CARE FOR THE BEGdARS

New York recently has had city
wide "clean-up" of the beggars on
it's streets. These beggars grew so
Ubiquitous and so persistent that
they became constant annoyance,
especially to strangers. Sometimes
they went so far as to assault those
who did not heed their plaintive
pleas.
The announcement of Major Pull
man, Superintendent of Police, be-
fore the Monday Evening Club last
evening, that steps are to be taken
20 remove the beggars from Wash
'ngton streets is good news. The
!ripples who ply their trade (for
heir begging has reached that
stage) long have been a disgrace to
he streets of the Capital. Blind
oeggars have been removed because
here is home where they are pro-
"ided for. But as yet there is no
Institutional provision for the Grip
pied beggars, and they infest the
streets. 1t was surprising to learn
that a recent police survey showed
that there are but thirteen of these
mendicants. But thirteen is too
many.
Officials here have not followed
the unsatisfactory method pursued
in other cities of throwing these mer
jail. That does not help them, and
only shifts the burden from volun.

But it is to be hoped that some in.

CIVIL SERVICE PENSIONS

In its annual report the United
States Civil Service Commission
places the whole question of retire
ment pensions for aged Government
employees on the basis of common
sense and good business, where it
belongs. Pensions for superannu-
ated workers are regarded by the
commission as necessary step to-
ward increasing the efficiency of the
service.
The efficiency Of such a step not
only would extend through the
period when the present large num-
Der of aged employees, who are
hanging on in the hope of such re-
tirement, are replaced by younger
men. But it would make for higlJl
tone in the service, by removing
from the minds of employees those
worries and vexations that make for
constant inefficiency.
The Government has not raised the
wages of its civil employees since be.
fore the civil war. In the meantime
its mechanical workers, and many OF
It's administrative heads, have had
Chcir salaries increased. During that
time the cost of living has increased
and the requirements for various po.
sitions have been raised considera.
bly,. Upon its own statement the
Civil Service Commission now is get.
ting more work out of fewer men.
The pension system has beer
adopted by private corporations, as
n matter of good business, and the
Government can well afford to fol
low the example of progressive
business men in private life.

THE BALTIMORE "REVELA-
TIONS"

1t is not hard to imagine that
staid old Baltimore is suffering a bit
today from shock. The "vice COM
mission" that was sent out three
years ago with rowing commission
to learn whether Baltimore's morals
were what they ought to be, has sent
to Governor Goldsborough a report
that is calculated to make almost
any town sit up and take notice. We
don't recollect the precise minimum
of desirable citizens whom Sodom
was required to bring forward as
hostages in order to ward off the un-
pleasant consequences of that old
towns gayety; but Baltimore, if :!
should take too seriously the present
vice report, might well wonder if il
could do, in similar circumstances
any better than Sodom did.

fessed that we have always enter.

THE GARY ROOSEVELT DINNER

The newspapers of the country are
attaching great significance to the
Gary dinner the other night to
Colonel Roosevelt, and it may well
be that they are right. At all events,
the dinner has taken on special
public interest from the way all in
formation concerning it has been
padlocked.
When dinner in gentleman 8
home is purely social it is none of
the public's business who the guests
are or what they talked about.
But dinner given for the obvious
purpose of bringing Colonel Roose-
welt and the big men in the financial
and business world together at this
particular time Of fog-bound politics
carries on the face of it great public
interest, and as such naturally con-
Germs the public.
Colonel Roosevelt is too big a
figure and too great a force in the
political world to do anything un-
usual without attracting widespread
interest.
Judge Gary is usually most gra.
cious with the newspapers and quite
ready to talk to reporters to the ex.
tent that he thinks it good for them
But this time, and for reasons of his
own, his lips have been sealed re.
garding his dinner to Colonel Ro6se
velt and his other guests.
George Perkins. too, is a free
talker and coddler of newspapers
but secrecy with regard to this Gary
dinner possesses his soul. And every
one alike came away from that din.
ner as if sworn to secrecy. Indeed
it is not yet known conclusively by
the newspapers who made up the en-.
tire list of guests. That in the mair
they were men of big affairs anc
bankers Of much substance is known
With so significant a meeting sc
shrouded in mystery and with the
eternal hush fixed upon it, the un,
derlying purpose of the dinner is &
matter of speculation, and it is hav
ing a-plenty Of speculation.
That the dinner had to do with Tho
Republican Presidential nomination
for 1916 is the guess of The Times.

TWO KINDS OF PREPAREDNESS

The majority leadership of the
House of Representatives, seconded
in the Senate, has demonstrated its
power to provide some of the reve-
nues which in the immediate future
will be necessary to meet the
emergency expenditures of the Gov
ernment.
Now has it or can it beg, borrow
or steal the Capacity to provide a
practical and effective preparedness
first against military aggression
should any power want to attack us
with fleets and armies. and, secondly
against industrial invasion, which
as soon as the war in Europe ends
every country in the Old World will
aim at US with all the economic force
at it's command?
On neither of these propositions is
the most cheerful optimist likely ia
put down bet without shivery
sensation running all the length OF
his spine.
The Washington times., 1915-12-21

rather TO shock the sensibilities of
good people. and to appeal to every
morbid instinct of both the good and
the bad. 1t is not a good thing to
make every woman suspect that her
husband may be a monster; every
parent fear that his children may
have become depraved; every hus-
band wonder if his wife is what he
has believed her to be.
Baltimore is like any other town; /;
not any too good, but very much
more good than bad. The prurient
mind that exaggerates occasional
manifestations of vice into the pro-
portions that this report suggests as
to Baltimore, is doing more damage
than it possibly can do good.
