Many of the scenes are spectac-

interesting scenes in the luxur-

The Graduates.

Graduation season is at hand.
Young men and women are getting
diplomas from higher educational in
stitutions In this country by the tens
of thousands. They are receiving de-
grees OF all sorts. masters and bach
elors of art, masters and bachelors OF
law. doctors OF law and philosophy.
They have been through intensive
training for several years. some spe-
cializing. others pursuing general
lines. Some Of them have won high
marks in scholarship and others just
got by" To some Of them these
years have been years Of preparation
for active life work. To others they
have been but the customary period
of culture with much incidental diver
sion. To the majority. however, this
work has been serious and important,
and they are measuring its value now
in terms of their future occupation
and activity.
Never before has college or uni.
versity course been so highly valued
by the youth of America. The enroll
ment at the institutions has been so
great that In nearly every college and
university accommodations have been
overtaxed. Almost every institution
has been required to make enlarge
ments or adopt expedients pending
permanent extensions. Endowment
funds have been Increased to enlarge
the faculties and to maintain more
adequate scales Of compensation. An
enormous sum is now annually spent
in this country for higher education.
No longer is it the custom to doubt
the value of such training. The col
lese man" Is recognized generally to
be more definitely qualified for busi-
ness. professional or scientific pur-
suits than one who has not had the
advantage OF the mental training of
systematic study and class work. OF
course, to many this training Is Of no
particular value. On some Of them it
has been wasted. Some will never ap-
ply it in their vocations. But the
general standard Of efficiency is in
creased by college and university
work, and 1t is the universal accept
ance of that fact that causes the an
nual increase in enrollments and
graduauons.

The Census Organization.

Announcement that on the 30th Of
June the census bureau will release
about 200 employees brings back to
mind the time when after each decen.
NAL enumeration virtually the whole
force OF this bureau was discharged.
That was when there was no per-
manent organization, and each ten
years it was necessary to build almost
from the ground up in preparation for
the census work, not only the
enumeration but the computation fol-
lowing. 1t required a long struggle
to obtain from Congress provision for
a permanent census bureau, with q
continuous organization. Until that
was granted the government lost
heavily in administrative values and
in efficiency. 1t was impossible to re-
assemble the force Of experts from
decade to decade, especially at the low
rates of pay established.
Now. with a permanent force, all the
experience of one enumeration is con-
served for another. The work Of
building up the large temporary or
SANITATION at enumeration time is
readily accomplished. While the per-
sonnel Of this enlarged force is never
the same the directing organization
remains stable, and the census work
Is much more thoroughly and de-
pendably done.
This decennial fluctuation Of the
census force is clear illustration OF
the value of the civil service system.
In former times the census Jobs"
were regarded as were the public Of
fees in the old ''spoils" days. Not only
the minor, but even many OF the
ma jor. places were filled as patronage.
Now appointments even to the tempo
rary forces are made on merit, and,
but for the working OF the apportion-
ment of offices law, with only one con-
sideration, and that Of securing the
best possible organization.
Cnquestionably the census work
has been better done by this new sys-
tenn than by the old. The census re-
ports have been infinitely more valu
able. Tho foundation work has been
moro thorough and the compilation
and analytical work has been more
skillful and scientific. Originally the
census taking every ten years was
solely for the purpose of determining
the basis Of congressional representa-
ton. But it has developed into great
statistical research. which has proved
to be of incalculable value to the gov
ernment and the people.

