and such as, proving efficient, have
been retained in their service.
"It would say that the Government
is not in a position to experiment
with untried men or to undertake to
work out, in it's service, men who
have failed to make good elsewhere.
"It would say that the old theory
that to the victors belong the spoils'
is antiquated and demoralizing, and
means nothing short of waste and in
efficiency in the Government service.
"It would say that the test of a
mans qualification for public office
is the measure of his efficiency, con-
sidered always in connection with his
personality and characteristics test
to apply alike to those now in Gov
ernnient service and those to be
drafted into the service.
1T would say that both the person:
mel and ability of Government en-
ployees must be brought up to even
a higher standard than the very high
standards obtaining in such great or
ganizations as the United States Steel
Corporation, the Standard Oil Com
pany and the Pennsylvania Railroad,
and thasfhis is easily possible, be-
cause the Government alone has the
moral right to commander to its SER
vice from the ranks of all business
and industry. the most efficient of
their forces.
"This is about the position The New
York Herald would take in respect
of Government employees and in
respect Of place hunters generally.
Moreover, it would so simplify its
work as President of the United
States that it would have time for the
really big interests of the Government
for it would turn over to the heads of
departments the selection of their
forces, saying, 1T is up to you to get
your own crews, and with your own
crews I shall hold you to a strict ac-
countability for results"

STATES SENIORS
STAGE ARGUMENT
Dial and Smith in Good Humored Col
loquy on Floor About Mill
Dividends

Washington, Dec. 21.-South Car
olin's Senators had lively but good
humored colloquy in the Senate this
afternoon over the question of cotton
mill profits.
Senator Dial arose to remark that
he had been absent some days ago
when Senator Smith was quoted as
saying that New England and South
ern mills had paid 800 per cent divi-
dendS on an average.
MIR. Dial declared that he knows of
no mill making 800 per cent per an
mum and doubted if there had ever
been any. He could not believe that
Senator Smith had been correctly in
formed.
The junior Senator also took ex-
ception to the quoted statement Of his
colleague that the cotton mills had
reduced the price of their goods only
33 1-3 per cent. Mr.. Dial said that
goods which last summer sold at 26
cents a yard were now selling at s
cents, and that many mills are piling
UP goods in warehouses without find
ing market at any price, merely to
keep their labor employed and that
mill stocks generally had taken. a
great slump. Mr.. Dial pointed out that
many of the. big: dividends declared
by the mills were stock dividends. not
increasing the value Of the owners
holdings. He said he himself had some
mill stock which had suffered in the
recent decline. -
Senator Smith admitted that his
statement as to the mills had been in
a way inaccurate from a statistical
point of view and he said that al
though he did not himself own any
cotton mill stock he was friendly to
the great mill industry of South Caro-
lima and had never meant to discharge
or attack it. Senator Smith did not
agree with his colleague about stock
dividends not. meaning much profit to
the stockholder, and he read letter
from the Federal Trade Commission
showing that large dividends had been
declared by certain mills, whose
names he withheld. =. Dc" =:
. Senator Dial called attention to the
fact that this information was, not
later than last spring. Senator Smith
admitted this, but stuck to: the point
which he declared he had been trying

GOVERNMENT WINS IN
ELECTIONS OF SPAIN

Madrid, Dec. 20.-First reports
from the general elections held in
Spain yesterday indicate a govern
ment victory. Unofficial estimates
are that the majority for the mon
archists parties will be a large one.
The Socialists attribute their
poor showing in the industrial CEN
ters to the recent campaign of syn
dicalists against the workers parti-
cipation in the elections. Although
voting is compulsory, tens of thou
sands of workers simply cast blank
ballots: ~::,-.i....
The city of Madrid returned six
monarehists and two Socialists.

