AN INTERESTING FIGHT.

There is to be an interesting contest in Penn
sylvana this fall over the state treasurership Ihe
one lasting benefit of the reform agitation in the
Keystone state two years ago the choice of an
honest man as state treasurer. That Berry, the
choice of the Democrats, Prohibitionists and anti
machine men, was man of sterling integrity no
pne can deny and it due his alertness that the
tremendous frauds in relation to the new capitol at
Harrisburg was discovered
The grafters certainly had high carnival, and
though no one doubts the integrity OF former Gov
ernor Pennypacker, yet he was as one dumb and
blind while the grafters were dumping the money
by carloads from the state treasury into their
strong boxes. Berry might have easily obtained
his share of the plunder but, being an honest man,
he kept faith with the people of his state and was
busy about their affairs all OF the time. IL there
ever was a politician with odd ideas that man is
Pennypacker He first pronounced the late Senator
QUAY model Of civic virtue and later devoted all
his energies to the passage of bill limiting the
powers of free press.
One of the men the governor strenuously
opposed was Berry, and yet he is the one man IN
Pennsylvania politics who in recent years has been
of real service to the people The Republicans have
nominated man of good personal character for
state treasurer this year and the Democrats have
made an equally good nomination, Berry not being
candidate and the contest will be interesting be-
cause many citizens have declared that as long as
the rest of the state government is Republican It
would be well to have an honest Democrat at the
strong box, SO that the leakage would be as small
as possible.

REGISTRATION A DUTY.

Tomorrow night the office of the board of can
vassers and registration will be open until o'clock
So it will on the two following nights and through
the weather may be dsagreeable it will still be the
duty of about 10000 to go to the city hall some
time between tonight and p. m. on Saturday. If
you taxpayer or have property the board of
assessors will not require you TO go to the city hall
in order to be assessed. Now, in fairly reasonable
form of government your vote should be worth as
much to the state as the taxpayers dollars. OF
course, there is no dsputing the need of money in
the municipal or state household any more than in
that of the individual but something else is needed
in city, state and home besides money and that is
manhood Some day here in Rhode Island we
may recognize that fact, and when we do we will
know that the place where manhood is most potent
is at the ballot box
In the meanwhile the Republican state machine
considers only the welfare and comfort of the men
supposed to be public servants, but who, in fact
act as arrogant masters, and requires who toll
hard to deprive themselves of well-earned rest in
order to go to the city hall and register voters.
1t would be possible to end this bold and de-
fant course in one year If all the men who could
qualify registry voters just went to the city hall
and then laying all thoughts of different national
policies aside, voted for the Democratic candidates
from the first one on the ballot to the last
The charge against the state machine Is not
baseess because the board of canvassers and
registration is in reality branch of the state gov
ernment and the legislature fixes the salary of
members of the board. The relations between the
state Republican machine and the board of can
vassers and registration most intimate and If
the machine wanted the board to visit the different
sections of the city it would promptly do so, though
it has turned down every request made to facilitate
registration by the labor organizations and the
Democratic leaders
OF double worth, then, will be your action as
patriotic citizen if you go to the city hall between
now and Saturday night To vote honestly is to do
patriotic duty, and under the present restrictions
in Providence to qualify to cast ballot is even
more praseworthy, because in many instances it is
harder task to perform.

wrong laid at the door OF the mnn whose
lips are sealed forever was impossible.
The rebuttal evidence by the prosecu-
tion will probably be the most important

case. How much OF the evidence they

Miss Loving admitted that sne nau

the Estes store. She was asked ABOUT
other occasions when IL is charged that
she drank whiskey. but the defence op-
jected on the ground that II had no bear

questions for the present. but may insist
upon similar ones later in the trial
Aside from the testimony of the morn

PROTECT THE TENANTS.

New York's building department again comes
into unenviable public notoriety through the coll
lapse of ramshackle tenement and the killing of
seven occupants.
Only three years ago the steel skeleton of the
Hotel Darlington collapsed, hurting FL persons to
death. The building plans had never been ap-
proved, but nobody was ever punished. 1t appears
the foundation OF the tenement that collapsed yes
terday had been improperly shored to protect the
building from excavations being made next door.
Somebody was responsible for the proper snoring
of the tenement walls.
Discussing this point the New York Herald
says today under the caption Isn't it Municipal
Murder?":
The Building Department of this bor-
ough, with its personnel of nearly two
hundred, including than sixty in
spectors of carpentry and masonry" is
more than useless because if it were not
in existence tenants worknen and police
would adopt precautions which, in re-
ance upon the inspectors" are now neg
lected. This is clearly shown in the
story of yesterdays tragedy. Is there
no hope of reform? Must these need
less slaughters of innocent persons go on
forever?
Providence has been singuarly free from "acci
dents" of this character, but there is ample room
for improvement in its building laws, though, after
all, proper inspection and enforcement of existing
laws is far better than dependence upon the best of
ordinances that are not enforced. The lives OF ten
ants should be adequately protected

PENSION PLAN
FOR OLD men IN
FEDERAL OFFICE

Washington, June ga plan for the
retirement of aged and incapacitated en-
ployes OF the government has been
evolved by the Keep commission and Will
be submitted to congress next winter In
the form of a bill. with the recommenoa-
ton that it be enacted into law.
The commission recommends that an
annuity be paid to government employees
who reach the age of 70, such annuity TO
be taken from a fund created by deduct
ing certain percentage OF the salaries
of government employees every year. ~
disapproves Of plans proposed providing
that pensions be paid TO retired employees
wholly out OF the federal treasury.
The general idea OF the commissions
measure Is that each individual shall
provide the necessary fund Tor ms own
retirement. 1t is proposed 10 pay every
employe In the civil service ON retiring
at the age of 20 years or upwards an
annuity equal to l.5 per cent OF his pay
for every year of service.
Thus an employe who enters the ser
vice at 70 years of age and receives a
salary of Sl200 year through % years
and retires at 70 would receive $500
year that being 15 per cent of his salary
multiplied by 20 years. To provide the
fund from which to pay the annuity
deduction would be made from the
monthly salaries of the employe or such
amount as will be sufficient, with per
cent compound interest, to purchase such
annuity on the arrival of the employe
at the age of 20 years.
From accepted calculations OF Insurance
companies II is found that $661S is the
sum which must be accumulated 10 pur-
chase an annuity of $500 FOR life Tor a
person 70 years OF age. The next step
is to determine what sum must be set
aside monthly to accumulate at 4 per
cent interest S65lS during the employers .
80 years OF service A deposit or 81 per
month for 30 years, with interest com
pounded at 4 per cent, amounts to $lSIO.4S.
The number of dollars per month
necessary to accumulate $6,6B is
obtained by dividing $6,67S by Visit 4S.
This leaves 1913 to be deducted from
salary OF 800 a month to provide the
annuity of $500 year. Provision is made
for withdrawal of the employees accu-
mulated savings, with interest, in case he
leaves the service before reaching the age
OF retirement.
To provide for retirement of en-
ployes who are In the service when the
bill is passed II is proposed that the
government shall contribute the amount
necessary to represent their accumula-
tions from the time they entered the ser
vice. From the passage OF the bill they
will, of course, make their own con-
tributions upon the basis above described.
A table based on careful calculations
shows that the total amount the govern
ment would contribute the first year Is
about $725,0O0. This increases gradually
from year to year till the 18th year.
when IL is $l.746,56l. from which point
Il gradually diminishes tn zero and the
system becomes self-supporting.
