A Line o' Cheer Each Day o' the Year.
By JOHN KENDRICK BANGS.
Strut printin~g of an original poem. writtsa dailly
for The Washinr.oa Herald.
HOLD FAST TO YOUM
As ancient hoary-headed Time
From out the chill of wintry rime
Renews his youth each new-born Spring,
And from his heart old age doth fling,
And frisks about as full of cheer
As tho' his years were but veneer,
So too may we cast off our stress,
And don the garb of Youthfulness,
And do our own respective parts
To hold the Spring-tide in our hearts.

is that of the pablie b ih,f the ont of

which it is represented will be added to the operat
ng expenses of the roads. Por it' is generally
:onceded, by all but the confirmed railroad baiters,
hat the roads cannot be operated profitably under
my additional burdens. The public therefore
should be keenly interested in the arguments and
tatistics presented on either side of the con
roversy.
While it is generally known that railway em
loyes are among the best paid of American
wage-earners a statement concerning wages, just
ssued by the Baltimore and Ohio. Railroad Com.
>any, will doubtless surprise the majority of those
who read it. Figures tacen from its pay roll for
he month of October, 195, representing the
wages received by the five highest paid employes
n the different classes of service on the Balti
nore division, show that five locomotive engi
leers in passenger service earned from $239.50 to
;201.5o for the month; freight engineers from
2t3.8o to $187.65; yard engineers from $165.45 to
;147.50; passenger conductors from $179.05 to
;r70.90; freight conductors from $174.50 to $150.30;
and yard conductors from $137.15 to $130. This
:xample of the compensation commanded by the
nost efficient servants of one road can no doubt
>e equalled or excelled by most of the other lines
is is indicated by figures taken from the annual
cport of the Interstate Commerce Commission
or 1914, the last year for which statistics are
available. These show that the average yearly
ay of the 309,000 employes of railroads who are
tow demanding increases was $1,253.37, while the
average pay of the 1,381,ooo other employes not
isking an increase was $684.78. The average year.
y earnings of engineers was $1,771.80; firemen,
1r.037.49; conductors, $1,533.62, and other train
nen, $1,023.26. The average of all wage-earners
n the United States, according to government
-eports, is $55o a year.
It will not be denied that the duties of railroad
miploycs, the trainmen especially, are exacting
and less conducive to health and happiness than
he work required of many other classes of wage
arners; but it is quite evident that these condi
ions have been considered in the adjustment of
heir compensation. It may be asserted that any
lumber of artisans or even clerks would gladly
hange places with the railroad men and endure
ill their discomforts in consideration of the
ligher wages, but that would be beside the ques
ion. The broad question involved in their de
nands for increased wages is whether the service
hey render the public is worth more than the
:helic is now paying them. Of every dollar
).id by the people for railroad transportation 63
ents. it is estinated, goes to labor, and the
-ilroads are positive in their contention that if
he employes are to receive more, then more dol
ar, moust be added to their revenues.
Incidentally the lawmakers who are insesti
,ating the subject of compensation paid by the
oscrnient to the employes in its Civil Service
nax well take herd of the steady advance in rail
oad wages that, keeping pace with the rising
ost of living, has carried them to the present
tandard, while salaries of workers for the gov
ninment have renfained stationary for thirty years
r more. The clerks can scarcely contemplate
without envy the scale of wages of the rathu.,d
nen, who now are demanding more.
Booming the Government's Business.
That a thing is not good because it has not
>een done before is a theory which the Wash
ngton City Postoffice, most progressive of all
tovernment institutions, scornfully rejects. Last
rear it made the citizens, accustomed only to
ime-honored governmental customs and routine,
it up and rub their eyes with the placarded
LdmonitiOn to "shop and mail early for Christ
nas;" and now the sight of Uncle Sam's motor
nail cars scurrying about the city with the
mperative command, "Save Time; Get a Mail
Box," flaring from their sides affords another
mall sensation. And why not? It will save no
.rd of time in the course of a year if every
iousehold upon which the postman makes fre
lucnt calls equips itself with a rnail box, so that
ic need not wait and may make big deliveries
'ven when there is "nobody home." Besides, it
v'ill be a good thing for the mtakers of mail boxes.
Aind how are the people going to know that
he government wants them to get miail boxes
fthe government doesn't tell themt so?
And why should progress in the government
eivice be limited to the WVashington Postoffice?
We don't believe that it will be, and arc daily

