'lynching understanding out CT
the usual line of routine killers.
In Central City, Colorado min
ing town, there was a young, hand
some clerk who was model for the
youngsters there. He did not smoke
or drink. He was faithful church
goer and taught a Sunday School
class. He was merry and engaging,
always deferential to older persons,
industrious and kindly-a paragon
of all the copybook virtues.
Occasionally, he would take
trips out of town, explaining that
he had some email business affairs
in Denver and elsewhere which
needed attention. The toWnfolk
understood that. Here was a
young man who was going to sue
coed! 1t was expected that he
would rise in business.
There was a long run of amaz-
ingly bold and successful train
robberies in Northern Colorado
and Southern Wyoming. One day
Central City read in a Denver
paper that the robber had been
caught. On the front page was a
picture of their model youth, hand
some Bill Carlisle, Gentleman
Bill" as he was later called.
This is what happened:
The young man, strolling home
from work one night, looked into
the window of a candy store. He
stood musing for a moment, then
went in and bought a glass pistol
full of candy. He went to his
rooming house, packed his bag
and left word he had been called
to Denver on a business trip.
REAL ROBIN HOOD
Two days later, he climbed down
over the hood of the engine Of the
Overland Limited at Cheyenne,
levelled his glass pistol at the
engineer and fireman and smiling
ly ordered them to stop the train
and go with him back through the
coaches. lie made them hold their
caps as receptacles for money and
jeWelry as he flourished his glass
pistol and ordered the passengers
to deliver.
This was the first of his many
train robberieS. He was a real
Robin Hood, distributing money
among newsboys in Denver and
playing freakish prankS with the
police. He wrote the police an
address where he could be found.
They rushed to the residence of a
justice of the Supreme Court. He
published the time and place OF
his next robbery, appeared this
time with real guns and carried it
off. But, like his less intelligent
fellow crooks, he was finally
caught and now he ending his
days in Rawlins Penitentiary
Wyoming, famed for his needle,
work, as he makes doilies.

Government Service
TNHE DEPARTURE of we'll trained Government en-
l. poyes to take positions paying higher salaries in
private employ to which attention called by the
Presidents committee reorganization, continues.
In fact it seems as though since the committee made
its report such employees have been leaving at an even
faster rate than usual.
NO SECRET IS MADE OF THE FACT THAT
THESE EMPLOYEES, WHO WOULD BE GENUINE
ASSETS IF RETAINED IN THE GOVERNMENT
SERVICE, ARE LEAVING BECAUSE THEY WILL
GET BETTER PAY AND BECAUSE THEY WILL
HAVE BETTER PROSPECTS OF ADVANCEMENT
OUTSIDE OF THE GOVERNMENT SERVICE.
In one recent case it was revealed that the departing
Government employe would receive approximately three
times the salary which the Government was paying him
when he took outside job.
These facts emphasize the desrablity of speedy
sideraton by the Congress Of the various bills which
have been introduced for the purpose Of improving con-
ditions in the Government service
The only wav in which the brakes can be applied to
the exodus of Government employees is through giving
those employees salaries which will compare favoraby
with those available private employ and by giving to
Government employees the promise of advancement on
merit which is implicit in private employment
AS the country continues its progress toward pros
peritv the temptations offered to men and women to
desert the Government service and seek their fortunes
under private employers will increase.
1T IS IMPERATIVE IN THE INTEREST OF PRE-
SERVING EFFICIENT CONDUCT OF THE GOV
ERNMENT THAT THESE TEMPTATIONS BE
COUNTERACTED BY DEALING FAIRLY WITH
THOSE WHO WORK FOR UNCLE SAM
Senator Pat McCarran of Nevada has introduced in
the Senate bill which would set up minimum pay in
the Government and which would provide periodic
increase in salary for those in the lower pay brackets
similar bill has been introduced in the House by
Representative William P. Connery of Massachusetts.
BOTH OF THESE LEGISLATORS WITH THE IN
TERESTS OF THE WORKING MAN AT HEART,
CAN BE DEPENDED UPON TO PUSH THEIR BILLS
FOR PROMPT ACTION.
The Civil Service Committees of both the Senate and
the House will probably hold hearings the McCarran
and Connery bills in the very future.
These bills are excellent in intent and both Senator
McCarran and Representative Connery the right
to improve them by amendment if investigation proves
that such amendment is necessary.
thorough study should be made by the Senator and
the Representative and by the Civil Service Committees
to determine the pending bills sufficiently wide in
scope to meet the needs of the Government service.
Serious thought should be given to the desirabv of
extending their provisions to include all Government
employees.
Such consideration would not cause any great delay
and it might Improvement in the measures.

in the hall. "You can't possibly

now, for the slender oval of her

take her away from him over so
many miles of salt gray-green wa
