The Place Hunters.

President Wilson's decision to hold Of
fee seekers at a distance Is wise ana
proper The time Of the President of the
United States should never be occupied
by importunate place hunters and their
boomers. He has bigger and more vitality
important questions to consider than that
of the mere personnel OF the govern
ment. There is no need Of personal ap-
plication to the claims Of candidates.
based largely upon partisan and factional
considerations. The government Is well
manned today. and the change at the
head from republican to democratic au-
thority in no wise lessons the efhciency
OF the men who are stationed In respon-
sible positions here and elsewhere. So
there Is no hurry to effect changes, from
the point Of view Of the public service,
whatever may be the urgency OF the
candidates. BY referring these people to
the various departments the President
not merely relieves himself Of burden
some responsibility. but he emphasizes
the fact that policies come above place
and that he is more concerned In what
the government does than In who does 1t.
It Ii most unfortunate for the sake OF
the American public service that the
spoils system prevails to the extent that
obtains even now, with the civil service
law In operation to cover a large per-
centage OF positions. With a slight ex-
tension OF permanent tenure the govern
ment efficiency would be very greatly In
creased. There Is no partisan warrant,
certainly no governmental occasion, for
the ousting Of faithful, expert depart
mental subordinates by a democratic adj
ministration because they happen to have
been appointed by a republican President.
The assistant secretaries, chiefs OF bu-
reaus, chiefs Of divisions. chief clerks and
others of like grade are all today more
or less apprehensive of disturbance, when
not actually in the course Of resignation
to anticipate virtual removal from Office.
Yet these men are in most cases emf
nently qualified through years of expert
ence to continue the work allotted to
them. Their successors cannot possibly
be as efficient for months to come. In
accordance with a tradition that has no
warrant save perhaps IN the cases Of a
few Of the assistant secretaries who may
be called upon at times to act in the
stead OF their chiefs, they may all go
sooner or later and the government will
lose the value of. their long experience.
In these days Of conservation it is q pity
the United States does not follow in the
lead OF some OF the old-world countries
and put itself on the basis Of sound bust
ness administration in respect to person
mel.

Somehow or other, In spite Of storm,
The world works around to the sunshine

The orchards bloom and the birds sing

And the wild flowers welcome the call Of

The wind blew chill and the sullen sky
Frowned as 1t bade the snowfakes fly.
Each winter has buried the flowers anew.
But somehow or other they all break
through.
Somehow or other each dull distress
Is sent on the road to Forgetfulness.
While the pleasant thought and the gen.
erous thrill
Are headed for RecollectionviIle.
Our feet may falter as on We go;
The way may be long and hard and slow.
But something compels us to hope and
try,
And. somehow or other, we all get by!

Campaign OF Machlnlsts.

Worchester. June 27.-A COM

for the purpose of providing ways
and means to organize the machin-

have been made TO organize this
class of workmen, but for many
reasons it has been unsuccessful.
With the spirit of the times being
favorable, it is believed that by a
united effort it will be possible to
organize the great majority of the
men working in this line of en-
ployment. The international or
ganization has one of its organizers
detailed to this city for the purpose
of conducting the campaign.

Refuse Arbritrators Reward.

Wheeling, w. Va, June 81

day. The master bricklayers re-
fused and strike was ilaugarated.
Through the efforts Of the Building
Trades Council all parties in in
terest agreed to submit all difFerea-
ces to arbitration. The arbritra-
tion board was selected and both
sides presented their case and fin
ally an award was made whereby
the hodcarriers were to receive
$3.50 per day, it being the unani-
nous decision of the board. The
Master Bricklayers' Association
now has repudiated its representa-
tives and refused to abide by the
award. The situation is serious,

New Retail Clerks Union
Is Planned At Meeting OF 600
Prospective Members.

Six hundred retail clerks met at
the Odd Fellows Temple in Gin
cinnati last night and adopted plans
for the perfection of a permanent
organization in this city. J. D..
Redding. general organizer of the
Retail Clerks Union, with head
quarters in Ft. Wayne, Ind, pre-
sided, and told the clerks that the
working conditions of their craft
in Cincinnati are worse than in any
other city in the country. He also
stated that the employers and en-
ployees are not as closely related
socially as they should be.
'In Toledo and Youngstown,
Ohio the re4ail clerks work until
9 o'clock on Saturday nights, and
through The week finish their work
at 5 O'Clock" !" said Mr.. Redding.
In this city in many of the stores
the clerks are forced to work until
6 O'Clock and on Saturday night
until midnight. This will be done
away with when this organization
becomes strong enough to make
the demands.
Every girl working as a clerk
should receive a minimum salary oi
SO a week, and that is little enough
to live properly"
Frank Rist, general organizer oi
the American Federation of Labor
assured the clerks that organized
labor in Cincinnati is behind in
their movement. He announced
that he had sent to the American
Federation of Labor for a charter
fer the new organization, which
would be given them at their meet
ing next Tuesday night.
Before adjourntng the meeting
Organizer Redding said: "How
many of you clerks here will join
the union ;" Every man and We
man in the hall promised to become
members.

POCKETS VERSUS HAND BAGS.
Real Reason of the Subsection of Wo-
man to Man.

man to Man.
Civilized man finds it difficult to
make his way through life without a
dozen pockets. The ordinary walking
suit has fifteen. Civilized woman
makes her way through life without
pockets, depending on single bag
carried In the hand. The professional
humorists have never tired of com
menting on woman's pocketless condi-
ton. but 1t is really no laughing mat
ter.
Here is a sex difference which is
something more than fashion, which
goes to the very heart of the subjec-
ton of woman to man. If we accept
Spencers definition of the evolution
airy process as consisting in progress
from an indefinite homegeneitE to a
definite heterogeneity the superior po-
sition of man is at once established.
His fifteen diversified pockets, each al
located to a separate use-watch, cigar
case pocketknife, purse, newspaper
and package of garden seeds-need
only be contrasted with the single
reticule in which the female of theTspe-
cies stores away an unco-ordinated
mass of handkerchiefs, toilet articles,
car fare, press clippings, telephone ad-
dresses, dress goods samples, confec-
tonery, memoranda and tradesmen's
bills that have long been settled by
check.
