organization of municipal employees
Will undermine unionism than that the
unions VIII be able TO keep the city
employees out OF politics. The fact
that municipal departments must be
open shops supports Mr.. Sullivan's con-
tention and should be given more con-
sideration by union men than they have
hitherto accorded il.
Tho Matter Of Wages.
These two investigators agree that
In Great Britain the wages in munich

where except In the case of unskilled
labor and in the tramways. In this
| connection Ii is worth while to recall
the words of James Dalrymple, man
ager of the municipal tramways OF
Glasgow:
I'm Glasgow when we took over the
we did not pay that wage to the same
men 1t was paid to other men. We
got superior men"
In general Professor Commons finds
common labor better paid by cities I'm
America than by companies, but Mr..
Sullivan points out that in many cases
at least the man is expected to earn
this extra wage by voting and working
for his political boss and that his
tenure OF Office depends on this rather
than on his efficiency and adds
I'm America the municipal enter
prises visited by our labor investigators

America Behind Europe?
One section OF Professor Commons
report is very misleading. He says;
"Neither municipal ownership nor
private ownership has accomplished
the good results in the United States
that should be expected of IT, and both
are far behind what both have accom-
plished In Great Britain. We are
In precisely the same position that Brit
ish municipalities occupied forty years
ago Ia tho gas business and fifteen
to thirty years ago In the street car
and electricity business"
The utter absurdity of this statement
Is shown by the fact that In 1904, the
last year for which statistics are avail
able, there were In the United States
30, 1877 miles of street railways against
Eli In the United Kingdom, although
the population of the latter 0untry
was then more than half that of the
United States. IL is well recognized
fact that In the application of electric
ity TO lighting and power the United
States not only leads the world, but
nearly equals all the rest OF the world

A Public Liar.

Did it ever occur to You why
country editors are such cheerful
liars? The cross road town today
would boycott the man who dared to
tell the whole truth and nothing but
the truth in country newspaper.
Strange as it RAY seem to some,
editors as a class are born with con-
science. but as they rub up against the
lying public who have some selfish
motive in view. their early training
at their mothers knee is too often for
gotten in the scramble for the al
mighty dollar.
Mother Swell-head has a tea party.
twelve present. She asks the editor to
say that there were fifty present and
four-course banquet followed. Mr..
Blow hard orders nine dollars worth
of goods and asks you to say that he
has nine hundred dollars worth on
the road.
Let the meanest old cuss in town
pass in his checks and the preacher
and editor laud him to the skies. No
chicken thief and drunken repro
bate. who "bucks the tiger" while
his wife chases dirty undershirts up
and down the washboard to feed her
half-starved family. when this mans
carcass is deposited in the bone or
chard. then it is that the public ex-
poets the editor to be smooth liar
and white-wash his benighted soul!
Next comes the flannel tongued
scandal monger Of the female persua-
sion, who has ruined the lives OF
many young girl and who has kept
the social circles of the town in hot
water for years by the use of her
deceitful lying tongue; she becomes
an angel in the columns of the news
paper the moment death paralyzes
her.
A preacher may be an ordinary pull
pit-pounder and a bore to the COM
munity, but every time he talks the
editor is no good if he fails to say.
"the sermons are unsteady eloquent,
profoundly deep or dramatically in
teresting.'
Every 'dinky' entertainment
must be grand, every schoolma'am
proficient and every business man
progressive. every city dad religiously
perfect. every newcomer valuable
acquisition to society, the climate
must be delightful, the women the
prettiest in the county. the men the
most public spirited in the state, or
the paper is not worth reading and the
editor is too slow.
If an editor fails to conform to
these standards of public deception
and downright lying, he will not
have a friend in town, and yet the
town bowls for purer press.
Is it any wonder, under these cir
cumstauces, that the editor lives in
hell on earth and dies with nothing
better In sight. Otto Leader.

He QUOTED ST. PAUL.
A Bishops BIunder and the Clever Way
Il Was Corrected.

A certain bishop of one Of the middle
states is described as man who pos.
sessed great learning, but had not the
saving sense Of humor. In "Reminis.
cences of Bishops and Archbishops"
Bishop Potter gives an instance Of the
absence of this quality
1t happened on one occasion that an
episcopal election had come up for re-
view in the house of bishops, and ques-
tons as to the bishop elect were being
asked and answered with considerable
freedom. A bishop who knew the bish-
op elect in very intimate way was or
his feet and was being catechised,
when bishop called out, what kind
Of wife has our brother elect?"
"His present wife, began the bish-
op thus challenged, when the middle
state delegate sprang to his feet.
Zone moment" he cried do I un-
derstand my brother Alright? Did he
derstand that by that phrase he means
to imply that the brother elect has had
a previous wife? Because, if so, can
not vote for his confirmation. st. Paul
says, a bishop must be the husband Of
one wife,"
For moment the house, in which
were a number Of bishops who, having
been bereaved of their earthly part
ners, had supplied their places, sat still
In stunned silence, until q prelate,
whose sense Of humor was as keen as
the last speakers was feeble, rose in
his place and said, do l understand
that the bishop regards the language
of the apostle which he has just quoted
as mandatory"
"Certainlyw exclaimed the man who
had objected.
Every well, then, Mr.. Chairman"
said the interrogating bishop blandly,
III the bishop regards the language of
st. Paul, when he says that a bishop
must be the husband Of one wife, as
mandatory, | should like to ask him
what he proposes to do with the bishop
of''-naming a bachelor bishop-"who
hasn't any"
There was a shout of laughter, amid
which the bishop who had objected
took his seat, flushed and angry. The
humor of his blunder was wholly IN
perceived by him.

There is now substantial evidence
that the federal pension roll is per-
manently declining. The net decrease
of Is, 600 for the past fiscal year is sig
nificant, and constitutes the most IN.
teresting single item in the recent
annual report of the commissioner Ut
pensions. There are now 967, 81
names ON the pension roll, which is
the smallest NUNS er since 1898. High
water mark was reached in 1908.
when the number was ,0O4, 1876. For
the last two years the net decrease has
been SO, 825. and this has come to pass
in the face of liberal legislation. 1t
is estimated that within five years the
total number will be below 900, 900
and from that time onward the de-
crease will be very rapid. The cost
of the pension system has not varied
greatly from year to year. In 1897 1T
went up to $14S, 765. 900; last year it
was $l41, AGA, 600. The annual appro-
priation has been kept above $40,
600, 600 by new legislation, admitting
APPLICANTS ineligible under previous
laws and increasing the rates OF pay
ment. The average value of pensions
in nearly every class has by these
means been raised from general
average of $134.9 in 1908 to $l45. &C
in 1907. But Notwithstanding all
these aids, the highest point mas now
been reached, and the permanent de-
cline begun.
