This appears probably as an unjusti-
fable expense to go in the collection Of
SO cheap a commodity as waste paper.
But the collection is not the only detail
Of handling the product. At the rear OF
the home in Pennsylvania avenue is a
long shed. Here is to be found another
force Of men. These are the packers.
AS the wagons dump their loads, the
papers and magazines are sorted and
packed into great bales for shipment to
the factories.
The paper must be culled. in order
that similar qualities may be placed in
the same bale. Last year the Salvation
Army collectors succeeded in securing
the factory shipments something more
than a carload a week.
This work Of collecting and asserting
the paper supplies occupation for many
of the men who seek assistance at the

THE SPIRIT OF A WESTERN
CITY.

The Missouri river has been the
recipient of a great many small IA
vors from successive Congresses, all
of which total up to very respect
able amount of wasted money. The
sums came in driblets of $4,000 or
so, just about enough to pay for rip
rap work; but not enough to buy a
cents worth of increase in the rivers
lavigability.
There was always excuse for it
the fact that the Missouri is a river.
But there was little naviga ton; ard
# the presence of water gave osten-
sible excuse for the waste, the al
serce of real shipping formed an in
surmountable obstacle to any appro-
priation that would actually further
commercial use of the waterway.
Not long ago Kansas City set out
to show Congress something; to put
itself on the maritime map. A mil
lion dollars was raised by public sub-
scription and put into boats and
barges, and the boats and barges put
on the river and made use of despite
the obstacles to navigation.
This Congress is appropriating
S2,0oo,000 for the improvement of
the Missouri river.
The pork barrel has always con-
veyed one moral: 1t will help those
who will dip their hands into it. 1t
is a relief to find it this time con-
veying another as well: 1t will help
those who help themselves.

merit getting its deserved reward
would be vastly increased. People
would be more willing to enter Gov
ernment employ and, once in It, to
give their very best service 10 it. The
result very quickly would he an in
crease of efficiency that would far
more than compensate for all the eH-
penditure undertaken in order to eS-
tabliSh the retirement system.
This is not mere assertion and
glittering generality. L is the tes-
timony of every actuary who faS
studied the conditions, and o. every
Cabinet minister in a decade who
has given thought to it, as most of
them have done. There is 70 unccr-
tainty about it.
Moreover, this conclusion of the
matter is horne ont by the expert
ence of other countries with civil
pensions; by that Of cities, school au-
thorities, and Industrial or trauspor-
tation corporations. The whole world
has learned this lesson Of tho eco
nomics and the humanity of the civil
service pension-the whole world,
save the United States.
Who would favor abolishing the
military pension list, or the retire
ment pay of army and navy officers: ::
Not corporal's guard of public n;en
could be mustered to dare such a
thing, because the public opinion Of
the country would not bear them out
in it.
Very well. Let civil service pen
sion and retirement system he Gre
ated, and in five years it VIII he just
as firmly established. Nobody will
dream of disestablishing it. Its
workings will prove its effica"y. its
sound economics, just as the work
ings of such systems elsewhere have
resulted in their retention. There
is no uncertainty. 1t is not an ex-
pertinent. A generation ago it might
have been so regarded; it cannot
possibly be considered an experiment
today, unless by people so innocent
Of information about the worlds ex-
periencc that they know none of the
facts.
There is no department in the pub
lie service where the argument of
sound business policy so strongly
favors pensions, as in the civil serv-
ice. An old soldier is pensioned be-
cause the country is grateful to him
for services rendered; not because,
by pensioning him, it improves the
military establishment. An army or
naval officer is given liberal retired
pay because, presumably, he has
reached the age at which MS eff
cheney is somewhat impaired, and it
is desirable to get younger men
pushed 70 the front Of the service.
That is the precise purpose to be
service with the civil service. The
argument is the same in one case
as in the other. It is utterly impos-
sible to Justify the maintenance of
a retirement list of the navy and the
army, at a cost of several millions
per annum, with any set of argu-
,nents that do not just as strongly,
or more strongly, uphold the PROPOSE
tior of civil service pensions and re-
tirements.

SENATOR BACON.

The death of Senator Augustus
1ctavius Bacon of Georgia reno, es
from the upper chamber one more of
the veterans of Congressional life.
Senator Bacon throughout his long
career was a diiigent worker and
ali exponent of the conservative
progressivism which has been wide
~ characteristic of Southern states
manship since the days Of the Poru-
listic uprising in that section. He
was a man of wide erudition and ,n.-
blemished character, than whom no
man of his time was a more devoted
adherent of the old traditions of the
Senate.
We are yet too close to the events
in the political evolution that has
been in process since the Spanish
American war, to be able quite to
realize what that process has been
doing to the Senate. We know that
it has been making new ideals and
new methods, and bringing new
type of men to that chamber. The
Senate has steadily grown more and
more responsive TO the appeals of
national thought, until today there
are not a few observers who predict
hat popular election and primary
nomination of Senators will shortly
make the upper body the moro radi-
c;l side of Congress. Senator Bacon

AMONG BRITAIN's GREAT DEAD

Observant visitors to Westminster
abbey may have noticed in one of the
groups of statuary near the north
door of the editice a remarkable arm
on one Of the figures. Not a few peo-
pie have thought that it was an exag-

matter of fact, it was actually mod:

of England.
Burton was the deans verger, and
on one occasion he was asked if he
would like to be buried in the abbey.
Burton replied in the affirmative,
and also asked that the fact that he
was champion prizefighter Of Eng
land should be inscribed on his tomb.
To this the dean actually consented,
but when the time came it was de-
,cided by the chapter that the inscrip-
ton should be omitted. Burton,
however, was buried in the abbey, al
though there is nothing on the tomb
stone to indicate who or what he was.

Water.Drinking With Meals

Pursuant to a tradition of long
standing, it is a common custom
to forbid the drinking of water
at meal time. There was time
when such advice appeared most
reasonable.
Professor Hawk and his pupils
at the University of Illinois have
been Investigating, during the
past few years, the correctness
of the current attitude toward
this question, with results quite
at variance with the traditional
idea. When the influence of
water-drinking with meals was
examined by direct experiment
on man the alleged direful con.
sequences were found missing.
There were no apparent effects.
On the contrary, the general con-
clusion from all the findings was
that if water is taken with meals
there is a better digestion and a

Since there is constant tend.

whose knowledge of the given
