of circumstances of the last few years
was such that he was hopeful of con-
stitutional amendment perhaps as soon
as 1920"
Mr.. Bryan has set for himself task
that will take up a good deal of his
time. For while twenty-five states are
now in the dry column, those outside
will require strenuous missionary labors.
The drink traffic there is strongly in
trenched. Capital in enormous sums
is invested in it, and men in large num-
bers are employed by it. Moreover, its
political connections are very infiuen-
tial, and extend in many directions. The
distillers, the brewers and the saloon
keepers have nominated so many candi-
dates for office, and controlled so many
of the men they have elected to Office,
they will put up the fight of their lives
now that they find themselves with their
backs to the wall.
But to a man of Mr.. Bryan's tempera-
ment and experience this will be in
spring. He is trained campaigner,
and has topic to his liking. He knows
all the tricks of the drink trade, having
fought the trade for years, and suffered
as a candidate at its hands. The Bryan
of a former day, intense and untiring,
will soon be on his travels, as Col. Bar
leycorn will discover.

The New British Ministry.

The new British ministry, just an
nounced, is striking composite of all
the factions and parties, including some
men new to cabinet life and others WHO
are familiar with governmental work. The
real power of the government is vested
in five men, the war council, headed
by David Lloyd George, the premier.
with him will serve Lord Curzon, gov
ernment leader in the house of lords;
Andrew Bonar Law, leader in the house
of commons; Arthur Henderson, labor
ite, and Lord Miner, these two without
portfolios. The premier's power, as head
of the government and also of the war
council, will be greater than any held
by the British commoner since the days
of Cromwell. Lloyd George is virtually
the ruler of Great Britain at this time.
His is a tremendous task. It will tax
his capacity Of administration to the
utmost. No matter how efficient or
loyal Or jealous in their service his fel-
low ministsEs may be. upon him will rest

Mr.. Bryan's Prohibition Plans.
Mr.. Bryan's present aim is to weld ,

Mr. Bryan's present aim is to weld the
democratic party and the prohibition
party. He is quoted as saying:
Il will begin by meeting various
groups of democrats and prohibition
lists at different times The practical
work of organization necessarily has to
be carried out for the present in the
states, in some of which preliminary
plans have been started. On December
2s | will meet dry democrats in Lex
ington, KY, when ! go there to address
300 college students. In January l will
confer with groups in Ohio and Indiana.
Ny chief object at these early meetings
will be perfection OF special committees,
to take charge of the work of welding
tie two parties
Kentucky is well selected for the in
ruguration of the work The demo-
$atie party there is divided on the ques-
I on of prohibition. One of the sena-
IS from the state, Mr.. Beekham, is a
y Jared state-wider. having advanced
= that position from the position of
leader of the county unit forces As
he has long been a Bryan man on other
ISSUES, he will not be a stranger in Mr..
Bryan's company on this issue.
And there is like division in the re-
publican party. A. T. Hert, republican
pational committeeman for the state,
and recently in charge Of the Hughes
western headquarters at Chicago, has
pronounced for prohibition, and advises
his party friends at home to support the
policy. This should be agreeable to Mr..
Bryan. In press report of the ma
tional W. c. T. L. convention, held at
indianapolis November 10 and which
Mr.. Bryan attended. this appeared:
love my party and because of my
love for it hope and feel that it will be
"dry' democracy. said Mr. Bryan
He said further that in spite of
his desire to see national prohi-
bition come through democratic in
fiuence. his prayers for a saloonless na-
tion extended beyond party lines and
that he would not necessarily await the
triumph Of the prohibition cause through
the democratic party, but would wei-
como . dry nation through ths yepub,

The Inaugural Chairman.

The selection of Robert N. Harper to
be chairman Of the inaugural committee
meets the full approval of the people
of the District. Mr. Harper has been from
the outset, since the election, the choice
of members of his party to take charge Of
the work of preparing for the induction
of the President into Office, and there
has been little doubt for some weeks
that when the time came for designa-
ton he would be named. Mr.. Harper is
a man of exceptional energy and re-
source, indefatigable in the prosecution
of any assigned or self undertaken task,
enjoying the confidence of his fellow
citizens and experienced in the handling
of large public affairs. The task that
has now been imposed upon him is not
an easy one 1t involves difficult prob
lens, especially one of financing the
ceremonial. But that the chairman will,
through the inaugural committee of his
selection, handle these problems capa
bly, and successfully is not to be ques
toned. He will receive the full CO.
operation of the people Of Washington,
regardless of party, in an endeavor to
make the second Inauguration of Presi-
dent Wilson notable.

Congress.

