The martial spirits in the ali

l run across it everywhere; for
glory we are spelling. We walk
with military stride, becoming to
the lingo, and take sort of whole
some pride in talking army lingo
The grocers humming warlike
tunes. such airs as Yankee
Doodle as he wraps up his bone
less prunes to gain little Doodle.
The plumbers thinking, as he
plumbs, of war, and he is singing,
"Oh, see, the conquering hero
comes, Red Bills Angora bring

repeats, while he stirs up the
gravy, the story of the golden
feats of heroes of our navy. The
lawyer drops the points of law

how his forefathers saw the Hes
slams scratching gravel. The
pastor takes martial text, a text
that treats of battling. and tells
how he'll be sorely vexed if he
can't WELD gatling. The baker,
as he molds his bread, in fancy
predetermines what he will do
with all his dead when he has met

The Controllers Extra Pay Ruling

~ tIe OF Inc STAR:
When the section of the sundry civil
Dill. treating of the and 10 per cent
increases for government employees,
was under consideration, Representa-
tive Moore attempted to amend the bill
by adding the words "or wages" after
the word salary He was assured
that the amendment was unnecessary.
Mr.. Fitzgerald basing his assurance on
a communication from the controller Of
the Treasury, who stated that he would
treat the wages of the per diem en-
ploye as salary.
Mr. Moore withdrew his amendment.
thus preparing the way for another
opinion to be added to that remarkable
collection to be found in the decisions
OF the controller. For it was decided
by this law officer that. as the salaried
employe is paid for every day in the
year, 1t was necessary to divide the
year into $50 days. and the division of
800 by that number. the result being
ceived per day by the man working 31s
days to allow him to be the beneficiary
Of the per cent increase.
In other words. the man working at
salary Of 81 800 year receives at the
rate Of IS per day, and he makes this
the limit of pay per day for the man
who can work only 313 days in the
year.
When this decision was given many of
us. though disappointed, attempted to
rived at this conclusion. We pointed
out that 1t was possible, though ex-
tremely improbable. that the man re-
ceiving per diem Of $50 could be
paid an aggregate Of over $500 in one
year by working Sundays and holidays;
that IS per day was the extreme limit
that could be logically and mathematfc-
ally defended, and that any other figure
would be an arbitrary limit based en-
tirely upon the personal opinion of the
controller. We argued in this way,
hoping. however. that the gentleman
would show that we were wrong by
reversing his opinion.
But he has taken from US even the
consolation of knowing how he had ar
rived at the conclusion he did In The
Star we are informed that Mr.. War
wick has decided that the pay for
extra work on Sundays and holidays.
performed by employees of the Library Of
Congress. is to be cisregarded in com
putting the increases in salary of small
paid government clerks" AS 1t was
only through working on such days
that the per diem employees receiving
over IS per day could be paid over
81. 800 year, we give it up. But per-
haps it was another clerk that wrote
this decision. JAS. F. BLAKE.
