Everest Not Yet Climbed.

The attempt to ascend Mount Ever
est has been abandoned. After gain
ing height of 27,300 feet, or within
1.700 feet Of the summit. the expedi-
ton has been ordered to retreat. The
risk is too great. It is virtually as
sured that to attempt a higher climb
would mean the death Of those max
ing it. This does not necessarily
signify that Everest is surely uncon-
querable. The fact that men have
reached the highest point ever yet. at
tanned in this endeavor, and have
como within such a short distance Of
the peak Is almost sure to encourage
others at some later time to repeat.
And 1t is the history Of such enter
prises that they always succeed.
Everest is computed by trigonometri-
cal observations to be 2s,o02 feet in
height, but this is not accepted as

<TAKING the government out

LT \AhlNG tne government out

ism frequently heard when
the incumbent administra-
tion took office. Putting business
into the government" is corollary
now used. representing a principle
sought to be applied with everin-
creasing scope. A review Of what
has been done and what is trying to
be done will show the extent and
practical working of the endeavors.
There can be no question Of the
tendency in the administration Of
governmental affairs toward the bor-
rowing Of business principles and
practices long familiar to what is
popularity known as big BUSINESS"
but too much neglected in the past
by the biggest business in the land
the government of the United States.
For years governmental methods have
been scoff1ng and byword to busi-
ness men who had dealings with
Uncle Sam. Red tape, routine and
ruts impeded progress. produced
duplication in effort and expense and
resulted in lost motion.
In the departments at Washington

to assist in operating the prodigious
machinery Of administration which
was set UP like magic.

appropriations by Congress for the
upkeep of the United States govern
ment. The budget system has had a
successful tryout and has proved
to be all and more than its proponents
claimed for 1t.
In congressional circles it Is said
that the appropriations of this ses-
sion of Congress have been made
more speedily. more economically and
more sensibly than in the memory of
the Oldest veterans in government
and Congress service. There have
charges of pork barrel legislation
with minimized friction between de-
partments. Neither the Congress nor
the departments would go back to
the old system.
Yet 1t took years of patient educa-
ton, first of the officials and then of
the Congress. to produce the legisla-
tlon. All kinds Of obstacles had to
be overcome, mostly those of ignor-
ance. prejudice and indisposition to
depart from old methods. Govern
ment Is the hardest force to move as
well as the most irresistible when
under way.

chor in the York river and other estua-

It is a curious commentary on the

pie that they are slower to approve

The plan which is to be offered for
the approval of the American people
is not involved or abtruse. When the
House Of Representatives takes a
| months or six weeks recess and
members go home to talk with their
constituents, they can easily explain
to the average man what is involved
! in the merchant marine situation as
1t stands and what Is proposed for
the future.
The experts who have gone to the
bottom Of the subject explain that
operation of a merchant fleet by the
government Is impracticalbe. They
point out that the great fleet now on
hand should not be sold to foreigners:
it can not be operated by Americans
under existing difference between the
laws of this and other countries re-
lating to shipping. except through some
kind Of aid, direct or indirect.

go to scrap through decay and the

President Harding and the Shipping
Board have patiently and painstaking-
ly laid before Congress the business
merits of the plan. They are ap-
proved by business men and finan-

Senators Tackle the Flapper.

Precisely what bearing the duty on
ferromanganese has on the dress of
the frivolous fapper might be ex-
planned by a metaphysician turned
tariff expert. But discussion Of the
giddy girls scanty raiment in COM
parison with the voluminous draper
les of her grandmother was sufficient
to awake the drowsy Senate from
slumberous inattention to the dron-
ing debate on the Fordney-McCumber
bill.
Philosophy benefited by the sar-
torial interlude by reason of SEN
ator Underwood's portentious expla-
nation that the wicked tariff has
forced the f1apper to reduce her dress
to the proportions Of a pocket hand
kerchief. Sociologists and moralists
who have been theorizing on the sig
nificance of the flapper need puzzle
themselves no longer. She is q liv-
ing, breathing sprightly, mischiey-
Gus, provocative demonstration of the
protective principle.