The first week of the session has en-
phasized the fact that the program of
Congress is disproportioned to the time
allowance Congress has heard from the
President, and he, indirectly, from it.
His recommendations are debatable, and
will be debated The so-called eight
hour law. with the correlated questions it
has introduced, will alone lead to some
vigorous exchanges of opinion. Unity
does not exist in either party.
Then there are other matters. Advo-
Gates of an embargo on foodstuffs will
press that proposition, which will intro
duce the general subject of the high cost
of living The army and the navy sup
ply bills will bring up the subject of
preparedness again. The pacifcists are
still in belligerent mood, so to say, and
are disposed to continue their fight with
tongue and pen to hurry along the mil
lennium. And there is threat on the
part of the friends of what is called
pork barrel legislation to challenge the
popular charges on that subject. There
is every promise, indeed, of music in
the air.
The most interesting disclosure of the
week related to the railroad brother
hoods and the President. They appear
TO have parted company. Both the
brotherhoods and the American Fedora
tion of Labor are opposed to the Presi-
dents recommendation about providing
against lockouts and strikes, and have
appealed toaCongress. They are bring
ing pressure to bear on that body
against passing any measure drafted on
lines favored by the President.
This has created new situation. At
the last session the brotherhoods and
the President Joined hands and held up
Congress. Now the brotherhoods ask
Congress to join hands for holding up
the President. If the President does
not change his mind and shift his po-
sition something very stirring may take
place.
1t is urged against the Presidents
proposition that it would lead to Gin
voluntary servitude." That is an e1-
treme phrase. and does not properly de-
scribe the effects of any sort of arbitra-
tion. What is now in the Presidents
mind-if it will only stay there's not
the enslavement of individuals, but pre-
venting the enslavement of the public
by combinations of individuals. The
public first. Capital is entitled to divi-
dends and labor to good wages and safe
surroundings. but not at the expense of
the health and comfort of the great
body of the people.
The chances are ninety-nine in hun
dred that there will be no strike Janu-
ary l: and. if not then, why strike at
any time. Delay and consultation make
for an orderly and satisfactory settle
ment of the controversy.

Retirement Also Needed.

While the movement for the increase
of the salaries of department clerks is
under way the matter of departmental
retirements should not be neglected.
Annual reports are being filed by heads
of departments and bureaus with urgent
recommendations for the adoption of
system of retirement that will relieve
the government service of the superan-
nuated who are holding back promotions,
and, after years of efficient work, are
now incapable of performing their tasks
up to the required standard With few
executions the administrative author.
ties are urging this project as the only
assured means of putting the depart
ment service on the right plane of eff
cheney without doing cruel injustice to
the veteran workers.
For years the urgent need OF the gov
ernment service has been retirement
system and a general pay increase. 1t
is remarkable that the departmental
work has been done so well in the alb
senee of these changes. Many large busi-
ness institutions have adopted the retire
ment principle with decidedly beneficial
results, while in all lines Oh business and
industry an upward tendency in the pay
scale has been prevalent for years. The
government alone has stood still in the
matter of its administrative establish
ment, merely adding to the numbers
without diminishing the burdens borne
by individual workers, but actually add
ing to them by increasing the hours of
labor and by failing to advance the pay
scale, while the cost of living has risen
steadily.
Retirement is now recognized as es-
sential to good administration. The
government cannot. without heartless
cruelty dismiss the veterans from its
service To cast them out would be an
act Of the grossest injustice and would,
moreover, demeralize the service by
serving notice upon all workers that
those who enter the ranks can expect
nothing in the days Of their diminished
efficiency. A carefully devised retire
ment system would greatly stimulate the
entire force Of government workers,
adding to the value Of the services rem
dered by assuring all Of retention dur
ing good behavior and competence and
of a decent provision for the needs of
life in later years.
The testimony for retirement has been
aceumulating for long time in the
form Of annual reports and special rec
concentrations, and it cannot be longer
ignored without serious injury to the
public service. Every year that is al
lowed to elapse without action adds to
the problem. Delay means difficulty.
The subject has been studied by com
mittees and worked over by experts un-
til Congress has at hand abundant ma
terial for speedy action. If at this ses
sion both the pay scale advance and re-
tirement were adopted Congress would
go far toward establishing the depart
mental service upon the highest plane Of
efficiency and justice.

the great responsibility Of managing the
affairs of Great Britain at this greatest
crisis in her history.
The personnel Of the new ministry is
not familiar to Americans. Men are
drafted for service from civil life who
have had no previous government ex-
perience, but who have achieved impor-
tant successes in business affairs. Po-
litically, the ministry comprises twelve
liberals, fifteen unionists and three
iaborites, together with three others
who have heretofore been attached to
no party. Whether the omission Of any
members of the Irish party from tho
cabinet is significant has not as yet ap
peared. That nationalist support has
been pledged to the new government
through the Irish leaders is, however,
understood.
Evidently it is the purpose Of the
new premier and his ministerial asso-
ciates to subordinate everything to the
prosecution of the war. England is to
be regulated in perhaps the German
fashion to get the last degree of war
making power out of the people in the
manufacture of munitions and in the
development of domestic ood-yielding
resources. Sweeping changes are i'm
pending Lloyd George has always been
direct in his methods, and it is to be
expected that during the next few
months he will vigorously press for
changes social and economic that will
leave England in far different state
of organization than that which pre-
vailed before the outbreak of hostilities.
