Secretary of Commerce Redheld in his annual
report, urges the necessity of retirement system
for superannuated employees of the governments
civil service. That such policy can be carried
out by the government so as to be ultimately a
means OF economy seems to have been demon
strated," he says. Secretary Redfeld is business
man, and he recognizes what has been recognized
not only by members of former Cabinets, but by
President Taft who earnestly recommended TO
Congress the adoption of retirement system.
This would seem to be the identical form of
economy referred to by President Wilson in his
address to Congress. There are many items in the
million dollar budget that could with profit be dis
pensed with in favor of civil service retirement
measure.

Two justices of the District of Columbia Su-
preme Court, formerly members of the House Of
Representatives, have assured the people of Wash
ington that they may safely depend Congress for
justice and fair dealing where matters relating to
the Capitals finances concerned and have urged
the cultivation of a better understanding and a
spirit of cooperation. The present session is but
three days old, yet the old attempt to impose in
justice and hardship upon the people of this city
has been renewed. The Committee of One Hun
dred, organized last winter for civic defense, is
still in existence. The Herald would respectfully
suggest that this committee appeal at once to JUS
tees Covington and Mccoy for advice as. to its
course of action. Would they suggest that the
taxpayers of Washington remain silent and in
active, depending upon Congress as a whole to
champion their rights and defend them from the
effort to burden them with unjust taxes, or would
they recommend that reply should be made to the
first volley from the hostile band in the House
District Committee, which, animated by personal
spite and animosity, is again seeking to saddle an
impossible burden upon $4,000 people and retard
the development of the Nations Capital1

tribute to the economic strength and soundness of
the country and to the patriotism of its people in
every class and walk of life that the shock has
been so admirably withstood." 1t was the war
crisis, too which caused the administration finally
to abandon its theory that government could

In recent years, however, we have shown ten
deney to take new point of view in regard to
this matter of sickness. We realize that sickness
is not merely affair of the individual or family
affair. 1t concerns the well-being of the whole
community.
Moreover we know that among the poor and
among those who, though they are really poor, are
obliged to pretend that they are not poor sick
ness may be serious menace. The injury to the
family; both direct and indirect both physical and
moral may reflect the whole community.
Furthermore, we have come to realize that our
old attitude in this matter was ignoble. We sec
that toward sick human beings we ought to feel at
least much tenderness as we feel for sick ami
mails.
AS result there has grown up in this country
vast system for the relief of those who, while
suffering from sickness, cannot afford the enor-
nous expense that sickness entails.
But we should be careful not to take too much
credit to ourselves. The development OF free hos
pitals and sanatoriums has not resulted wholly
from philanthropy. In giving to the poor, medical
science has proitcd by the poor 1t has made the
poor means by which it has been enable to pur-
its Investigations and to increase its knowledge
Now, in using the poor for this purpose, there
is something disgraccfu, something that offends
both taste and OF justice. After all the poor
are essentially like other people. Their common
humanity cries out against being made means of
experiment The very practice of experiments on
the whole has created in the minds of many of the
poor a mistrust of medical science, fear Often
they prefer to endure sickness rather than subject
themselves to the risk of being experimental upon
Often they avoid the free dispensaries until their
cases beyond help
But it should be borne in mind that much of
this distress is unreasonable. AS matter of fact,
the free dispensares while attracting students of
medicine also profit by the services of distinguish
ed practitioners, of wide experience and knowl
edge and skill. 1t is under the direction of the
experienced men that the students work
The best attention that patient can receive
anywhere may be received at free clinic. Often
the poor are more skillfully treated there than
the millionaire would be in his own house.
The prejudice, however, is natural The poor
are so used to being taken advantage of in their
everyday lives that mstrust has grown up among
them, concern lest, even in their weakness and
debility, they may be exploited.

One Of the most beautiful and notable
events Of the season was the debut OF
Miss Mary Wheeler Vest, made yesterday
at the home OF her uncle and aunt, Mr..
and Mrs. William Burr Harrison, lI2
street. Despite the inclement weather.
hundreds of society folk thronged the
Harrison home to welcome the new
debutants to Washington society.
The house was beautifully decorated for
the occasion with pTofusions OF green
foliage, plants and palms. and large
quantity Of flowers sent to the young bud
by admirers. Miss Vest. who is a grand
daughter of the late Senator Vest, is
petite blond. vivacious of manner and
attractive. She was gowned in a frOck
Of white chiffon made with soft lace
draperies and pearl trimmings, and car
ried an arm bouquet OF pink roses. Mrs
Harrison, who introduced her niece. wore
a handsome gown Of wistaria brocade
with a coTsage bouquet OF violets.
A stringed orchestra played throughout
the tea, which was followed by a small
dinner party.
Those among the young set who assist
ed Mrs Harrison in entertaining the
guests included Miss Francise Williams,

The widespread complaints, however showed
how closely most people lived to the margin of in
come.
If we happen to be familiar with the
details of the daily life of those about US we
know that in most cases people spend just about
as much as they earn. In fact, great many people
spend more than they earn. There are compare
lively few who keep we'll within their incomes and
save.
And this condition is not necessarily the result
of extravaganza. 1t is due partly to our absurdly
high standards of living to the competitive spirit
that people to make great sacrifices for the
sake of keeping up appearances But chiefly it is
due to the high cost of food, to the spirit in our
life which makes human beings exact from one an
other just as much they can get and to give one
another in return just little as possible
One consequence of the general tendency to
live close to the margin of income is that when
sickness appears there is inadequate provision.
Often there is complete generalization of the do
mestic life.

So often, the degeneracy OF family may be
traced to one sickness. As result of the sickness
the members of the family often find that they
cannot meet their debts They feel deep sense
of injustice. Moreover, few months after the
sickness has disappeared it becomes unreal To
pay for that disagreeable experience gradually be-
gins to seem unnecessary. So they forget to pay
incidentally, they learn how easy it is to> impose
on Others to escape meeting their obligations
For there is nothing in the world more easy to
acquire than the spirit of graft which is in its ma
ture either dishonesty the preparation for dis
honesty
