NAGGING MIR. VIRGINS.

We printed in our news columns the
other day a bulletin issued by Com
missioner of Pensions Ware giving the
information that Mr.. Virgins of Geor-
gia had been promoted from a $1,000
to $1,000 clerkship, for reasons stated
in the bulletin. These reasons, a cata-
logue of the virtues of Virgins, were
neatly Photographed and attested by the
commissioners own sign manual. 1t
was stated that Virgins had taken
only fourteen DAYS off from work in
four years, or less than one-eighth of
the vacation he might have had on de-
mand. Furthermore. he did not spend
"a good part of his time steering states
men up against the commissioner to
tell him what a fine and influential fell
low Virgins was, and how much the
people at home would appreciate his
promotion. Virgins seems to have
said nothing and sawed wood" dur
ing business hours. and to have left
his chief and the statesmen to attend
to their own business, so far as he was
concerned. For these and other vir-
tues duly enumerated Virgins was ga
zetted and held up to his fellow clerks
as model to be emulated.
And now these fellow clerks are
making Virgins wish that he had not
been so painfully virtuous. They are
pointing to him as a man lacking suffi-
cient intelligence to enjoy the benefi-
cences of a kind Providence: in other
words, to gouge the government for
all the vacation time and sick leaves
possible, and worry the lives out of
everybody in sight for advancement.
They have been referring to him as
too dense to know a good thing when
he sees it, and too parsimonious to
spend even the time of the government
They resent ehe commissioners choice
of Virgins as n model and swear they
wouldn't be as simple as he is for two
promotions. Meanwhile Virgins is
Flooding along at his work: still he is
sensitive and Is rendered rather un-
comfortable. But it isn't at all his
fault that he was selected and bulle-
tined; II is Commissioner Wares. Mr..

Mrs. Bryan and the Parrot.

Some well-meaning, but misguided,
persons recently presented William
Jennings Bryan with parrot, says the
Philadelphia Press. The bird, to do it
justice, was a wonder, and was not in
the household of the Nebraskan for
any considerable length of time before
it had acquired the trick of miinicking
to advantage the voices of the various
members of the family. It's particu-
lar speciality, however, was in imitat-
ing the voice of Mrs. Bryan in giving
orders to the cook and this knack oc-
cassioned not a little trouble for Bird

week or ten days ago-eo runs the
story-Mrs. Bryan was passing through
the pantry, when there suddenly flash
ed upon her the memory that she had
neglected to give some necessary orders
to the competent but somewhat irasci-
Bile queen of the kitchen.
Bridget" she called.
"Oh, shut up-will you?" came i'm
mediate and unhesitating response.
The parrot jumped for glee, but since
then both Polly and Bridget have left
the Bryan service.

DISTRICT LOCAL OPTION.

On Tuesday the city of Boston will
vote on novel local option PROPOSE
ton. The Massachusetts, Legislature
at its last session passed an act ex-
tending to Boston the privilege of say
ing whether the city shall be divided
into districts, each district to place be-
fore its citizens the question whether
they will have prohibition or licensed
saloons during the next year. Already
Boston votes each year, at the city
election, on the question of license. The
question to be decided Tuesday is
whether the principle of local option
shall be still further applied and the
city divided into eight districts each
having for itself the right of local self
government in so far as the liquor bus
mess is concerned.
Interest in the matter is very strong
and an exceptionally heavy vote has
been registered. The polling books,
indeed. indicate that the ballot will be
heavier than for a presidential cleo
ton. And it is believed that the inno-
walton will be adopted
liz experiment OI UlSLTlCL local OD-
ton will be watched with interest all
over the country. 1t seems to be
based on sound principles. Under the
plan the residence districts will be able
to protect themselves against saloons,
and in any district of the city in which
no-license becomes the majority senti-
ment, the saloons will be abolished
within a year, since the question comes
up each year, in DECEMBER. Election
after election the residence sections of
Boston have voted strongly against Ii
cense, but as the city has gone for IL
cense, such sections have been obliged
to accept saloons along with the ball
ance of the city. Under the new law
each community, or district, will reg
ulate the matter for itself. AS one
consequence of the adoption of the
proposed law, it is predicted that not
less than 100 saloons would be put out
of business within a year.

HepertOrial Dignity Injured.

"A reporter on one of the local daily
papers is small of stature and looks
and behaves like a very young boy.
says the Boston Herald One night re-
Gently he was sent to Everett on an as
slgnment by the night city editor. He
called at house and asked for the
lady he wished to interview 1t was
after o'clock, and the curfew had
warned all children from the streets
on penalty of being arrested and lock-
ed up.
The questions the reporter asked the
lady were impertinent but important.
She gazed at the innocent looking
child" before her a moment, and then
said: Little one. you are not a re-
porter. You are an imposter whom
some idle. malicious gossip has sent
mere to worry me. You ought to be in
your bed. Now, you run along home
or you will get arrested and locked in
a cold dungeon: for. remember. the
curfew has rung, and all little boys
must be in bed. nicely tucked in, be-
fore the curfew rings. So run along
like good little child"
The reporter choked down his wrath
and went his way. But his dignity had
been assailed, and he gave vent to his
feelings later when he related his ex-
perience to his chief. Now he is devot-
ing all his energy to growing a NOUS
tache.
The Savannah morning news., 1902-11-03
INFRINGEMENT At ATLANTA.

