but whose force and personality are
| such that no younger ones could take
ttbeir place. 1t really depends more on
| shpw men grow old than when they
| 'sfow old as to the date fixed by the
world for their retirement from ac-
! tivitv.
No better illustration OF this fact can
be cited than the interesting debate
this week In the senate on the Philip
pine question, when two men, each 10
years old, entered into contest OF
words which III earlier generations
would have gone into the school read
crs as an example of eloquence and
wit from the greatest statesmen in the
land. Nowadays, as Mr.. Reed once said,
II is too true that a statesmen is sue
eessful politician who is dead, and we
do not make much of the oratory we
have because we have so much of 1t
that we do not recognize II as oratory,
while the orators still live.
The two senators to whom reference
is made, Senators Hoar, of Massachu-
sets, and Plat, of Connecticut who
have represented their states In the
senate for. twenty-five years, gave no
evidence of the abating of the vital
forces which have made them leaders
for Il half century. They held the list
eners spell-bound until long past the
time when senators are accustomed to
leaving. There are very few young men
In either house today who can thus
tat,,,
tinued play OF splendid eloquence. 1t
was a case when years are eliminated
from the subject.
There are. other men today whose
grasp on affairs does not weaken with
the years Senator Quay is one whose
health and the malignant flight of en-
nifty combined, are too feeble to dimin-
ish. Today his touch in statecraft Is
perhaps more potent than it was
twenty-five years ago. Senator PlattS
influence is another which is very slow
in waning and one in which age has
no effect. Whoever thinks of age as
affecting Senator Depew? In the per-
son of the present congressman from
this district we have another splendid
example of unimpaired mental power
keen foresight and marvellous sagacity
at the time in life when many are ell
fcebled.
The truth of the matter is this: The
young man who has enough ability to
prepare place for his elder years will
find no one to dlslodee him from that
place until one day the mighty force
which none may withstand removes
him from the world. Old men are not
set aside by the young until that abil
ity is far on the wane. There is too
much need for wise heads and brave
hearts and steady nerves. and 1--WE do
rot count mans years until he has
nothing else to count"

The Eight Hour Day r1ania.
THE SPECTACLE presented

by the parties who have
Il been endeavoring to have
the hours of labor at the
steel mills engaged in government
contracts restricted to eight, borders
upon the ridiculous. AT the recent
hearings before the house committee on
labor General Superintendent Johnston,
of the Bethlehem Steel works; ex-
Secretary of the Navy Herbert and
others representing large concerns do
ing work. for the government held that
it was impossible to prepare many of
the large pieces of steel armor used on
battleships in eight hours time. or in
eight hour shifts, and that the success
of the operation depended largely upon
longer hours. 1t was also shown that
the system worked to the advantage of
the employed, as large bonuses were
received for overtime. So far as ap-
pears upon the surface, no demand for
eight hours has come from the steel
workers themselves, who no doubt real
ize the gravity of the situation, but
rather from the meddlesome class Of
politicians who imagine that prestige
can be gained in alleged efforts to bene-
fit a class OF workingmen that is prob
ably the best paid among the skilled
laborers in the country. 1t seems too
bad that valuable time should be con-
sumed in combating the misguided
efforts of the uneasy people who are
forever engaged in the work of pro-
noting legislation that Is not needed.

QUESTIONS.

For The Tribune.
Ii public office i, a public trust,
Wy should the recompense be more than Just?
Why should officials get many times the pay
That they could make in any other way?
Why should the public work cost so much more
Than similar work in office, bank or store?
Is public office where the pay is fees,
Simply large and juicy sponge 10 squeeze?
Should an official his duties shirk,
And leave his office wholly to a clerk,
Yet Of the fees receive the lions share
And at the same time he employed elsewhere!
Would amy corporation. firm man
BE willing to do business on this plan?
Why are some paid by pcrquIsitc and fec,
And Others By stated salary?
Why not give all chance TO work the game?
Why not treat one and all OF them the same?
Why should some officials each and every year,
From ten to twenty thousand more, clear,
And others scarcely ret sufficient price
To pay them for the time they sacrifice?
Are taxes such an easy thing to pay
That public money should be thrown away?
Is public treasure but trough OF swill
For hogs that seem to never get their hll9

Will announce their purpose frankly. If
