ConEressmen's Clerks Association
To the Editor of The Evening Star.

COnEressnen's Clerks Association.
To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
That was very interesting and, in some
respects, amusing little story in Saturdays
Star Of the doings of the Congressmen's
Clerks Association, and Of their proposed
campaign Of humiliation against all de-
par.ment clerks who utilize their time after
office hours to do correspondence for Con-
greSsmen.
The peace Of mind of the young men who
compose this association seems to be dis
turbed by patriotic and economic apprehen-
sions that the department clerk who thus
employs his evening hours may SO fatigue
himself as result of this extra labor as to
be unable to render to the government dur
ing the day full equivalent in work for
MS salary, and, therefore, this ASSOCIATE ton
proposes to report all such offenders against
their monopolistic organization to the head
OF The department In which they are en-
pioyed for dismissal, upon the grounds that
they have no legitimate right to extend
their hours of labor or to draw two salaries
from the treasury in alleged violation of
law.
The time Of department clerk after
office hours is his own, to engage in such
proper employment as he pleases, and 1 will
venture the assertion that If the records of
the clerks In the. several departments are
consulted, 1t VIII be found that the effi-
cheney of the clerk who has energy and am
bition enough to engage In extra work after
ONCE hours will compare favorably with
that of any Of his fellow clerks, both as to
quantity and quality of work done, and will
far surpass that of the clerk who aimlessly
idles or dissipates away his evening hours.
While the compensation for clerk hire to
members of Congress is appropriated from
the treasury, 1t is in no sense a salary
drawn from the government by those who
receive 1t, but simply an additional allow
ance voted to members to pay for clerical
assistance. But, admitting. for the sake of
argument, that 1t is a salary drawn from
the treasury. the Supreme Court of the
United States has decided in several in
stances, the latest, believe, being the case
of the United States vs. Saunders that it
is not unlawful for one person to draw two
salaries from the reasury, provided the du-
ties of one position do not interfere or con-
dict with the duties of the other
A Congressman's correspondence as
rule, can better be done in the evening than
at any other time He has a right to en-
ploy whom he pleases to do the work The
field is open to all competitors, and the as
ISOLATION referred to will find that Congress-
men will not permit their right to select
their own clerks to be interfered with. nor
will the department clerk who chooses to
engage in such employment after office
hours be frightened away by the boomer
angie manifestations of the Consressmen's
Clerks Association. T p K

A NEW STYLE OF MARCHING.
Capt. Raouls System for Attafninr
High Speed With Little Exertfon.

Capt. Rnouls System for Attaining
high Speed With Little Exertion
From the Petit Parisen
Capt Raoul OF the French artillery began.
five years ago, special study of the milf
tary march. He concerned himself esq
pecially with the question whether ths
method of marching adopted generally by
the armies of the civilized world answers
the needs of war well. He wished to devise
system that should permit certain youna
troops to acquire a resistance to fatigue
and a speed unknown in the European
armies. Very robust young soldiers are oc-
casionally found to acquire by training
great speed, but they are exceptions to the
rule, and in reaching the object aimed at
they are often greatly fatigued. After much
study Capt. Raoul thinks he has found a
solution of the question in the method in
stinctvely used by peasants in their rapid
walking.
II am able" SAYS Capt Raoul. ..to taxa
the first conner between the ages of twenty
and sixty years and teach him to run SO
long as his legs will upbear him, without
his feeling the least Inconvenience in the
matter Of respiration"
1t is found that men without the east
training are able to make by his system
mora than six miles at the first trial By
the ordinary system of running such q
man could not, without pain, cover a
tenth of that distance
Capt. RaouPs method is to maintain the
body straight, to hold the head high and
we'll free of the shoulders, to expand the
chest without special effort and to hold
the elbows a little behind the launches
The rurner begins gently, with steps of
about Ii 81 inches, lifting the feet only Just
high CROUCH to clear the irregularities Of
the track, the hams strongly bent the up
per part of the body inclined forward as
much as possible, so that the man must
run in order to maintain his equilibrium
In fact, the man is kept chasing his own
center of gravity, which tends to fall in
advance of him.
In the training exercises the soldier be-
gins by running the first kilometer about
1,0S4 YARDS in 10 minutes, the second in 8
minutes 30 seconds, and so on with ,ncreas-
ing speed. After several weeks the soldier
makes from the third kilometer a speed of
u minutes, or even minutes and As sec
onds. After the experiment had been tried
upon several regiments some years ago. a
soldier made more than twelve and three
tenths miles IN trifie less than two hours.
AS the muscles employed in this feat were
not those especially in demand in the or
binary method of marching, the soldier
was able at once to take up the march in
the usual step with as good spirit as when
he left the barracks.
Capt. Raoul recommends that after a uta
tie training the soldier run the first kilos
meter in Z minutes Is seconds the second
in minutes 5 seconds, the third in min.
utes As seconds, and from the sixth on
each kilometer in minutes 30 seconds He
recommends that this last speed be not ex.
ceeded.