Politics at Home
The Virginia Senatorship.
This appeared in a recent special to
The Star from Lynchburg:

This appeared in a recent special to
The Star from Lynchburg:
Mrs. Davis. wife of Westmoreland
Davis. former Governor OF Virginia.
Is actively engaged in furthering her
nusoands candidacy against Senator
Claude A. Swanson for the United
States Senate, for she is already go
ing over the state In an effort to or
ganize for Mr.. Davis. She will have
the distinction of being the first Vir-
ginia woman to go out in the open
campaign on behalf of her husband.
1t is evident that she Is going to help
carry the former governors cam.
paign to every hamlet in the state"
which he stated several months ago
he would do.
Probably this is not the lady's first
experience as a canvasser for votes
for her husband. He has had much
success in politics: and men have often
been assisted by their wives in build
ing their political fortunes. Indeed.
one OF the most eminent and success
full politicians Of the past half century
used to say Of his wife that she made
more friends for him than he did for
himself. and. moreover. helped him
keep all the friends he made.
That was under the old regime.
when a woman's interest in politics
was the indulgence OF an outsider-of
one who brought into the field only
the persuasive qualities OF her sex
exerted in behalf Of a candidate very
near to her.
But women are no longer outsiders.
but citizens in their own right. They
belong in politics. They speak the
language Of the tribe. They canvass
for votes, whether for themselves or
another, as citizens, with a personal
stake in the game. and concerned on
that account with political issues, and
questions of who should or should not
hold office.
One Of the contentious of those who
opposed extending the franchise to
women was that their power In mat
ters political would be reduced by
making them regular participants in
the game Of politics: that as outsiders
and purely ornaments they possessed
a power they would have to surrender
as everyday insiders governed by
everyday rules. Mr.. Davis is putting
this to the test In a state where wom-
en- in one way or another-in every
way-have from the beginning exert
ed a great influence on politics and
everything else.

Mr.. Wilson's Confidence.

Mr.. Wilson is OF the confident school
of politicians. He not only claims
things. but claims them with gusto.
Claim everything, and claim 1t con-
fdently." was the adjuration OF the
founder OF this school.
In a telegram to q couple of Mis-
souri, democrats. Mr.. Wilson spoke of
our renewed triumphs." and added.
these triumphs are undoubtedly at
hand"
There Is another school, Its tone is
cautious. The members, for fear of
creating overconfidence. describe a
situation as very hopeful. but requir-
ing hard work. The leaders say in
effect to the rank and file: Get out
and dig-dig with all your might. and
We'll get there. Things are coming
our way, but the way needs attention.
See that it receives the proper atten-
tion. See that 1t is made entirely safe
and smooth"
Mr.. Wilson speaks from the in
formation that reaches him. For much
Of 1t he relies upon intimate friends,
who naturally make their reports
rosy. Shut in. as he Is. he lacks tho
means of ascertaining for himself
the lay Of the land''-of what in the
way Of change is actually afoot. But
as he is not much Of mixer he might
not be able to serve himself very well
in this way even If he were in health.
There is no denying the fact that
democratic hopes are high. and it is
certain that if the democrats achieve
triumph in November the Wilson
ties will attribute the reaction to the
record and influence Of their leader.
How numerous they are can only be
estimated from the appeals for advice
and other assistance made to him.
They come from all sections of the
country, and from men in Office, men
seeking ONCE, and men for whom ofIlce
holds no lure. The Wilsonites are
much alive wherever found.

The Key Bridge Approach.

Application by the Capital Traction
Company for permission to run its
tracks across the new bridge at
Georgetown, generally known as the
Key bridge, will shortly be before the
War Department and, by reference,
before the Public Utilities Commits
sion. There is little question regard
ing approval. for it has been generally
understood from the inception Of this
project that the bridge would be built
to accommodate car tracks and facili-
tate traffic across the river. But al
though the area at the Virginia end
is beyond the jurisdiction Of the utili-
ties commission. the War Department
should take into account the question
of the terminal facilities to be pro-
vided there and secure, if possible, by
legislation son1e provision for a proper
development between the bridge and
the Arlington reservation.
AS The Star pointed out the other
day. conditions at the Virginia end of
the bridge at present are most un-
attractive and unsightly. This bridge
will be much used. Many thousands
of visitors to the capital will cross 1t
annually in going to Arlington. I'm
less great changes are made at the
Virginia end a most unpleasant i'm
preston will be given these people
upon leaving tho handsome structure
over the river.
Arlington county. through which
the road passes from the bridge to
Fort Myer and thence to Arlington, is
perhaps not financially able to provide
a proper boulevard highway. The
present line of the road should be
Strengthened. the road widened and
much refuse cleared away. Presum-
ably the government alone can do
this, it alone having the means and
the power. The matter should be
taken up for consideration now. 80
that as soon as possible after the
opening of the bridge. which is now
scheduled for January /. a suitable
line of approach to Arlington may be
provided.

