Meredith Nicholson, the Hoosier novelist lately added to the collec- tion of freaks in the cabinet muse um, and probably best known as the author of the House of Thousand Candles" is said to be engaged in collaboration with Secretary Baker, the reformer Secretary of War, in writing novel entitled, "Bluffing the Bandit; or Did We or Did We Not" The book will undoubtedly make a great hit with everyone but the people.

APOLITICIAN'S VIEWPOINT.

Speaking of full Territorial form of the Fairbanks News-Min- CT, Senator Gaustad's paper, says:
 True, we would not get control
 of the tidelands, but we could elect
 a few justices of the peace and a
 few minor officials such as sheriffs
 and continue to allow the power at
 Washington to parcel out the big
 offices and to dominate Territorial
 affairs
 How naturally the machine politi- clans mind turns to offices and pat ronage when anything concerning is mentioned! It counts for nothing with the News-Miner that the people would have power under full Territorial form of government to develop their municipalities, regu- late their school affairs, legislate on the fisheries, control their own taxa tion matters, make roads, build their own bridges-govern themselves, in short, through their legislature-but it is tremendously concerned over of- cial pay checks.
 Let the people direct and control official action through self-made laws, and there is little of moment in the personnel of the official roster as long as it is unincumbered by the ineffi- ciert or dishonest.-Juneau Empire.

In the Independent of March 27 is the story of How Swung Back to Teddy, by Young Business Man. y The text of the story may be judged by the following paragraph which ends the article: Tt makes me blush with shame to think there is not another masterful American to whom we can turn"
 He has greater cause to blush that he is unable to distinguish between mouthiness and masterfulness.

WAR AFTER THE WAR.

The allies. on April 20, held an important conference in Paris to con- slider economic and commercial ques- tions. The principal topic discussed was a plan for mutual exchange of commodities under tariff system fla vorable to the allied nations. It was the purpose of the meeting to bind the entente group into a closer un- ion after the war is over, but "reas- onable' rates will be established for neutral nations and a system will be devised intended to discriminate strongly against all hostile countries.
 It is the evident object of the en- tsnte countries to remind their ene- mics that the evil men and nations do live after them. Because Ger many and Austria are waging war on them now the allies purpose to con- tinue the war after peace is declared. It will be an economic war, but war.
 Doubtless Germany is preparing to use the same tactics. Some time ago it was indicated that Germany was attempting to, bind Austria-Hungary to an economic agreement which would amount to a commercial alli- ance against the allies. On the one hand Great Britain, France, Russia, Italy and the small allies and on the other Germany, Austria, Bulgaria and Turkey, all fighting for the morsels that are left after the worldwide struggle is over, each trying to rise from the ruins at the expense of the other, and trying to keep the other down.
 It would not be pleasant specta- cle, this postwar struggle, for if it succeeds it will tend to keep alive the issues of the present war, which start ed from commercial war, and will prevent the warning peoples from for getting their deep-seated enmities. It would be vastly better if the adversa- ries, when all is over, would shake hands and mutually pledge themselves to bind up the common wound.
 However, there is no certainty that these we'll laid plans of the bel ligerents will work out. It is not al- ways possible to direct economic forces by statute. If the people of the respective groups, after the war, see that greater advantages will ac- crue to them by being neighbors in- stead of enemies, the whole machin- cry now being framed will collapse. It is not inconceivable that the pound, or mark or franc or ruble may be more potent economic factor in peace than a spirit of hate legislated thru the fierce passions of war. And the world will be better off if that is true

tended for general application
throughout the service, and such di-
visions will be established as the
number OF officers at the disposal OF
the department of labor and the
funds available will warrant. Divis-
ions are already established and
working in various cities.
In the last thirty days a Young
Mems and Boys division has been in
st.tuted identical in cope with that
OF the Women's and Girls division,
with the difference that the former is
administered entirely by men officers
and the latter by women, the two ser
vices being entirely separate.
The service makes a special effort
to secure the cooperation of organ
i atoms, public and private, whose
objects are in harmony with the
plans OF the department OF labor, and
such committees may introduce APP
plicants and submit recommendations
concerning methods of education anC
training, and confer on this and other
related matters with the executive
officers Of the respective divisions.
Another recommendation of the
b'reau, approved by the department
within the last few weeks is possibly
the most important step taken since
the Inauguration OF the employment
system over a year ago. The funda-
mental purpose Of such system was
not to displace public employment
organizations, state or municipal, but
to aid and supplement their efforts
wherever it was possible for the gov
eminent to do so. Cooperation with
public bodies, state and municipal,
has been OF two kinds, one, the gen
era1 cooperation that is extended by
II organization to another doing
similar work. This has been going
on throughout the service wherever
there is a state or municipal body
taking up employment work. The de-
partment Of labor is thus co-opcrat-
ing with some OF the leading states,
and arrangements are under way for
the addition Of other states to the
list.
This represents in brief the present
organization, but the new plan adds
features to it that will mark a new
epoch in the service. Under the gen
cral instructions issued January %,
'l915, when the system was first es-

