Court Pufery

On this page we print, exactly as it
reached us, an article of some 1000
words from the Committee on Public In
formation entitled Ground the Clock
with Baker"
It is personal article about the Sec
retary of War, who is member of the
Committee on Public Information. 1t is
meant to be extremely laudatory. The
intent obviously is to produce a popular
impression favorable to him and to en-
list the emotions of interest, awe and
sympathy on his behalf. 1t is, in short,
a piece of praise bought and paid for.
The Committee on Public Information
Committee on Public Information buys
it. Who pays for it? After the Commit
tee on Public Information has hired it
written it has to be put into type and
printed on scarce white paper and then
distributed by means of an already con-
gested postal service. Who pays for all
Of this? Mr.. Baker? No, indeed He
couldn't. The public pays.
The Committee on Public Information
thinks it knows what the public ought to
have. 1t sincerely thinks it is good for
the public to hear the Secretary of War
praised by press agent, and has, there
fore, no compunctions about spending
the proceeds of Liberty bonds for that
purpose.
We are now hardened to all that. and
too weary of it to complain. But of this
particular performance it amuses US to
say that we think it sheer waste and
worse than nothing, even from the false
and dangerous point of view of court
puffery. 1t is so because the Committee
on Public Information does not know
what kind of man a Secretary of War
ought to be nor the kind of man the pub
lie wants him to be-
The thought of this war being run by
man who likes ''to curl up in a deep,
soft armchair with book" will not
make very robust appeal to the read
ers of country newspapers. The "curl-
up" stuff is fatal. 1t might go in "The
Ladies' Home Journal but not in the
rural American press
And Mr.. Baker still wonders why his
case is so misunderstood.
New-York tribune., 1918-07-07

tanned, have decided not to devote their
lives to work so unremunerative AS
result, speakers declared, three things
had become necessary-to raise the social
status of the teacher, to raise the pay of
the teacher to a minimum of $1,000 q
year and to remove the ban Oh married
teachers.
There may be difficulties about the first
two proposals, but there should be none
about the other one. Why there should
ever have been ban against the mar
ried woman in the schools is a mystery.
Many of the large cities of the country,
New York among them, have been intellj-
gent enough to permit married women to
remain as members of the teaching force,
and it is not Of record that the fact of
marriage has decreased their ability or
efficiency, in general.
Undoubtedly, all over the country there
are many such women, qualified for the
work which is seeking those competent to
do it, who would be glad to take up again
their old occupation.
New-York tribune., 1918-07-07
What's 1t All About?

The hearing held by the Board of
Health on the charges against Dr. Lucius
+. Brown, head of the Bureau of Food
and Drugs, resolved itself into sort of
ratification meeting. DR.. Copeland,
Health Commissioner, early declared
that there was no question Of the honesty
and integrity of the official on trial Later
he expressed himself in this fashion,:
"The city is proud of the fact that one
of its bureau heads has so high place
in the scientific world"
Still later he said that the results of
DR.. Browns work were of value to the
city. Moreover, the question of alleged
improper absences from duty was cleared
up by DR.. Browns showing that, though
he took a month off to bring his family
to this city and get settled, he worked
practically without vacation that year
and put in much overtime without pay.
Absences for lecture trips and to attend
conferences of other officials were taken
with the knowledge and approval of his
superior, the Health Commissioner-the
DR.. Godwater-who believed that value
resulted from an interchange of in
formation.
There remained cf the so-called
charges only the allegation that concerns
notably the Scheffeln company, the
head of which is head of the Citizens
Onlon-had been unduly favored and
the question of routine administration in
DR.. Browns bureau.
"Do you wish me to say that do not
play any favorites?" he asked Commits
sioner Copeland.
Il don't think you do," was the answer.
And as to the improper delegation of
authority to subordinates, DR.. Brown de-
clared that since he got results-which
DR.. Copeland admitted--he could see
nothing but difference of opinion about
the methods by which this was accom-
plished
What the Board of Health will decide
remains to be SEEN Two members of if
DR. Copeland and Police Commissioner
Enright-owe their appointments to
Mayor Hylan, who short time ago was
ostentatiously cunning for the expert
heads of the Health Department bureaus.
But so far as the public is concerned. Dr..
Copeland's own statements and admis
sions constitute not only an acquttal
but vindlcation for DR.. Brown. That
was foreshadowed when the original
charges against him, drawn by Civil
Service Commissioner MacBride - no
longer part of the administration
were dropped and the Corporation Coun
sells staff spent much time fne-tooth
combing DR.. Browns records in an en-
deavor to get something to take their
place.
Here is an official admitted publicly by
his superior to be honest, able, impartial,
New-York tribune., 1918-07-07

who obtains results, who has high stand
ing in the scientific world. Yet he has
been pilloried through the publication of
charges against him alleging inefliciency
and indicating that his Office was nest
of grafters, and was suspended on those
charges, even though later they were
found to be untenable What redress has
he? At the best, he will be acquitted and
restored to duty.
Most cities and their administrations,
having man of this type in their ser"
vice, would be devoutly thankful and en-
deavor in every way to keep him. Mayor
Hylan's administration has endeavored
to get rid of him.

