THE Charlotte News refers to Geo.
l.. Morton, candidate for the noml-
nation of Observation-Disclosures as
the champion Of the saloon and says,
"When the saloon asks the people to
endorse it's chosen champion for the
next highest office in the State this
fall, with the possibility OF having a
saloon politician in the Governor s
chair, it is asking too much.
And who is this saloon politician
that there is a possibility OF having
in the Governors chair? We suspect
the friends of Major Stedman, Colonel
Davidson, Capt. Glenn and Mr.. Tur-
ner will protest against such an inn
putation being put upon either OF
their chosen champions.

lions toward extravaganza or careless
ness, is an obstacle in the path Of
proper provision for a rainy day. OF
course, one sees more of this difficulty

Secretary Wilson has pronounced
ideas on the subject of thrift and of
timely provision for the inevitable non
productive period of old age. He said:
"IS is extremely probably and quite
proper that, in Directing to a pension
system for Government employees, it
VIII be urged that with ordinary caution
few, if any. of these employees should be
in a state of perjury when no longer
able to work. Any man entering one
Of the departments can insure himself
against want, either in one of the regu-
lar insurance companies, or by putting
aside a part of his salary each month.
But I have heard OF numerous cases OF
suffering on the part OF superannuated
clerks VINO had lacked habits Of thrift,
or had been harshly dealt with bv cir

sympathy. and. as 1 have said, careful

which he called attention as early as
1881. before the enactment OF the civil
service law. Even then the service was
incumbered by employees inefficient
through old age, whom department
chiefs hesitated 10 discharge through
feelings Of humanity. Says Mr.. Raum:
u believe in the adoption OF a just and
humane method of retiring clerks from
the public service on account Of age and
infirmity. There are now in the depart
ments a great many persons who have
served from twenty-five 10 forty years,
and some longer. The fact that they
have had such long service must be ae-
cepted as conclusive proof Of their good
character. personal worth. and Ell
cheney. Many Of these worthy persons
have reached an age and a bodily condi-
tion that seriously disqualify them for
effective work. II Is perfectly clear to
anyone well acquainted in the depart
mcuts that the time for some remedy is
at hand, and that the interest OF the
public service requires that there shall
be a gradual retirement Of employees on
account Of age and indrmity.
Upon inquiry It VIII be found that
heads of departments and bureaus fully
concur IN the foregoing proposition, but
they are confronted with the fact that
the removal Of these old public servants.

any provision for their future.
1T is well-knOWn that the cost Of liv-
Ing IN Washington has increased 100 per
cent In the past hfty years. The wages
Of mechanics, labOrers and house ser
wants have during the same period ad-
vauccd more than 100 Der cent. but the
salarlcs OF Government employees have
remained stationary. IL is perfectly OBJ
vious that during the period Of employ
mcnt OF the long service clerks the op-
portunity 20 save from their salaries
has steadily lessened, because Of the
greofly increased cost Of living"
