unquestionably active enemies by his filing of
the vacancy.
There openings for small appointive
positions throughout the year, so that the tide
of patronage applications, while at it's food
just after election, does not ebb to any Ap-
preciable extent. The tendency of the times
is to inject new blood into the body polite so
that there is better chance to-day for the
political fedgling than before. In days
gone by it was the rule to hand out all the
Jobs to personal friends Of the leaders and
keep them on the pay roll until they died,
which was never until a ripe old age had beer
attained. The younger man ambitious for
position found waiting to fill dead mems shoes
tedious process. All things being equal, the
bright young in politics to-day is likely
to get quicker recognition than the old war
horse who has served his party faithfully for
many years and has been rewarded poorly, if
at all. However, all things are seldom equal
in politics, so that, after all, no hard and fast
rule can be laid down for the acquisition of
place on the pay roll. If we knew Of such
rule we would have had good job long ago.
Now and then, strange as it may seem, polit-
zeal leaders grow tender-hearted. There is a
man VINO mas Deen Stanch party worker for
many years and has never held political posi-
tion. He has always had good employment in
civil life But for number of months he has
been out of work, and when he applied re-
Gently for $3,000-a- year clerkship, soon to be
open in of thelcourts, it was evident that
he needed it. Shortly afterward, and before
the appointment had been made, the leader Of
the district visited by one Of the bright
young men Of the party, who had in his pocket
the Endorsement of the judge who had the ap-
pointing power. All he needed was the lead
er>s O. K. He had done some favors for the
Judge and had been promised long before that
he should have the first opening But he was
not out of work and he did not need the clerk
ship to provide his livelihood. Although he
was clearly better qualified to discharge the
duties Of the Office than the older man. the
leader refused to consider his request. The
Older man needed the money and would get
the place, the leader said, despite the judges
preference for the more youthful applicant
"lf the Judge wants to appoint you he may
New-York tribune., 1922-04-02

do so, of course" said the leader; ''but, il he
does he will be acting contrary to the wishes
Of his organization"
Even judges do not take chances like that,
so the bright young man is still waiting
That was an example of where all things
were not equal Politically speaking. the
younger man had the best chance, for he al
ready had the support Of the official who actu-
ally had the appointment to make All this,
however, was overbalanced by the fact that
the leader had a heart. Naturally enough he
had the influence to gain the organizations in
dorsement for whomever he pleased Leaders
invariably do.
In well regulated political organizations the
necessity for obtaining successive Endorsements
for appointment to Office is not merely the
buck passing system already described. The
theory IS that if an applicant cannot first OBJ
tain the Endorsement Of his local Assembly
district organization there must be something
wrong with him. In theory the people rule.
While actually they usually have nothing to
say ABOUT 1t, the forms must be complied with
IN the opinion Of some leaders. The Assembly
district is usually the unit Of representation.
Ihere is an Assembly district committee, made
up or representatives from each election dis
trct, which is the smallest political unit The
mass Of the voters in each election district elect
at the primaries members of the county COM
nittee. The Assembly district committees
are composed Of the members of the county
committee residing within each Assembly dis
lrlct There, theoretically. is the direct repre-.
sentation of the people, as the mass Of the
voters are known. There may be an election
district committee, with chairman who is
captain of the district but this is so small as to
be unlmportant. There are however fifty or
more election districts in each Assembly dis
trict SO that a stable body is created. It has
its chairman and vice chairman and q repre-
sentative to the state committee.
These three officers of the Assembly district
committee arc the persons in whose good
graces an aspirant for appointive office must
first intrench himself. The election district
captain is supposed to know every member of
his party in his district, and an introduction
from him to the person next in authority, the
head of the Assembly district, is easily pro-
durable.
New-York tribune., 1922-04-02

