TO-DAY I
BOTH PLATFORIVIS
FAVOR PENSIONS
Plank Adopted at Each Conven?
tion Urges Desired
Legislation.
Washington, July 7.? Members of the
committee of one hundred promoting
the Interest of the civil service em?
ployes of the government announced
to-day that the committee will en?
deavor to uiiiko action by Congress
square with **.e promises ol both
the Republican and Democratic plat?
forms.
A declaration In the Republican plat
form for civil service pensions is thu
Hrsl expression of this Kind which a
pol llcal party has formally made. A
declaration in tho Democratic pluOorm
that merit and ability rather loan po?
litical s. rvice shall be tlttf standard fur
promotions, is hailed by tiie commit?
tee ot one hundred ns the recognition
of a principal - wh'ch the committee
has earnestly at heart.
"Both political parties." says the
committee in Its statement, "took ad?
vanced ground in favor of tho Ju.it
claim of Federal employe.- in tiie c.lVll
service for relief nt the hands of Con-j
gresa.
Plonk in Republican l'lnt form.
"Tiie national Republican platform
says: I
" 'We favor legislation to make pos- I
slide the cqultubh retirement of diu-,
ubled ami superannuated membets ol
ill, civil service in order that a high r
standard of efficiency may be main-1
tallied.'
"This is the (list declaration made,
by arty political party in the United
Statt in favor of a civil service pen?
sion, The reason given is. the only
reason which would Justify tiny sucht
legislation, and thai is the mainte?
nance of a higher Standard of efficiency]
in t ne Sei vice.
?'Civil pensions will not be granted,
from motives of charity or philahthro-j
py. The experience, however.' of the:
iarge Industrial corporations in the!
United States which have tried such a. I
system :> that It does pay In actual j
dollars und cents, because It does pro-1
mote efficiency and works for icon-'
omy," >
The committee'" statement calls at?
tention to the fact that the platform,
declaration does not dif.crimii.ate bo-1
tiveen the several proposed systems of
establishing pensions, and snyn it is fori
Congress to decide whether a pension
system shall be upon n contributory I
basis or not.
'I h. statement quotes the Democratic i
plank as follows:
"'The law' pertnlnlitg to the civil!
service should be honestly and rigidly!
enforced to the end that merit ami
ability shall be the Mnndard of up-,
polntment and promotion, rather than
service rendered to a political parly;]
and we favor a reorganization of the i
civil service, with adequate conipensa- |
tlon commensurate with tho class of
work performed for all offielers and ,
employes of the benefits of the pro?
visions of thle employers' liability law; 1
w e also recognize lib Ir right of direct
I petition to Congress by employes for:
the redress or grievances.'
'This declaration," says the com?
mittee, "is a distinct gain for the civ 1
service employes in that it declares
that merit and ability shall be the
standard of appointment and protno
tlon, If all promotions In tiie olvii
(service Kvere determined by n.b'lllty
and not by favor, employes would bo
a much more content, d and a happier
i<fct of people.'' I
Tho declaration for abolition of "the I
:-..u law.'' giving the right of direct]
petition, is also strongly indorsed by
tli, committee.

Tin grip . was found, tin letters

back to New York. 11, went direct to,
his office, took down a telephone dlrec
tory, and began to call up old Prince?
ton gratis His conversation ran about
like this:
"ssy, Hill, the old doctor ts up
ngalnst it. There's a presidential
boom under way, und he has nobody to
attend to the correspondence and the
j .letalis. May 1 count you in on a
I plan to help the doctor out and to
open up headquarters right here?"
Wlth'n less than an hour McConiba

I sona of old Princeton, and he had
1 a campaign fund of from 510.O?O to
? $16.000. Tha oflices were opened, sle
? nographers were engaged, stationery
j was printed, and the Wilson cani
I palgn for the presidency, with Wil?
liam F. McCombs In chnrge, was uu
Ider way.
As lie had voluntarl v undertaken
the task, there was no turning buck,
j and McCombs devote,1 practically his
l entire time und attention to tho Gov
I ernor's boom.
J Tho Washington branch, with Pence
at the typewriter, was soon estab?
lished, and tho Wilson boom became
a reality 'ristead of the sporadic affair
McCombs had discovered at Princeton
several mouths* previously.

