Government Positions.
the Philadelphia Public Ledger.


The plan to retire aged government
clerks calls renewed attention to the
strange yearning after such cIerkships
Representative Grosvenor spoke truly when
he said that no greater harm could be done
young man than by giving him a place In
government department. There is moth.
ing In the pay or the prospect of advance
ment-the latter being purely fanciful-
that would make the position attractive tC
any young man Of reasonable ambition
Elderly clerks who have been many
years In the service are, as rule poorer
than when they began. They have lived
without luxuries. with few comforts, and as
old age comes on they find themselves un-
fitted for other work, and certain that II
turned out they would be helpless The
average clerk new in Washington lives far
beyond his means. He must either do this
or be content with the existence OF a hall
room hermit.
The subject Is a delicate one because OF
the reluctance to impose hardships on old
clerks. While they do their tasks there Is
an assurance that they will do them faith
fully. So long as this Is true, the plan OF
showing them aside to make room for 9
consignment of youngsters viii not receive
general approval.
To say that q man of sxty-fiye IS not
competent to perform a simple routine. to
which for half his life he has been accus-
toned Is an especially marked folly. In
view of the circumstance that members oil
the Supreme Court do not retire for age un-
til seventy. and that a number of the ablest
and most active senators have passed or
are approaching the four-score point.
Some legislation. to take effect hereafter,
for limitation of service to definite term
of years might be beneficial, for 1t would

THE PALAIS ROYAL announces
for tomorrow the annual grand
spring opening of completed
stocks, which include every detail
OF milady's costume. Prof Gar
riott was quoted in Saturdays Star
as SAYING ''the winter is over" and
II seems quite apropos to find a page
In today's Tissue devoted to the
Palais Royals spring opening"
When we reid OF "a fountain of
real water. growing trees and lovely
flowers, we know that great prepa-
rations have been made. The piece

with artlstically gowned women and
children in the foreground. There
seems not doubt the Palais Royal
opening" Will prove success from
an esthetic View. The exhibit of
fashionable garments will be made
all the more attractive, and not the
least bit lesa practical. especially
so when the list Of opening SOU
renirs' is studied. Eminently prac-
teal are these complimentary
prices. Dollars are saved I'm the
more expensive things, and tho saw
ing OF pennies in the cost of each
less expensive article will soon ag-
gregate more dollars.
The Palais Royal page includes
list of the regular prices. and of
the complimentary quotations for to-
morrow's opening" This list will
be well worth careful study before
visiting the store. and IL will prove
a convenient shopping guide while
there.
A commendable feature OF the
Palais Royal opening" is the prom
Use of harmonious displays. Illus
trated in the fact that milady can
visit the various departments and
find the suit, hat, parasol, bag,
belt, gloves and stockings to wear
In harmony. Or. she selects dress
goods and finds Innings, trimmings
laces, ribbons. buttons and notions
to harmonic.
Tomorrow opening evidently
represents the climax OF the season.
The early display of millinery. later
exhibit of suits and last weeks chill
drens opening made interesting
pages in late editions of The Star.
but today's page tells of q perfected
exhibition of milady's costume in
every detail. There'n be no better
or more fitting opportunity TO make
selections this side OF Easter.

THE GREATEST RATTLEsHIP
Uncle Sans Louisiana" in Many
Respects Superior to All
Others.

The battleship Louisiana, which rep
resents the most advanced type of the
fighting machine ever constructed, has
returned to her dock at the Newport
News shipyars after her speed trial and
is now receiving her armament and be-
ing fitted out for sea, writes w. E. Cur
tbs. in Chicago Record Herald. In sew
eral particulars the Louisiana exceeds
all other ships Of all other navies, and
properly differed and manned, she
ought to whip anything that floats.
In speed, armament and coal-carrying
capacity, which are the three essentials
for a man-of-war, she surpasses the best
and the latest and the strongest battle
ships in the European navies. She is $50
feet long, 1910 feet beam and 246 feet
draft, with a displacement or 10000
tons.
Her speed on her trial trip averaged
1873 knots per hour; she can carry 2,3OO
tons of coal, which will enable her to
steam 1000 miles at a speed Of 12 knots,
and her armament is four 12-inch guns,
eight eight-inch guns and 70 seven-inch
guns She will have As officers and a
crew Of $40 men.
The strongest ship in the British
navy is the Edward VII, Of the same ton
mage d6.J0O). a speed Of 1876, or two
tenths Of a knot less than the Louisiana;

MOST HoMIcIDAL NATION.
The United States rs Said to Have
That Unenviable Dis
tinction.

Says the Philadelhpoa Record Ac-
cordlng to the unofficial statistics
gathered in 1905, as in previous years,
by the Chicago Tribune there were
1912 homicides committed in the
United States during the twelvemonth
| just ended. This country remains on
the bad eminence it has long occupied
in the history of crime; indeed, we
have Increased our lead for the num-
Der of homicides was greater by $40 in
1905 than it was in the previous year.
The record constitutes a shocking in
dictment.
With the single exception Of the
Italians, the American people are the
most homicidal nation N the civilized
world. In fact, we are running neck
and neck with Italy with respect to
the ratio of violent crimes resulting in
death. In the latter country the homi-
cides number 105 per million Of in
habitants per year; in this country
last year the ratio was 115 per mill
lion.
A comparison with the criminal sta
tistics Of other leading nations will
serve to emphasize the indictment and
make It positively terrifying. Thus the
annual average ratio of homicides to
population is 13 per million to Ger
man, 10 per million in France and 27
per million in the United Kingdom.
One reason for these frightful con-
ditions is the laxity Of the administra-
tion Of the Ratably, therefore, murder
and manslaughter are four times as
frequent in this country as in Eng
land, Scotland and Wales, and nine
times as frequent as in criminal law
in this country. In England one out
of four homicides is convicted of muir
der and pays the extreme penalty for
his crime. Moreover, justice is not
only reasonably sure, but swift. The
legal executions In this country num-
bered 1873 last year, which compare
lively to a total Of 9,212 homicides is
an almost insignificant proportion;
and everybody is familiar with the
truth that criminal justice in the Unit
ed States has heels of lead The other
main reason for the appalling fire.
quency of murder In this country is
the prevalent habit Of carrying con-
cealed firearms. The ready pistol
makes murder easy. Restriction Of the
sale Of deadly weapons is an urgently
needed reform.
