efforts in the commercial world, and,
although a young man, he is in posi-
ton to decline an appointment in the
government service and enjoy the
fruits of his prosperity in private bus
mess.
There is another interesting story
told of the Treasurer's office which will
dovetail in nicely with the incident of
the Atlanta man. Soon after Mr.. Rob-
erts became Treasurer of the United
States, he decided to lay the founda-
ton for a corps of experienced high
grade clerks in his office. There are
now in the Treasurer's office a number
of faithful and reliable employees who
have seen long service under the gov
eminent. They are fully capable of per-
forming their present duties which en-
titles them to salaries ranging from
$1,000 to 5000 a year. Many of them are
well along in years, and probably will
never be qualified to receive further
promotions Expert accountants, book,
keepers, tellers, and chiefs of divisions
in the Treasurer's office receive salaries
aggregating in some instances $500 a
year. Treasurer Roberts idea is to re-
cruit ibis office with young men at low
salaries and if they show sufficient in
telligence and aptness in financial af-
fairs to jump them over the heads OF
the mldule-Brade OF employees ana land
them in the higher positions. OF course,
these promotions are not to be made In
month, or a year, but in the course
of four or five years, it is
claimed some of the young
men who are now handling the ac-
counts IN the treasurer's office. at $500
and $500 a year, may be advanced to
the high salaried positions in that Of
fee. Within the last year, it is said
several exceedingly bright young men
who entered the treasurer's Office at
the lowest rung of the civil ladder
have been promoted to 81 200 and 81 400
positions by reason of their recognized
ability and aptness in dealing with ac-
counts.
Treasurer Roberts never loses an
opportunity to commend the efficiency
of the force of employees under his d.
rection and he is a firm believer and
a practical advocate fthe merit sys-
tenn in the public service.

for Legitimate Purposes"

rcan State Convention reassembled at
10 o'clock this morning. Ex-Congress-
man Thorpe, chairman of the Resolu-
lions Committee, presented the plat

all political issues. 1t denounces all
attempts to discriminate in favor of,
or against citizens of Virginia on ac-
count of race or color. 1t protests
against the proposition to confer the
right of suffrage on unworthy persons
on account of the merits or the achieve
ments of their ancestors as tending
to create a privileged class and
discriminate against others equally
worthy. 1t favors the right of suffrage
being left as fixed by the present con-
stitution of Virginia with such laws
and guarantees as will secure to every
qualified voter a free ballot and fair
count 1t arraigns the Democratic par

years past" 1t declares its unalterable

but wages no war on combination of
capital for legitimate purposes, and ar

its failure to enact any law or take any
steps to control, prevent or punish such
criminal trusts and illegal combina-
lions of capital 1t protests against the
scheme to promulgate the new constl-
tuition without submitting it to the
people.
1t favors economy in the admins
tration of state government and
charges the Democratic party with
wanton extravaganza and willful
waste.
1t condemns the Democratic party
for not having changed the law of fell
low servants, as construed by the Su-
preme Court of Appeals, and denounces
the acts of the Democratic Legislature
in its attempt to destroy the oyster in
terests of the state.
/ demands liberal state pensions for
disabled Confederate soldiers and their
widows.

tax.
