OUR DEPARTMENT OF STATE.
Its Father and First Secretary Was
Robert r. Livingston.

Our first secretary for foreign affairs
was Robert r. Livingston of New York,
a statesman and jurist who ranked high
among the giants who ruled the Cont
mental congress and carried the coun-
try through the Revolution He Great
ed the department in the face of diff
culties which would have driven less
courageous man away from his work,
for in the congress there was a gen
eral fear of government and a general
Discrimination to depute any govern
mental powers. SO the executive de
partments which were created were
kept in leading strings and We're not
allowed to go beyond reaching distance
of congress, their mother and master
The department of foreign affairs
was created in 1871, and Livingston
in June, 1888, and the department was
suspended until John Jay was made
the secretary in September 1874
Since then it has had a continuous ex-
istence, having been expanded into the
department of state in 1889
Livingston had charge under congress
of the conduct of the country's foreign
affairs, he gave advice and information
to congress; he was the medium for In
structing our ministers abroad and of
communicating with the French minis
ter in this country; he had an office
with assistants and clerks and a sys-
tematically organized executive depart
ment.
Let the editor of the Diplomatic Cor
respondence of the American Revolu-
ton, DR.. Francis Wharton, describe the
father of the state department:
Livingston" he says, though a
much younger man than Franklin, pos
sessed in his dispassionateness and his
many sidedness not q few of Frank
Inns characteristics. From his prior
administrative experience as royalist
recorder of New York he bad at least
some acquaintance with practical gov
ernment in America; his thorough stud
les as scholar and jurist gave him a
knowledge Of administrative politics
in other spheres. As secretary OF for
eign affairs in 17S1-S3 he did more
than any one in the home government
In shaping its foreign policy. But the
system he indicated was not the
militia system of unsophisticated i'm
pulse, but that which the law Of ma
tions had at the time sanctioned as
the best mode of conducting interna-
tional affairs His course as secretary
was based on the law Of nations as
thus understood by him. Gaillard

three months since its organization.
OF this number there were is
sued between July Is and August
10 charters to the following unions
Two to central bodies, q to trade
unions, and 8 TO federal unions.
From August 15 to September
15 the increase was: Five central

From September Is to October

In addition to these charters were
issued to the international Jewelry

union
There is no diminution the mum

strong probability that the number

sands of workers that there is no

That thought is irrevocably i'm

EIGHT HOUR RATIONAL DAY

Cincinnati Nov. TO- The
economic argument that industry
can thrive only with long day,
and that any curtailment of it would
be destructive, can be met very ef-
fectively by the fact that shor en.
ing the work period, even to eight
hours, almost invariable decreases
the quantity and improves the quail
ity of output. Thus did Dr.
Frederick S Lee, professor Of ply
s1ology in Columbia University,
New York, answer the question:
is the eight-hour working day ra
tional?" before the American Pub
lie Health Association annual
meeting here.
DR.. Lee, in discussing this mat
ter, made it plain that he was not
in any sense considering the politi-
cal aspects Of the eight hour pro
blem. The eight hour problem
is primarily problem of physio-
logy; if the physiological effects Of
any kind Of labor are bad, its con
ditions ought to be changed, said
DR.. Lee. This is fundamental
and should precede any considera
tion Of the economic and social ef-
fects of a change Of conditions.
Since the middle of the nineteenth
century the e!ght-hour day has
bee the goal of labor Il has
gradually been gained, and IS doubt
less destined to become very wide
spread. Th9 duration of daily
hours should be determined ~ the
Physiological effects Of tie work
and, secondarily, by its economic
and social features. Labor pro-
duces fatigue, and, when continued
farther, exhaustion.
In fatigue the physiological
powers are weakened, and in ex-
haustion this may pass on to in
creased susceptibility TO disease,
neurasthenia, immortality, intem-
perance and even crime Exces-
sive industrial work is often Re.
sponsible for these serious results
