MORE PENSION. LESS SALARY
How Ware Treated n Medical Examiner II,
The Pension office.

WASHINGTON, Aug. Tt commissioner If
Pensions Ware has Hsain attracted a,,on.
tion to his peculiar administrative method.
by ordering reduction in the salary of Dr
Frank A. Norman medical examiner il,
the Pension Office. because DR. Norman
recently secured an increase of his pension
for civil war services.
DR.. Norman was appointed from Colorado
as medical examiner in 1891 Because ~
disabilities incurred in his military service
he, some years ago, got a pension Of Al,
month He d"w his pension regularly, IN
addition to his salary, but there are 90
many other Government employees in
Washington doing the same thing that nr
Norman's case did not attract attention
DR.. Norman recently learned that he w,s
entitled to an increase in pension from Ar
to $50 n month, and he proceeded to get !,
his claim being considered excellent Tho
increase was about to he allowed when
Commissioner Ware informed his gb.
ordinate that II he took the additional nen-
sion money, his salary would be reduced g,
that his total inco ONE from the Government
would be the same as before the Increase
was granted.
/, is alleged by DR., Normans friends
that the Pension Commissioner acted with
out authority. as DIR. Norman's salary was
in compensation for his work performed
as medical examiner and that his pension
was allowed by a grateful Government for
his service in the civil war.
Commissioner Ware is now in the IVES,
on his vacation. and az he recently declared
that he didn't read the papers nowadays,
they are so silly" DR.. Norman expects to
wait until Mr.. Wares return to obtain a
reconsideration Of his case

A Divided Responsible, {:

To THE EDITOR OF The SrN-SW: The
SUNS condemnation of the unreeved
brutality" practiced In the retirement Of
I.ieut-Gen. Miles undoubtedly reflects the
prcponderance Of public opinion But can
we be quite certain that in Gttributing this
exhibition of malgnity solely to Secretary
Root we are not lcCturins President Roose-
welt over Mr.. Roots shoulders? And If We
are il IL injurious to the high office the Presi-
dent occupies to lecture him for carrying per-
sonal vindictiveness into official bearing?
Looking back at the all-day conference
of the President with Secretary Root at Saga
more Hill last week. as reported in the press.
1t is hardly supposabe that they neglected
to reach an understanding as TO the manner
in which Gen Miles was to be retired Nor
could they have failed TO see the opportunity
il would afford for issuing that ungenerous
order from the War Department and for the
President to give his approval Of it, for the
press report says: Ut was officially an

1t Ia but a few years since Golden k'lle
JONES. as candidate for Governor,
polled 100000 votes in Ohio. At the
Same election the candidate of the inltla-
tive and referendum men had 1900 votes,
No better candidate, it was thought, than
Tom JOHNSON Of Cleveland could be
selected us the standardbearer for the
Ohio radicals. but blow TO this plan Of
campaign has been prepsrcd by Golden
Rule JONES, who after conference with
JOHNSON has refused, as reported, TO

As JOHNSON says: Il tried 10 get him
to unite with the local Democracy, but
he refused to be party to any fusion,
saying that his Judgment was against
any movement of that kind. He re-
fused, and that is the end of it.
Without Golden Rule JONES, q fusion
of the radicals will necessarily fail. The
prospect of fight between them and the
conservatives in Ohio, where every man
is a politician and every tenth man a
stt .esman, seems TO be postponed ins
definitely.

1t has been customary to attribute most
OF the serious mishaps to automobiles in

Mr.. SpAULDIN0 was a veteran among driv-

co. 900 miles in automobiles since those
vehicles were first introduced in this coun-
try. He was supposed to be particularly
familiar with the roads in New YORK and
also to understand thoroughly the motor
cars peculiarities
The fact that Mr. SPACLpING's vehicle
was a new one may have had something
to do with the case, for there are strong
indications that some automobiles, like

