And now the Treasury Department is
digging into the past. Not content with
raking up everything pertaining to the
present and inaugurating schoolroom re-
form, Assistant Secretary Vanderlip is
poking through musty old volumes and as
certaining how much leave clerks have
had during periods long years before he
or Secretary Gage ever had any control
over the actions or the conduct of en-
ploves. The period covered by this re-
search is six years. 1t is said that the
amount of leave thus discovered to have
been taken is to be considered in fixing
the present status Of clerks for promotion
or reduction. One woman who has been
in the department for five years, 1t has
been learned, has been absent on leave
exactly one year of that time. This is
renrehersi5le, of course, and showed
dereliction of duty on the part of those
in power at the time, but waat Mr. Van
derlip has to do with it is one of the

A few weeks ago Mr. Church Howe, who
was beaten for congress q few years ago,
was nominated consul general at Apia, Sa-
moz. and was confirmed by the senate.
Then Mr.. Howe began 20 read up on the
Samoan situation. The more he absorbed
information about the last home OF Robert
Louis Stevenson the less he cared for the
prospect Of a long stay I'm the South Pa
cific, where Americans are scarce and but

Thurston THAI he would like some other
place. and suggested Panama, a post now
held By General Victor Vifquain, another
Nebraskan.
Senator ThGrston promised 20 see what
could be done. He explained 20 the pres
i6ent that Mr.. Howe would prefer z posi-
ton less remote from civilization in gen
eral and the United States in particular.
Send him 10 Panama" said the sena-
tor. Nebraska has had that berth for
years, and Howe would make an excellent
Official there
Il can't do that" the president replied.
for I have promised Panama to Senator
Pritchard for one OF his Carolina constit-
uents. But I viii give him q more desir-
able place l Will send him to Palermo"
Senator ThuTston agreed TO the selection
and then told the president that he had
an excellent man for Apia IN the person
OF ex-Judge L. W. Osborn of Blair, Neb.
The president consented 70 appoint him,
and also to issue a commission 70 John
Jenkins OF Omaha as consul at San Sal
vador. The three are Grand Army men.
and as Senator Thurston has already Sc
cured two places in Alaska for two other
Nebraskans. he thinks that he has done
pretty well under the circumstances.
Mr. Osborn had a rival for the Samoan
appointment In Lloyd Osborn, stepson OF
Robert Louis Stevenson, and at present
vice consul under Consul-General Church
III. The latter was appointed only about
fifteen months ago. and at that time was
an editorial writer on the Brooklyn Daily
Times.

The most significant feature Of tho

for the fact that through those 10000
men fully s. Oh, oo0 a month Is being dis
trlbussd through the regular channels Of
trade. although that in itself is an item
Of no small amount. The main thing,
however. Is that this large number OF
men have secured employment because
the improved condition OF railroad busi-
ness has rendered necessary the use OF
this number OF men additional to the
