The Laughter of Wealth.

Miilionaires who laugh are rare.-Andrew Carnegie
Smile out upon me. joeund sun.
And bid the world be fair:
Though joys be scant, 1 have this one
I'm not a millionaire.
When landlords fret me and dismay
And tailors claim my care,
Take heed" I'll say. "or you some day
Will be a millionaire"
How lonely are the marble halls
Where laughter never ringsi
How barren are the pictured walls
To which old Plutus brings
His treasure for the moth to see
And for the SPIDERS nest!
Without its smiling life would be
A sorry tale at best.
And yet, though these seem mournful folk
Who bid us be content.
By Providence some little joke
Fen to the rich Is sent.
cynic fancy still viii fling
Its shadow. l believe
The millionaire who said this thing
Was laughing-in his sleeve.

clerks whose services to the government
are of the utmost value, not merely despite
but actually because of their years.
Quite recently the head of one of the
executive departments called for certain
important data. The only man In his de-
partment who could furnish il was a clerk
seventy-fve years of age. His memory
covered the facts. which were not or
record. Not one of the younger men In that
Office could possibly have answered the
call. A few years ago a clerk of seventy
years reduced in one of the bureaus
of the treasury from 81 500 to $500, for no
other reason than that his salary was de-
sired for younger and possibly poiiti-
cally more active man. TIE work was
such that 1t called for a combination or
legal, financial and business talents. The
younger appointee could not supply this
assortment of capacities and the bureau
chief begged the elder clerk to continue at
the desk, while his successor on the salary
roll was given lighter task. Possibly IN
twenty years the younger man. IL continued
in the service. may acquire the necessary
acquaintance with the precedents and the
laws to enable him to earn the salary he
gets. Then when he IN turn reaches the
age OF seventy. he will be dropped. just
when his years make him most valuable TO
the government.
Such cases might be cited indefinitely.
No one In the least degree acquainted with
departmental conditions can doubt for
moment the unwisdom of holding before
the government clerks the certainty of re-
duction and dismissal solely on the score of
years. To enact this proposed law Will be
to serve notice on the clerks that fidelity
and intelligence count for naught Tt will
sap all the strength and ambition from
every clerk who expects to continue In the
service during good behavior. 1t will re-
duce the departmental administration to
dull, lifeless routine of grudging drudgery-
The younger men will quickly seek other
places rather than remain in a service
which offers not even an honorable reten-
ton for superior performances.
This Is much broader question than the
welfare of the clerks 1t strikes at the
very efficiency and honesty of departmental
administration. It affects the vital proc
esses of government.

The Bryan Men Alive.
is the latest from lincoln.

-Four hundred and fifty of the flower OF
Nebraska democracy. including practically
all of the state leaders save Mr.. Bryan,
participated in a dollar dinner here to-
night. The object of the gathering was
to organize for what the leaders insist is
certain to be a victorious campaign, and
incidentally. the speakers boosted William
Jennings Bryan as the proper man for the
democrats to nominate for President two
years hence"
Here is the right spirit. Mr.. Bryans
neighbors are watchful of his interests. He
is far. far from home and giving his at
tention to oriental peoples and their Gus
toms He Is not. 1t is true, entirely out of
touch with his country, and probably fol-
lows by letter and newspaper what is going
on here IN his absence. But such intelli
gence is meager, and necessarily old when
he receives 1t, and hence, in a sense, he
Is at a disadvantage when we consider
what is going on In the field of politics and
President-making for 1908. 1t is pleasant.
therefore, to observe that his faithful sup
porters in his own neck of woods are thor
oughly alive and resolved to keep his flag
flying. That is right.
Is the contest within the democratic party
narrowing down between Mr. Bryan and
Mr.. Hearst? 1t looks that way They have
never fought each other. Mr.. Hearst did
not inaugurate his campaign for the nomi-
nation in 1904 until 1t was well understood
everywhere that Mr.. Bryan would not seek
1t. The field was clear so far as Mr.. Bryan
was concerned, and Mr.. Hearst in his can
vass for delegates antagonized the inf1u-
ences in the east which in the two previous
campaigns had opposed Mr. Bryan. While
he did not support him, Mr.. Bryan did not
oppose Mr.. Hearst; and what he did in
pleading for a platform which should hold
the party measurably close to the Chicago
and Kansas City platforms was in line
with what Mr.. Hearst as a candidate was,
standing for
Things however. have changed somewhat.
Mr.. Hearst has been making no little head
way In the past few months, and is no
longer a jest In public affairs. His wallet
may still be in evidence. but It is not the
cry of his enemies as II once was. He has
gathered around him a coterie OF expert
enced workers and organizers. and they
are all very active. They have not waited
to hear what might be Mr.. Bryan's pur-
poses for 1908. They are for their chief
and employer. and in every section of the
country are busy In his behalf.
This Mr.. Bryans neighbors seem to have
Lincoln and the oratorical trimmings.
Let them, then. be up and doing.
With a heart for any doom;
still achieving. still pursuing,
Keen Initiating Willies boom.

