sneered at that dissolution Oh the

these. II we are not mistaken he
praised the Northern Securities result
more than once, and he was right, as
the event has shown. Although it faileu
to restore a competition that had once
been destroyed, II had powerful lnnu-

CIVIL PENSIONS.

The Secretary Of the Navy. the first OF
the Cabinet officers to render his annual
report. makes strong declaration in
favor Of system of civil pensions for
federal employees. After affirming that
there is no class Of employees more de-
serving Of retirement with reasonable
pay than the employees of the govern
ment. that few of them are able TO save
anything and that when old age disabil-
ity arrives they must either he carried

Secretary Meyer adds:
But. aside from all sentimental con-
siderations, believe that civil service
retirement by the government would be
along the lines of sound business man
agcment. Many railroads and industrial
corporations have found II advisable to
adopt such a system, and the practice
is a growing one. | earnestly recon-

and there is probably no member Of the
Cabinet who does not believe in it, not
merely for sentimental reasons but as
sound business policy. II is easy TO say
that the federal emplOye should accu-
mulate enough TO care for him in his old
age, and that If he is improyident he
should not expect the government 10 care
for him; but the fact is that he does
not save and that the government does
take care Of him. II has been impOSSi-

Bf NO MEANS A FARCE

Both Colonel Roosevelt and Mr.. Sam
uel Untermyer have spoken recently
Of the result in the Tobacco Trust case
as merely a change OF clothes" Mr.
Cntermyer adding that the whole pro-
ceedipg was a colossal farce" Now, in
spite OF the fact that II the purpose Of
the country is to insure a return 10
competitive conditions the tobacco re
organization leaves something to be de
sired, ii is incorrect 20 speak Of the re
suit as if ii were OF no consequence
as if it left the situation precisely where
it found it. If It makes no difference
10 the tobacco interests whether there
is one corporation or fourteen, why was
the organization Of the industry In a
single corporation adopted? Why have
persons seeking 10 concentrate the con-
troll Of an article OF commerce in their
own hands always formed one great
company 10 hold their interests il the
number Of corporations makes no differ
ence?
Moreover, the ownership Of the four
teen companies which will be made out
OF the trust will tend to become dis
persed. The individuals who have exer-
cised a controlling interest in the trust
are for the most part no longer young
men. In the natural course Of events

AN ASHCART GRIEVANCE.

To the Editor OF The Tribune
Sir: one real grievance OF the ashcar'
drivers seems 10 be the claim that several
hundred Of them have been seriously IN
jured by lifting extra heavy loads. TWO
wavs TO prevent this suggest themselves.
First. by the use Of an axle bent hhe
those on the rubbish carts the BODY OF the
ashcart may be lowered at least one FOOT
Even a foot list saved on million ASH
cans is worth while Then for the occa-
sional extra heavy csnful each cart might
be provided with broad, low can into
which the driver might hrst empty part OF
the big load and so lift IL into the cart IN
two lifts. ROBERT H. Riffhhr.

THE CARNEGIE TRUST CONVIC
TJONS

IIONS.
District Attorney Whitman is 10 he
congratulated upon his success in oh
tanning the conviction Of William ].
Cummins for his part in wrecking the
Carnegie Trust Company. Previously
he had secured the conviction of Reich
mann. the president of the company.
BY these two convictions Mr.. Whitman
removes from the administration of JUS
tice in this county the reprOach under
which it fell while in the hands of his
predecessor of being unequal 10 bring
ing punishment upon crimes Of high
finance. The record Of Mr. Whitman is
an effective contrast TO that Of Mr..
Jerome. The conviction of Cummins and
Reichmann will be a powerful deterrent
TO speculation with the assets Of New
York State banking institutions.
The career Of Cummins and Reichmann
in New York City banking has had its
remarkable phases. They pulled wool
over the eyes OF the New York State
Banking Department They got the eyre
giOus HYDE into their tolls and were able
to make other bankers think, at least
that they controlled the disposition Of
New York Citys deposits in banks. And
when the crash came they were able to
use even the Governor Of the state ia a
scheme 10 sidetrack the District Attor-
ney. Nevertheless they are on the road
toward iail.
