Items Gathered m From Far and Near

Colonel as a Thrower of Sixes. From the Chicago' Record-Herald. A great many people seem to be worried because Theodore Roosevelt will not be counted by the census enumerators. Owing to the fact that the census sheets Till have been turned In before the colonel returns to this country, he and the members of his family, who are with him In Europe will be omitted from the records. But there Is no occasion for alarm. Col Roosevelt is one of those rare individuals who never need to be counted In . order to be assured of a place "among those present." As Dr. HHHs eloquently said in a recent sermon, "Roosevelt always throws sixes." We do not presume to be able to give a professional definition of the meaning of the phrase "to throw sixes," but we believe it has something to do with being on the winning side. In any event, there Is no reason to fear that the colonel will cease, because he is not enumerated, to be America's most distinguished citizen.

The Scene Of Battle

And now the scene of battle ha3 changed from. the nation's catpitol and the balls of congress. For months we have gazed at the dispatches from Washington and in them read the story of the battle of Beveridge, Cummins, Dolliver, LaFollette, Norris and Murdock for the people and rejoiced that these men who wear no man's collar and who listen to the wishes of the men back home and not to the whispered word and the promise of advancement In the band of mercenaries gathered under the skull and cross bones, have fought the good fight. For weeks we have all read the tale more thrilling as the struggle increased, of the sturdy fighters who have seen the traps and pitfalls laid for the people while Sloth sat Idle in the adulation of the honeyed word of winking Greed.

And now the scene of battle changes. Just as in the House and Senate when votes were lacking to place the legislation of Greed upon the statutes; just as Greed mustered the votes of the mercenaries to save Cannon lo, the game repeats itself on this other battlefield In Indiana. Healing and Taggart. Boss and Rlngster. Republican or Democrat? Greed knows no party. And the fight Is on In Indiana.

For the order has gone out for the slaughter without quarter of those who would make an end of the craft of Overlords and Pirates who feed on the work of men that already are overburdened. Revolutionary? Dangerous? Nonsense? Read, then! Just an Instance amere episode in the story. The United States Steel company, an Infant Industry, is highly protected. The Jim Watson stripe of "conservative" the whited sepulchres of the Republican party, nay the agents of the very Greed itself tell us that the tariff as it stands is for the "protection of American labor." What now Is the princely sum with which we reward our "real beneficiaries?" $727. $727 forworking S4 hours a week under the man killing strain which steel workers must endure. The Greed that buys it human life at that figure; that puts the collar on the free born American under the guise of his protection That is the same Greed that sold Christ for twenty pieces of silver to the same Greed that killed him because he preached the Gospel that would put an end to Greed.

And now the battle has come into our own midst. Here in Indiana the Game of Greed is being played. And honest men will be turned against honest men that the agent of Greed shall be set above the man who has fought for the men of his state. Think man, think of the community of interest which is sending out word to its agents who tongue in cheek protest that they are loyal to Beveridge, while in the next breath the word is whispered of the price of the man who is to sell him for twenty pieces of the money of Greed.

Are ye blind and helpless that this alliance of Greed should work here in your midst and not have power to fl.ght it? The day approaches and is here when the people must fight their own battle against the interests against Greed. Beveridge can do no more. The battle la yours and for you to fight. The mercenaries and the ringsters are already at work.

Let Keallng and Taggart triumph; the spoils will be divided, the word will go back to Wall Street that the victory is won and the people of other states who are so bound by the machines of Greed that they have not even the chance to vote will hear the cry of the whole people become a taunt and a jest of unclean men.

REORGANIZE A USEFUL SERVICE Life Saving Corps Is Included in the Shakeup of the Treasury Dept.

PLANS FOR IMPROVEMENT PENSION LIST FOR MEMBERS IS FAVORED AND ALSO A GRADUATED SCALE OF WAGES FOR DARING WORKERS.

BY JONATHAN WIN FIELD. TV'ashinirtoii, May 14. With the reorganization of the various branches of the treasury department, announcement is to be made shortly of a complete reorganization of the life saving service. Not only does Secretary MacVeagh of the treasury consider that this service is a most important one, but he has taken steps for its improvement. He has drafted a bill to be introduced in congress which if passed will place the service on a pension basis. The bill contemplates two propositions: First to create a retired list for superintendants of life saving districts, keepers of life saving stations and members of life saving crews, constituting the field force of the service; and second, to provide a graduated scale of Increase in salaries for the same officers and men, based on length of service. What MacVeagh Says. In speaking of the subject, Mr. MacVeagh said: "I think some such provision is indispensible to a thoroughly efficient service, because of the reluctance of superior officers to deprive of their means to support worthy subordinates who have expended the best years of their lives in the faithful service of the government. Justice both to the employes and to the public service demands it. Our nation, notwithstanding its reputed great wealth and liberality in expenditures, is the only one of the leading nations of the world that has not made some provision of this kind for employes who have become incapacitated in its service. The trend of public sentiment in this direction in our country is unmistakable, as shown by the action of our great universities, our principal municipalities and many of our large corporations. So generally is this course being adopted by our best managed railroads and other progressive and powerful corporations, that the conclusion seems irresistible that it has not been dictated by considerations of humanity alone, but is regarded as a

sound economic and business policy."

