FEDERAL EMPLOYEES STIRRED.

Perhaps economy measure that has yet been proposed at Washington has served to stir things up like that of Chairman Madden of the House Appropriations Committee which proposes to cut the salaries of all employees of the Federal Government $60 year. Not only do the National Federation of Federal Employees seek defeat this proposal, but they insist upon the continuation of the allowance of $240 additional compensation account of the high cost of living, allowance that was first made in 1919 account of the advancing prices due to the If the Madden amendment should be adopted and the additional allowance be discontinued it is estimated the reduction of the of government would not less than $150 900 900 year.
 It is understood, however, that Chairman Madden would be willing continue the $240 additional allowance for another year he the salary reduction of $6O year The latter would, he be- lieves, be a permanent reduction, and he contends that the additional allowance cannot be maintained for much longer anyhow. It is bound to be dropped before many years.
 We believe that far better way to reduce the the government civil service payroll would be to reduce the activities of the National Government and thereby the vast number of the Federal employees The Government needs fewer but should retain the best and pay them what they worth. Fewer employees and not smaller pay. generally speaking Is the desired end

Presidential Secrets.
(New York POst.)


 Grover Cleveland is the last person would think of introducing into Treasure Island' set ting but his letter offering Cabinet post to Judge Cullen, which made public the other day fol- lowing Judge Cullen's death, shows a President who has been charged with lack of imagination using a device dear to the pens of rOmancers. Cleveland wished to hear from Cullen without delay and also without risk of premature publicity. So he wrote:
 If must give you up and search further,
 you might, if you it telegraph He

 and which will bring with it much rejoicing

Is Money Ever "Spent" for Advertising?
(Port Angeles News ]


 A young and energetic executive took hold of a fine old retail business in New York.
