It isn't a bit fair to the President to speak of him as We never had a franker man in American politics. In the campaign which resulted in bis election his aiiitude toward organized labor proved this, lie was under a terrible temptation to evade or miuiiiii.e the significance of his decision from the bench, lie was under a terrible temptation to read into the parly platform pledges which! the party had refused to make. He could have got more votes by doing so. Ho stood by his guns.

In not one of his speeches Is there a suggestion of quibbling. His hatred of the boycott was not veiled. He went into the White House unhampered by any Indirections in Ihe political campaign. His tight for an amendment to the Constitution authorizing the imposition of an Income tax; his fight for the Federal supervision of all corporations; his fight for the extension the government control of railroads, "have all been made In the open, defended In public addresses, explained to senators and representatives, and to interests affected, In conferences at the "White House. Nevertheless, Dr.

Rutld's suggestion of a capable press agent is worthy of consideration. Not the "secretive-uess" of the President, hut his frankness makes the suggestion worth while. Frankness is a most fertile source of misunderstandings. Unions Do Not Overawe Philadelphia Organized labor hopes to bring the Philadelphia Rapid Transit Company to terms by imposing a boycott upon every storekeeper who sells supplies either directly to the company itself or to any of its employes. To escape the penalty which labor thus proposes to inflict a tradesman Is supposed first to ascertain the identity of every customer with whom he deals, and.

secondly, to assure himself that the customer is not an employe of the transit company. The impossibility of doing this in a city the size of Philadelphia has no weight with the strikers. With tlieiu the boycott, like the brick, is a weapon to be used without regard to I the rights of the imlivklualMt' happens to he aimed at. Labor is evidently in desperate straits in Philadelphia. The boycott order hns the appearance, of a last resource.

The sympathetic strike from which so much was expected Is not producing the public sentiment, fn favor of the strikers that the Central Labor Union hoped for when It was ordered. The attitude of the city officials has demonstrated to the labor leaders the danger to themselves and their sympathizers of lawless outbreaks such as characterized the earlier periods of the strike. The knowledge that state troops are ready for service in Philadelphia should they be required Is also tending to keep disorder in check. Altogether the situation Is such as to justify the hope that the Issue raised by the unions will be carried through to a finish without further resort to violence. The strength of organized labor in this case may be fairly determined only if the mob spirit is held in restraint.

The unions claim to be able to paralyze the business of the entire city. So far they have not made good that claim. "We doubt they can make it good unless a free hand is given to the rioters and incendiaries who have terrorized, ostensibly without the sanction of the unions, but always iu their interest and without reproof from them. The issue raised by labor, If legitimately contested, will, we suspect, show that labor is not nearly so strong a force when confined to the lawful exercise of its power as its agents iu Philadelphia and elsewhere would have the country believe. Sewage In the Harbor.

The Metropolitan Sewerage Commission, constituted in 1900, the members of which are George A. Soper. James H. Fuertes, H. Parsons, Charles Soo.vsnillh jind Linsley Williams, lias addressed a letter to the Mayor, anticipatory of its report to be made next month.

This commission was charged with the duty of determining the sewage conditions in and around New York, If anything should be done to remedy tlieni, and. if so. to make the recommendation. The Commission- lias found the conditions le be very. It has found and, witii commendable courage, doc's not hesitate to say that the Pnssaie Itivor, tlie RaliW-tiJ-'Wivcr." the Bronx River, (iownnus and Newtown 'creeks and the Hiirlem" River, have' become little less than open sewer.

It declares that bathing in the New York Harbor above the Narrows is positively dangerous, and I lie oyster beds within the city limits are to be looked upon with suspicion. Some settled notions are overturned. The idea, belief in which is widely prevalent, that thorp is purification in large bodies of water and their-actions, isputout of court in the showing that in the increase of the discharge, into the -waters of the harbor, of polluted matter, the point is reached when the waters cannot digest it. eighty (onimiinlties empty their waste into )he harbor of the city. An outgoing tide cannot clean the waters in a day, aud au Incoming tide carries mucli permanent K)liuion.

