Postal Workers Sick Leave.

A ruling by the Post Office Depart
ment that the sick leave juAt granted
to postal workers under a new statute
shall include Sundays is in sharp dis.
tinction to the practice heretofore
generally observed in the departments
with reference to leaves Of an kinds.
The inclusion Of Sundays has not thus
far obtained elsewhere, or in the cleri.
cal establishment of the Post Ofkce
Department. The new statute does not
specify one way or the other, but il
would seem to have been only just 10
follow the practice in establishing this
new system. An equitable interpreta.
ton Of the Law demands that in the
extension, of the sick leave privilege
to the postal workers the prevailing
method Of computation be followed
The hope is that this ruling, which has
naturally caused indignation among
the postal workers, will be rescinded
in favor Of the prevailing practice Of
not counting Sundays as part of any
form of departmental leave.

must be stronger than ever. The rank
and fle of the people on the cont
nent have not only in the past few
years heard much more about the
country than ever, but have had per
sonal experience Of it's bounty. Ameri-
can money in great sums has gone fat
to relieve the distresses produced by
the war that otherwise would have
taken an appalling toll.
The gates of Amefica will probably
not be closed. Such action Would tell
too heavily against our history and
our professions. But they should be
more carefully guarded than ever. The
world is in an unprecedented ferment,
and we already have troubles enough
of our own. We should not add to
them by admitting to our shores agi-
tators and trouble makers who having
exercised their energies in their home
countries are eager to exercise them
in a new field.
This question will be a pressing one
for the next Congress to consider, and
there should be decision on it COM
mensurate with its importance. There
is still room in America, but only for
the right sort of people.

HcCombs Of New York.

Probably no men has returned from
San Francisco with a livelier sense of
satisfaction than William F. McCombs
of New York, formerly chaifman of
the democratic national committee. He
went to the convention an ardent Cox
man, and assisted in all the maneuver.
ings that led up to the governors
nomination.
Mr.. McCombs, it will be remembered,
was an ardent Wilson man at, and be-
fore, the Baltimore convention eight
years ago. He was member of the
group, headed by Col. George Harvey,
that saw in Woodrow Wilson the quail
tiles Of political leadership and en-.
tered him in the race for the presi.
dency. :" .''7- 49,.
After the Baltimore nomination had
been secured for Mr.. Wilson, Mr.. Nc
Combs took charge of. the campaign,
and was . great force in its conduct.
T Then something happened. Just
what, has never been authoritatively
told Mr.. Wilson upon taking office
rendered Mr.. McCombs the French mis-
sien,- which is considered prize in
the diplomatic line. But the place
was declined, and the intimacy that
had existed between him and Mr.. Will
son came to an end.
Since then Mr.. MeCombs has "cut
out" politics for the practice of law
except for an unsuccessful race he
made for the Senate. If the demo
Gratis are successful in November will
Mr.. McCombs return to peliticsi Will
he share in the reward that in that
case is expected to go to New York for
its support at San Francisco
Col. Harvey has become a .epabli-
can. He supported Mr.. Hughes in
1915, and was prominent in the con-
fabulatiens at Chicago last month which
resulted in the nomination Of Senator
Harding.

&ssolute Leads-No Race!

.kesolute's long lead in the second
race for the Americas cup when the
time limit elapsed within which the

Sir Thomas Upton, still cherish the

The Rising Tide.

The tide of immigration is rising.
At the single port of New York last
week over thirteen thousand aliens
were inspected and passed. Supt
Baker Of that station is quoted as say
ing:

rush as this since the summer JUS,
preceding the outbreak of the Euro.

days it was nothing to talk about when
we had $4,000 or $1,000 week There

At. HOME.


Expectation is 1ive1ier than ever
now of books by Mr.. Wilson, Col.
House and Mr.. Lansing on the sub
jeet of the peaee conference. Col.
House and Mr.. Lansing are free from
public cares, and Mr.. Wilson will be
free after March 4 next. Mr.. VIII
SON is practical historian, Col House
Ia facile writer and Mr.. Lansing
trained lawyer. So all three will be
at home and at their ease with pen
in hand. :
They are not in agreement, it ap-
pears, about the value of the confer
ence's output. Mr.. Wilson is the only
one Of the trio to give it unqualified
Endorsement. In laying the treaty be-
fore the Senate, and, later, in many
addresses from the stump, he asked
for ratification in the precise form in
which the pact had been signed. He
gave his approval to all that had been
dome at the conference table.
Mr.. Lansing has been quoted az DIFF
fering sharply with Mr.. Wilson as to
the league of nations, It was his
opinion as expressed in Paris that if
the American people knew what the
league "et them in for" they would
never approve it. And, according to
popular belief, it was the expression
of that opinion which really led to the
retirement of Mr.. Lansing from the
lState Department.
Col. House is now in Europe, and,
having no public business in hand,
has recently expressed himself briefly
las to the work in Paris with which he
was connected. He, like Mr.. Lansing,
held views that conficted with Mr..
Wilson's, and, like Mr.. Lansing again,
he is NO longer visitor at the White
House.
In these circumstances contributions
in extended form from these men to a
subject Of such worldwide interest as
that Of the peace conference would be
certain Of fattering receptions every
where.

The Zoning Plan Hearing.

A public hearing on the plans tenta-
lively adopted by the zoning commits
sioners will be held August 9, at which
opinions may be expressed by citizens
generally on the question Of the ap-
plieation Of the new law. The tcnta-
tive plans have not the quality Of per-
manence. but have been put forth
merely to secure start.
1t is necessary to begin this impor-
tant work of dividing the District into
sections for the transaction Of business
and to classify the character Of bust
ness enterprises. 1t is unavoidable in
making this beginning to disturb some
present conditions. The whole purpose
of the law is to provide for the future
growth and development Of the CAPT
tai, to prevent haphazard incursions
into residential districts and to assure
the greatest possible convenience to
the community.
If the law had itself fixed the zones
and boundaries and classes of business
there would now be no opportunity for
the people to express themselves. The
case stands, indeed, in the best possible
shape for the public interests. The
commissioners in charge of the execu-
ton of the law have, after a survey
covering several months, adopted a
tentative schedule and map and now
submit This project to the community
for approval or disapproval. If valid
objection is made to any feature it
win be taken under consideration.
There is one danger in such a sub
mission. That is that the immediate
personal interest of the individual
property owner may obscure his vision
of the broad general welfare. If his
own dwelling is affected he may not be
able to recognize the need of q rule
which permits an, invasion of his
neighborhood, in order to provide for
future business requirements in that
area -
Washington has grown heretofore in
. hit-and-miss manner. without rule or
guidance. Certain streets have been
gradually taken over for business BY
|initially slight and steadily advancing
changes. Mainly these business move
ments have been along streets occu-
pied by ear lines. But there has been
NO system. Now it is proposed to con-
fine the business development to Ger.
tain definitely limited areas, with far
view ahead, and to insure this method
Of growth, which will be for the bene-
fit of all, it is necessary that some pres
emit sacrifices be endured. These, in
deed, may soon prove profitable.
