NAN WITHOUT An ENEMY.

Eighty years old-and not an enemy.
Could mortal man have a prouder day?
All Boston, all the country, joined in
honoring Edward Everett Hale on the oc-
casion of his eightieth birthday, Thurs
day. Neighbors by the hundreds, of all
ranks and stations in life, called to pay
their respects in person, and the mails
were burdened with greetings from friends
distant but mindful of the grand old
man.
Exercises simple and appropriate were
conducted, in which men of the highest
characterized men, as years go, but boys
compared with the veteran whose birth
day was Observation-Disclosures Senator
George Frisbie Hoar,- not a callow youth
by any manner Of means, was one of the
speakers, and DR.. Charles Eliot, president
of Harvard university, himself sixty eight
years young, led the responsive readings.
Edward Everett Hale began preaching
in 1916, and since that year has added i'm
mensely to the sum total of the worlds
kindness and goodness. AS his strength
grew his gentleness grew; as his wisdom
increased his charity increased. He was
the best exemplar of the virtues he
taught. Thus, with added years he fill
ed a wider field of usefulness, and no wear
went by without the world being better
for his living in it. His sermons, lectures
and books were full to running over with
kindly advice, useful information, encour-
aging suggestions, and above all a peren-
NAL fountain of good cheer and hope for
the best
BY reason of virtue and strength his
days are now four score Happy the
man of that age who can look back over
the generations come after him conscious
that among them all there is no one his
enemy. Such a man is Edward Everett
Hale.

the rights of workingmen to picket an
establishment with which they have
trouble. The state view, it will be noted,
is much more liberal in its effect than
the federal view.
1t would be hard to say to what extent
the difference in the positions of the two
judges influences their point Of view. The
state judge is Of the people; he must be
reelected at stated intervals; his continue
ance In Office depends upon popular favor.
The federal judge is appointed for life;
he is generally appointed through the in
f1uence of politicians prominent in party
councils; he draws apart from the people
by reason of the fact that he is indepen-
dent Of them. Voters may "get back at
a president for an Objectionable appoint
ment to judgeship, but they have no
means Of reaching an unpopular judge
appointed by that president
1t will be remembered that jefferson, the
greatest friend of the people, made the
one losing fight of his long and illustrious
career in an effort to have federal judges
elected by the voters. He feared the adj
vent Of judges of the sort the Hoosier
jurist seems to be-

obliged to raise their families and look
and be decent in their lives. 1t is capable
of proof that postoffice clerk who has
to work sometimes twelve hours a day,
Sundays, Christmas and Fourth Of July
included, can go for years and years, with
out one dollar of addition to the salary
with when he begins, notwithstanding
that his name has been recommended by
the local postmaster year after year to
the people at Washington for an increase
of pay.
Such treatment as this on the part of
a private employer would be regarded
as criminal parsimony. Yet for eighteen
years these men have sought relief, with
out avail. They are outside of politics.
The rules Of their employment require
that they shan not concern themselves in
politics. If they were common laborers,
WHO were able to make their influence felt
congress would not have dared to ignore
them as it has continued to do.
1t is no better with the carriers, only
their hours of work are prescribed and
confined. They may work for years with
out making 80 cents a day, and when
they do finally get a permanent position,
they may reach middle life, trudging the
streets day after day, in the uniform for
which they themselves have to pay, at not
more than $50 year. If they stay long
enough in the service they can get $1,000
a year, but there they stick for all time.
AS a public journal Clio b e pro-
tests against such shabby treatment Of
worthy citizens by their own govern
ment. That congress has so long refused
to apply remedy adds to the national
disgrace of it,

TLL-PAID PUBLIC SEBV4yTS

Even those who have but little faith in
the principle of civil service and less in
its practical application in government
administration have been willing to
acknowledge the advantage which has
come to many worthy classes of public
employees through that agency, in hay
ing the element of permanence enter into
their employment. The system has been
long enough in operation to establish the
truth that in certain departments the
gain has been great in this respect to
many thousands of men and women.
While acknowledging this, it is not to
be ignored that the system has in opera-
ton many drawbacks, even for those who
secured their employment under it. For
instance the pay of the postal employees
is in almost all cases totally inadequate,
and the prospect of promotion. is so re-
mote as to carry with it sense of hope
less drudgery to many capable public
servants
In the two cases, for instance, of postal
clerks and mail carriers, the government
IS almost parsimonious, more strlkingly
SO in the case of the clerks, but SO also
in a great degree in the case of tba
carriers 1t must be borne in mind that
in order to secure either of these positions
under what is somewhat amusingly
termed by its adherents the merit system.
1t is necessary to have an excellent
scholastic education. The modern high
school training is not usually adequate to
the requirements of the examinations
which are imposed in either case. A young
man aspiring to either position must be
thoroughly up in all the requirements of a
good English education, recently acquired.
in order to meet the demands made upon
him.
In the case of the postal clerks in our
own postofffce, for instance, the Injustice
is glaringly apparent. A man may enter
the service IN the prime of his youth and
at the very height of his ambition GET
$500 a year to begin with-that is $50 a.
month-and live and die in poverty and
despair without ever receiving an addi-
tional dollar. That is the condition of the
law. Not only is it the condition of the
law; it is the actual living reaIizatl on

men in the service of the United sta,es

THE RIGHT TO PICKET.