A mailer more itu- portant to the general healih has not been presented for the consideration of our authorities. Caruso Still Alive. Owing to a marvelous display of police energy the flying trip to Brooklyn of Signer Eurico Caruso has been made without the loss of drop of tin- tenor's red blood. Caruso has come; and seen and conquered, and escaped. He still lives.

In a few weeks the police will begin to let hi in pursue the even tenor of his way. At any rate, there will be fewer apprehensions when he comes to Urooklyn again. The Eagle has no doubt that lower rniiin street' Sicilians, and the Nea-pollians of the Sixtieth street colony, and the scattered Lombards mid Milanese of the Fifth Ward were represented in Ihe Academy of Music. All Italians do not admire Caruso, but not one of his compatriots fails to reverence Caruso's voice. And Italians know as well as love music.

But thosn allegcd Black Hauders against whom all the police prevision has been made did not show up. Maybe they were cowed by the protecting sleuths. Maybe they never thought of We are Informed that there arc not enough policemen on the force to give lirooklyn adequate protection against burglars. Perhaps a part of the Caruso bodyguard may be available when the opera season Is over. The New City Bond Issue, The $50,000,000 of fifty-year bonds, shortly to lie offered to the In' vesting public, will beartlie interest rate of 4'4 pur cent.

Last week when the Sinking Fund members were delisting the rate, the Eagle advised them that It was the buyer and not the seller that really fixed the interest rate, and that their problem would be wisely solved when it was solved In recognition of that fact. It required but little investigation to discover that bonds of the city bearing a 4 per cent, rate were a drug on the market. If investors would not buy the old 4 per cents, even at a discount, it was folly to suppose that they would appear at a new sale of 4 per ceuts. It was, therefore, apparent that the bond dealers would not be present offering a premium with their bids. As the city cannot offer bonds at a discount, under the law, such bond dealers were not likely to be present at all, whereupon the city would be, by a failure to "accept its offering.

'The problem has been solved nod as the Eagle advised. The rate of interest will be 4'i per cent. That Is the difference between failure and success. While all this Is very plain yet the authorities seem to feel that an excuse ought to be given for tin advanced rate, and we are told it Is fixed in view of the condition imposed in the clause that the city has the right to redeem the bonds at the end of twenty years. As an excuse this is unnecessary.

The sale of government bonds is purely a commercial proposition. In these days they come into competition with the offers of industrial corporations which are safe and sound, and which are quite as attractive. Hence they are subject to prevailing market conditions. That Is all there Is of the question. The Human Shakspeare.

Thanks to the patient research of Professor Wallace of the University of Nebraska, we are no longer left to the Internal evidence of the plays and sonnets for our knowledge of Shakspeare as a very human man among men. For eight or nine year Professor Wallace and his wife have dug in tlie Public Records Office in London, among the documents of Shnkspeare's time, for some trace of him and bis activities in London. For nil that labor they have so far unearthed the correct location of the old Globe Theater, establishing the fnct that tlio commonly accepted site is not correct, and now have revealed the record of a lawsuit in which Shakspeare appeared as a witness. The lawsuit was brought against one Mounljoy. a head-dress maker, by bis son-in-law, and the record sliows that Shakspeare lived in the Mountjoy family for several years, during which lie must have written several of his greatest plays, 'among them "Henry ''Much Ado About Nothing." "As You Like It." "Twelfth Night" and "Hamlet.

But it is the human rather than the literary side of the record. I preserved on those patched old skins i for almost three hundred venrs. which interests us. Bcllott, the apprentice to Mountjoy. fell In love with his employer's daughter, but lacked the spunk to marry her.

