The Bryans know the democrats as
no other men know them. For twen-

tab on potential men in every state.
Charles w. Bryan has systematized
this information. His card index en-
from his files the detailed political
pedigree of every prominent leader
of every state
This sounds like business. 1t is an
old saying that "a good politician
keeps books Here is the actual fact
confessed. The Bryans keep books,
and can consult them on a moments

heart, the inconstant and wabbly, and
the f1ighty and the fiirty are prob
ably all recorded in order Hence all
can be reached promptly by circular,

This may not mean a fourth cam

Is extremely difficult Of application
to cases like this, and inasmuch as
the speaker was a citizen he cannot
be deported.
Here is a specific evidence Of the
bolshevfk propaganda that was or
ganized some time ago, and news Of
which has come from Europe. If this
speaker is not a direct agent of the
Moscow soviet he is assuredly play
ing Its game. How many others are
there touring the country talking boil
shevism, scoring the American gov
ernment and deneuncing the Ameri-
can President and other officials? How
many of them are American citizens,
like this man? 1t would seem likely
that this would be the plan of the
Third Internationale, OF bolshevik
propaganda center at Moscow. to use
nationals of the countries marked for
conversion and revolution instead of
Russian agents.
Is there actually no law by which
this kind of agitation can be checked?
Is the Department of Justice help
less? Must the American people be
forced to sit by idly and listen while
these ranters and insidious revolution
breeders instill their poison into the
minds Of the ignorant and the discon-
tented and the radicals? 1t seems
monstrous. Must we wait until some
thing starts. some incendiary reaction
is actually begun, before we can act

Police and Fire Paw.

Putting the policemen and firemen
of the District on the full bonus basis.
which is practically assured by the
action of the Senate appropriations
committee, means much more to the
capital community than is probably
realized by the citizens. The pres
ent basic pay of the members of these
two forces is much lower than in
other cities. 1t is lower than the
members Of these forces could get in
other employments. Only with the
greatest difficulty are the depart
ments maintained at full strength. In
deed, the police force, at least, has not
been at maximum for a long period.
What with long hours. fatiguing and
dangerous duty, the necessity Of pro-
viding uniforms and low pay, the serv-
ice has not been attractive. Yet it is
one Of the essentials of city life. The
fact that the two services have been
conducted on their present high plane
Of efficiency in these conditions is due
to the loyalty 6f the forces and the
executive ability Of their leaders.
Dependence on the bonus is q frail
reliance. Last year Congress granted
$120 a year to these men, while all
other municipal employees received
$24o additional. This year. they with
all others, were menaced with a total
disallowance Of this extra grant. Now,
as the result Of the earnest pleas Of
officials and Of citizens, the Senate
committee has put the policemen and
firemen on an equality with other mu-
nicipal workers. The effect is that
already both Of the chiefs feel as
sured that they can recruit their
ranks promptly and with gh-grade
Of personnel. Washington feels dis
tinctly safer and more confident in
the light Of this wise action.

The District Bill Conference.

Reports from the conference on the
District bill indicate that the repre-
sentatives of the House and Senate
are steadily getting together on the
details Of disagreement while leaving
for later and probably final considera-
tion the socalIed legislative features
of the bill, affecting the manner in
which the cost of maintaining the Ma.
tional Capital is to be divided between
the government and the District. No
indication appears as to the basis ON
which these agreements are being
reached, though the hope prevails
that they are dictated by a spirit Of
the fullest possible generosity in the
allotment of funds. AS The Star has
already pointed out, it is possible with
entire fairness for each House to yield
in such a manner as to insure the
largest provision for capital needs,
without reaching beyond the assured
revenue Of the District on whatever
equitable basis Of division may be
adopted.
Primarily District interest centers
in the question of the ratio of cost
bearing. The House has put the figure
at 60-40. The Senate has put it at
$3.50, in accordance with the organic
act. The Senate has Furthermore
provided for the use Of the surplus
District tax revenue accumulated as
result Of neglect Of District needs
in the past. These funds are to be
devoted to certain specific purposes,
school sites, parks, Fairgrounds and
other important permanent-improve-
ment projects. The principle involved
in this authorization for the use Of the
surplus is highly important. The
Senate has recognized that the Dis
trict has a reserve fund which in
terms as those on which it was Gre
ated. namely, at $3.50 Of District-gov-
ernment contribution The items Of
surplus use written into the bill do
now available, every penny of which
could be effectively and probably de-
voted to accumulated capital needs.
In some respects the House bill was
more liberal than the Senate and the
hope is that in settling ting differences
the Senate will yield to the House in
these particulars while insisting upon
the increases which it has written.
Thus basis is afforded for q con,
ference agreement that more ade-
quately provides for the local require
ments than either bill.

