THE DAY OF JUDGMENT.

Andrew Hamilton, the famous vel
low dog OF the insurance investigation.
has broken out in n fresh place and
gives the New York Herald what pur-
ports to be voucher for so. goo paid by
him TO the Republican national COM
mittee in 1895. Cornelius Bliss. who
was treasurer of the committee. denies
that any such voucher was ever given,
and he denies IT with a vehemence
which leads one TO suspect he has been
touched on a raw spot.
While it is hardly possible to believe
that so astute a combination as the Re
publican committee would give written
vouchers for money they knew was
stolen from the policy-holders OF an
insurance committee, It is equally Diff
cult TO believe that the trustees Of a
company would disburse $4,000 in one
lump without something to show for it..
To be sure. they have agreed to replace
almost as large q sum given for the
same purpose in 1900, rather than have
further publicity in the matter. con-
Tossing thereby their responsibility for
ualfeasance in office: but the ContFibu-
lions of 1900 are a matter Of testimony.
uncontradicted. so that Mr.. Bliss vir.

claim that he got $4,000 instead Of the

GAIT LAKES AWAKENING.

If any sign Of Salt Lakes awakening
were needed, the movement for civic
improvement association would furnish
It. Divided politically. torn by social
differences, distracted by factions, the
city has been forced ahead to its pres
ent size and Importance by the sheer
momentum of industrial and mining de-
velopment. Now comes the spirit Of
improvement, stronger than political
forces, ignoring social and religious d.
visions and combining progressive cit
liens of all beliefs and creeds into a
body which promises to be the most i'm
portant factor of all in the growth of
the city, In its unification despite pO-
litical factions, and in its Improvement
along the best modern lines.
The most important outcome of such
an association is the discovery it will
bring that every good citizen has the
same final aim in his activities; the
welfare of his city, the comfort of him
self and his neighbors, and the attain
ment of the best in life for everybody.
Whatever ones opinion on points where
men differ there are few who are not
anxious to see Salt Lake improved in
its every public aspect We are all
anxious to see clean streets, good sani-
tary conditions, fine schools. beautiful
parks and all the other accessories of
municipal progress. The only obstacle
TO the attainment of these things has
been the lack of unity among the peo-
-. "a
burdens of public service. an aversion
to the personal sacrifice which any
movement for civic progress demands.
It is evident that the men and women
of Salt Lake have reached the point
where they are ready TO make the effort
implied in the organization of a Civic
Improvement association. once organ
ICED, they will find it surprisingly easy
TO accomplish what they have planned
They will find public service improving
at once because their organization will
furnish a spur to public officials; streets
will be cleaned because responsible cit
liens will be ready TO criticise the fail
ure to clean the streets; private resi-
dences and yards will be better cared
for because every citizen viii feel that
his nefghbOr is doing his share toward
the general Improvement, and personal
pride will furnish an incentive TO the
good citizenship which begins at home.
There is practically no limit to the
good the association can accomplish,
and It will find public sentiment. the
public press and all good citizens ready
to cooperate in making Salt Lake the
beautiful city It should be.

MR.. HAMER's CANDIDACY.

AS a Democratic newspaper, The
Herald has no particular interest in the
fate of Republican candidates for Office
in Idaho or eIseW nere; but a serious in
Justice is being done Colonel Thomas
Hamer of st. Anthony. who aspires to
the vacant seat in congress now occu-
pied by BERTHE" French. Colonel Ha-
mer's enemies accuse him of first an
nouncing his candidacy through the
columns of the Deseret News, the organ
of the Mormon church. This is not
true; the first public intimation Of his
candidacy came in an interview with
him published I'm The Herald during the
See America First" conference. He
did not volunteer the statement, but in
reply TO a question by a reporter as to
his candidacy. he simply told what his
friends already knew, viz, that he was
a candidate The information was not
published in the Deseret News until
the following evening.

Mayor Thompson should veto the $50
appropriation to A. F. Lawson to pay
for a horse loaned by Lawson to his
brother, a city employe, the horse hav-
ing died while the brother was using it
for city work. The allowance of this
claim goes to furnish another illustra-
ton Of the ease with which those who
are supposed to have some political in
fuence can get money under this ad-
ministration. The Lawson claim was
presented to the last council eighteen
months after the alleged obligation had
been incurred. 1t was threshed out
thoroughly and payment was refused.
There is a rule which requires the pres
entation of all claims within one year
after their inception. Under this rule
alone Lawson Is barred from the public
treasury. The item should certainly
be vetoed.

AGE LIMIT FOR CLERKS.

The proposition TO arbitrarily reduce
the pay of all government clerks who
are more than s. years Of age to $1,000
a year, regardless of their ability to do
the work at which they are employed.
is naturally arousing a great deal Of
adverse comment. Representative Taw-
ney, chairman of the house committee
on appropriations, is responsible for the
suggestion. That It Will pass both
lieved If nature herself had fixed a
deadline there might be wisdom in the
idea No such deadline is fixed.
The government is paying to clerks
of 65 years of age and upward more
than s., 900, 900 a year. Seventy-seven
per cent Of the clerks will be affected,
for that proportion receives more than
81, 600 a year. The statement is made
on the authority OF department heads
that a great many of them perform
their duties more efficiently, more intel
Iigently than clerks of from Fl to 80
years Of age. Would it be fair to cut
them down to 81 900 a year when they
are capable Of earning more?
In his famous pension order President
Roosevelt declared that a man is par
TALLY incapable Of earning s. living at
So. and wholly incapable at 20. It may
be taken for granted, therefore, that
the chief executive is in sympathy with
Mr.. Tawney. The retiring age in the
navy is 81 years, in the army 64 years.
But life in the army or the navy is
much more exacting than the life Of the
average government department clerk.
The theory that a naval officer Of 81 or
an army officer Of 81, generally speak
ing, would not be equal to an arduous
campaign is pretty~nearly correct. 1t
does not follow from that, however,
that the usefulness of a clerk is de-
stroyed at S. or 70.
Only three of the justices OF the SUI
preme court of the United States are
under IS years of age. Justice Harlan
is 20, and so is Chief Justice Fuller.
Neither has talked of retiring. Justice
Brown is in his seventy-first year, and
Justices Brewer and Peckham are each
So Justice Holmes is IS. Speaker Can
non will be 20 years old a few weeks
hence. Many of the senators are more
than 60 years of age. Still they keep
working and drawing their salaries.
There can be no hard and fast rule
in this respect. The only rule that can
be made is that when a man ceases to
be useful, whether he is % years old OF
90. his services must be dispensed with