WHY Good Old Quaker Lady Became Prof ane

To THE EDITOR or THf SuS-,Str! Investigation
has shown that there IL b. actual count one man
In Philadelphia who refused to be held up by the
National Asphalt gang. I refer Ia Joseph Lecdom.
President Of the Quaker City National Bank His
experiences made him familiar with the method,
OF latter day financial promoters and peculiarly
equipped him TO detec, the artiul designs OF the
asphalt crowd.
Ono Of Mr.. Lcrdom's clients. middle aged
Quaker lady from the Media section. came 10 him
for advice about the family property. Mr. Lccdom
had been her mothers counselor. During the in
trrvlCw tho lady remarked that she was conSid D.
crnR an Investment OF $50 OOc in National Asphalt
SIS Mr. Icrdom was a'tourdcd, Questioning her
closely he learned that the purt hesr had beer SuE
gestcd to her BY the president Of large and irnu
entail life insurance and trust company Of Phil.
adclphin She insisted that this president WINS a
wise and m honest man. and that he knew the bonds
were very valuable and very good. MI Leedom
lost his temper,
"'lo he'll with --," Mr.. Leedom said mentioning
the presidents name; III you want to lose your
money. 90 ahead and take his advice" OF course
he apologi2ed for his choice OF language The
Quaker lady believed the lifo insurance president
and bought the bonds az par
Two months later she not frightened. National
Asphalt IS had saggcd and were selling at no. She
sought Mr.. LcedOm. He advised her to sell i'm
mcdIatcly and pocket her 5000 loss. She went to
the NE insurance president. He threw up both
hands at the suggestion Of selling,
"a great mistake: a great mistake" he declared.
She wavercd, then yielded to his argument shat the
bonds would sell at 100 In less than six months that
with Gen. Greene behind them there was nothing
10 fear. Ills connection with the Investment was
alone guarantee Of It's safety and proht. All this
the good lady told Lecdom. He shook his head.
Another sixty days. and she had occasion 10 con
suit Mr.. Leedom again Meanwhile the asphalt
scheme had been riddled by the bullets OF public
analysis. The SIS were selling AZ 10 or thereabouts
no higher. MI Icedom asked her about the invcs,
ment and She didn't know much. Also he inquired
for the views OF the life Insurance president.
"'ro hell with hint" she exclaimed excitedly, and
the matter was dropped Subsequently she sold
the bonds al n little more than IS, The asphalt
people got S2t, 900 OF her money.
That pious Quaker lady has nlourncd her loss
more than once since December 1901 but she Is only
one OF many OF her sex who were made penn,less
by the asphalt raid and who still praying on their
knees 10 the God OF Justice. And | might add thu
the HE insurance president who advised this par
ticuar lady To invest in the trash did not come
ont whole himself. He was completely bufYed

for naught. which makes the matter more pathetic

comes from those who are physically
and mentally the unfttest for the propa-
gation of the species The SEXUAL rela-
tions Of the majority Of Londoners are
of the loosest character. Thousands
upon thousands OF unmarried men and
women live together. Mr.. BOOTH testi-
iies that among the lowest classes i'm
moral relations before mari iage are not
unusual, and are indulgently regarded.
A clergyman reports that il is almost
always the woman who puts up the
banns" The current belief that English
women are more excessively and dis
gracefully addicted to strong drink than
are the women OF any other race finds
book One reason for the Reorganization
Of public houses of both sexes is the in
tolerable discomfort of the home. In
many of the crowded districts the SAM
tary laws are not enforced. Unclean
bedding is common. The dirt and filth
encountered in the tenements are APP
palling.
The manner in which Sunday is spent
by the London poor is thus described:
Up at IL, to be ready for the pubs,
which open at /; dinner at any time be-
tween and 4, then sleep, and then off,
with wife and children 10 hear the band
on the Common" Mr.. BOOTH adds that
In the way of Sunday pleasuring much is
spent on themselves by the men, who
leave their wives and children at home.
The sefishness and indifference exhibited
by the men of the poorer classes deserve
the severest reprobation The one ques-
ton with the parents of boys is, How
much can we get out Of them?
Has Mr. BOOTH no remedy for the state
of things which he disoloses' He can
suggest only palliatives. Overcrowding
might be lessened il no more new fac
tories were allowed to be erected within
four-mile radius of Charing Cross, and
if those already within that radius were
removed outside the limit But what is
to prevent the inoessant draining OF the
best blood from the country districts
to replenish the anRmic and degraded
population OF the metropolis? A revival
of British agriculture would check the
migration, but no such revival can be
looked for, except through the imposi-
ton of considerable duties on food prod
ucts, and such duties would increase the
price of bread. 1t is evident from the
facts collected by Mr. BOOTH that scores
of thousands Of the inhabitants of Lon
don are already on the brink Of starva-
ton, and could not possibly afford to
pay even an extra cent per loaf.
In word, the problem presented by
the London poor appears to be unsolva-
bic. The suffering might however, be
diminished to a certain extent il the
money contributed by the middle classes
for the conversion of the heather in
foreign parts were applied to the relief
of the hungry and the homeless in the
British metropolis.

sued, and lays down diota on points OF
engineering which are professionally
disputable--to say nothing OF common
sense. bitches, we are told, are to be dug
in lower Broadway and in upper Broad
way without DETACHMENT or obstruction OF
the street. Does it require professional
training to know that that is impossible'
IL not common sense enough? People
may not be engineers, yet they may have
had sufficient experience OF excavation
of that sort to be able to have an intelll-
gent and very decided opinion on the
subject.
Moreover, from the beginning OF the
subway up to the present tirne from
what high and distinguished engineer
ing authority have we received unre-
served approval and commentator OF
the method pursued in it's construction
through streets congested with the travel
and traffic of busy and populous city,
Is this subway put by professional opln-
ion in foremost place among the great
engineering achievements of this time'
The engineer who wrote to us yesterday
seems to imply that he, at least. does not
give it that exaltaton.
Throughout this country and through
out civilization generally. engineers are
modestly constructing or have con-
structed great masterpieces of their art.
BY their splendid work they are distin-
gushing this period from all past times
of the worlds history They have solved
and are solving professional problems OF
capital Importance and of tremendous
consequence tc civilization, yet they
do not expect society to fall down and
worship the engineer as the fetish into
which our Rapid Transit Commission
has erected it, own engineering chief.
Something remains to be learned in the
field of engineering even by the young
engineer upon whom that respectable
body has devolved so much OF its own
proper responsibility.
That faith in the Rapid Transit Com
mission may be beautiful exhibition Of
human trustfulness; but, after ALL there
is better way of reaching the end de-
sired by the citizens of New York; and
it will be pursued.

