PORTLAND, Ore, June 7.-Harry

statement IN which he practically de-
MED the claim made by the Rev. john
5ton Myers that he had sent 70 Myers
letter promising to submit the ques-
ton of Prof Fosters dismissal to the
board of trustees. President Judson
said:
Il shall never recommend to the trus-
tees of the University of Chicago the
removal of any professor on account Of
his theological opinions. Theological
conformity may under some circum-
stances be desirable in denomina-
tional college; to require such conform
ity IN a university would be intolerable-
Moreover, the charter OF the Univer-
sity of Chicago is broadly nOnsect2rian.
II Is a charter requirement that two
thirds of the trustees and the president
shall be Baptists. But IL is also a re-
oI1iremeDt that no sectarian test or par
ticular religious profession shall ever
be neld as a condition precedent TO the
election of any professor. obviously
the same principles apply to the tenure
of any professor 80.

MONAZTTE SAND: ONE OF THE
PETTY TARIFF STEALS.

The tariff duty on monazite sand
was substantially increased by the
Senate the other day. Ever hear Of It?
Doesn't sound at al exciting, does it?
And yet It Is one of the finest iIlustra-
tions Of how the tariff is used, and
how the dominating forces IN the Sen
ate have assisted in having it used, to
increase the cost Of necessaries of life
to the people, for the benefit OF special
interests. It was one Of the most ex-
I euseless cases the whole revision has
developed; almost as excuseless as the
s fixing Of the duty on electric light car
bons in the interest Of a single con
=eern in Cleveland. It seems, indeed,
sthat there is a conspiracy to make
light, in whatever way it is produced.
as expensive as possible. There was
even a determined fight to save the
Standard Oil its duty on petroleum.
But as TO monazite sand. There are
great deposits Of it on the Brazilian
seaeoastj a small deposit in North
Carolina; and Senator Hepburn as
sured the Senate that there was some
Ia Idaho.
Alonazite sand IS mineral which,
when ineandescent, gives of a pecu-
IiarIy agreeable light. It Is the mean
descent basis Of the gas mantle light,
made by a very simple process, and pc
CaliaTly lending itself to production by
snail Independent plants. When one
company had a practical monopoly of
making these mantles, the price was
excessive; latterly Independents have
entered the field and the price has gone
down
The monopoly acquired the North
Carolina fields of monazite, and if it
could get the duty made prohibitive,
would be able TO drive the independents
aout Of che field. So an increased duty
was planned The consumers and the
makers Of mantles protested; but the
duty went on.
Now, what are the facts about mona

sad lack Of elemental information. The
Brazilian seaeoast deposits are so rich
that a peon with a shovel can scoop

ties, from go to so per cent pure. In
Idaho there is perhaps 3 per cent of

substances is very difficult and ex-

THE AK FOR THE INEFFI-
GENT CLERKS.

The new Secretary OF Commerce and
Labor is giving a series of demonstra-
lions that he is the new administrative
broom. 1t is now announced that he is
going to weed out the inefficient en-
ployes of his department, and that
about 10 per cent of the clerical force is
liable to 90, on the merit records now
under scrutiny, unless there is distinct
improvement.
Broadly, there win be no such i'm
provement, for the reason that the
chief occasion for inefficiency is incapac-
ity through age. The new Secretary
is merely tackling a very old and very
hard question in slightly new man
ner. Before he gets far with it he viii
discover the difficulties which have
confronted other weii-intentioned men
and determined administrators.
There are political and also human
reasons why the rigorous and hard
hearted enforcement of the merit rule
cannot be made practical Let SecTe-
tary NageI, and all the other business
administrators in the Government, IN
dertake the single task Of dropping out
all the Civil War veterans who are no
longer able to maintain an average of
efficiency, and discovery will be made
of some insurmountable difficulties.
The truth is that nobody will stand
for such a program, and nobody ought
to; neither Congress nor the country
back of it. That is the long and short
Of it. The veteran soldier, of course,
has the protection of a powerful senti-
mental interest in his behalf; but the
old man in the service, whether a sol
der or not, wiz be found to have
friends. He can't be turned out to
starve, and he viii not be. There
must be provision for him. Secretary
Nagel may help to bring the time when
this problem of pensions and super
annuation will be solvedi but he is
getting the cart before the horse when
he tries to make sweeping reorganiza-
ton Of his personnel before consider
ing what will become of the WORKOUT
veterans.
This problem of the aged clerk must
be solved before department reform
can be effected. It IS useless to pro-
test that the Government owes no
more to its employee than does the pri-
vate employer. The Government does
owe more; the Government universally
does more. II takes the lead in short
hours and good pay; and in almost all
countries it has taken the lead in the
direction of some civil pension project.
It may as well be recognized that these
peculiar obligations cannot be avoided.
