GOVERNMENTAL RED TAPE.

When Theodore Shonts. following she
example of John F. Wallace, resigned
the presidency OF the Panama canal
commission in order to accept better
position with a private corporation. he
was quoted as saying there was SO
much red tape about government meth
eds that it took him weeks to I'll a
requisition for a lead pencil AIR
Shonts has since denied making any
such statement, but those who are ia
miliar with the system say II Mr..
Shonts had been quoted correctly he
would have been well within the
bounds of truth.
A story that is vouched for by a
high authority comes from the Pensa-
cola navy yard. 1t appears that the
yard ran out OF needles and desired 2
new paper of them. The proper officer
at once drew up a requisition on the
Brooklyn navy yard, the base of sup
ply. II was up to the man in charge of
this department at the Brooklyn yard
TO draw up a requisition in quadrupli-
cate and forward Il to the bureau OF
yards and docks and the bureau of sup
plies and accounts at Washington In
due season the requisition was ap-
proved and a man was sent out from
the Brooklyn yard to buy the needles.
He visited several houses and the
lowest bid was 3 cents, which was &C
cepted. A week or so later the nee
dies were delivered to the Brooklyn
yard and then forwarded TO the Pensa-
cola people The report runs that be-
fore they can be put into service each
needle will have to be gone over by
an inspector. who must certify that it
is fit FOR use. In the meanwhile the
man who wanted the needles in the
first place has probably long since lost
% thence. unless he is an unusually
patient man, and bought the needles
out OF his own private funds Most Of
us would. anyway.
There are doubtless some exaggera-
tons in the story. but il serves To give
an idea OF the nuRberless balls of red
tape that are unwound yearly by the
government departments. Your Uncle
Samuel apparently proceeds on the
theory that every employe viii be dis
honest II he is given half chance.
Therefore there must be detailed
record OF every cent expended for any
purpose and the disposition of the ar
ticIe purchased with the money. The
system is expensive and it entails 4 lot
OF unnecessary work. AT the same
time though. il gives 10 the faithful
henchmen of the politicians some nice
easy jobs that they would not other

OF money. you know.

WHO MAKES THE ISSUE?

FOreshadowing the action OF the city
administration, the Tribune charges
The Herald with making political IS
sue Of the demand for Judge Browns
resignation from the juvenile court.
The charge would be unimportant. if
true but as it happens this paDer is
anxious only to prevent the juvenile
court from becoming political issue.
our chief objection to the campaign
against the court and the judge lies
il the fact that politicians. not the
people, are behind the attempt to dis
credit the judge and his work
II political issue happens to result
from the attitude of the city admins
tration toward the judge it will be due
entirely to Mayor Thompson and Chief
Of Police Sheets. who arc a majority
Of the Juvenile court commission. They
know as well as anybody the value Of
the court and the power the Judge has
over the boys who have come before
him. They have seen hundreds of boys
pass through that court and know the
result has been for the great good of
the community. They have supported
him and encouraged him until now.
suddenly. in a court decision on a sin
gle bows case. they see an opportunity
To defeat the plan for a police commits
sion by discrediting Judge Brown apd
denying the power OF the commission
under the law.
The fate OF Judge Brown as an OH
cial is Of minor Importance the fate Of
the boys of the community who need
his guidance. his unusual power over
them. is one of the most important
questions the community has ever had
to consider. If the politicians wish to
make an issue OF the question. they
have II in their power to do so. and
apparently mean to exercise that
power; but they ought to know in adj
vance that behind the court and the
man who has made IL a splendid life
saving, soul-saving Influence In the
community is every man, woman and
child who has seen the workings OF the
court and know its value 10 the city.
The bitterest enemies or this city ad-
ministration could not wish it to make
more stupid biunder than to drag the
Juvenile court into politics and make
an issue of it for the next city election.

FORAKER TO DIVIDE PARTY.
Taft and His Rival Both May Be
Eliminated.

Washington, D. c., Dec 1.-senator
Foraker's declaration of unrelenting
war on Secretary Taft in Ohio and
announcement of his candidacy for
the presidency constituted the main
subject of discussion in all quarters
here yesterday. There was much
talk as to it's probable effect
1t was generally agreed it would
mean the elimination both of Taft
and Foraker as presidential factors,
that it would result in divided dele
cation, that it would perhaps resnit
in the state going democratic next
year and altogether would make il
impracticable for the republican ma
tional convention to pick its candi-
date from Ohio. Friends of other
presidential candidate were not
a little delighted at the develop
ments, as they considered it final
blow at Secretary Tafts boom.
