Another Naval Roosevelt.

Roosevelt, assistant secretary

the most frequently recorded in the
annals OF the Navy Department For
Rresident-elect Harding announces the
selection OF Theodore Roosevelt, jr, to
the position once held by his father
and lately vacated by his cousin,
Franklin. The propriety of the selec-
tion is obvious. Young Mr.. Roosevelt
has inherited many Of his fathers
Qualities. He is vigorous and takes
q keenly intelligent interest in public
affairs. His father had no particular
aptitude for khe naval post to which he
was assigned by President Mckinley.
He had been, interested mainly in civil
service reform before then, but he de-
veloped for the naval position a quail
fhcation for which the country was
soon to be warmly grateful. When the
war with Spain broke 1t was found
that the assistant naval secretary had
been most efficiently busy in prepara-
ton, and the ease with which the Span
ish sea power was crushed was due
in large measure to Mr.. ROOSEVELT s
forethought and practical prepared
ness. And during the great war Frank
lin Roosevelt was himself also most
helpful in the administration of the de-
partment. The hope is that there will
be no war to test the mettle Of the

Inauguration Weather.

If the usual program of Inaugural
/ ton ceremonies were planned for
, March there would now be the keen
poets for that day. Usually for week
before March 4. in Inauguration years,
the official weather maps are scanned
closely with a view to determining the
chances for clement day. Rising
storms are noted with concern. Lows
on the map are observed from issue to
issue, to ascertain their probable
courses. The natural weather signs
are studied with more than normal
interest. All this because at this sea-
son of the year there is large chance
of climatic ructions and a day such as
that in 1912 is to be dreaded as
calamity, while one such as that eight
years ago is to be welcomed as a bless
ing.
But now there is no more concern
over the kind Of day March will be
than on any ordinary occasion. No
body likes blizzard, and, of course.
nobody wants one on March 4 any
more than on March /, or February
27. But if blizzard should come next
Friday, or If the day should be chill
! and drear, or rainy and unpleasant,
there will be no very keen distress
on the score Of the spelling of a great
| outdoor spectacle for which immense
numbers have Travelled from afar.
Yet some thousands of people who
wish to see the actual taking of the
oath at the Capitol will be discom-
moded and the city will be less at
tractive to the visitors than usual.
The discarding of the elaborate out
door ceremonies attendant upon the
inauguration does not lessen, however,
the reason for change of the date
Of the transfer of executive authority.
1t does not follow that the program
has been permanently changed in the
direction of simplicity. If Mr.. Harding
| is reelected he may himself decide
four years hence to follow the old Gus.
/ tom and permit the provision of fea.
lures accompanying the taking Of the.
oath that will interest and inspire a.
multitude of Americans from all over
the country. 1t is desirable, therefore,
that the subject Of the possible change
Of date of the ceremony should be
kept alive, whatever the weather next
Friday and whatever the prospect of
future preferences on the part of the
chief personages in these affairs.

American Solidarity,

Stephen Graham, an English writer,
who has recently been travelling in
America, tells his friends at home
that In the event of war between the
United States and Japan the latter
country will find a valuable ally in
the American negroes
Really. This man recalls the Span
ish writer who made a tour of this
country when relations between
America and Spain over Cuba were
becoming strained. and advised his
friends at home that, in the event of
war. the southern states would OBJ
serve the conflict with Indifference
and allow the northern states to do
all the fighting.
After war was declared. among the
first men to offer their services to
President Mckinley were prominent
southerners: and Gen. Joe Wheeler.

Concealed Weapons.

Judge McMahon declares that he is
determined to make the law against
carrying concealed weapons mean
something to the offenders. He sen.
fenced a 'gun-toter" yesterday to
serve $50 days in Jail. That kind of
sentence will go far toward breaking
up the practice Of carrying deadly
weapons.
But unfortunately it does not go far
enough. Not one in a hundred pisto,.
carriers is ever caught with the
goods" A person accused of this of.
fense is usually one who has been ar
rested on some other charge and who
on being searched, is found to have a
weapon on his person. Prosecution
for carrying concealed weapons is thus
merely by-product Of police work.
The real safeguard against promiscu
Gus gun-carrying lies in preventing the
gun-carrier from getting the gun. That
can be accomplished only by making it
impossible for him to buy a weapon
unless he first gets a permit, not a
permit to carry the weapon, but a
permit to obtain one. Naturally a per-
son. who secures a gun-carrying per.
NIT, which is now possible in certain
cases of proved probable need or as.
sured danger, is entitled to purchase
the weapon which the law says he may
carry. But there are hundreds of
others who want to get guns who do
not ask permission, many of them
realizing that If they asked they would
be refused, properly. These are the
ones who are to be checked.
Make it impossible for any person to
get gun who does not prove his need,
and the number of pistol crimes will
diminish materially. The way to do
this is to subject to severe penalty the
person who sells a gun without the
presentation Of permit. Meanwhile.
it is to be hoped that the Police Court
will continue to give the limit Of the
law to those who are caught with un.
permitted guns on their persons.

