Caughren Theatre Notes

The rendition of the "Man of the
Hour" by the Fender Stock Company
at the Caughren Monday evening was
a happy surprise to number of the
atre goers. This is the most preten-
tious offering from a dramatic stand
point given in Sank Centre by this
popular organization The production
was finished and the story was con-
scientiously told, while the speciaities
rounded out very pleasant evening.
Next Monday evening "Thorns and
Orange Blossoms" will be the bill.
This is melodrama with an abund-
ance of comedy and very strong heart
interest. Two new people will be with
the company for this production. Pre-
sent indications are for a capacity
house. If you haven't secured your
seats, you had better attend to the
matter at once. The usual popular
prices of rs and 35 cents will prevail.
Cal Stewart, better known as Uncle
Josh, will play at the Caughren to-
night. Very few but have heard some
record of his. The management should
have taken the precaution to advertise
in huge letters "This is not a moving
picture" for we are to have the fam
Gus comedian in the flesh. With MIN
are his wife whose stage name is
Gypsy Rossini and who knows how
to handle violin, and his daughter,
Marjorie Stewart. From all that has
been heard she is evidently a chip of
the old block. The company are di-
rect from the Orpheum circuit. In
addition there will be three reels of
film. .4.: .gf ~.
On Friday night Triangle feature
is booked. The play is called "Home"
and means more than it implies. Man
ager Dubeau saw the film in Mime
apolis and Immediately secured it. He
assured the Herald that it is abso-
lutely clean. It is story of the new
ly rich who use their money vulgarly..
The young daughter, being possessed
of college education, comes to the
rescue. Bessie Barriscole leads with
Charles Ray and Louis Glaum. TRAN
gle films are always good and this one
is exceptionally so. There will be seven
reels.

MUCH MAL|GNED
Miss Etheridge Submits Clip
pings and States the
Real Facts.
SHOWS THEIR HARD LIFE

Government clerks are not the well-paid,
care-free employees painted by members of
Congress and certain magazine writers.
according to Miss Florence Etheridge,
treasurer Of the Federal Employees Union.
Miss Etheridge has made a study of the
conditions under which government en-
ployes do their work and has complied
numerous statistics and collected many
representing them, giving to the people
Of the country at large a false impression
Of the federal worker.
Referring to statements made in
Congress that the positions in the gov
eminent could be filed over and over
again, Miss Etheridge says that is
what the government now is doing,
and by it is lowering it's efficiency. She
gives figures of the civil service COM
mission proving that trained employees
are leaving the government service for
better things outside.
Between $3.50 and o'clock and 4:30
and o'clock, six days of every week,
the streets of Washington" she says,
ARE alive with a hurrying throng of
people going to and from their various
duties in the great departments of the
government. Viewed from the stand
point of an observer, they are not
prosperous-appearing set of people.
Prayed trouser edges. glistening back
breadths of skirts, are everywhere in
evidence, and. yet more damnatory,
young shoulders as well as old are
stopped and sagging.

Long Since Last Salary Raise.

"And. finally. his salary, as class.
has not been raised since 1853, the aver
age salary having steadily decreased
since that year, owing to the introduce

salaries less than those already estab-

The favorite argument advanced
against improvement in the conditions
OF his labor is that if ne does not like
his job he can quit. AS a matter of
plain fact that is precisely what is
happening-these positions are being
Allied over and over again. by class OF
employees of less and less ability as the
lack of opportunity for high grade work
ers becomes evident.
This is signally illustrated by the
report of the United States civil serv-
ice commission, which shows in the
departmental service in Washington
1.671 designations during the year
1915-1916, as against 1882 new ap-
pointments. The comment of the COM
mission itself on these facts is enlight-
ening:
The statistics show an increasing
tendency on the part of the most capa-
BILE persons who enter the service TO
resign for employment in fields in
which there is better organization and
greater opportunity for advancement.
This constant depletion of the service
means serious loss to the government

Subject of Flippant Comment.

These are the federal employees
known broadly throughout the country
rs government clerks-and, as such,
the subject of much flippant comment
by writers of magazine and newspaper
articles. And since the nature of his
work has made him inarticulate this
employe has few means with which to
combat the frequent and sometimes ILL
natured expressions of that ingratitude."
Miss Etheridge quoted several para
graphs from magazine articles, one of
which said: THE quiet ease with which
the average government employe goes
about his tasks is reStful to the eye.
You can go into any department at
Washington at any time of the day and
find at least a part of the employees
pleasantly engaged in reading or con-
versation."
The facts in the case" continued
Miss Etheridge. ARE simply these. and
ere impossible for any persons, in Con-
gress or out of it. to controvert.
1.-The federal employee works a mini
mum of from seven to eight hours
day. He has one-half hour for lunch.
He has. unless he is a per diem worker,
from fifteen to thirty days annual
leave, and on occasion thirty days sick
leave. He has prospect of life ten
ure of his position, clouded, however,
by the knowledge of forced resigna-
tfons,' which sometimes occur in the
best civil service circles.
'He has practically absolute assur
anCe that under no circumstances and
by no efforts can he ever attain by
merit one of the highly paid administra-
tive positions, since these are admit
teddy filled from the outside His
hours of labor are closely regulated so
that each arrival at his desk mo-
ment late deducts half hour from his
annual leave. In most of the depart
ments he is not allowed to receive Wis
itors or even telephone messages during
Office hours.
