would be deemed enough for the age

BILE combination of the two-as the
case might be. The requirement is
not so great but that it would seem
possible to devise some plan by which
the employees could be assisted to in

LONDON NEWS LETTER TELLS
OF HONOR TO THOMAS
PAINE IN ENGLAND.
orangemen Are Celebrating Today
Prince John Charles Francis
Is Four Years Old Today.

LONDON, July 12.-(SpeciaD-Dur
ing 1.-The times that tried mems souls,''
England placed a price upon the head
Of that prince of traitors Thomas
Paine, thus esteeming the cranial ap-
pendage of the stormy petrol of the
American revolution as of even greater
Importance than that of George Wash
ington. Paine's great work. 1.-THE Rights
of Man" stung the British autocrats
to the quick and it's suppression was
looked upon as a vital necessity.
While Paine is still denied his need
of honor and rightful place in history
by the prejudices of that America he
did so much to free, British newspapers
in this centenary year of his death, are
recalling with pride that that Paine
was of English birth. Practically all of
the great papers of England, including
the Times, Mail, News and Manches
ter Guardian, have recently published
appropriations of Paine, and a move
ment has been set on foot to erect at
his birthplace in Thetford a magnifi-
cent monument to his memory.
English newspapers have praised
Paine principally as a journalist, the
Manchester Guardian referring to him
as the first journalist in the fullest
and best modern sense of the word
and the first ito realize the power and
value of a cheap press"
It is also pointed out that Paine was
responsible for the first newspaper
beat when, as a Philadelphia jour
nalist, he answered a speech by the
king before it reached Amorica and
had the journal containing his answer
on the streets when the kings speech
arrived
The London Daily News says that
Paine was more than century ahead
of his time, and declares that Paine's
religious views have now won such
wide acceptance as to permit the cleo
ton to the presidency of the United
States of man who entertains similar
religious opinions.
The Daily News adds that "to Paine
is due the first project of international
arbitration and also that Paine was
the first to declare for the emansipa-'
ton of the slaves. the first to cham
pion the cause of woman. to insist upon
the rights of animals, and to expose
the criminal folly of dueling."
Perhaps the most interesting mat
ter in regard to Paine which the Daily
News points out is that he formulated
in the second part of 1.-THE Rights of
Man." detailed scheme for collage
pensions and a graduated income tax"
These radical reforms, the suggestion

JUST ANOTHER WORD

Still we larf. Why should we not,
as we think that neither the Statesman
nor the Union has ever had to peddle
its stock to unwilling buyers to get the
money necessary to exc out an exist
ence. Nor has either of the two reput-
able papers ever had to sell a $4,000
farm to keep its head above water. But
we have heard of those things being
done.
The Statesman is run on business
principles, 1t prints the news, and it
gets the news to print. 1t invites a
comparison with the other evening
paper at any time. For it knows
where that comparison would show the
papers. The Union, toos has nothing
in common with the calamity bowler
down the street, where a news item is
an affair. for extraordinary rejoicing.
The bunc has howled over the States
man with its improved" service. For
all that, it published purported tele-
graph story on Friday that the States
man published on Wednesday, an ac-
count of the cause of the shooting at
lone, Oregon. 1t is verify to larf
But what can be expected. The bunc
fathered by man whose disposition
is naturally soured because his political
pie, so carefully cut by himself, has
failed of the delivering, and his political
belly is as far from satiation as it
was before his chance shot seemed to
have landed him among the pie feed
ers at the head of the table A just
retribute And because of the fact
that his political paunch is little more
than an aching void, because his cramp-
ed craW grinds together with the
thought of the fat political job that
was not landed, he is venting his spleen
by an effort not unlike that of a mid
night dog baying fruitlessly at the
moon. The evening rehash was brought
into existence for the sole purpose OF
landing its disappointed progenitor in
a far political job. The ultimate aim OF
its existence has failed to materialize
The Union and Statesman are print

