Inauguration Day.
From the Philadelphia Record.


1t is mere childishness to pretend that
the effort to secure a later Inauguration
day has nothing behind 1t except the in
terests of Washington hotels and board
ing houses. Their interests are merely
the interests of the 100000 people or more
possibly 100000 people-who go from all
parts of the country to see a President
take Office. 1t is not simply a recreation
or a show. 1t is good deal of political
education to visit Washington when an
administration changes. This country
covers a vast area, and the one danger is
the lack of contact between the people
and the national government The prac-
tice of going to see an inauguration ought
to be encouraged. The House judiciary
committee has acted unanimously in
favor Of a measure to change the date
from March to the last Thursday of
April. On account of prolongng the
presidential term 1t requires q constitu-
tional amendment. and while 1T is almost
impossible to get the Constitution amend
ed, the fact that no one can have any
motive for opposing the proposed change
encourages the belief that If Congress
will do its part three-fourths of the states
will do the rest.

Washington.
From the Philadelphia Inquirer.

The Senate has passed a bill appro-
priating $12,000.000 for the erection of
new department buildings in Washing
ton. structures which are sadly needed.
The ground has been secured and the
buildings will be placed according to
the Burnham plan for making the city
the most beautiful in the world. Not
voice in the Senate was raised
against the appropriation, but it is said
there will be some opposition in the
House. The bill should pass. There
are several great departments which
are not properly housed, and we shall
have to erect many more buildings be-
fore the sweep from the Capitol to the
White House is filled with proper public
structures. Washington is improving
all the time, and in a few years ought
to be pretty close to the ideal. The i'm
portant thing about Washington Is that
1t is growing as a city outside of mere
official affairs. 1t Is becoming more
and more the home of the cultured and
scientifically trained people of the
country. A few generations hence it
will be the capital of the country in
more than it's present restricted sense
The nation is willing to spend any rea :
sonable sum to make Washington a
credit not only to the country, but to
the whole world.

The Governments PAY Roll.

Figures were printed I'm The Star last
evening which cast light upon the Ques-
ton of departmental salaries during the
last twenty-five years in a manner to give
strength to the claim that a readjustment
or revision of the salary scale is due. 1t
was shown by these statistics that while
the number of government employees
drawing 5000 year and over is 81
times greater today than in 1885, the
number of employees receiving salaries be-
low 5000 has increased little less than
% per cent. This means that while the
government pay roll has been enlarged at
the top 1t has remained practically sta
tionary in the great middle class of work
ers, the men who must bear the chief
burden of the task, upon whom the re-
sponsibility directly rests for the faithful
performance of the governments work,
and whose financial burden is relatively
heaviest. A more equitable adjustment
would have resulted in a larger percentage
of increases in the middle class and a
smaller percentage of increases in the
higher class.
The tables printed in The Star demon
strate that the greater part of the in
creased cost of running the departmental
service is due to the payment of the
larger salaries and is not due to the up
keep OF the clerical organizations. The
average salaries of the clerks in Wash
ington have remained actually stationary
during more than a quarter of a century.
AS was recently pointed out by CORE
spondent whose letter was printed in The
Star, the average department clerk is
worse off today than he was two or three
decades ago. for while his scale Of pay
has remained unchanged, his cost of liv-
ing has increased. The wage scales in all
other lines of occupation have been
amended from time to time to meet new
conditions and changes in the economic
situation, but the government has not un-
dertaken any such equitable revision of
its pay roll as that which has been ac
complished by practically all the other
large employers in this country. The only
conspicuous instance of salary increase
during the last twenty-five years has been
the addition of so per cent to the salaries
Of members of Congress-.

New York Politics.
From the New York World.


The election of Senator Cobb as tempo
rary president of the senate, against the
earnest advice of leaders like Senator
Root and Gov. Hughes, is worse than a
blunder; it is a deliberate affront to the
decent sentiment of this state. The
times called for a complete change in the
leadership of the senate. Public opinion
demanded 1t and political prudence die
tated it. The old elements in control
had thoroughly discredited themselves
Now when the opportunity comes to
exercise at least common sense as practi-
cal politicians. they deepen their dis
credit by a browning act of folly both In
flouting wise counselors and aggravating
popular hostility. For the sake of re-
tanning the forms OF power at Albany
the little bosses who united their forces
behind Senator Cobb showed their utter
contempt for every consideration except
their own present vanity. 1t is a costly
victory for the organization, victory
that weakens IL with it's own supporters
and raises up legions of fresh enemies
against 1t. Neither the public interest
nor party principles nor platform pledges
have had any weight as against the per-
sonal ends of men who know themselves
- be self-condemned in advance by their
action.

The Place and the Man.

The experience of young Mr.. Knox in
the matter of finding employment sug-
gests that no able-bodied man with ability
to do any particular thing or to render
even unskilled labor need suffer for lack
of a job. This young man, having en-
barked somewhat suddenly upon a matri-
monial career and incurred thereby the
displeasure of his parents. has found 1t
necessary to secure a sustaining place in
the world of affairs. The publicity given
to his affairs has resulted in many ten
ders of positions to him. These have come
from different parts of the country and
they are mostly in the lines of mechanic
ing to know the motives Of those who are
Offering places to this young man. When
Johnny Hayes returned from London aft
deluged with business propositions. Most
Of them were undoubtedly inspired by a
desire to utilize the fame of the athlete

al runner. decision which he has prob
ably since regretted, especially as he
has been a rather conspicuous failure on
the track since the London race. How
ever, this is not TO suggest that those
who are now offering young Mr.. Knox
positions are inspired by less worthy
motives than q benevolent desire to assist
a young man in making his way in the

pable workers, even while such men are
awaiting the call to serve. Much Of the
trouble arises from the fact that the idle
ones prefer to toll In cities. They want
to choose their kind of employment.
They would rather be unoccupied for
months while awaiting a oongenial town
job than go to q distance to get employ
ment This is particularly true in the
case Of farm labor. If the idle men In
the cities could be shifted to farms there
would be an immense gain to both sides.
The farmers pay better wages than can
be obtained In many lines of employment
In the cities, and while the toll is severe.
1t is wholesome. If any way can be
found to bring the supply and the demand
i'm the labor market together millions will
be added to the country's wealth.

Carnegie.

In his statement published today-that
during the panic of 1907 he might have
made fifty million dollars by specializing
on prevailing distresses-we get a new
idea both Of the extent OF Mr.. Carnegie's
wealth and the spirit that now controls
him respecting the acquisition Of money.
He has so much he not only does not
care for more, but turns from opportuni-
ties to make more. 1t is easy to believe
him. His course Of late years supports
his assertion But when, in the history
of the world since money first began to
exercise its charm, has this been true of
a man educated in money-making and
successful almost beyond belief?
