Equal Pay for Equal Work.

Some of the emplOye opposition to the
salary Standardization which the Budget
Committee is trying to enforce ought to be
removed by Mayor Mitchel's insistence that
it must include raising of salaries, when
proper, as well as cutting overgrow ones
That, of course, is what salary standard
izaton contemplates; but it isn't what
some department heads have undertaken
to do. Their mistake. at the Mayors di-
rection, will be rectifed
This city needs badly revision of the
payrols 1t needs the elimination of
some of the jobs, created for politicians
and assigned by political favor. 1t needs
TO have some of the inflated salaries de-
1ated to point where the pay is com
mensurate with the work done. But 1t
cannot afford, in justice and decency, to
have honest and able employees doing
york of a grade capable of being stand
ardized" with the work of other depart
ments paid less than the standard rate
If there is anything of merit in this sal
airy Standardization, it is the fair and
honest application of the equal pay for
equal work. principle. That inevitably
means dwelling up salaries as well as lev
cling them down. On such a basis only
those can protest who find themselves
deemed unworthy of the salaries they
nov draw; and for them there is not like
ly to be great sympathy.

Unrefined Methods.

Sir: No better comment could be made
upon the striking portraits on your front

the other Of the suffrage leader-than that

how refined people begin by being If they
stoop to win by unrehned methods by ex-
plotting young girls in startling costumes in

Why England Should Be Saved.

Since the war began we have heard a
great deal about fiery manifestoes and
declarations by Eucken. Haeckel and other
venerable professors, poetical explosions
such as that Of the ingenious author OF
the Hymn Of Hate, and many similar et-
forts. ali plainly symptomatic OF Ger
many's deep and undying luminosity tow
ard Great Britain. What we hear
less Of because it is not openly avowed, is
the profound reverence of the Germans
for British Intellectual power and for that
dominating spirit which has somehow
subdued and made a fool of half the
world.
From the very beginning it was clear
that the Germans had an extraordinarily
high opinion Of British intelligence. This
was tacitly admitted in the official proofs
that France and Russia had both been out
witted and talked into fighting Englands
battles. But as the war has advanced
Germany's admiration has increased so
steadily that there is great danger az
present that the whole nation may fall
into a state of chronic and incurable
Anglomania.
At first not a few Germans were In
cined TO attribute England's power en-
tirely to the Machiavellian ingenuity Of a
single statesman known to them as Sir
Grey But they are no longer satisfied
that Sir Grey is the moving spirit There
is something in the composition of the
whole nation that reduces all others to its
will and compels them to obey lis orders
Not only the French. the Belgians, the
Russians and the Italians, but the Ind
ians, Australians, South Africans, Ca.
nadians. nay, even the neutral nations, are
entirely under the control of the great
world-hypnotist.
The Hamburger Nachrichten' cannot
be accused Of loving the English, but its
sneaking admiration for their amazing in
tellectual force crops out in spite Of it. In
one of It's latest outbursts it speaks almost
with pity Of England's "contemptibly stu
pid allies who are shedding their blood
"for her sake" In the same spirit il
commiserates "the deceived colonies who
are TO fight England's battles" and eX.
presses great regret for "other deludeC
peoples" who though not fighting them
selves are so dominated by the evil ey,
that they cannot see that Germany mus
be in the right
Mark, however. that the English them
selves are not for a moment deceived
The Irish, the Scots, the men of the colo
MES and dominions, all of Britain's allie.
and even Americans, have been complete
ly hoodwinked for year, But the Eng
lishman. by virtue Of his superior intel
gence, remains unmoved and merely cor
trolls the rest. The "Koelnische Zeitung
makes this clear, observing that the ma
-. ton lis not prepared for any great sac
ffHoes," that mo citizen is helping IN
state Of his own free will" and that 9TH
masses Of the people are standing aloo
more than ever" This shows that tn
condition is not determined merely by tn
power Of Sir Grey or any other man, fol
if il were he could doubtless control IN,
English people with the rest.
II is apparent then, that there is som,
peculiar quality in the genius Of the Eng
lish people that enables them 10 reduce
others to 70 condition Of servitude. A.
