Investigations Bring Forth Fruit

INVESTIGATIONS into the conduct OF the
war fnauguratcd by Congress, may not
add efficiency TO the government or otherwise
improve the state of affairs, but they are
giving entertainment alike to the investigator
and the spectator. AS matter Of fact that
is about all congressional inquiry ever
amounts to. aside from the generous cxpend-
ture Of contingent funds and the engage
ment OF high-prced counsel. The various
probing proceedings now in progress arc rum
ming true to FORM They are revealing no
scandals and laying tho foundation for no
legislation but they are providing plenty OF
pleasant one-day sensations. Also they are
giving Washington a season Of thrilling
rumors. There arc infinite stories of shake
ups, uphcavals and governmental reorganiza-
tons. None Of them may be true, but all Of
them lend interest to the situation.
For example, the Crozier testimony before
the Senate Military Affairs Committee, in
which the blame for the delay in producing
more machine guns for the American army
was put upon Secretary Baker, was followed
instantly by the report that the Secretary of
War was to resign, and would be succeeded
by Theodore Roosevelt To lend zest to
the yarn it was added that Major-General
Leonard Wood would be named as chief of
staff.
On the heels OF this came the further story
that facts were about to be unearthed with
respect to the navy which would force Secre-
tary Daniels into retirement, and would end
IN the appointment of one OF the rear-admfrals
now on the retired list as head Of the naval
establishment. This forecast did not proceed
quite far enough to pick the particular Of
hcer to be so favored.
Tho controversy between Herbert Hoover,
food administrator. and Claus Spreckels over
the sugar shortage started the rumor that
the administrator would not be able 10 stand
the "gaf," but would be compelled to quit
his job. In the same breath came the fur
thcr lntimation that the whole fuel admins
ration was about to be turned inside out,
new head appointed and a complete set OF
new policies put into operation
All these things happened with three days'
hearings. They kept official Washington in
good deal of ferment, but the excitement
subsided very soon. just as it always does in
such circumstances. There have been no
designations and probably will be none, but
the investigators have the satisfaction Of
knowing that they have given Washington
something 10 talk about

I've written of people and worlds and clinics
And there isn't target haven't shot;
I've turned my guns on the Great White Throne
Aud shot my arrow at lesser things
I've tuned my Tyre to the smile and groan

And other rcarns that were not Just that
Two roasted folk both wealthy and great
And I've heXamctcrcd the family cat.
I've roamod DER leagues OF the dreary waste
That lies 'twixt Man and his Higher Self
Two catered to vulgar and fancy taste
And written for glory and rmcd for pelf
And men like Morgan go roaming far
With gold and silver In current coin
And dig where bones of dead rimcstcrs are
And buy what others perchance purloin;
I've yet TO hear OF millionaire man
Who'll give me cent for my reams of stuff
can write as much as the next can,
And be just as gentle, or just as rough!
The above is kick, for I Just have read
Where thousand paid for original script
OF a single stanza by one who's dead.
And whose soul has long to its respite slipped!
And wsh--oh! gee. how l wish that

But reckon that first I'll have to die
And perhaps somebody will buy it then

To the Editor OF The Times-D ispa tch:
Sir.--T beg to indorsc very heartily
the movement for An increase in salary
OF our public school teachers, for the
following reasons:
/. There arc very few public bcne-
factors adequately paid. especially
those in charge OF public instruction.
.. The worth of woman has never
been properly appreciated, and her
work has always been cheapencd.
Where men and women are associa ted
together in common service. the
salary Is usually regulated according
to the estimated value OF the woman
rather than the more adequate rcmun-
Grafton belonging to the man.
2. Everything is very much higher
than in former years. while money Is
more plentiful than ever before known.
The teacher must have a better salary
or there is no hope for future stan
dards. l think every fair minded ciu-
zen will agree at once that the teach
ers ought TO receive an immediate In
crease in salary in keeping with tho
advanced cost of living. as Well as their
real worth JOHN J. WICKER

such fundamental Importance by the founders
OF our government to the integrity of the
Union and TO the terms OF the compact by
which 1t was formed. that they were specif-
