Items Gathered In From Far and Near President's Gravest Responsibility. From the New York Sun. President Taft haa had and possibly may have no more important duty than that of filling the vacancy caused by th death of the late Chief Justice Fuller. A hasty selection Is neither necessary or desirable. Our country la entering upon a very critical stage of its constitutional development and tha next chief Justice may play a part only leas important than that of Chief Justice Marshall. The growth of the nation, the ever-Increasing complexity of Ita .governmental system and the consequent difficulty of preserving the equilibrium between the respective power, of state and nation make it reasonably probable that the next chief Justice will exert an Influence rf extraordinary importance. In a quailfled sense but to a very practical degree th supreme court Is a continuous constitutional convention. While It Is guided by the simple but masterly outlines of the constitutlou. yet it becomes necessary to apply and even adapt the fundamental principles of tha constitution to the Infinite changes caused by steam and electricty.

A Pleasure Deferred Th people of this community are extremely sorry that Theodore Roosevelt's one speech In Indiana this Fall will not be at Richmond. It is doubtful whether there is another place in the state where the feeling of regard for America's' most distinguished citizen is so hearty or so universal. Democrats or Republicans partisanship has little to do with this ' feeling as the petition of over five thousand names from Wayne County testified. " To have Theodore Roosevelt here on the occasion of the celebration of the centenary of this county would have been a quickening of patriotic feeling. To have Invited Theodore Roosevelt was the highest tribute this County could pay him and the memory of those men who were foremost In the early Winning of the West. That the lack of time to fill pressing duties was the sole reason for Mr. Roosevelt's letter saying It is a "simple Impossibility' for blm to accept Wayne County's Invitation goes without saying. In the customary phrase Wayne County hopes It is only a pleasure de ferred. ' , .

A World Issue

There is one Issue upon which the most of us agree. Literally the most of us the many as' contrasted with the few. That issue is always the same, though 'from moment to moment and from year to year the application of it changes. The only difficult thing for people to see is the real issue, covered as It is by the guile of man and the play of passion. One day it may be a municipal matter a water, a gas or electric franchise. Tomorrow it is the cost of livling. Yesterday it was the problem of employer and his liability for safety. Today? i . And so with each turn of what the poetic Budhists call the Wheel o' Life It resolves itself Into the conflict between the Few and the Many. II Is nothing but the determination to combat Greed and Selfishness. Por It is inconceivable that without that there would be no Many; nor any Few. ) "

It is a Universal Question. 1 Look at England and its throes and the increasing number of paupers in that country. Is It any wonder that a Labor Party should be active there? Look at America what means the Insurgent movement? Garfield has just gone before the people of Ohio on a single issue-

the Issue. "Manhood first; Property second.

It is interesting vital to know what is being said overseas. In that whirlpool of Unrest the same the world over Maurice Hewlett made a speech in England which is so concise a statement of the Issue and tho remedy that The Most of Us can take full heart

"Now, history teaches me that when there comes a fair standup fight upon a plain Issue between the poor who work and the rich who work them, the poor always win. "They have always won, and they always will it is in the very nature of the case. . There are many reasons for it; It is obvious for instance that the poor are better equipped for such a fight, more inured to hardship, better trained and in better wind; it is obvious also that they are many and the rich few. "But here is a much better reason than any; the poor win because they must They are desperate, fighting for bare existence. To decline the battle means death, to be beaten may mean death. If death is to be risked in either case, but life may ensue from one, there Is no question of the choice they will make. So there you. have the teaching of history upon your single issue fight. "Here today we have aa I see it, such a fight fair and square in front of us. There is, according to me, a single issue. "WHO IS TO CONDUCT OUR PRIVATE AFFAIRS; IS IT TO BE THE MEN WHO REPRESENT YOU AND ME, OR THE MEN WHO REPRESENT THEMSELVES AND THEIR LIMITED CLASS, THE CLASS OF THE RICH, THE IDLE, AND THE PRIVILEGED? "It is an issue which, however chosen, we welcome, and one which we are certain to win. There cannot be any possible doubt about that But we ought not to lose sight of the fact that in fighting to a finish we are conducting a revolution, neither more nor less. That is an ugly word with ugly and bloody associations clinging about it; but in England, thank God, we conduct our revolutions for the most part peacefully not with pikes in the open, but with pencils in the polling booth. And that is the way for all reasonable men nowadays to conduct their revolutions.

