Uncle SAINTS veteran Regiment


There are SIG clerks in the employ
of the government who have reached
the age, Of three-score years and ten.
Most Of them are in the department of
the interior, where IT. people past 20
years of age are at work, day after
day. In the treasury department ia
tried and trusted clerks have passed
mans allotted span-a fact brought
out In most dramatic way by spec
ial message sent to the house of rep
resentatives last September, giving de-
tails concerning this patriarchal regi-
ment of 676 people employed in the
various departments. 1t is significant
that only one of the 676 is on the
civil service commission, and that
commission is the body which has
power to retain the service of clerks
and prevent removal except for a good
cause. There are 76 printers in the
government printing office who have
handled the stick and rule for over
half century and have passed the
seventeen year-stone in life. Forty
three of the veterans of three score
and ten are in the agricultural depart
ment. In the war department there
are GO graybeardsS still at work, al
though they have long since passed
the age at which officers are retired.
One wonders whether. like Charles
Lamb, they have worked until the
wood of the desk has entered into their
souls. The simple presentation of
the facts, without comment, to the
housesof representatives, should pro-
duce prompt and effective action to-
ward giving faithful, loyal and eff
cient clerk something to look forward
to besides helpless and salaryless
old age; and it may be that action
taken in this matter would be the first
movement onward to the dream that
has fioated through many mind of
late years. pension for all helpless,
aged people who have faithfully per-
formed their share Of the worlds work
while they had the strength to do it.

aHoman, and aLsdx.n

A judge at Derby, Conn.,, has Just
ruled That the term woman" applied
to a woman, is as honorable as "lady."
In court female witness was referred
to by the, counsel on the other side as
this woman" whereat the person to
whom the phrase was applied objected
strenuously. Was she justified in do
ing so? The Judge did not think SO,
but there was something in her I'M
dignation itself which seems to indi-
cate that she detected tone of dis
paragement in the lawyers utterance;
in which case. Of course. her wrath
was quite natural.
1t all depends. When employed with
the Intention of respect woman" is
more honorable. that "lady." just as
Lincoln's "He looks like MAJ" APP
piled to Whitman. was much more a
compliment that "He looks like a gem
tleman" would have been. Whether,
in the abstract, the term woman" il
nObler than "lady" can be determined
by very simple test. Take the quota
tions, "a perfect woman; .nobly plan
ned" and "Earth's noblest thing a
woman perfected Change the word
woman" in each case to "lady"-and
see what you get.
Yet it is possible for the sweet old
word to be used contemptuously, as
this Derby lawyer probably employed
1t. When an Odious male person, filled
with q sense of his own grandeur, be-
gins a remark to a person of the OPP
posite sex, Now, my good woman .
she is perfectly justified in taking Of
tense. 1t is not the term woman,
that offends her. but the flavor Of con-
descension In the remark. h n
To put 1t briefly. It takes q gentle
man to use the word woman" and
make it express the honor that be-
longs to it., Men who are not gentle
! men had better stick to the term

JAPAN AFTER SHIPPING.
Trying to Obtain Control Of Pacific
Merchant Marine.

3
The Japanese are becoming very
aggressive In their efforts to secure
control of shipping on the Pacific
ocean. Since the close of the war with
Russia the nation has been taking
every possible means to monopolize
the carrying trade of that ocean, and
the indications are very strong that
1T will succeed. to a large extent, in
carrying it's plans into execution. It
is now negotiating, according to Har-
vey D. Goulder, president of the Mer-
chant Marine league of the United
States for the purchase of many
United States ships engaged In the
foreign trade of the Pacific. 1t is in,
position to operate these ships much
. more cheaply than can be done by citi-.
zens Of the United States, owing to the
cheaper labor of Japan and the smaller
requirements Of Japanese sailors in
the matter Of food and accommoda-
tions, while, in addition to- these ad-
vantages, the Japanese government
also pays liberal subsidies to its fner-
chant marine.
There is Japanese line consisting
of three moderate sized steamships
running from Yokohoma to San Fran
cisco which receives $S00,000 year in
subsidies,t and it completes with the
Pacific Mail line of this country, which
last year received $4,000 from this
government for carrying the mails
The Pacific Mail line has five ships,
any one of which is larger and better
equipped than the best of the three
Japanese steamers. Naturally this
competition must be ruinous to the
American line, and the result is that
Japan has obtained an option on the
Pacific Mail for the purchase of its
five steamships.
A similar line of five fine American
steamships, each of which received
last year from $4,000 to $4,000 from
our government, runs from Seattle to
the Orient, in competition with a
smaller Japanese line, which receives
annually from the government of
Japan 100000 in the form of sub
sidy, and with British line of a
smaller number of ships that receives
an annual subsidy of 100000 from the
British government These ships, too,
the Japanese are trying to purchase,
and the indications are that they will
succeed.
Another Pacific line which they are
seeking to absorb is composed of three
up.to-date American steamers, which
run from San Francisco to Hawaii,
Samoa, New Zealand and Australasia.
This received from the United States
government last year $685., 900 and its
owners claim that it lost $4,000 in
operating its ships.
The ambition of the Japanese to con-
troll the shipping interests of the Pa
cific is a natural and praiseworthy one,
coming at the close of it's victorious
war with Russia, but, naturally, it has
aroused the protest of American ship
ping concerns. Leaders in this indus
try are taking all measures within
their power to place obstacles in the
way of Japan's advance in her progress
toward the goal which she has set for
herself, and the prospect of a mer-
chant marine war between this coun-
try and the dominion of the Mikado is
becoming more pronounced every day.
