An Example to the Government

The wicked, soulless corporations
trusts. money powers, and what not, ART
rapidly forging ahead of and putting
to shame the government of the United
States in the matter of recognition oi
faithful service and caring for super
ANIMATED employees. Pigeonholes ir
Congressional committee rooms are
filed with musty bills and reports, elab'
orate and ancient and dishonorable, al
dealing with plans and specification:
and recommendations and argument:
relating to pensions for those employees
in the civil service who have worn their
lives away working for the government
They are brought out during every ses-
sion of Congress and put back again
with new crop of proposals, the prod
uct of insincere or half-hearted effort.
II the government clerks have any
earnest friends in Congress, friends who
are willing to do a little actual work
in their behalf, this is the time for them
to demonstrate.
Corporations everywhere are doing
their duty by their employees. The gov
ernment of the United States is not. A
fair measure, remedying a disgraceful
condition introduced in Congress at this
session would be enacted into law.
The latest and most carefully modelled
system of employees pensions is the one
just put into effect by the National
Bank of Commerce of New York. 1t
has been adopted after a years study
Of systems in operation in this country
and in Europe Its provisions are far
reaching, equitable, and complete.
Each pension is computed from the
aggregate salary of the beneficiary dur
ing the entire time of his employment; !;
disability insurance is provided regard
less of the cause of disability or the
length of service and none of the en-
ployes will contribute a cent to pension
and insurance funds. Every empIoye
and officer of the bank is made bene-
hciary.
Every employe and officer OF the
bank may retire at the age of sixty,
with the consent of the board of direc-
tors, or shall automatically retire at the
age Of sixty-fve unless formally re-
quested by the board to remain longer
in service. Upon retirement under
either of these conditions the empIoye
shall receive for life an annual pen
sion equal, to per cent of his agerc-
gate salary while in the continuous serv-

Rejection Of Plaza Awards.

| That the President has found it neces-
sary to disapprove the condemnation
proceedings by which the Federal gov
ernment acquired the real estate needed
for the plaza between the Capitol and
Union Station is serious blow to many
of the III persons who were compelled
to surrender their property and who
have been waiting almost a year for
compensation. Prospects now are that
they will have to wait another year,
that is, with the exception of those who
will be driven by necessity to dispose of
their interests in the awards to specu-
lators for far less than their just and
true value.
1t is most unfortunate that legal
means cannot be found to pay such of
the awards against which no objection
can be found and that it is deemed
necessary because the President has
been convinced that some of the awards
are excessive, to nullify the entire pro-
ceedings. At present the only remedy
indicated is a speedy recondemnation,
involving. of course, another large ex-
penditure. But at all events the work
should be taken up at once and COM
pleted with the utmost expedition.
While retrospection seems futile un-
der the circumstances, there are certain
puzzling features connected with the
proceeding that cannot fail to suggest
themselves to the persons most directly
concerned. The work of condemnation
and award was performed by three COM
petent Washington business men, thor
oughly familiar with Washington and
its real estate values. John w. Chill
dress, II. Rozier Dulany, and Samuel
Ross have deservedly enjoyed the re-
spect and confidence of the community
for many years. With all necessary
authority and sources of information at
their command they were naturally re-
lied upon for just appraisal, and their
work was so regarded, though, just as
naturally, they received complaints from
property owners that their awards were
too low. More than six months after
the appraisal Representative Ben john
son, chairman of the House District
Committee conceived the idea that
few of the awards were too high. Next
the proceedings were reviewed for the
Department of Justice by Morgan II.
Beach, head of the land titles bureau
of the department and formerly United
States attorney for the District OF CO.
lumbia, a competent authority of the
highest standing. Mr.. Beach approved
all of the awards and Attorney General
McReynoldS recommended their ap-
proval by the President. The papers,
however. came back from the White
House and once again the awards were
reviewed this time by Mr.. c. S. Law
renee. of Tennessee, assistant to Mr..
Beach.
Mr.. Lawrence, of Tennessee, is keen
of vision. He made a discovery, or
rather a rediscovery of Ben Johnson's
discovery. which had not revealed it.
self to Mr.. Beach, Mr.. Lawrences
chief. So the work of the condemna-
ton jury had TO be set aside.
In the logical course of events it
would seem that the relative positions
of Mr.. Beach and Mr.. Lawrence in the
department would soon be reversed.
Meantime the confidence of Wash
ington in Messrs. Childress, Ross, Du-
lany, and Beach is mistaken.

plums from n fruit vendor on the street.

she said:

sure that they are ripe"
In a little while the child returned with
flushed cheeks and triumphant look in

whose atmosphere is low grade, whose
merchants themselves cherish sordid
aims, whose practice is unfair. 1t is a
misfortune to be employed there. But
there are stores and factories of the
higher ideals. The merchant is manly,
his pride is in the whole institution. His
happiness is in the orderly development
of his great foundation, precisely as il
he were the president OF college. He
has put his very life and soul into his
establishment. The employe people
soon catch his spirit. Certainly this is
as true of store or a msnufactory as
of regiment or an army. The colonel
makes the regiment. In all history the
general makes the army.
And the girl herself. Is not life to
her what she makes it, when she will
have it? The spread of intelligence is
now so universal that few are unin-
formed il they wish to be wise. All of
US must, we should. work. Whether in
shop or home.
Work cannot degrade us. Nor are
there many places where industry,
study, ambition, self-respect will not
yield advancement Since the world be-
gan it is the person, the worth of per-
son, that lifts, that leads on and up. No
social reform will ever defend those
who do not defend themselves. 1t is the
eternal law of heaven that We show our
faith by our works.