ONE YEAR OF COOPERATION.
Their Motto is Omitted to Relieve; Not
Combined to Injure."

Their Motto is Omitted to Relieve; Not
Combined to Injure."
From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
The experiment of organizing society on
the cooperative plan In Knoxville and
Allentown Is now year old. Last night
the first anniversary of the Integral Co.
operative Association. composed of people
IN that community, was celebrated with an
entertainment in the Allentown Turner
Hall.
While the association has a membership
of only 1913, there were 100 people at the
celebration. The program consisted prin-
cipally of vocal and Instrumental music by
good local talent. President ]. Edward
Chesley made a speech. in which he told Of
the progress the movement had made.
Mr.. Chesley is an enthusiast who be-
leves the world is slowly but surely re-
solving itself into one mighty social or
ganization, in which the Golden Rule will
be universally practiced, and in which
everybody will buy groceries at one COM
mon supply house at cost. During his talk
the president called attention to a large
streamer stretched across the hall. on
which was painted this motto: United to
Relieve; not Combined to Injure." In fact,
this sentiment was the keynote of his short
speech. He declared that the old boat of
competition is sinking, and the lifeboat Of
cooperation is coming to the rescue
He explained the value of cooperative
effort, as Illustrated by the grocery owned
and conducted by the association at 10
Washington avenue, thirty-first ward He
said that all the store rooms now occupied
by stores In excess of those absolutely
necessary to supply the people was a waste
of rent. His theory is that all profit made
by the stores which the community could
get along without is a species Of robbery
and that the patrons are the people robbed
In connection with the printed program
was statement of the condition of the CO.
operative grocery. From these figures it
would appear that the weekly sales are
$3.50, and that there has been a gain In the
assets OF the grocery of s415. AZ since it has
been running. The balance sheet shows
that the store invoices $1,O22 so in merchan-
disc and S4Si.39 in fixtures, with $134 70
cash on hand.
The Bellamy Association, which is an
outgrowth of the Integral Association, now
owns toby factory and employs sixteen
people

Electric Motors on Railways.

The successful use of electricity as mo-
tive power on steam roads has led the Bald.
win locomotive works of Philadelphia and
the Westinghouse Electric and Manufac-
turing Company to effect combination.
1t is expected that the union of these two
companies will result In the early introduc.
ton of improved forms of electric motors
for standard railroads.
w. d. UpIegraff, private secretary to
George Westinghouse, tr., in explaining the
scope of the utilization of the interests OF
the Westinghouse Electric Company and
the Baldwin Locomotive Company, said:
1.-The combination is to develop the possi-
bilites of the Tesla motor, as applied to
the railway service. We intend to make II
rossible to ride from New York to Pitts
burg in three hours. With the Tesla motor
we are assured power 20 draw a car at the
rate of $50 miles an hour, or more"

EX-MARSHAL RANSDELL.
What He Says of Gen. Harrison G
the Next Presidency.

What He Says of Gen. Harrison and
the Next Presidency.
Ex-Marshal Rsrsdell, who was marshal
of the District under President Harrison
and occupies confidential relations with
him, was in Washington today. Speaking
of the attitude of Mr. Harrison toward the
presidential nomination, he does not throw
much new light on the subject. but what
he says is rather confirmatory of what
seems to be the gene raj impression. He
says that of course 10 enc has authority
to speak for Mr.. Harrison, who always
speaks for himself when he is ready. He
SAYS, however that Mr.. Harrison occupies
the same attitude he has ever since he
went out Of the White House. His ambi-
ton is satisfied, AMI he does not desire
again to be President, in the sense of seek
ing it in any way. Nobody thinks that he
him, but he would do nothing to secure the
offer.
Mr. RansdeN evidently did not regard
Mr.. Harrison out of the field, but said
that, leaving him out of the quesrion-if
this could be done-would he divide
among the other candidates? Reed, Nc
Kinley and Allison all had friends In the
state. Without saying SO, he rather indi-
Gated that assuming Harrison nut of the
field was "only for the sake of argument"
Mr.. Ransdell said he thought the demo-
Gratis would nominate Whitney, and Gov
Matthews of Indiana for President and
Vice President.