When the Baltimore convent'on

charge of the Governor's struggle
there, lie sat In the throne room and
vetoed and O. Ki'd plans as fast ns
they were submitted to 1 ? im. Despite
his lack of political experience. ho
proved a groat general nt the game.

men Palmer, Biirlesohj Hughes, Hard

1 wonder that Governor Wilson's ''per*

man is McCombs. Under his general*
ship and in th.- fate of tremendous

Horn In Indiana,
Thomas Rlloy Marshall was born In (
Manchostcr. Ind.. In lS'.t. He was
educated ut Wabaslt University und all j
his lire has stood up for the old
fashioned methods of education and j
.the 'old-fashioned 1 lens or govern?
ment. Ho is fond of referring to the
Dartmouth professor who, ns presi
dent of Wabash University) drilled him i
in tho principles and history of the i
republic's foundation.
"We studied the Federalist *nd 'Tho j
State Papers." Gibbon, .'Vienuluy and!
Hume." he says, "and bud to become
familiar with the great American
oases, tho Dred Scot -decision, the
Dartmouth College case, and such fa- j
mous cases. Such drill is Calculated
to fit men to take pult In affairs ns
American citizens."
He rovers the founders of the He- j
public and cons'ders them far superior
to "ihc so-called" statesmen of the j
present day. who, he says, arc pigmies I
in comparison.
Marshall began lifo as n country law ? j
s er. and but for his sounl common,
sense in refusing to run for Congress I
on the Democratic ticket when usked j
to do so in would probably have
passed his days In comparative ob
lacurity. When offered the nomination
ho said no.
He was urged to run on the' ground
j that It was his turn to bo defeated, "as
overy other decent Democrat in tho dls
; trict>,had been" . but lie stood tlrm and
said ho would not consider politics as
n vocation and would not accept any
i nominal Oh for h less office than Gov?
ernor of his State.

He was without enemies, bis record
was unimpeachable and he had always
ma le a strung appeal to the homely
common sense of American citizenship.
Ho had a reputation ns a trial lawyer
? grrat ability, he was strong with
iho church people of the State and he
was well known as a "sound man"
who hud always beep frank in all cir?
cumstances and who was as incapable
nf deceiving himself ns to what was
r'ght or wrong as he was of pcr
mltt'ng himself to be deceived by
others.

! "plain people" an-d his condemnation
of everything that savor.-d of political

and th.- machine and h's rrank stato
ment th - issues won him a plurality
! Of 25.000 or thereabout above his
j 11? ket.
I Marshall was known at that time,
; and Is l et, us a man of peace. He
likes ease, and Is opposed, to the stren?

Washington, July 7.?Virginians
throughout the country are expected to

ing Colonial daya there was inoro Il?
literacy In the Old Dominion than In
any other State.
he data of Illiteracy in this country
during that tlmo wait gathered by an
examination or signatures to the ex?
tent legal und other documents of
Colonial days, for tho purposo of aa
ci 'tattling the number of signers who
had to make tholr marks.
The Uureau of Education says that

Tho bureau has Issued u bulletin on i
the question as follows:
"At Albany of 360 men's namos ex?

"A significant result appeared from
our study of Illiteracy, namely, that
the male Dutch Inhabitants of l'lat
bush mad* continuous Improvement
in this respect, the pel centoge of Il?
literacy decreasing gradually from 40
per cent, in 1870 to about 6 per cent,
in 178S"
A most painstaking count of the
seventeenth century Virginians indi?
cates that of 2.1C5 tnnle adults who
Signed Jury lists, 4? per. c?nt. made
their marks, and of 12.44'. male adults
who Sighed deeds and depositions. 40

"Of the 151 signatures of Dutch
women In New York which were avail?

Indicated. i >f 3,068 women signing
del ds and depositions In Virginia, 75

"By way of comparison with these
testilts. a study was made of tho sig?
natures to deeds executed In Suffolk
county (BOstOn)i Mar.s, for two periods
In the seventeenth century n genera?
tion apart." says the bulletin. "Two
volumes of the published deeds were
used, the first covering the period 1658
16?6| t'1" ether 1686-1697."
In both the former and the lntter
period the perrentneo of men who
iru.de their marks remained constant
at u per cent , while the proportion of
Illiteracy among the women decreased
from 58 per cent to it per cent.

"These data are exceedingly Inter?

"It must be torne In mind that
these data by no means offer a final

conditions either ns between the j
colonies or ns between the past and

probably stimulate further Investiga?
