Fifty Years AGO

The Star for July II. 1899, quoted Life
magazine as follows: 1.-THE presidents Of
the great universities should
Pay Of Upper receive larger salaries than
Seronts' they do. So should another
group Of important men

Uncle Sam has q raft Of employees who are
paid fully as much, or more than they are
worth. For mere labor whether 1t is the
labor Of clerks or of scrubwomen. he pays
so much more than the market rate that
swarms Of applicants scramble for the minor
jobs under the Government. But for un-
usual talent and demonstrated ability he
pays so little, compared with market rates
in the outside world. that frst-rate men
who work for him do so. as a rule, at q sac
rifice Of their pecuniary interests" Sounds
familiar, does 1t not?

have been thrown into the potter's field"
Gen. Porter eventually located Jones' ashes

back to Annapolis for interment.