There is a striking similarity between the views of Mr. Hewlett and Mr. Garfield. It is the cry of Insurgency. "Manhood first; property second.

of the kind could have taken place thirty years ago, even If tbe moving picture had been then invented, be cause it was at that time supposed that parents had some authority over their children, and it was assumed that It would be exercised in a righteous manner to the good of the individuals and society alike. There were in that day what wer called "immor al shows," but unless they were notably offensive there was no call on the officers of the law to close them. The children. were forbidden to attend and moral persons were supposed to keep away on principle, leaving patronage to that portion of the community which it was assumed could not be Injured. Regulate the Weather! ' From the New York World. Will not the weather bureau ask the colonel at Sagamore Hill to have the midday temperature lowered and occasional showers provided at night? Hal Hal From the Chicago Post. A man was robbed at the point of a pipe which he thought was a revolver. It was a mere sham. TWINKLES BY PHILANDER JOHNSON. A Ting of Suspicion. "That speaker always starts off," said Farmer Corntossel, "by tellin' what the country needs." "Naturally and properly." "I s'pose so. Only I notice that when a man goes out of his way to tell me what I need it's always somethin in his particular line o' goods." In Doubt. "I suppose you are going to mend your political fences this summer." "No." replied the statesman,' "the question now is whether I shall try to sit on the fence or Jump It entirely." ' " A Filial Suggestion. ' "When I" was your age," said the

man of severe standards, "I worked twelve and sometimes fourteen hours a day." "I'd be careful about telling it where we may be overheard," replied the young man. "It is evident that you did not belong to a union."

Active Mentality. "How does Bliggins small boy come to be regarded as such a wonder of intelligence?" "By adopting the method Of numerous grown-ups. He is constantly discovering problems whose answer nobody knows.'! Looking Forward. In the great future there will come a day , When we a path of confidence may tread And learn exactly what our great men say. Instead of what somebody says they said.

