A NADER set of clerks was never
known in Washington than those in the
Departments of War and Justice. For
generations it has been the custom
when anybody died who had ever been
in the Cabinet to close the department
over which he had presided on the day
Of the funeral. It made no difference
who it was Except in the case of JEFF
Davis) or how long his name had been
forgotten, the department had to be
draped and the clerks give.i holiday.
The custom has been suddenly abol-
ished 10y the common sense action of
Secretary Proctor and Attorney Cen
eral Miller. When Alphonso Taft died
the other day the departments of War
AID Justice Of course saw holiday
ahead and prepared for 1t. Mr.. Taft
had been both Secretary OF War and
Attorney General. Mr.. Proctor and
Mr.. Miller both thought that as to fol-
low the old costum would stop the pub
lie business in two departments it would
be good time to burst tradition, and
they did it. Except among the clerks
the action of the two is universally ap.
proved. The ice thus broken, there
will be no more funeral holidays except
when Cabinet officials die in office or
when the diseased shall have had at
tanned such distinction in public life as
to make his death cause Of sorrow to
the whole people.
