No Age-Limit Legislation.

All fears OF legislation by Congress at
this session inimieal to the welfare OF .-.e
elder departmental clerks are allayed by
the announcement that the paragraph in
the legislative bill efFecdng horizontal re-
duction account OF age Is subject to
point of order and not covered by the new
rule yesterday adopted by the House. II
Is gratifying TO those who have been ear
nestly contending against this surprising
proposal to find the leaders OF the House
willing so frankly TO recognize it's revolu-
tlonary character and the improbability 0.
its enactment. 1t Is at the same time un-'
fortunate that this realization did not come
earlier. before the paragraph was written
into the bill. That would have spared the
elder clerks much anxiety.
But the broaching OF the plan for a hori-
zon.t- reduction, absurd and unjust as IL
Is. has effected some results which are worth
the trouble OF their demonstration. 1t has
been clearly shown that there is a very
high average of efficiency on the part OF the
elder clerks and that cases of genuine SUI
perannuation which constitute burden
upon the treasury are due to the unwilling
ness Of the superior officials to be cruel
In their administration. There Is a very
small percentage OF such Instances. It has

Now, what better man to examine the

that he is not informed about political

Van WICK.

Robert A. Van Wyck, former mayor of

The New York Jefferson Dinner.

Some amusement has been created by tho
announcement that at the Jefferson dinner
to be eaten in New York on April I6,
President Woodrow Wilson win speak on
Thomas Jefferson and the other speakers
viii talk politics." The evident meaning Is
that Mr. Wilson will handle his subject In
large and historical way, and leave 1t
to the politicians who win follow him to
apply Jefferson to the problems of today.
One could wish for better arrangement,
and one whereby Mr. Wilson although not
In politics, would bring jefferson up to date.
The average politician. with his smatter-
Ing OF things. knows his Jefferson but
slightly. He dwells upon a few facts and a
few traditions, and in that way presents a
hero OF shreds and patches--a cross between
Davy Crockett and French philosopher
of the latter half of the eighteenth century.
He tells his hearers that IL Jefferson were
alive today he would end all our troubles
in a jiffy; would rally the people against
the trusts, eQualize all burdens, and put to
shame the extravagances Of the Idle rich.

The Perkins-Bliss Case.

This is taken from the story of the Per-
kins-Bliss episode
Cornelius n. Bliss. treasurer of the re-
puoEcan national committee, called upon
MT. PERKINS. who was then vice president
OF the New York Life at the office of Nor
gan & Co., and told him President Mccain
mad agreed to contribute about $50 900 to
the campaign fund. Mr.. Perkins in several
payments turned over s4S TOO from his own
resources to Mr.. Bliss In December of the
same year Mr.. Mccall called a. meeting of
the finance committee and check was
drawn to reimburse Mr. Perkins The con-
tripution was made In this way because
Mr. Mccall was being importuned by other

giving no money to any party

hately. Mr.. Mccall is dead, but maybe Mr.
PERKINS, or somebody else who was con-
hected with him In business is able to
make reply. 1t does not stand TO reason
that the republicans were approa ching him
through any other person than Mr. Bliss
and this adds to the interest of Mr.. Nc
Calls embarrassment
we must take into account too. the diff
ference between the campaign of 1904 and
the two distinctly Bryan campaigns Mr.
Mccall could not have suffered embarrass-
ment in declining to subscribe to campaign
funds for Mr.. Bryan's benefit He had but
to point to the accepted view of Organism
In eastern business circles to Justify him
self in turning his back on it. If triumph
of free silver would affect the value of Sc
eurities adversely. those of the New York
Life Insurance Company would suffer with
the rest.
But in 1904 many eastern democrats who
had opposed Mr.. Bryan as vigorously as
Mr.. Mccall were supporting Judge Par
ker, on the claim that the peril of BRYAN
ism had passed. and that the democracy
with New York again in the lead. was now
sound on the goose" With men like Mr.
Cleveland and Thomas F. Ryan and August
Belmont again in line. what had the bust
ness world to fear from democratic success?
This note was sounded irl high key in
New York. and 1t Is not difficult to believe
that democrats like Mr.. Mccall were ap-
preached, and even importuned. for assist
ance in the conduct of the Parker cam
paign.
The public, as The Star stated the other
day, is entitled to the whole story about

ness? If SO, and the criminals are to be

much or little, or the money went to the

The Birds.
From the Columbus Journal.


Now comes the time when the birds an
pear They will soon be fitting through
the trees, futtering along the fences and
hopping over the grass, and now and then
a clear note will fill the air, as sweet as
mothers song. It doesn't seem possible
that anybody could harm one of these
bright little creatures. But there are, many
people, but mostly boys. There should be
a public opinion SO fierce against the kill
ing of birds that no one win dare raise
hand against them. And to form this
public opinion everybody can help. One
should never allow an opportunity to pass
when he can express his indignation
against this eanest of cruelties.
The birds are the fairest phase of spring
time. They vie with the flowers to make
the world beautiful and happy. They sing
the joy Of the grass, the woods and the
creeks If once the birds were gone, and
nature were dumb, would see a doIeful
difference. But did you ever think of the
practical mission of the birds--what good
they are doing while they are making
people happy? 1t Is the opinion of a
ma turaIist that man could not live on the
earth after the birds had gone Destroy
the birds, and in nine years time the bugs
and insects would crowd man from the face
of the earth. They would starve him out.
But 1t is not to prevent this that the birds
should be spared. 1t is for their own
beauty and innocence.
