WASTE IN CLERK HIRE.

From $50, 900 to zoe, 900 superhuous employees of

point of being removed from the payrolls but do not
get quite over the edge" observes the New York Her

at takes a common sense private business two
weeks TO dispense with jobs that have no work for the
job holders to do. It takes = government machine,
trying to operate on a business basis but not knowing
how to get down to the brass tacks of it, anywhere
from four months to four years to eliminate public
jobs that have no excuse for existence.
"At an average of $3.50 a month 200, 900 needless
names on the federal payrolls lift a million dollars a
day out of the taxpayers pockets virtually every day
in the year. This is approximately what the transpor-
tation tax directly and Immediately costs the tax bur
dened American public. The shippers and receivers of
freight, struggling under this load every day, know
what such a tax means. The travelling public, hand
ing over the tax at every passenger ticket office in the
country, knows what il means. But all of il is only
about enough to pay 200, 900 useless employees

NEW ONE.

This being the day when we all worship at the
Shrine of Terpsichore it is our public duty to report
all the new ones as fast as they are brought out for
inspection. Chicago has submitted what she pro-
claims to be the last word in dancing. The more you
look at it, the more you will conclude that it is not
only the last word but the last breath.
The Equipment to put it over properly might not
meet with the unqualified approval of Mrs. Gundry,
but for that very reason it will afford her unlimited
opportunity to indulge her particular p~enchant. So
the old lady is due for the shock of her life.
Chicago's effort is called the Conversation walk"
Skirts must be not longer than a Scotch bagpipers
kits. The pure thread Gordons must be rolled be-
low the dimples. Omit everything else to the point of
scandal or police interference and you are dressed for
the party.
The dance itself does not seem to be the most i'm
portant point for its sponsors do not give as full par
ticulars as they should. They say it must be seen to
be fully appreciated. However, they say it goes like
this: Greet your partner and amble down the floor
languidly, conversing the while, shift your gum, bal
ance forward, shift your gum back to the other cheek,
fox trot a step or two, shift, do a one step, not for
getting the gum, resume the walk and conversation.
Repeat as long as the music continues. As the last
note of the bass drum ceases to echo in the far cor
ners of the ballroom, swallow your gum.
The new dance is recommended as great exercise
because it brings into use muscles not so frequently
ticatory muscles.
The dance is having quite a vogue in Chicago and
is expected to spread rapidly over the country.

LACK OF COURTESY TO H OWNERS.

Why should the water department of the city of
Casper shut off the water supply in any portion of
the city without notice to the consumers? Does this
department not know that water is a necessary arti-
Gle, in every household, that it is more or less con.
stantly used That a suspension of the supply with
out notice 10 the user disarranges the household pro-
gram ano works hardship for which there is no occa.
sion? Not to mention the actual suffering in cases of
sickness.
There is no excuse for such action except, thought
lessness, carelessness, negligence or whatever it is
that affects persons placed in charge of public affairs,
who exercise a little brief authority.
Would it humiliate anyone connected with the city
water department to notify the people of any district,
either by telephone, through the police department or
by any other convenient city employe, that water
would be shut off for certain necessary reasons and
to prepare themselves with such supply as would be
necessary for their wants in the meantime.
The people are entitled to this courtesy. The wa
ter plant belongs to them, not to gentlemen who are
hired to run it.
Just a few days ago water was shut off in quite an
area, without notice whatsoever to the people and re-
manned off for several hours, at a time of day when
the midday meal was in course of preparation and
water was urgently required Within this area at the
time were a number of sick. It was necessary to
carry water for several squares in order TO complete
helpless.
1t does not occur to any water patron in that par
ticular area, that the city water department., in the
instance cited, acted with ordinary judgment, ordinary
sense or ordinary decency toward the consumers.
Where city officials get this autocratic stuff they
pull SO frequently is past understanding.

A NEW SPECIES.

A traveller whose business calls him into many sec
lions of the country, has for his own amusement made
rather a wide observation of the dancing craze which
has affected the entire country in the last few years.
others, but his way of summing them up is out of the
ordinary. Our observer observes thus:
"In the event the world is again submerged by flood
as was the case in Noah's day, the person whose duty
It will be to march them aboard the ark in pairs
should take along with him a pair of dancing fools,

eies and should be preserved for posterity in the event
there would be a posterity after the next flood.
mot having anything else to do after the work of
each day is over, / generally visit the dance halls of
whatever city / happen to be in, and, believe me,
brethren, some of the freaks that l have seen on the
floors OF our dance emporiums would make old man
Barnum turn over in his grave. The so-called male
of the species is a wonder. He is rather a live agent
from his shoulders down-that is, he is nimble of feet
and supple of waist-but from his neck up / am sure
a state of Justification has set in. The head of this
creature is covered with a thick, glossy-like substance
that I presume is hair, done ir a slick, sealskin fash
fy under the full nostril is parked a splotch of fuzz,
sometimes called a mustache. This creature is usual
" clothed in form-fitting garments, the waist being
cut high and snug fitting Immediately under the arm

emergency be used for cutting tools, and the cuffless
bottoms now flare out in bell-shaped formation. Je-
h~osaphat! What a specimen of humanity.
LAS for the young girls who cultivate the friend

if they can be called women. What I would like to
know is, Who let's 'em loose? Bodied of hair, they

CHARACTER IN FEET.

Henry Watterson's old newspaper, the Louisville
CourierJournal has given US a new idea in forming
judgment of human character. 1t goes to the very
Foundation. Let it tell you:
'"There is a possibility that a number OF Louisville
industries will investigate the new science of pedology
as an aid in their choice of workers.
"In the past, chiropody and surgery have been the
only professions Immediately concerned with feet, etc,
etc. In the future. directors of employment, voca-
tional experts, ct al, may be known simply as ped
ologists.
'History has shown conclusively that such sirens as
Cleopatra, Helen of Troy, Dellah, Venus, Queen Mary
of Scots, Madames de Montespan and Du Barry, Mrs.
Leslie Carter and Theda Bara all possessed a certain
type of semi-refned slender foot and ankle and

The Snake River Sentinel man contributes some
valuable information gained by first hand contact
with the great unemployed. He tells us how it is:
Having come into personal contact with the So
called unemployed of the country just recently we
feel quite prepared to answer some of the questions
that are perplexing many writer's at this time.
"In the first place many of the unemployed are en-
tirely so by choice as we learned on the aforemen-
toned ride on the deck of a freight, and furthermore
these same young fellows have refused to work for

GET HIGHER ABILITY.

Since there has been such a demand for economy
in government from every corner of the country we
have heard less about increase in membership of the
lower house. What is needed most in the lower house
is not an addition to the 435 seats provided, in which
members simply rattle around, but a decrease by half
and n doubling of the salary in the interest of secur-
ing ADLER members. If We hung up Sic, 900 salaries
we could hope that men of higher quality would be-
come candidates. 1t would cost no more in the pay
roll and would prove economical in the long run by
lar man would bring to the job of being a congress-
man..
There are many things that could be said for a re-
duction of membership, but not much for an increase.
There are some able men in the house, but the gen.
eral average is mediocre.
