buy all supplies for all the govern
ment offices. and all such activities
giving service to all government es-
Establishments. The public service de-
partment would also include a num-
Der of bureaus which would serve the
public generally rather than any spe-
cific portion of the people, such as
the Department of Agriculture. For
example. all the pension work of the
government would be consolidated
into one bureau in this new depart
ment, including the present pen
sion bureau, bureau of war risk
insurance and employees compensa-
tion commission.
Other existing establishments which
it is thought may be included in the
proposed new department OF PUBIC
service are: The bureau of engraving
and printing, the government printing
office. the bureau of standards, the
bureau of the census and new bu-
reau of statistics. 1t is proposed to
consolidate all statistical branches
of the government now engaged on
general work. But such specInc STA
tistical work as that of the immigra-
tion statistics, which are vitality a
part of the immigration service, would
not be divorced from that service Tne
idea is to consolidate into one statis-
tical unit for the entire governments
collection and dissemination OF all
non-administrative statistics
Education and Research.
Another proposed department on
which much thought is being eA-
pended is that of education and re-
search. Among the existing bureaus
and establishments that 1T is tenta-
lively planned to put into this new
department are: The bureau OF edu-
cation. the, Indian bureau. Howard
University, Columbia Institution for
the Deaf (Gallaudet College). the
governments share of the work OF
the Smithsonian Institution, some OF
the research agencies of the Depart
ment of Agriculture, including some
of the work of the bureau of chem
istry, and the Vocational Education
Board.
1t is proposed to put all the en-
eineering work of the government
into a. department of PUBLIC works.
which would include the geological
survey, the supervising architects
office, the bureau of. mines, the bu-
reau of public roads. the coast and
geodetic survey. the rivers and har-
bors improvements, the Alaska en-
gineering commission, the Mississippi
river debris commission, the reclama-
tion service and the water power
administration.

AS the Rambler walked or loitered
in the thick woods along the creek
his fancy drew for him picture of
the ancient mission. 1t was an i'm
perfect picture, and he knows this
as well as you know it, but it was the
best that he could do. You know how
little children often let their day
dreams build palaces and castles and
fill them with the most interesting
elfs. the most beautiful fairies and
the funniest-looking goblins. AS they
grow older the girls dream of palaces
built of ivory. pearl and shining, blaz-
ing gems; of golden chariots drawn
by horses of unbelievable speed and
size, and of robes of wonderful tex
ture and infinite price. The boys
world; of being firemen and scaling
towering walls. extinguishing impos-
sible flames and bearing a fond maid
en- to safety while all the townspeo-
pie cape and marvel; of being a master
policeman who unravels with sin
gle thought the deepest plot and the
meshiest web that any wondrous
wicked man ever laid or spun; of be-
ing a soldier before whose flags and
bugles, musketry and cannon the
strongholds of the enemy crumble, as
did the walls of Jericho at the blast
y
tor and as Claud Melnotte making
every woman in the monster audience
sigh with rapture and dote with
adoring eyes on the hero as he reads
the lines. NAY, dearest. nay; if thou
would'st have me paint the home to
which. could love fulfill its prayers.
this hand would lead thee, listen; or
as Hamlet, making everybody shiver
and erupt in goosehesh as he cries,
angels and ministers of grace de-
fend us; be thou a spirit of health or
goblin damned? Bring with thee airs
from heaven or blasts from help; or
as black or brown or tan Othello
move to weeping pity the great con-
course with the lines: "Most potent,
grave, and reverand seigniors, my
very noble and approved good mas
terS."
dull and muddy -mettled rascals, carry
this dreaming habit through their
lives. Generally they think they have
become more practical beings and
their dreams take on sordid hue.
The girl dreams of a millionaire lover
who has made his million without
grimy, sweaty work; who has made it
in some happy-easy fashion while
playing golf or tennis. dancing, driv-
| ing a motor, riding polo or the like.
She dreams of having more servants
than her neighbors, finer home than
her friends and gowns more gorgeous
than her rivals. The man dreams of
dollars; Of making killing by some
big stroke; by buying a million shares
of 10-cent stock on a shoestring
margin and letting it go at a thousand
dollars share after pyramiding
every time it moved up a hundred dol
lars; or of buying foreclosed farm
at 81 an acre and cutting it up, not
into building lots, but into building
sites" at 81 a foot; or of getting a
government contract on the cost-plus
plan; or of a patent for transmitting
moonshine into federal reserve notes
of unbounded denomination, or some
thing like that.
| Well, the Rambler's fancy on this
occasion was not drawing pictures of
fairies, or goblins. or fame. or wealth.
He was dreaming picture of bar

