Americas Center of Science.

TN HIS latest book on Modern Democracies,"
Lord Bryce sees in this country a weakening
- of the spoils system which he rightly says was
"one of the weakest spots in the American govern
ment" He notes that the quality of our govern
ment employees, is steadily rising, assurance it
will be very gratifying to our own people to have,
and fact they have inadequately realized because
it has been a rather slow growth.
He also says: "As home of science Washing
ton is no whit behind London and Paris" state
ment which may, indeed, greatly surprise most
Americans. They have not, a rule, thought Of
this city a center Of science They have believed
that somewhere, there was great amount OF scien-
thc accomplished in this country, but have
usually associated it with certain institutions, uni
rersities, foundations and the like.
But the fact is, as Lord Bryce says, that Wash
ington is the nations of science and the gov
eminent is the center of that center If this could
be fully realized it would be most helpful in this
work. If this country, and Congress, could
be adequately impressed with the importance, the
extent. the commercial and economic value of the
scientific research done in the departments, it would
not be so hard to get fair recognition of it in pract-
cal ways.
1t would be impressive if this country could
have X-rsy OF the hundreds upon hundreds OF
exceptionally able, devoted men who giving
their lives to its service; plodding day and night
problems whose solution will keep the United
States at least abreast with other countries and who
get but comparative pittance in salaries They
stay, why? We do not know, for that indeh-
mite reason which holds men almost as slaves in a
work they have undertaken; in which fills their
lives with interest and that they feel a service
worthy OF every sacrifice.
Scores have gone to private employment at
double treble salaries Hundreds more could do
this, but cannot bear to leave absorbing problems
which seem fruition. They true loyalists
and deserve recognition denied them, not alone
financially, but in actual, personal credit for what
they achieve. Democracies proverbialy I'M
grateful, but far as such servants are concerned
so are monarchies. Whoever knew the names OF
those men who really built up Germany and made it
9he wonderful commercial giant it was?
Who knows the names OF the plodders anywhere
who give their lives to such labors of research in
the realms Of the just-beyond and finally bring
them within industrial reach? No others do more;
others deserve more; no others, by comparison
get less in that inner reward the satisfaction
OF accomplishment.

One InaEenable Right.

THERE is ono just one, absolutely inalienable
i right-the right to work. 1t is nalienable
because no man surrenders it, or deeds it
away. Enforced idleness is worse than slavery,
since slavery at least gives occupation, and pro-
vides food clothing and shelter.
Any government, matter what else it grants,
fails in its fundamental obligation, when does not
stand between its people and ideness. If work can
come in no other form, if economic conditions
such that private enterprise cannot provide employ
ment then the state should fill the breech.
1t is a travesty on real democracy and self
government that there should ever be 100000 or
100000 idle in the United States who are
willing to work and want to work. 1t is a serious
commentary on our system when any will con-
sent to allow the germs of a most poisonous and
dreaded disease to be infected into his body and
face death, because Il have been out of work for
months and $1,000 looks mighty good to me-"
1t is economic folly that public works are
dertaken in volume only when employment is at
high-tidc and wages at the peak 1t would be
economic wisdom and justice to expand public
works when there is most idleness and wages low
est The taxpayers must meet the cost in either
case, and if taxes rightly levied. this employ
ment would be paid by those who could best
afford it
1t is not complicated proposition. Any gov
ernment of any unit from Federal to city, can so
arrange its program of public improvements as to
provide work in periods of stagnaton. 1t have
sinking fund for this purpose. 1t would then be
buyer in the market when prices lowest. 1t
would buyer stimulate production and in that,
lessen the number of unemployed 1t would also
increase restore purchasing power, and again
stimulate private production.
The United States and the States could easily
have given such employment in some form during
the past six months. If they had done to even
a third of the number of the idle. this would have
opened employment to the rest through added pro-
duction Sometime this will be the accepted rule.
1t is what organized labor should make the chief
| item Of its program 1t should claim this inalen-
| able right of work for ALL including all the rest
| life liberty and the pursuit Of happiness.

Saving Themselves.

