lision. 1t Is at these moments that the
crowd feels repaid for the rather mo-
notonous grind. OF the race itself only q
few can see much. Save at the finish line
there is nothing to be observed but the
occasional roaring passage of q con-
testant, perhaps followed in close sue
cession by competitor striving to gain
an advantage. For q majority of the on
lockers the contest is a succession OF
deafening sounds and dizzying whirls of
dust-enveloped machines.
These contests do not benefit the auto
mobile industry sufficiently to repay for
the frequent losses of life and the heavy
drain upon the public nervous force. Most
OF the manufacturers recognize that in
the selling of cars the public favor is
not won by what some daredevil of a
driver has been able to do in circum-
stances of good fortune on dish-shaped
track or a pre-empted piece or country
road with dangerous turns and grades in
frenzied demonstration of speed. The
car that the average man selects for his
own use is not necessarily Of the make
that has been used in one of these races
successfully Motor makers are now in
clined to disapprove. of the sporting
events that formerly they encouraged
and subsidized. 1t is understood that
these affairs are mere money-mak
ing entertainments. with the public tempt
ed to attend by the promise of excitement
and possibly the spectacle Of tragic mis-
haps.

Washington Asylum Hospital.

Conditions at the Washington Asylum
Hospital. which are being described in
the course of testimony before a House
subcommittee, have been characterized
as a disgrace to the District. The exist
ence of evils to be corrected in the treat
ment of the inmates of the hospital has
been generally recognized. Instead, how
ever, of disclosing something scandalous
and disgraceful as far as the District is
concerned this testimony points to a fail
ure on the part of the local legislature to
provide adequately in response to repeated
appeals for the needs of the community In
the care Of the INDECENT SICK. Local of
ficals have been calling attention to the
need OF larger institution under more
satisfactory regulations and with a more
liberal appropriation.
The District hopes that as a result of
th.. presentation of the facts regarding
this institution early provision will be
made for the establishment of a municipal
hospital; or. If Congress Is not willing at
this time 10 authorize the establishment
of such a hospital. the immediate i'm
PROV cement of appropriation conditions as
TO the Washington Asylum Hospital. In
any case. whether A municipal hospital is
established or not. there should be an en-
largement OF the quarters at the Asylum
Hospital and a material increase In the
appropriation for It's maintenance. Only
by such means will it be possible to cor
rect the abuses and evil conditions which
there prevail, to minimize the suffering
OF patients. 10 lessen the danger of con-
tagion and TO restore confidence In the
efficiency of the institution

Furious Motor Speed.

A five-hundred-m mile automobile race
occurred Thursday at Indianapolis on
two-and a half mile track, the winner
making the entire distance in s hours, u
minutes and seconds, an average Of
rs II miles an hour. the fastest time ever
made for the distance in the history of
motors. and perhaps the fastest 500
miles ever Travelled by a man. But this
was not the most remarkable feature of
the race. The fact that attracts most at
tention is that throughout the six hours
and half of furious speeding there were
no serious accidents. Before the race be-
gan bets were made that one or more OF
the participants would be killed. Indeed,
it is a fair presumption that in these con-
tests fatalities will occur. The specta-
tors are crowded close to the track. and
speed around turns where the slightest
detection is certain to cause a disaster.
In some of these races cars have been
hurled from the road among the people,
cutting them down by the dozen. The
nearest approach to a catastrophe yester-
day was the overturning Of one of the
cars. but by the best of good fortune
neither the driver nor the mechanician
was injured.
or sinister significance is the fact that
wagers were offered before the race that
death would result from the furious
speeding OF the cars. Probably many OF
the 100000 people who attended secret
ly hoped to witness such a tragedy. or
course. no one would ever express such a
desire frankly. but that 1t inspires the
presence of a certain number of the spec
tators at these races is not to be question
ed. The race itself is exciting in certain
phases. When efforts are made by one
or another of the contestants to forge to
the front there are brief bursts of thrill
ing speed and narrow escapes from col

The Limited Civil Service Tenure.

The Senate appropriations committee
has responded most satisfactorily to the
protests which were raised against the
terms of the legislative bill as passed by
the House. In respect to government en-
ployes 1t has eliminated from the bill all
those items which were directly aimed
at the tenure and status OF the govern
ment clerks. Rejecting the decidedly OBJ
jectionable five-year tenure clause which
the House has adopted, the Senate does
not absolutely turn it's back upon the
necessity for some measure of reform in
the civil service to insure a higher stand
ard Of efficiency 1t adopts provision
which should go far toward creating
system of efficiency ratings in the class!-
fed service based upon records of work
actually done and also providing stand
ards for promotion, demotion and dismiss
al. This is in the line of service i'm
provement, which The Star has urged re-
peatedly and which it holds to be essen
tial to any satisfactory administration Of
government affairs.
Those who oppose the limited tenure
of office project do not contend that when
person is once appointed to govern
ment position he should be guaranteed
that place permanently. He should only
be assured Of retention during good be-
havior and maintained efficiency. He
should at the same time be assured of
reasonable frequency of promotion in &C
cordance with his merits and his sup
posedly increasing experience and conse-
quent value to the service. Up to
certain point II is possible under present
conditions to promote clerk with
certain degree of frequency and regular
ity. but there Is no such assurance OF
systematic and regular advancement in
pay as that which is guaranteed under
the English plan of scheduled promotions
In the absence OF any method OF retiring
the elder employees the service is con-
stantly in a state of congestion. Even
without a systematic schedule of pro-
motions in salary such as the English
clerk Is guaranteed. the American public
service employee would. with a retirement
plan established, be assured of fairly
regular advancement through the vaca-
ton Of the higher places held by the
elder and more experienced clerks.
II is hardly to be believed that the
Senate can fail to secure the writing of
the new appropriation act in terms of its
committees present recommendations.
There has been no public Endorsement of
the House proposition Of limited civil
service term, and in the conference ad-
justment between the two houses there
will be an overwhelming array of argu-
ments in favor of the Senate amendments
as against the radical departure proposed
by the House.
