to continuation in the governments
employ. It would stimulate endeavor,
by holding ont the assurance of pro-
motion based upon efficiency.
Under the present method there is
no system in promotions. Employees
who serve faithfully and capably are
overlooked in the occasional disttibu-
ton Of rewards of merit. Favoritism
is alleged in practically all the de-
partments and bureaus. Instances
are numerous of men and women with
excellent records as clerks waiting
for years with fading hopes for pro-
motions while newer corners are ad
vanced. This breeds discomfort and
bad feeling and weakens the morale
of the service.
Better pay, more assured promo
lions and a definite plan Of retire
ment are all needed by the govern
ment workers. The service itself
calls for these reforms, and the gov
eminent will benefit from them in
better work, greater contentment and
enthusiasm on the part Of the per-
sonnet and constantly maintained
standard of efficiency. Business or
CARNATIONS have long since learned
this lesson in practical economy and
have applied it with plainly advan-
tageous results. The government
should not longer lag behind.

Bossism and Leadership.

Mr.. Bryan is accused of being
GLOSSY" in his tone and terms; Of
carrying himself as if he "owned the
place" Has not a very confident and
downright spirit marked Mr.. Bryan's
leadership ever since it was estab-
lished,
The crown of thorns and cross of

just eligible to the presidency, and
bidding for the office-it fixed at
tenion instantly. His party in ma
tional convention had for several
days been looking for a leader. Here
the leader seemed to be. He talked
like a leader, and on the strength of
his talk he was made leader.
He next asserted himself on the
question of his running mate. to. the
extent of rejecting several names sub

Age Reports and Census Returns.

An astonishing lack Of understand
ing has caused a number of persons
temporarily residing in this city to
hold up the decennial census returns
of the capital. They have refused to
answer the questions propounded by
the government through the enumer-
ators, particularly those relating to
ages and places Of former residence.
The age problem in the taking of the
census is no novelty. It is a remark.
able fact that ten years ago over
1000 more "native white females Of
native parentage" between the ages
of fifteen AID twenty-four were re-
turned than there were in the CORE
spending class between the ages of
five and fourteen ten years previous.
The answer to this puzzle is that
many thousands of women dropped
back in their ages after passing TWEEN
ty-fve and joined the survivors Of
the five to fourteen class Of the
twelfth census. Hope was that this
tendency was passing. But the re-
luctance Of those who are delaying
the local returns by refusing to set
down their ages indicates that it is
still factor to be reckoned with in
statistical researches. The fact that
these census returns are strictly con-
fidential and the further fact chat
designation as residing in Washing
ton does not jeopardize any legal resi-

son do not appear to be sufficiently

mitted to him. They were of men
who had seen long party service. But
he did not think any Of them asso-
ciable with the campaign he was to
lead, and said so. His word pre-
vailed.
The effort to shelve Mr.. Bryan be-
tween his defeat in 1896 and 1900 was
continuous and strenuous, and enlist
ed the activity of the veteran demo-
Gratis of the east, headed by David B.
Hill and Arthur P. German. But Mr..
Bryan put his foot down in true
GLOSSY" style, and was renominated
by reclamation.
In 1908 he bossed the democratic
national convention at Denver over a
long distance telephone reaching from
his residence in Lincoln. He dictated
the platform and secured his third
nomination with ease. Nobody ap-
peared strong enough to say him nay.
Four years later he stood in the
limelight at Baltimore, Smiling and
confident" and bossed that conven-
ton. He all but drove Tammany out
of. the hall, and after putting New
York hors de combat nominated Mr..
Wilson.
So, from the outset and all along,
Mr.. Bryan's leadership has been Of
the militant kind, so to say. He has
not pussyfooted on anything toward
anybody. His record as to free sill
yer, prohibition, woman suffrage, the
railroads and. now as to the peace
treaty, shows clear.
Such is the man that Chairman
Cummings, Gov. Edwards and other
democrats of their way of thinking
have now to deal with. They are
booked for a stand-up fight at San
Francisco, and maybe later.
The situation is of the sort that
will inspire interest and speculation
right up to the gathering of the clans.
There may or may not be 3 split at
San Francisco, or after the conven-
ton has acted; but some very nice
adjustments will be necessary if team
work between Mr.. Bryan and demo-
Gratis who oppose him is to be Sc
cured.
