THE WOMAN CLERK IS GOING

1 talked about 1t did not attract the ar- tention 1t reserved IL n1aue us iin- pression on the Senate itself, but the country at large did not read 1t. Many I asked him one day why he dId not de- l liver that speech at the beginning Of the discussion. He replied that it mad taken the midnight oil of too many
 nights to be gotten ready in that tune. | There is now a collection of all rne | speeches delivered on the rate bill put up in bound form. Each Snator and Rep resentative has limited number of copies at their disposal A mere glance shows the debate to have been the most vcluminous in the history of Congress StiIl Beggipg Away.
 One of tae hardest working men around Washington today is former Rathbone, latter director of posts In Cuba It will be recalled that he was imprisoned in Cuba on a charge of mis- apprcpriating Cuban postal funds. He was released under the amensty act | He claims that General Wood was en- | tirely responsible fer it because he
 stood in Woods way From the day
 moment he has been trying to get Con
 gress to investigate the casa and give | him whataver exhortation that inves-
 tiEation may show him entitled to
 gtion. am sure that exhoEoration will follow. I simply ask Congress to
 find out for itself whether my aIlega- tions are true or untrue and will abicc | the result with ConIfdence."
 MT. Rathborne has gotten an enter
 ing wedge in tkat bids fair to result In
 the investigation he seeks. If his pre-
 dictions are justified there will be some
 rottenness shown up that not only in- wolves General Wood. but Secretary
 Root and the White House itself Rethbone has spent practically every
 thing he has trying to clear his name.
 But he says so long as he has life he will not cease to work for the yindlca- I tiop to which he knows himself to be entitled.
 1 A Dangerous Swing.
 It Is learned from inside sources that President Roosevelt has invented a new swing of the big stick. He is | said to have grown tired of the uR-
 willingness of Congress 10 make ap- propria.ions which he thinks the Phil ippines ought to have. and that course | of discipline behind the presidential woodshed is in store for the Capitol l Branch of Government. It is said l that he is planning to take Congress
 across his knee aud tell 1t to appro- priate the money or turn the Philip pines free. It Is said that his aitera- | tive proposition of turning the Philip | pines. free will embody the course pur- sued by this government in giving Cuba her independence. If this pre-
 diction should come true there viii be some lively times around these dig- glngs- Dut in the end Il Is pretty safe ! to say. that Roosevelt will win. Since I he won his fight for d lock canal at Panama, Washington has lost corff-
 dence in the independence of Con- gress.

Washington, July 2I-(Speclal. 1.-The woman clerk in the Washington de- partments Is going. Inch by Inch she is being crowded out by her brother. and at some remote time she will dis appear. Already you can go around the Comerce and Labor building and find her conspicuous by her absence. Secretaries Cortelyou and Metcalf just would not have her. When the Civil Service certifes name to them, or set of names, they always choose one oi undoubted mascultnity. They arc to be found in many of the Bureaus of the Department of Commerce, but in these cases 1t is In the Bureaus which had been established prior to the crea- tinn of the ninth department. The wo- man clerk Is also gradually yielding up her position in the other depart inents. As Postmaster General MT. Cor telyou is following out the policy in stituted by him as Secretary of Com meree and Labor. Secretary Taft s also Secretary Root and Secretary Wilson. Tho other Secretaries are gradually 4ol- lowing suit and some fine morning when all those now in the service and a few more yet to come in. get to be over thirty by their own admission the woman clerk will be no more.
 Why Is It.
 Why this discrimination against the woman clerk. I havo been trying to find out. but give 1t up. IL Is pretty generally admitted that averaged up they will do more work in a years time than a man: that they do 1t in most instances moro quickly: Ask department official why and he will tell you that men are better fitted Tor the work than women. He will tell you that women clerks interfere with the freedom of the men clerks. that in many instances some old maid will ob- Ject to men in their offices working in their shirt sleeves and in many ways hinder the comfort Of the men clerks. Then they say that Cupid has some thing to do with it. There are plenty and femeffne elements of departmental cler%dom You can go around any Of the departments where women are em- ployed and see courting couples stand chatting together on the time Uncle Sam pays them for.
 The gradual displacement of women tn the government departments is Tn keeping with the difficulties she Is en- counterine in the business world. One are turning her out and getting men In her place. Census figures show that the pronortion of female clerks has dim inished more than twenty per cent.
 A Great Speech.
 carefuf reading of the speech ue- road rate bill and a comparison of it with the completed text of the bili as if was enacted into iaw.Nshows that the ideas advanced bv him in the speech were more generally adopted than those advanced bv almost any other ,livered at the openine of the debate instead of rieht at the tail end it would have attracted the hroadest at- tention Ru coming as It did at the tail end of the debate, when the whole country was tired of hearing the bili

Better Day Coaches in Demand.

