MIR. Wilson and the Cadets.

We can hardly bring ourselves to
credit the statement that Mr.. Wilson
has said he docs not care a rap for
either West Point or Annapolis, that
he did not desire the presence of these
cadets and midshipmen at the inaugural
parade, but that those of the Virginia
Military Institute would be there"
If this is the reflection of Mr.. Viii
sons sentiment, he seems to have a
good deal to learn about that of the
public as we'll as about the Capital City
itself.
The cadets and middies always have
been one of the most interesting fea-
lures of the great parade The public
hears and reads great deal about the
two schools and what they accomplish
for the army and navy, but they rarely
have a chance to see the boys"
Myriads get that opportunity on March
4 who otherwise would have no occa-
sion to appreciate what fine work the
two academies are doing on behalf OF
our future national defense.
The V. NJ. l. often is called the
"West Point of the Confederag." 1t
cannot fill the gap left by the exclusion
of West Point and Annapolis. But
when it gets to be public showing of
preference by Mr. Wilson for the V.
NJ. l., because, like himself, the cadets
are Virginians, we may tell him from
history that West Point has as strong
claims upon Virginia President for
its own origin. for it was founded by
George Washington and the act was
approved by Thomas Jefferson.

A Pestboil on Our Civilization.

1t appears from the news dispatches
that Col. Roosevelt has taken a hand
in Sitting the charges made by the gar
ment workers in New York by making
a personal investigation, and if only a
small part of that which he tells the
public he has discovered is true. re-
specting the conditions OF the men,
women. and girls who recently went on
strike for "a living" wage, something
ought to be done. and done quickly,
to ameliorate their sad lot at the
hands of grasping, consciencelcss slave
drivers
Mr.. Roosevelt found a girl who was
toiling uninterruptedly, save TO snatch
a bite. from go in the morning until
, o'clock at night. earning So a week
with which TO support her mother. her
self. and three smaller children But
hold on There is condition attached
to the earning OF "all that money" She
had TO finish thirty-six kimonos a day.
This is barbarous. Is it really possible
that proud. boastful New York calmly
ignores the problem of how an over
worked girl is to manage to feed and
clothe herself and four others and pay
rent and incidentals. all out of S. a
week?
The colonel also found a woman
and her husband being paid $40 week
for the work of both. This is neither
civilized nor is it humane Ard yet
this is not all The poor woman, earn
ing So week to support a whole fam
lily, is deducted a small part OF the
starvation wage for the use of the ma
chine on which she does her days
work. If for any cause she loses her
job or quits, this amount is conhscated.
Still more: Another 25 cents is taken
off week to help pay for the power
to run the machine.
1t is too bad that there is no law
on the statute books to punish such
slave driving as Col Roosevelt has
exposed, but show us the American
who would not cheerfully like to see
these fellows punished for such crimes
against humanity

Taffs Plea for Washington.

President Taft's plea before the park
commission OF the Board of Trade that
Congress should appropriate sufficient
money to make Washington the most
beautiful city in the world, not in the
dim future, but in the next few years.
should receive the careful consideration
and nonpartiSan support OF every men,
Der of Congress.
The plea is one entitled to such con-
sideration, first, because the President S
long association with this city has pc
culiarly qualified him to speak with
authority on its future, and, secondly.
because he spoke at a time when, due
to his retirement from public life. his
motives are of the most public-spirited
kind imaginable.
His argument. in brief. is that the
government has enough money to ex-
tend and complete the park system, as
a framework for the great, beautiful
public buildings that represent the
majesty and sovereignty of this coun-
try" This being so. he argues, is it not
better to appropriate the necessary
money now. so that the American citi-
zen OF to-day can rejoice in the ac-
oomplished fact OF Washington being
the most beautiful city in the world,
than to fail to so appropriate and leave
that privilege to future generations? !?
The argument is one that will COM
mend itself to Americans all over this
country.
Such action as the President advo-
Gates would be comparatively free from
political influences if undertaken short
" after March I. but if action is de
layed until three or four years hence,
there is small doubt that the pre-
vailing party will at that time desire to
be economical for popular purposes.
and consequently fail to make the nee
cssary appropriation. 1t is a matter
calling for prompt and broadminded
action on the part of the new admin
istration.

The iIIiteracy Test.

The House, in accepting the confer

Senate. evidently rejecting the theory,
so frequently put forward recently,
that man who cannot read may be
as good a citizen as one who can
These arc the requirements
All aliens over sixteen years of
age physically capable of reading. who
cannot read the English language or
dialect, including Hebrew or Yiddish,
provided that any admissible alien or
any alien heretofore or hereafter le-
gally admitted, or any citizen of the
United States, may bring in or send

two years of age, his wife, his mother,
his grandmother, or his unmarried or
widowed daughter, if otherwise admls-
sible. whether such relative can read
or not, and such relatives shall be per-
mitted to enter
If immigrants can read intelligently
thirty or forty words in their native
tongue from slip prepared by the i'm
migration authorities, they will meet
the demands OF the law. The pre-
sumption evidently is that a person in
telligent enough to acquire the ability
to read at home is capable of becoming
an intelligent citizen here.
If the Senate concurs, the United
States will be greatly strengthened for
its fight against illiteracy, II it is to
stand where il ought to stand in the
list of nations according to their prog
rcss in popular education. There are
now in this country millions of illit
crates. not all of whom are foreign
born or negroes OF the population
of the United States ten years of age
and over. II per cent were classified
in the census of 1910 as illiterates. OF
native-born whites I.535,53o. or 3 per
cent. were put in this category; of
foreign-born whites. I2.S per cent, of
colored, 3o.5 per cent. The aggregate
of the illiteratcs was 5,5o7, COS The
proportion of foreign born to the whole
mass of ilIiterates is responsible for
the United States falling below several
other nations in the table of literacy.
There are sections in which the alien
clement is not strong. and in which
the public school system still is very
weak. In the South Atlantic division
illiterates constituted 23.o per cent of
the population of ten years of age and
over; in the South Central division

should awaken the people of the Unit

Regulation, Not Dissolution.

Attorney General Wickersham has
acted with wisdom and courage in
dealing with the complaints against
the American Telegraph and Telephone
Company by turning them over to the
Interstate Commerce Commission on
the ground that what this company
needs is regulation" and not "dissolu-
ton"
Two telephone systems, in any COM
munity are a public nuisance, and
while the public has been forced at
times to such an expedient in order
to obtain good service 1T reasonable
rates. such a course should not be nee
essary-and will not be-once the gov
ernment takes firm hold of the situa-
ton. The Interstate Commerce Com
mission is the proper agency for such
regulation. The Interstate Commerce
act makes telephone, telegraph, and
cable companies, engaged in interstate
or foreign business, common carriers,
and requires that the rates charged
shall be just and reasonable, and pro-
hibits the granting of undue or unrea-
sonable preference to any one.
Enforcement of this provision of the
act will remedy the evils complained
of by those who petition the Depart
ment of Justice to prosecute the Tel
ephone Trust" under the Sherman anti
trust law.