seeking of opportunities by cores
pondence with, and visits to, employ
ers. This has been done in a general
way in New York, Philadelphia, Chi
cago and other cities; but the results
achieved have called upon the bureau
'or a more comprehensive plan than
has been possible to establish under
the former rules, and hence the rec
ommendation submitted last month
for an extension of the system. "A
clearing house for information is
provided for in every state and pro-
vision is made for gathering informa-
! ton as to opportunities. The oppor-
t%unities secured are to be set forth
in bulletins issued at the hcadquar-
, ters in each state. These bulletins
| will be for general circulation among
| the people and newspapers. Also,
| they will be posted at postoffices and
other public places. Officers detail
| ed for duty in the clearing house OF
! information will be instructed to CON
suit employment managers represent
ing factories, mines, mills, CONNER
| cial and other establishments on the
following subjects:
/. Vacation for employees in the
respective establishment so as to
permit the period of such vacation to
help out such seasonal. occupations
in industries where the labor is of a
character that will offer change of
work with such exercise as will be
beneficial as we'll as remunerative.
2. Repatriation OF industry so
as to reduce to a minimum in each
year the number of days OF unem-
ployment for each wag Garner, and
to meet as far as practicable the loss
OF time involved through the seasonal
nature Of some industries.
3. Interchange Of employees so as
to fit the wage Garner to the job to
which he is best adapted without
nccessitating a discharge with" conse-
quent loss of time to the wage earne1
and loss Of the product of his labor
to the employer.
4. The promotion of a co-opera-
tive spirit between the heads OF such
establishment and the United States

Henry Hurt.

Henry Hurts career was a re-
markable instance of success through
persistence and devotion. The civil
war left him wholly without re-
sources. He attacked life unafraid
and accepted the humble post of con-
ductor on a street car line, then in
its infancy in Washington. His rise
to the presidency of that corporation,
through steady successive stages in
which he proved his worth by his sim
gleness of purpose and intelligent ap-
plication to his duties, was a marked
instance of the value of concentra-
ton. When the time came that his
years demanded his retirement from
active administrative service Mr..
Hurt had become one of the wealth
lest men in Washington. and up to
the time of his death he remained a
large factor in the financial affairs of
the community. But he was self
effacing man. He was not widely
known personally. He lived the SIM
plest life and was always one of the
silent forces of the capital. In con-
sequence his passing leaves less of a
vacancy than is caused sometimes by
the death of men of more active So
cial endeavors, though in solid worth
and merit Mr.. Hurt was one of the
Districts most valuable citizens.

The Fire Stops.

Careful consideration must be
given to the proposal of the Wash
ington Railway and Electric Company
to reduce the number of FIRE stops"
on its line or to eliminate them alto
gethcr. These fire stops are designed
to minimize the possibility of COLI
sion between the street cars and the
fire apparatus at points of frequent
runs by the latter. 1t is estimated
that there are no less than 10000
stops a day at these points, and their
elimination, assuming that there is
otherwise no necessity for the cars
to stop at these points would save 200
hours in running time. The point
that the public utilities commission
has to bear in mind is whether the
saving of this time now lost in COM
pulsory stops would result in better
traction conditions, and, furthermore,
whether there is any serious danger
of accidents resulting from the abro-
CATION of the rule.
The fire stop was established in
consequence of collisions between
street carr and FIRE apparatus. 1t is

A Departmental Appeals Court.