EIGHT HOURS BEST Senator Beveridge Stands Shorter Workday. For CITES NOTED EXPERIMENT. What a German Manufacturer Learned by Reducing Hours of Toil Mor and Better Work Don Reasons In Favor of Eight Hour Day. Tbe eight hour day bad an extensive airiug lu tbe U lilted States senate one day recently when Senator Beveridge of Indiana took tbe positlou that under the nerve rackiug pressure of modern machluery a day of that length is more profitable iu most trades than a longer one. He bad priuted in tbe Congression.il Jtecord a lengthy editorial from the January issue of tbe Scientific Americuu. showing that tbe building of battleships under tbe eight bour day iu tbe nary yard was more protitable and satisfactory than having tuem built by private corporations. lu referring to the editorial Mr. Beveridge said: "1 think that article lays somewhat at rest tbe fallacy of the tremendous addition to the cost of building a ship in a navy yard under the eight bour day. The plain truth about it is that when the figures ure examined it Is found that tbe difference Is not so very great. "It appears upou careful study that some geueml statements that we have taken for grauted about tbe tremen!dous additional cost due to tbe fact that the men work only eight hours are not borne out by tbe facts, and when they come to be investigated tbey are found to form one of those visions of Imagination which dissolve under examination. "The results of notable experiments by a prominent Gerniau manufacturer who wished to ascertain to what extent it was possible to balance a diminution In the hours of labor by intensified production aud whether tbe greater exertion called for entailed a more rapid waste of physical powers demonstrated that the shorter workday was most profitable. "Starting out on a basis of an eleven and three-fourths hour day. this manufacturer reduced the hours of his employees to uine a day. This arrangement proved very successful and held for several years, wben the question of a still further reduction of time came up for renewed discussion. "The manufacturer thereupon declared his willingness to introduce tbe eight-bour day in view of the success which had followed tbe first cut iu the hours of his employees, agreeing that tbe standard of wages should remain the same for tbe eight bour day as for the former nine hours work. Before the end of tbe first year it was ascertained that neither a diminution In performance bnd taken place nor that the workers had been worked to excess, not even tbe older men. "Figures show that the hourly earnings Increased 1G.2 per cent. In other words, tbe employee working eight hours a day did per cent more Work per bour tbau he did when he worked nine hours a day. It is clear from this that in an entire day be did more work ou the eight hour basis than he formerly did on tbe nine bour basis. . . . "A historic review of hours of labor will help us. When tbe factory system in Eugland begau. toward the :lose of the eighteenth century, the workday was from fourteen to sixteen hours. It took several decades to get the workday down to ten hours. "In America the average workday was from twelve to fourteen hours at tbe beginning of the last century. President Van Buren reduced it to ten hours in the nuvy yards, and all private shipbuilding plants followed tbe government's ' lead. Then, a general movement began for ten. hours, which Qnaliy succeeded In nearly all manufacturing, mining and building trades. Next General Grant secured eight hours for government employees. "Here are a few reasons for the eight bour day: The concentration over intricate present day machinery exhausts braiu and nerve more rapidly than tbe crude force of old time methods. Taking a workingman's life altogether, be will do more work and better work in nu eight bour day tban in a ten hour day. because nature has more time to build up wornout energy. Aud we must consider tbe whole working life of the laboring man. not six or eight years only. "For tbe laborer Is a buman being, not a mere machine. He has the right to get something out of life recreation. Improvement rest If it is said that he will use these extra hours in dissipation the answer Is that tbe enormous majority of worklngmen go to their homes, tend their gardens in spring and sunyner, do the borne

chores una. I auJ wiuinl auu have Ue evenings with their wive and families for reading or amusement "If It be said that the employer works ten. twelve and fourteen hours tbe answer Is that it is not tbe continuous and concentrated attention over a machin. The employer's work, hard as It is. Is varied. He is the master of it and likes to do it. Tbe laborer's work is unvaried, unbroken, and be must do It whether he likes It or not "If it is said that eight hours, why not seven, six. Eve or no hours at all. the plain answer Is. If ten hours, why not twelve hours, fourteen, eighteen or the whole twenty -four? Such an argument either way Is silly. Tbe justice and good sense of tbe American people will Instantly check any such foolish demand as that

The "Vicious Circle of Poverty. "Unfitness means low wuges. low wages mean insufficient food. 'and Insufficient food means unfitness for work.' so that the vicious circle is complete." This is what Kountree calls the "vicious circle of poverty." "May we not, however, say conversely." writes Frederick Alniy iu the Survey, "that Increased income through better wages means better food and quarters, these mean better strength and courage, these mean better work and Income, and so, Instead of an endless chain of poverty, we may have an endless chain of progress. "We have shown here In Buffalo that steady, hard labor by willing but unskilled men does not afford tolerable living: that the dollar and a half day man. and there are thousands of him, must see bis family underfed and in want of deceucies because his wages are too low to buy them; that a wage is general ou which safe living Is impossible." Bare Prosecution of Unions. An amendment to tbe sundry civil appropriation bill adopted by the United States house of representatives stipulates that no part of the $100,000 provided in the bill for the enforcement of the Sherman anti-trust law can be used in the prosecution of labor organizations "for entering into any combination or agreement having in view the Increasing of wages, shortening the bours or bettering the conditions of labor or for any act done In furtherance thereof not in itself unlawful." In offering the amendment Mr. Hughes of New Jersey met the opposition of Republicans, who declared that except in tbe Cleveland administration labor organizations had never been prosecuted under the Sherman anti-trust law. Mr. nugbes retorted that because the present administration had not entered upon such a prosecution was no reason why It might not do so. Daily Labor Organs In Australia.' There are now two dally labor papers published In Australia, the Barrier Daily Truth, in New Foutn Wales, and the Dally Herald, in South Australia. The laboring people In that country are coming to the front rapidly. LABOR NOTES. The Initiation fee of Cleveland Painters' union is $25.

