CARE FOR THE DISABLED.

1t is generally accepted that in some
form or other substantial compensa-
ton will be awarded by congress to
all those who served in the late war.
Discussion as to ways and can
causes delay, and no one can saw how
long 1t will be before an acceptable.
plan is worked out. But the difficult
ty attending the framing of a general
compensation bill ought not to be per-
mitted to stand in the way of imme-
date provision for all those who were
disabled in the service, and who, for
this reason, have claims which can
not in common decency be disregard
ed or delayed.l The urgency of this
matter was effectively put ina recent
statement by former President Taft:
1T Is iAconceivable,' he said, that
any n in congress or in the execu-
tive department should not regard
this matter as an imperative, and
pressing e%xigency. It is. more than Is

THE EXPERT IN GOVERNMENT.

'Inere Is good reason TO Oel1eve ina
Josephus Daniels has been very far
from the ideal secretary of the avy
But in the emphasis which he places
on the importance Of retaining civil
ian control of all the departments of
the government he is right, and the
views which he expresses are those of
the American people, outside of a very
small group of professionals who have
lost their n of perspective in the
minute attention which they have CIV
en- to the affairs of their w
tons.
There is a body Of opinion, small
but active, which, if formulated into
a complete system, would require all
the affairs Of government to be in the
hands of experts, professionals, each
of whom has become thoroughly ia
miliar with the business which he is
to transact. Thus the military affairs
Of the nation should be in charge Of
a professional military man, of the
navy in the hands of an experienced
naval officer, and SO on, eac depart
ment being headed by an acknowledge
ed authority in the technic of that de-
partment.
Such. a system would result in a
high degree of technical efficiency:
and it would result in the total sup
preston OF the spirit of democracy
and the creation Of a type Of govern
ment OF which the late government
of Germany afforded a conspicuous
example. Every department of gov
eminent would become professional
lied. and we should reach the concep-
tion that the people exist inS order to
contribute to the making of a perfect
machine, rather than whatever ma
chinery we have exists for the comfort
and convenience and the we'll being
Of the people.
The demand for this professional
system is, for obvious reasons, more
often noticeable in connection with
military and naval affairs than else
where. The trained soldier or sailor
takes pride in his profession, and he
resents the influence on 1t of the
bunSling' civilian. He can see how
much more precise and effective in
its operations his profession would be
II only professional men had the han
ding of it, n his very natural ten
dency is, toward the elimination of
civilian control, or its reduction to a
mere Formally.
Both these lines Of service are not
alone in this tendency. We find oc-
casionally the physician who places
greater stress on the traditions of his
profession than on the welfare of his
patient; the lawyer who pays greater
attention to the maxims of law than
to the eternal principles of truth and
Justice; the teacher who in his enthu-
siasm for the professional side of his
work, forgets that the child is a hu-
man being who is to be fitted for life
and not merely run through a mill;
and the church man who fails to
realize that the only justification for
the existence of any ecclesiastical sys-
tenn is that it may contribute to the
usefulness and happiness of human
ity.
Democracy nus shape its own
course. Democracy will blunder. In
order that it may blunder as little as
possible it must avail itself of the SER
vices of experts in all lines. But SUI
preme control must at AL times be
vested in those by whom and for
whom government, exists-the plain
people.
