NO REWARD FOR LOYALTY

What can man hope for who en-
tefs the government service as
career! Let us look at some actual
cases. Here is the story of one as
told by e. j. Ayers, chief clerk, De-
paftment of the Interior. He cites it
as case similar to that of many 9TH
ers In his department, and says there
are many others who are I'm worse cir
cumstances:
The records Of our department
SHOW that he entered the service as a
laborer ut 5000 year, after a service
OF three and a half years in the Uni
ted States navy as first-class fire.
man, with an honorable discharge. He
mas been with us for more than thirty
three years, and is sixty-six years
Old and has given more than half his
life to the service of the government.
He owns n little property three
miles beyond the Chesapeake juno
ton, and he gets up early in the morn
ing, before daylight and comes in to
work and goes out after dark at night
Today he is getting $40 year. He
has raised family of nine children
boys and one daughter. His elder
sons are married and have established
homes of their own. Two of his sons
were in the military service in France,
and his daughter, twelve years old,
lives with her grandmother, where he
is supporting educating and clothing
her.
He is white man, very intelli-
| gent man, eminently qualified for this
particular line of work. His wife is
dead. He is his own housekeeper and
he does the cooking and the washing
and the ironing.
His home was established in its
| present location because it was not
thought practicable to raise a family
| in the district, and he bought piece
of property in Prince Georges coun-
ty three miles beyond the railroad
terminal, which distance, as I said, he
walks twice day, leaving in the morn
ing most of the year before daylight,
and returning home by dark. This
small place consists of shack and a
few acres of land on which he has a
mortgage of $1,000, and you can judge
that he enjoys no cOnveniences other
than the small house, which protects
him from the elements.
"The house is divided into four
rooms, the partitions being of paper
tackled to the framework, there being
no laths or plaster.

center of the room he has used for
more than twenty years, and the pot

READ LANES DIAGNOSIS

In his final report to the President,
upon completing his work as secre-
tary of the interior, Franklin X. Lane
sketched with sure hand out of the
abundance of his experience the pres
ent Washington condition:
The call is for thinking. planning. engi-
neering, craftsmanship. For we are quick
ly passing out of the rough-and-ready

things, into a period of more intensive
DEVELOPMENT, in which we must seek 10
find the special qualities of the individual
unit, whether that unit be an acre OF
desert, barrel of oil, mountain
canyon, the flow of a river or the capac-
ity of the humblest of men.
ITO conquer and to master-the same
old task is ours; but not In the same OLD
way. We have discovered this land ana
made 1t ours, but this is not the END
of our journey, for now we are TO give
thought. the deepest thought, to the ways
in which 1t may be made to yield most
abundantly in the things which COM

Washington is a combination OF pohtl-

loo hureaus 1t contains statesmen who

not statesmen. 1t Is rich in brains anu

larger capacity would do the task better
Ability Is not lacking. but 1t ts pressed
to the point of paralysis because OF an
tnfinitude' of details and an unwiilingness
on the part of the great body OF puomc
servants to take responsibility. Every
one seems to be afraid of everyone. The
self-protective sense is developed abnor-
mally, the creative sense atrophies. Trust
confidence, enthusiasm-these simple Vir-
tues of all great business are the ones
most lacking in government organization.
We have so many checks and brakes
upon our work that our progress does
not keep pace with the nations require
ments. We could save money for the
government IL we had more discretion as
to how we should use that given us.
For the body of the civil servants there
should be quicker promotion or discharge

officers there should be salaries twice AZ

and appointments on merit has been
built up for the classes of positions
covered by the law. But beyond GER

fully operative even in connection with

no central authority has jurisdiction,
have brought about inequalities which
are discouraging to the workers. This

port of this commission is now in the

on the stove contains his Sunday din
ner, which he has prepared for him
self, consisting of white navy beans
and fatback. These beans are now
costing him twenty-five to thirty cents
quart, and the fatback costs him
forty cents pound. 1t could have
been purchased few years ago for
seventeen cents pound. and the beans
for ten cents. He does not get any
fresh meat because he cannot afford
to buy it.
ITO my mind 1t seems pity that
the United States government should
employ men of that type, or any ether
type for that matter, and not give
them enough to live on decently. 1t
is particularly pity in this case be-
cause he is somewhat superior to
many of the employees. He has
stayed with us as matter of faithful
ness to the government. and has
stayed with us when he could make
more in one week outside of the gov
ernment than we pay him for one
month.
"Others have left us, but instances
of that kind have been very few. AT
one time l had in our auditorium our
employees and l made an appeal to
them to stand by us during the war
period, and there We're more than 3OO
of them present, and they all of one
accord assured us that they would
stand by us and would give us the
benefit of their labor in our depart
ment during the war period, notwith-
standing the fact that the price for
labor outside was great deal more"
This curious pride in their work and
loyalty to the government and the
government service was thing that
cropped ND in the most unexpected
places.
As one employee put it: 81 think you
will find that every service seems to
be quite proud of its work. / know
YOU Will find it in our service as far
as compensation and such as that are
concerned The pay in this office is
small. but that element, that feeling
in mans mind that he is really help
| ing to accomplish good work and
helping this government to function
well, is really part of it. 1 find In all
my talks with employees that they
really feel proud of their work, and
that pride is really what gets things
| done. l think that is true everywhere
in the whole service, and particularly
throughout the executive depart
ments."
That is curiously true, and it is one
of the reasons, possibly the chief rea,
son, why men stay on in the depart
ments year after year at low rate
of pay and not much possibility OF
promotion.

GOOD JOKE ON DANISH KING
Monarch Jumped Too Quickly to Con-
clusion That Eskimo Was
Actuated by Loyalty.

An amusing story of the king of
Denmark's recent visit to Greenland
was recently told by NJ. Aagaard of the
Danish legation, to members of the
Danish club in London.
AS the royal yacht was approaching
Greenland dark speck became visible
on the open sea. 1t proved to be a
solitary Eskimo in his little cayak
(native canoe). The Eskimo came OH
board and his loyalty in having braved
the perils of the sea in such frail
craft assured him the warmest of well
comes. The king presented him with
cigar and, what the Eskimos most
highly prize, a rifle.
On landing, the king described the
incident to the Danish commissioner
in Greenland and asked him who the
man was.
The commissioner in accents of hor-
ror, replied: "The mans an escaped
convict. He broke prison yesterday,
stole a canoe and put to sea. We
thought he had been drowned"
