admit that the object of the cam

noting that Mr.. Carter makes no
charge of newspaper "coerced by

country that he was for an eight

for him to have written that this

doubtedly is right, for while prac-
tically all of the people of this coun-

The numerous hold-ups and attacks
on women within the last few days
apparently have created much ex-
citement among the residents Of
Washington. The newspaper reports
of the activities of the thugs seem to
indicate that but one or two men are
responsible for what appears to be
an epidemic of crime. The police be-
lieve that if they could capture one
man guilty of one of the recent at
tacks on women these street robber-
les and assaults would stop as sud
denly as they started. The robberies
seem to have demonstrated to large
majority of residents the necessity
for increasing the number of police
men. This necessity has been urged
by the Superintendent of Police, but
the recommendations have fallen on
apparently deaf ears in Congress. 1t
now seems the duty of the various
civic bodies of the District to lend
their aid to the Commissioners in a
fight for an adequate police force.

Operates on His Own Leg.

Albany, Ga. Nov. N.-Because he had
presence Of mind enough to cut out the
flesh surrounding the wound in his leg
caused by a rattlesnakes bite. Wilbur
Workman saved his life where medical
attention later would have failed. He
has been pronounced out of danger.
Workman was spending the day in the
woods with party of friends. He be-
came separated from the others and was
unable to attract their attention when
the reptile bit him. After cutting the
poisoned flesh out he tied the wound up
with his handkerchief and made his way
to a negro cabin near by.

The Government Employees
Case.

In opening its news and editorial
columns for the publication of facts
and figures to show members of Con-
gress the necessity for increasing the
salaries of government employees to
meet increased demands on the pay
envelopes due to the higher cost of
living, The Washington Herald has
taken action which seems to meet
with the universal commentator of
all residents of the District.
The first organization of govern
ment employees to meet since The
Washington Herald began publica-
ton of news and editorials presenting
the case of government workers was
the Treasury Branch of the Federal
Employees Union, which assembled
last night in G. A. R. Hall and unan-
imously adopted a resolution "en-
dorsing the movement inaugurated by
the press to call attention to the
wages and ratings of Federal clerks
with view to having Congress enact
legislation to eliminate inequalities
and adjust salaries to meet present
conditions"
This resolution is typical of scores
of letters that have been received by
The Washington Herald containing
thanks for taking up the case of the
government employe and acting as
his mouthpiece in plea to Congress
for an adequate living wage. Many
of the letters contain pleas to The
Washington Herald to continue the
good work"
One writer SAYS:
Thank the good Lord that there
is one paper in the nation that dares
to lift up its voice in behalf of the
government employees who have no
voice except through the press"
Many of the writers express fear
that Congress cannot be induced to
take action at this season, but all
agree that the entering wedge for
favorable legislation is publication of
facts revealing the plight of govern
ment employees and making known to
members of Congress the fact that
the need for higher salaries has been
made an urgent necessity by the
higher living cost.
1t is true that Congress may not
enact relief legislation at this ses-
sion, but it is reasonable to expect
that Congress will at least see the
need for instituting an inquiry to de-
termine how the higher cost of living
has affected those who can look only
to Congress for relief. And if such
an inquiry is made the result will be
higher salaries for government en-
ployes, for the facts will show that
the plea of the government workers
is Just.
