CHICKENS COME HOME TO ROosT

THERE seems to be some excitement
= over the plan of the Judges OF the
Municipal Court to add 2ls employees to
the present staff of more than 500.
But what did the city expect when the
act creating the court was passed in 1913?
The law explicitly gives to the President
Judge the power to appoint such tip
slaves and officers or employees as arc rea'
sonably necessary, the number OF the same
and their compensation TO be determined
"by majority Of the Judges" The law
also empowers the court to appoint such
Official stenographers as shall be neces-
sary." ut further empowers the presiding
Judge to appoint as many probation ofll
GERS as majority Of the Judges shall
deem necessary.
: This is as sweeping a grant of power TO
multiply offices without let or hindrance
as was ever put in statute. Did the
people of Philadelphia expect when the
law was passed that the Judges appointed
under Il would not exercise that power?
Instead of being shocked at the multi.
plication of offices we should rather be
surprised at the moderation of the men
who had placed at their disposal such a
rich field of political patronage.
The chickens are coming home to roost.
That is all there is to 1t.

Of myself ever since. After careful first
hand examination of that vast enterprise 1
am convinced that, If not the most. It Is one
of the most heroic undertakings since this
war began In this country, or any other for
that matter
When you realize that there has been built
upon pling in vast swamp under frightful
weather conditions city With capacity for
population of 10000 souls in the last five
months, the imagination can hardly compre-
hend the magnitude of the task. Under these
conditions and to achieve such results.
there Is no doubt that money was msspent
and effort misplaced. but IL the Hog Island
plant can shorten this war one day it will
save twice as much as its entire cost.
Other Great Plants
we must remember that the Hog Island
plant Is only one of many where every con-
ceNable new problem has been thrust upon
both the management and men. The Sub
marine Boat Corporation In Newark Bay has
performed miracles under similar conditions
to those in Hog Island. ] never visit such
a plant without marveling at the courage
and patience of the men who in spite OF
unbelievable difficulties have accomplished
such notable results In so short time One
feels the same in visiting the great Victory
plant at Squantum, Mass, or, indeed, any
one of the 1872 yards under the jurisdiction
of the United States Shipping Board
any small degree in the awakening of public
opinion to the stern necessities and dangers
of this hour. The peace monger is the chief
danger at the present time. He is the Amer
lean Bolsheviki He seeRs to love the enc
mics OF his country with such passionate
devotion that he is blinded to all other con-
siderations This war must bring peace by
the method of brave free men, who are
willing to fight and, if need be. die that
tyranny may be crushed. ~
I know the dark forebodings which haunt
the minds of many at this time, and the rsa :
sons for them. ! am painfully conscious of
the mistakes and limitations and failures of
my own country as well as all others. and |
realize that this is probably the dark hour
before the dawn. but in spite of all that may
fairly be said. am thoroughly convinced
that we are going to win this war; first by
a military decision and second, by diplo-
matte negotiation, In which all who "a e
entitled because of their sacrifices will join.
and which will establish a basis upon which.
world civilization can be built safely for
generations to come. With this hope in INV
heart 1t Is easy 10 sound the trumpet and
call not only the workers in shipyards. but

NATIONAL POINT OF VIEW

That may happen in few weeks or a few
months or it may not happen for year.
But in no event will there come from Ger
many peace offer that the Allies can accept
until the German autocracy Is compelled TO

from without or from within. It is the first
essential condition to a durable peace based

justice.-New York World.
Fuel Administrator Garfield has advised
all householders to buy coal in the normal

should be taken. During the spring and

cumulated. The, present winters experience.
ought to suffice. During the coming warm
months coal production should be kept at
its maximum. The lesson of the past months
