their belonging to the government.
There is a regular guild of them
and the emblem thereof ought to
be a three-leafed clover, one leaf
inscribed "Do as little as possible, "
another "Get as much for it as you
can," and third "Never let up
until pensions are secured"
1t is not only detrimental to the
service but also to the servitors.
Nothing so saps mans ambition,
destroys his energy, dims his in
tellect, and weakens his will power
as putting him in life position
with a comfortable salary. This
is especially true when the duties
are of a monotonous and routine
character. Washington is a won
derful city where one gets a
panoramic view of the people and
customs of all nations of the earth; !;
a city where one can daily witness
the workings of the machinery of
the greatest of all governments; a
city of museums. libraries, art
galleries and educational facilities
equalled by no other city in the
land. A four years residence
therein, if one appreciates and
utilizes it's advantages, is equal to
four years. training in first
class university. There are
numerous special schools in all the
professions managed by the bright
est talent in the world, whose ses-
sions are arranged with special
reference to departmental employees.
In the days prior to life tenure,
advantage was taken of these
opportunities of some of the
brightest men in the nation such
as German of Maryland, Wilson of
Washington and Crcssfeld of
Minnesota. and scores of others
that l might mention, fitted them
selves for distinguished public and
private careers while in the govern.
ment employ. This is now thing
of the past. If any one knows of
any distinguished man that has
graduated from the government
service since the appointments have
been made strictly on "merit" /
wish they would send me their
names. The ''lifer'' knowing lie
has a life time to take advantage of
these privileges aud opportunities
procrastinates. Soon an insiduous
lethargy, born of the security of a
sure life salary, takes possession of
him and he loses all desire for such
improvement. Man is so consti-
tuted, however, that he must do
something to occupy his time, OF
go crazy, and the average govern
ment employe occupies his leisure
in attending inane dress-coated
social functions that flourish in the
city, wears it out in billiard halls
and pool rooms, whiles it away in
poker resorts, or with disreputable
companions commits slow suicide
in still more disreputable pursuits.
Knowing his income is fixed and
permanent, he spends it all and it
is generally spent before it is secured
The Sauk Centre herald., 1905-05-25

and he spends his life time in paying
for dead horses. If he is promoted,
his wants and desires increase faster
than his salary and such promotion
brings him little or no relief. He
is constantly trying to do something
which no one has or ever will
accomplish, satisfy a champagne
appetite on beer salary. The only
thing he does outside of the per-
formance of his duties, is to aid in
keeping money in circulation, and
when the time comes when he can
no longer perform his duties, he
ends his career as he began, with
nothing. All he has accumulated
is expensive tastes and habits which
he has no means of gratifying and
he ekes out his existence, God only
knows how. met with hundreds
of just such cases in the city of
Washington and they form a
hideous testimonial to .'civil SER
vice reform" as now administered.
During my entire service as con-
gressman l did not meet single
employe of the government who
had been in the service for fifteen
years, who was good for anything,
but who asserted that if some friend
had pried him loose from his salary
ten years before, and turned him out
to battle with the world for his
living. it would have been the
greatest favor he could have con-
ferred upon him. There are scores
of bright young men and women
whom would delight to see re-
ceive the wonderful educational
advantages that few years resi-
dence in the wonderful city of
Washington affords, and if common
Justice prevailed in making appoint
ments, they could and would receive
them, but l would about as soon
see a bright young friend of mine
sentenced to the penitentiary for
life as to be compelled to pass his
life in subordinate clerical govern
ment position.

BOWEN IN DISFAVOR
= = WITH HIS SUPERIORS
President Displeased by the
Course of the Minister
to Caracas.
Special Dispatch to III. c.lr.

CALL BUREAU. POST BUILDING.
WASHINGTON, May 15.-It looks as If
Minister Bowen would pass his troubles
up to Castro. AS mentioned in The Call.
the expedient to putting the bulk of the
blame on the shoulders of the sly vene-
zuelan dictator will be resorted to by the
Minister to the South American republic.
Bowen does not seem to wish to face
the rigor of administrative cross-exam-
ination and 1T is more than likely that he
will suffer the consequences of his
charges against Assistant Secretary of
State Loomis.
Bowen explains that he has mot made
charges against Loomis in an official ca
pacity, but has simply told stories that
were current at Caracas"
The breach between Minister and ad-
ministration is not in any degree less
ened by the explanation and IL Is the
general opinion here that Bowen's ac-
tions are not regarded favorably by the
President.
Secretary Taft to-day handed to Bowen
a copy of the charges which Loomis had
fled alleging that the retiring Minister
had inspired the publication OF charges
which Bowen, in his official capacity as
Minister, felt 1t his duty to forward to
Washington. Bowen took the papers to
his hotel and will prepare a supplement
tary statement of his side of the case.