are getting it first hand. Their news
gatherers are on the spot and thei,

Though these figures do not cover
all of the employees in the. executive
civil Notwithstanding to the official
register on July 1, 1907, exclusive of
THE consular and diplomatic branches,
there were in the service 2S6,902 per-
sons-they are sufficiently representa-
tive to indicate the conditions with
which the government will have to
deal in case it undertakes to estab-
lish a system of old age insurance or
pensions.
The 164,O51 employees for which fig
ures have been obtained stand to the
2S6,902 in about the ratio of 4 to Z;
hence, assuming that the percentage
of those who have reached the age of
SIS is about the same in each case it
is probable that all told some 9646
employees in the executive civil service
exclusive of the consular and diplo-
matte service, afe IS years of age Or
older. For the table given above re-
veals that there are some 6512 en-
ploNes of IS years of age or older
among the 165,051 for whom statistics
have been obtained We may assume
then, that there are in round numbers,
about 10000 employees in the civil SER
vice, the vast majority of whom have
been to a create. or less degree dis
qualified by age.
The statistics obtained by the cen
sus bureau show that the average sal
airy increases with age until the age
of rs is reached, when it begins to fall
, off. The average salary for all ages
is 1913. Under 20 years it is $66S. 1t is
still below $1,000 at 80 years At so
to 81 years, it is $1065; at SIS to 50 it
| is s1O91; at so to IA years it is SLIPS;
at IS to 79, years it is $1,110: >at so
! years and over it is $1,063. If we ave'-
| age these figures we find that the re-
! suit for IS years and over is $1,097
If we may assume that all of our es
| timated 10000 employees falling within
| this group receive the same average
salary We find that the gf 2ernment
now pays them about s10,97O,0O0 a

AGE IN THE CIVIL SERVICE.

The interesting indications that
some provision will be made, and that
soon, fd- superannuated employees in
the federal civil service makes the
question of their numbers a highly
important one. Fortunately for this
discussion, the bureaus of the census
conducted an investigation into this
question no longer than two years ago.
the results of which, published In
Bulletin "a, should be of much value
now. It is possible from the figures
thus collated to study the age question
in the civil service from many points
of yiew-from that of sex, character
of appointment, marital condition, oc-
cupation, compensation, and so on.
But here we shall pause only to con-
slider one or two outstanding features.

button of employees in the executive
civil service by age and character OF
appointment may be consolidated as

Hundreds of thousands of Orange
men are participating today in their
annual anniversary celebrations, and
the Nish authorities have taken special
precautions to prevent trouble A few
years ago it appeared that the observ-
ance of the Twelfth of July by Pro-
testant Irish was dying out, but the
movement is now rapidly regaining it's
vigor, with the result that today's cell
ebration will probably be more enthu-
siastic than ever. The demonstration
of today centers at Belfast, and the
military there are confined to their
barracks, ready for instant action.
The Orange organization had it's
origin in the religious differences or
those Irishmen who wished to sd've
the Prince of Peace in different ways,
and it's history from the reformation
downward has been one of broken
heads and sudden death. The sanguin-
airy features of the annual celebration
of Orangemen's day have lessened with
the passing years, but it's observance
is still almost as deadly as the Amert-

All day long, year in and year out,

like boats in a stream, going to this
or that station for such service as they

and thither like patrol boats, ready to
arrest any contraband cargo of disease

The Term "Copper.u

While many police officials believe
that the term copper" as applied to
policemen had its origin in the use Of
The copper badges that were formerly
worn, an authority states, that the
word may be traced back to the Nor

1t Is a corruption of "catch." The
Normans not only applied it to the
eatchers of criminals. but to the i'm
plements used in catching or holding
them. There were hand cops" or
handouts, in the twelfth century,
and the Anglo-saxons used foot cops.
In the "Yocabulum, or the Rogues'

"Copped-Arrested The knuck was
copper to rights, skin full of honey

GETTING Ready For a Fresh Start.

Gwendolyn de Courtenay, the hand
some society favorite, was nervously
agitated. Even a blind baggage car
could see that. She paced up and
down in front of the large cheval
glass in her room. Evidently she was
greatly aggrieved over something.
Finally her high strung nerves got
churned up to such a pitch that she
lost control over herself and began to
clutch and tear wildly at her hair, pull
ing it out in large handfuls.
Your sympathetic nature is around
and you cry: THE poor woman is tenn
porarily insane. Why doesn't some
one stop her before she does herself
bodily injury? She must be in terrible
mental agony to stand the pain of
pulling her hair out by the roots
But hist! Be not too lavish with
your sympathy, friend. Up to now
Gwendolyn has pulled off only four
teen pounds of puffs, three miles of
interlocking switches and fews de-
tachable curls. She has some distance
to go yet before she touches the real,

merely distracted because her maid
cannot get her floating hirsute equip
