ashington Times

To the Editor Of The Washington Times:
I have long admired the spirit of The
Times in its advocacy of fair play and
justice for the masses, and so am yery
glad to express my heartfelt thanks to
1t for the splendid, timely, and able
manner in which it advocates the cause
Of the Government clerk in his Just cry
for increased pay.
In this, as in other matters of fnterest
for the mass of the people, The Times
is always in the front rank. Let the
good work go on until our cry is heard
and there will be rejoicing and great
increase Of prosperity in the District.
Our cause is just, we merit the in
crease. and certainly need 1t: but, since
our hands are tied. others must fight
our battles, and glad We are that there
are others such as The Times with
enough Of love of justice and fair play
to advocate our cause.
Again / wish to thank you for your
splendid support. You show the right
spirit-the spirit of live and let live.
Yours is the paper that stands for the
greatest good for the whole people.

PLANS TO PUBLISH =
FATHERS MEMOIRS
Gertrude Coghlan Will Dis
close Events of Parents
Romantic Career.

An interesting volume Of memoirs re-
the latter half of the nineteenth CEN
tury has been prepared by Miss Gertrude
COghlan from the notes and partially
written manuscript left her by her
father, the late Charles COghlan, one
of the most noted figures in modern the
atrical annals.
Miss CoghIan, who will be seen here
next week in the leading feminine role
in James Forbes comedy, The Travel
ing Salesman" has been at work upon
this volume for a number of years, and
her efforts are shortly to be rewarded
by the publication of the memoirs.
Charles COShlan's career was most in
teresiing and romantic and his intimate
association with the other great figures
in the dramatic world should have pro-
vided a tremendous fund of absorbing
comment and anecdote. Miss COghlan
has Inherited both the histrionic and
literary talents of her father and the
volume of memoirs contains many inter
eSting observations of her own relating
to early appearances in her fathers
companies.
Among the most interesting chapters
is that in which Miss Coghlan relates
her meeting, when but a slip of girl,
with the late King Edward of England.
Miss COShlan's career has been of re-
markable interest. After the death of
her father and while still in her teens,
she starred successfully in several of
the plays in her fathers repertoire,
among them his most noted work, THE
Royal Box"

Real Status of Clerks.

To the Editor Of The Washington Times:
A number of years ago I arrived in
Washington with the impression, an i'm
preston still prevalent in country dis
tricts and with some Congressman, that
the average Government clerk was a
pampered individual, drawing a large
salary for small return of work. I
have learned otherwise, after trying to
educate three sons and raise my family
in fairly respectable conditions here, a
city full of great advantages for young
people.
Father may be 'all right" but he de-
serves more salary, and, If he gets it,
he can take care of his own retirement
fund. If the service was weeded OF all
ihcompetents. married women, pension
ers. and political favorites, a general in
crease in salaries could be made and the
omnipresent Congressional pigeonhole
cheated Of it's pension bill for old clerks.

New Times Readers.

To the Editor Of The Washington Times:
Every clerk In every department whose
welfare has been so sturdily championed
by The Times, both in the news columns
and in the editorial columns, should
make himself a personal agent to solicit
subscriptions for the paper which is
showing itself so friendly. I, with an
associate. undertook a canvass of the
clerks with whom we are associated,
and we have turned over today to the
department Of The Times the
names of fifty-six new readers, who will
hereafter receive The Times regularly at
their homes.
If you keep up the good work, so well
begun, Congress can not fail to give con-
sideration to our needs.
May The Times succeed for us, and,
succeeding for US, succeed for itself.

Needs of Other Class.

To the Editor Of The Washington Times:
As ] am personally very much inter-
ested in the question OF raising the sal
aries OF Government employees, / would
ask that you allow me to present the
question from the standpoint of other
than clerical civil service employees. So
far. in all the discussions pro and con,
only one class Of the great army has
had anything to say, and while all that
has been said and done is in the night
direction, yet there remains still to be
brought to public notice the greatest
piece Of this injustice to Government
employees. / refer to the large class
which does not come under the head
of clerks, namely, the mechanics, mes
sengers. laborers. charwomen, etc.
Think, ye scofrers, of a grown man
with a family perhaps, being compelled
TO give his labor for the munificent sum
of $40 of Uncle Sans money: some,
maybe. $50 and few for $50 per month.
Here Is not a case OF starting work at
and quitting at 40, but it means for
the majority to be on hand promptly at
s a. m, and many earlier. in order to
prepare the office for the clerks. And.
mind you. some of the labor performed
by those men is not a snap.
Surely a Government employe should
be able TO live at least up to the stand
ard of the better class OF citizen. but
at the present cost OF living. with his
present salary. 1t is utterly impossible
There are some who say. If they don't
like 1t let them get OUT" Only a fool
will make such a remark. The United
States Government must have the serv-
ices of somebody. ii must have the best
and expects the best, then let them re-
ceive a decent salary. How long,
think you, a new man would be salts
fed with what he would find in the
service. Forget the idea that a civil
service job is a soft snap, whether as
clerk or as common laborer. Your Uncle
Samuel expects you TO come up to the
scratch. Let Congress remember that
what is good for the goose is also good
for the gander. Raise the salaries Of
all, but especially those that are now
way down.
ONE OF THE MECHANICS.

Wife Makes Protest.

To the Editor Of The Washington Times:
I am the wife of a Government clerk.
and I would like to ask one or two
questions through the columns of your
paper. We hear much about the dis
approval OF the constituents of the va
rious Congressman in regard to the
Government spending so much money
raising clerks salaries and shouldering
the expense of retirement Now,
would like to ask, how many petitions
were circulated for signing among the
constituents when Congress raised their
own salaries? What is sauce for the
goose is sauce for the gander,' and If
Congress chose it could do one as easily
as the other. They could do one as
easily as they did the other. I venture
to say If the matter of their raise had
been brought before the people of the
United States they would have objected.
I have lately returned from the Pacific
coast, and I found in many cases people
there think that all any one in WASH
ington, connected with the Government,
high or low, has to do is to draw his
salary and have a good time. But in
all cases Congressman were included.

about 1t. attended the meeting Mon
day night at the Library, and can say
that heartily indorse the plan set forth
by Mr.. Welliver. 1t has been proven
Congress is not willing to raise our
salaries as they raised theirs, and our
reasons are the same. We must go into
politics and get what we want the way
they got what they got. 1 hope every
Representative and Senator who helped
raise his own salary and who does not
vote to raise the salary of the Govern
ment clerk, is defeated in the next cleo
ton. Get together, clerks, and scatter
broadcast over this country literature
to educate the people at large to the
true state of affairs. Think of it; just
as II a sirloin steak cost any more for
a Senator than 1t does for a clerk. He

do we. II 1 get good butter I pay 40 or
45 cents for 1t and so does he.

that an educational test to restrict TN
migration is both misdirected and ua-
timely. The fear entertained by some
that the Catholic Church may bscom,
unduly powerful because of excessive
immigration of persons of that creed is
not felt by DR.. Eliot. He stated to the

that cause would be public eonfes-
