The Snort Of Roller Skating.

That roller skating is becoming an I'M
portant sport among the young people OF
this city is made evident by the large
crowds which frequent the Augusta Roila
way every afternoon and evening. Every
body seems to DC pleased with the new man
agement, which is doing all within its power
10 encourage roller skating in this city. II
has even gone so far as to have a new
floor laid, and all of the skates remodelied.
Particular attention Is given to beginners
by the uniformed help, who are employed
by the management solely for this purpose
Mr. Murree, manager of the Rollaway is q
man Of no little experience and he says
that within a short time he will revive the
sport OF roller skating in this city although
for the past few years it has been very
quiet. One of the noticeable features since
the new management has taken control Is
the good music which is furnished by the
electric military band organ. This music
and the good order maintained are evidently
appreciated for . better class of people fire.

the sincere hope that no one of the

Whether they shall or not depends
on Mr.. Callahan. 1t is up to him to

ca pital Tales S
End of Young's Term.

The appointment by Governor Carroll

to fill the vacancy caused by the death
of Senator Dolliver has raised vast
amount of discussion in the State as to
when Senator Young's term will expire.
Some have contended that 1t will

that it will end when the Legis-
lature takes up the matter of
the election, others that II will
end when the Legislature gets through

has been raised. also, whether, If the
Legislature ends in a deadlock and ad-
journs without electing anybody, SEN
ator Young will still be Senator.
Senator Burrows, chairman of the
Senate Committee on Privileges and
Elections, said today the practice OF the

lature elects. If 1t adjourns without
electing anyone, then the term of the

EXPLAINS
HIS SAVING PLANS
Scientific Management, He Declares, Is the Only Way
for the Railroads to Reduce Expenses More Than
, Million Dollars Day.
BY JUDSoN C. wELLIvER.

Louis D. Brandeis, of Boston, today
told how the railroads could save that
million day which he promised, some
time ago.
Mr.. Brandeis insists that it's easy
money. He told, item by item. where to
save 1t, and how. He showed that some
railroads are now saving parts of IT,
compared to others. He told how
cheaply the Santa Fe road conducts its
shops, car and locomotive repairs, COM
pared to its competitor, the Southern
Pacific, and told how the Santa Fe
does It
He showed that the New York Gen.
trail pays out in damage settlements
over $3,0OO,0OO a year. The Pennsyl-
vania pays out a little more than half
as much. with bigger business. Why?
Because the Pennsylvania approximateS

Mr.. Brandeis would have the scien-
tific managerial methods which the
Santa Fe applies to shops and repairs.
applied by every road in the country,
saving millions. He would have the
New York Central manage its business
as well as does the Pennsylvania, so
as to save that big difference in dam
age claims.
In short. Mr.. Brandeis' argument, pre-
sented before the Interstate Commerce
Commission. was a simple. understand
able plea for scientific management

alton with view to reduce energy and
cost spent on 1t; 8, standardizing
methods, material and equipment; 6,
keeping records of industrial per-
formance; Z, paying adequate re-
wards for individual accomplish
mentS.
On the basis of these principles,
which were elaborated and illus
trated, great business enterprises
have effected immense savings in
operating. A system developed on
these lines enabled the Santa Fe to
reduce cost of betting in the Topeka
shop from $4,000, in 1904, to $3.50,

Treasury a sum that if CONSIDERABLY
handled, with reference to the Just
deserts of another army of Govern
ment dependents, might have done JUS
tice to all.
Not one dollar of additional expen-
diture need have been involved. We
have small doubt that the Weeks
amendment alone would have reduced
the pension appropriation enough to
make possible a comfortable increase
in the ancient and ossified salary list
of the civil service which stands as a
continuing reproach to Congress.
Is there never to be a time when a
modest share in the generosity of the
Government will go to pay the debt
which fairness and decency demand for
the civil service workers?
Will there never be demand for an
hour of Congress though, single roll
call, in behalf of this other army of
faithful servants? Its ranks, too, in
clude many whose footsteps totter,
whose burden of years is heavy on
them, whose eyes are dimming aud

