An Armory Memorial.

In the omnibus public buildings
bill reported to the House yesterday
is an appropriation of 100000 for
memorial armory building i'll this
District. TO be used by the National
Guard and as clubhouse for veterans
visiting the capital. This is an in
crease Of 100000 over the appropria
ton reported to the House two years
ago this increase being due doubtless
to the higher cost of materials and
labor. With the amount named an
armory can be erected that will be
both credit to the National Capital
and suitable memorial to the men
who have served the country in the
war. The National Guard, now reor
ganized, must have home, and it
could have no better home than one
that serves as place of assembly to
those veterans of the great war who
may come to Washington. There are
possibilities in the project that
strongly appeal to the patriotic sense,
and it is to be hoped that the appro-
priation will be passed so that work
can begin quickly upon this structure,
needed for many years and now more
than ever necessary and desirable.

The Government Force.

During the month of January there
was a net reduction of 1897 in the
governments clerical force in this
city This is not as large an outflow
as was expected when the armistice
was signed, for the reason that GER
tain branches of the government.
notably the war risk insurance and
revenue bureaus, are in need of addi-
tional clerical assistance. These bu-
reaus have doubtless recruited from
the ranks of the diminishing offices,
but many of the workers in the latter
branches have preferred to return to
their homes, so that it has been i'm
possible to fill the needs of the still
expanding bureaus.
Doubtless, i'll the course of a few
months the equilibrium will have
boon fully restored and there will be
a return to new normal status here,
with a much larger government force
than ever. but subject to no material
fluctuations II is assured that the
governmental establishments at Wash
ingten will never be reduced to pre-
war proportions.
just as soon as possible there should
be some adjustment in the matter of
clerical duties and compensations.
With the return to stable conditions
it will be possible to standardize the
departmental service and duties and
nav. And to this end. commission
to inquire into the present conditions,
disclosing the discrepancies and diff
ferences existing in various depart
ments and bureaus, is an essential.
A retirement system. too, is requisite
TO the end of an effective department
organization. No matter how much
other business is before it, Congress
should at the present session, short
as ii is, pass some form Of civil re-
tirement law. the need of which has
been repeatedly indicated by those
responsible for the proper perform
anee of the public work.

The Districts Soldiers.

A table compiled by the War De-
partment shows that generally the
number of men furnished to the Army
by each state follows very closely the
obligations of the states in the matter
Of quotas. This was the direct result
Of the selective draft, which was based
upon the proportionate principle. 1t
is interesting to note that the District
of Columbia contributed 1880 men,
a greater number than those furnished
by the states Of New Hampshire, New
Mexico, Wyoming, Vermont, Delaware
and Nevada. This number credited to
the District includes all inductions
through the draft, all snlistments and
all access:ons from the District Ma
tional Guard, though it does not in
slude the men commissioned as ofieers
or appointed as field clerks. 1t does
not. of course. include the number of
d. strict men who went into the Navy
or the Marine Corps. 1t is to be as
sumed that it will not include men
recruited or enrolled here who were
to be placed to the credit of the states
of their legal residence. When all the
figures are compiled of army and
naval service it will be found that the
District filed its quota and more, and
it is well known that the District men
in all branches of the service made a
record performance in the discharge
Of their duty. of which this community
has ample reason to be proud.

The New York Republicans.

In New York, discussion in repub-
iican circles is playing around the sub
ject of a boss. 1t seems to be assumed
that the party needs such a person
"an organizer of victory"-a man who
knows the value of, and how o-run, a
! machine--a practical man of affairs,
not necessarily in office or seeking Of
fee, but one familiar with the state,
and popular with both politicians and
business men.
For years Thomas c. Plat filled this
bill, and had great success. At the
start he left the honors of Office to
others As time passed, however, he
caught the itch for Office himself, and
reached the United States Senate. he
was known as ''the easy boss" from
his amiable ways with his lieutenants
and his pleasant appeals to the rank
and file. He played the game stu
diously. and not as a plunger. His
victories always showed the results of
calculation.
Following Mr.. Platt came William
Barnes, ira younger man, but "a
born politician" Unlike Mr.. Plat, he
was n bit of a scrapper, and by his
spirit made some enemies. But he had
success, too.
His prestige as boss, however. was
considerably impaired by his clash
with Mr.. Roosevelt, in which he was
worsted. AS result, the seepter pass
ed from him. Since then the Office. so
to say, has remained vacant. The
proposition now is to fill 1t with a
man measuring up to the former
standards.
New York, as usual, aspires to re-
publican national leadership. There is
evidence that she hopes to cut an in
fiuential figure at the next republican
national convention Her plans have
been somewhat disarranged by the
death of Mr.. Roosevelt, to whom she
seemed to be turning again. Small
doubt exists that had he lived she
would have presented his name for
another presidential nomination.
But there are others. Gov. Whit
man has friends. Senator Wadsworth
is regarded by many as very likely
man. Charles E. Hughes is making no
sign, but is not out Of the calculations.
Mr.. Root, at seventy odd, insists on
being too old. though his judgment on
that point is not universally accepted.
New York will probably be on hand
with a candidate, and hence the inter,
est that attaches to this discussion
about new party manager to revive
the stir and success Of the Platt and
the Barnes days.

