The Bathing Girl.

The July number Of the Ladies'
Home Journal is adorned with
cover design showing a fascinating
bathing girl dressed in a brick-dust
suit, seated on a storm-beaten bouI-
der on the edge Of wash-day sea of
suds and bluing.
That picture is refreshing to an
inlander when the thermometer reg
listers 100 degrees In the shade. but
at the seashore it might be open to
criticism. To begin with, no woman
with half the pretensions to comeli-
ness exhibited by this picture of the
bathing girl ever gets as near to the
water as the picture places her; nor
do the ladies carry models of the key
to the Bastile as wrist bangles when
engaged In the undress parade Of the
strand-where they hide the keys to
their dressing-rooms diligent search
and careful inquiry has failed to dis
close, but surely not on their wrists;

Arguing that there Is no need and no

George r. Pecs. general counsel of the
Chicago, Milwaukee and ST. Paul rail-
way, last evening. in an address at
Denver, replied, in effect, to the recent
speech of President Roosevelt there on
the same question
Admitting that the Supreme Court had
definitely held that Congress has the
power to make rates or TO authorize a
commission to make them. Mr.. Peck
protested that there is too much dis
position to blame all troubles to the rail
roads, and declared the people really
concerned are awakening to the fact
that they have been deceived as to the
general demanu or need for regulatiye
legislation.
Rebates and Determinations. declared
Mr.. Peck, are the evils TO which there
is objection. and for the remedying Of
which IL is proposed to enlarge the In
terstate Commerce Comuission's s powers.
R,st in fact these evils are already reach
ed by the Elkins act, under which in
functions have been secured that put an
end to rebate giving. The rebate issue is
in fact now purely an academic one
AS to commissi on-made rates, Mr..
Peck pointed out that a railroad could
cat a commissions rate just as easily
as one of its own making. The Esch-
Townsend bill he believed to be clearly
unconstitutional, certainly Illogical,
awkward and uCScientific-

HALF PAY PENSION FOR OLD
GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES

The civil service employees. classified
and unclassified, in all departments OF
the Federal Government in this city will
hold a meeting at the c.. A r. Hall next
Monday evening to hear the reading of
bill on the retirement of those who
after twenty wears OF faithful SerV-
ice. have become disqualified, or those
who have reached the age of seventy
years.
j. w. Buck. one of the committee. who
has been prominent in bringing the
question of retirement on half pay Of
the Governments aged and disabled en-
ployes, has prepared a bill TO be read
at the meeting which provides in part
as follows:
That on and after July l. 1906, there
shall be retired from active service all
such employees In the civil service as
shall have become permanently dis
abled by reason of age or other cause OF
iufirnity incurred in the service, and
who shall have served faithfully in the
employment of the Government for not
less than twenty years consecutively or
at intervals in the classified or unclasSt-
fed service"
1t is held by those who have this
meeting in charge that there should be
no discrimination and that the bill
should cover those of the classified and
unclasstied service and also those in the
service OF the Senate and House of Rep
resentatives, the Navy Yard, Govern
ment Printing Office, Bureau of EngraV-
ing and Printing, and in fact all
branches OF the Government service.
AT the meeting called for next Monday
night IT Is expected that the various
committees and a set of officers will be
named whose duty il will be to get to-
gether and prepare bills covering the
necessary points and thus make a start
that it is hoped will result in success

An Ominous Portent.

Chicago has given an ominous
sign 1t is showing symptoms of in
terest in a moral issue that has here
tofore been supposed to have, for Chi
cago, merely an academic interest
The Windy City Is actually worrv-
Ing about whether it is legally mar
ried or not.
it appears that the Illinois legis-
iature, dominated, no doubt. by rural
narrowness that could not sympathize
with the larger aspirations and in
terests of Chicago, passed a law pro-
viding that neither party to a divorce
should remarry within one year from
the date of the decree. The law took
effect July 1. Query: Does it reach
back over the year ending on that
day, and illegalize the marriages of
divorced people who, without waiting
the prescribed year, had been remar-
ried inside that period?
Some of Chicago's judges have
held that the law is retroactive and
some have held that it is not. The
legal question is obviously too deep
Tor laymen when Chicago lawyers
cannot agree about it. What inter-
ests the outside world is that Chi
cago should be worrying at all about
such minor affair. 1t evidences a
tendency to scruples even to squeam-
ishness that has never been attributed
TO Chicago In the past. When Chi
cago manifests a disposition to allow
mere technicalities of law to inter-
fere with the conduct OF leading
business it is time for all Industrial
enterprise to bestir itself and look
to its protection If Chicago is going
to worry thus about so trifiing a de-
tail as the regularity of its mar
riage certificates. the next thing will
be interference with the slaughtering
industry on the ground of cruelty to
animals

