TH0R01 GBUti 68 DEMANDED.
Th?? recommendations of the State
Fa?'tory Investigation Commission which
was appointe?! as the result of the Ascii
Building tir?? will soon I,., before the pub?
lic, unless the ?late for its report is ex?
tended beyond February 11 by the IyCgis
lature. The commission has taken a
great deal of testimony on the subject of
fire protection aud has had the benefit
of much expert advice. It began it?
work amid irreat expectations and under
th? stimulus of a strong popular demand
that such a honor as that which oc?
curred in Washington Place should be
made impossible henceforth, in the
months which have followed public feel
lug has calmed down and time has some?
what blunted the sense of that horror,
but the great body of the people of New
Tork, workers and property owners
alike, we believe, are as firm as ever in
their desire to nee thoroughgoing m?th?
ode takes for the safeguarding of fac?
tory workers and are ready to support
snd insist upon the enactment of sound
and well considered measures to that
end.
Of course the commission must keep
Its recommendations within the limits of
what, is physically and economically pos
slbie. It cannot provide ideal conditions
soy more than a tenement house com?
mission can. It might wish that all man?
ufacturing should be conducted in build?
ings open on all sides and limited lo one,
two or throe stories, but such require?
ments would simply drive industries
away fruta this state and leave its popu?
lation in want No one, of course, pro
?poses any such extreme measure, but
the principle must bo consldere<l in deter?
mining what more moderate require
ments shall be made. Within the limits
of reasoq, however, the commission
should have no hesitation about propos?
ing tbonmgb and even radical measures.
It cannot Insure workers against panic
and possible fatality. Panic can occur
in an oj?en field. Rut It can do away
with conditions which invite fire and
panic and make it reasonably certain
that In case of trouble in a factory tbe
workers will have a fair chance of ?as
cape. It is notorious that in thousands
of buildings to-day they do not have that
chance.
The suggestions lhAt the number of
workers in a factory shall be strirtly
prop??rtionate to the facilities for egress
and that on each floor of a manufactory
shall be a place protected hy fire walls
large enough to give refuge to the per?
sons there employed are well worth seri?
ous consideration. So also is the sug
fMtion that In shops where inflammable
materials are handled sprinkling sys?
tems be required. It should be possible
to devise measures along these lines
which would give a substantial guaran?
tee of safety to workers without so bur?
dening properly owners as to hamper in?
dustry. Anything less than that meas?
ure of reform would fall short of the
rightful demands of the public aud also
of its hopeful expectation from a com?
mission whose appointment was consid?
ered a certain forerunner of safety in
industrial establishments.

Senator Cummins'? announcement that
Ii?. will no longer oppose the desire of
his followers in Iowa t<? present his
name ;?s i candidat? for the Republican
Presidential nomination necessitates a
reconsideration of who's who and wliat's
what in Progressive politics. Kvident
ly Um Progressive movement has
"progressed*1 far beyond the capacity <>t
tlie polltlclaal directing it t<? determine
"where they are at." Only a few
months gfO I solemn assemblage, de?
scribed by its promoters as a Progros
sive Republican national conference,
met in Chicago and declared that the
lion. Roberl M. Li Follette was the rising
imp?- toward whom the whole Insurgen!
movement turned, ft promised him
united support In his candidacy for the
Republican nomination and conveyed to
liim the assurance that the Progressif?
forces would follow bim unfalteringly
Into the imminent deadly bre.-ich <>r
Wherever else his quest of factional
and party leadership should carry him.
S?> far as they could bind themselves
t<? anything, the delegates to the Chicago
conference, claiming to represent Insur?
gent sentiment everywhere, took upon
iheniselves -i ni??ral Obligation to work
Unceasingly and loyally for Mr. I.a Toi?
lette's nomination.
Yet the ink was hardly dry upon those
pledge? when some of these same poll
ticiaiis began to cast anchors to wind?
ward. Ths OWo Progressive League; at
a mceti.ig at Which many leading spirits
in the Chicago conference were present.
ndopted a resolution annulling the I.a
Follette indorseni??nt ami declaring It?
self free t?> support sny other candidate,
though salving the stab by expressing a
continuing belief in th.- Wisconsin Bens
tor's availability. SOW the Iowa con?
tingent has decided to recall its promises
of support, for it ?-- evident thai Mr.
Cummins would not have announced his
candidacy bad the way not already been
cleared for it in his home state.
It may be that the Ohio and Iowa Pro?
gressives think that what a national
Il-oere-sive conference did in 1011 need
not be taken lerlously in 1012. Mr. ?'uni
mins says that **the situation has mate?
rially changed" and that consequently it
is time for ji new deal. Yet the puhli?.
Which is asked to condone this hasty
repudiation ?if last year's political debts,
can see no change in the situation suffi?
cient to warrant wiping the 1011 slate
clean. The insurgent movement in Con
gii-ss attained considerable momentum
in 1 f?1 ?> becsnsa it seemed to bare some
stability of political conviction behind
it. But its moral 1nfluen?*e shrivelled
when 1he fight on the ?'anadian reci?
procity agreement showed that the in
rargents were not willing to practise
what they preached. On th* first test
to which their breadth of vision and
disinterestedness were put they petered
out. The Ohio secesHon and the Cum?
mins ????ndidary are only further evi?
dences of the lack of oonsisten??y and
moral Obre from which the Progressive
movement has suffered. It has now de?
generated into a mere vehicle for ex?
ploiting the ambitions of self seeking
politicians. Mr. I.a Follette is to be
commiserated with if he ever took the
coddling assur?mes of the Progressive
conference lust October,a?. anything but
promises mude to the ear and intended,
whenever convenient, to be broken to
the hope.

