history of the administrative depart
ments. 1t is the climax of long eff
fort to put the government on basis
of sound business in the administra-
ton of its affairs. Had this retire
ment system been adopted twenty
wears ago the public service would have
been greatly benefited. Probably ere
now the department offices would
have been systematized by some meas
ure of what is now known as reclassi
fication.
Retirement is but one step in the
process of public service reorganiza-
ton. Now must come an enactment
which will standardize duties and COM
pensations and systematic promo
tions. This process was undertaken by
a commission named by Congress,
which made a voluminous report upon
which no action has been had. Unre
hitting efforts should be made to Sc
cure early legislation carrying into eff
feet the principle of uniformity in the
departments, whether the commissions
specific recommendation are adopted
or details are changed, or postponed
for further consideration.
For those veteran employees who
have now gone into retirement there
is a feeling of warmest congratula
ton and of hope for their comfort and
contentment. Some of them will, per-
haps, be pinched by necessities in their
more straitened circumstances. For
them ii is regretted that the scale of
compensation is not more liberal. For
all there is sense of gratitude for
duty faithfully performed during many
years in a high spirit of sincere en-
deavor in the public service.

Not Forgetting Congress.

The candidates for President are
not forgetting the Sixty seventh Con
gress. Mr. Harding is keeping in
formed about the races for Senate and
House in the different states. At
South Bend Thursday Gov. Cox put in
a good word for Thomas Taggart, who
wants to supplant Mr.. Watson in the
Senate.
The man who enters the White
House next March will be very much
handicapped unless the new Congress
is of his political complexion. Much
will be expected of him-more prob
ably than he can perform even with
friendly control established on Capitol
Hill
But with the enemy intrenched
there he will have to negotiate in an
exceedingly expert way in order to
accomplish anything at all. The. leg
islators may be expected to make the
most of any advantage they may pos
sess.
Fortunately, both presidential can
didates have had congressional ex-
perience. Some years ago Gov. Cox
served two terms in the House, and at
time favorable for the education of
a member in legislative matters.
Doubles he profted fully by his OPP
portunity.
Mr.. Harding has been a member of
the Senate a little more than FIVE
years. and his committee assignments
have been of kind giving him in
sight into much of the important bust
/ ness of that body. And they have
been years full of business.
So that whether Gov. Cox or Mr..
Harding takes Office in March, the new
man in the White House will have a
practical knowledge of congressional
Irrcedure, and be served by it to his
own and the country's advantage in his
dealings with the lawmakers.

Departmental Retirements.

Yesterday several hundred employees
of the government who have reached
the age of retirement under the new
law were placed on the pension roll
and left the active service. These de,
partment workers have been in most
cases engaged on public duty for many
years. Some of them have approached
the half century mark of actual serv-
ice. Some of them are today almost
a. efficient as they were two score
years ago, while others have naturally
failed in their capacities and have been
held on the rolls out of recognition
of their faithful performances of the
past.
The spectacle of this large number
of men and women leaving the active
government service for retirement is
a sad one, and yet it is nevertheless
gratifying. It marks Q new era in the

functioning because of business con-
ditions at home and abroad. There
has been no need of special activity.
Tariff revision has not been pressing.
But as soon as business begins to show
distinct stand toward normal, sta
tistics bearing on the whole tariff
question will be gatherable, and pre-
sumably will be gathered. For tariff
revision is coming, and when taken up
will require all the time that Congress
can give it.
1t is no secret, however, that in
case of Mr.. Harding's election, both
the congressional leaders of his party
and the business interests of the coun-
try will move for new commission.
The request will not be based on the
record of the present commission, but
on the fact that the times have changed
since the present commission was or
ganized; that the tariff question, as
have many other questions, has been
affected by the war, and that those
who are to assist Congress in the task
of revision should be selected by the
new President and confirmed by the
new Senate. The mandate, in case of
republican victory in November, will
call for revision on protection lines,
and the controlling agencies in the
execution of the mandate should all
be of a piece, so to say.
These commissionerships are desir-
able places, and if changes are de-
creed we shall probably see lively
contest conducted for them

Poland at Minsk.

Russia's terms to Poland as stated
at the armistiee conference at Minsk
are those of conqueror. When they
were framed and first stated, Russia
was virtually in that position. But
upon the presentation at Minsk the
military situation has sufficiently
changed on the Polish front to justify
expectation by the Poles of modi-
fication. 1t is, of course, premature
to regard the Polish offensive, which
has driven back the bolshevik lines
many miles and relieved Warsaw of
the danger of immediate capture, as
of permanent effectiveness. The Rus
slams may "come back" even as the
Poles have recently done. But until
they do there is reason for the Polish
commissioners at Minsk to adopt an
attitude of greater independence than
heretofore.
These terms presented at Minsk,
while agreeing to Polish independence
and liberty and renouncing any form
of contribution, practically put Poland
in role of a dependent nation. The
Polish army is to be reduced to 10000
men, Importation of all war ma
terials is to be prohibited and the pres
ent Polish army is to be demobilized
and its arms turned over to the Rus
sian and Ukrainian troops. These, be
it noted, are but the terms of the armi-
stice. The terms of peace are still to
come.
Russian pledges to respect Poland's
liberty and independence are to be
reekoned in terms of Russia's relia-
bility. Both the American and the
French governments have recently in
a most formal way impugned the good
faith of the soviet government of Rus
STA and noted the fact that it has
openly declared its purpose to disre-
gard obligations and promises. There
could be no possible guarantee for
Poland under armistice terms of this
character With her armies demobil-
lied, her arms surrendered and a
"neutral zone7 interposed between the
two fronts, Poland would be at the
mercy of this faithless organization at
Moscow, available to be seized and
looted at Russian convenience.
Thus the change in the military sit
uation is of the most vital importance
to Poland apart from the saving of
the capital from bolshevik occupation.
Poland is now in position to post
pone the Minsk parley, or, if it is con-
tinued, to make far better terms than
those that have just been proposed
There is no present indication that
the Polish offensive has weakened, while
the Russian forces appear to be thor.
oughly demoralized Wrangel's sue
cesses on the Dnieper are calculated
to prevent the reinforcement of the
soviet troops in Poland and encour,
age the hope that the soviet govern
ment at Moscow may soon be itself
seeking peace and asking terms.

Georgia.

Senator Hoke Smith and atom" Wat
son are contending again for the favor
of the Cracker democracy. They con-
tended several months ago for in
structions for the San Francisco nomi,
nation. But Attorney General Palmer
entered the contest, and at the ma.
tional convention was awarded Geor-
gia's vote. 1t was bitter dose for
the two Georgians, but there was moth
ing to do but swallow it.
Now they are contending for the
democratic nomination for senator
Mr.. Smith wants a third term, while
Mr.. Watson thinks he is entitled to
a term. There are two other en-
trants, but interest-certainly outside
interest-centers in the two men
named
In the contest for presidential in
structions both Mr. Smith and Mr.. Wat
son were listed as anti-Wilson men
Mr. Smith as senator had voted fol
reservations to the peace treaty, while
Mr.. Watson had been an open critic
of both the President and the admin
istration. Hence the Palmer candi
dacy. The Presidents friends insisted
that he was entitled to representation
in the matter. Mr.. McAdoo anG
Champ Clark were requested to allow
the use of their names, but both de
clined.
Mr.. Smith and Mr.. Watson are sup
porting Gov. Cox. They have ac
cepted the San Francisco platform
They are democrats, and as such arr

Mr.. Smiths term in the Senate ha.

tanned the prestige of the state in tina