At a meeting Of the special subcom-

committee named 10 consider the re-

appearing as a witness. expressed the
hope that this measure will receive
final approval before the LIST OF July.
In this hope he was Joined by men,
bers OF the subcommittee. who recog-
nize that unless the reclassifcation
law Is enacted before the end of the
fiscal year it will be necessary for
Congress to pass a department bonus
bill. This is regarded as highly unde-
sirable, but if the assification law
is not enacted it will he required as a
measure of good faith toward the gov
ernment employees. Definite assurance
has been given them that the bonus
will be continued this year. failing re-
classification. This pledge must be
kept
II is pointed out that some amend
ments to the Sterling -Lehlhach bill
will be necessary before it can meet
the approval of the Senate. These
amendments, however, should have
been framed and agreed upon in sea-
son for action before the expiration
Of the fiscal year. There is no dispute
over the broad principle Of reclassifi-
cation. There is no ground for ire
concilable difference as to method. If
1t is sincerely desired TO pass this bill
before the end of this present month
it can be accomplished.
Reclassifcation will greatly simplify
hereafter. 1t will facilitate orsaniza-
tion in the departments. 1t will stand
ardize the service. II will correct in
equities and Determinations. 1t will
enable department chiefs to manage
their forces more effectively than be-
fore.
These advantages are realized by
legislators, and especially those who
have most to do with the appropria-
tlons. The feeling, therefore. on the
part Of the subcommittee that the bill
should be passed by the 1st Of July
is natural and leads to the hope that
this action will result.
But in any case, if reclassiication
is not effected in season for the new
fiscal year the bonus must be extend
ed until such time as basic law may
be enacted by virtue Of which fair
pay scale for the government service
is established.

Cox and Pomefene.

IN a dispatch from Ohio, stating
that Gov. Cox expects to be absent In
Europe until late in September. there
by making his part in this years cam
paign at home short. this appears:
His enemies are saying that the gov
ernor would not be at all displeased
this year. 1t would not make the
vote for him here two years ago look
so bad. and. with Senator Pomerene
defeated. possible opponent for the
presidential nomination two years
hence would be disposed of pretty
effectually.
1t must be his enemies who are say
ing this. His friends must be seeing
his duty in a different light.
AS matter Of fact, good politics
the only real politics-requirs that
Gov. Cox take genuine interest in
this years campaign at home. II a
reaction from the republican land.
slide of 1920 is at hand, Ohio should
show the change as plainly as can be
made possible. Gov. Cox is the most
prominent Buckeye democrat in the
country, and his party throughout the
country will look to him for the
best results where his influence is
strongest.
The Cox boom for 1924 does not re-
quire the defeat Of Senator Pomerene
for reelection. If the leader of 1920
Is to become the leader Of 1924 it will
be because Of feeling that his leader
ship two years ago was in nowise re-.
sponsible for the disaster that over
took the democracy then; thet no
leadership could have won; that his
was as good as was possible In tho cir
cumstances. and that now that for
tune seems to be smiling 1t should
smile on him.
In this view Of the case Gov. Cox
will not be Ohio's candidate for the next
democratic presidential nomination. but
rather the candidate Of the democracy
at large. He was Ohio's candidate at
San Francisco. and Senator Pomerene
helped him there. 1t is his turn now
to help the senator. And turn about
is fair play.
