Ed. C. wills says: You will find
that II you do Just a little more than
is expected of you by an employer the
surplus work that you do will not lose
you anything. Your employer may
not seem TO appreciate what you do
for him by offering you an increase
in wages or by openly acknowledging
what you have done for him. but you
must consider that although you do
more than Is expected of you. you still
may not be worth an increase in
wages. Besides he may not be able
to show his appreciation in a remun-
erative way. owing to his financial
condition. but IT may manifest Itself
in recommendations aud good words,
wholly unknown to you which may
eventually bring You promotion with
other firms or other people. whose
business may warrant them to offer
YOU an increase in pay. Anyway. II
has often been proven that the man

JAMES T. HARAHAN.

II is unfortunate that an intlexih.e
rule as TO retirement for age has
operated against j T. Harahan, presi.
dent Or the Illionis Central Railroad
Company Mr. Hayahan shortly lays
down the active duties OF the presi-
dency OF the Illinois Central, after
having been connected with II in var
ious capacities for more than twenty
years
AS president of the Illinois Central
for a few years and as chief oper-
ating official of that road for many
years, Mr. Harahan has been the con
sistent friend Of the people In the
southern territory. As a railroad
operator he was efficient, and the eS.
perience that he secured with each
year of service added to his worth.
Mr. Harahan began railroading when
telegraph facilities We're meagre,
when engines were fired with wood,
when rails were wrought iron, and
double tracks were unheard of. He
developed along with American raj :
roads. He kept abreast OF the times
He utilized for tne road he con,
trolled every Improvement that adde's
70 safety and 10 efficiency. He was
master of the science of railroa,i-
ing in all its branches.
During the last year Mr.. Harahan
WIS probably more active than in any
other year OF his life Men whom he
had \ right to trIst aad who under
all tine ordinary experiences of life
man would trust, proved to be un.
faithful. They formed a system ri
graft that almost bafed detection. Mr.
Harahan was the man VINO discovered
II, and he was the man who directed
every force toward exposing 1t. And
10 hin. more than any other man Is
due the fact that the wrong-doers
We're exposed, and that a greater part
OF the money they secured was recov
cred back into the treasury of tne
illinois Central.
The Commercial Appeal hopes that
Mt, Harahan viii continue to give ia
ms heighbors and friends the benefit
of his experience in some sort of az
I'VE occupation. If he should decide

! SOCIALIST GRAFTERS
BY Il. E. Potter.

The Socialists obtained control in
France, but the rank and file OF the
party have not realized from this as
they expected. Leaders got into
power, secured the high places in the
government, and were chosen mem
hers of the national legislative body
but the masses fail to discover any
material change for the better in
their condition. Trey have to work
for living, as hard as ever. There
is no move to make property common
to all the people. The workers at
manual or other labor for wages or
salaries no more work for themselves
now than formerly The rich flourish
as ever The poor are drawn upoa
for a large standing army the same
as of yore Nowhere are strikes for
| shorter hours OF higher wages more
effectively or quickly met and sup
pressed. After the suppression OF
railroad strike recently, the premier
was petitioned to take back into the
service all the strikers. This he de-
elired to do. and an appeal was
| taken to the legislative assembly.
| This body sustained the premier by 4
large majority, In only one matter
has the government exhibited the
| communistic or socialistic character
1t was supposed TO possess wnen civ
en- power 1t conhscated church prop
erty, avowedly for public benefit The
proceeds Of this coniscation may find
their way into the public treasury,
but 1t is surmised and charged that a
large part OF then. stick to the hands
of public officials.
| The French socialistie grafters en-
Joy their eminence and power, and
| the incomes that come of their posi-.
tons; and they have not the most
4 distant idea OF surrendering their
| possessions of property TO take their
chances with the masses in working
for themselves. They prefer working
for others. This is human nature
When wage toiler becomes very
rich, through mis- ability and wisdom
and fayoring circumstances, usual y
he is very 0stentauous in displaying
his wealth. He loses his democratic
ways and ideas. Personal ambition
pride and interest are paramount. Ht
loses the interest he formerly felt In
the laboring class to which ne be.
longed and their welfare becomes see
ondary to him.
I Whatever be their talk before they
get into power, the leaders OF a great
party will not be rash in carrying GU
: their party policies when they ge
control OF government. They are wis,
enough to know that changes In TIN
!; policy Of the government must b,
slow and gradual, else there is DANCE
of precipitating crisis in the coun
\ try that would be disastrous to thei
constituents as well az to all Others
They would be subject TO abuse from
4 the radicals Of their party, as wa
Al Abraham Lincoln. RI the Socialist
got power in this country, the grea
, bulk Of the party would die withou
seeing the changes they expected
and the high officers would be excor
lated without limit as grafters look
Ing only to their personal comfor
and interests.

DOING THEIR DUTY.

Sheriff Fraser and Chief Deputy
Greaney yesterday gave the people Of
Gao d sample of the kind OF ser
vice they have been In need OF for
some years past. The man who did
the bloody work with his knife on
Sunday and succeeded in getting out
Of tie city was brought back to the
city, and In few hours after he had
escaped found himself behind the
bars in.the county Jail
That is the kind of work which the
people have right 10 expect from
their chief peace officers. but
for which they have been looking In
vain from some Of Sheriff Fraser's
predecessors. II IL the kind of Off
clal service which compels respect
for officers Of the law and makes fo-
peace IN d community by restraining
the lawlessly inclined.
When other sheriffs have been
criticised for neglect of dnty as peace
officers, for being utterly Indifferent
to crime in the community, and takine
no steps whatever to capture offen,l
ers who had escaped from the city
the answer has been always that thu
county board made no allowance fol
sllch work or service. This was no
true; for the county board allowet
them $4,000 as salary for sheriff, an,
In addition to this $500 for "all 9th.
cir expenses Of the office"--sueh ex
fenses to include clerk hire and any
other expenses that might be incident
Al to the performance of any duties
required under the law. Tie sheriff
gets something also out OF the feed
ing Of prisoners.
1t may be that this is not enough
Perhaps the $4,000 for Expenses
will be nearly all taken up by clet'
hire during tax collecting time and q
other times. But that is anothe
matter. 1t can be said that In case
where extraordinary crimes are con
Inittel and extraordinary efforts ar,
necessary to capture escaped Grin
inais, rewards are generally offered
and u this Is not the case the count,
hoard probably will do what Is RICH
In such cases.
The important thing is that III
present sheriff Is not likely to s
quietly in his office. or stand aroun
With his hands in his pockets, when
serious crime has been committed
the community and the offender ha
escaped. or Is about to escape
the pretense that the county boa
has not specifically set aside funds I
