Slightly Damaged Goods.


We took occasion, anent the ar
rival on these shores Of Don Marino
Torlonia, brother of sundry dukes
and princes OF the Italian nobility
and himself at least a putative duke,

poets presented in the importation
of this scion of Latin aristoeraey to
become husband to Miss Elsie
Moore, heiress-daughter of the
American Protective Tariff Leagues
president. 1t now appears that the
Moore family is in danger of having
its constitutional prejudices against
imported goods further accentuated
and confirmed, in view of the charge
that their duke is a damaged article
considerably lacking in pedigree,
and not even listed in the Almanach
de Gotha, which is the herdbook of
foreign nobility
The rejection of his grace on the
ground that he was not up to speci-
ficatiOns would be occasion for real
regret, and IL is sincerely to be
hoped that the present trifiing mis-
understanding may be smOOthed
over and Don Marino prove himself
TO be the real thing. For this earn
est hope, moreover, there Is ground
in the fact that the imputations
against Don Marino were first voiced
by a Brooklyn newspaper. Until
more details are presented it viii

against Manhattan's acquisition of a
new nabOb has inspired these Sights

The head and producer of the
Moore family has been for many
years engaged in propagating an
tagonism in the American mind
against commodities of foreign or
igin. The fact that there is no
duty on sOns-in-law is without doubt
due to mere oversight. There would
have been one-lofty, Chinese, and
Prohibitive, toO-if President Moore
had just thought of il. He didn't
think; and that thoughtlessness may
presently prove responsible for a
defect in the armor of protection as
vital as Achilles undipped heel
Certainly, if Miss Moore shalI' final
ly convince herself of his genuine
ness and accept the duke, her de-
cision viii be tantamount to en-
phatic rejection of the theory that
there is nothing produced abroad
that we can't make equally good on

CLERKS LIKE PLAN
OF PENSION FUND
lines Interviews With
Government Employees
Bring Out Ideas.

Sentiment among Government clerks
seems 10 be in favor OF the new sugges-
tlon OF the Keep Commission, as related
exclusively IN The Times Of yesterday,
by which a percentage OF the clerks
salaries Is TO be deducted and used as a
pensioning fund for those who, from
age or disability, become unable TO carry
on their duties.
All the clerks interviewed by The
Times last evening were enthusiasts
over the idea Their views practically
coincided on the main points Of ad-
vantage furnished by the Uncle Sam
Insurance Company. Ltd" over all pre-
vious schemes, all stating that the aver
age Government clerk was unable to
save money out Of his salary, and, con-
sequently, would be benefited by having
somebody else save for him.
Says It Is Blessing.
T. Warren Akin, law clerk in the Gen
eral Land Office. who resides al s25
Massachusetts avenue, spoke OF the new
project as a blessing.
There are" he said, three classes OF
Government clerks, generally speaking.
First, the clerk who, because OF his
family, which is legally dependent upon
him, is obliged to expend the whole
OF his salary. This is the man whose
monthly pay envelope is expended as
fast as drawn upon those whom he
must support. Second, there is the man
land there are many In this class) who
is required 10 support those who have
no legal claim upon hinl. but who have
come by time to imagine that they have
a vested right to his pay Third, the
improvident man who, either from self
ishness or folly. wastes his money.
knowing that another pay day is COM
ing soon.
There are very few clerks, not over
two IN every hundred. who ore not In
one Of these three classes
1t would therefore be a blessing to
practically every clerk in the service
were the Government to retain such q
proportion of their salaries as would,
when deposited IN the Treasury, ac-
cumulate a fund for their support when
the time comes when they can no longer
| work.
Average Clerk Cannot Save.
THE average clerk cannot save, and
back OF part Of his salary that he can
be provided for in his old age.
While the scheme might occasion IN
! convenience at the outset and possibly
/ work a hardship upon some of the
| clerks, yet. IN the end II would prove

/ blessing to the Individual"

is to get something adopted as a

Captain Hall Approves.
Capt Edwin p. Hall, second vice
chairman Of the board Of pension ap-
peals. announced his unqualified ap-
pToval OF the scheme.
There is but one thing that I can
say" he remarked "and that is that
IL meets with my views exactly.

the United States Government could

The increased cost OF living and the
lack OF Increase IN salaries makes the
question Of future comfort a great one.
10 my IitHlQ INc present pidn is lDt
most feasible so far suggested
Charles T. Miller, who is employed In
the Treasury Department and resides AT
the Savoy apartment house, stated that
the pensioning scheme would be OF great
advantage 10 the young clerk as well as
10 the superRnnuated emplOye who re-
tired.
"IJ seems hardly possible. said Mr..
Miller, that the clerks on low salaries.
and the younger members OF the de-
partmental force should object 10 the
slightest assessment imposed upon them.
Just Like Insurance.
The scheme would be run on exactly
the same lines as the business Of the
great life insurance companies with the
one difference that the Government clerk
could not lose.
The introduction of the scheme would
mean the retirement Of a large number
of old employees, and every retirement
would mean FIVE promotions,