The occurrence at the City Farm Col?
ony on Staten Island, where a helpless
paralytic patient, died after being scalded
in a hath, as made known to the public
and to the city and county officials In th<>
columns of The Tribune, was bad enough
to bring grave discredit upon the man
ggemsnl of the institution concerned ami
to call for the severe punishment of those
responsible for the outrage. As soon ?is
the case was thus brought to his atten?
tion. District Attorney Fad) of Richmond
County took energetic measures, in sharp
contrast with other official neglect. He
has secured three indictment? for man?
slaughter and advised the grand jury in
an investigation of the institution, re?
sulting in a presentment which shows
that the scalding was the natural result
of conditions prevailing at the colony.
Briefly stated, the institution contain*
about 1,100 persons, chiefly aged, about
one-fourth of whom are suffering from
distressing and sometimes dangerou?
mental and physical diseases, all of
whom are permitted to intermingle, with
entirely inadequate supervision from
physicians and nurses and in part under
the care and control of imprisoned va?
grants and ex-convicts of vicious pro?
pensities. That simple statement suffi?
ciently indicts the conditions which exist
there ?is criminal.
That does not meAn that the head of
the institution is culpable. The present?
ment explicitly acquits him of blame.
He is a victim of the evil conditions
which are imposed upon him. The fault
is said to lie chiefly In the benighted and
barbarous Fystem of committing all sorts
and conditions of persons, Innocent and
criminal, sick and well, sane and insane,
to the same institution, without discrimi?
nation or segregation, and then falling to
provide means for anything like decent
care and supervision of them.
Such a system naturally?we might
say Inevitably- produces such conditions,
and such conditions logically culmlnalo
in such occurrences as the brutality The
Tribune's exposure of which has led to
the much needed investigation Into the
conduct of the colony, and will, it is to be
hoped, further eompci the radical reform
which common humanity and decency, as
well as the good name of the city and
state, Imperatively demand.
.4 VoTW POLITICAL CALENDAR,
The new Henry resolution, submitting
constitutional amendments intended to
revise the federal political calendar. Is
more thoroughgoing than the one which
failed In th? House of Representatives
in the last Congress by a ulngle vote.
Heretofore attention has been centred
chiefly ou getting rid of March 4 as
Inauguration Day. Pushing forward the
date of the beginning and ending of the
Presidential term and of the terms of
Senators and Representatives from
Mar?*h 4 to the last Thursday in April
would have done away with the incon?
veniences of a winter inauguration cere?
mony aud would also have added eight
much needed weeks to tho now cramped
short session.
That was as far as the calendar re
forms went originally. But although
they constitute s distinct improvement
on existing arrangements they involved
a lengthening of the life of a hold-over
Congress, thus accentuating the defect
In our present system of too long an in?
terval between the time when a new
Congress' Is chosen and the time when it
begins its luglslatlve activities. Ordi
narily a Congress elected one November
does not meet until December of the
year following, and In reforming the cal?
endar it would have been an oversight
to allow that awkward arrangement to
continue unchallenged.
Washington dispatches say that the
new plan eliminates the hold-over session
entirely, makes the terms of Repre?
sentatives and Senators begin ami end
on the second Tuesday in January fol?
lowing their election and provides for
an annual session beginning on that
date. The terms of the President and
Vice-Presidenl are t<? begin S?d end <>n
the last Thursday in April, so that a
Congress elected in a Presidential year
would organise f?air months before the
President was Inaugurated, and in ease
of a desdloch in the Electoral College 8
new House of Representatives would
choose a ITcsident instead <>f a bold-over
oil??. That seems to be oil the whole a
reasonable provision. Inasmuch as the
choice would represent a much more re?
cent expression <?f l he popular will.
If the calendar is to be altered it
ought to be altered to the best possible
advantage ami all at once instead of by
instalments. Mr. Henry's plan lias the
unanimous -support of the Judiciary
Committee of UM House. It deserves
the country's serious consideration.

