THE PENSION GRAFT.

1r his explanation of the real
condition of our pension le@lsla-
ton, Mr.. Charles Francis Adams
in the current Worlds Work cites
the case of a member of congress
V no was in favor of all manner OF
wide open pension expenditures.
"The case of this member will
sufficiently exemplify what the
particular measure then under DIS
cussion-the Sulloway bill-meant
as a political factor in a single
district. The average number IN
each district of the state. which
the member in part represented.
is almost exactly 2.3OO, Assam
ing that his particular district
did not fall behind the average.
it is not unfair to assume that
one-half at Least of those recclv-
ING pensions were veterans, and
would be beneficiaries under the
provisions Of the measure then
pending. The average amount OF
the pension paid under the ex-
isting law is $15 month: this 1t
was proposed to double in the
case of the beneficiaries under the
pending measure, making 1t $50 a
month. The net result would be
that in this particular district the
passage of the SullOway bill
meant the. gratuitous disburse-
ment among the voters of all adj
ditional sum of $1,000 month.
a similar sum being already dis
bursed, or 100000 per amum in
addition to the 100000 provided
bv existing law. The plurality
received by the member in oues-
ton at the last election was 2,5oo
in a total vote OF 10000. Com
ment is unnecessary; the infer
ence suggests itself.
"There are at this time two
senatorial scandals exciting much
hubble attention. OF these one
involves the use made Of fund
Of $4,000 raised to effect the re-
suit. the other the use made OF a
sum of $4,000 furnished by the
successful candidate for senatorial
honors. The two amounts seem
large; the last so excessive as to
be scandalous. Here, however. Is
a sum of 100000 a year-$4OO,-
900 for a single congressional
term-voted by a member out OF
the national treasury to bring me
back to congress. And in his
view, even this does not suffice

SOME DON'TS FOR THE SICK
ROOM.

Don't whisper in sick room.
Better to laugh, sing, scream,
dance, anything but whisper,
Whispering always arouses sus-
picion and a patient might sleep
during a low-toned conversation,
but there is no sleep while whisp-
ering is going on.
Don't stand just outside the
sick room and talk. Either go in
and Let the patient hear what you
have to say, or else go where he
cannot hear the sound of your
voice.
Don't let the sick room be the
general sitting-room for the fam
lily and for visitors. A sick room
should always be kept quiet and
the patient should be permitted to
sleep or to respond to the calls Of
nature without the embarrassment
of asking friends to retire.
Don't Let food remain in the
sick room. When food is brought
to a sick person and he does not
wish to eat let it be taken away.
A sick person never acquires an
appetite by the sight or odor of
food.
Don't permit bottles. glasses,
spoons and other utensils to accu-
mulate and other utensils to accu-
next you enter a sick room where
there is a competent trained nurse
note the scrupulous cleanliness Of
every thing about the room. Yod
will find nothing to draw flies,
nothing to cause disagreeable
odors and no accumulation Of bot
ties or dirty utensils that suggest
disease.
Don't close up the windows and
doors. Let the patient have p1en-
ty of fresh air. You may not feel
the need Of this because you have
been out Of doors and filled your
lungs with air. But the patient
cannot get out. He is dependent
upon the air of the room. Let it
be as pure and as fresh as that
outside. If the patient is cold,
add more covering or apply arti-
fetal heat, but never convert a
sick room into a closed furnace.
In every sick room there should
be at hand thermometer which
should not register above seventy.
DONE sneak Of unpleasant
things to the sick. Never tell a
sick person Of death or Of any
unpleasant occurrence.
Don't suggest to a sick person
that something he has eaten or is
about to eat will not agree with
him. / have often wondered how
a guest would feel if. when invit-
ed out to dine. the host should
ply him with such questions rs
these: "Do you think you can
eat til Are you not afraid it will.
make you sicki Do you want to
pukei" And yet sick people,
whose stomachs are far more
delicate, are constantly asked just
such questions as these.