Sanitation viii receive the first and
vigorous attention of the Panama Canal
Commission, according to formal
statement by Chairman Shonts.
Alarming reports from the canai zone,
which have lost nothing in transmission,
have led to the making of this state
meut Of policy.
Before pressing the actual work of
construction with the utmost energy,
the plan VIII be TO achieve as nearly as
possible ideal health conditions, to pro-
vide comfortable homes for employees.
and 10 give them means of recreation
and enjoyment that VIII relieve the aH-
ful monotony OF life on the isthmus
Already, according TO the chairman,
twelve and one half per cent OF the en-
ployes are at werls on these sanitary
and related works.
The facts about yellow fever and its
alleged rarages are stated thus: With
nearly 1000 employees In the zone there
were two deaths and twenty cases IL
May; four deaths and thirty cases In
June; in July, to the 9Th, there had
been no new cases and only one canal
eInploye was then under treatment
Reports that wages or employees have
been reduced were also denied by the
chairman, who states that, on the other
hand, wages have been materially in
creased, and the general policy is to
encourage the men by promoting the
deserving ones from lower TO higher
ranks of the service.
As to the exact progress of work at
the isthmus, Engineers Hams and Har-
rod, of the commission, have gone 70

The New Secretary.

The entire country commends to-
day the Presidents selection of Elihu
Root as the successor to the late
John Hay. The post is of the great
est Importance. 1t has just been re-
linquished by one of the greatest men
in our national life. 1t will require
at the outset the greatest statesman
snip. 1t is rare Endorsement, then,
Tor any man that he should be re-
sarded by all his countrymen as es-
pecially qualified to fill such an Of
flee.
The selection commends itself for
many particular reasons Mr.. Root
Is no stranger to the Cabinet. His
long service as the successor to
General Alger in the War Depart
ment not only acquainted him with
the methods and restrictions of the
executive departments, but provided
him with an intimate knowledge of
the new problems in national admin
1stration which were evolved bv the
served as Secretary of State, Temporal
rlly, it is true, but long. enough to
prove his capacity. He has the law
yer's temperament Indeed, he sac
rifices for this public service what
has been called the unchalleneed
primacy of the New York bar and
the richest law practice in the
world He has stamped upon Wash
1ngton, as upon New York, the per-
sonality of a big man, big in grasp.
broad in view, and powerful in action.
With all its difficulty, then, the
task of finding a man to take I'D the
work put down by John Hay has
teen accomplished. The Presidents
hands have been strengthened. And
the public confidence in the Admin
istration will be more than main
tanned by the proven wisdom, tact.
foresight, and even Judgment of the
new Secretary Of State.

A Well Earned Rest.

Sounding the alarm that Cabinet
officers work too hard can hardly
have been pleasant duty for the
Surgeon General of the Navy, DR..
Rixey, but he showed the courage of
his convictions in his outspoken COM
ment at Cleveland upon the death of
Secretary Hay.
His naming of Postmaster General
Cortelyou as another man who works
too hard-putting too much "concen-
tration" on every detail of the work
before him and rushing along the
official path day by day-only serves
to call attention to the fact that this
is exactly what nearly every member
Of the Cabinet does, day in and day
out
Compared with. the year-long grind
of the Cabinet officials, the short pc
riod of official service each winter
by Senators and Representatives
seems like the Quintessence of ease
just a little squirt when the weather
is cold and then rest of at least
six months, when the Cabinet men,
ber is having his hardest period of
service in the sweltering city
To the name of Cortelyou may well
be added those of at least five other
Cabinet members, all of whom are
working at a faster clip than nature
intended.
With the summer now at hand,
with the new fiscal year launched
properly and the prospect Of another
hard official winter ahead, the Cabinet
officer has earned a good rest from his
heavy labors. The American people
cannot afford to have their great pub
lie servants like Hay cut off in the
height of their powers as sacrifice
to overwork To those who know
the tremendous responsibilities of
Cabinet officer and the inestimable
public value Of his services when
conscientiously rendered, his taking
of a well-earned rest in the torrid
season will be commended as not only
duty to himself but as an earnest
Of renewed and greater usefulness to
the nation when he returns to his Of
fetal post after such recuperation.