The girl's mother! wanted to bring on the match and she employed Shakspeare who would per- haps be described in the language of a contemporary police court as her "star boarder" to help It along. A dowry of 50 the equivalent of several thousand dollars of our money to-day was offered by Shakspeare as Lite agent of the parents to the bridegroom, and the marriage was made on that Later, the son-ln-Iaw came to think that he had not received all that had been promised by the poet and others, so he brought suit. Iu that suit Shakspeare made deposition to the terms of the agreement, and various witnesses testified to having talked the matter over with Shakspeare and to their understanding of the case gained thereby. Thus we have the author of "Romeo and Juliet" posing ns the master of ceremonies for a pair of very ordinary.everyday young lovers and gossiping over the romance with his neighbors, quite as If he had Eagle Bureau, 60S Fourteenth Street. Washington.

March 8 The views of members of Cungress differ as to what is a proper salary fur a government chauffeur. The other iT-ay ihe House spent an hour wrangling over a provision in the past office appropriation oil! authorizing the hiring of fin automobile to collect nwil in Washington ai a cost ot J3.0HO a year. It. wan. shown that in I -Nw York a two-horse wagon ser- vice Is maintained at an annual cost of $1,320.

Mr, Campbell That is cheaper than you get-. a pair of Missouri mules for. JtrJ Hamlin One Missouri mule is worth half a dozen of the gasoline runabouts, Mr. Campbell They sold one there yesterday for $3,000. Mr.

Weeks Mr. Cbrtlrman, I notice that when a Missouri man makes an untenable proposition he always drags in a mule to becloud the issue. Mr. Hamlin But. nothing would upset the argument on that side of the House but a mule.

Representative Halvor Steenerson of Minnesota, who is demanding on investigation of the stories of bribery and scandal In connection with ship subsidy legislation, is one of the odd-looking characters ot the House, He is close on to seven feet tall and built in proportion, He is a great, shaggy-looking Scandinavian. When he rises to talk, you expect him to make the rafters ring wllh the voice ot a Roman Senator. Instead, he pipes up in a weak, effeminate treble. SteenerBon is the only white member of the Chippewa Indian Tribe. The members of this band have a good deal of legislation pending at Washington, and Mr.

undertook get it through. He introduced a lot of bills for the Indians, and in appreciation of his efforts they formally took him into their tribe. Mr. Steenerson had a famous run-in with Roosevelt. He went to- the White House two or three years ago and was interviewed by'tho President on a pending Roosevelt measure.

The President talked to Steenerson in words of one syllable. Steenerson went away angry. He began to tell a story of his version of the affair. It did not suit Mr. Roosevelt and the latter sent for Steenerson.

ln words of the street, Mr. Roosevelt mado Steenerson eat his words. John H. Bowie of the Bureau of Soils, Department of Agriculture, has been flooded with letters asking for further information about agriculture in Greater New York. These letters were prompted by the article in Sunday's Eagle telling of the big farm crops within the corporate limits of Greater New York.

When the next census is taken, the area of farm lauds in Greater New York doubtless will be much greater than at the time of the last census, if the interest shown in the subject just now may be taken as a guide. Congress has acceded to the request of Secretary MacVeagh for authority to employ a man whose sole duty it. shall be to sign the signature, of the Secretary of the Treasury. Jlr. MacVeagh rebelled' at this manual labor.

Other secretaries had done the same thing, but without avail. Mr. MacVeagh believes that the head of the Treasury should spepd his time thinking about keeping the government out of debt I and other big subjects rather than signing his name to routine vouchers. that Congress has authorized some one to do this work for him, Mr. MacVeagh will be able to devote himself exclusively to the puzzle of finance.

His name will he signed by John Kiely. Mr. Klely is well (lunliYied for this duty. CRIST. KISS S.

M. MORTON, PAINTER. Portraits and Local Out-of-TJoors Work at Her Sutdio. In her studio in the Lincoln Square Arcade Building. Broadway, near Sixty-fifth street.

