WONDERFUL LESSON FROM
"THE SERVANT IN THE HoUs

THE SERVANT IN THE HOUSE,"
"What a wonderful lesson is being
taught by that still more wonderful
play at the Savoy" wrote the critic for
Club Life during the run of The Ser
want in the House" in New York.
Daring indeed is Mr. Kennedy. but
how true to life it ali is. God isn't
looking-let us give as little and grab
as much as we can just seems to fit
the average man, whether he be cler-
gyman or business man. And looking
over the well fed audiance that filled
the Savoy, l fancy 1t must have gone
as straight as an arrow to at least
one half of the men there. 1t was
however. a bit rough on the Bishop to
be exposed and before one of the
people too. 1t is as perfect perform
ance as one can ever nope to see; a
play that requires intelligent people
to interpret. 1t is life-real life-we
all live it, if we but stop to think bit.
How we walk over the body and bones
of our fellow-beings to gain for our
selves that we most desire but we dc
not stop to think. lest conscience creep
in and make us a bit uncomfortable
1.-THE performance alone is worth going
farther than the Savoy to see. This
lis about the finest bit Of character
work New York has seen--or may
lhope to see."

Public Servants.
opposition

France, long harassed by strikes
and other labor complications, has set
about to deal with public utility cor
porations in a frmer manner. In ad-
dressing itself to it's task, the French
government takes the view that pub
lie service companies have been in
stituted for the public good, not for
the benefit of those to whom they
have been confided."
The view is a sound oner-so sound,
in fact, that some public service cor
porations in the United States, them
selves, have come to accept it, not in
any spirit OF philanthropy, either. A
public service corporation. with head
quarters in Chicago, recently issued
a brochure in which it declared that,
not only did such corporations owe
their first obligation to the people,
but that every employe was, to an ex-
tent, a public servant and that the
better public servant he was, the bet
ter public service his employer was
able TO render
No other theory is tenable, since il
is directly from the people that such
companies derive their franchise right
to do business. Therefore, the princi-
Pile laid down in the French PROPOSE
ton. that the interruption of public
service is a crime" is entitled to seri-
GUS consideration. And it may be con-
sidered without reference, primarily
to which side is to blame for the in
terruption. Such a view emboldens
France to believe in the early solution
OF its serious labor difficulties.
France proposes in connection with
this construction of the law a compul-
sorry arbitration system for strikes II
is a question If It would not be essen
tial. for it might work one-sidedly to

RECoGNIzING THE 1NEvIrABLE.
Distribution of Authority in House of
Representatives.

New York Tribune
The Hon. Champ Clark surrendered
gracefully to the inevitable when he an
nounced that he would favor the creation
OF committee on committees or some
Other method OF dvexting the speaker Of
the house OF representatives Of the power
to make committee appointments. II is
doubtful whether Mr. Clark could have
seriously contemplated the retention under
democratic rule Of the one-man method of
house control which he denounced so vlgor-
ously when practiced under republican rule.
To succeed Mr.. Cannon and at the same
time surrender a large share OF political
perquisites which MIR. Cannon enjoyed
might seem a personal hardship, but Mr..
Clark is a good enough philosopher and
politician to realize that in abandoning the
overlordship which former speakers have
exercised he only yields what the voters
have clearly indicated that they desire no
future presiding officer OF the house OF
representatives to possess.
The house has already partly accustomed
itself to large measure OF self-govern-
ment. 1t has done better work under the
new system than It did under the old, and
no political leader or political party could
afford to attempt to reverse the hands OF
progress and go back to the absolutism
which fell at last OF its own dead weight
The senate gets along well enough naming
It's own committees and there is no reason
why the house should not be able to ap.
portion the committee chairmanships
Greater responsibility and less serviIity will
result from distribution Of authority. and
the leaders who recognize oonjointly the
power Of selection and promotion are much
more likely to deal fairly with the various
elements in the house membership than
one man, forced by tradition and the neces-
stiles Of his situation to parcel out the
best places on the committees largely as
personal rewards

Congressional Reapportionment.

The insecurity of party lines today
should make less difficult the task of
congressional reapportionment. A
great deal is being said about gerry
Wandering. but as a matter of fact
there is less to fear from its possibili-
ties than in former years when par
tisanship was recklessly INSCRIPTIONS.
The mere routine of a reapportionment
involves an immense amount of work,
so that the task could not we'll be
made easy, but it should be much more
simple now than heretofore.
So far as the matter of drawing
lines with reference to political COM
plexion goes, it cannot be done today
with any degree of certainty. Very
few districts may now be claimed as
exclusive territory by any party, ex-
cept, of course, in the south, where
the democrats carry nearly everything
by default and tradition. For these
reasons neither the democrats nor the
republicans can lay much stress on
which shall direct the work of reappor-
tionment. 1t matters little whether
the republican majority in the present
house or the democratic in the next
has the directing control 1t is a case
where the best laid plans may gang
aglee"
The present membership of the
house is $50. Under the conditions
OF the recent census some states are
bound to lose representatives unless
the maximum of 44O, possible under
the new population, is taken other
states. already with large representa-
ton, would gain; New York, for in
stance, would gain ten over it's present
number, giving 1t forty-seven mem
bers in the house. With some there
is an indisposition to bring the house
membership up to 440, for fear of
making the body too cumbersome and
unwieldy. The total membership may
be limited or reduced only by inoreas-
ing the ratio, which always encounters
opposition

Fruits Of Our Diplomacy.

