CLERKS KICK
AGAINST NOT
Being PAID
SALARIES that ARE LARGER
Republicans Have Refused to
Raised Clerks Pay

Washington, March 15.-The gov
eminent clerk under a Republican ad-
ministration is having a hard time.
The Taft administration and proceed
ing Republican administrations have
done nothing to better the Government
clerks condition. Agitation for better
paw for the clerks has been going on
for years Recently, however, the de-
mand for a greater wage scale has
become more compelling. Conse-
quently during the adjournment OF
Congress all those interested in the
welfare of the clerks got busy, and
strung wires from Maine to Californ-
ia, from Michigan to Louisiana, in the
hope that at this session of Congress
some legislation will be begun which
will have as its object the raise of the
pay scale of Government employees.
In the clerks fight for more pay 1t
is interesting to note that Congress il
1852 enacted the last law increasing
the compensation of government clerks
and classifying them. Not since Then
has the government pay scale been
revised or increased. An analysis OF
the bill which became law in 1852
shows that the average salary of
clerks before the passage of the bill
was $1,173.43 and after the passage of
the bill $1,290.63. Today the average
salary is 1919, about hundred dol
lars lower than sixty years ago.
Oldest inhabitants of Washington
generally concede that the purchasing
power of 81 in 1852 was much greater
than it is today. The reasons ascrib-
ed are that Washington then was a
very small town with a large rural
population. The contrary is true to-
day. Washington is big city and has
a large suburban population that ex
tends for twenty miles in every direc-
ton. This necessarily makes farm
produce higher. Rentals values have
likewise increased and the general
scale of living increased proportion
ately.
1t is pointed out that government
clerks in the early fifties were album
dainty remunerated for their services
beofre their increase in salary was
granted, when compared to the man
ner in which the clerks are paid to-
day.
The classification of the clerks es
tablished by law in 1852 has changed
little, but the number of clerks en-
ployed in the government departments
has grown enormously. At present
there are 1900 clerks employed in
the Treasury Department alone. This
is ten times the number of clerks who
were employed in all the government,
in 1852. Since that period of a half
century ago the government at Wash
ington has extended itself into about
twenty-five branches, in as many
buildings, each with its hundreds
and some with it's thousands of clerks.
With this vast crowd demanding OF
its representatives and senators more
deserving recognition of the govern
ment, it is promised by those i. who
seem to know that Congress at no
late date will accede to the demands
of its employees.

NON COM. OFFICER R0ASTS
CAPTAIN AND IS ARRESTED

SAVANNAH, GA, Aug. 14.-Offense
shown a United States army captain
while he is umpiring a baseball game
is sufficient provocation for the arrest
of a nom commissioned officer. This
precedent has been established at Fort
Screven, where a senior sergeant ma
jor, a man with record of % years of
exemplary service, made a remark that
wasn't exactly in accord with the cap
tafn's ideas OF respect to superior Of
ficer.
Baseball is a popular pastime at Fort
SCreVen An officer who is keenly in
terested in the sport volunteered his
services as umpire. Then the lnevita-
BILE happened. The captains umpiring
didn't suit everybody, and some Of the
players started in to roast his jumps.
The captain tried to take the roasts in
the proper spirit, but a captain is &C
customed to being shown respect, and
1t wasn't long before his ire was
aroused
Although the offending non-com. was
subjected to the indignity Of arrest, the
matter was adjusted without a court
martial investigation developed the
fact that the remark was spoken in
jest.

SENATE AFFIRNS
HOkE. SMITH MEN

! In an unusual action the senate this
afternoon in executive session aimed a
slap at Governor Brown by confirming
the board of education appointments
made by Hoke Smith when he was state
executive.
The action is declared to be without
precedent, as the only memoraq, "a be-
precedent, as the only memorandum
before the senate was the executive
minutes, the appointments never hav-
ing been communicated.
The appointments confirmed are
those of DR.. Jere M. Pound, j. L. Langs-
ton, of Sylvania, and 7. j. Webster, of
Athens, and, in effect, Judge Lawson, of
Eatonton, who is dead.
Governor Brown had sought to sup
plant DR. Pound with c. R. Glenn, and
Langston with A. H. Moon. He submit
ted the appointments, but later with
drew them.

this afternoon invited Representative
Westmoreland to meet him on the out

The medical practice bill was also

Let Out BY Andrews.

