PLAN TO GET RID
OF SOUTH'S DELEGATES

To the Editor OF THE TIMES:
You say that in Illinois the Roose-
welt managers propose a Presidential
preference primary, and offer to pay
all the expenses; yet the Taft people
will not agree. II the Roosevelt people
are, as they claim, nearly all the people
there area why cannot they go ahead
and have the primary anyway? They
could advertise 1t with the stipulation
that II will not be regarded as binding
unless the winning vote is majority
of the total vote of the Republicans
for President in 1908. Then they could
truthfully say that the majority Of the
party held this primary and gave their
orders.
Furthermore, why not use this way to
get rid of the Southern delegate nuis-
ance? The primary could vote on in
structions to the Illinois delegates to
join with the delegates from the other
States that went Republican in organ
izing the convention and making rules
without the Southern delegates. Then
they could adopt representation OF
States in proportion to their Republican
votes, and afterward let the Southern
delegates in on that basis. II they
would not come in, let them stay out.
The same fight could be put up in
other Republican States; and II even
half of the Republican states should
adopt the proposition the others would
have to come to 1t, and would want TO
come to It. w. l..

GIVES A DEFINITION
OF SKILLED SECRETARY

To the Editor OF THE TINES:
In The Times Question Box OF March
7, the Editor says:
Nearly all private secretaries I know
have a fair knowledge of stenography
and typewriting. ""' When one assumes
such a position, he or she is usually
instructed as to what will be required" ="
Folks with a fair knowledge" of their
business will surely receive just com
pensation-a fair salary, but the hon
ors, both in pay and position, will go
to the expert. No one can hope to sue
ceed in secretarial work unless he has
thorough knowledge of shorthand and
unless he Is rapid and accurate
typist An employer able to have a
private secretary would hardly care to
dictate, Thanking you for your favor
and then have the transcript read,
''Thinking you have the fever" nor is
II probable that the same employer
would want secretary that could not
turn out letters that were topographic
ally correct.
A secretary is an assistant who re-
lieves his boss OF the detail. The
aspirant to this work must be well
correctly; capable of writing clear,
terse. grammatical English: and in pos
session of a memory that retains facts.
figures, and faces, also names. His
working hours will often seem unlimit-
ed. Again, cheerfulness is a requisite,
will be useful. A sincere desire to
work help. and learn will prove of aid
AS for instructions: Bless your
heart! II you haven't that delicate
and tactful quality known as initiative

January and 9, 1911. Will quote some
extracts:
The average salary Of the entire classified
civil service is S75s per annum. That means
that thousands of people are working for a
great deal less than this amourt . a In the
classified civil service where 1S5S7S people

HOW CAN WORKINGMEN
GET EIGHT-HOUR DAY?

To the Editor Of THE TIMES:
l beg leave to ask the patrons of The
Times a few questions.
How can the working people OF the
United States get an eight-hour work
ing day? Can laws be passed by our
representatives for a universal eight
hour day?-of course, provided the
President did not veto same. Would the
laws II passed, be constitutional? II
so, are the men whom the people elect
to office doing things to better their
conditions? From observation and close
study Of the past performance of all
our Congressman and Senators, there Is
only one man who seems to consider the
great majority OF the people in this
country (the laborers), and they are
the people who keep the wheels of
progress moving. They are the people
that have to suffer for what the CAPT
talists do. Let labor lay down the tools
and glorious country paralyzed. The
captains of industry clearly understand
| this, yet they are 10th to give to labor
| that which rightfully belongs to her
| such as an eight-hour day and better,
| living wages. So II seems to me that
| the only way we can get these things
which are of material benefit to us is to
have our Congressman and Senators to
! pass a universal eight-hour law to in
clude all classes of labor.
| Would like to hear from those IN
favor Of an eight-hour working day.

OF human rights: Canada. his native
country, her most distinguished jurist
and brilliant statesman: the British
empire her greatest Gladstonian fol-
lower, and Ireland her most devoted
and uncompromIsing friend. At the
.heyday of his greatest opportunities
he abandoned the Canadian house Of

tie for home rule by being elected to
the house Of commons for the county
Of Longford, Ireland, and was Charles
Parnelrs first lieutenant until his un-
timely death and his own break down
In health. 1t was Mr.. Blake's slogan,
Home rule was safe in Canada; safe
In Australia; safe in South Africa, and
why not safe for Ireland?" This ap-
peal stirred the Scotch an English

Of self-government is largely due to this
noble man that sacrificed his Canadian

GOVERNMENT CLERK
CRlTICISES THE KICKERS

To the Editor Of THE TIMES:
II II is not one class OF Government
employees making a kick for more pay
it Is another. In your issue of March
u, Is an article by. a Mr. Nilsson who
feels that he should receive at least
$50 per month. and cites the Lawrence
strikers as being on a par with him
self. II this gentleman, or any other
Government employe, feels that he is
not getting what he Is worth, why in
the name of common sense does he not
give up his job and geek employment
elsewhere? No, they hang on and hol-
Ter for more pay, when they know ID is
impossible for them to get the same
wages out in the business world
1t is a well-known fact that man
must have some sort of political pull
to get any kind of a job in or about
the Capitol, and / will venture to say
that this gentleman nearly broke his
neck getting enough influence to secure
his Job at s. a day, and now he is not
satisfied. Look at the beautiful sur
loundings and building in which ne
works. II he Is not satisfied. let him
go just across the station plaza where
the new postoffice building is being
erected and where he will gee a sign
"laborer wanted, % cents per hour"
and compare his working conditions
with theirs.
There is a certain class OF Govern
ment employees who are never salts

want. A GOVERNMENT CLERK.

To the Editor Of THE TIMES:
There seems to be no apparent reason
why a half holiday Is not as good at
one time of the year as another, and
as a matter of fact the spring and
autumn seasons here in Washington
are the most desirable for brief periods

pleasure in various forms. Often dur
ing the hot summer period the Saturday
half holiday is more of an aggravation
than real pleasure, for II is one of the
magnanimously, allotted thirteen such
afternoons out of whole year and one
feels that he must do something In
order to make good use of the time,
whereas the only comfortable occupa-
tion is to do as nearly nothing as hui
man necessities will permit And again
the winter season offers fully as many
pleasant Saturday afternoons with their
opportunities of finding seasonable en-.
joyment.
