So sayeth the unwritten law which
has to do with what we eat, drink and
wear, according to the calendar. Sep

sounding of the fictitious gun, whereat

Already along fashions chief American

CHANGE TO
MEAN INCREASE OF
CLERKS IN CAPITAL
Abolition of Agencies Will
Bring 800 More Workers
to Washington.

AS the result Of the abolition Of seven
teen pension agencies throughout the
United States by enactment of Con-
gress at Its last session, Washington
Will have an increase Of $50, and possi-
bly, 300, Government clerks
On January 81. 1913 all of the agencies
outside of the Capital, which have
hitherto been distributing points for
pensions, will be eliminated. The work
done hitherto in these widely distributed
cities Will be concentrated In the Capt.
tai. not only on the score of economy,
but because 1t is believed the WORK will
be more efficient when under the direct
eye of the Commissioner of Pensions.
The cities in which the agencies are
abolished are Augusta, Me-, Boston,
Buffalo, Chicago, Columbus. Ohio. Con-
cord, N. H.. Des Moines, Detroit, In
dianapolis, Knoxville, Louisville. Mil
waukee, New York, Philadelphia, Pitts
burg. San Francisco, and Topeka.
At the present time there are nearly
$50 clerks employed in these different
agencies, but the centerfng of the work
In this city will make Il possible to
enminate at least rs per cent OF these.
No efficient clerks In good standing will
be dropped, however, except at their
own request. 1t is expected that many
OF the clerks will not desire to come TO
washington because OF long-standing
associations in other cities. Those who
desire to remain in the service who
cannot be used at the central agency to
be established In this city will probably
be transferred as soon as possible to
other departments of the Government
The chief of the new pension agencies
will be disbursing clerk, to be ap-
pointed by the Secretary of the Interior,
at salary Of $4,000 per year He has
not yet been appointed. and officers OF
the Pension Office say they have no
knowledge as to who the appointee will
be. Rumors that John r. King, the
head OF the present pension agency in
the city. will be chosen, are uncon-
firmed.

SOCIALISM HELD
TO Be NO BARRIER
TO CITIZENSHIP
Department of Justice Re-
verses Judge Hanford's
Finding in Case.

Because a man Is a Socialist Is no
reason why he Is not entitled to natural
ization as a citizen of this country. This
is the decision OF the Department Of
Justice in the famous case Of Leonard
Oleson. of the State of Washington.
Judge Hanford,. who has been forced
off the Federal bench. canceied THE
naturalization papers Of Oleson because
he was a Socialist. Judge Hanford held.
In effect. that because Oleson had GER
tain radical ideas that the Constitution
ought to be changed and as to how II
ought to be changed, he could not take
the oath to support that instrument
The case has gone to the court OF
appeals. The Department of Justice, 1t
was announced by acting Attorney Gen.
eral Harr today. has agreed to re-
versal of the finding of Judge Hanford.
This amounts to a confession of error
on the part Of the Government. and 1t
Is expected, the court of appeals will
follow with formal action reversing
the finding of the lower court.
The case has attracted wide attention.
The Socialists of the country have been
aroused over II. Congressman Victor
Berger denounced the action of Judge
Hanford. and carried the case to the
