IRREGULAR PAYDAY
IS HARDSHIP FOR
PUBLIC LADORERS
Protest Is Made by Employe
on Government Buildings
and Grounds.

Why are the iaborers on the public
buildings and grounds not allowed q
regular pay day. The question has been
sharply raised by letter to The Times
which has been written by one Of the
laborers, and copy of 1t sent to the
President, Secretary of War, Colonel
Cosby, and other high officials.
It appears Colonel Cosby went on a
vacation, and the August pay day was
deferred until September g. Meantime,
grocery bills suffered. The letter fol-
lows:
"In behalf Of the laborers on the pub
lie buildings and grounds, win you
please publish this in your paper 80
that justice may be done the men.
1T always has been the rule to pay
the men on the second Of the month,
unless It falls on a holiday; then pay -
received on the third But now we have
40 special day whatever, as 1t is left
to Colonel Cosby's pleasure when he
thinks it is time to pay, after we have
TO wait one month for II. We win not
get pay for August until September G.
as the colonel is enjoying his vacation
with his wife.
day for time we work, and also lose our
halliday holidays II we should happen
TO be sick and stay home and not send
in certificate.
IT, one of the men, have q wife
and three children and have to pay
rent and grocery bills, and all that T
will get this month will be s3026. Once
before. when pay day was held over. I
had to pay a disposess notice after I
had notified my agent. but he says It
is rule to serve them II the money
does not come on time. The grocery
men doubt you, because they say the
Government always pays on time.
Now, all the high salaried officers get
theirs on time, as they need IL, but the
laborers can wait, as they do not need
1t. Why not let the high officials wait
until about the fifth or sixth OF the
month and see what a rumpus they
would make?
las your paper is a friend of the
working class, will you help US out In
our fight" / cannot sign my name, as
I am afraid of a bareback.

Ways and Means Committee. It is
good to know just how the Post re-
CARDS that particular variety of scan
dal.
And the Herald slaps Messrs. Jones
and Glass on the wrist with its OBJ
servation that they "would have
emerged from defeat with more credit
to themselves if they had conducted
their campaign upon higher stand
ard" Might we ask if the Herald
meant by that to reprove Mr.. Jones
for reading the Martin letters and tell
ing the story of the Swanson tobacco
speculationsf
Mr.. Martin admitted the authorship
of the letters. Mr.. Swanson admitted
the tobacco deal. Does the Herald pro-
test that those matters were not of
interest and concern to the people of
Virginia, when they made part of the
records of gentlemen seeking to repre-
sent the State that produced Washing
ton, jefferson, and Madisoni
Last evening the Star gave its view
of the Virginia result. 1t says of the
two Senators:
AS Senators they were standing upon
straight party records. As men they
were enjoying the respect Of their as
sociates at home and abroad. Each
was in the prime Of his powers. They
were thus thrice armed.
Here we have the estimates placed
up the railroad Tobacco trust-street
car gashouse Senators who represent
Virginia and help govern Washington.
In order that there may be no uncer-
tainty that it glories in the ignominy
OF being with the losers, The Times will
repeat what it said before the primary
and still believes:
Degraded from jefferson to Martin,
Virginia ought to look itself in the face,
put on the sackcloth, and. taking a
stout club in hand, redeem itself by
cleaning out the rotten old machine
that makes the State a byword among
communities that know what decent
politics is.
Is there serious difficulty deciding
how the Washington newspapers line
up!

Parents to Receive
Maine Victims Ring

A gold ring, with onyx setting, is the
grim momento Of the battleship Maine
disc stcr, which the parents of a victim.
Assistant Engineer Darwin R. Merritt.
will soon receive from the Secretary
Of the Navy.
From the sodden debris Of the battle
chip in Havana harbor, after the skele-
ton of Engineer Merritt had been found,
the ring was sifted- II Is now In pos
session Of the Secretary Of the Navy,
and will be given to Merritt's father,
the Rev. W. w. Merritt, of Red Oak,
Iowa, where the remains of the victim
were recently uttered.
Some mystery is attached to the re-
covery of the ring. 1t was rumored and
denied that the ring was found. A Ha-
vana newspaper later admitted that II
had the golden circlet, and would de-
liver it in time. Through the United
States minister at Havana, the ring
was passed to Col William NJ Black
of the navy engineers raising the Maine
hulk, and transferred by him to the Sec
rotary of the Navy.