Odell.

The New York republicans who are anx-
ious to depose Chairman Odell find 1T diff
cult to secure a strong man for the sue
Cessiou. No such man seems to want the
place Is it because of the fear of failure?
MIR Odell IS very much opposed to going
on the shelf, and should he be forced there
might become through his friends an ugly
customer I'm the campaign. One of the
most human OF the New York brand Of
politicians. accustomed to giving and taking
hard knocks. he is never amiable in defeat.
and defeat this time, II 1t comes. will be
humiliation. The task therefore of a chair
man chosen to supplant him because of
anti-Odell algnments would be not only
20 fight the democrats In the open but the
Oddities under cover; and the size of that
task NAV easily be appraised. Things at
Albany are quite as badly tangled as here
in Washington, and. in the terrible Ian
guage of the play. the end is not yet.

court no matter which one succeeded at

to show that the money of there insurance
companies could not honestly be devoted to
any such purpose. and hence that these
contributions were censurable In the high

jury considers this matter that public tn
terest will reach Its highest mark
While SO much Is In doubt, this one thing
seems settled: the two political parties
must manage to get along this year. and
again In 1908. without any contributions
from the big insurance companies.

Promotions In the Army.

A careful. intelligent and just system of
promotion is necessary If the efficiency OF
the army is to be maintained at a high
standard. This is the puzzle which military
authorities have set themselves to solve,
and Il is a perplexing one. Promotion only
by seniority Is mistake that has been too
often demonstrated; promotion by selection
is largely open to that personal and political
favoritism which has been apparent In re-
cent years. All experience proves that an
efficient army depends upon efficient off,
GERS. 1t Is urged. therefore. that In the Inn
provement OF our military establishment
promotion must depend not upon seniority
or personal favor. but upon efficiency.

A RUSSIAN POET
 WRECKS THE RUSS
ROjestvensky'S Trial Brings him More
 Credit than His Fellow Officers.

St. Petersburg, July S-The T ven tieth Century formerly the Russ, has published a second poem by M. Am fiteatroff, one of Russias brilliant journalist. poets. entitled "The New , Marseilleise." The paper has been confiscated and probably will be sup pressed. The verses are dedicated to Maxim GOrky and are virtually an ap- peal to armed revolt. The refrain goes Rise to your rights. people; array yourselves under the red banner" The following is a translation of a , typical verse: Seize the headman's axe and pass sentence to slay; quit the blow and grasp the sword and bud geon; the Volga weeps blood for the wrongs of the people; seek your sal Vation in mortal combat with the op- pressors."
 The police have seized an anti Semitic brochure entitled "Down with Amnesty" and the authors have been held for trial. The brochure is espe- cially violent against the members of the lower house. It calls them fools and says they have sold themselves to the Jews. News received here from Bialystok is to the effect that the Jews are in such a condition of panic that they are selling all their property and preparing to emigrate to America
 Testimony in the case of Vice Ad- mlral Rojestvensky. who IS being tried by court martial for surrender to the Japanese of the destroyer Bedov. in the battle of the sea of Japan, has been submitted and the addresses of the council probably will be completed to- morrow
 The testimony has brought out the details of the cold blooded way in which Captain Baranoff of the f3edov abandoned the crews of the battle ships Oslyahi, Nya, SouvarOff and Al eAahder III to death by drowning, re- tusing 10 save a single person. The president of the court virtually called captain BaranOff a coward in open sittlng. Rojestvensky is the only de- fendant emerging from the investiga ton with any credit. He has submit ted his case in lieu of pleading. by counsel, in the following words: "Sirs: Russla's fleet has been humiliated: the people have confidence in you; await my punishment"