Never Reached a Vote. j A record of events has shown that

similar measures have been introduc

ed in congress during the last thirty-

years. In 1888 a bill granting pen-j sions to certain officers and enlisted men of the life saving service was unanimously reported from the com

mittee on pensions of the house, as was one several years later, but neither measure reached a vote.

A contention, hitherto advanced by

some members of congress in opposition to such a measure, is that the granting of retirement pensions to the life saving service would operate as an entering wedge in the creation of a pension list for the benefit of the

civil employes of the governemnt gen

erally, and their opposition to the ad

mission of .this principle, finally resulted in the reporting and passage of a bill Increasing the compensation of the field force of the service. According to a carefully computed table. Secretary MacVeagh shows that the increased cost of maintaining the service by the enactment of a retirement bill, based on the present actual cost of the service would be: For the retirement feature alone, 1 173,000, and for the longevity increase of pay $243,700 per annum. A Non-Partisan Service. Under the provision of a congressional act of Slay 4, 1882. Secretary MacVeagh says the life saving service made strictly a non-partisan service. By reason of this fact is definitely removed from the field of political patronage and the duties of its employes, being of an unusually arduous and dangerous nature, the service was naturally the first to suggest itself to the public mind as deserving of a pension for its disabled and superannuated members. Data on file at the treasury department shows that the dangerous nature of the service, risk of death, injury and disease incurred by the life saver, is not less than that of the United States soldier or sailor. While the life saver is in much less danger in. time of actual war, he f s more so in time of peace. Extra hazard is incurred by the soldier and sailor only at intervals of many years, while the perils of the life saver run through the entire period of peace as well as war. Every enlistment of the life saver is entered with the certainty of exposure to extraordinary danger, while the vast majority of those who enlist in the army

or navy do so with scarcely a prospect of Incurring the dangers of war service. Are Like the Soldiers. In his . recommendations to United States Senator Frye, who is to introduce the bill in the senate. Mr. MacVeagh says in part: "The life saver's habitudes and course of life are very similar to tbose of the soldier and sailor. He is enlisted for a specified term of service after a rigid physical examination, to which is added a professional one not required by either the soldier or the sailor, is subject to rigid discipline, to constant guard duty, and the performance of daily drills, and, when occasion requires, to do battle. The nightly patrol, involving long, difficult, wearisome marches in all conditions of weather. Is one of especially hardships and exposure which finds no parallel.

In time of war the life saving sta

tions are admirably adapted for military outposts or pickets. This fact was so apparent at the outbreak of the Spanish-American war that, upon the request and recommendation of the secretary of the navy, congress passed a special act, directing that the stations upon the Atlantic and Gulf coast be kept open and manned for active service during the months of June and July, when otherwise they would have been closed for the sole purpose of cooperating with the navy. Rendered Aid to Navy. They rendered aid of great importance by advising the navy department of the movements of government vessels by means of the service telephones. It was the life saving service which first reported the arrival of battleship Oregon from its journey from San Francisco to the eastern coast. Had the Spanish vessels seriously threatened the coast, the service of these stations crews would have been invaluable in making prompt discovery of their appearance." In conclusion, Mr. MacVeagh states that "the foregoing would seem to jus

tify the grant by congress of the same rates and conditions of retirement that are allowed to the army and tie navy: and the revenue cutter service, and ought to dispel In the minds of the opponents of the general and apprehension that the passage of such a bill could be cited as a precedent for 6uch extension. '"The second feature of the bill is to increase the pay of surfmen keepers and district superintendents ten percent for each five years service, not to exceed forty percent. It is intend-

tu us a recognition or uie rocreasea values of a man's services as he gains experience in and knowledge of his professional, a flat rate of pay the same for the experienced veteran as for the raw-recruit, being clearly unjust and inequitable. It furnishes a definite increase in salary at fixed intervals without regard to the chances of promotion through the occur ence of vacancies in high grades.
