AS rule, in making New Year re-
solves our motives are purely selfish.
Not usually do such resolutions give
place to thought of adding to others

few there are who think of sharing the
personal benefits OF such "self-denial"

PITMEN AND SWITCHMEN.

To the Editor of The Washington Times:
] read with interest the article and
editorial III your issue of the ID in
slant, on the recent increase OF the local
motormen and conductors pay
Now. how about the ''pitmen" and
switchmen? These men labor as hard
if not harder than the man on The front
and back end. In an early spring edi-
ton, one Sunday in April I think, The
Times printed an article on "A new
style of cave dweiler.' meaning, Of
course. the local '.pitmen.''
These men get $50 u day for ten or
eleven hours of peril. not work but
peril. not knowing when they may be
blinded a fate worse than death. or
their heads mangIed beneath the car
a was the case with one man when +
notored car. Just think of II, the
slightest touch of trolley to a wire
before the gong is given by the pitman
and that individual is either blinded or a
corpse. and If the dog on the brake
should fly off while the mans heae is
beneath the car he would never know
what hurt him.
Does the local company think it is
dealing fairly by the men when 1t in
creases the pay of the ones mentioned
and not the pisTen or switchmen?

Cabinet Flights of Poetry.

The industrial and commercial prog
ress of our country is due to the manu-
facturerS, who have through their busi-
ness of thirteen billion dollars annually
given to our agriculture its best and
greatest market
So speaks the esteemed Secretary of
Commerce and Labor in a signed
greeting to the New Year.
Now comes the no less esteemed
Secretary OF Agriculture in a similar
greeting to the newborn twelve
month and says:
All the gold mines of the entire world
have not produced since Columbus dis
covered America a greater value of gold
than the farmers Of this country have
produced in wealth in TWO years; the
products of the farm for this year alone
exports and imports in year.
So it would seem that even mem
bers OF the Cabinet view the world
through their Office windows. Glory
be to commerce and manufactures,
says Mr. Metcalf Praise be to agri-
culture, says Mr. Wilson. You pays
your money and you takes your
choice. And if any man in America
cannot find satisfaction in either of
these, let him turn his attention to
this, from the pen of the ever re-
spected and always literary Secretary
Of State:
II the press OF the world would adopt
and persist in the high resolve that war
should be no more, the clangor of arms
would cease from the rising of the sun
TO its going down, and We could fancy
that at last our ears, no longer stun
ned by the din of armies, might hear
the morning stars singing together and
ali the sons of God shouting for joy.
So, Hail Columbia. Sic Semper
Tyrannis! A happy New Year to
everybody, and the devil take the

1t is manifest that this so cents, if

has paid for the notary's full working
day. The time required for affixing
the seal is taken from time which the
Government owns. But the notaries
have not so argued; and their plea
that the afixing of seal took only a
moment or two" disregarded also the
rights of the notary not IN the Gov
ernment employ.
if clerks in the Government service
are to affix the seal of notary TO
certificates OF special assignment and
a thousand other papers they ought
70 dc so as employees OF the Govern
nent and be as completely barred
from exacting fee as the clerk who
supplies bidders with Information as
to contracts. All this is perfectly
plain Yet the practice of depart-
mental notaries to exact fees prevailed
in every department until the Fresi-
dents order was issued
So much for the Presidents knowl-
edge of the executive service. The
same argument sustains his interest
in that service. If the clerks tenure
OF Office is to be secured to him on
the basis of valuable services per-
formed, those services must be Sc
cured to the Government by every
reasonable safeguard. There must be
no more division of interest than in
any private business. Men in whom
the cause of civil service reform
arouses honest sympathy will be the
first to applaud this last progressive
step By one of their most active assoc
ciates.
