Trash and Neglect.

In yesterdays Star was printed a pic
ture showing trash-filled wagon that
has been standing for three weeks in one
of the streets of this city without atten-
ton not only blocking the thoroughfare
but contributing from its contents TO the
general littering of the neighborhood
through the agency of the wind. This is
perhaps an extreme but nevertheless an
illustrating example of the real meaning
of trash and dirt. and should be effective
in stirring up the community's sentiment
for thorough municipal cleaning. Neg
lect is responsible for practically all of
the dirt around the city. If the streets
are well swept and the trash is carefully
and promptly handled there need be no
cause of complaint on the score of clean
lincss This wagon was for some prob
ably trifling reason abandoned at the
time. and then because of someb body S
forSetfulness or somebody's laziness or
indifference il was permitted to remain
in the street. 1t is proper to ask at this
point why it was not noticed by police
man and reported. Surely there is nothing
secret about wagon full of trash stand
ing in the middle of the street, nothing
that should escape the attention of the
authorities II il true, as The Star has
taken pains to point out in the course of
1hi. cleanup campaign. that most of the
dirty places are hidden by fences and
walls that they cannot be easily detected
save by the good offices of the people.
When a wagon is allowed to stand three
weeks in a street, however. there is need
of explanation to satisfy the public that
the official agencies are doing their ut
most to keep the city clean. Examples like
this are contagious. One trouble is tina,
people become accustomed to things anC
take them for granted. The first sight OF
a trash pile may cause a shock, but the
second sight is less Objectionable, and
after two or three observations the spec
tacle becomes familiar that ii is
passed by without thought This is one
OF the reasons why the task ahead OF
those charged with the removal of trash
is a difficult one. If the dirt were al
taken away fast as ii accumulate:
there would be no especial trouble about
keeping the city clean. AS il is. the Ions
neglect of just such things as that wager
in 18th street piles up the debris to
point where IL calls for extraordinary ia
ciiities for shifting 1t 10 places of ulti
mate disposal.

and as an inspector was the busiest man
in America.
In this and other ways Mr.. WI ac-
quired vogue. He had what in occi
dental lingo is called a good time
and went home at last full of informa-
tion-political, religious. educational and
social-about American thought and

This Information was not the means of

acted together, down went the throne

But Mr.. WI. to the extent of his
powers and pull. co-operated, and he
should have opportunity now to help
along in office the new order which
China has adopted. He has seen prog
ress progressing in one of its best known
habitats; and by returning to us as an
Asiatic republican he could be of great
service to his countrymen in their new
relations to us as "a people treading the
path of progress themselves.
When on duty here Mr.. WI did not
like our Chinese exclusion act, and de-
clared himself with much frankness. But
his study of the subject showed him how
thoroughly the act represented American
sentiment, and before he left us he had
ceased to worry himself about it. He
had never worried us, as nobody ever
for a moment had thought him capable
of bringing about the slightest change
Should he come back We should probably
not see him return to that matter.
Much as he has learned here, there is
more worthy of his attention. Were he

Twas the voice of the people. 1 heard
it complain:
This over-exertion is causing me pain.
Unwearying patience and skill 1 must
bring
To the various songs they expect me to
sing.
Strange echoes they bid me awake through
the land
Each time a new leader takes charge of
the band;
One day it's song of affection so great,
A soft tenor strain for a gay candidate;
And next it's a song with fierce martial
note
In bass as threat to the people who
vote
To all kinds of subjects my talents must
reach,
With qualities neatly adjusted to each.
There are times when my tunes to So
prano are set.
Expressing the claims of the brave suf-
fragette;
And oft I'm expected to dsmally squeal
When some one can't get what he calls a
square deal.
The women of opera. likewise the men,
Insist on the right to lay off now and
then,
Vox Populi never has had a days rest!

Taft, on the other hand, is rated as not a

Pass a Retirement Bill This Session

1t is stated that some opposition is eX-
pected i'm the Senate to the Cummins bill
for the retirement of veteran government
clerks on the ground of the appropriation
that will be necessary to retire the oldest
of the public service employees at once.
1t is to be hoped that this opposition will
not deter those who favor legislation of
this character from pressing the measure
vigorously. a meeting is to be held
Thursday of the committee to which the
bill has been referred for the purpose of
final consideration and report. Some
move should certainly be made at this
session toward the establishment of a
retirement system. The government Is
losing money all the time as result of
having no method whereby the elder
clerks can be placed on the retired list.
Promotions are chOked and efficiency is
undoubtedly lowered throughout the serv-
ice, through no fault of the clerks them
selves. but because they are held back
by the necessity of keeping the veterans
in the service. The only other expedient
is to dismiss the elder clerks regardless
of all considerations of kindness and
humanity.
The United States government is singu-
larly slow in moving in this matter. Many
of the large corporations employing great
numbers of workers have long since
adopted retirement systems chiefly as
measures of promoting efficiency, and they
are all reporting that the results have
far more than compensated for the ex-
penditure. The governments contribu-
ton to the retirement fund will be insig-
nificant compared with the effect upon
the service, the great Improvement of the
spirit of the workers, the substitution OF
cheerfulness and hope for dependency
and inertia. the removal of stagnatins
stOppages in the way of systematic pro-
motions. the possibility of advancing de-
serving employees TO even more useful em-
pigments.
Regarding the subject solely from the
point of view of the employer, it is sur.
prising that the government has so lona
withheld its adoption of sensible system
of civil service retirements. On the other
hand, it is by no means creditable to the
United States that it has Jagged behind
not only the business institutions of this
country but virtually all other govern
ments in the world in point of making
the proper provision for it's elder work
ers. This country stands practically
alone in its total neglect of the people
who enter its civil service and devote
their lives to it. 1t has given pensions
TO it's soldiers and its judges on most lib
eral terms. but it denies to those who dc
the vitality important work of its routine
administration any form of retirement aid
whatsoever. Its record in this respec,
is surely not creditable, and it is to be
&c Ea fo, he
of the elder clerks who are so sorely in
need of assistance, that it will no longer
neglect this important duty.

More Victims of the Easy-Got Gun.

Score another for the unregulated pistol
traffic in the District of Columbia. In
fact. score two lives this time as part of
the price the community is paying for
the supposed privilege of buying guns
without difficulty or delay. A young
husband heard that his brother of whom
he had become jealous. had made a
boastful. threatening remark about him,
and he forthwith bought gun, which
two days later he used with deadly eff
feet upon his wife and his brother. He
probably complied with the law in all
respects when purchasing it, and doubt
less the dealer did likewise. and thus the
transaction was entirely legal. Again
The Star ventures to suggest that these
lives were wasted because of the lack
of a barrier against too ready personal
armament. Had this young man been
compelled to appear before some one in
authority with a witness as to his char
acter and swear to his need of a weapon.

The Oyster Farms.
From the Baltimore American.

There seems good reason upon which
to base the hope that. at last, the way
for the development of the vast poten-
tial oyster wealth OF Maryland has
been opened. That this state possesses
a bottom area now barren. but which
may be made highly productive through
oyster farming. is not anywhere ques-
toned. DR.. Brooks declared nearly
twenty years ago that the natural
yield of Maryland's oyster bottoms can
be increased twenty-fold. But while
other states with nothing like the nat
ural resources in the matter OF oyster
growing that Maryland possesses have
been making most of their limited re-
sources, this state has been going
backward and not forward in the oys-
ter industries. The Hannah law
passed in 1906, was so emasculated
that it has been useless in promoting
the leasing of bottoms and the grow
ing Of oysters by artificial methods