The final disposition by 009*1*001
Dlx's Civil Service Cofnmlasion of the
matter of elghl supervising factory in?
spector0, which has been pending sln?*e
July of last year, must be eminently
satisfactory t<? all those who believe that
half a loaf is better than no bread. It
Is bound to command the heartiest ap?
proval of all those who realize that the
only sstisfactory way to settle contro?
versies <?f principle is to split the dif?
ference, in -hort. it will inevitably ad?
vance the standing of Uorernor Dig ami
his commission with every member *?f
th?- community who attempts to cany
water on both shoulders.
Last July Governor Dix signed ?' bill
creating eicht new places in the factory
Inspection bureau of the Labor Depart?
ment, at a salary of $2~**i each. The
officers were to be known as supervising
faet?n Inspectora It was the l?lea cf
the U'alnwrighl commission, which rec
ommended the legislation, that th<?se su?
pervising inspector? should i>" persons
of sufficient technical kn??wlod2*o, expeii
ence and attainments to reorganise the
factory inspection of the state. The>
should have constructive minds and be
able t?? hiindle thrir work on a broader
basis than a question of mere gnforre
ment of details of the law. Mich as en
taeec the attention of tbe ordinary fse
tory Inaper UMTS. For that (OaSOn their
compensation uns made hirge, ns the
slste re'kons such matter*-. Immediately
labor unions and Job-hungry politicians
undertook to grab these places. On Jnl\
'_'7 the civil Service Commission listed
them in the exempt classification, which
placed them at the mercy of the spoils
men. Organizations Interested In proper
enforcement of the labor laws and pro
te? lion of the workers of the state pro?
tested that the only way to obtain fit
men was by competition, not by appoint?
ment through favoritism, either f??r labor
unionists or political bosses. In Octohcr
a rehearing of th?? case was ordered be?
cause of these protests. In November
(?overnor Dix wrote to the Civil Service
Reform Association explicitly promising
that the places would be put Into th.
competitive class. Finally the Dix com?
mission has put four of them into the
exempt class ami four Into tin? competi?
tive.
Credit for this happy solution of th?
problem, with its clear thinking and In?
exorable logic, undoubtedly must be
given primarily to Covernor Dix. essen?
tially a man of peace. It will please
alike those who wanted the jobs for the
salary attached and th<?se who h"ped t'?
see them made Instrumentalities for
safeguarding the lives and ht?alth of the
toilers In factory and mill. If Is con?
vincing testimony to the ability of the
Dix commission to see both SldCS <?f I
question?and act on them simultane?
ously.

The earnest ?lesir?. of the YufcOS rep?
resentative in the Canadian Parliament
for a Seaport for his territory is Basil]
understood and Is not without Its ap?
peal to sympathy. It Is a hard tiling for
a country, particularly for one which Is
growing, to be shut up inland, or to
have access to the sea only through
ports Which for much of the year *tt
icebound. Russia, for example, has for
several generations l?oen Suffering pre?
cisely such a grievance, so that much of
her diplomacy and most of her political
and military aggressions have been ?11
ri'ded toward securing an outlet upon
warm sens. The Transvaal republic, in
the days of Its nominal Ind?pendance,
bad the same complaint, on account of
which it made persistent efforts to ac?
quire Delagoa Bay. There are other ex?
amples to the same effect.
In the case of the Yukon there Is not
complete occlusion, any more than In
that of Manitoba or Saskatchewan. If
we pas? by the frontage on the Arctic
Ocean as practically valueless, we must
still remember that the Yukon is one of
the members of the Dominion, and that
an adjacent member ?loes have u fin?
ocean frontage. The Yukon can there?
fore have accejs to the sea without
crossing alien territory or dependence
upon an alien port. Its grievance is not
that It Is entirely shut In from the sea.
but that It can reach the sea only by n
somewhat roundabout route. That Is. of
course, a hardship. Rut so It Is a hard?
ship for Manitoba to be away Inland.
It Is | hardship imposed upon it by natu?
ral conditions, In which there Is no mal?
ice or oppression.
Xo doubt the Yukon's feeling of hard?
ship Is accentuated by the fact that It
Is debarred from direct access to the sea
by a comparatively narrow strip of
American territory, to wit, the "Pan
Handle" of Alaska. A short cut ?if i
score of miles would save a roundabout
Journey of hundreds. That Is quite true.
But then the Alaskan "Pan-Handle" is
American Just as certainly as the Yukon
is Canadian, and the Yukon has no more
title to claim a port on the Lynn Canal
than Alaska has to claim a slice of the
Yukon. It was settled some years ago
that the whole coast Is ours from the
Arctic Sea down to historic 54-40. As
to the suggestion of the sale or exchange
of a section of the "Pan-Handle" to Can?
ada it will not appeal favorably to the
American people. This nation is not In
the land selling business, and even If it
were It would hcbitate long before dis?
pctilng of a piece which would cut its
own Alaskan territory in two.
There really does not seem to be any
good reason, however, why the Yukon
should not enjoy the use of a fine har?
bor on the always open Pacific, at Lynn
Canal or elsewhere, under the American
flag. This country will be glad to afford
It all possible facilities for Its growing
commerce. For many years one of the
chief Canadian railroads hss made it?
winter terminal at a New England pott,
with much profit and convenience and
without any unpleasant complications.
The Yukon'migbt similarly seek a short
???it to the o?ean across the Alaskan
'Tan-Handle" while the latter Is. as it
doubtless always will be. tinder the
American flag.
If the published accounts of it are
correct. It would seem difficult to de?
scribe the automobile Incident, of Friday
evening on West End avenue as anything
less than peculiarly brutal manslaughter.