x everything is set for the po-
litical sunset in the Golden
West, where sunsets are no
novelty.
The time-fuse for the democratic
fireworks is due to be touched off at
sunrise tomorrow, barring earth
quakes. armistices, cyclones or other
contingency. for which Congress gets
the blame.
The parquet floor a the Auditorium
has been polished up to the last notch.
The skylights have been reglazed and
the roof has been calked to keep in
the noise and keep out the rain. Every
swallow has been eliminated from the
Auditorium caves, for in the matter
of swallows there is to be no COM
petition at this convention. Bill Bryan
Will see to that,
The homing pigeons. which have
been using the attic for garage,
have sought quieter home, where
there is no objection to children. dogs,
victrolas or other luxuries. The DEM
ocrats are about to coronate queen.
The narrowing details, as the victims
are eliminated from the inquest. will
be awaited with much lifting of eye
brows and Struggling of shoulders.
All perennial tenants of the Audito-
rum have been elected by the land
lord-feld mice. spiders, waterbugs
and sparrows.
Rehearsals at French Lick were pro-
nounced a stunning success. Charley
Murphy was there with two trunks
of silk hats and it is rumored that
Tom Taggart has special carload
of extra scenery to be used in case
Col. Bryan is induced to accept the
nomination. If the colonel is not

tive time since Hector was a cub that

He's as bashful as a sunfiower, as re-

getting him to accept 1t, though, are

political faux pas of compromising on

presidential suspects of whom the
tongues are not wagging. These boys
are loved by their friends and haven't
got an enemy on earth. Represe nta-
tive Clark has been hard-boiled
democrat since the time when New
York city had only one postal clerk.
That postal clerk is still getting the
same salary and Champ is still tossing
off his democratic ballot-which
makes it unanimous.
Carter Glass, president emeritus OF
the Treasury Department, is no less
a democrat than any one else from the
state of Virginia. Down along the
Shenandoah they watch the rustic
swain from his early youth for pol1t1-
cal tendencies. If. anywhere along
his slice of bread whole or display
ing other republican earmarks, they
push him into the river and save him
from an ignominious career.
AS the republican autopsy revealed
and as the democratic rites threaten
to prove. June is the month of longest
days and tallest speeches. The stage
managers calculate it will take hours
to put up the candidates and the dele
gates figure it will take seconds to
knock 'em down. Everything will be
as merry as alimony bells!
Meanwhile, nothing has been left
undone for the comfort of the demo-
Gratis and the chagrin of the repub-
Hcans. A new set of acoustics has
been installed just behind the teach
er's pulpit A celluloid reflector has
been set up so she can see when the
pupils are making faces at her. A
gavel with an extension handle has
been provided so she can tap the dele
gates in the back row back to wake
fulness, and gum -shoeing or chewing
will be prohibited under fine or i'm
prisonment or both.
Outside the auditorium will be re-
volving door mats. If delegate can
stick on one of these while the ser
geant-at-arms frisks his pockets for
spirits de fermenti. he is eligible to
, proceed to the inner council. Inside
the works the populace will be en-
tertained by disappearing phono-
graphs, folding bath tubs, rotating or
chestras and recurring speeches. Any
one guilty of hiccoughing while a
| candidate is being eulogized will be
: penalized one-half Of l per cent

Vary Motives of British.

In the British. attitude there was
every shade of policy combined. The
most selfish and cold-blooded British
statesmen saw in the association
guarantee of British greatness and
perpetuation of that intellectual su-
premacy of Britons over Americans,
which was SO unmistakable at Paris.

Nv contrast Italy did not at any

We're like the treaty itself, obnoxious

and the italian problems have not yet
been settled. In the French case oniy
the people became anti-Wilson, whiie
the government took the opposite
course. In Italy people and govern
ment went together and unhappiiy
became not merely anti-Wllson, oul
measurably anti-American.
The same was true of Rumanla ana
measurably the case with Poland.
