This w holesale nepotism in the de

which nobody imagined uiitil tlie
commission unearthed the facts, will
be the subject of legislation of a rad
ical and stringent character.
There is a very strong sentiment
in this country against a civil pen
sion list. Yet the commission finds
what amounts to the same thing pre
vailing on a largo scale in the de
partments. Men and women who
have outlived their usefulness are
Ikmiijj curried ummi the pay rolls Ik1
cuuse their sticriors an1 too sympa
thetic to dismiss them. They do
next to nothing. Then is one s-r-son

The great defect In tlie government
civil service is that then1 is no limit
of age or service. There Is no way
of getting in fresh blood. There Is
much truth in the old saying, that
government officials seldom die ami
never resign.
One jierson now in office at Wash

are many indications that the demo

troublesome question hy the device
suggested by Wade lliinpton. of
course no commission is needed for
the purpose indiiivtisl, for the treas

i )f course, it Is not easy to change

hint to all w ho are building to suit
themselves, not to have a clonet in
the house at least not without a
window. Physicians condemn all
dark closets as haunts of vitiatiil air.
Were I building, there would not le
a closet in the house unless it were
large enough to have a sash window.
Have a trunk room and an airy

mother can sit nnd mend and sort
her sheets and tablecloths in sun

Instead, all bed-rooms should have
large pine or mlar wardrobes, with
double doors to ojs'ii the whole front
Thest! can ln made at the time of
building much cheaier than closets
can ls Uiill into the walls, and they
remain movable, always sweet and
every way convenient. Added to
this, dollies are better kept from
dust and insects in them. They can
be built quite as large as closets, with