PLEADS FOR SYMPATHY
FOR BINFORD GIRL
To the Editor of THE TIMES;

To the Editor of THE TIMES:
II there ever were an instance of
Eve did it." that, pathetic instance is
given In the cowardly testimony Of
Henry Clay Beattie, jr., as he tries to
save his life and remnant OF what Is
left to him by getting behind Beulah

bility with this bad girl that would
down any one to perdition and would
destroy every vestige of sympathy were
such testimony given by any woman

extenuation of his crime with her, that

How can the world hope for moral
standards when reprobates and immor-
ais, to save themselves, are ready with
such arguments and have hearing
for sympathy in such? There is only
the plea for a common humanity In
this, for the woman; but certainly not
more than that for the man. Stand
ards of morals are equal moods grace.
Why not in the worlds eyes? Both sit
uations are sad enough. but the young
man has the added accusation of trial
for murder of his loyal wife-an added
aspersion to meet-shall this poor. i'm
moral girl without home or protective
kindred be made the scapegoat for this
pampered young rich mans son?

whatever awaits her-even guiltless-if
she were, of the stain which she does
not deny, there will be scant enough
encouragement and comfort extended to

DENVER WANTS MAN AS
FLIRT-CATCHER.

Equal rights are correlated to equal
duties, and out in the West where
woman's sphere is being constantly en-
larged the leveling process has just
had a unique application. In short,
the Denver police have decided to
employ an official flirt-catcher to pro-
tect the men from the Establishments
of the women.
1t was in Los Angeles that this cru
SADIE against flirting took on a special
interest. The young woman who had
been employed to inveigle the street
Johnnies into the tolls of the law
overplayed her part. She captured a
number of young men who gave her a
wink or a nod without the formality
of an introduction, but on investiga-
ton it was found that she was so
fetchingly dressed that a man must
have been less or more than human to
have ignored her as she passed. -,
The consequence was that the chief
of police gave her notice that her serv-
ices would no longer be required.
But when the suggestion once got
abroad, other cities decided that it
would be a good thing to have flirt-
catcher, and number of them are now
in full play-so much so that the aver
age man is afraid to turn his head
when he walks down the street.
So it has remained for Denver 20
come to the rescue of the downtrodden
masculine half of humanity. Acting
upon the assumption that a man is as
defenseless as a woman when some one
wants to firt with him, the Denver
authorities are advertising for a tall,
good looking youth with magnetic per-
sonality, whose clothes fit him, and
who would like to walk the streets as
a fiirt-catcher.
1t will be interesting to note the
experience of this glass of fashion and
mold of FORM" If conditions are such
as they have been represented, it is
high time some kind of safeguards
were thrown about the men of Denver.
1t is painful to think of modest, we'll
behaved young men who are unable to
pass along the leading thoroughfares
without being subjected to the bold
glances of the women who happen to
be fascinated with them. The con-
slant embarrassment to which they
are subjected is positively exasperating.
1t may seem like a mean advantage
to employ some sartorially perfect
Adonis as a means of breaking up the
lady firts, but perhaps the cynical will
argue that they have brought it upon
themselves. But, in the meantime, in
cidentally, the Adonis has not yet
been found.

THE RECORD ON VIR-
GINA.

