remunerated and so well treated as govern
ment labor. The average OF wages is high, ten
ure is secure and superannuatiOn is tolerated.
Clerks are employed in the departments in
Washington who. as testimony before the House
Committee on Appropriations has shown, have
to be taken TO their posts daily in carriages.
If the government pays moderate and in some
cases inadequate salaries TO higher officials, il
certainly balances the score by literally re-
warding workers in the lower grades. In this
it sets an example which might be followed to
advantage in other fields of employment where
the cOmpensatiOns at the top are extravagant
and the average of wages is too near the limit
of bare existence. The federal authorities may
not feel moved to bring suit for defamation
against Mr.. Newcomb. but the Association for
the Advancement Of Science might be justified
in voting him license as a practical joker.
New-York tribune., 1906-07-09
soUTHERy WAGES AND LABOR.

The Florida Times-U Union" and ''The Birming-
ham AgeHerad' frankly admit-what many
Southern newspapers refrain from saying-that
the chief obstacle in the way of immigration to
the South is the low rate of wages paid there.
There are few localities, especially in the more
thoroughly settled states, in which ordinary
labor command more than 81 30 day, as
against the 50 or more which may be earned
in the North and West While THE Times
Union" calls attention to the fact that work
throughout the year is assured to the laborer in
the South, and that he has less to pay for fuel
than in the North, it comedies that if the stand
ard of living is equal the immigrant must
spend about as much in one section as in the
other. Putting the case BADLY il says: "Our
standard of living was fixed by scent cotton
"Our farmers now get 10 cents for their cotton
land if they find it difficult to get labor it is be-
cause wages have not increased with the profits
"of farming"
But, while the South as vet offers insufficient
inducements to the immigrant who aspires to
be nothing better than a day labOrer, there are
excellent chances for the man who has money
to buy land and work it for himself If it is not
practicable for farmers TO pay wages which will
attract immigration, the better sort might be
induced by a proper presentation of the oppor-
tunitieS which await the small landhOlder.

THE GOVERNMENT As EMPLOYER.

Scientific associations delight no doubt, to be
treated 10 subtle iliuminauOns Of paradox but
we think the limit was reached when Mr. H. T.
NewcOmb, who admitted he lived in Washing
+. ton, tried to convince the American Association
Cor the Advancement Of Science the other day
that the federal government is not the best en-
ployer of labor, and not even fair employer"
7 Fortunately, Mr. Newcomb travelled as far
from home as Ithaca, y. Y, TO expound his
! paradox, for on the banks of the Potomac we
fear his audience would have felt impelled TO
call in policeman and 10 institute a process
de lunaticO inquirendO. 1t is this scientists
contention. probably, that government employees
do not really know how oppressed and NAL
treated they are, and are no fit judges of their
own miserable condition. That is the expIana-
[ uon he would Offer perhaps. of Thomas Jef
fersons heartfelt complaint a hundred years
or more ago that few die and none resign. d"
But the selfdelusion of the officehoIder has been
as rampant all through American history as if
was in JeffersOn's day, for 4 study of politics
2 will reveal the fact that the average American
patriot has never fought, bled and died more
herOically than when resisting the efforts Of
Jealous rivals 10 separate him from Office
But even throwing out as incompetent the
testimony of the Oficeholders themselves. we
can hardly admit that Mr.. Newcomb substan-
tiates his case. If the government is a bad en-
plOyer, it must be on the theory that it INDUCES
its employees too much. 1t does not practise the
Spartan severity inculcated by the late presi-
dent OF the Mutual Life Insurance COMPANY
who didn't approve OF giving policyholders an
nual dividends because they might squander
them on cigars and billiards. It encourages
lassitude and luxurious habits because it en-
forces short hours and long vacations and al
lows extra liberal pay. Possibly, if the govern
ment were TO lengthen the Workday of the de-
partmeDt clerk in Washington from seven and
a half TO ten hours, abolish his thirty days sick
leave and cut his vacation with pay from one
month 10 fourteen or perhaps seven days, thus
putting him on an equality with the average
worker Of the same grade outside the depart
menfs. our pessimistic Ithaca critic might agree
thSf Uncle Sam had redeemed his character as
an employer OF labor.
As matter OF fact no other labor is 80 well

The incident of the surrender of the Russian
gunboat Biedovy bids fair to rank with the
Mystery OF Gilgal" IN puzzling obscurity We
are told that one captain. who bore the fragrant
name of COlongue. ordered a sheet to be pro-
duced flag of truce, and that another. who
bore the portentous name of Calamatieff. indig-
nantly ordered it TO be thrown into the sea- Are
we to understand that there was no regular
white flag on the vessel that a sheet had thus
to be Communicated? And why was the ca
lamitous captain indignant? At the thought
Of surrender? Or at the unworthiness of a sheet
for such distinguished use? Or yet again. is II
possible that the sheet was from his bed and
that he had been rudely reused from his slum-
bers In the procuring Of it? We shall hope for
information on these points as the court martial
proceeds.

choice of land will have been determined by lot
beforehand, and the Eastern schoolma'am will

Our Coal Situation Not Improving.
Wednesday night at the regular
meeting of the village board, the
coal question was discussed from
every side, there being number OF
citizens present who engaged in
tie discussion.
The situation has become Sc
rious, 80 much so that the only
thing for the citizens of Mountain
home to do is to insist on the rail-
road setting out cars, and If they
do not do that, then "get" coal.
About ten days ago, the railroad
superintendent and attorney met
with the village trustees and sew
eral other citizens and they agreed
that if coal stealing was stopped,
coal would be furnished. Two
cars were set off, and the coal sent
out in small lots of one or two
hundred pounds to each customer,
and then not all supplied. None
of the local dealers have received
any since and no promise of any.
