OLD MEN AND THEIR JOBS.

A recent newspaper dispatch re-
ports a movement to secure pensions
for superannuated government en-
ployes. The graybeard of the de-
partments has always been one of
Washington's most perpleXing prob
lens. In spite of all the red tape
that interferes with government eff
cheney, the government clerk is apt
to be a Woodworking man. He has
at least done his best by Uncle Sam.
1t is hard proposition to know what
to do with him when he gets by the
age of greatest efficiency.
In business it is much the same.
There are a great many concerns that
keep him long after the time when
he really earns his pay. But in per-
haps more he is coldly and curtly told
that his place is needed by a strong
er man. It is bitter day when he
is turned adrift. His heart and
hands are as ready to work as ever,
but the snap and vim of youth have
gone. He absolutely is not worth a
great deal of money, but the world
seems to turn to dust and ashes when
he is told of that fact.
The proposition in the movement
referred to is to establish a govern
ment pension system for aged en-
ployes. 1t may be possible to work
this out. But the taxpayers already
regard the cost of government work
as to high. If the departments could
by systematized by the same kind of
business ability that organizes a big
factory, they ought to be able to pay
their present wages, provide pensions
and not increase the cost at all.
The individual worker needs to
think carefully over this question of
uperannuatlon. Most men grow into
elderly life without realizing that
their power is gradually slipping
from them. They spend money free
ly and then are out of sorts with the
social system because some one does
not supply the needs which they
themselves have failed to anticipate.
In the long run 1t pays a business
concern to have heart. 1t can not
decide all relations between its EN-
ployes simply on the basis of buying
so much labor for so much cash. 1t
has to create favorable sentiment in
its own workshops and in the COM
munity it serves. Where it can rec
ognize long terms of service by spec
ial favors, it creates a sentiment Of
loyalty that does not otherwise exist.

Sobstuff.

The train slowed to grinding stop,
With sudden lurch and jolting jar.
A wild-eyed man leaned out and
yelled,
"a woman's tainted in this car.
Although l know this state is dry
And such appeals are risky,
The need is great. In all this crowd
Has anyone some whiskey?"
Involuntarily few
Hands flew to bulging hips,
But fearing, no one dared, until
A girl with painted lips
Thrust forth dainty silver flask
And sneered, Here, I am game.
I may be pinched for flashing this,
But here goes, Just the same"
A wave of pity swept the crowd,
The man stretched forth his hand,
Tears in his eyes, caressed her,
Held high the bottle, and
He took two drinks, both long and
slow,
And said: God bless you, girl
this amt
Bad stuff. It does upset me so
To see woman faint"

THAT SANITARIUM.

After decrying Mr.. Greer's disposi-
tion to keep the sanitarium details
from the public, the Ashland Record
proceeds as follows:
"In the absence of more definite
information, many people believe the
proposition is merely in the promo
tion stage-that Mr.. Greer as yet has
no proposal from anyone, but merely
hopes to tie up a sanitarium site and
then secure control of the mineral
waters and take the two into the in
vestment market and fino buyer
thereby securing sanitarium for
Ashland and a block of stock there
in, or emolument, for himself"
Suppose the thing to he "only in
the promotion stage" Is that good
reason why the city should not bend
every effort to, help the promotion"
through? Grant that Mr.. Greer,
in the promotion" should get "a
block of stock or "emoluments." Is
Ashland more interested in keeping
a citizen from making legitimate
fee out of a fair promotion than it
is in getting a first-class sanitarium
and helping the springs project for
ward? Such argument is common in
Ashland, but it is mere sophistry. 1t
has been used by so many citizens so
many times that the life is nearly
choked out of the city.
Here is the truth in regard to the
sanitarium. Mr.. Greer had capital
lists who were ready to put fifty thou
sand dollars, or more, into a sani-
tarium If the charter amendment
which was defeated was carried and
a fair arrangement could be made
with the city for the use of its min
eral waters for sanitarium purposes.
The site had been selected-in fact,
two sites, either one of which Mr..
Greer had authority to close imme-
diately upon the passage of the
amendment and suitable contract for
the water.
Whatever arrangement Mr.. Greer
had with the financiers was pri-
vate. It was between him and
them and was none of the public
business. The thing Ashland should
have been most interested in was get
ting the investment, and not what
connection Mr.. Greer, or anyone else,
had with the investors. These finan-
ciers did not even ask the people to
pass the proposed charter amend
ment. They merely said: "If the
amendment carries we will have con-
fidence enough in the future Of the
enterprise to invest fifty thousand
dollars, or more, in a sanitarium in
Ashland" The supposed" investors
have not yet even asked the city OF
Ashland for the use Of its mineral
water. They have simply said: "If
we can get the use Of the mineral
waters for sanitarium purposes on
favorable terms we are ready to enter
into negotiations 70 build the sani-

