FOR THE SAKE OF THE MANY.

The action of Pension Commissioner
Tanner in the case of his secretary
who was apparently not up to the wlles
OF one type of woman was just what It
should be, as was certainly his action
regarding the woman involved. This
particular case is, however, an insignif-
cant one; it is not sensational. Itserves
merely as a text for other comment.
Among the hundreds of women en-
ployed in the Departments are a few
who should go and go at once. They are
but one sort of blackmailers. They
seek to obtain a hold ON officials and
utilize this leverage when they secure 1t
TO retain place or to attain promotion.
Their modus-o operandi Is simple They
seek an intimacy with officials. They
induce them, If possible, to make calls.
They compromise them. They en-.
deavor to attain their ends by solicita-
ton; that failing, they sometimes resort
10 threats
II is doubtful If anywhere in the
country obtains higher average OF
virtue and good sense than exists among
the women engaged in the Departments.
They are ordinarily of good family, are
earnest, quiet, attentive to duty and
especially careful of avoiding even the
appearance of evil. They know that
because of a false idea which is q
heritage Of the days Immediately sue
ceeding the. war--they must conduct
themselves with even more discretion
and reserve than other women, and
they act accordingly. 1t is because of
this, because of the protection which
should be afforded these good women,
that Che course pursued toward the few
bad ones should be summary and
severe.
II is not difficult to locate the adven-
turesses, of whom reputable women
complain, and who are as much dan
ger to officials as of reflected disrepute
TO their associates in labor. Some of
them, emboldened by the success OF
their particular line of effort, have be-
come little less than notorious, and they
can be named readily enough in the De.
partments where they are employed.
They have made record for them
selves.
There is certainly no occasion fol
showing mercy toward woman who
seeks TO utilize her personal charms ol
personal magnetism to involve an Off
cial 10 such an extent that, Willingly
OF unwillingly, he will be in her power
Just few-a very few-women should
