Memphis Avalanche correspondent
writing from Washington. The writer
Says in support OF his assertion:
1T is not merely the private sccrc
tnrics who work long hours. The
members OF the cabinet themselves
do so. Tnkc a walk pust the resi-.
denccs OF any Of the cabinet officers,
and you are liable to sec the lights in
their studies burning until midnight.
They have their desks in their houses
and work there at all hours. The
President puts in long hours. lIu is
an early riser, and it is no uncommon
thing to know that lo is closctcd with
some member oil the cabinet, or Col.
Lamont, until midnight, or later,
hard at work. Take II walk past he
treasury any night. and you will sec
large numbers OF the rooms lighted ny
and employees at work cntchins M
with the work OF the office. Only the
other day heard an cmployc in ono
OF the divisions of the treasury say to
one OF his icllow-clcrks: "I will be
down to the office at s o'clock to-
morrow, TO help get that work up"
There are lots OF them who take their
work to their homes with them. This
is especially the case with the profess
sion III the scientific resumes. They
take a personal interest in their work,
and as the appropriation made for
it is small, they generally are willing
to give good deal OF time to it even
at rllicnlously small salaries. From
my window, where sit writing this
letter, look directly upon the Win
dow OF one OF those scientific gentle
man. can almost always see II light
in his study until midnight or there
ubouts, sometimes much later. He
does it for the love OF the work, and
because he cannot bear to see i, neg.
lertel. Watch any OF the cabinet
officers as they 90 home, and you will
see that they take bundles OF work
with them, to be disposed OF at homo
during the evening.