Philadelphia Press.
 There is scarcely a railway acci- dent in this country nowadays in which the fact is not recorded that the sleeping cars or the Pullman chair cars stood the crash without per- ceptible effect, although the passen- gers in the smoker and the day coaches were cruched or ground to death. And the statement is a fact The reason for this is that the Pull man cars are built with a view to safety and the protection of passen- gers. They are composed largely of steel carefully constructed and are intended when composing a train of similar cars to form a rigid and prac- tically solid mass capable Of sustain ing great shocks and impact. On the other hand, day coaches and Fnnokers and combination baggage and smoking cars are of very fiimsy construction when compared with Pullman cars.

Again the subject of suitable "en- titiement" for the people of the United States is being discussed. To make use of the term Americans" as distinct i've name for the inhabitants of this nation looks as If Uncle sam was try ing to spread his own blanket all over two continents. but what is to be doncT Ours Is the biggest and the strongest nation in the Western Hemisphere and as we have appropriated the word "AmerIcan" we suppose 1t will have to go at that We note that The New York Mail suggests that samland would be proper word and would be honoring Uncle Sam. If that Is adopt ed the people as a whole would be called Samlanders and that sounds too much like salamanders to be desir- able. We suspect that we'll keep the present name and let all the lesser principalities go hang

AN INVENTED POST.

To speak of inventing fence posts would have sounded absurd to our fore zathers. All the invention they did in that line was to go Into the woods and cut down young trees of the right siae, or to split the posts from the larger growth. We have seen posts of chestnut that had remained firm and good for nearly generation, and posts of the best grades of whhe-oak would last from twelve to twenty years. But the day of such posts has passed in the old settled portions of the coun- try. Not only Is there great and con stantly increasing scarcity of suitable timber. but what there Is left is too valuable for other purposes All this renders the following from The New York Commercial of interest:
 with wire fencing Is made of steel and concrete, with a four-inch triangle top and an eight-ineh triangle base with the corners rounded. The regula- ton posts are 1-2 feet long and will take a 4S-inch fence, permitting of l-2 feet being buried in the ground. Embedded in the concrete is a woven wire and steel post which is, of suffi- &tNaA tEduELn 10 support a renee, but additional strength Is given by the con- crete. which also preserves the steel, 1nasuuch as no parts are exposed. In &heff manufacture steel tube moulds are used that produce a smooth sur face. which will withstand the ele- meuts. The staple fasteners are so ar ranged that they can be attached to any kind of woven wire or netting as well as barbed wire, and are put on after the posts are made and can be taken of or replaced, as desired The mnrnf al Enu al ures Of the posts. consisting of a se- rfes of small holes. piercing right and left flange alternately. through which the stables are Inserted and clinched with hammer.
 This Is not surprising when we con- sider the many and various uses to which concrete is now put. and how that material and steel and iron arg fast taking the place of wood for all kinds of purposes. The farmer who stilI has timber left on bis land can go out and cut down young pines or other growth to put his wire fencing on and in two or three years at most some of them will begin to decay so that he must commence repairing and keep at 1t. This is not only trouble and an expense, but the rotting posts weaken his fences at various points so that there is never any assurance of safety from the intrusion or stock
 Posts made entirely of steel would Do expensive. besides the liability to rust and break. Concrete alone would not bear the strain put on 1t. but core of steel and complete covering Of concrete ought to make an ideal fence post for almost any situation. The steel gives the necessary risieity and tho concrete acts as a preservative for the steel. so that the combination should be very near a perfect post for any position. An invented fence post Is good thing.

That Mrs Leslie Carter, of whom the papers have had a good deal to say of late, has gotten the caIculators very much tangled. She was recently mar ried to Mir. Payne and the marriage Hi- cense put her age at thirty years. The records, however, show that she was married to Mir. Carter twenty-six years ago and she has a son, Dudley Car ter, who is twenty-five. All these dates and figures are confusing, to say the least of 1t, and now they have quit asking about the age of Ann and have changed the question to How old is Mrs. Carter-Payne?"
