There are number of other men in

an old-timer and the Saints think he Is

Government Paw.

From day to day testimony is being
tive to the inadcquacy of the pay of
( the government employees of the lower
grades in advocacy of the passage of Il
bill which establishes a higher stand
ard of compensation in the public serv
ice. Many tales Of hardship are being
I told The condition of families forced
to live on the merest pittances is de-
I scribed These are not exceptional
eases, but typical. the truth being plain
! that the United States is a poor pay
master. that the government service,
/ in its lower ranks. is wretchedly com
pcnsated.
! For many years pleas have been ad-
/ vanccd for a general revision of the
pay scale of the government to con
I form to the changed living conditions i'll
( this country Salaries and wages have
/ conc ~ in every line of private en-
ploymcnt. while for half century the
! United States mas maintained the same
scale, save AS to the top. Notable ad-
| vances have been made in the higher
ranks. on the plea that the cost of liv-
! ing has advanced, but there has been no
| amendment as to the men and women
who perform the more humble but
| equally necessary services at the other
end of the line and in the middle.
! Living is not necessarily more expen-
sive in Washington for these classes of
| people than elsewhere, and the Illus
trative conditions that have been
brought to the attention of the House
committee are not exceptional. The
government pay scale is not adequate to
the needs of the workers, whether they
live here or elsewhere. The Arlington
gravediggcr who told pitiful tale the
other day would be no better off in some
other city. The simple truth is that
the United States has stood still in the
matter of compromising his workers
while every other employer in the coun-
try. in recognition of the general ad-
! vance in the living cost. has raised the
pay scale.
Recently it was proposed in the House
TO add an hour to the working day of
the clerks without additional compen-
sation. Against this project loud out
crv arose from all quarters and when
( the matter came to vote it was de-
4 feated four to one. 1t was urged in
(; the debate on the measure that instead
of increasing the working day the gov
eminent should increase the pay scale.
to keep the United States in line with
the tendency of the times and to meet
the actual needs of the public service
workers. This should not be allowed to
remain merely sentiment. but should
| be worked out. without delay, in the
, form of an enactment that will correct
condition which is highly discredita-
! BILE to the country.

The Session.

Some hope is expressed by members
Gals that the session may be brought
to close by the end of july, but this
would seem TO be futile expectation.
Although some progress has been made
on the regular and extraordinary meas
ures it is inevitable that unless there is a
tremendous speeding up by both houses
under a concerted program of haste the
legislative work will continue until the
LIST of September at the earliest. The
fact that this is a presidential year
does not justify the expectation of
rapidity as in normal conditions The
preparedness measures are not of an
emergency nature, to be rushed through
in great hurry as was the bill passed
the other day increasing the regular
army by 10000 men. They are basic
reforms, far reaching in their effect and
involving not merely heavy immediate
expcn diturcs, but a long continued out
lay of public money ON a large scale.
If they are hastily and badly framed
the country will suffer sorcly. Upon
them depends the national security. and
they must be framed with painstaking
care and studied at every stage with
great deliberation. One of these
bills is now before the House, and a
measure - the same effect but in diff

Once there was an optimist
Who didn't do thing
But give a song happy twist
And sit around and sing;
He said from care we should be free
And every sorrow shirk;
And, to be quite consistent. he
Declined to go TO work.
Conditions changed They handed him
An AK both keen and strong;
They babe him turn to labor grim,
And never mind the song.
He toiled away-and still his lay
