Mr.. Bryan's Democracy.

Mr. Wilson's friends are divided
a 10 Mr. Bryan. Some believe the
former Secretary entirely sincere in
lis professions OF friendship for Mr..
Wilson, and do not doubt that next
year he will advocate the renomina-
ton and reelection OF the President.
They regret his retirement from the
cabinet and his present agitation
against a polioy-preparedness-up
which the President has staked 50
much; but they ooncede his right TO
'ake his own course. They have no
.dsa that it will lead him out of the
democratic party, or even far enough
20 destroy his usefulness as a great
party asset in the presidential cam
paisr.
There are others, however, who
distrust Mr. Bryan, and think he
means mischief. As they sec the sit
uation and read him. he did not give
a good reason for leaving the State
Department, and so is TO be suspected
all along the line. They do not go
INTO details as to their notion Of why
he left, but upon that episode they
base charge that he is no longer a
democrat and should be driven out of
the party.
In support Of their proposition
these men refer to the Tait.Roosr-

Electrical Prosperity Week. :"

Electrical Prosperity Week" in
Washington. The phrase is signif-
cant of wonderful progress. Elec-
tricity is mans most active servant
today, and is set to do many things
that few years ago were regarded
as impossible of performance. Houses
are lighted by ineandescent bulbs as
brilliantly as by the sun. Rooms are
heated from the same current, laun-
dry work is ironed, food is cooked
and in the sick room the electric
wires work wonders for comfort and
cure.
II is now impossible to conceive life
without electricity, and yet only few
decades ago it was almost unknown
save in few uses that are at pres
ent regarded as crude and elementary.

A Remarkable Autumn.

Washington is enjoying wonder
fully fine autumn this season. The
air is exceptionally mild and the days
are fair with few exceptions. The
weather wise" may shake their heads
over the prospect of compensations
still to be paid in the form of bitter
cold and heavy SHOWS. but every day
of such weather now experienced is
a gain that cannot be possibly Off
set later. Outdoor sports are still in
progress without any discomfort for
participants or spectators. Those
who walk through the country are
stimulated by the bracing but not nip
ping air. Life is most enjoyable in
every activity. The fall of 1915 should
be long remembered as remarkable
for its delights.

welt episode. When Mr.. Roosevelt
quilted the presidency he left. some
warm friends in Office, and others on
deck out of Office, who made it their
business to keep tab on Mr.. Taft as
President and confer among them
selves as to whether he was coming
up to Roosevelt sample. They soon
decided that he was not, and as soon
began plotting for his downfall. Their
purpose was to weaken Mr.. Taft and
bring Mr.. Roosevelt back at the end
of four years.
Mr.. Taft's attention was called TO
the matter and he was advised to be
on his guard, and even to take some
positive action. But, generous In his
dealings with others, he was slow to
believe. and slower still to anger
after becoming convinced; and moth
ing was done toward dcheckmating the
opposition until it was too late. The
rest we all know.
But even if the President were
brought around to this unfavorablc
view of Mr.. Bryan, how would he go
about driving him out of the party?
What test would he prescribe for
those who profess and call them
selves democrats Not preparedness,
for he himself has put that policy
on a non-partisan basis. Not the
tariff, for he and Mr.. Bryan helped
shape the Underwood revision. Not
foreign affairs, for they, too, are non
partisan; and as to Mexico Mr.. Bryan
stood at Mr.. Wilson's side during the
whole period of watchful waiting.
There will probably be no attempt
made, however much some desire it,
to deprive Mr.. Bryan of the right to
call himself a democrat and continue
TO cooperate with the party he found
in a state of wreck in 1896, and put
in power in 1918.

Department Retirements.

