EDITORIAL PAGE
Now the critics ar trying to
prove that Paul Kevere never took
that historical lide, and that Maud
Muller never raked hay; that she
didn't ever have any hay to rake,
and had never met a judge, unless
it was a judge of good whiskey.
Next thing these smart fellows will
try to have us believe that Lady
Godiva did not ride through the
streets of Coventry, arrayed in a
wealth of gulden hair nad a scared
smile.
-Mother is man's best friend; she
always stands by her boy, no mat
:er how good or how onery he is.
Money is man's next best friend—
it attracts and holds the world to
him. The wife comes third in the
list. As a rule she is her husband's
good friend—until tile n;oney is all
gone, riieu she becomes as uncer
tain us the wind that blows.
Most of the murderous instru
rtv v"s of war are manufactured by a
g lehearttd woman, who was form
erly Miss Bertha Krupp. The ter
ribie guns her machinery turns out
have caused many thousands of wid
ows and orphans. And she rolls in
the wealth secured by means of her
d?ath dealing devices.
There is said to be enough gold
in the teeth of the living and dead
people of this country to fill the
largest freight ship afloct. Pros
pectors tea thousand years hence
will find rich pickir.es in what con
! etitutes our cemeteries of today.
When father and mother visit
the burlesque show," mother is al
| ways anxious for fear one of the
seams in the numerous variety of
tights may yield and slip a little
! and give father a view that is not
down on the bills.
During the year just past more
than five hundred million dollars
were spent by the American people
for candies and sweatmeats—enough,
to build a hundred battleships or
erect half a million fine homes.
Fashion authorities are still try
ing to locate the waist line in wo
men. They'd better place a husky
young man on the job—lie and the
girl will do the locating without de
lay or trouble.
It s?ems that just as soon as some
men succeed in gaining a resi
dence on Easy street, some other fel
low comes along and attempts to
shove him in the gutter. Such is
life.
A little tragedy: Mohter tells
child that an angel is beautiful, has
wings and flies. Child tells mother
that father called the hired girl an
angel. The hired girl at once flew.
There are still a f«-w people in
this crazy modern world who are in
favor of short courtships and long
marriages, but their number appears
to be crowing rapidly less.

Pensions Help to j!
Check Great Waste
by Constant Chang
ing of Employees
By GEORGE W. PERKINS. Financier
A FEW loss pork barrel bills and a few more pension bills -would re
sult in a considerable net saving in money and a considerable im
provement in efficiency, but there is :nore IMMEDIATE GLORY
FOR TIIE MEMBER OF CONGRESS. MORE HEADLINES IN A
PRETENTIOUS PUBLIC BUILDING, THAN A PROPER PEN
SION" PLAN FOR GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES.
In the large corporations with which 1 have been connected there is
no longer . :iy question about the increased efficiency that has come from
the policy ot providing better sanitary conditions, proper compensation
for accident and adequate pensions for old age.
PENSIONS HAVE LENGTHENED THE SERVICE OF THE AVER
AGE EMPLOYEE. IN MANY LINES OF BUSINESS GREAT W-ASTE
EXISTS THROUGH THE CONSTANT CHANGING OF EMPLOYEES.
STATISTICS SHOW THAT THERE HAVE BEEN MORE THAN NINETY
THOUSAND VOLUNTARY RESIGNATIONS IN A PERIOD OF EIGHT
YEARS FROM THE NATIONAL CIVIL SERVICE RANKS. MOSTLY
THESE MEN HAD BEEN IN THE SERVICE LESS THAN TEN YEARS,
INDICATING THAT THEY WERE YOUNG MEN, ACTIVE MEN, MEN
WHOM THE GOVERNMENT ACTUALLY NEEDED AND THAT THE
MEN WHO REMAINED WERE OLD MEN, LESS ACTIVE AND LESS
AMBITIOUS.
Our government has something more than two hundred and seventy
five thousand employees in the classified civil service. The average salary
is approximately one thousand dollars a year. This means that there are
a great many employees who receive a great deal less than this. There
fore they cannot provide against accident or old age out of their- pay.
THE WAY OUT OF THIS PROBLEM IS TO SEND TO OUR LEG
ISLATIVE BODIES MORE UNSELFISH AND PUBLIC SPIRITED REP
RESENTATIVES, MEN OF VISION AND PATRIOTISM WHO REALIZE
THE MAGNITUDE OF OUR COUNTRY AND THE PLACE IT MUST
TAKE AMONG THE NATIONS OF THE WORLD.