"Our submarines," Lieut. Singule, "like
those -of the Germans,, we achieved wonderful
success. You have asked me if the torpedo is a
sure, unfailing instrument that always reaches
the spot at wich it has been aimed, It is be
cause of that question that .1 reply that every
thing depends on luck-luck on every side and
at every turn. However perfect the torpedo
may be, the alightest mishap brings failure. A
drop of olit i c te mechanism ,may be the cause s
of delaying the launching of the projectile, and
this loss of time may bring failure."
When asked regarding some of his own per
soqal experiences and exploits, Lieut. Singule t
said:
"We were out recently for a whole month
and never even got a glimpse of the enemy.
Finally we met a cruiser of the type of the
Liverpool, and with a great deal of enthusiasm
we prepared to torpedo the ship. hut our joy
was soon dispelled when we siiscovered that the t
cruiser was being convoyed from the Drina Gull t
to Brindisi by a flotilla of torpedo boat destroyers. t
Our presence was discovered by them and they
chased us until night came.
"However, our big day was when we sank
the proud Giuseppe Garibaldi. It was the purpose t
of the Italians to bombard Gravossa, and the g
Italian fleet was nearing our coast. At that t
time one of our general staff said to me: 'If one
of our U-boats should at this time chance to
be in that vicinity I think we would see some
thing big happen.
"I immediately went to work to carry out
his wish. I soon sighted the Giuseppe Garibaldi a
and at a distance of 6oo meters fired two tor- r
pedoes. Both hit the mark and hundreds of her
crew went to their death. The torpedo boat de
stroyers which accompanied the Garibaldi I was,
of course, unable to follow, and they eluded me. s
When our submarine came to the surface and I
looked through the periscope the water was dotted
with wreckage.
"You ask me about the crew. Every man
among them is efficient. The men make every
sacrifice and they are deserving of all praise. It
must not be forgotten that the work of a sub- r
marine crew is the most dangerous in the service, i
and the safety of the men lies entirely in the
hands of their commander. They themselves see
nothing and know nothing of what is going on.
Their duty is to obey orders.
"They are four hours on duty, followed by an
hour's rest, but often they have to do without r
the rest. And, of course, when we are out for a
some length of time it means much inconvenience r
and discomfort. There is no means of observing I
cleanliness or changing clothes, and we have to
snatch a bite to eat whenever we can. We hale
no cook. One of the crew prepares the meals
and we have to be content with what he serves
to us. Our work is dangerous, but if attend-d
with success we forget all about the sacrifices and
the hardships."-New York Herald.
The Right Kind of Inmigrants.
Granting the effectiveness of the Burnett bill
as a measure of restriction, it does not follow
that it will achieve the ends which alone can -
justify a restrictive policy. W4e do not want in
ferior peoples added to our stock; we already I
have enough of the stupid and inefficient. But
the illiteracy of the minor Slavic races offers not
the slightest proof of congenital inferiority. It
implies poverty and oppression, but nothing could
he more absurd than to make a disgrace out of
these misfortunes. \X e do not want the un
assimilable. But those stocks that are ground
down by alien oppressin. held in hopeless poverty
and ignorance, are not the ones that will longest
cherish loyalty to their countries of origin. It
is the English, Germans and French. not the
Slovaks. Ruthenians and Lithuanians, who remain
attached to their home land into the third gene- t
ration.
We do not want our labor market mniped
by a huge influx of competitive labor. But thei
intnigrants from the lesser Slavic nations are not I
as a rule competitors of the native-born Anieri
cans. They flow to the construction and mining z
camps and perform the rough labor that must t
be got out of the way before opportunities emerge
for the American horn to make comfortable liv
ings. We can easily have too tnuch of this kind e
of labor, as we can have too little of it. We can .
have too much of it in one part of the country 1
and too little in another. And this points to the r
chief defect of the Burnett bill. It aims to re- e
strict immigration, when there is very little reason I
for believing that restriction as a permanent policy
is desirable. It makes no attempt whltatei er to
regulate immigration according to the general t
economic condition of the country or to dis
tribute it according to local needs.-The New
Republic.

Death Toll of the Industries. F
"The United States," says Arthur Williams, R
president of the American Museum of Safety, "is It
continually waging a bloody war within its own t
borders, a war in which the casualties amount to t
35,ooo lives each year and in which the total
number of wounded annually is r,;0o,o00. It
sounds more like the returns from the battlefields
of Europe, but in reality it is the number of
workers killed and injured every year in our
American industries.
"In a sense it is not unlike a great struggle
in which men are constantly attacking massive C
steel machinery, vast destructive forces harnessed
by science and huge grinding wheels speeded to
the utmost. It is appalling when we stop to con
sider 35,000 wiped out every year in times of v
peace. This would constitute an entire division i
of the army, or, in other words, the whole Na
tional Guard of New York State with cxsry unitt
recruited to war strength.
"In two years it would more thant equal alla
of the Union soldiers killed in battle dutring the I
civil war. The number of workmen injured an
nually, i,590,9oo, is still more appalling, for this
nutmbe- of cripples, if left whole and sounid, would
constitute a force sufficient to render tihe United
States free from invasion from any nation in ~
the world.