Senator Pomerene's observations
on the subject OF departmental retire
ment, published in Saturdays Star,
indicate an agreement with the
proposition to permit veteran govern
ment civil employees to leave the sery-
ice on living competency after a
certain period. He objects, however,
to any plan whereby the employe
could leave the service on such a
pension on his own volition, even if
the government desired to retain him.
In other words, the choice between
active and retired service should not
be left solely to the worker.
There is no serious issue on this
score. As a practical matter it is to
be doubted whether enough cases
would ever arise under any retire
ment system which would work
against the governments interests to
make such contingency worth while
as an objection. At the retirement
age the employe would be confronted
with two possibilities, to remain in
service at full pay or to leave it on
half pay. If in good health and pos
sessed of all the faculties, with no inn
pairment of efficiency, the worker
would almost invariably prefer to re-
main if permitted to do so. The pro-
posed retirement would be mainly
for the benefit of those who had been
worn out in the service, whose value
to the government was lessened
through the advance of years. If the
man were in such a condition of mind
and body as to cause him to want to
leave the service on retired pay the
government would unquestionably be
willing for him to do so.
One of the chief purposes of re-
tirement system should be to prevent
the gradual demotion of government
workers as their years advance, so
tina. they reach the age of quitting
at perhaps lower rate of pay than
at their entrance. This is now hap
pening. 1t is most unjust to the in
government. The clerk who has been
promoted to perhaps the highest rate
allowed under the civil service classi-
tication, presumably as a mark of eff
ciency, and who is then set back step
by step, necessarily loses his interest
in his work, is. discouraged by his
treatment and becomes of less value
to the government. Demotion on the
score of years is the poorest econ
omy, and the United States should
hasten to correct this grave economic:
fault by adopting system OF depart
mental retiremcnts which will guar
antee to every efficient worker reten-
tion in service, continuation of pro-
motion, immunity from undeserved
demotion and eventual retirement on
living compensation after reaching
the limit OF usefulness.

Congress.

A few more days and Congress will
be with u.s. But business will not I'M
1nediately begin That is to say, the
usual time will be consumed in pre-
lininaries. Not until after the holt
days will the wheels begin to re-
volve regularly and steadily. Then
there should be something doing
every day.
How much can be done in the hve
months before the presidential nomi-
nations and the national platforms
are due? Il all depends. II politics
can be. and is, kept within reason
able bounds-the majority driving not
too hard. the minority resisting not
too tubbornly-several questions
which will enter into the national
campaign should be disposed of.
But this viii be difficult. The temp
tation to play politics will be strong
for both parties. A campaign for ma
rionaI control develops all the poll
tics in the American nature; and the
supply is large. A party in power
wants to stay there. A party out of
power wants to get there. And SO
when the engagement opens and the
joy of battle thrills, the participants
are not easily held to original cal
culations.
Entering into the doubt of the sit
uation is the fact that the majority
party is divided on the three propo-
sitions OF most interest to the coun-
try-the revenue proposition, the
preparedness proposition and the
proposition for creating an Ameri-
can merchant marine. The divisions
may disappear after the President
has spoken and had time to reinforce
his words by personal conferences
with the leaders of the two factions,
but at present things look squally,
and threaten at least tussle and de-
lay.
There are-and for that matter al
ways have been-protection demo-
Gratis and free trade democrats. There
are democrats for a large prepared
ness, others for a medium prepared.
ness, and still others for no pre-
paredness at all. And as for an
american merchant marine, there are.
democrats so outspoken that they
characterize the Administrations plan
as state socialism, and declare that no
democrat should give it support
Adding still more to the uncertain
ty is the attitude of the man who will
lead his party in the House Mr.
Kitchin possesses ability and fight
ing quality, and seems to be "oiling
up for combat-getting into supple
condition. Evidently on the subject
OF preparedness he is going farther
than simply to register his personal
objection and record his vote But
how far he can go is to be demon
strated
No other Congress has faced such
conditions as now exist. With near
ly the whole world in arms, and fight
ing with unexampled military
strength, problems have been created
for US which cannot be evaded, nor
yet solved without wisdom and
patience and care.
