OLD AGE BILL To
!. RUIN = SERVICE,
+ SAY OPPONENTS
Committee of One Hundred
Severe in Denouncing
Dropping of Clerks.

Enactment of the House appropria-
tion bill with the provisions affecting
Government clerks unchanged would
amount to a debauchery of the classified
service, a return to a complete spoils
system, in the opinion of the committee
of one hundred, as set forth in this
Weeks bulletin by former Senator
Charles Dick No more vigorous de-
nunciation of a proposed measure has
appeared since this legislative session
of Congress began
Scarcely anything could be more
brutal and inhuman," says the bulletin,
"than the proposed enforced discharge
of men in the Government service who
are sixty-five years of age, and who
have grown old and decrepit in render
ing faithful service to the Government
who have labored faithfully and dill
gently in the hope and confidence that
assurance had been given them under
existing law to keep them in the service
as long as strength Of body and mind
permitted them to do an honest days
work. j.. 90
THE proposed legislation is in viola
ton of every such obligation implied
or otherwise, and would turn out on
the streets large number of public
servants at a time Of life when new
employment would be difficult to secure
at anything like a living wage.
Such a rule woufu be unjust to the
Government itself, because depriving 1t
of the service of some men still in the
prime of their usefulness. Illustra-
tions are numerous, but 1t is only neces-
sary to say that this rule would have
separated DR.. Wiley from the Govern
ment service three years ago. This one
example illustrates the absurdity of the
rule.
I'VE hear much of soulless corpora
tions and their indifference to men and
= women in their employ, and yet great
numbers of these same corporations
have already adopted systems retiring
on generous terms those who have
served them long and faithfully. In
many cases the widows and orphans
: are also provided for, yet 1t is proposed
that this great Government, boastful
of its wealth and it's resources shall
turn out from its departments those
who have grown gray in its service
. after they have given up all other op-
portunity to accumulate a sustenance
for their old age.
We appoint men as officers in the
army and navy. and as judges on the
bench, who devote their entire lives to
that particular service, and on reach
ing a certain age they are retired with
the assurance of a comfortable living.
for the rest of their days. These
70 branches of the Government service are
the most attractive of all because Of
this provision for retired pay. Why
should the Government not treat it's
civilian servants in the same way, and
thus raise that service to the same high
state of efficiency which prevails in
the army and navy and on the bench? ?
Instead of adopting the destructive
legislation proposed In this bill. may We
not hope II will be amended by the
adoption of some reasonable. rational
and adequate provision for annuities

The Cedars of America.

From the Chicago Post.
1t is said that American cedars fur
nish the only wood known of which good
lead pencils can be made. and in con-
nection with this information we learn
that American cedars are becoming
scarce. The pencil industry is a big one,
and, curiously enough. perhaps. it is said
to be bigger today than it was before
the day of typewriters. \ factory in
Germany turns out annually 3uO,OOO,OOo
lead pencils made out of the wood Of the
cedar tree of America. The forest serv-
ice of the United States, which is a bureau
of the Agricultural Department, makes
study of means to preserve the tree sup
ply, and il is not to be supposed that it
has overlooked the cedar, fragrant, use
full and beautiful. The hickory is a sub
ject of anxiety to the forest officials, and
so is the chestnut. These two species are
named because just at present the fear
Of their extinction is greater than that
which concerns itself with other growths
The hickory and the chestnut have been
attacked by new enemies and in one case
nothing definite is known about the raw
ager, nor has any adequate means been
found to put an end to its ravageS
The cedar, it is understood. has as it's
chief enemy lumberman's ak. The de-
mand for the wood of the tree is SO
great that the growth cannot keep pace
with the market. 1t is known, however,
that finally the lumbermen have come
to realize they can secure their trade
product in such way as to help the
cause of reproduction. Most Of the states
of the Union have passed laws to pro-
tect their forests. Law can enter a pri-
vate domain. A farmer, for instance, is
not allowed to shoot game birds out OF
season, even though they are found in
his own fields. The state of Maine, to
take a notable example. has laws which
tend to make the owner of forests have
a care for the future
Cedar is worth something besides the
giving OF it's wood to the pencil-makers.
It's berries furnish forth the breakfast
tables of thousands of useful wild birds
When robin can find a suitable cedar
swamp with plenty of cover and plenty
of berries, it will stay in the north all
winter, and care nothing for the cold.
There is something more than sentiment,
however, attaching to the tree-saving
cause. Hard business sense suggests
consuming our trees and having them" :"
The lumbermen today exercise care in
taking OUT tree that was unknown
to the industry in the past. Sense and
sentiment are good partners.