FEMININE INGENUITY UNEARTHS
A "NEW ONE"

Did you, Mr. Husband, expect as
your premier Christmas gift this year
a lovely new oriental rug, tea-table
or charming silk kimono, per-
chance? With a card attached, of
course, reading ITO dear hubby from
his loving wifey."
Lay aside your fears. Very likely
instead twill be very fine set Of
tools in wooden cabinet, one of
those ingenious contraptions with a
place for everything so that there's
never an alibi for leaving tools ly-
ing about the house"
For your wife has been reliably
informed 1--WE wouldn't for moment
think of accusing those Keen Kutter
tool cabinet ads which have been ap-
pearing in our columns) that fine
set of tools will tickle your fancy i'm
mensely. In fact, she has heard that
most men would rather work with
tools than eat"
No, she doesn't intend to cut down
on your bill-of-fare even though that
is a tempting argument in these days
of expensive living. She simply has
it figured out that next spring there
will be quite bit of fixing up around
the house, taking off storm windows,
getting the screens ready, putting up
shelves, making flower boxes, etc.,
that you will gladly do for her be-
cause by that time tinkering with
tools will have become a sort of
hobby for you.

tarium. Mr. Greer, will you ascer-
tain upon what terms the water may
be had?" That, and that only, is
what Mr.. Greer is now attempting to
do. When he has done that, If the
terms suit, 1t will be time enough to
come forward and disclose the detail
of the plans and enter into a contract
with the city. Until then there is no
reason why the details should be ped
died about. To do so might appease
someone's curiosity, but it would
likely greatly hamper the consumma-
tion of the deal.
Since the charter amendment was
defeated, Mr.. Greer has no assur-
ance that his investors will build
the sanitarium. One of the terms
upon which they proposed to invest
has already vanished. Yet, Mr.. Greer
hopes that if suitable terms can be
made for the use of the water he will
be able 20 overcome the loss of the
amendment and secure the invest
ment.
That is what he is now trying to
accomplish, with little hope, Of
course, because of the ill-timed and
spiteful criticism, reflection and
suspicion cast about the attempt by
those who have never themselves
tried to interest capital in Ashland s
project, but who hope, by inuendo
and insinuation, to make it impossi-
BILE for Greer, perchance, to get
mede of credit by landing an enter
prise absolutely essential to the sue
cess of the springs project.
Ashland eternally bickers over non
essentials. That is her habit. She
stops to split hairs and loudly hag-
giles over whether it is tweedle dee or
tweedle dum, instead of grasping the
main chance. She is prone to bark
en- to the doleful wall of do-noth-
ings rather than stand behind those
who are, at least, making an attempt
to put the city forward. That is the
discouraging feature of the whole
matter. That is why few men will
persist long enough to accomplish
substantial good.
Ashland has entered on an under
taking that calls for courage. She
must look forward, not backward,
and have substantial faith enough in
the future to invest her money, not
upon what she has, or has had, but
upon what she hopes to be. She has
a large enough foundation to war
rant such courage and she must not
lag, as she has been lately prone to
do, or she will find herself with
burden too great to bear-the hour
or opportunity past-DacK-steppers
like Enders and his cohorts in the
saddle-Lithia park destroyed-the
city split in two with selfish dessen.
sion and jealous spite-heavy bur-
dens and dwindling fortunes, and no
man with courage enough to breast
the waves of villification and SANDER
that come with public service in Ash
land, to take the lead in a forward
movement that will raise the burden.
This is an hour sublime with over
hanging fate. Is Ashland strong
enough to breast the wave? viii it
be victory or cataclysm?