The record is now complete The
Washington Star last evening pre-
scented its fluctuations to Virginia and
the reelected Virginia Senators. 1t is
therefore possible to give\our readers
the complete lineup of Washington
newspaperdom, that they may choose
with what paper they will stand.
The Virginia campaign presented to
the State and nation a fair gauge of
a man who has risen to be leader OF
his party on the floor of the Senate.
He was presented as writer of begging
letters to railroad lobbyists, beseeching
contributions to campaign chests, lest
the Legislature might be "anti-rail-
road!'
1t gave accurate measure of the
patriotism and sincerity of a man
whom Virginia has honored as Con-
gresham, governor and Senator; and
it set him forth as the thrifty dealer
in Tobacco trust preferred" drawing
down the profits on neat little turn
the while telling his constituents how
he hated the octopus
Very well. On this record, the Wash.
ington Post presented thus its con.
gratulations:
The return Of Messrs. Martin and
Swanson to the Senate will be hailed
with satisfaction by their colleagues
Of both sides of the chamber and the
public at large.
simultaneously the Herald opined
thus:
Virginia has acted wisely. Senators
Martin and Swanson have been faithful
servants of the State, and deserved
the reelection. The would be
wearers of the Senatorial toga ,
certainly would have emerged from de-
feat with more credit to themselves II
they had conducted their campaign
upon higher standard.
As to these delicate tributes of the
morning contemporaries, we have been
at loss to be certain of the exact
relevancy. The Post alludes to "Sena.
tor Swanson's amiable infraction,'
apparently having in mind the Sena.

OPPOSED TO WAVING

and a soldier Of the United States my
self for fourteen years, I wish most
heartily to condemn such letters as that
written to the Mail Bag, September s.

Such letters as his do not deserve the
honor OF an answer. AS his attitude
plainly indicates, he has not Travelled

the patriotism, -mindedness and un-

WASHINGTON TIMES BUREAU,
ALEXANDRIA. VA. SEPT. 9

Both the corporation and circuit
courts win convene In this city Monday
next for the fall term. Judge Louis C.
Barley will preside at the former and
Judge ]. B. T. Thornton at the latter.
A special grand jury has been sum-
moned to appear in the corporation
court to consider several cases, includ-
ing that of Edward Travers, held for
the murder Of Alice Gallahorne, the
aged seeress, and William Harris, col
ored, for the murder of Mary Martin.
That this body will also delve into the
affairs of the defunct Mercantile Rail-
way Building and Loan Association is
regarded as highly probable.
Owing to the fact that both courts
meet on the same day, the sessions Of
the circuit court will be held in the
chambers of the United States court in
the Federal building.
At a meeting of the city school board

TAFT WILL DECIDE
WILEY CASE JUST
BEFORE TRIP WEST
Word From Beverly Gives
No Hint, However, of
Nature. of Verdict.

That President Taft will render his
decision in the Wiley case before he
leaves on his tour Of the West, is the
report now coming from Beverly. The
character Of the decision, however, is
as much a matter Of conjecture AS
ever
When Congress adjourned II was
common understanding that the case
would be held back till the Moss In
Vestigating Committee shall have op-
portunity TO report. The politicians
and the supporters Of Wiley do not
agree as to the probable significance of
the repoi ted decision to settle the mat
ter earlier.
DR.. Wiley's friends in Washington
very generally feel gloomy about the
prospect, and fear that Wiley will be
dismissed; possibly accompanied by Nc
Cabe and Dunlap. and perchance- to be
followed later by Secretary Wilson.
On the other hand. the politicians think
that If an early decision is given. 1t
will favor Wiley, and that the Presi-
dent will make 1t early, in order to
take the wind out of the Moss COM
mittee's sails.
The persistence with which all kinds
Of organizations are giving indorse-
ments to Wiley, and demanding his re-
tenuon, is the most remarkable feature
concerning recent developments in the
case. The chief chemist Is swamped
with invitations.
The Pennsylvania State Pharmaceu-
teal Examining Board has adopted res
clutions praying his retention, and
lauding HIS scientific ability, integrity
and devotion to duty" and declaring
that his removal would be a direct
blow at the integrity of a conscien-
tious, faithful, and efficient public SER
want, as well as a great loss to the
American people ..@ ~
Coming from a Republican official
BOARD. In so powerful a Republican
State as Pennsylvania, these resolu-
tons are expected to have unusual
weight.
