primer superintendent Orphans
Home Tells Of Conditions.

Edward c. Willis, former superin-
tendent of the orphans home at At
Gibson, has taken exception to some
of the items quoted in the 1884
biennial from the home and denies
that the Improvement pointed out by
Mrs. Burns, the present matron. were
made without an increased use of
funds. Both Willis and Harry c.
Bowman, a member of the board of
control, have recently explained the
orphans home report
When the report was filed by Mrs.
Burns is showed deplorable conditions
in the home when she became matron-
unSanitary conditions, damp. water
soaked walls with no plasterng. bath
tubs upside down, filthy, dirty river
water for drinking and domestic use;
and generally bad physical condition
of the plant and equipment. These con-
ditions. the report recited, have been
corrected. Now Mr.. Willis has pre-
pared statement. In his discussion OF
affairs in the home. Willis says:
The amount appropriated by the
legislature Of 1911 available for the fis-
cal year ending June 80. 1913, was
81, 084.66, while the amount apprOpri-
ated by the legislature of 1913 for the
fiscal year ending June 30, 1914, was
$48, $4,000. These two legislatures also
expenditures from the fee fund. A to-
tai of 81. 2777 was expended from state
funds for the fiscal year ending June
30, 1913, while a total of $50, SIS was
expended from state funds for the f1s-
cal year ending June 80. 1914. An addi-
tioral amount of ST. 507.84 was expend-
ed from the private Dell estate fund for
improvements during the fiscal year
ending June 30. 1914.
I'm my request for appropriations
to the legislature of 1913 set out al
of these needed improvements. The
ways and means committee of the
house had the board of control OBJ
tain an opinion from the attorney gen.
eral as to whether the improvements
listed by me could not be made out OF
the Dell bequest. which had just beer
turned over to the board by the ad-
ministrator. The attorney genera
ruled that this private bequest could
be used for these improvements and
the legislature did not make an ap-
preparation for the same. The amour,
expended from the Dell fund, &c.
5O7.84, should be added to the $751;
1855 expended from state funds
making a total OF. $69, 1853 expended

The Strassburg Verdict.

The verdict of the court-martial at
Justified in their treatment of civilians
at Zabern will not tend to allay the ill
feeling between the military and civilians
which has been in evidence for some
time past in Germany. In order to acquit
Col. Won Reuter- the court went back to
a decree issued by the King of Prussia
to intervene without waiting for. the
civil authorities to request action when
the latter Were powerless. There is some
doubt As to the present legality of this
decree. which was issued at a time of
crisis and has been ong out of date in
spirit. and has i'll some instances been
cordiug to the testimony taken during
the trial. that Col. Won Reuter- savagely
cursed youth because ne passed him
without taking off his cap This incl
dent tNpifies the bad relationship be-
tween the civilians and the military in
Germany. This is assuredly not the end
of the matter. for not alone in AIsace
but i'll most parts of Germany there is
pronounced feeling of resentment against
the army on the score of the Zabern
affair. and parliamentary discussions, per-
haps to the confusion of the government
are virtually certain.

The Garden Incident.

The discussion caused by the reported
transfer of Sir Lionel Garden as British
ambassador at Mexico City to Rio Janeiro
has brought out divergent views regard
ing the relations between England and
the United States. On the whole such
episodes are not unsatisfactory in the
end. for they develop almost invariably
that, despite certain amount of apparent
hostility. the British and American people
are in close accord in thought If one is
to be dubious of every British action re-
sarding American interests there is no
end of trouble and worriment. Quite
naturally comes feeling of good faith
with reference to British sentiment
toward this country. 1t has been ID
long. long time since the two countries
were seriously at odds, a full century.
and in the meantime much water has
flowed through the gulf stream, and
the nations have been brought to UNI
derstand each other more perfectly.
, Frequent interchanges of visits have
occurred until Englishmen of the
travelling class are quite familiar with
American conditions-though some of
them still like to comment upon us
with IA touch of satire-and by far

country better even than the majority
of Englishmen.
There is abundant reason for an honest
sentiment of friendship between the two
peoples. and the governments have had
no difficulty in late years in reaching a
basis of perfect understanding. The re-
spective ambassadors have been men of
discretion and tact and have done much
| to allay the hereditary feeling of hos
tility that may be likened to family af-
| lection not perfectly brought to the point
of expression. AS for Mexico, Sir Lionel
| Gardens action was simply in keeping
with the policy of Downing street, which
has not been identical with that of the

Government Office Conditions.

The researches of Representative
Johnson of Washington into the work
ing conditions of the government
clerks which are indicated by re-
marks he makes on the subject OF the
proposed roof garden at the new en-
craving bureau building. might proht-
ably be continued throughout the serV-
ice. and might with even more adVan-
tage to the government be engaged IN
by other legislators, seeking ways anu
means of improvement 1t has been re-
peatedly demonstrated iii reports OF
bureau and department chiefs that IN
a large number of the government
offices the clerks are housed worse
than in the average modern mercantile
establishment. Almost any p-to-date
manufacturing plant is better as re-
CARDS the working conditions. than
many of the departmental offices IN
this city. owing to the long neglect OF
the governments building needs.
In some of the offices. particularly in
rented quarters. the clerks are huddled
together too closely for good work
and decidedly too closely for good
health. In many places natural light
is never sufficient to enable the clerks
to do their work. and artificial light is
essential, with a consequent strain
upon the eyes. Some of the quarters
occupied are old and insanitary. Some
of them were never designed for the
purposes to which they are now put.
Some of them are mere makeshifts.
The government has bought five
squares of land in this city. upon
which it was originally intended to
.1ay y-ft ,ay,f h1Ii1 mos
Since the starting of this project it
has been discovered that the site thus
provided is too small for three build
ings and it is proposed to put one or
them on the Mall a plan which is not
particularly satisfactory SO long as 1t
is not accompanied by compromising
additions to the park space. But re-
CARELESS of this issue. the fact remains
that there is nothing doing in the way
of building erection. The actual ap-
preparations for these structures, so
seriously needed by the government.
are yet to be made. Two of the three
departments for the housing of which
a large sum was spent in land pur-
chase are occupying rented quarters.
The other is joint tenant in a build
ing with two other departments. and
all three are suffering from conges-
ton. with the result that all of them
have had to rent additional quarters
outside to the serious disadvantage of
the work.
Whether roof garden is put on the
engraving bureau or not. Representa-
tive Johnson's inquiry into the condi-
tions affecting the government work
ers should be pressed. to the end. it is
to be hoped. of fastening congressional
action on this general subject and Civ
ing the government suitable equip
ment for the transaction of its bust
ness.
