Worry and Government Work.

The following paragraph from the Phila-
delphia Inquirer states the average out
of-town view of the government clerk:
a clerk in the government offices at
Washington has served fifty-one years.
and ascribes his present good health TO
the fact that he has always adopted the
motto Don't worry That is all very
we'll under his conditions Most men who
work for Uncle Sam have no cause to
worry. but how about the rest of u.s.
The clerk in question is an exception
Having served for fifty-one years. he
passed through the old spoils period
when four years was the normal limit to
a mans usefulness in the public service
Those were the days of worry over the
bare question Of holding on during one
administration. In later times the civil
service law has somewhat lessened the
risk Of public Office holding, but not sufh-
GENTLY to enable any government clerk
to settle back to a feeling of absolute
security. For Congress meets once
against the clerks. First of all. there is
the seasonal attack upon the civil service
law. Although it has always heretofore
failed. no one can tell just when it may
succeed Congress does some extraordi-
always some would-be economists who
think there are too many clerks, that
the hours are too short and the privi-
leges too many, the annual leave too
generous, and the standard Of efficiency
too low. Unless a clerk has become case
hardened by passing SO often through the
fire Of congressional attack he is likely
each winter to, live in state of appre
hension which disqualifies him for mem
bership in ''don'tworry" club.
In truth the government clerks are zeal
Gus, faithful. efficient workers, who take
an interest in their tasks and apply them
selves diligently to the mastery OF them
They are experts in many lines, and it is
difficult to replace them when vacancies
occur The merit system of appointments
and promotions enables the higher off,
Gals to keep the standards up to the gov
ernment's requirements. but without this
process Of steady individual advance
ment the departmental service would be
in a constant state of setback. owing to
disturbing changes. 1t is to be ques-
toned whether higher efficiency records
are written In any branch of commercial
work than are scored constantly in the
government service.
The cheap fling at the "overpaid. under
worked government clerk" will probably
persist indefinitely. 1t belongs in the
same class with the mother-in-law joke
and without 1t the paragraph writer's of
the country would feel at loss for stock
materials.

Washington's stray dogs are to be muz-

more apt to get out OF hand than con-
ventions.

From the Columbus Ohio State Journal.
Uncle julius Caesar Burrows doubtless

Mr.. Williams Letter

John Sharp Williams, in retiring from
the minority leadership of the House at
this time, has done the right thing, and
his letter on the subject will advance him
in the estimation OF the country regard
less of party.
Mr. Williams knows the House we'll.
and knows particularly we'll the difficult
ties of leading democrats in that body.

fessed failure. and retired. Mr.. Richard

shrewd man of conciliatory tactics, could

him. He encouraged the obedient and ex-

Only on one occasion was IL necessary for
him 10 use his fists, and he acquitted
himself even then in a way to increase
his prestige. showing. as he did, a
capacity TO make pugilism factor in en-
forcing a parliamentary program
Maybe Mr.. Williams is fortunate in
being able to retire now. He is one of
those democrats who are supporting Mr..
BRYAN for the Denver nomination with