The news leaked out here when Man
ager Smith notified President O. B. An
drews, Of the local club, that he would
not serve as Chattanooga's manager
again next year. This he did by wire
from Mobile.
Up to this time it was supposed that
Smith would return here next year.
Though he has been particularly un-
successful in Chattanooga, it was
deemed best to offer him the manage
ment third year. When this deter
mination was made known to Smith. he
withheld his decision. At that time it
was not known what Smith had in
mind, but it later leaked out that he
was dickering with Atlanta. The deal
was finally closed in Mobile. and from
there Smith notified President Andrews
that he would return to Atlanta.
Jordan May Succeed Him.
1t is virtually certain that the man
agement of the Chattanooga team next
year will go to Kid" Elberfeld or to
Otto Jordan
Bill Smith went to Atlanta as a
manager in 1906. Previous to that time
he had managed pennant winner in
Macon, and he has had a long and sue
cessful career as manager and player
in various minor leagues. His first
year with Atlanta he had no luck, but
in 1907 he gave the Cracker club the
first pennant it had had in twenty
wears.

81. AYE: R s
EYES FOR

MAN
Cornea of Wife Murderer'S
0rbS May Give Paper
Seller Sight.

Seeing through the eyes Of a
murderer for the rest of his life
is the hope Of John Cashin, a
peaceful, blind paper seller of At
lanta. At his earnest behest eX-
pert plans are now being made
to remove the orbs of a man that
the law says shall not live in or
der to restore Cashin s power to
see the things of the world in
which he has lived for years i'll
total, hopeless darkness.
John Cashin would literally apply the
ancient Mosaic doctrine of an eye for
an eye. The law has said that as Rob
ert l. Clay killed his wife, Robert l.
Clay must die Twelve jurors have de-
cided that earthly use for Robert l.
Clay has passed His physical being
must pay the cost.
But John Cashin can see hope
through The eyes Of the slayer Though
Clay's body die, Cashin would have his
eyes see. but see from the brain and for
the soul Of one who has never offended
man-made laws and who is therefore
entitled to live

Consults Eminent
SPECIALISTS on Plan.

Cashin has the papers that he sells
read him each day. one day early
This summer the news was read him
that a Jury had imposed the death pen
altv on Clay, The judge had ordered
his execution in July. He Immediately
became obsessed with the idea this
man must die, why should not | use
his eyes,
The idea grew with the days. Cashin
finally decided to consult physician.
He had once been examined by DR.. j.
n. Ellis. He called on him again.
His plan, as bizarre as Poe ever i'm
agined was submitted to the physician
as a matter of fact business. DR.. Ellis
at first gave the man no hope. But
Cashin was insistent. His own mind
told him that the operation was pos
sible. He pleaded with the physician.
He finally succeeded.
1t was decided that if his optic
nerves are still serviceable after his
wears of blindness there is the posi-
bilitv that the eyes Of a man that has
read the death sentence might make
him see.

Clay Hopes for Life;
Blind Man for Sight.

Clay waits in the Tower i'll hope
that a new chance for life will be given
him by the highest court Of his state,
but as he waits on the Judges so Cash
in waits on him. For in his death, the
man who sells papers in darkness at
Whitehall and Alabama streets, hopes
for vision Of sunshine, of the power to
see his fellow man, of the right to
minale as d member not as a depend
ent of society.
He has planned and specialists of
Atlanta have admitted that there is so
much feasibility in his scheme that
they are actually investigating the pos
sibiIity of transplanting the cornea Of
the murde~er's eyes that sec into the
head of the citizen who is sightless that
he may see when the law has been sat
isfied with the wife slayer's life.
The plan originated in the brain of
Cashin. His earnest, repeated, request
was the cause Of specialists consider
ing even for a moment an operation
said to be unknown to ocula science.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 14-Unde-
tered by the action of the Democratic
and insurgent Republican coalition in
the house, which passed the wool bill
over his veto yesterday, President Taft
today sent message to congress in
which he vetoed the steel bill. passed by
the house and senate. and sent to him
for his signature.
Earlier in the day there had been ru-
mors that the president was so bitter
over the failure OF "standpat' Repub-
licans to attend yesterdays session
and support his stand that he would
allow the steel bill to become a law,
and only the presidents message end
ed these rumors.
The president based his veto of the
steel Dill-the metal schedule of the
tariff-on the ground that it was
framed without consulting the reports
of the tariff board. and provided only
for revenue and not for the protection
of American industries"

Washington, April 22.-The report
Of George f. Roberts, director of the
mint. just issued, gives an extensive
review OF the production and distribu-
ton of gold during the p years begin
ming with 1890 and ending with 1910.
These years cover the period Of what
has been called the new golden era"
beginning with the discovery Of the
TransvaaI gold field and Of the cyan
ide process of extraction. The gold
production is shown to mount steadily
upward, save for the interruption
caused by the Boer war, from $113,-
OOO, 900 in 1890 to $454.O00, 900 in 1910.
The review then undertakes to trace
these new supplies OF gold into use.
showing the estimated consumption
in the industrial arts, the absorption
OF Asia. the amounts taken by new
and DEVELOPING countries, and finally
the amounts that have entered into