We Salute General Crowder

General Crowder's refusal to accent
promotion to a lieutenant generalcy does
him great credit. He could have accented
this honor without embarrassment 1t
was a free will offering on the part Of
Congress. No one would have begrudped
nm the recognition of faithful service
which it was intended to carry with it
In his work he has exhibited energy and
falr-mlndedness, an ability to profit bv
experience and an increasing apprecia-
ton OF the nations eagerness to see its
entire man power thrown into the war.
1t testlties to the Provost Marshal Cen
erals genuine modesty and STRENGTH cf
character that he is unwilling to be sim
gled out as the main contributor to the
success of the selective draft experiment
1t was popular success.
When the selective service law was
passed its successful execution had AL
ready been guaranteed by the support Of
public opinion. Its execution was con-
tlded to the people themselves-to boards
OF citizens, serving for the most part
without compensation. These boards
hammered the law into shape, got the
men and sent them to the camps. This
unseliish service has been one of the
great achievements Of the war-a service
which never halted and was always ready
to be speeded up to the limit.
General Crowder fully recognizes the
value and merit of the work done by the
local conscription agencies He should
not be rewarded, he says, before they are
rewarded. That is a just and generous
attitude. 1T is the attitude of gentle
man and soldier. 1t will more than
ever establish this sensible and unas-
sumlng officer in the publcs good will
and respect

SPECIAL-FEATURE SERVICE.
ROUND THE CLOCK WITH.
BAKER.

"There he goes now" remarked one of the
Office force who sit working in the room out
side Secretary Bakers office. There he
goes, in his Palm Beach suit, with that little
old soft hat on his head. Just as friendly
and natural. Nothing pompous about him.
| should say not. Just easy and demo-
cratic as an old shoe'
1t is good sign when man is liked by
his employer. 1t is even better when he is
unaffectedly respected by the men who work
for him. And the Secretary of War has, in
an unusual degree, the genuine and sincere
esteem of every one connected with his or.
ganization.
Secretary Baker is one Of the busiest men
in the whole world. No other Secretary of
War has ever had so org job. Stanton, the
Secretary under Lincoln, is his closest rival.
But the size of this war makes it even
greater administrative task than the Civil
War.
Each night a stenographer packs a brief
case full of letters to be answered and docu-
ments requiring action. This package rep
resents the overflow of work-work which is
unfinished because the conferences of the
day left no time for it,
Somewhere in Washington
Next morning, at an unknown meeting
place outside the State, War and Navy
Building, Mr.. Baker meets one OF his stenor-
raphers and together they plunge into this
sea Of papers. In former days they used to
do this at an early hour in the Secretarys
office in the War Building. But soon it be-
came known that the Secretary could be
found in his private room at that time of
the day, and his seclusion was invaded The
only way to achieve absolute conce ntration
was to arrange for another place of fore
gathering somewhere in Washngton"
where telephones would not ring and the
knock OF the Dright-and early visitor would
not be heard upon the door
Nh. Baker goes through this session with
the thoroughness which marks everything
ne does. When the last long letter has been
read and answer dictated, he rises from the
Uttered desk. About 10 O'Clock he walks
into his office in the State, War and Navy
Building, with manner as serene as if he
had not already finished the equivalent OF
a days work.
Unlike the President, Secretary Baker
does not begin his day with round of golf
Or some other variety of exercise Some
months ago, Walter Camp came down to
Washington with mind full of anxiety for
the health Of the Cabinet officers. He went
around to Mr.. Baker and tried to enlice him
into class in gymnastics. He explained
the perls of ill-health, and the patriotic
duty of public official to swing clubs and
pull chest weights. Mr.. Baker listened po-
litely but he was not enticed

For Congress now has passed a
law to give us much more day;
we'll have an hour less sleep
each night, one more for work or
play. I'm glad the Solons have
got Wise to Mother Natures
plan, and that all the universal
laws can be revised by man. I'm
sure they soon will pass a law
whereby my corns are cured,
and whooping-pox and chicken
cough won't have to be endured;
another law to make it rain when.
ever farmers need, and maybe
then they Will revise the laws of
graft and greed. And if thew
only will repeal the gravitation
laws, and the other one we hear
so much about effect and cause;
and when they have attended to
these important things, and we
enjoy the blessings that their
great wisdom brings, perhaps
they then will make a law that
this great war is DER and Con-
gress will sine die adjourn for

before they quit, to recompense
their pains they'd give by law to