information as to your otfense to
the officials Of the road, it would
have meant your dischargv. In
stead. | have been square with
you. Now be square with your
self. +"
Do you think that this will not
make him a better man, more loyal
to his company? incidentally,
you have performed a service to
your company, far in excess what
your service would have been had
you reported the offender and had
him discharged.
The dismissal of an erring en-
ploye does mot restore the indus
trial organization which has been
offended against. To restore the
offender to right point of view,
to strengthen his moral fiber by
dispelling the ignorance which
caused his offensive act-this con-
stitutes far the greater service to
the company as a whole.
Lack of moral consciousness IS
pretty largely matter OF lgnor-
ance. There is no human being
but is born with a strong instinct
to do right. But all are bundle
of weaknesses to begin with, and
experience is the greatest teacher
for the development Of moral
courage and the acknowledge OF
what is right.
To punish an offender summar-
lily is simply to weaken him still
further. Educate him instead OF
discharging him, and you will
have gone a long way in the de-
velopment of man who will
count.
The officials of a company, lab
oring under the mistaken notion
that discharging a man will re-
store the balance and weed out
evil conduct are themselves lab
oring in the dark. That is not to
say that a man should never be
discharged. There are rare ia
stances where firing a man IS the
only act that will wake him up.
But no employer and no fellow
employee has a right to pause aiy-
where short Of a square deal to
all with whom he may have deal
'ings. 4 ~ ~
The tale-bearing employe, who
reports his fellow-workman for
the purpose Of getting him dis
charged, moreover, does not act
for the benefit Of his company as
a whole. Nine times out Of ten,
his mind is intent on gaining pre-
ferment for himself. and wise en-
ployers should see that this is his
motive, and that such a man is a
menace Of an evil sort.
The man who observes, let us
say, an act of theft on the part OF
a fellow-workman. and who, in
stead Of reporting the evil-doer,
reasons with him and attempts
to restore him to normal, is doing
his company the far greater SER
vice. =. &la'Y

INFLUENCE.

Few men use to the greatest ad-
vantage the influence they are
capable Of exerting.
The employee Of company
owes his employer certain
amount Of work in exchange for
the pay he receives.
But his obligation does not end
there. Al;
He owes another obligation,
important and imperative.
He owes his employer tn.
greatest degree of good influence
he is able to bring bear upon
his fellow workmen.
The heads of an organization
are similarly obligated. The pres
ident of q railroad or mamlfac-
turing concern is an employc just
the same as the humblest workman
in the ranks. He is under ST.
milar obligations-only to a
greater degree. for his duties are
the more exacting, and his place
the more important.
There are misunderstood men
In the employee Of every organi-
zaticn, and in every walk Of life.
Take, for instance, a railroad
man observing follow cmploye
committing theft, or ascertaining
the fact that such theft was
committed.
The fret impulse, let us sey, on
the part of the loyal employee. is
to report the act, that being his
idea Of protecting and safeguard
ing the property Of his employer.
What is the RESULT The cul-
prit is called is the RESULT Tho
culprit is called ON the carpet
by superior officer. and is sum-
marily discharged. The culprit
knows that he cannot work for
road again. Knows that he cannot
work for any other road unless
he changes his name, and gains
occupation through deception.
He becomes worse man 10
every way.
How might you have made a
better man out Of himY By say
ing to him: "You are doing
wrong to yourself, to your fellow
workmen, to the shipper. and to
the company. / appeal to you as
a man. Don't do these things.
They will lead to your downfall.
You still have a chance to pull
yourself together and start doing
right"
The man may resent this advice
even though he knows that it is
good. NSlnRNV
But when he is alone. after
wards, perhaps IN the Solitude of
him room at night, those words
will come flaming back into his
mind, and he will give thought to
what you have told him.

attitude or his conduct. He may
commit similar depredations and
theft. 4