Manhattan, Miss S. Mary Norton has an exhibition of her skill In portrait painting, and also many landscapes and sketches that show what a real artist can find of Interest, both In subject and treatment, in the neighborhood of the Greater New York. One of her last works in portraiture Is that of Don C. Seltz, business mnnager of the New York World, and long a resident of Brooklyn. It shows his Intent, kindly and yet firm gaze at the visitor, while the modeling is strong and the flesh tints singularly lifelike.

A nearly full length portrait ot Nlxola Greelev Smith, the writer, a grand-daughter ot Horace Greeley, has been painted with delicate harmontes of color. Tho subject stands in front of a decorated screen, and the dark hair and dark eyes of the subject form a gentle and fascinating charm to the portrait, an emphasis, perhaps, needed in the soft color harmonies. Other portraits serve well to indicate tha individuality of Miss Norton and her way of Inevitably seizing the most characteristic facts in her sitters. She evident ly has by nature the painter's vision. Of late.

She shows, in iustlftcition, a wonderfully atmospheric.

It adopted a money plank intended to be the platform of Mr. McKinley, who was then Governor, should he he nominated for President in the Republican National Convention to meet in St. Louis on the Kith of June. The platform of the Ohio Stale Convention on that 11th of JJarob on the money question was in these words: We contend for honest money; tor a currency of gold, silver and paper -with which to measure our exchanges that shall be as Bound as the government and as untarnished as Its honor, and to this 'end we favor bimetalism, and demand the use of both gold and silver as standard money, either irt accordance with a ratio to be fixed by an international agreement, if it can be obtained, or under such restrictions and such provisions, to be determined by legislation, as will secure the maintenance of the parities ot value ot the two metals so that the purchasing and debt-paying Tower of the dollar, whether ot silver, fioi or paper, shall be at all times equal. The National Convention met in St.

Louis on June 16, 1896, as stated, and the money plank of the National Convention was in these words: The Republican party Is unreservedly 'for Sound Money. It caused the enactment of the law providing for the resumption of specie payment in 1879; since then, every dollar has been as good as gold. We are unalterably opposed to every measure calculated to debase our currency or impair the credit of our country. We are, therefore, opposed to the 'free eoirfage ot silver, except by international agreement with the leading commercial nations of the world, which we pledge ourselves to promote, and until fciieh an agreement can be obtained, the existing gold Btandard must be preserved. All our silver and paper currency must be maintained at parity with gold, and we favor all measures designed to maintain inviolably the obligations of the Fill ted States and all our money, whether coin or paper, at the present standard, the standard of the most enlightened nations of the earth.

i' That the St. Louis platform was a reiteration of the Ohio State platform, a little more expanded and a little tiffer in its slant toward "honest noney," is plain. It will be seen that he St. Louis money plank and the convention money plank were virtually the same, merely with a difference of verbal flourishes. Sinca he death of Mr.

Piatt, the declara'r ion has been made that he was really the author or the inspirer of the money plank in the St. Louis platform. "William. McKinley and ilitrk ilanna were the authors of the plank tfi the Ohio State platform in March, 18S6. H.

H. Kohlsaat of Chicago was tbe' medium of telegraphic or telephonic communication between Hanna 4 St, Louis. McKinley in Canton, Ohio, and "WTiitelaw Held In New York, durinpr the St. Louis convention, and It is believed that 'WTiitelaw Reld, by telephone, made the verbal additions for St. Louis to the money plank 4it the Ohio state platform, as finally issued In St.

AROUND THE GALLERIES. Horatio "Walker's Canadian Scenes in Oil and Water Color at Macbetli's. Among Ihe rolleclion of paintings by Horatio Walker now on viw nt the Montross gallery are several which might justify the resemblance to Millet so many ot his admirers have been wont tn discover in his work. Only one picture has been previously seen, the "Ploughing The First Gleam," remembered at Ihe St. Louts Exposition, where it was awarded a gold medal.