Representative Keating's bill to
give the classified civil service en-
ployes right of appeal to the fed
eral board of mediation and con-
citation in cases of demotion or dis
missal is inspired by certain in
stances of alleged injustice in the
Post Office Department. The sug-
gestor of the bill. an officer of the
National Federation of Post Office
Clerks, declares that there has been
a loss of confidence in the efficacy
of the civil service laws for the pro-
lection of the worker. 1t is unde-
niable that civil service employees are
subject to dismissal virtually with
out citation of cause if the head of
the department so wills. And it can
not be denied that the exercise of
this power tends to demoralize the
service. No business establishment
can succeed on the basis of causeless
dismissals. The United States should
be conducted on the same principle.
The essential spirit of the civil serv-
ice law is one of guarantee of tenure
during good behavior and efficiency.
Theoretically political considerations
are eliminated. Actually, in practice,
unfortunately they have not been and
tenure is uncertain in some depart
ments.
Whether the medium proposed by
the Heating bill, the board of media
ton and Cancellation, is the most eff
feetive possible as a check against
baseless, unwarranted demotions and
dismissals is to be considered. Theo-
retically the civil service commission
itself has jurisdiction over this ques-
ton. but actually the clerks have no
appeal under the present system from
any arbitrary action. By means of
manipulated efficiency records, it may
be, a showing of incapacity can be
made against clerk whose position
is wanted. Only through the opera
ton of some sort of appeals board
or court of review can devices of
this kind be checked, to give the civil
employe that degree of protection
from partisan action and injustice
that the civil service law in its es-
sence theoretically provides.

bench for politics. The present Chief
Justice of the Supreme Court was
first judge, then a senator and
then became a judge again.
That the presidency had no attrac-
tions for him? Can we imagine any
American with full qualifications for
the Office feeling or saying such a
thing? Justice Hughes is regarded
by both sides as measuring up to the
requirements of the White House.
That his party had no claims upon
him of such a character? A party
has claims upon every member; and
maybe the strongest claims upon its
strongest members. Justice Hughes
is a party man. He did not aban-
don his political opinions when he
took his seat on the bench; and there
is no reason whatever to suppose
that he has changed them since. He
is a republican member of the Su-
preme Court, as Chief Justice White
is a democratic member.
There is not, there could not be,
the slightest criticism of Justice
Hughes attitude toward the wide and
popular gossip associating his name
with the Chicago nomination. He
is not a candidate for that honor,
and will not permit any formal use
of his name in any political maneu-
vering with regard to it. But he
cannot control speculation in politi-
cal circles on the subject; and that
is likely to continue to the end of the
chapter. He is a shining mark; and
speculation likes that kind of a
mark.

not theoretical matter. But the
railroad company authorities contend
that equal safety from such accidents
can be secured through modihca-
ton whereby the cars are sent past
these points under control at low
speed. The difference between &C
tually stopping and running under
control is a material one to the rail-
road company. The energy neees-
sary to start a car from full stop
is much greater than that required
to accelerate its speed after it has
been checked. Doubtless these fire
stops, 10000 in day, work out in
terms of heavy coal consumption
which the company considers need
less.
No consideration of coal consump
ton, however, is to be weighed
against the matter of public secur-
ity. A collision between a street car
and the fire apparatus is not an ordi-
1ld1 dISluGHt. IL lldy mean lhS VII
ference between a small fire and a
conhagration. Doubtless the chances
of collision would be practically elm
mated if the cars were actually kept
under control at low speed at these
points, but the element of judgment
by the motorman enters into the
case and without the check of an abb
solute stop there would be risk of
error. However, this is for the COM
mission to consider, with special
reference to the question of what ad-
vantage there will be to the public
in a modification of the rule. If
through change to control rather
than a stop system the rush hour
congestion can be lessened and bet
ter service given it may be we'll to
take the chance, under terms of strict
responsibility for the railways in the
observance of the new rule.

Politics and the Bench.

This is taken from an interview in
which Charles B. Warren, republican
national committeeman from Michi-
gan. expressed the opinion that, next
to Justice Hughes, Theodore Roose-
welt is generally regarded as the
strongest man the republicans could
nominate:
"'Do you think it is generally be-
lievcd that Justice Hughes would &C
cept the republican nomination?
81 think his present attitude indi-
Gates that he will accept. His silence is
as good an answer for me as if he said
Yes" He cannot help being cog
infant of the strong sentiment for
him. and under the circumstances
think no man could refuse the nomi-
nation unless he stated positively be-
lore that he would not accept it,"
How could Justice Hughes decline
a call from his party to lead it in a
great national emergency? The Chi.
cago convention will be thoroughly
representative body, assembled for a
specific purpose. Let US suppose i,
canvassing the claims of men form

nomination. and then rendering the
nomination to the New York jurist
Upon what ground could he decline