standard of efficiency and diligence is
high. If there are spare moments, be.
tween items Of work, it is rather to
the credit of the young women that
they should occupy them with some
useful task. however frivolous the ma
terials may appear to be.
II there are too many clerks in the
government offices the fault lies not
with the clerks, nor even perhaps with
the superiors, but with Congress. Plans
for a reorganization lie now before
the two houses, for consideration. If
the government work is overmanned,
the chance is offered in the pending
measures to reduce it to the basis of
the maximum efficiency. If Congress
wants Uncle Sam to be a severe task
master it has but to command him to
reduce his force and to get the maxi
mum out of every individual.
1t is not altogether wise to take up
all the slack" in any system of cler-
ical organization. One hundred per
cent efficiency does not come from 100
per cent occupation. The force that
works steadily. with occasional brief
intervals for relaxation, will get more
results than one that works under
pressure, with no time for breathing
and rest. Every employer Of labor
knows the value of the pause in the
days drive. If the departmental

Hungary to Strike at Reds.

Bolshevism may be credited with
one good deed if we are to believe
the report of the London Posts vi
emma correspondent which declares
Hungary ready to forget old quarrels
and unite with Poland to face the
red offensive predicted for this spring.
The dispatch says:
''Dr. Gratz. the new Hungarian
foreign secretary. has emphasized the
necessity of joint action against the
common danger. and expressed the
wish that the forces raised against
bolshevism at the moment of danger
should not be weakened or neutral
ized by old enmities and hatred.
"Hungary, he thinks, had no cause
to despair, as time would make good
the great injustice contained in the
peace treaty and already recognized
as such by some who Joined in Gre
ating At. Dr. Gratz adds that he did
not abandon the hope that the West
Hungarian question would still be
settled SO as to avert q permanent
rift in friendly relations between
Hungary and Austria.
"Dr Gratz expresses regret that
Austria was suffering SO much un-
der the terrible burden Of the faulty
peace treaty. and said he anticipat-

way out Of her misery could be Of
fered to Austria. He speaks with

A RE Washfngtonians intelli-
~ gent? II the large number
n and wide range Of yues-
tions asked at the infor-
nation desk of the Public Library
are any indication. then the an
swer is that they are intelligent
to an exceptional degree.
Almost 1900 questions q year, it
IS estimated are answered at the
information desk in the lobby
alone, while the reference desks in
the main reading room. industrial
division and children's room keep
several assistants constantly busy
running down material.
1t is said that it is not necessary
to know a fact, but one must
know where to find it. Washing
tonians know where to look-that
is. they know that if they apply
at the Public Library some one
there will give them the book con-
tanning just the date. quotation.
address. recipe, formula. law, his
toric event, statistic or any OF. the
other thousand and one facts that
they need to know.
So they come trooping along
with their questions, ranging from
prehistoric animals to the latest
scientific discovery, and from eff
cheney to the abstract consider
alton of the subconscious mind.
X x X x
Roughly the questions divide
themselves into information re-
quired for personal or business
advancement; questions relating
to Washington, the municipality
and the nations capital, national
and international affairs. problems
OF education, art andsmusic inter-
ests and a miscellaneous assort-
ment of all kinds of historic,
geographic. sociological. mechan-
ical and literary questions.
Among the first group are a
large number of inquiries for
material with which to prepare
for examinations and promotions.
A teacher seeking appointment
in the public schools finds the nec-
essary information in regard to
teaching methods on her subject,
some one else secures material for
a thesis for the public health
service; fireman prepares him
self for promotion, and an appli-
cant for the consular service COL

Quired examinations.

There is a large socialistic and some

The example of Russia has thoroughly

succeeded in seizing the plant upon

driven forth eventually with blood

In none of the European countries

any decided tendency toward the Rus

The mass of the people, however, re.

In Russia itself there are repeated
signs of resistance to the soviet or
sanization. But these signs have ap-
peared in the past and are untrust-
worthy as tokens of a determined eff
fort of the people to free themselves
from the grip of the tyranny that has
grappled them. At present the main
hope for Russia appears to be that
sovietism will wear itself out. that the
people will finally learn that they are
being exploited for the benefit of a
few theorists and fanatics, who are
not concerned about the public well
fare, but are seeking to establish a
dictatorship in which they are SUI
preme. SO far this dictatorship has
been successful. but it is incnceivable
that it should endure permanently.