The Fight ON Chairman White.

Why not caacel the request for a
meeting of the democratic national
committee March 1? It seems to have
been made under misapprehension.
Soon after election day it was re-
ported that Chairman White desired
and intended to retire. He had ac-
cepted Office upon sudden call. He
was not then actively in politics.
He responded favmably out of per-
sonal friendship and consideration for
Gov. Cox. Their relations had long
been close and cordial ana Gov. Cox
stood much in need Of a campaign
manager.
That Mr.. White did his best by his
friend and his party has not been
questioned not questioned now.
That his best did not prove equal to
the occasion is no reflection on Mr..
White. He was charged with a task
impossible Of execution.
Whatever Mr.. Whites feelings re-
specting his Office were in November.
they do not bear upon retirement TO-
day. He has no thought Of retiring.
and will resist any effort from any
quarter in any behalf to force him
out.
1t may not be possible to force him
out But the attempt even would be
poor politics. It would create sym.
pathy for him. and in that way in.
jure the interests making the attempt.
A slap at Mr.. White is. Of course. a
slap at the Cox people and their
leader. Gov. Cox, like Chairman
White. did his best last year with an
impossible task; and to penalize him
for failure when success was unat.
tainable would hardly be ciassed az
fair and generous treatment

The Democratic Factionism

The Uem0cradc EaClonlSm.
What effect will the factionism now
appearing in what is left of the demo-
cratic party have on those democrats
who will be members Of the next Con.
gress?
There will not be many Of them in
either house. The November cyclone
thinned the party's ranks amazingly.
Many strong men were put out of
action, temporarily at least.
But those who survived the blow
have hope; and much depends on them.
They have an opportunity which they
should be at pains to improve.
This opportunity inheres in the
enormous size Of the majority. 1t is
so large it may prove unwieldy. True,
the republicans are well led, and what
advantage rests in good and expert
enced leadership they will enjoy. But
there are so many questions in hand
some Of them entirely newt will
be surprising If factionism, more or
less sharp. does not show among
them, and afford some small opening
for democratic advantage.
If, however, there are to be Cox
ties, McAdooites. Bryanites, and may
be other brands of ties among the
small contingent of democratic leeis.
lators, the factions may be buster
watching one another and circum-
venting one another than watching
the common enemy. In union alone
is strength, and particularly for small
companies.
Outside Of Congress the democrats
are showing great activity, but just
now apparently more with 1924 in
view than for the purpose Of influenc-
ing and strengthening the situation
meanwhile.

Rate by Mail-Payable in Advance.
MARYLAND and VIRGINIA.
Bonus or Higher Pay.

While the announcement is made
that the bonus written into the leg1s-
lative appropriation bill by the Senate
committee is the last that will be
granted by Congress to the employees
Of the government, it is gratifying
that it was added, In replacement of
the item stricken. out by the House
on point of order. And it is particu-
larly gratifying that in restoring the
bonus the Senate committee applied
it without reduction to the District
policemen and firemen. who last year
were held to half the amount.
As long as the government pay
should be some special compensation
to enable the government workers to
maintain themselves adequately. The
notice that this will be the last bonus
must be taken as an acknowledgment
that Congress will at the next session
enact some form Of legislation that
will put the departmental scale on
the proper basis. Whether this is
the reclassif1cation bill or simpler
adjustment matters not in this par
ticular connection. 1t is. Of course, to
be hoped that the reclassiffeation
measure will pass in some form. to
permit an immediate businesslike
standardization Of the service. In
equalities should be smoothed out, for
the sake of both the government al d
the employees, particularly the former.
The government workers are con-
cerned mainly over the matter Of suf-
hcient pay. not especially over the
question OF irregularities. The bonus
has enabled them to come more close
ly to making both ends meet without
material sacrifices IN their manner of
living. Even II the cost Of living were
reduced very greatly during the next
additional pay. For the government
rate before the bonus was adopted was
too low, and the bonus itself, at first
$12o . year aad then $24o. was not a
propordonate addition to the actual
increase In the price Of the necessi-
Cc9 OF tne.
In practically everything else but
clerk hire the government during the
past four or i've years has been pay
ing much mefe than before for its
maintenance. It's labor" bill has
been its cheapest item relatively. Yet
in every industry and business the
labor" item has been the heaviest
cause Of increased cost
Thus Il cannot be believed that the
bonus. an Inadequate COMPENSATION
for higher living costs, win be dropped
without permanent substitution that
viii put the government pay scale
more nearly. though probably not
fully, at the point Of equity. the point
Of value indicated by the compensa-
