Thomas l.. James, who n few years
ago was postmas ter-general OF the
United states, contributes an article to
the North American Review, in which.
considering the highest interest of the
country. he deplores the fact that one
must regard THE United states as a
Parsmonious Employer" In private
life we are the worlds most generous
employers. paying salaries to those who
can give efficient service such as are
paid by no other people as a nation we
are the most narrow and Erudging in
our treatment of our public servants,
We expect the best service from our
judges and from our diplomats, but VIC
ara not willing to pay for it, and the
sane American can regard the inadequacy
of the compensation which American
public servants receive only with
regret and humiliation. Mr. James
expresses the opinion that the President
OF the United States should receive not
retiring pension of not less than $4,000
a year during life on condition that hc
should not engage in any secular bust
ness. Says Mr.. James:
president Roosevelt could not have
successfully called Elihu Root to his
official family, had 'Mr. Root not. by
