Mr. Wilson at Home.

The democratic state committee of
New Jersey has indorsed the President.
and that means support at st. Louis.
This adds to the Presidents personal
comfort. To have the home folks speak
up for him III Il matter about which
there has been 50 much controversy
must please him beyond the ordinary.
Not for Il moment, probably have the
Jersey democrats been in doubt about
the Presidents attitude toward Il sec
ond term. He accepted the Baltimore
platform in an address delivered to au
audience composed ninetenths of Jer-
seymen; and knowing him us they did
they could not have missed the signifi-
canoe of his silence on that occasion re-
Specting the one-term plank. All of
them since have doubtless felt assured
OF where he would be found when the
time came. And now the democrats
OF the state. speaking through their
state committee. announce that they
are with him.
In considering this Endorsement it is
well to remember that the President will
make headquarters in his home state
during the campaign, and that in a
large measure he will manage the cam
paign. Jersey democrats will be near
at all times: and as all are protesting
loyalty to his fortunes he should re-
reive valuable assistance from them
Likewise should they receive many mis-
sions of trust and confidence from him.
1t is well also to remember. however.
that New Jersey in presidential cam
paigns has always been close state in
normal contests between the two old
parties. Now the republicans have ear
ried it. and now the democrats Neither
party has ever triumphed signally over
the other except when conditions were
exceptional. Bryanism, as expressive of
free silver, gave the republicans large
advantage in the three campaigns in
q which Mr.. Bryan was a candidate. while
the bull moose detection four years ago
gave the democrats large advantage.
This year both Bryanism and bull
moosery seem to be out of the equation.
wisconsin has supplanted the one, and
revival of straight repuhlicanism ban
ished the other. SO that there seems an
preaching stand-up fight on the old
lines.
The republicans are relying much
upon the tariff. The Jersey common
wealth is a hive of manufacturing in
dustries, and in not one of the plants
is the Underwood tariff law popular.
All want new revision on straight pro-
aection principles.

The Minimum Hours Principle.

If the purpose Of Representative Bor
, land in presenting and pressing his ad
ditional hour proposition to the House
appropriations committee had been to
establish the eight hour principle in the
government departments the most equi-
been to provide that eight hours should
be maximum working day and not Il
minimum That is the nature of every
eight hour provision of law, the pur
pose being to prevent people from work
ing more than eight hours and not to
insure them working at least that
length of time. It is a fact that in some
of the government offices in this city
many clerks are already working more
than eight hours for the same pay that
is paid to those who work less. Per
haps an adjustment is desirable, but it
should be an adjustment downward and
not upward.
The discussion on this subject has
clearly brought out the fact that in the
! judgment of those who know the condi-
tions in the government departments, 4
minimum of eight hours is too high a
standard of work The tasks performed
by those who would be affected by the
Borland rider, if it should be adopted.
are with few exceptions of a nature to
impose a serious strain. The close con
centraton of the mind required by
for another hour of work daily. with no
additional compensation. would be a
gross injustice.
1t should be borne in mind as the
Borland rider is considered that the
scale of pay of the government worker
has not been increased for fifty years,
that although the rate of pay in prac-
tically every other line of occupation
has advanced the wages paid by
Uncle Sam to his clerical force stand
just where they did at the close of the
civil war. There have been some in
creases in the pay of higher officials.
on account of the increased cost of liv-
ing, but, although the expenses of the
clerks themselves have increased rela
lively at a greater rate-for the man
of small means always feels the pinch
of rising prices most severely-their
compensation stands just where it was.
Meanwhile the work has increased in
responsibility and in volume. Already
one extension of hours has been eff
fected and now it is proposed to add an
other hour. If this is done the United
States, alone Of all employers in this
country, will be actually reducing wages
while lengthening the working day. If
any private employer undertook to do
this he would be met by a strike i'll
short order.
If it is sincerely felt that there are
inequalities in the working conditions
in the government departments, let the
matter be investigated and consistent
plan be worked out to effect an adjust
ment. But this should not be done
hastily and by the crude method of
adopting a minimum day standard
against every consideration of equity
and against the tendency in the work
ing world today.

Mr.. Roosevelt and the South.
This is from Columbia:

This is from Columbia:
AFTER an all night session, in which
there was strong internal fight wayed
by one wing of the party, the South
Carolina union republicans ended their
convention here early this morning.
after electing four delegates at large
to the republican national convention.
The delegates will go uninstructed.
In a speech before the convention
J. T. Adams stated that he was irrevo-
cably IN favor of Theodore Roosevelt as
the presidential nominee of the repub-
iiean party. He alone of the delegates
placed himself on record"

The Youngstown Indictments.

Yesterdays proceedings at Youngs-
town. Ohio, when the Mahoning county
grand jury, after an investigation of
the January riots in East Youngstown,
which caused several deaths and the de-
struction of great amount of property,
indicted six steel companies and +. IL.
Gary, chairman of the United States
Steel Corporation. are calculated to
raise a question as to the efficacy of
this method of inquiry. The riots them
selves seem to have been due, accord
ing to the grand jury's findings, wholly
to the wage fixing methods of the cor
porations. Ignoring the unbridled law
lessness of the strikers and their sym
pathizers, who pillaged and burned the
town, the grand jury finds that the real
ly guilty party is the head of the cor
poration controlling the industries for
merry giving employment to these men.
1t will be sad travesty on justice if
the effort to fix the blame for the riots
and to administer punishments for the
slaughter and destruction ends with this
presentment. Possibly it was true that
the laws of the state of Ohio have been
violated by the maintenance of 4 com
bination fixing a uniform scale of wages
for mill operatives. This, however, has
continued for long period, and if an
indictable offense should have been so
declared heretofore. 1t was no more of
an offense when the strikers took the
law in their own hands than it was
before the strike was declared.
