Manners Not Like Clothes,

Manners are not like clothes. It is
a bad thing to have two suits of
them-one for home and the other for
abroad. Wear your best manners all
the time. They suffer more by being
put away than by constant use. If
you keep your best manners for COM
pany only they will fit you badly, and
your visitors will suspect that they
were put on for them. Second best
clothes may be worn at home, but not
so second-best manners.

ENGLAND AND THE COLONIES

The beginning of the reign of George
V is being marked by significant
event in the opening up Of the Home
Rule Parliament in South Africa. Only
few years since this same territory
was the scene of bitter struggle with
the Mother Country. The war was
fierce and bloody and IL one were then
| to forecast the future relationships
between Great Britain and the South
African colonies he would not be like
ly to see anything but deep rooted en-
nifty fostered among the Dutch COL
onies in particular which would take
advantage of every opportunity to OPP
pose British rule there. Yet, paradox
ical as 1t may seem, British statesmen
have seen At to unite the whole terri
tory into aaHome Rule Commonwealth.
While this action in South Africa may
appear at first sight as an unwarrant-
ed move on the part of British states
| men, it is nevertheless not a new ex-
pertinent for the same remedy has
been applied with successful results in
other disgruntled possessions Of the
British Crown.
Canada and Australia are examples
of the successful application of Home
Rule. Since these countries have had
the privilege of making their own laws
they have grown prosperous and it
cannot be said that the unity Of the
British Empire has suffered as re-
suit. On the other hand the prosperity
and peace which these possessions
have enjoyed has gone far toward
making their relationships with the
Mother Country more satisfactory than
would likely be il denied the inalien-
able right of self government.
But we cannot induce ourselves to
think that it Is wholly a sense of duty
that is prompting England to recog-
nize the rights of the oversee possess
sions. 1t is the only prudent course
left open to British statesmen at the
| present time. Australia, it Is true,
has prospered under Home Rule, but
| Australia Is not over much in love
with a British brand of ownership.
Canada, too has her Parliament and
only the other day, Frederick Villiers,
the English war correspondent in an
address before the Canadian Club at
| Victoria, B. c., made the kindly little
suggestion to those loyal subjects that
it would be we'll for them to have a
standing army Of no less than thirty
thousand men ready for Englands dis
posal in case of an emergency. Now
this would be very desirable proce-
dure II the Canadians had the welfare
of England at heart. But have they?
Or are they not more likely to have
their own interests at heart? If the
latter is true. and common sense is a
strong argument for it's tenability,
Canadian statesmen are not likely to
burden themselves in protecting the
interests Of a country that has ever
sinned in its gluttonous greed for pow
er. Another consideration that will
bear on their action 10 the fact that
in the event Of a rupture with England
the Monroe Doctrine would become
operative.

The Departmental Salary Scale.

To the Editor OF Inc Otar
In a recent editorial of The Star it was
stated, as it has been stated many times
previously and otherwhere. that the scale
of wages Of departmental clerks has re-
NAMED unchanged for a generation. This
Is a grave mistake, and should not stand
uncorrected. 1t is true that when the
departments were organized. the highest
salary of a clerk was $500. and that
this is still the highest salary in the
classified service, except for few pc.
sitions of a technical character. But
fifty years ago $1,000 was the lowest sal.
airy paid to male clerks. and $500 was the
lowest paid to women-a grade called
"copyist.''
Probably the first grade added was at
$72O for women. This was previous to
1875. After 1877 a grade at $1,000 was
added for men. Then followed the sup
Elemental grades of $40. $500. $500, $3.50
and $3.50. In the meantime the working
half time This makes nine reductions
of the standard of clerical or subclerical
wages.
It would be difficult to make a me-
chanic believe that his scale of wages had
remained unchanged for thirty three
years if he had to begin today seven
grades lower and with an hour and a
half added to his working day. Many men
are ten years in the classified service
before they reach the wages at which a
the average wages of women in the serv.
Ice are lower than the entrance wages of
forty years ago.
This gathers weight, in view of the
fact that the standards of living, and
even the absolute necessities of life, are
higher than at any point Of time in fifty
years. including-in everything but the
prices Of cotton goods-the period of the
civil war. Meantime bricklayer
wages, a paperhanger's wages, any me-
chanic's wages. have doubled, and the
price Of house service has tripled. Not
withstanding this discriminating record,
Congress seems to see no reason for add
ing to clerical wages, and while the
overworked public servants In their mar
BILE palaces on the hill add so per cent to
their own salaries. and fling out millions
for the men and implements Of war, some
Of them say the clerks are getting all
they earn, provision for the retirement
of those who have wasted their lives in
the service is refused. and reduction of
force and additional hours of labor are
premeditated. The comforts of the poor
are taken to add to the luxury of the
rich, and the conditions prevail which
doomed the splendid but corrupt civiliza.

With 1.-THE Pride of Our Nation. Wash
ington, D. c., Shall Soon Be AS Dry AS
Georgia and Tennessee as their slogan,
| a large number of temperance workers
gathered In the Mount Vernon Place
Methodist Episcopal Church South. 9th
street and Mount Vernon place north
| west last night. and listened to an ad-
| dress on prohibition in the District of
Columbia by eN-Gov. Robert Glenn OF
North Carolina. The address was given
| under the auspices of the District Of
Columbia Woman's Christian Temperance
Union.
The speaker declared that the members
Of the w. c. T. u would live not only to
see the District of Columbia dry. but
the whole United States as well. He
said temperance Is bound to conquer, as
there is no argument by which the manu-
liquors can teach the people that the use
Of intoxicants is better for them.
Duty Of the People.
He said that IL the people believe the
use of intoxicants is a blessing. brings
happiness into the homes. and is for the
good Of the country then the people ought
to go before Congress and ask that the
heavy revenue on intoxicating liquors be
removed. But, on the other hand he
said that If the use of intoxicants de-
stroys homes, the bodies of men and
women and finally causes death and de-
struction, then the people ought to go
and knock at the doors of the Senate
and House of Representatives and de-
mand that the representatives of the
people stop the liquor traffic.
He declared that If the members OF
Congress do not take action against the
curse of intoxicating liquor the people
will turn against them and elect those
who will.
Il used to take a little for my stom-
ach's sake said Mr. Glenn, land am
sorry to say at times I took a little too
much. But never again."
Statistical Showing.
He gave figures showing the number
Of inmates Of insane asylums. poorhouses
and OF the jails In North Carolina, many
Of whom. he declared, were placed In
those institutions because of the use of
intoxicating liquors. He concluded by
urging the Christian people Of the Dis
trict Of Columbia to ask Congress to take
action at once to stop the liquor traffic
here.