It is gratifying to see this painting again, and to find after bo many years that it. possesses the same power to stir the Imagination and quicken the pulse as at. first. The "Milkyard," painted about the same time, has much the same quality. The peculiarly luminous envelope of golden color belongs to the pictures of this period, a quality missed in the more recent ones, but in all of the series the impression is given of the wonderful, somber silence of the Canadian woods.

Horatio Walker's peasanls are like Millet's peasants in that they personify the tragedy of human labor. Unliko tho Barbizon laborers, however, these people depicted by the American maBter, working in the fields, hauling logs through the great forests or resting in the farmyards, are alien-They are French-Canadians, living within sight of Quebec on an island in tho St. Lawrence River, a simple type keeping to the manners and primitive farming methods of their peasant ancestry. "A Summer Pastoral," loaned by J. J.

Albright, painted in 1906, has a depth of poetic sentiment, a charm in the ex pression of a mood of Nature, often felt in great music but rarely expressed in painting, it is old-fashioned to love the story-telling picture, hut tho jiictures of Horatio Walker tell more than a' story, they expound a truth; there is an underlying idea in each one, and it is, as a rule, quite well worth searching for. Two canvases have very recently come from the island studio, the "Man Felling a Tree" and "A Frosty Morning." loaned by William A. Rogers. The impression given in both of these, in spite of over-fresh medium and glaring frames, is the conviction of tho artist's intense sincerity and fidelity to nature, which is, no doubt, largely due to his life of complete isolation and aloofness from fellow craftsmen About one halt the paintings shown are in water-color, a medium In which Mr. Walker is a past master.

Tho direct, free technique with no pulling together of over-painting, just here and there the body color used to accentuate solidity of form. Is masterly. "The Boy Harrowing," loaned by A. T. Sanden, discloses the strong draughtmanship which underlies all this artist's work, the old farmhouse pulling the harrow is a good character study, and there Is also forceful execution in the drawing of the apple tree and the straining figure of the boy.

Those who remember seeing the collection of pencil drawings by Mr. Walker, shown at the former Montross gallery several years ago. recollect the remarkable knowledge aud penetration expressed ln the few lines and the accuracy of detail in them. These recent water colors demonstrate the strength of this fundamental quality admirably. In the a charming conception of youth In nature, aud In the idyllic "Morning," a mauve like landscape, showing in the pathway between silvery-toned poplars the seated figure of a girl, her red cap and blue gown crisp in color against, the white body of the cow she is milking, the same poetic quality and strong drawing Is seen.

Mr. Walker Is always artistic, and in choosing sometimes the most repulsive subjects, as in the or depicting the ugliest, mood of nature, the abstract beauty is brought out, and accentuated in his interpretation of the scene so as to make it. seem the most beautiful work of nature. At. the Katz galleries, 308 Columbus avenue.

Elsie Southwick shows remarkably good portrait, sketches showing ability in portraying character and life. Miss Southwick also shows skill in her miniatures, but more in technique than in display of character; she has evidently a promising career before her. In the same galleries John F. Carlson shows free handling in brush work in several and evinces a real love of out-of-doors and poetic insight. In "Wayside and "The Brook" he is clever, in producing snow effects, while in "In the Trail of the Storm." with Its drifting clouds across a side of a mountain; in "First Beam," a touch of warm glow on the top of a distant hill in a cold landscape; in the moonlight effect, in "Fairy in the lonely "Deserted Fnrm," in "Singing Breezes," "Gray Woods" and "Silent Stream," tho artist, dhows versatility and ability.

The exhibition closes on March 12. At Gim-pel and Wtldenstein's. 636 Fifth avenue. Manhattan. Michael MeKey, who conies from Wisconsin, by way of continental studies, shows individuality in-style and excellent tone in portraits of Mrs.

The artist has evidently studied deeply and long the characteristics of these heroines anil, beside good technique, he has succeeded In producing quite a gallery of differing types of women, with their idiosyncrasies in facial expression as well as in tlie decorative treatment.