MOOD news continues to come from France.

pacity to work and her self-independence. Without

devastated regions. She quickly turned from the
waste Of war to the restoration of her forces of

American heart, that in the month Of February her
exports exceeded in value her imports for the first
time since before the war. Her imports OF raw
terials two to one, but her exports of man.
ufactured goods two and one-half to one
That tells the story of renewed industry of restored
economic equilibrium and accustomed thrift
The favorable trade balance for that month was
over 345ooo,ooo francs. For January there but
a slight deficit But the average excess of imports
for 1920 was over 100000 francs month and in
1910 nearly double that. No other of the Western
allied countries not even Belgium, has had so much
to overcome as France. No other expected so much
in reparation and got so little.
In spite of this the same spirit shown in the
war; has won. France has recognized the realities
She has accepted the inevitable and reparations,
when they come, will be useful to Tighten the bur-
dens of taxation and complete the rebuilding

to make comfortable income. The platform seeks
him, SO do newspapers and periodicals. He also
find many positions largely remunerstive be-
cause of his position, yet is most creditabe that
no President after retiring from office, has ever
offended public sentiment by capitazing his promi-
nehce and influence.
But they should be free agents. They should
not need to sell their advice, capitalize in any
way the vast information at their disposal Their
guidance advice, influence, information and leader
ship should be gifts to the American people. The
remainder of their lives should be devoted to the
peoples service, with unbiased judgment, without
political prejudice, and without financial necessity
Their years of greatest usefulness should be
those after they out of Office, not when or
less hampered by partisan bonds and obligations
This is service which the people should assure to
themselves They should make their former Presi-
dents wholly free agents to represent and speak for
them, to inform and lead them, to clear the air of
political entanglements and point the way to national

Notwithstanding repeated reports

that there will be no trouble.
The administration takes the view
that Costa Rica will not go to war
because she thoroughly understands
that the United States will protect
her boundary rights as determined

the other hand, has assurances that
the United States will not permit

Boston Transcript

In its ultImatum to Hungary
warning against the return OF
former Emperor Charles to the
Budapest throne, the little entente
reveals itself as by far the strong
est combination on the political
stage OF Southeastern Europe. Ru-
mania, Jugo-Slavia. and CZeCho-Slo-
vakia have thus taken the position
once held in equal measure by Aus
tria-Hungary and Russia as the
predominating influence in South
eastern Europe. No other group of
present offset the strength of the
that any combination would care to
overthrow what has become the
chief stabilizing agency in the most
troubled quarter of Europe.
Hungary Is a kingdom, but it is
not yet ready for a king-certsinly
not for Its former king. A few
mobiles seem to have encouraged
Charles in his venture. but his pas
sage through Austria alarmed the
few loyal legitimists who were al
lowed to learn of it. and the Bishop
upon whom he called first after
crossing the Hungarian border teIe-
graphed to the premier that "a
great misfortune has occurred" The
premier, Count Teleki, tried to per-
suade Charles to give il up. but the
former king insisted on going to
Budapest. There he seems to have
sat on bench in his own palace

got ready to see him; and Horthy's
advice was the same as TelekPs-
to go back to Switzerland IL the
Swiss would let him in. The return
of Charles with all his traditions
would certainly convince Czecho-
Slovaks and Pugo-Slavs and Ru-
manians - and, more important.
ltalians-that intrigue for the res
toration of the old Dual Monarchy
was beginning: that Budapest was

Balkan stability.
philadelphia Ledger.l

One Of the pleasing results OF the
monarchist attempt in Austria-Hun-
gary is the evidence of stability
given by the new Balkan States.
The peace treaty built up a new tier
of the Balkans while consolidating
some of the older ones; but all alike
stood fast under the dramatic
threat of former Emperor Charles.
The old powderhouse of Europe,
where nationalism, propaganda and
old and new hatreds seethe within
narrow boundaries, was expected to
explode like a shell-hit ammunition
dump. The Magyar hates the Ger
man, the Rumanian and the Slav;
the Slav hates the Magyar and the
Rumanian, and the Rumanian hates
them all. The balance in the Bal
kans is hardly two years old. 1t is
delicate beyond telling; but delicate
as it is. il held. Even the Greek ad-
venture in Asia Minor, coincident
with the monarchist effort in Aus
has failed to shake it
thus far.

its path will come very near that
OF the earth, has been located on
Photographic plates exposed through
large telescopes at the Yerkes OBJ
servatory at Williams Bay, Wis. ac-
cording to information received at
the Naval Observatory here.
This comet has been captured"
by the most massive planet. Jupiter.
and is one Of it's family Of nineteen
periodic comets. Every SIS years
Pons winnecke has been coming
near the earth. but the approach
that Is just beginning is one OF the
closest yet
This comet is named after it's two
discoverers. Pons and Winnecke. On
January IL. 1919. Pons located il
and assigned IL a short period. but
during the next six returns IL was
not located. Winnecke then redisx
covered Il in 1855. on March 81
Three of it's ten returns since then
have been missed.
Astronomers have not yet been
able to tell whether or not the
comet will be visible to the naked
! eye during this return.
