notably small minimum, placing Washing
ton in class by itself for cleanliness.
1t is undeniably possible to prevent smoke
at the railroad terminals, through the adop-
tion Of electric power, or, II this Is i'm
practicable, to lessen 1t to a negligible point
by the use of anthracite fuel. OF the two
it is believed that the adoption OF motors
for making up trains and for hauling them
into and out of the train sheds is the more
feasible method.
In Chicago this railroad smoke and cinder
nuisance has reached such intoierable pro-
portions that the public patience has been
finally exhausted. and the city council has
finally taken steps looking to It's
abatement. A resolution has been In
troduced, under auspices which promise its
serious consideration and make its adop-
ton probable, providing that within three
years 1t shall be unlawful for any railroad
company using the track and terminals OF
the Illinois Central Company to use locomo-
tives within the corporate limits. The rese-
luton has been referred to the councils
local transportation committee with instruc-
tons to investigate thoroughly and report
working proposition.
The Illinois Central which Is the chief
offender. together with the other lines using
its tracks, has already. 1t Is understood.
moved In the direction of smoke elimina-
ton, having engaged in some inquiries az
to the feasibility of electric traction on It's
terminal tracks. Railroad officials as q rule
object to such measures, claiming that the
delay in changing from locomotive to motor
Is burdensome. In practice. however, this
delay can be brought to a very low point,
the motor being switched in behind the in
coming train and overtaking it when it Is
slowed and the locomotive being then sent
forward and switched off before the train.
pushed by the motor, has gained Roadway.
In good practice it is to be doubted if two
minutes would be lost in making the
change.
In many modern improvements in railroad
construction and equipment the leading
transportation officials have evinced
praiseworthy disposition to keep pace with
the requirements of good government and
artistic city development. The great ter
minal of the local roads is an evidence of
this willingness to contribute to civic at
tractiveness The new terminal of the
Pennsylvania in New York will be another
costly proof of the public spirit of the cor
poration managers. The next step after pro-
viding station buildings costing millions of
dollars IS to insure their freedom from de-
spelling influences, and it is a measure of
Seil-pfotection as wei as or municipal I'M
provement to adopt measures for the elm
nation of the smoke evil
Locally this subject calls for early atten-
ton. 1t Is possible to devise and adopt by
law. in season for the opening of the ter
minal station. some method of terminal
traction which will prevent smoke from this
source II the matter is taken under imme-
date consideration. Washington should not
lag behind Chicago in so important a meas
ure of Improvement.

This is certainly not an extravagant
family, nor is it yet exceptional 1t Is
fairly typical. The 800 clerk may enlarge
the miscellaneous appropriation or per-
haps take a slightly better house, or per-
haps undertake some system Of small saw
ings, such as by joining a building asso-
citation.
1t Is always to be remembered that pro-
motion in the departments is slow and
that a man may remain in the SO class
for half dozen years before he is raised
to a higher grade. Meanwhile his living
expenses have increased, what with the
gradual rise in the price of the necessities
and the growth of his children and posi-
bly, the coming of new ones. By the time
he gains the 800 ranks he is just able to
squeeze along. Maybe he is In debt, for
his schedule, as here given, makes no al
lowances for emergencies, such as pro-
longed Illness, accidents or sudden vista
tons from inconsiderate friends who cam
not be denied His old scale will not fit
the new conditions, and it automatically
expands to absorb the increase of income.
The same thing happens, in very many
cases, in the event of another promotion,
to the grade of 81 AGO a year. 1t Is only
when he gets into the 81 coo or the 81, 500
class that the self-respecting government
clerk is enabled to lay aside any appre-
ciable portion of his income as a perma-
nent saving or investment without heart
breaking self-denial.
For the great majority Of the depart
ment clerks the accumulation of a surplus
is virtually impossible as conditions OBJ
tain here, as the demands of the service
bear upon individuals. To make both ends
meet and leave a little margin for emer-
gencies or for house payments or other in
vestments calls for drudging parsimony
which brushes the vitality out of the de-
partment worker already menaced by the
routine of office with transformation into
q machine

Oratory.

The orator business as pnacticed today
Is not what it was long ago.
They don't stir the blood with the things
that they say,
Like the speakers the world used to know
They don't thrill the mind with some sally
of wit
Nor quote from the classical rhymes
That in earlier days made a palpable hit.
We are talking in dollars and dimes.
The American eagle the rostrum deserts,
For slumber has silenced his call;
The Goddess of Liberty picks up her skirts
And HES to the timber so tall.
The words that with sentiment swayed us
of yore
Are slaves in these practical times
To cold mathematics. And life is a bore
When they're talking in dollars and Dimes
