Happy Government Clerks

Happy Government Clerks.
Several thousand hardworked and
rather poorly paid government clerks
at Washington are happy. 1t has been
discovered that it is contrary to the
law of the land for an inferior to give
present to superior in any Of the
government offices or to contribute to
that detestable passing the hat fund
for the purchase Of a gift for the man
higher up. Some of the clerks pro-
posed giving DR.. Wiley, the estimable
government chemist and pure food ex-
pert, wedding gift. Then it was that
somebody pointed a warning finger
to the law, and thereupon coolies of
clerks, men and women, in that and
other departments fguratively threw
up their hats or their hatpins and
yelled ':Ha!lelujahr'
The abuse Of gift giving by the IN
derling to the overload, the employee
to the boss, is widespread, not only in
government circles, but in all sorts and
conditions of places of employment.
AS we probably have stated before in
these columns, an employer, a manager
or foreman is by no means calcu-
lated to entertain a higher respect for
those working under him simply be-
cause at Christmas or when he mar
ries or has a birthday they present
him a token.
They may like him. Let us trust
they do. They may even be fond of
him. But is that any reason why the
hat should be passed around by some
enthusiast in the service and every en-
ployee, even to the Office boy and the
janitor, be made to contribute?
Frequently it is severe drain upon
the resources of an employee to toss a
coin or bill into the hat. He may
have sickness at home. He may be
supporting his aged mother He may
have children or a wife to whom
gift bought with the sum he feels NOR
ally obliged to contribute would bring
happiness.
DO your work just as we'll as you
can. Be faithful, be loyal, but don't be
sycophantic. Don't expect to curry
favor with the man higher up merely
by helping him to a present. He
doesn't need it. He will appreciate you
and your work just as we'll and prob
ably better without taking such toll of
you. If not he is not the right kind of
boss, and you ought to get another one.

Overwork and UndernIacv,.


# When City Chamberlain Hyde Of
New York returned to his duties few
days ago, after a mysterious absence
OF several weeks which had resulted in
making him almost as much Of a ma
donal sensation as DR.. Cook or the
man who struck Billy Patterson, he
announced that he had been away
merely on vacation for his health,
presumably broken down by overwork.
Mr.. Hyde had been housekeeping in
Florida waters. He said he had en-
joyed it. "-~".. 49,
Every now and then one hears of in
stances where men in high positions
take long layoffs, remove themselves
to lodges In some vast wilderness and
proceed to recreate and recuperate, let
ting care fly away with the winds and
forgetting toll and trouble.
The man or the girl who works
steadily ten hours day at a shoe
making machine in a maze of whir-
ring wheels; the workman who tolls
fifty-four hours week at bricklaying,
carpentering, painting, or the like, or
the clerk or accountant who works
daily from 8 or 9 a. m. to or p. m.
In close shut Office or store; the editor
who bends his back above his desk by
day or night, day in and day out
these are some Of the millions of per-
sons whose work is just as exacting
and requires the expenditure of just
as much physical and mental energy,
comparatively, as does the job held by
Mr.. Hyde, yet toilers Of these classes
seldom find opportunity to take to the
woods or to a houseboat for recupera-
ton.
Sometimes one of these workers goes
off the bat, metaphorically speaking.
The continued strain affects the
nerves to the edge Of prostration. The
brain Is tagged, the hands refuse to do
its bidding, and the toiler goes down
and out for a time or forever.
Houseboating in lowery Florida
waters is not available to all such
workers, but it would seem that there
should be some system whereby the
overworked who cannot take long
layoffs because they are underpaid and
consequently unable to lay by for the
rainy day might be permitted to rest
and recuperate. This suggestion is re-
ferred to Mr.. Carnegie, Mr.. Rockefel-
Ter and other wealthy men who are
creating foundations for human ben
eft, Why not let us have a founda-
ton for the rest cure which humanity
in this workaday age demands and de-
serves?

Lincoln on War Scares.

Joel Benton Of Poughkeepsie, N. =,
long and favorably known as poet
of parts, does the public good serv-
ice in prose when he calls attention to
the late lamented and still beloved
Abraham Lincoln's notion Of war
scares. Mr.. Benton points out this re
mark. which Mr.. Lincoln made to an
audience in Illinois: .~--.=#
''All the armies of Europe, Asia and
Africa combined, with all the treas
ures of the earth, our own excepted,
in their military chest, with a Bona
parte for a commander, could not by
force take a drink from the Ohio or
make a track on the Blue Ridge in
trial Of thousand years.
That Lincolnian remark, it is true,
smacks somewhat of the quality of
hyperbole as the rhetoric books de-
fine it. Yet, like most of Lincoln's ut
terances, it contains a base rock of
solid truth. Who's afraid, anyhow?
This nation has existed for 1874 years,
counting from the date when the Con-
tinental congress adopted the Declara-
ton of Independence. Washington
and his allies fought nearly eight years
to establish the nation. Beginning in
1872, the successors of Washington
fought nearly three years to maintain
1t against the same implacable but not
1nvincible foe. It is true that during
that war the British did invade US and
burn our capitol, but they never made
track on the Blue Ridge, and they
never took a swig of the murky Ohio's
water. They had to content themselves
with the blue Potomac, which is salty
to the taste, and their fleet stuck only
in the mud flats Of the Washington
city Of those days.
A nation Of 1OO,OO0,OOO freemen has
no need to fear invasion into the
heart Of it's territory An enemy might
''board u.s. so to speak, at the rim,
but even in that event the chances are
that he would get knocked off into the
salt water before he could say Jack
Robinson. 1t is well enough to be pre-
pared for emergencies, but there's
really no use in getting scared. Lin
coin knew this, and that is why he
said so in that delightfully."- indirect
way.

Teachers, Read This Carefully.
Time Of Examination Changed-It
has been the uniform custom to hold
examinations for common school GER
ti6cates in February and August.
The examinations which would have
been held next February have been
postponed and will be held on Thurs
day, Friday and Saturday, May 4, 5
and 6. The August examinations
will be given on Monday, Tuesday
and Wednesday, July 81 and August l
and 2. The department has decided to
defer the first examinations for the
following reasons: So that it may
not Interfere with schools that are in
session; because in the winter season
the weather frequently makes it hard
for persons to attend; because the
legislature will be in session in
February, and difficulty would be
found in securing rooms in which to
do the work.
Certificates Expiring March l-All
teachers employed in the public
schools of Mile Laos county holding
certificates which will expire March l
next should send their certificates to
the county superintendent of schools

This includes first and second grade
certificates, either complete or condi-
toned, as we'll as limited certificates.

Gates will, upon recommendation of
the county superintendent to the state
department, be extended until August

Date of OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES all
teachers certificates, whether obtained
by examination, by renewal, by ex-
tension, or otherwise, will be dated
August l. This will be done to sim
pity the records in the Office of the
state department-to have the date of
certificates coincide with the be-
ginning of the school year, and to
prevent the expiration of certificates