That number of the members Of the
General Assembly see the necessity for
retrenchment in the states expenditures
is evidenced in some of the bills that
have been introduced. One of these
bills is for the abolition of the Office
of special attorney of the states rail-
road, the Western and Atlantic. The
place is a sinecure. 1t pays a salary
of $1,000 a year. The duties attached
to it might we'll and easily be attended
to by. the attorney general, as suggest
ed by the author Of the bill. Another
retrenchment bill is that to limit the
property or income of pensioners. which
we have considered at length else
where. A third symptom of the de-
sire to save money was seen in the
movement to cut down the number of
clerks, doorkeepers, messengers, etc.
That there are too many OF these en-
ployees is readily apparent to every
one who has not a protege for whom
he desires a place on the public's pay
roll.
This tendency towards reduced ex-
penditures is most commendable. 1t is
to be hoped it win grow and prove
fruitful.
Now, in the line of this reform, If
the Legislature would move in the
matter of biennial sessions it would
effect a considerable saving of money
and confer, a favor upon the people of
the state. We have so often enumerated
the advantages of biennial over annual
sessions that it would be useless to
repeat them. They are known by every
body in the least familiar with Georgia
politics. The genial Col. ben" Rus
sell of cambridge thinks a session in
ten years would be about the proper
thing for the Georgia Legislature. We
are not quite prepared to accept his
amendment, but we are sure that
a session each two years would be all
sufficient, and would give the state as
much legislation as it needs.
And while the legislative pruning
hook is at work, it might well be en-
ployed in the looping off Of some of
the useless branches and suckers that
have grown on the county government
system as we have 1t in Georgia. There
are too many county officers to eat
up taxes without giving any adequate
return to the taxpayers.
The Savannah morning news., 1902-11-03
DAYS OF GRACE.

Mr.. Calvin of Richmond has intro
duced in the House Of Representatives
bill to abolish the DAYS of grace on
any bill or draft payable at sight.
The grace days on commercial pa
per were instituted years and years ago
to meet condition which has long
since ceased to exist. In those days
travel was slow and mails not very re-
liable for promptness. A downpour Of
rain, swollen creek. the washing
away of a country bridge, the loss Of
nut from the wheel of the mail coach
or anv one of a dozen similar occur
rences incident to old-time travel, was
sufficient TO delay the mail from one
to two days beyond the expected time
of it's arrival: and if the distance to be
covered was long, the delay might be
even greater. There were no such
things as schedules and If a letter
reached Charleston or New York from
Savannah within day or two of the
average time of travel between the
cities, the sender and the receiver con-
graduated themselves upon their good
luck. In justice TO debtors. in view Of
the likelihood of the occurrence of I'M
avoidable delays. the days of grace
were established and legalized. 1t was
made the law that the debtor should
have three days of grace over and
above the time specified in his note or
bill in which to make payment.
The necessity for these grace days
disappeared with the disappearance of
the old styles of communication and
transportation. Fast and reliable mails
make it possible for the business man
in Savannah to know precisely when
bis letter will reach correspondent in
Atlanta, or Macon. or Gainesville, or
New York; and the telegraph and long
distance telephone put the whole coun-
try into almost instant touch. There is
no reason, therefore, why the days of
grace should be retained. They have.
as a matter of fact. been abolished in
probably a majority of the states. 1t
change if they were abolished in all
the states. Under modern circum-
stances "at sight" ought to mean what
it says, and not three days after pre-
sentation." Nor is there any good and
sufficient reason why thirty days"
should mean thirtythree days. Mr.
Calvin's bill seems on the right line.
1t ought to have friendly considera-
zion

to his full hight and almost carrying
his hearers off their feet, according to
the Chicago Record Herald, with his

INCOMES OF PENsIONERs.

In his farewell message to the Leg
islature Gov. Gambler called attention
to the rapid increase of the pension
burden and asserted that If something
were not done in the way of pension
reform, within a year or two the
charge upon the state would amount
to $1,000, 900. 1t is not much short of
that figure even now, the estimate of
the commissioner being that $3.50, 900 will
be needed for the coming year. A day
or two ago Mr.. Wellborn of Union in
troduced in the House a measure in
the line of pension reform. 1t pro-
vides that veterans owning $1,000 worth
of property or receiving $500 a year
salary shall not be entitled to receive
pensions from the state.
Surely that is not an onerous condi-
ton. There are a great many tax
payers In the state having property
worth less than $1,000 or incomes of
less than 5000 who cheerfully give of
their small means towards the ex-
penses of maintaining the government.
Is 1t fair to these people to make them
contribute to the incomes of those who
are better off financially than they are?
The element of the states gratitude to
her old soldiers cannot be regarded as
an argument in this connection. 1t is
not question of gratitude alone, but
of justice and ability. If the state
were very rich, if it could afford to
pension every Georgia soldier who
wore the grey, there would be few OBJ
jections to the most liberal treatment
of the veterans. But Georgia is not
very rich. The great majority of her
people are poor and work hard for
their daily bread.
1t is the desire of everybody that
every worthy and needy eX-Confeder-
ate soldier or widow of such soldier
shall have a pension. Under the cir
cumstances, the only way for these
needy ones to be provided for, without
injustice to the taxpayers, is for the
pension list to be reduced to an indi-
gent basis. Mr.. Wellborns bill does
not quite reach that point, but it is a
step in that direction and in line
with the needed reform. 1t has been
said that there are pensioners on the
rolls who, so far from needing the
states assistance, are fairly well-to-
do. Nothing of this sort sshould be
| permitted. 1t may be impossible to
construct a pension system that will
absolutely defy impositions upon the
bounty and good will of the people,
but we can, and should, do the very
best we can to purify the system and
preserve the pension roll as a roll of
| honor. 3n 4a' 20
