While Others Wait.

THE vexatious problem OF the disposal of po-
litical prisoners again is brought to the
front-this time by Senator Borah's advocacy of
their release. He is, we presume, the most nlu-
ential man who has taken up the cause OF these
unfortunates to date and his words will have con-
siderable influence on large body OF public opin-
ion in the United States. Without doubt there are
arguments in favor OF granting these men their
freedom. They have been made to appear, at least,
in the character OF under-dogs and the American
people always look with sympathy upon such
creatures. Most Of them, it is probable were con-
scientOus men and women who valued what they
considered the right more than they valued per-
sonal liberty Altogether they have the material
for a rather dramatic appeal to public sympathy
particularly in the United States where freedom
OF expression all subjects is one of the most
precious hertages OF citizenship
But it must be remembered, on the other hand
that they have been dealt with more mercifuly
than would have been the case in any other coun-
try 1t is we'll enough to say that the allies already
have released most OF the wartime prisoners in
Carcerated for purely POLITICAL offenses But most
OF those still in Jail in the United States never
would have been placed in cells in Europe-except
TO- a night or two perhaps. They would have
faced firing squad shortly after they had been
found guilty. The men and women released in
England France and Italy were guilty of far less
serious oneGSeS against the security OF the country
These people knew the price they must pay
for their defiance OF constituted authority-and ap-
parcntly they were willing to make the sacrifice
Why should it be lightened? That every case
should be considered its individual merits ad-
mits question. Comparatively innocent men
still may be in jail-and they should have the ad-
vantage OF any new evidence which can be brought
to bear
But hesitate to believe that the American
people are IN the proper temper for blanket par
don. They want exact justice tempered with
mercy. But they do not all mercy and no
justice. 1t be remembered that the words
and actions of these men perhaps cost human lives

Appeal for Fairness in Civil
Service.

To the Editor. The Washington Herald:
Why is all this agitation against
married women in government serv-
ice? Because II is unfair to every
applicant under the Civil Service
whether they have been in wal
service or not.
The Civil Service was created 90
give serviceable epople an oppor'u-
nifty and to prohibit jobs being Grol-
bed up for the whole family. and n.
inhibition was placed upon more
than two of the same family resiiiuG
at home. but this has been overcorra
by trickery.
Now people realize what the
result of this family control means.
Unemployment, favoritism. dis
elimination and unfairness to many
entitled to places. This talk Of
efficiency by these protected people
is all bosh. This government has
run too long for any one 10 be
swamped by the loss of any one no
matter how mighty they may be.
The government should be fair
and just and no device should b-
allowed TO discriminate against the
applicant who has proven his record
for entry.
Husband and wife and the chill
dren should not he allowed 20
monopolize the service. imposing
hardships in many cases on those
who are deserving the places now
held unrightfully and unjustly.

the soldiers are inefficient They

The Married Woman in Gov.
ernment Service.

To the Editor. The Washington Herald;
1t Is a bad policy to stir up a
hornets nest, for some one II sure
to be stunE. A clear Illustration
OF this is brought out by the many
attacks made upon our govern
ment, land especially. at this time,
upon the Veterans Bureau). Mtir-
murs. which may be likened to the
buzz OF q hornets nest. are heard
within and righteously so. Unjust
crit cism is apt to be met with
sting from those so unjUstly criti-
cised.
l venure 10 say that there r. not
a married woman in government
service today who did not have
husband, son, brother or relative
n the world war and who did not
give all she could toward bringing
comfort and cheer TO that man who
went overseas to fCht for her I
DO not believe there are any mar
ried women in the government TO-
day who would not DO the same
thing again IL called upon to do So
The veteran OF the world war will
always remain hero TO her
Therefore, q is a vicious attack
upon the married women, as a
whole, to say that they are Ec-
priving our veterans Of positions
and Of positions which great
many OF them before the war could
not have held.
II there are positions being held
under the government by women
whose husbands are gett nE sala-
ries large enough to take care Of
wife. and children, and II these
husbands did not have to give up
their positions TO serve their coun.
try, but held on to good lobe
then ! say, IL IS time such cases
are ferreted out and rectihed. II
such women are holding positions
merely to appease their craving for
the luxuries Of life. they should
step out gracefully and allow one
more worthy and needy to I'll their
places.
However. such cases are in the
minority. There are widows OF war
veterans who have taken up the
burden OF making their own liveli-
hood and generally that OF depeno-
ent child or aged relative. There
are other married women in gov
eminent service who are helping
their husbands 70 build the little
home Of their dreams before he
was called to serve his country and
who are standing Loyalty by him

the Turkish AFFAIR.
No Check on Impulses.
And now everybody is free to
follow his own inclinations and
seek his own ends at the expense
OF everybody else's. Britain has
refused to give France an alliance
or guarantee on the Rhine.
therefore there Is no reason why
France should support Britain in
the Near East. Both France and
Britain turned a deaf ear to Italy
in all Adriatic questions and Italy
knows that whatever course she
takes now. it will not injure her
chance Of French or British sup
port, for this support will not be
had in any event.
Therefore the Briton backs the
German and the Frenchman backs
the Poles; the Frenchman and Ital-
ian back the Turk, and the Briton
the Greek. The whole thing be-
comes a confused diplomatic game
and II is likely to stay so until a

Promises of Good Citizenship.

4 BOUT 5000 pupils are expected in District
\ night schools this winter. There is hardly
room enough for them teachers enough to in
struct them-but that is beside the question in the
present discussion. The remarkable point is that
so many young and young are am
bilious enough work hard all day and then de-
vote their evenings to study. This does not strike
us as any sign of decadence in the American race
1t is forecast of great things for the present
younger generation of the District of Columbia
Without question it is hardship to attend
night school 1t that many pleasures must
be given up that full enjoyment cannot be obtained
from life until the course is completed But it is
equally certain that the men and women who are
willing to make such a sacrifice will not stop when
school days over. Their diplomas will be
merely certificates that they have the right to keep
on working harder than their companions

PHOENIX, Ariz. Dee. 27.-Will R. Collier, acquitted in superior court last Saturday night of numbering R. c. Elliott, rancher, near Tempe last September took out a license yes terday afternoon to marry Mrs. Maude Collier, his divorced wife, who was the principal witness in his trial for murder. Mrs. Collier tes- tified during the trial that Elliott, the slain man, had won her away from her husband, promised to marry her and later deserted her.
 Collier admitted shooting Elliott and testified that his wife had ad- mitted her relations with him. He said he had agreed to divorce after hearing her story.
 After the trial MT and Mrs. Collier left the courtroom together and friends said they were not surprised to hear that they planned to re- marry They have three children by their former marriage.
