"The Opportunity to Be Useless"

Many people in this Capital OF the nation are on
frenzed search for "the opportunity to be useless
as Mr. Brisbane aptly puts it.
"The opportunity to be useless" is great phrase
and it is great fit in many-too many cases.
Every day hearing Of soft snaps" at 81 200
a year" for $Sa-week clerks" Mediocrity has come
into its own-though a scarcity of competency
The other day visited department. active be-
of the war Elevator boys, messengers, clerks
were literally falling each other.
In the office of a high official we found precision
and competency In the large outer office we found
thirty or forty men and women idling.
Much of this is, of course, unavoidable-and much
will be remedied-but just the business home of
"Arrant Stupidity is in public places.
THE opportunity to be useless does not mean the
opportunity TO serve, except for the shortest hours
the least sacrifice of effort and for the highest wage
No thought of country or of patriotism or of EN-
ployer, or of ones self-respect-just a mad rush to
get the money" while, the street phrase has it,
"The Gettn's Good"
War does play queer pranks, and not the least
queer is in how it has placed the business derelict on
pedestal-and pays him for looking like human
being
'Twould be silly to say that incompetency is the
rule in public business-for it is no-but the bald fact
remains that the misfits having their innings.

law passed in 1854 and, except for temporary IN
crease varying from to 10 per cent put into effect
for the present year ending June 50 1918 this schedule
has never been changed In fact It has been lowered
for the 1854 law authorized salary less than $Ioo
per year. but supplementary laws and departmental rul
ings have allowed the employment Of large numbers
of employees in minor" positions at salaries as low
as $500
The average salary Of government worker today
is $o48 and over half Of them receive less than that
OF those receiving more than the average, not per
cent get more than $1,000.
The Heating bill now pending in Congress pro-
vides for increases of pay which would in
ure ease the situation
1t applies to postal employees, letter carriers and
other government employees throughout the country,
as we'll as Washington clerks It would raise ali sal
aries below 5000 by 30 per cent Salaries above 5000
including $1aoo would be raised IS per cent; above
$I7oo including $780, IS per cent above $500 in
Guiding $4,000 per cent; above $4,000 including
$2,soo, S per cent.
The Heating bin has the support Of the American
Federation of Labor the National Federation of Fed
eral Employees, the National Federation of Postal EN-.
ployes and other organizations. 1t proposes q very
moderate measure of justice.
If you believe that Uncle Sam ought not to run
sweat shop, write your Congressman to support the
Heating bill. ~,

The Governments Sweat Shop.

Shall the Nations Capital become a national
sweat shop? This is the real question before Con-
gress in regard to the pay of government clerks.
1t is not local question, because it has become
national scandal.
Uncle Sam is becoming the worst employer in
the country7at time too, when workers in all
other lines have been lettering their conditions or
least striving to keep up with the cost of living.
Aside from the postal employees, something like
one-third of the and on the national pay
roll live in Washington.
The postal employees and the revenue customs
immigration and Treasury employees scattered through
out the country receive salaries based on the Wash
ington schedules, and quite as insufficient They are
also entitled TO relief and will share in any increases
that may be obtained for the Washington clerks
Families OF government employees in Washington
are only able to live by the combined labor of all
the members. Mothers and daughters must 20 out
OF the home to work. Nearly every government en-
plcye is doing extra work or trying to obtain il.
Many serve ushers in movie shows night watch
men, as sweepers and cleaners. The richest govern
ent on earth is deliberately sweating It's servants and

Where Is the Turning Point?

The winter of Io17-Is doubtless will go down in
history the lowest ebb in the fortunes of the allies
since war was declared.
Since the battle of the Marine, Germany has been
on the defensive. She has made aggressive efforts to
regain the initiative as at Ferdn and in the present
drive against Italy. but only with partial success
1t is apparent now that she will take the Of
fensive that her purely military power is stronger
than has been at any time since her first repuse at
the gates Of Paris. 1t will be several months prob
ably before she is enabled to reap the full fruits of
the triumph of her intrigue in Petrograd; but when
Germany strikes on the Western front, it will be no
casual blow that will be delivered. Nobody in the
allied world really fears that the Prussian military
machine will break through either Paris Calais;
but they know that the hardest kind of fighting is
ahead Of them.
At this bleak time they gaze across the Atlantic
and find the United States engrossed in its first wash
ing-of-dirtylinen period and with its whole military
and shipping program thrown into doubt Russia
whose sheer bulk has constituted mighty force in
the war; is in the throes of malady which puts her
out of the war perhaps for good As for the American
people they find themselves confronted by conditions
which are incompatible either with their national pride
or their standing in the world.
Really serious doubt may be entertained to
whether 1918, or even 1910 will see the end of the
war Certainly the thought of German peace" of
a stalemate, is as far away from the minds OF the
allied nations as ever. But the defeat of Germany by
force of arms more remote now than it did
year ago. when the German peace kite interpreted
as the beginning of the end.
Slowly the question is beginning to shape itself in
the minds of the American people: When will the
United States be ready to give that accession of new
strength the allied nations that will constitute the
turning point-the real turning point-of the war?
1t may sound pessimistic to say it, but that day
seems to be further off than to be speed
ing away in the distance Many observers assert that
it will be impossible for the United States to have any
real army in France by the fall of the
coming year. Gradually the truth will out in spite
of the press agents and imaginative journalists who
have victmized the public-that first year and
half of is not going to the Kaiser to quake
in his boots any shiver to run up and down
the spines of the German general staff. We are
going to have huge army at home, but without the
means of getting it overseas
Not all the frenzy of Congressional investigations
is going to change that prospect The best it do
is clean house in the government TO bring the
ton face face with realization of its responsibility
In the meantime are-if that thought yields consoa
tion-"preparing"