PROPOSED TARIFF
BRINGS CONFUSION
Democrats Now Impaled On Prongs
Of Dilemma-Farmers Ask
Action

Washington, Dec. 21.-Democrats
in congress, especially those from
Southern states are deeply embar-
rassed. They are confronted by the
necessity of apparently breaking
with the farmer or apparently re-
nouncing the principle Of the Demo-
cratic party which declares that any
protection, save for revenue, is OBJ
noxious.
This morning members from the
South weer about agreed to support
the emergency tariff bill which
creates a virtual embargo against
the IMPORT of agricultural products.
The West wants the bill because it
protecs wheat, wool and livestock.
The Southern farmer petitions for
the passage of the bill because it
protects his peanuts against the
oriental product.
Southern Democrats justified
themselves in. conviction that the
bill was temporary and Of nature
identical with anti-dumping legisla-
tion. They could. not understand
how their support would constitute
remuneration of their hatred for
protection as a permanent policy.
Tonight, however, Southern Demo-
Gratis are in the air, for Senator
Harrison of. Mississippi in an i'm
passioned address in the senate, de-
clared that the Democratic party
could not afford to stultify itself
and that the manufacturing East
was handling a sop to the farmer
for the purpose Of demanding pro-
lection for itself on a scale equally
as high. The Democrats Of the SEN
ate, after a caucus this morning,
tentatively agreed to oppose the bill
certainly to- interfere with Republi-:
can plans to rush it to passage prior
to Christmas. There is a disposition
however, to await the return to
Washington Of Senator Underwood,
who was called home on account Of
the death Of his grandfather. The
views of the Democratic leader, the
tariff expert Of thep arty, will pre-
vail among Democrats, it is ndica:
ted. N member of the South Caro-
lima delegation authorized a state
ment for publication. -,

A JOYOUS REVEL
Loud-Pedal Musical Comedy With
Harem Beauties a Jazzy
Jambouree

"Dardenella," that "jim-jam gem
of a jazzy jambouree and riotous
feast of revelous joy" delivered
much more than the usual 2.75 per
cent. of promise in performance at
the Armory theater last night. 1t de-
livered some more this afternoon
and will make it's final delivery to-
night. 1t is a musical comedy with
the soft pedal muffled.
Harry Manners, baked bean
salesman, lets his millionaire uncle
in Morocco do all the thinking for
his tomorrow while he thinks only
of wedding the daughter of Josiah
Pettibone, the pickle king, with a
weakness for women other than his
militant wife. He has an especial
weakness for a vaudeville star who
drifts to the same seaside hotel.
The militant wife, who is also a
militant mother, has made choice
for her daughter. Immediate and
drastic action is indicated to the
bean salesman and he consults the
pickle father. He lays before him a
hypothetical case and the dad ad-
vises elopement and offers to fl
nance the job. Then comes the mil
lionaire's favorite wife. Dardanella,
to announe the death of the uncle
and his wish that his nephew should
marry the widow who alone knows
where the uncle's wealth is hidden.
Following on her delectable heels is
the Sultan's emissary with a four
foot snicker-snee whose object is to
sequester the fortune for his royal
master.
The scorned favorite refuses to
hand over the ducat. So the nephew
stages the elopement to the great
discomfort and final reconciliation
of the pickle king and his militant
spouse and the whole family sets
sail for the East. All adopt the garb
of the country in their sleuthing af-
ter the gold but are identified by
the emissary with the snickersnee
and are marked for boiling oil when
help arrives.
There is plenty of action and
changing locale into which the
choruses, musical numbers and
speciality stunts fit naturally. From
the opening at the Hotel Cheautham
at Bevo on the sea, near Beer with
its artistic sunken garden and its
colored bell hop, to the streets of
Morocco and the uncle's harem,
there is not a dull moment. And that
same bell hop, with ambitions to be
a detective (Tom Dayton) is some
hop. Harland Hogland, the nephew:
H. C. Overton, the pickle king, to
whom falls the heft of the comedy;
Louise Carter, his wife; Miss Rita
the daughter; Arthur
Jennings, the Sultan's hired man,
and last but not least in the direct
action of the comedy, Miss Elsie Es-
monde, the winsome Dardanella,
are well cast and all have fair sing
ing voices. Possibly the strongest
song hits are Zone Little Girl"
There's Magic in a Smile," "Hold
Me-" 'The Master Key" and "Mam-
my's Arms" The three musical en-
tertainers, Hyland, Grant and Hy-
land, make a hilarious getaway and
the inspirational dances of Francis
Palimnda give the artistic sense an
opportunity for exercise.
Thomas Harding, who wrote the
book, and Addison Evans, who is re-
sponsible for the music, were large
