FULL INQUIRY INTO
ALL DEPARTMENTS

the President feels this Is a matter de-
mandinf, attention.
AS the apostle Of the square DEAL he
is not willing TO have Government en-
ployes seek preferment from the Gov
eminent on the one hard and then on
the other find that they fail 10 give
the loyal service which must be expect
ed from them. He takes the view that
capable and worthy clerks in the de-
partments here ana that 1t is due them
that they are looked out for. II any
unworthy ones are found, the latter
must not be permitted to stand In the
way Of promotions for the best class
of workers. This basis Of action Is sure
to draw the approval OF the clerks IN
all the Government departments and
make the Presidents order the ultimate
source Of good to the general machinery
of the Government.

especially since the beginning OF the

TT is safe to say that the Govern

At the Cabinet meeting held this morn

ulated by his advisers on the great
progress made in the peace negotiations.

The important part taken by The
Times IN bringing to q successful issue
the movement to make easier the dis
barment of dishonest attorneys in
Washington is evidenced by the follow
ing commendatory expressions of mem
bers OF the bar:
Bar Needed PuTging.
Wilton ]. Lambert-To my mind Ths
Washington Times cannot be too hign-
ly commended for It's able articles and
editorials on the situation within the
Washington bar. For many years the
Bar Association has been struggling
with a most difficult situation. and has
long needed pnrSing.
Heretofore the way has been hedged
aSol,tt- with barriers. A case must first
hare been brought before the grievance
committee of the association, and thence
taken tG the District Attorneys office.
And here you will find that many have
been lost simply in the rush Of business.
l doubt If more than one actual dis
barment has taken place in the last two
generations or more-not since the Sur
rat case. At the present time you see
the anam OiouS situation of a man dis
barred before the Court Of Appeals, and
yet practicing before the District SUI
preme Court.
I myself have two cases now-in one
settlement or a case for his client and
retained the money, and in another,
where an attorney recovered 81. 80 for
an infant whose father was killed on the
one-ttird which legally went to the
child's guardian, its mother l venture
to say that If either of these men knew
that hat such zen. dishonesty on their part
would have been saved for those to
whom it belongs
Success Due to The Times.
Charles F. Diges-I wish to offer my
hearty congratulations to The Times
upon the success of the movement,
which this enterprising paper inaugu-
rated, having for its object the interest
of the local bar by providing for the
summary diSbarment Of all these who
are unmindful Of their professional obi
cations.
Practical Fruit Borne.
John Laskey-Anything which tends to
the uplifting OF the bar is to be desired.
and I am sure that The Washington
Times deserves much credit for its active
and forceful participation in the discus
sion which has just now borne practical
fruit
Stand for Principal
Greed NJ. Fulton-I think it abso-
lutely necessary for US to bring men
who are guilty, practically. of malfeas-
ance IN office. before the court for dis
barment-and the formulating Of this
new rule by the bench makes such &C
ton much simpler. 1t gives the assrieved
member OF the bar an opportunity to
act freely and quickly, and makes the
attainment of his end almost assured
If his complaint Is founded on fact
The Times Is certainly to be looked
upon with gratitude by every upright
practitioner In the courts Of the Capital

in the formulation of the present prac-
teal plan.
Brought Results.
F. l. Siddans-The rules as amended
yesterday by the court provide the
means, and the committee appointed is
an able one 1 am sure that the whole
bar Will be benefited
The Times is to be thanked for the
stand it has taken and which / ven
ture to say, brought about a result which
would otherwise have long been de-
ferred-

Ihere Is some basis for believing that
one member Of the Cabinet has already
expressed his displeasure over the
searching methods EMPLOYED by the new
commission. He has been satisfied with
the results attained by the force un-
der him, and to discover that a group
of younger officials may not entirely

From the broader viewpoint of the
President little resentment OF this
sort must be overlooked at first, as only
natural. But 1t does not alter the facts

least from giving the commission all
the power needed TO make a clean in

Is regarded as commencing 1t strongly

confidence In Its work. 1t has no chest

all not to come"
Aunt Jane Hamilton's Thanksgiving
dinner had been the wonder Of Phil
ipsburg for many a year. She was a
widow whose husband had paid the
penalty Of his devotion to his country
at Gettysburg. Before his marriage
John Hamilton had built big, roomy
home for his bride about. half q
mile from Philipsburg, and that was
all that was left her when the bullet
ended his life. Here she had lived
ever since, eking out living from
the poultry she raised, and the small
pension paid her quarterly by the gov
ernment.
Aunt Jane had never been blessed
with children, but both herself AMI
John had been members Of large fam
lilies. It was to all of these brothers
and sisters, and to their families, that
Aunt James invitations to Thanksgtv-
ing dinner went each year.. Annually
they came trooping into Philipsburg
for the family reunion and feast; fill
ing the big house from cellar to gar
ret, and overflowing to the village hos
telry. So it was that these thanks
giving dinners were looked forward
TO, not by Aunt Jane alone, but by
the whole village Of Philipsburg.
As Aunt Jane sat at her dining-room
table preparing the % letters that
were to stop the coming Of the rela-
tives, Matilda Crawford was passing
from house to house telling of the
death of the last turkey, and Of the
blighting of Aunt James pleasures.
The next days mail took away the
28 scrrowful little notes, all reading
7ery much alike, and all telling the rea-
son for the canceling Of the annual din
ner.
Thanksgiving day was but one week
of when those notes; were mailed, and
on that same evening half dozen
of the worthy matrons of the village
were talking the situation over at
Matilda Crawford's home.

after the arrival of each of the two

And it was not until Wednesday

what the deluge Of turkeys really

"To eat Thanksgiving dinner with

Then explanations were in order,

And Mary did help, and so did the
children, and so did others who came
in on the afternoon train, and when
the turkeys were placed on the long
dining-room table the next day there
were gathered around the table the
largest number of Aunt James reia-
tives the old home had seen in many

doubling His wisdom In taking away
my turkeys, I'll never doubt Him
again." said Aunt Jane at the dinner
table, "for I never had so much to he

others happy by sending Thanksgiving

The result of that little gathering
was that the next day six prime tur-
keys were delivered at Aunt James
door by six different boys coming from
six different families.
"Whatever will l do now!" cried
Aunt Jane, as the sixth turkey was
deposited at her back door. IF l only
hadn't sent out those letters yesterday.
I could have my dinner Just the