CIinging to the Shekels.

Reference at a dinner was made to the love of
people for holding fast to the sheckes when this
story ttingy related by Representative John N.
Gardner, Of Texas
Jones had the reputation of being triAe tight
One afternoon his nextdoor neighbor, speaking with
friend, mentioned that unfortunate characteristic.

declared the neighbor, "and don't think for
ment that don't know him. He is the tightest ind-
vidual that galloped the boulevard to car
fare"
You don't really mean It'll" returned the friend
in what particular way is he tight?"
"He is tight in every way" declared the neighbor.
"Why, if his little kid went TO him for penny he
would sidetrack him by asking him if he wouldn't

MOTORBOATS USED

Dec. 2.-1taly's defense Of Venice has

Propelled by powerful engines and
capable Of almost incredible speed,

new classes and that within the next
year great progress will be made to-
ward the goal of defeating the Kaiser.
One Of these days the Senate in
CURRY committee will turn its eyes
in the direction Of our aircraft pro-
gram.
It will then be learned Just what
has retarded the production Of aero
planes for military use. It will be
known just what factors have con-
tributed to the delay, and whether
scandal or incompetency are to
blame for some Of the grief in this
direction.
America has been counting on the
air-and Germany has been fearing
America most from the air. Prob
ably this fear was born Of the
knowledge that Germany's downfall
must be brought about from the
heavens, and Germany realized that
in approaching her from on high,
America would be fulfilling a mission
as lofty as the skies in which 1t was
hoped our air machines would clus-
ter.
But the cluster has been delayed
ANS " AIO" why
and 1t will know why. There are
many things to answer, but the
ground will be covered one Of these
will be given an opportunity to sum
up the reasons for the failure Of
America to have 1000 machines
ready for delivery to the other side
at this moment.
Dave Lawrence pointed out last
night what had previously been point
ed out in this column, that many
tales of military ineff1ciency were dis
cussed under the surface here during
the fall and early winter, and that
had the military Misunderstanding Ba-
ker to particularize-been alert they
would have taken the public into
complete confidence at that time.
1t is left now to Congress to supply
the deficiency, and the undertaking Is
a bit more rigorous than some people
like to see. The effect of ''pitiless
publicity" however, IL going to be
beneficial. No one will suffer in the
long run. and our warfare against the
Kaiser will be considerably improved
by it.
1t was President Wilson who origi-
mated the term ''pitiless publicity -

Of his Cabinet officers thought the
people would forget It? Is 1t possible
that these Cabinet officers thought

The Blood-Price.

Imperialism has shown itself in all its naked
ugness and mankind aghast at the revelation has de-
ternined to destroy it."
Thus Mr.. Moorfield Storey at the meeting of the
Anti Imperalist League in Boston "We are met at
the gravest crisis in the history of the world" he
says what we have been taught to cali civilization
has turned from exploiting what II termed inferior
peoples and is destroying itself"
The world would hate to believe that British i'm
perialism-or American imperialsr-differs from Ger
man imperialism only in degree and not in kind 1t
is surely not asking too much for even the anti
imperialst believe that the contact of the white
with his less-deveoped yellow, red and black brothers
has the whole been good thing for the world
Exploitation assuredly there has been; the history
of coonalism is full of black pages with cruelty op
preston and robbery everywhere; but if European
civilization, wherever it has been carried, has not
brought benefits greater than its evils then we miss
entirely the meaning of history.
1t is true in large degree that the wild and
ricious competition among the Europeans for power
and place among the weaker peoples is the handspring
of the present savage war. Where it has not been
strife for territory it has been strife for foreign
trade and we Americans have been taught believe
that this trade competition held great prizes in store
for in the future by reason of Our resources and
OUR industrial power.
But the big fact Of the war is that mere COMPETE
ton among the nations, among corporations and
individuals is wrecking, destructive rendng process
The watchword of tomorrow is cooperation brother
hood fraternity live and let live So far civilization
has sinned in yielding to rapacty and to tramplng
the weak, it is paying the price, and paying it in
blood
If imperialism survives the war; It will have been
fought in vain.
