hearts content.
More Expert Counting.
In 1902 he was employed by the
Census Bureau as a special expert
on street railways and electric light
plants. On this Job he demonstrated
his ability to count things. He
counted everything but the knocked
down fares and runaway kilometres.
After counting everything that
could be identified and counted in
these two industrial lines he was
transferred to the Bureau Of Cor
poratlons. where he did some more
expert counting and investigation.
Edward Dana Durand possesses
two distinguishing characteristics
that ft him peculiarly for the posi-
ton Of Director of the Bureau OF
the Census. One is his rage for
counting things.
The other is his suave diplomacy,
his ability to turn down even a
United States Senator with so much
grace and tenderness that the Sena-
tor departs from the benign pres
ence with a comfortable feeling that
he has won, when he has really lost
hopelessly.
Tells Them Frankly.
It Is not intended to be conveyed
here that Durand deceives his appli-
cant or the influential friend Of the
applicant for position under the
bureau. He tells him frankly that
there is nothing doing, but he does
1t in such way that the applican,
goes away feeling tina. he had rather
/ be turned down in that way than tc
get the job. The turn-down is sc
pleasant that Congressman and Sen.
ators who have once experienced
the Joy of 1t are believed to have
gone SO far as to hatch up imaginary
applicants for places among theil
constituents so as to again expert
ence the excruciating happiness o
being turned down by Director
Durand.
The Census Bureau probably EN-
ploys more people direct without re
kcourse to the civil service ex
animation than any other burea,
of the Government Hundreds o
special employees are appointed TO
work in the field and every Congress
man and Senator has long list O
constituents who desire those places
, Many of these people are employee,
for special purposes and for shor
terms for such work as takin
special census Of crops, cotton gin
nings. etc.
