The action of the Secretary of the
Interior in dismissing thirteen old
and faithful clerks from the Land
Office was rather hard-hearted on the
face of It. The action will be follow
ed by similar dismissals i'm the case
of about 100 others. This is pretty
severe on the old clerks who are let
out through no fault of their own ex.
cept old age. But 1t may have the ef-
feet of Fastening the passage of the
Civil Service Retirement Bill which,
with good reason, is eagerly looked
forward to not only by the Govern
.ment employees of Washington. but
of all other parts of the country. IN
the case of the Land 0ffice clerks, the
old people had been retained on the
rolls largely out OF charity, copying
the Land Office records in pen and Ink
simply because they did not know how
to use typewriters. The work of the
office was falling behind and Mr.. Gar.
field. the new Secretary of the Inter.
for, being a strong, energetic young
man, took the step that none OF his
predecessors had ever had the heart
to take and dropped the old clerks
from the rolls. Many Of them WIN
become objects of charity, some Of
them of public charity, They will
serve as bitter examples Of the sin
of growing old in the Government
service. But perhaps their plight may
hasten the day when clerks VIII learn
to be more thrifty and lay up some
thing for old age.

That win be one of the main arteries
of trade for water borne freight. But
the great river is a good starting point
for the investigation and the most re-
markable thing that appealed to the
commission was not the problem of
making the river a desirable stream
for freight traffic, but in getting the
freight to take that highway. The
members of the commission report
that the river is in better physical
condition than 1t has ever been be-

The latest Republican plan to get
rid of the surplus is 70 pension the
Government clerks that have become
too old for active work. If that Is
done all employees Of the Government,
whether clerks, artisans or laborers,
must in all fairness receive the same
treatment. With a civil pension list
added to the military pensions the
increased Government expenditures
would be a good excuse for further
postponement Of tariff reform.

A SIGN OF TRADE ACTIVITY. Continued Increase In the Demand fol
 Small Silver Coins.

From the Kansas City Star.
 Evidence of the continued expansion of the retail trade of the United States is furnished by the constant demand for small silver coins. The amount of sub sidiary silver In circulation April 1, 1907, was over s121, 900 900, as compared with s10s 900 year ago, showing an increase of over ten per cent. The treasury de- pertinent has purchased about 7,OoOoOO ounces of silver in the past twelve months which cost less than five million dollars. and out of which nearly two million doi- lars in subsidiary silver coins were made, so that the transaction yielded about five million dollars in profit to the govern ment The amount of subsidiary silver in circulation has doubled in ten years. The first sign of let up in the activity of retail trade is likely to be reflected in a return of small coins to the treasury. through the banks.
 The silver dollars in circulation amount to almost eighty-three million, an in- crease of one million two hundred and fifty thousand in the past year. The cir culation of subsidiary silver is nearly 20 per cent larger than that of silver dol lars.

An orator, MT Mills Is not, but he naa, in a wonderful degree, the faculty of entertaining and instructing.
 First, few wor rds regarding the inn pression that MT. Mills makes upon one. Imagine a tall man of moderate build with clean-shayen face and clear cut cameo-lke features, whose hair recedes from the forehead and accentuates this most prominent feature Think of a pair ol penetrating blue eyes that give forth sure index to every passing phase of thought, whether it be grave or gay.
 Dress this man in light colored Prince Albert suit and dress him carefully with the coat open and the vest low cut; sur mount the coat and vest with standing collar and white tie. Let the trousers, which encase a pair ol straight legs be creased from the knee do VII and cover medium shoes
 Do all this and you might have mem be. of the constitutional convention, T di-senting minister or an aspiring Ham let, but not.
 Let this man open his mouth and tell you things all his own in a voice that comes in jerks and In accents that are full to overfiowing with r's of the Irish variety.
 Give to his long arms the peculiar down
 
 phasis, contempt, disdain and other things ana you have an entirely different man. MT. Mills, brilliant and caustic tray eler, humanitarian, firm believer IT himself and his fellow man. l The picture is but a brief thumb mai sketch of man who is just now occupy. l ing a conspicuous place in the public | eye; one who has many warm followers and believers in the remedies he Is ad- vertisirg
 Is would be difficult to single out from the many good things that fall from MT. Mills lips the best. Perhaps it would be best to begin Chi. nese fashion, at the end, and select one of his notices:
 Art Is the expression of mans joy in his work.
 Here you have the whole philosophy oi the man summed up. To work for the pleasure it gives you to do each task well that the joy may be better; these are the things he teaches and believes in.