Best Medicine.
From the Buffalo Express.

Fresh air Is probably the worlds best
medicine not only in the treatment of
disease. but in it's prevention. This is a
statement buried in an announcement by
the National Association for the Study
and Prevention of tuberculosis. Not one
person in one hundred, it says farther,
gets enough fresh air at his work. at his
rest or in his sleep. The association has
published a handbook on the subject of
sleeping out Of doors and giving direc-
tions as to how to obtain the greatest
benefit in SO doing.
The helpfulness OF fresh air has long
been understood in general way, but
calling it the worlds best medicine will
give it a new value in the minds of many
knowledge of it has expanded in the last
few years from point at which 1t was
thought necessary to send sufferers from
Arizona to a point when the atmosphere
since then to the appreciation of the most
available large open space having clean
air.
But while the curative work goes on
thousands of more or less able bodied
persons make no effort to secure individ-
ual breathing space. They sleep with
closed windows. rid.a in closed cars and
work in stuffy offices, shops or stores
Some few persons In the crowd whose
lungs are offended protest or escape. but
the bulk of humanity tolerates polluted
air while it cries for unpolluted food and

FIRE. CHIEF STOPS HERE

his uncle w. NJ. Br2ckwell. 1853 Morse
street northeast, en- route to New York
where he will enroll Monday with the
school of fire fighting conducted by the
fire department of the metropolis. Mr..
Brockwell, it is believed, is the first man
except those being tried for the New York
department, who has ever attended the
school.
Following appropriation by the coun-
Gil of the North Carolina city for the
improvement of the department, it was
arranged that Mr.. Brockwell be admitted
to the New York school to receive in
struction in modern fire fighting that
would help him in drilling his subor-
dinates. Brockwell is only twenty-six
years old and is probably the youngest
chief of any city the size of Raleigh.
After his instruction in New York he
will be assigned to one of the companies
to complete his training. AS Raleigh re-
Gently has purchased two automobile COM
bination chemical trucks Brockwell will
study particularly the operation of this
type. The Raleigh department. including
the volunteers, has 10 members and is
to be completely organized.

An American Rhodes Plan.

With the aid Of wealthy Americans. DR..
Parkin, organizing representative OF the

so that English students may he sent -

European students are infrequentiy found
at the universities of this country, while
long before Cecil Rhodes founded his OK
ford system many Americans had regu-
larly gone abroad to complete theif
studies at the universities OF France
Germany and England.
Back of DIR. Parkins suggestion that
English students be sent to this country
is the obvious hope that through them

MIGHTY TEXAS.
United States Not Big Enough t.
Swing Lone Star State In.

From Casters Magazine.
Texas is so big that if it swung around
in a circle over the United States it would
touch the great lakes to the northward,
to the east would reach the Atlantic,
westward the Pacific and southwark the
Caribbean sea.
The state Of Texas is first in size. first
in agriculture and first in live stock.
Her farmers annually market crops to
the value of $561. 339, coo, and there are
sc, 600 600 acres Of land under cultivation,
and she raises three-qUarters OF a bale
Of cotton per capita for each OF her
1000, 600 people.
The field crops of Texas are cotton,
wheat, oats. alfalfa, rice, potatoes. to-
bacco, sugar cane and forages, while her
fruits include peaches, apples, pears, ber-
ries. figs, and citron fruits Of all kinds.
and in certain sections, for instance the
Rio Grande valley, crop failnres are un-
known, and what is more, three or four
crops can be raised each year from the
same land without the use of fertilizer.
In fact, in many parts Of the Rio Grande
valley there are farms that have been
large producers for hundred years that
have never had an ounce OF fertilizer on
them. These farms are good for another
hundred years without fertilizer, because
the top soil is from ten to flfy feet deep.
Texas is fast becoming the kitchen gar
den Of the United States. The increase
in the truck and fresh fruit industry has
been wonderful in the past year. it hav-
ing expanded at such rate that the rail-
roads have had trouble in providing suffi-
cient refrigerator cars to keep pace
with it.
conservative estimate by railroad
traffic men in Texas places the total
movement Of vegetables and fruit in that
state for the year 1912 at upward Of 10000
cars, and when the fact Is considered
that all of this traffic Is comparatively
new business. it speaks most effectively
Of the development that is going ON in the
state of Texas. as only few years ago
the railroads did not take into considera-
ton the few carload shipments Of fruits
and vegetables they handled out Of Texas,
while at present such shipments form q
very important feature Of the railroad
tonnage Of that state.
