No improvements for coan River.

Coan river, one of the more important
tributaries of the Potomac near Its mouth,
will not be improved, as was desired by
the residents of that section of Northum-
berland county, Va, residing on the water
way. There is a good channel in the river
from the Potomac to Coan wharf and
steamers from this city make frequent trips
there 1t was proposed to deepen the river
from Coan wharf to Rowelfs landing, about
a mile and half farther up the stream.
The United States engineers office made
an examination of the proposed new chan
mel and estimated that to dig channel ten
feet deep and one hundred feet wide would
cost $4,000, and that about 1900 per year
would be required TO keep the channel open.
Col Hoxie, former engineer officer in
charge of the Potomac and its tributaries,
in reporting on the proposed Improvement.
stated that he could not see how the amount
of business that would be done in Coan, in
addition to that already being done, would
justify the expenditure. The chief of en-
gineers also put his seal of disapproval on
the project, and 1t is more than probable
that Congress will agree with the engineers
when the bill making an appropriation for
the work comes before 1t.

Lawson
inn Court

Iawson's enemies have been
trying their best to get back at
him ever since he began his
merciless attack upon the "Sys-
tenn" twenty-one months ago,
in Eyerybody's magazine.
Malicious utilization, threats
Of suits, traps laid for him at
every turn-with the Rookie
fellers, Addicks and big insur-
ance men perkins, Mccall
and McCurdy) all arrayed
against him. All attacks have
failed.
The last was a suit for Grim
inal libel-quashed by the
Grand Jury of Boston after a
very few minutes elaboration.
Lawson's story of the court

On His Own Responsibility.

Secretary Shaw in tentatively announcing
a plar said: II do this on my own re-
sponsibility. l have referred 1t to no one,
and it commit nobody. l do not expect 1t
to be popular with the clerks nor popular
with civil service reformers, nor popular
with people generally. l do think, how
ever, 1t has in it's favor the logic of hui
man experience, and that it's adoption
would counteract some of the weaknesses
of the service it now exists. While ad
hitting that much can be said against it,
only claim that much be said for it, and
throw ii out not as mature recommended
ton, but a suggestion worthy-of consid-
Grafton, and for what it is WORTH
Let the new clerks be selected as they are
now by competitive examination, and be ap-
portioned among the several states and ter
ritories. Let them come in under a law lin
iting their term to six years. at the eXpira-
ton of which they are ineligible. except by
executive order, for chiefs of divisions and
similar positions where an element of initia-
tive and general supervision prevails. These
executive orders should be for a period of
time not to exceed six years, and should be
predicated on the record actually made by
the clerks, and wholly free from political
consideration. This will give the govern
ment fresh blood for the routine work and
experienced clerks for the more important
and supervisory places.

The Secretary's Address.

After preliminary remarks by President
James A. Sample of the treasury branch
as to the objects and aims of the organiza-
ton, Secretary Shaw was presented. He
said in considering civil service retirement
two ultimate objects much be kept promi-
nenty in mind. First, the good of the
service, and. second, the good Of the seIv-
ant While this organization is primarily
interested IN the personnel of the service,
l am satisfied it would not advocate any
measure that would in any way prejudice
the service ITSELF" said the Secretary.
He sa Id he knew of no labor more en-
phaticaily drudgery than that performed by
a large majority OF government clerks at
Washington. While all work is drudgery,
most of the worlds toilers are permitted
to witness affirmative results. the inspira-
ton of which is most helpful to the indi-
vidual It is drudgery to plant, to till, to
harvest but the character of the work
changes with seasons. and hopes and full
ailments afford constant Inspiration.

PLAN OF RETIREMENT
Secretary ShaW's Suggestions
to Government Clerks.
LIMITED PERIOD OF SERVICE
Life in Departments Described as I'm
interesting Drudgery.
HOPES FOR SUCCESS OF SCHEME
Good of the Service and Good of the
Servant Main Points
Considered.
LIMITED PERIOD OF SERVICE
HOPES FOR SUCCESS OF SCHEME

In an address before the United States
Civil Service Retirement Association last
night Secretary of the Treasury Leslie M.
Shaw expressed the belief that the lot In
life of government clerks would be i'm
proved by provision retiring them perma-
nently from the public service at the ex-
piratiOn of limited period. not to exceed
six years. He tentatively announced a re-
tirement plan, along these lines, whose
adoption he said would counteract some of
the weaknesses of the service.
This tentative plan. he said, must not
apply to clerks now in the service. and
must never apply to skilled technical clerks
and operatives who get inspiration from
their work and improve from year to
year. The ordinary clerk will do much
ton of three years as he can after fifteen
years" Secretary Shaw said this plan will
give the government fresh blood for the
routine work and experienced clerks for
the more important and supervisory places.
Secretary Shaw characterized the depart
ment service as zone horrible. long. ever
lasting. embarrassing drudgery," and said
he would be glad to see a really practical
plan for the retirement of the clerks sue
ceed But" re added don't ask the gov
eminent to put you a stipulated allow
ance, like a little child. Stand on your own
feet"
The meeting was under the auspices of
the treasury branch of the parent organi-
cation, which, since its formation last Au-
gust, has taken an active part in promoting
the retirement scheme. More than LOCO
clerks were present.
