A Russian Boomerang.

Russia's claim that the comma nder of the
American gunboat Vicksburg acted i'm
properly in connection with the naval fight
at ChemulDo was not at the outset cred

utmost confidence that Commander Mar

themselves to that end. Thus, the charge
preferred some weeks ago becomes boom

tersburg severely. No basis appears in the
report for the intimation that the Ameri-
can commander refused to join In the pro-
test of the other naval officers against the
japanese assault upon the Russian cruisers
in the harbor. Commander Marshall states
explicitly that he was not invited to Join
in the protest, and was not even notified
of what was in progress. Thus, the Ameri-
can naval representatives come off with a
clean record.

Gold Standard in Mexico.

From the New York Sun.
The establishment of the gold standard
in Mexico proceeds slowly and by no means
surely. After sessions and investigations
covering about a year, the monetary COM
mission has been dissolved and duly
thanked for its faithful and efficient sery-
ices. There is something in the argument
that Mexico has shown a really remark
able development during recent years. not
withstanding her silver basis, and in the
added argument that a radical change
would tend to a serious disturbance of con-
ditions, with perhaps unfortunate results.
But some such shock must come sooner or
later. Mexico must join the gold standard
procession If she would keep up with the
world movement. Shocks may be unpleas-
ant, but If they are the only remedy for the
disease, it is well to have them and be done
with 1t. A number of years ago the United
States faced the question of return to
specie payments and decided that "the way
to resume is to resume"

good thing for our neighbor.

about in the form of pulverized street ref
use. Bacterial analyses of this street
candy have in other cities been made from
time to time with startling results, and II
is by no means to be believed that such
an investigation would here reveal less
dangerous conditions. The sputum of per-
sons suffering consciously and unconscious
ly from all forms of throat and lung trou-
bles. in all stages. is cast into the streets,
to be ground by the traffic and dried by
the sun into the form of impalpable dust
and then to be sfted about freely. OF
course only a small percentage of 1t falls
upon the candy exposed on the push-carts
but the chances of direct infection from
this source is rendered the greater by rea-
son of the fact that the candy, being
sticky, holds the dust and thus the stuff Is
taken straight into the mouth and stomach,
perhaps to set up infections of the most
dangerous kind in either the respiratory
or digestive tracts There is certain
degree of danger. as WELL in the exposure
of fruits to the dust of the streets. but not
so serious as with the candy, for the fruits
can be and often are and always should be
carefully wiped before being eaten. b.
nanas are virtually safe in this respect
as the outer covering is removed. Apples
peaches ana sucn FRUITS Dougnt from THESE
open stands should be similarly peeled.
Grapes are especially likely to spread in
lection, even though the skin of the grape
Is not taken into the stomach 1t would
seem to be within the province of the au-
thorities to require that all candy vendors
who use the streets should keep their
wares closely covered from the dust not
merely by flexible spreads, but by tight
glass cases. There is the same need Of
such a measure of sanitation as of the
rigid watchfulness now maintained over
the milk supply.

Not According to Business Presidents

1t has been urged in behalf of the pro-
posed act for the dismissal of all govern
ment clerks over the age of seventy that
the same plan is followed by the CONNER
cial establishments. This is untrue, in
more respects than one. In the first place,
many commercial establishments, notably
the Pennsylvania railroad, provide hand
somely for the retirement of their workers
on completeness, wholly out of the corpora
ton funds. Furthermore. practically all
business organizations draw no arbitrary
age line. whether they provide thus by
pension funds for the comfort of superan-
nuated employees or not. The rule of prac-
tice in business is to keep men at work as
long as they are capable of performing
their duties satisfactorily. The shrewd
business employer recognizes the truth that
approximation is not a matter of years of
life or years of service, but a matter of
bodily and mental conditions. Many
worker is superannuated at fifty, and
many another is competent at eighty. Yes
terday there died suddenly-his death being
due. 1t is believed, in part to his anxiety
caused by the threat of the passage of this
pending bill-a department clerk who had
reached the age of seventy-six. That man
was known one of the most valuable
clerks in the bureau. He did his daily stint
of work as we'll as his younger neighbor,
and was, moreover especially useful in his
knowledge of past performances of the
offices, precedents and decisions.
The man was far from approximation in
the sense of having passed his period of
usefulness. What he might have become
in ten years had not death struck him sud-
denly or disease fastened itself upon him
Tn al hic life mora ora dina lly tS not IN ho
point. The fact remains that he was six
years over the limit which is proposed
and twelve years beyond the age at which
military officers of the government must
retire, whatever their state of health or
degree of usefulness. If the Gfllet bill pro-
vided for the dismissal of all cler ks who
had passed the point of actual usefulness
there would be no just demur, even though
this might seem a cruel measure in view of
the years of faithful service of many who
would suffer. The principle of selection
would be based upon fitness and not mere
age. AS the proposition stands it is unten-
able from any point Of view, sentimental
or practical. 1t does not square with the
governments own performances in it's
treatment of its civil employees in the past,
and it is absolutely divergent from the pol
icy that has always obtained in the treat
ment of the military employees. 1t departs
from the essential principles of business. in
that it proposes to discard useful men. 1t
runs counter to the spirit of the civil serv-
ice law in that it disregards the doctrine of
merit the test of retention in office. 1t
offends the sense of righteousness in that
it reduces the faithful veteran government
worker in the degree of sympathetic con-
sderation shown him below the level of
the WORKOUT animal

John Paul Jones.

The proposition advanced by the D. A. R
that this government bring from France
the remains of John Paul Jones and give
them proper memorial interment deserves
favorable consideration by Congress The
sum involved Is trifing and the sentiment
reflected by the enterprise is emnently
praiSeworthy and patriotic. John Paul
Jones stands in the American mind as a
type of the young republics most valiant
sailors, one of the greatest heroes of the
days when the nation was taking root He
labored under handicaps sufficient to deter
ordinary men. but he was of a quality that
defied obstacles and throve on opposition.
HIS exploits during the revolution stand
practically alone as the sum of the achieve
ments of the colonists on the water, and
demonstrated the quality that was devel-
oped to such high degree curing the early
years of the republic, when the new flag
was to be seen in all ports. What the navy
accomplished against England in 1912 was
distinctly foreshadowed by the work done
by Jones in the first war. and today there
Is no surer type of the American genius for
maritime superiority that the man whose
bones rest in forgotten place In Paris.
The proposal that they be brought back
and inferred here with a suitable monument
to mark their resting place is in keeping
with the spirit which animates the Daugh-
tiers of the American Revolution and that
which was focused recently upon the enter
prise of bringing John Smithsons body
here to rest in the shadow of the beautiful