F. of L., not yet a year old, already has a membership of 500,000 in good standing. The New York Retail Grocers' association has resolved "that the members of the association will not weigh or sell wooden dishes for butter, net weight being our motto." Office building scrubwomen at Cleveland struck recently for $1.23 a day. The payment of $1.35 per . day for eight bours at tbe Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers new building it responsible for tbe unrest. PALLADIUM WANT ADS PAY.

Funerals Must Wait for Lunch Paris Undertakers Say They 'Can't Ruin Their Health for the Sake of Mid-day Funerals.

Paris, July 14 Burials in Paris are now so expensive that many people are of the opinion that they cannot afford to die: but they happened to be managed by a company, holding a municipal monopoly whose servants are in a constant state of dissatisfac tion. Undertaker's strikes though ofl ten threatened, will never, of course,! really come off. But the men have grievances which they air once a I month at least. The latest is "Why should we bury people during lunch time?" Funerals, especially "fashionable funerals" that is to say, those at which according to traditional French customs, thousands of official persons attend are very often held at noon. Tbe cheaper funerals only take place in the morning. Now if the hour is noon, when on earth are the undertakers to lunch? That Is what they ask. At 11 a. m. they have no appetitebesides, even if they bad, it would return to them long before dinner time. On the other band funerals begun at noon are never over until 2 at the earliest. Two, in Paris is, of course a ridiculously late hour for lunch, Parisians being early risers, and moreover, eating no breakfast to speak of. It is clear that If the undertakers have to wait often till 2 for their first square meal of the day, it will be positive, ruin to their digestions. Why should a municipal service inflict dyspepsia upon its employes? The syndicated undertakers, therefore, petition that prohibited hours for burial be fixed from noon till 2. Neither the persons buried nor the mourners will suffer any inconvenience and tbe undertakers will be able to lunch quietly, deliberately and at the proper time. Odd Band of Thieves. Several men who are suspected of being members of a gang which is described as having devoted special energy to the robbing of houses of mourning are now under lock and key. The ?ang is known as "La Bande des Craquemorts." and according to the account which is given of its exploits, it particularly singled out chateaux or villas at which deaths had occurred, and while relatives of tbe deceased were watching the corpse its members effected surreptitious entrances and laid hands on the inheritances. But the band would not seem, according to this story to have confined its. activity to houses of mourning. It is believed to have broken into the registrar's office of a large court bouse and to have attempted a similar coup at another tribunal. Some time ago the man who is suspected of being the ringleader was taken into custody, but some friends contrived to insert a small saw into the sole of one of a pair of boots which they were allowed to send to him, and" two 'days after receipt of them he had bolted. The band Is described as having been especially energetic along the Riviera, and as having managed to Br

I the connection oi alcohol and tuberculosis. Dr. Bertillon says that of the causes which in France favor the development of tuberculosis the most Important Is the alcohol In beer and spirits. He declares, however, that the best enemy of tuberculosis is wine. In tbe twenty-eight departments which form the northern part of France cider, beer, spirits especially .. brandy are much drunk. The deaths caused by consumption were 230 per 100,0t inhabitants tn 100G while the proportion was 140 In the other departments of France where wine Is the favorite drink. : After the age of thirty, he says, consumption is twice or three times more frequent among men than women, undoubtedly because' tbe drinking of alcohol is more common with the former than with the latter.