THE "CORNFIELD ROUTE"
Mayor's Characterisation of Queens

To the MltOf of Th? Tribune.

??aynor's "cuirifl?-l?l'' outbreak. It ?ay?: "It
Is just such obstruction ag hin to rapid
transit development thai ha? kept Queens

As a matter of fact, the remark? of the
Mayor simply confirm the logic of Othello:
Trifles llaht as air
Aie ?*> ?lie Jealous confirmations strong
As proofs of holy writ.
Th? people of Queens ate Interested very
little In the temperamentsl frailties and ln
flrmltle? of the Mayor iih a rule, hut when
those ldloayncraalea take the form of gra
tultoua vilification of the borough, tend to
depreciate th* valu? of property that the

Pmlt of endurance, it get? upon our nerve?.
It appear? to us that a "cornfield" bor?

territory that tn the last analysis the city

to slur? and reproach from the man It*
votes helped to ele?t and whose repr?sen?
tativ? he la supposed to be, but to fair, de?

It Is In exceedingly bad taste for th?
Mayor to reiterate continuously his old an?
imosity for certain Interests In Queens by
r.-.-alllng old scandals of his lOaynor'm
youth und hamp*rlng the effort? of men
like Treatdent Connolly and others, who.
Irrespective of political affiliations, are
striving manfully to producs clean, busi?
nesslike conditions throughout the borough.
This point is strengthened by the fact thai
Queens has paid Into the treasury of the
greater olty in the last four years close to
J2n.noo.000, and has had expended upon it in
return less than half that sum. all told.
We of Queens do n??t ask for charity In
this subway matter. All we ask is honest
dealing and decent treatment?not to have
Insult added to Injury. We have paid for
this improvement. As President Connolly
stated in the board meeting of Thursday:
"Queens has been taxed for transit; we are
entitled to transit, and we want It."

USELESS OPERA SEATS.
To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Is It not contrary to the rules of the
N'< w York Fire Department to allow crowd?
ing in the aleles of theatres and other
rlaces of amui-cments? If so, there wan a
most flagrant disobedience of this regula?
tion on Saturday afternoon last In the Met?
ropolitan Opera House, when "The Girl
of the OeMsa West" was presented.
Our ?eats were In the dress ein le on the
right hand side, from where, obviously,
there was a limited view of the sta?e. But
even this one-Bided glimpse was entirely
eclipsed by the behavior of those In front
of us Not only did many of the? aeat
holders stand in their places during most
of the performance, but those persons,
mostly women, who had paid for admission
tickets only, crowded Into the aisle? be?
tween the ranges of seats and along the
exit gangways, completely blocking en?
trance or exit, and formed a barrier between
m athnlders in the r?ar and the staxe.
The ushers were appealed to. but after one
Ineffectual attempt to clear the aisles and
make soatholders *tt down gave up the
att.-mpt
Such abune of theatre rights as well a?
personal dlSOOUrtgsy and lack of considera?
tion for others should be brought to the at?
tention of the opera house management
arid the long suffering public. B. F.