Teamwork in Public Affairs.

At Albany there is a pleasant Gus
tom we witness in this town. The
judges Of the highest court mako an
annual call on the executive. This
ceremony has just taken place.
Chief Justice Hiscock, a republican,
in presenting the courts compliments
on the occasion of the governors as
sumption of his Office, said:
"You have come to this Office espe-
cially well qualified and with a wide
experience, and we wish you such q
successful administration as may meet
the approval of the people Of the state,
irrespective of party"
To this Gov. Smith, democrat, re-
Piled:
@The makers of our constitution
rightly provided that there should be
three separate branches of govern
ment, the executive, legislative and
judicial. Already I have been assured
Of the hearty cooperation of the legis-
lature and / expect advice from the
court Of appeals. need it. By no
means do / feel I understand every
thing, so if you find me over around
the court of appeals some day will
be seeking advice, and will thank you
for it, just as I do for this visit"
A faint suggestion of "joiiy," of
course, on the governors part, but still
evidently a sincere expression, which
should carry far. Gov Smith is demo-
craft. The legislature in both branches
is republican. There is good deal Of
business to be transacted. There must
be cooperation, or failure. The leg
islature has pledged cooperation, and
the governor has accepted. A start has
just been made. 1t will be interesting
to watch developments; and the more
so for the reason that situation of
like character with regard to national
matters will shortly exist here.
Gov. Smith will be aided in his work
by the experience he acquired as a
legislator. He knows, and respects, the
legislative department. He will under
stand the advantages Of "shinnying on
his own side" And he will also know
how, should it become necessary, to
nudge the legislature about "shinnying
on its side" There need be no clash
to the disadvantage Of the state.
As President, Mr.. Wilson has dealt
only with Congresses of democratic
complexion and if be has appeared to
dominate them, the reason may be laid
somewhat at their door. They have
invited his guidance-have leaned upon
him. When needed, and solicited, he
has come to the rescue.
The Sixty-sixth Congress cannot be
expected to copy this example. Under
republican control it must, in political
matters, take its own course, and hold
to it. Still, in many matters, co-opera-
ton between it and the President will
be necessary to progress; and progress
In such matters should be made. But
teamwork will be impossible unless
each side comedies to the other the
full consideration it demands for it..

Representative Clifford Ireland had
as his guest last week Capt Eddie
Rickenbacker, Americas most famous
ace, who has twenty-six German
planes officially to his credit, although
he probably bagged nearer forty than
twenty six. He got, by the way, just
about one Hun airplane for every year
of his life-according to the official
reck oning.
Ireland was waiting in his ONCE at
the Senate Office building one day last
week for Rick" to come over from
the War Department, where the avn
ator had gone to give the generals,
colonies and other officers some point
ers on aviation. The representative
had some guests he was anxious Tor
Capt. Rickenbacker to meet.
Several minutes past the appointed
time went by, and still no Rick.
Just as the guests were wondering
whether or not they were going to
get to meet the famous slayer of German
aviators. a knock was heard on the
door, and in came the captain.
There was nothing to be discerned
in the countenance of Rickenbacker-
whose middle name" most appropri-
atelv. is Victor which would give
anv one the slightest inkling of the
many heroic adventures he has gone
through. Some people are fond of
writing about the deep. mysterious
look" of soldiers who have come back
from the front, but it is probable that
most of what they see is in their own
eyes. If you expect to find soldiers
ewes filled with the horrors of war, it
;s not very hard to find all you ex-
pect there.
II is hard to realize. looking at
man like Rickenbacker. that he has
been $4,000 feet above the earth, flying
and fiEhting for his life. daily en-
countering adventure beyond the
scope of most of us in two lifetimes.
All this passed through the minds OF
the guests as Capt Rickenbacker
hreesiiy came through the door into
Representative Ireiand's office that
sorry to be late" said the cap
"onIy ten minutes. Rick" smiled
Ireland in return. Then he grinned
