about panning the loop press when l
thought it was coming to any of
them, so l will try to be fair when one
of them attempts to be on the square
with it's readers. The Herald,
through Oscar Hewitt, is now telling
its readers some important truths
about that phone deal that for about
two years have reached the public
only through The Day Book.
Month after month the loop press
went along taking the phone COM
pany ads and money and forgetting
to tell it's readers what it was all
about. Finally, however, the labor
unions, the wOmen's organizations
and others who have been fighting for
the public interest forced publicity on
the matter. And now Oscar Hewitt
is telling Herald readers something
all of the papers should have told
their readers long ago.
By the way, l believe that if jim
Kelley would give Oscar Hewitt his
head and let him sail in on matters Of
vital public interest the public would
buy the Herald to read what Hewitt
has to tell them. Say, Jim, let Oscar
go to it.
In Tuesdays Herald Hewitt quoted
Pres. Sunny of the Chicago Tele-
phone Co. as saying that he DOES
NOT KNOW WHETHER THE PRO-
PERTY OF THE AUTOMATIC, FOR
WHICH THE BELL INTERESTS
HAVE AGREED TO PAY $6,3OO,OOO,
IS WORTH $1,OOO,OOO, $1,6OO,OOO or
$780,"
He also says Sunny presUmes that
the American company (the BeI)
would turn over the property to the
Chicago company "at a price, and
whatever that price was the Chicago
Telephone Co. would put it on its
books and would expect to capitalize

same general nature were filed at the
State Department, through the Ger
man embassy, amazement was ex-
pressed that such palpably himsy
testimony was offered in support OF
the charge that the Lusitania was
armed. Immediately a search was
made for Stahl. who was later
caught, virtually in fight from New
York city. The circumstances sug-
gest a plan to bring forward evil
dence in refutation of the American
governments assertion that the ship
was unarmed, at a critical juncture in
the diplomatic exchanges on the sub
iect of her destruction. If it can be
learned from Stahl who inspired or
procured his affidavit light will be
thrown on the question of responsl-
bility for the futile effort to embar-
rass the United States in its negotla-
tions with Germany to obtain re-
dress for the sinking Of the Luslta-
MIA. with the destruction of more
than 100 American lives. The De-
partment of Justice will doubtless
pursue this inquiry vigorously. to
bring to punishment those who con-
cocted the scheme.

Gossip About Mr.. Bryan.

For almost twenty years a SHINING
mark for political gossip, Mr.. Bryan
today is a more brilliant target than
ever. What is his game? What is
he up to-?
The suggestion as to the Senate
seems trivial Why should he seek
seat in that body? He would
be cramped there. AS The Star,
in discussing the matter several
weeks ago expressed it, the analogue
OF Mr.. Bryan in the Senate would
be the tying down of famous evan
gelist to the duties OF local pastor
He would neither suit nor like the
assignment An eagle in cage
would not beat his wings more i'm
patiently against the bars. The Sen
ate is great body, and affords a
fine field for usefulness, but not to
men of Mr.. Bryan's or Mr.. Roose-
velt's talents and temperament. They
require more elbow room.
The suggestion as to the presi-
dency is more readable. And yet
that is open to much question. As
suming a presidential candidacy next
year for Mr.. Bryan assumes a pur-
pose on his part to destroy, or at
least temporarily cripple, the demo-
cratic party. 1t does not appear pos
sible for him or anybody else to
wrest the democratic leadership from
Mr. Wilson. Can it be reasonably in
ferred from anything he has said or
done in this war matter that his real
object is to head an Independent
movement for peace on compulsory
and woman suffrage on the side!
Until he himself announces other
wise, he must be considered a demo-
crat, working within the party for
what he considers the party's good
for use next year.
And another point. Has Mr..
Bryan's experience during the past
two years left the glamour OF the
White House undimmed in his eyes?
He has been very close to that habi-
tation, and seen what the lie of an
occupant is. Is the lure as strong now
as in 1896, or 1900, or 1908? Can it
be: Is there another place where
the selhshness of politics and the
insubstantiality of its rewards are
more discouragingly displayed?
The great wonder in Mr.. Blaine's
case was that man who had spent
thirty years in Washington, the
larger part of the time in Office bring
ing him into close relations to men
occupying the presidency, should still
have been approachable SO late in
life, with the grave almost opening
at his feet, as to burdens so heavy
and pleasures SO few
Mr. Bryan is an agitator, not a ne
gotiator or an executive. With his
heart enlisted in cause his brain
responds; and as a pleader with
tongue or pen he has gifts in the
exercise of which he finds large per-
sonal satisfaction and his friends
much pleasure.

Congress and Clerks Retirement.

The discussion of the departmental
pension system that has been pro-
crossing in the columns OF The Star
recently. in connection with the vote
Of the clerks on the subject, has de-
veloped the fact that the government
employees are we'll posted on the sub
ject. having studied il from every
possible angle. This suggests that
Congress should be as enterprising on
matter of vital Importance to the
government and undertake a study
of the retirement question in order
to reach a satisfactory conclusion.
The Star has several times suggested
that the subject should be referred to
joint commission of the two houses
for careful investigation and report
in order that the government may
proceed on the basis of accurate in
formation to consider the best way
to reliexe the departmental conses-
ton.

legislators that the United States
should continue indefinitely along
the present lines of department or

the injustice and the unbusinesslike
character of the indefinite retention
on downward sliding scale of pay
OF clerical workers. No we'll managed
business is conducted on this prin-
ciple. Commercial success would be
| impossible on such basis, and yet
the government holds year after year
to the plan that is no plan of virtual
ly pensioning the elder workers by
keeping them in harness at reduced
pay and thus choking the lines OF pro-
motion for the younger employees, and
eventually dropping the veterans
without compensation when they
reach the age, OF uselessness.
Department chiefs have repeatedly
urged the consideration of this ques-
ton by Congress- pointing out the
unmistakably bad effects of the ex-
isting conditions. but owing to a
| prejudice against any form of civil
pension the subject has been ignored
and conditions have grown worse.
The only relief the government can
obtain from this departmental con-
gestion is through the occasional
ruthless dropping of veteran work.
ers in a manner that would shame
any private employer.
The new Congress should take up
this matter promptly upon convening
! and refer it to joint commission
for consideration with a view to some
definite action to put the government
on a businesslike basis.