Will not some champion rise and
perform for this deserving army OF
civil employees the service which
Speaker Cannon, with his splendid ap-
peal to patriotic sentiments and
generous instincts, performed for the
survivors of that mighty host which
preserved the union?
If one army fought to save the
nation, the other has faithfully served
it. Both are well deserving.
Must the clerical workers in the
Great Governmental establishment for
ever go snubbed, unrecognized, and
underpaidH Congress raises its own
salaries, does justice to the President
and Cabinet, deals fairness to the
judiciary, and raises army and navy,
officers and men. to new wage level.
But never q word or a thought for
the toiling multitude who cannot quit
lest they starve, and can scarcely
escape starving if they remain at their
posts.
Surely il cannot continue thus for
ever. The Governments business will
break down under the strain of this
constant invitation to superannuation,
ineffciency, and broken self-respect.
Then reform will come-and it will be
a frightfully expensive reform, if it is
delayed much longer.

SMITH LOOMS UP
IN EIGHTH CIRCUIT
Taft Believed to Have Decid-
ed to Name Representa-
tive for Court.
WILL SHOW ATTITUDE
TOWARD INSURGENTS
Latter Faction Insists on Appoint
ment Of Norris of
Nebraska.

Members of Congress are awaiting
with more than ordinary interest Presi-
dent Taft's appointment of Judge for
the Eighth Federal circuit to succeed
Judge Van Devanter. who recently was
promoted to the United States Supreme
Court. There Is 4 general feeling that
in making this appointment the PresI-
dent will demonstrate his attitude to-
ward insurgent Republicans on ths
one hand and stand-patters on the
other.
Each faction Of the Republican party
has a candidate for the judicial va
cancy, and each candidate is represen-
tative of his particular faction. 1t is.
generally believed that the President
has about made up his mind to appoint
Representative Walter I. Smith of Iowa..
the one member of the Iowa delegation
who has stood with Speaker Cannon
from the inception of the insurgent
movement. and who was nominated and
elected at the last Congressional cleo
ton on a stand-pat platform.
Insurgents for Norris.
Insurgents in the House who believed
that President Taft, early in the ses-
sion, was prepared 10 bury the hatchet
and recognize them on an equal foot
ing with the regulars, presented the
name of Representative George W.
Norris of Nebraska, one of the most
prominent insurgents in the House,
and the nan who led the fight against
the rules a year ago which resulted in
depriving Speaker Cannon Of his place
on the Committee on Rules. Norris is
well as insurgent Representatives, and
i is now felt that the Presidents choice
as between the two men will indicate
clearly what may be expected from him
during The remainder OF his Admins
tration.
Insurgents in both branches of Con-
gress point out that the Eighth cir
cult comprises a stretch of territory
of insurgent States. prominent among
them being Iowa, Nebraska and Kan
sas. The sentiment against Repre-
sentative Smith in these three in
surgent States is SO pronounced that
many of the newspapers are protest
ing that the appointment of so pro-
nounced a stand-patter to the Federal
circuit court in that district would
be an insult to the voters who have
been fighting stand-pat Representa-
tives for years.
Experience As Judges.
Both Smith and Norris have had
experience on the bench, each man
having served as judge in the State
courts. President Taft is understood
to be waiting for a formal indorse-
ment of Smith from the entire Iowa
delegation. Thus far this indorse-
ment has not been forthcoming, al
though it is expected that the Iowa
members will caucus in a few days to
determine their attitude toward
Smith.
Norris has refused to ask for the
place. although his name is being
urged on the President, not only be
cause of his ability as a lawyer and
a judge. but because his appointment
would be accepted generally as an
evidence that the President is dis
posed to dispense the patronage at
his disposal without regard to the
factfonal quarrels in the House and
Senate.