Two conflicting views of the right Of
strikers to picket were reported in Fri
day mornings G. lobe. One was render
ed by Justice Gaynor, of the supreme
court, Brooklyn, and the other by Federal
Judge Baker, of Indianapolis.
Justice Gaynor held that strikers who
had done no act of violence could not be
restrained from picketing the establish
ment of a company not employing union
labor. Judge Baker took an extreme con-
trary view. The state Judge held that an
injunction should not issue in advance Of
a trial. mo violence has been done to
persons or property. Capital and labor
have an equal right to organize, as is
now recognized by all sensible people
The courts should not interfere except
in a case Of obvious necessity. When
courts and judges of first instance have
gone beyond this it has been an abuse Of
power" said Judge Gaynor s

LIBRARY Us. POLITICS.

Since the library board was taken out
of politics, into which it was plunged
for the first time by Mayor F. B. Doran,
and in which it was kept by Mayor A
r. Kiefer, the. people Of St. Paul have
from time to time had the prospect pre-
Scented to them of having their city pos
sessed of a public library which would be
adequate to the literary needs Of it's peo-
pie and to its own reputation as an enlight-
ened, a prosperous and a progressive
community.
At its last meeting that body, while
moving with the care which must always
distinguish every organization made up
of conservative business men, offered suf-
ficient indication of a desire and purpose
to see the city's needs met at the earliest
possible day.
The people have been very patient in
this matter. Their hopes have been so
often destroyed, and all the efforts made
in the past in that direction have offered
50 little Of encouragement, that they
have come to accept the situation as one
from which no relief can be looked for
for many years to come.
The prospect of the sale of the present
library property to advantage is an ex-
cellent one. There is no more desirable
location for business purposes in the en-
tire community. The one asset repre-
scented by the city'3 ownership of that
property is certainly sufficient to form a
good basis on which to build in the en-
deavor to solve the difficult problem with
which the present board is confronted. It
will require many years no doubt; but
if the curse Of politics does not again
descend on the beard, it can be relied on
to call into active existence the public
spirit necessary to the successful solu-
ton of the problem.
Just at this time the people are con-
cerned in the movement to build an audi
torium That undertaking happily is so
well under way that its success is no
longer problematical 1t is big under
taking in itself. Its success must depend
wholly on the popular action. 1t will in
no sense and to no degree involve a bur-
den on the taX-paying community. I'm
til it has been brought to ultimate sue
cess, it will be well to postpone the posi-
tive steps necessary to supply the city
with adequate library facilities.
When the library board is ready to take
the initiative actively in the work of
founding the st. Paul public library it
will find that the people have the project
near to their hearts and that the mu-
nicipalty will have the full sanction of
all its people in any step that may be
taken by the board in financing the I'M
dertaking. In the meantime, let us all
hope that the board, as at present con-
stituted, will be kept clear of the de-
moralizing influence of local political
strife, and that Mayor Smiths attitude on
that subject will continue to be respected.

winch will astound the world and cause
his name to be remembered through
centuries after his body has crumbled to
dust in the Matoppo hills. The disposi-
ton which he has made of his millions OF
pounds of money does not much interest
the public, but his requests for the edu-
cation of British, German and American
youth-the Anglo-Saxon peoples-coupled
with a wish and prediction as to the
future of mankind, will surely set the ma
lions Of the earth to thinking.
Mr.. Rhodes saw in the closing years of
his life that Great Britain, Germany and
the United States had it in their power
by alliance to secure for the earth eternal
peace, and he set forth that the KEY to
the practical solution of the whole stu
pendous problem lay in the constitution
Of the United States
Whether wisely or unwiseIy the future
alone can tell. Mr. Rhodes has done all
in his power to cause these three ma
lions to act in unison by planning to ed
ucate large number of the youth of
each at Oxford. Something like $4,000 900
CT his money is to be put into scholar
ships, not only for the young men of the
British colonies, but for those Of Ger

and territories of the United States.

have it understood that his gifts are dis

ernments and peoples will stand in awe

A GOOD INDIAN.
The Murderer of Walsz and Boss
 Shot to Death.

The following interesting informa- tion was telgraphed to the Fl Paso papers from Phoenix on the 18th in- stant:
 It has developed that the redskin killed by E. c. Caruthers at Gila Bend who accom- panied Sheriff Truman, was the murderer Of Charles Walsz, of Gila Bend, and Bruce Ross, Of Mari copa. The Pima Indian reported to the sheriff asserting that Matt5o the murderer, was a bad Indian, who at tempted to incite other redskins to spilling pale face blood. Truman and Caruthers followed Mattso over the desert trails and over the rocks where the redskin attempted to conceal his trail by discarding his shoes. A toma- hawk narrowly missed the sheriff when the two suddenly drew rein be- fore the hiding place of Mattso, who then drew gun, but Mattso fell dead with two bullets in his heart. Other murders are attributed to this blood thirsty Wallapai, whose motives ap- peared to be robbery, as well as in herent hate of the white man.