Criticism OF the dollar diplomacy
pursued by Secretary Of State Knoz
/ has largely ceased. Congress recently
called for a statement to show what. II
anything, had been accomplished by
the annual expenditure of 100000
by the state department for the ad-
vancement Of our commercial interests
abroad and the statement was so mon
umental as to silence, promptly and
completely, all carping critics. Here
is the statement as submitted by AS
sistant Secretary Wilson.
Through tho efforts Of the state depart
ment we have secured for American ship
builders contracts for two large battleships
for the Argentine navy. which will bring
here S22,O0OoJO to go 10 American workmen
and Doe applied TO the purchase OF American
material. we also got contracts for rail-
way equipment Ia Argentine. amounting 10
s.. 1900 contracts for the building of two
ships for Cuba. to cost about 500 600; con-
tracts for furnishing armor and armament
for the Argentine navy, amounting to
81 10000; contracts for furnishing paper to
a large Latin-American newspaper
amounting to about $4,000 per annum; the
opening up OF the Hukuang loan agreement
In China so as to permit Americans to have
an equal share with the citizens Of foreign
governments in financing and supply ing
materials for q railroad in central China
to cost upward Of $4,000, 900; a contract for
the construction Of a railway in China. to
be financed with American capital and sup
piled in part with American material, to-
gether with harbor works and other indus
trial improvements in Manchuria, repre-
senting an investment Of about $40 600, 600
We are also assured of succeeding in con-
GLIDING a loan TO China Of S5OO0O.OOO, which
will greatly improve business conditions in
China and, therefore, aid American com
merce.
AS compared with these results the
little 100000 appropriation looks
like pocket change. And yet what the
policy of the department may accom-
plish after a few years no one can be-
gin to approximate. II is pretty good
evidence that Secretary Knox knew
what he was talking about when he
said the resources of the State depart
ment could be thus employed to ex-
tend our commercial interests and at
the same time cement old friendships
abroad and build up new ones.

DR.. Cooks Latest Ambition

1t seems almost ironical that DR..
Cook should return seeking the pardon
Of his fellow countrymen on the steam
ship George Washington. Thus he
comes back after a years absence, dur
ing which be has been execrated by
the public for what it conceived to be
gross abuse of its confidence, begging
to be rehabilitated in the esteem of his
countrymen. Men do not like to feel
the blight of social ostracism II is
more whitening than the rigors of a
Polar blast. which Cook endured with
comparative equanimity. Whether
his deception of the world was inten-
tional or not, it's penalties have
brought him to the common realiza-
ton Of what he has sacrificed.
DR.. Cook magnanimously tells us he
does not know what his future plans
will be. He says he will have a state
ment supporting his veracity about the
Mt Mckinley ascent ready later. That,
however, can have little important
effect now The best he can expect is
the charity of forgiveness, because no
amount of explaining or attempt at
proof from him would now convert
majority of Americans to his cause.
Some will, of course, never relinquish
their faith in him. Yet as time passes
people may come to agree with DR..
Cook that it is nearly, If not impossi-
BILE, for any man to be certain of reach
ing the pole.
In view of this DR.. Cooks refusal
to doubt Commander Peary's story of
his achievement commends him. In
all the heat and acrimony of the con-
troversy DR.. Cook never questioned
Peary's claim, though Peary flatly
denounced the DOCTORS. Where Cook
violently offended public opinion was
to rush precipitately to the bargain
counter to convert his exploits into
cash. 1t is difficult to get away from
this feature of the case in attempting
to mollify the feeling toward him

Democratic Harmony Pleas.

The bellwethers of the democratic
machine in Nebraska are just now
busily engaged in pleading with the
democratic members Of the legislature
for harmony on all matters of organi-
cation and program. The wet and dry
issue, on which there is a serious
division in party ranks, they are told,
should be relegated to the rear, and
the dry democrats, who are the Bryan
democrats, should be good and let the
vets rule the roost. All the drys are
entitled to is assurance that they will
personally be treated fairly and be al
lowed to vote Sc tAs vets demand /;
that the speakership Invested of the
power to appoint committees is of no
Importance, anyway, and should not be
permitted to become a bone OF conten-
ton.
All of which reminds US that fine
words butter no parsRips." The wet
democrats, who are the brewery demo
Gratis. doubtless wish they could make
the dry democrats, who are the Bryan
democrats, swallow these specious
arguments. If the harmony medicine
mixers really believed what they say
and put no store upon the speakership
they would let the dry democrats fur
nish the speaker-for example, Mr.,
Quackenbush, whose ability and fair
ness as a presiding officer could not be
questioned. But they will do nothing
of the kind The vets know that the
speaker, with or without the commit
tee appointments, is a valuable asset,
too valuable for them to disregard.
Party harmony demands that all the
democrats dwell in peace with one an
other, and to that end the Bryan dem
ocrats among the lawmakers, as did
the Bryan democrats at the Grand
Island convention, let the machine
bosses run the show and divide the pie.
