Wateh for our] ‘The Ashton Friends have elected Charles R. Hartshorne president and Miss Elizabeth Bond no kick coming, and I have noticed that it is not necessary for the government to advertise for clerks. As few resign and none die, why don’t some of the chronic kickers try a battle at clerical work in some commercial house, where the hours are from 8 to 6? And I'll bet a big apple their grumbling would cause their dis- charge in one week, and this is no messen- ger’s talk, either. Let Them Resign. An old soldier gives his views as follows: I have read the communications in The Star signed “Clerk” and “Ex-Clerk. The ‘burden of their song is the terrible mo- notony of their lives. No doubt, the writers have been so long in the service that it is monotonous to them. Why don’t they re- sign? There are thousands of good, hon- est, deserving and competent men and wo- men who will be glad to fill their places, and fill them with just as much abnity as the present occupants who are rushing into print and always complaining of the “awful monotony” of their positions. Any one who has been so long in office that the daily duties become “so monotonous” should resign or be removed, and give some one else a chance to earn an easy living for awhile. This plea of the poor overworked clerk sounds tiresome to us poor devils who labor from daylight to dark, and some- times we get paid for our labor and some- times we don’t. A good way to pay the old soldier a pension is to reduce the clerks’ pay 20 per cent, and those who do not like it may resign and be relieved of the “‘ter- rible monotony” of working as clerks. Let the Tired Ones Be Relieved. Verbum Sap says: The thoughtfulness of Taxpayer in com- ing to the relief of the poor, tired govern- ment clerk was certainly very gratifying and deserves comment, while sixty years of active life is borne out that they who want most rest are easily the laziest, de- spite the poor, tired clerk’s assertion re- garding himself. Yes, truly, “he needs a nice, long holiday, and he ought to get it"— let him, by a.. means, in charity to himself, send in his name and be relieved at once. ‘To use his words, it makes me “heartsick” that so many government employes are suffering so from overtask while there are thousands, egyally competent, working from 10 1%;and more hours a day in stores fo! rr to $10 a week who would cheerfully accept the government grind, grind, g1 9f six hours at one-half the salary, 'o ely get two weeks’ vaca- tion, and then-often without pay.

T. writes: I have read with interest the recent statement of Civil Service Com- misstoner Harlow before the Senate com- mittee on civil service and retrenchment, as published in The Star. And because of its large-minded fairness and keen busi- ress judgment, I yenture to call attention to an “inside” view on one point, Can more work be eccomplished by longer hours? — stituent of so begrudging a nature as to wish to deprive a fellow-being of the one- half hour allotted to him per day in which to munch a frugal luncheon. “Tf the three branches of our government legislative, executive and judicial—are co-ordinate in regard to their different functions, what more right has tha legisla- uve branch under the Constitution to make rules for the conduct of the daily routine and management of the executive that has the executive to formulat2 and enforce rules for the legislative branch? “Is not the executive branch usually In- trusted to the care of men quite as com- petent in their sphere as the legislative kranch? Not only does this seem like med- dling on the part of the legislative branch of the government with matters over which it has no jurisdiction, and should disclaim cognizance of, but it is usurping authority properly belonging to ths execu- lve, for section 161 of the Revised Stat- utes says: “The head of each department is authorized to ribe regulations for the government of his department, the conduct of its officers and clerks, the distribution and performance of its business,” etc. How One Bureau Works. “Clericus” writes as follows: “By your columns I see that the usual annual fuss over sick leaves in the Treasury Depart- ment js now on. As everybody reads The Star, will you allow an old clerk, who has had experience of years, to say to the pow- ers that be that In the largest bureau of the Treasury Department—the sixth aud- itor’s office—sick leav> absolutely costs the goverament nothing. The reason is plain, The work in this office is current work, and must be done at the end of each quar- ter; so when a clerk is absent, either on leave or sick, his fellow-clerks, by working over hours, do the work, and get no credit for extra time. In fact, hours and days of extra time are given in this office, with no credit; but if late or absent ten minutes, though he does his work all the same, he gets a deduction, either in leave or pay, and Hid standing for efficiency is also ré- duc2d. “Now, if sick leave is to be abolished, let the clerks who are compelled to work over- time, in ill-lighted and-badly ventilated rooms, have credit and pay for the extra tim2. That is fair and just. Will the offi- cials who are so worried over sick leaves give this a thought?” —_—_—-—_ SENTENCES IMPOSED. Court Affixes Penalty for Crimes of Sundry Offenders. Chief Justice Bingham pronounced sen- tence Saturday upon a number of offenders against law, who had be2n previously con- victed in the District courts. They were as follows.

It was discovered that Graves had previously served a jail sentence. He was given a year and a day in the New Jerszy state prison. Willian Whitfield, colored, was sentenced for larceny from the person of Charles B.. Gray, Christmas day, to serve two years in the New Jersey stat; prison.
