WANTS TO GET RID

To the Editor Of THE TIMES:
OF all the ridiculous performances. the

strikes me as the greatest ever attempt
cd by the officials Of our Government.

it seems to be based wholly on the idea
that we are in danger of attack by

The thing for us TO do is 10 get dhIt OF

there, stay at home, mind our own
business, and spend cur means in forti-
fTinS the Pacific coast and the Panama
Canal no nation on earth is going to
attack us.

have cost us and take her bonds for

and could manage them. as we'll IL not
better than we can. That would keep
Janan so busy that she would nave no
time or occasion to attack us. which our
IlObsonites so pretend to fear.
Or. II not that. then let our Govern

brows call acumen to figure out that
when one of these propositions is pre-
sented it's pretty near time to hail the
Black Maria and stop payment on
every check issued for a week.
The good old custom of getting
money by working for it isn't as much
of a craze as it might be. The low
standard set by the Puritans when
they fell first upon their knees and
then upon the aborigines" prevails all
too widely even unto this day. But
the little fortune raised according to
the labor system acquires some excel
lent domestic habits and can usually
be found when wanted. Wherein it
differs from the nest egg which is put
out to board with lady financiers and
the like.

LESSONS FROM THE DERE-
LICTS OF FIFTY.

Today's issue of The Times offers an
interesting study in the earning power
of the man who has reached fifty
years or more and the extent to which
his services are in demand. In re-
sponse to the announcement that ad-
vertisements for situations wanted by
men and women of the age indicated
would be published free, while open
alike to men and women, there is
naturally, perhaps, a preponderance of
applications from men.
One is left to imagine the stress and
pathos which undoubtedly underlie
many of these simple appeals for an
opportunity to earn a nominal salary.
The tragedy of it all when, at the end
of half a century, the man who is will
ing to work finds himself a derelict
left by the receding tide of activity
can be realized only by the heart
(which knoweth its own bitterness" d"
In most INSTANCES the applicants set
forth that they are of good habits-a
claim which might be questioned more
closely but for the cOincident offer to
furnish the best of references.
The most obvious lesson to be read
from this roster of needy age is, per-
haps, the lack of thrift in the days of
vigor and productiveness. Again, the
skilled specialist who can do some one
thing surprisingly well is rarely rep
resented among those for whom want
and idlencss are the accompaniments
OF old age. There are accidents and
misfortunes which, like the ''perturba
tions" of astronomy, disturb the most
constant and exact of economic laws.

1t is certainly encouraging to see

the Government employees and their
advocacy of these measures ought to

The wide discussion given the subject
by The Times has brought the .ques-

never reached before and gives reason
to hope that something will be done
to improve the impoverished condi-
tier Of the clerk. From nv own in

fair to expect. when the condition has
been portrayed in the effective terms
that have been used by Cabinet officers
and by such men as Mr.. Vanderlip,
that Congress will at length arouse it.
self to serious consideration of the
big, serious, real aspects of the situa-
ton?
Mr.. Vanderlip, like other men of
affairs who, with sufficient knowledge,
have discussed the subject, urges that
pension and retirement provisions
would be the soundest economy. He
points out that these are the methods
employed by private business, merely
because they are good business. They
promote efficiency. They are cheaper.
They reduce expenses, and they in
crease dividends.
They would do those things for the
Government, too.
The people who raise a billion a
year, through taxation, to keep the
Government running, are entitled to
expect some. at least, of the rules and
methods of sound business to be applied
in its expenditure. These dictate that
provision be made for retiring the aged
workers, and giving the younger and
more efficient the chance for advance
ment that can only be opened by tax
ing the step first.
