The Bergdoll Investigation

Viewed from every angle, the congressional
report on the investigation of the Bergdol Incl
dent leaves one outstanding fact-Bergdoll es-
capped because proper vigilance was not main
tanned.
AS to the culpability of the officers entrusted
with his safekeeping, this is something on which
Judgment always will differ. The majority re-
port of the committee condemns them in scath-
ing terms. Being possessed of the facts, they
ought to know what they are talking about, and
the public will accept their Judgment for its face
value
In the meantime, the public, having been
enlightened on the scandal connected with the
escape, wonders when the government will sue
coed in bringing him back to this country for
trial. He has departed from Germany and is
now in Switzerland. How long that will be a
safe refuge, remains to be seen. Bergdoll is a
man without country.
The cutting off of his income by the United
States government should soon reduce him ia
such state of poverty that he will be forced to
give himself up to the authorities. When that
takes place, justice will take its due course

Answers to Questions

Mrs. D. H. M.-Please give me the
history OF the "Blarney Stone. =
About four miles northwest Of the city
of Cork, Ireland, are the celebrated
remains of the ancient Blarney Castle.
The name "Blarney" has passed into
language to denote peculiar kind OF
persuasive eloquence alleged TO De
Characteristic of the natives of the
Emerald Isle It is to the wonder
working Barney stone, the kissing OF
which is said to confer this faculty
that the old castle owes its fame. The
stone was placed there by the founders
of the castle, and bears the following
inscription: German MacCarthy FORTS
me fieri fecit A. D. 1446." According
to legend, the Blarney stone original
" belonged TO the inhabitants OF Tyre
and Cathrage, to whom its miraculous
powers were we'll known. Some Car
thagenian Adventures having carried
away the stone to the island Of Minor
ca by stealth, were afterward driven
by storms into the harbor of Cork.
Thereupon they hid their treasure
amid the groves of Barney, whence 1t
was removed for use in building the
castle. Much discussion has arisen
concerning the position of the stone,
but the best authorities seem to agree
that it is built into the south angle OF
the keep 20 feet below the top. Since
access to it is we'll nigh impossible. a
substitute has been provided within
the battlen1ents to receive kisses OF
the tourists. The story runs that Cor
mac MacCarthy held the castle of
Barney in 1902. and concluded an
armistice with Carew, the lord pres
ident, on condition of surrendering the
fort TO the English garrison. Day
after day his lordship looked for full
fllment of the terms, but received
nothing but protocols and soft speech
es. till he became the laughing stock
of Elizabeth's ministers and the dupe
of the Lord of Barney, and thus the
term. "blarney' became byword and
was used to denote a soft, insinuating
manner of speech lacking in sincerity

The Board of Works

The board of works is appointed by the
mayor The city council has no voice in the
naming of the men who are to sit in this body.
The appointing power rests with the mayor.
One of the chief functions of the board is to
counsel with the mayor, and to help execute the
policies which he believes will benefit the city.
If the mayor, who is elected by the people,
is man of inferior ability, the chances are ten
to one that his board of works will be composed
of men whose ability is no higher than his own,
for weak man seldom surrounds himself with
strong men. The weak executive who appreci-
ates his own handcaps and overcomes them by
gathering about himself a strong group of advis-
ors is an exception.
This factor should be remembered by voters
when they go to the polls next Tuesday to NOM
mate a mayor. The next mayor of Richmond
must not only be strong man himself, but he
also must be surrounded by an official family Of
capable men whose advice and judgment on pub
lie matters is trustworthy and reliable.
The public often overlooks the appointive
power of the mayor when it selects him as a
nominee or elects him to office.
A high kind of police and fire protection are
intimately connected with the mayor of city

department Unless the fire department knows
that the mayor is watching its work, it is very
easy for it to become demoralized to such an
extent that the property of citizens is in con-
slant jeopardy.
The same holds true of the other departments
whose heads are appointed by the mayor.
quarrelsome mayor, or one who wants every de-
partment managed to maintain his political ma
chine or to protect his organization, is the kind
of man who does an irreparable injury to the
city.
