Government Jobs.

AS great many young men
think if they get government job
they will live on flowery beds OF
ease the remainder of their days,
we reprint the following from the
pen of Harry Giovannolli, who is in
Washington holding down the job
of secretary to Commits o e 1
Yerkes. In recent issue of the
Danville Advocate, Mr.. Giovannol-
il says:
81 wouldn't advise one way
or the other. Some have
found government jobs stepping
stones to higher places, others have
found them curses. There are men
in the government service in Wash
ington who have worked in the de-
partments for nearly half centu-
ry. Beside their desk in their lit
tie rooms they are as deeply buried
as are the Trappist monks at Geth-
semsne. Capable at one time Of
developing into men of Intellectual
strength and independent action,
they have now become so dulled
and stagnated by years of routine
and monotony that they are mere
machines, and were the chiefs of
their bureaus to issue orders that
hereafter Sundays should follow
Wednesdays, they would o. k. the
orders and send them on down to
those of inferior rank without a
moments hesitation, and without
doubling that the calendar would
be upset.
