A DEPARTMENT CLERKS LIFE.
Observations of Veteran Employe of
the Treasury

I'm a recent debate at the Capitol con-
corning the employees of the civil branch
of the government stress was laid upon the
eagerness with which these positions are
sought by the public at large: that they
were positions entailing no work, and they
were upon the whole referred to in up-
complimentary terms" remarked a veteran
employee of the Treasury Department to
Star reporter.
ut is to be regretted that these structures
upon our civil employees cannot be replied
to at length and in detail, but permitting
general denial to suffice, allow me to call
attention to this act 1t was thought TO be
remarkable because there are so many ap-
plicants for government positions. Men
who have knowledge of the employment
of other men know that these applications
are about in proportion to the number of
vacancies to be filled, and that this same
rule holds true as to railroads and the en-
ployes in other callings- Thus, it is an
acknowledged fact that where one railroad
man is killed or discharged there are fifty
ready to step into his shoes. An adver
tisement for help In certain trades and
businesses will bring hundreds of responses.
And as to the desirability of government
clerical work as life occupation let me
say that although men seek these positions.
1t Is calling which should be the very last
for any young man to enter who has ambi-
lions higher than graded salary To
those who feel that a comfortable living

Its part of the business, this being
pleasant to strangers. But some men are
really witty, and their passing of the time

ony OF banging these metal keys to this

bright remark Is, the exception. While all
men think themselves humorists, very few
fill the part acceptably. 1t is usually the
same old gags, to which are returned the
same old forced smiles and regulation re-
plies.

lite remark calling our attention to our
error In these instances our smiles are
real and not of the regulation variety.