Poverty in London.

For seventeen wears, Mr. CHARLES
BOOTH has devoted all his leisure hours
to an investigation of the conditions I'M
der which working people live in the
British metropolis. The concluding vol
ume of his work, which has lust been
published by the MACMILLANs. reveals
an amount of privation, suffering and
degradation unparalleled in the history
of the world.
1t appears that more than 30 per cent
Of the population of London. or to give
the exact figures, 1 20? 1877 human beings,
were found by Mr.. BooTH and his as
sistants TO be living in abiect poverty.
OF the total population of the British
metropolis, nearly so per cent. dwell in
tenements not exceeding four rooms
each. According to the census of 1901,
there were S8,l5l families, composed OF
two or three persons each, living in two
rooms apiece, There We're 1910 fam
lilies, consisting Of four persons, inhabit-
ing one room each The congestion of
London is approached, though scarcely
equalled, in the one-room life of Glasgow
in the ruined houses, rags and dirt Of
Dublin, and in the sIums of Liverpool.
Mr.. BOOTH found in London that the
lower the class the earlier the period Of
marriage and the greater I he number Of
children born to each marriage. In the
most overcrowded districts of London
the marriage rate is the highest, that is
TO say, the poor multiply in proportion TO
their poverty; the increase of population

Sclium for the Yacht.

Now, wasn't it just like Frenchman
to 20 and discover selium after the Re-
lance was built and ready to defend the
Cup? Why could he not have discovered
it a year ago? 1t would not have touched
WILLIE FIFE OF Fairlie nor GEORGE
WATSON. Being Britons, they would
have waited. But as for NATHANIEL
HEIRESS-LOVE. every one knows that he
is the designer on the spot and that the
one thing which has been worrying him
is TO find metal suitable for huls and
better than either manganese bronze or
aluminium.
NJ. EDWARD MoLLARD has found some
thing in Germany He calls it selium.
1t is lighter and stronger than aluminium
and costs one-twelfth as much. 1t does
not rust and therefore will stand INNER
sion in water. The discoverer has not
yet informed us whether the substance
will pit under the action of salt water,
but, us it does not rust, any difficulties
in the way of pitting could be over
come.
1t is capable of taking a fine polish
resembling nickel Why, Nature evil
IDENTIFY designed this metal for the joy
of designers Of racing yachts. 1t has
one drawback; its hardness is not as
great as that of iron, but is greater than
that Of lead or zinc. Never mind; this,
too, can be overcome. Its power Of re-
sistanoe is greater than that Of iron, but
less than that Of steel. 1t will be strange
if HERREsHoFF or some other builder
does not find way of mixing this metal
with some other 80 as to produce an
alloy pretty nearly ideal for the con-
struction Of the hulls OF racing yachts.

The Macedonian Revolution.

Affairs in the Balkans appear to be
approaching a climax. The expectation
that the reforms promised by the Sui
tan in Macedonia would prove futile
has been confirmed The revolutionary
party in that country seems determined
to bring things to an issue.
There is probably nothing like the
number of insurgents in the field that
is given in the dispatches, but the
country in which they are operating is
peculiarly adapted to irregular warfare;
and while the harvest season lasts they
will have no difficulty about supplies
The Turks, on the other hand, will be
fighting under every disadvantage, and
whether they succeed in putting the
insurreCtion down or fail makes very
little difference. for il has been made
clear by the statement of Mr. BAL
FOUR in the British Parliament that the
ultimate settlement in Macedonia will
he made by Austria and Russia acting
with the consent of Europe.
That intervention may become neces-
sary at any moment is indicated by the
preparations made by the Austrian and
Russian War offices. The Austro-Hun-
garian garrison in Bosnia and Herze-
govina has already been reinforced. and
large reserves are held in readiness.
At Sebastopol and Odessa everything
is in readiness for the despatch of large
army by sea into the Balkans, the neu-
trality of Roumania having evidently
been guaranteed.
Under the circumstances, any resist
ance on the part of the Turks to inter-
vention and settlement would be useless
and might result in trouble of far more
serious nature for the Sultan. TO pro-
vide against such contingency, the
Russian army in the Caucasus is held in
readiness for service, and reserves are
modified in southern Russia ready for
transport to any required point.
The chances are, however. that there
will he no need to pun these forces in
motion. Tho Sultan has no visible ally
anywhere. All his advisers know that
opposition to Europe and the two manda-
tory Powers would only hasten the end
of his rule. The Macedonian revolutions
airy leaders are only pulling chestnuts
out OF the fire for others.