Some Assembly district chairmen insist that
Endorsements for Office must be made by the
Assembly district committee as 81 whole. Some
even require q previous Endorsement by the
committee of the election district in which
the aspirart resides. When a vote of one or
both OF these committees is considered requi-
site for an Endorsement the name of the would
be office holder is presented at a meeting. In
that event there usually several names to
be considered This is the Assembly district
chairman's own little method Of buck passing
If he doesn't want to assume the responsible
ity Of disappointing any one he lets his COM
mittee vote upon the matter. Whether or not
he invokes his influence in behalf Of one of the
candidates before the vote is taken depends
upon whether or not he has favorite in the
running.
The leader may get in touch with maj jor-
ity Of his committee and request them to vote
an Endorsement to Smith. Jones may find out
about it, Jones being Smiths rival for the COM
mittce's favor. He cannot prove anything,
however, and he usually is wise enough not to
accuse the chairman Of unfairness, so he
simply has to step aside for Smith, for the
chairman will tell him that he is bound by the
vote Of the committee.
From the Assembly district committee an in
dorsement may go either directly to the county
leader, to the county committee or to the county
executive committee. Suppose each Assembly
district has indorsed favoritc son for par
tcular position. The county leader may not
wish to offend all the districts the
whose candidate he indorses. SO he considers
letting the county committee indorse one of
the candidates sent up by the Assembly dis
trict committees. But county committee meet
ings are public. 1t might be unfortunate to
permit battle to be staged at county COM
mttee meeting over the job in question. SO
the matter is referred to the executive commit
tee, which is composed Of representatives of
each Assembly district. When even the execu-
tive committee does not want to indulge in

consummate skill. Al a signal he uses a silver
whistle, the shrlll blasts Of which go through
TO the outskirts Of the mobs better than any
megaphoned shouts possibly could. Whistle and
gestures appear to be all he finds necessary.
Before he uses the whistle for signals he
has taught the players what each blast means
He has not, of course, given instructions to
each OF the thousands of players nor pointed
out the spot where each one is to stand but
he divides his mob into sections, training each
one in turn. He works among them. he says
as groups, and in this way each body of men
or women is taught the action Of the edjoin-
ing groups, much like the action of the mem
bers of ballets.
Each bit of action is connected with a
certain signal" Lubitsch says. land when the
players have learned these they go through
with their parts with the precision of sol
diers. Yet they do not lose their spontaneity;
they are never trained to the point where
they tire of their routine and lose interest in
the action. Three or four rehearsals are suf~
ficient for the biggest scenes but some of the
smaller groups, where the portrayals more
detailed have more drills. A set of rudmen-
tary signals thoroughly understood by the
leaders Of each group, simplifies the work Of
direction and avoids the confusion which
might mean failure"
Careful precautions are said to have been
taken against errors and anachronisms in the
filming of the present Egyptian picture, with
weeks of study spent in museums and libra
ries before the building of the city and elabo-
rate sphinx sets. Lubitsch Travelled to Egypt
to study the relics Of it's civilization of 1000
years ago.

reputation for veracty. Some achieve this by
being absolutely non-commttal. They never
make promise, so how can they break one?
hut the favorite method is that generally
known as passing the buck" There will be,
for example, county leader and county
chairman, both belonging to the same party.
Tom Jones, with his eye on a particular job,
will send friend to see one Of these officials
about it or will go himself. Suppose he goes
first to the county chairman.
"Why. yes, Tom, you'd be a good man in
that place. the chairman will say. II know
you've always been hard worker and always
carried your district. I'd give you the ap-
pointment. in a minute, only the patronage is
all handled by the county leader; you'll have to
see him."
Before Jones gets the ear Of the leader the
chairman has had quiet talk with him. and
1t has been decided that Jones is not to get
the place. Nevertheless, he will be warmly
welcomed by his leader and invited to state his
errand
"Say, Tom, that's too bad tho leader will
declare. with every appearance of real regret.
You'd be just the man for that job, and I'd
like to give it to you. If I'd only known yes
terday that you wanted it, But Pete Smith
has been after me for that, and, not knowing
anything about you, I've promised it to him.
I'm mighty sorry, for you'd be the better man,
But of course, can't go back on my word to
Smith. You wouldn't want me to do that,
would you?"
That's passing the buck" right back to
Jones himself He cannot very well say he
doesn't care whether the leader breaks his
word or not, so long as he gets the job, SO he
has to so home feeling that, after all, it was
his own fault in not being more prompt.
There numerous variations of this
method. Some leaders insist that before an
applicant for patronage even can be consid-
cred he must have the Endorsement of his As

Endorsement of all the names submitted and
puts the final burden of the selection squarely
upon the shoulders of the appointing officer.
1t is seldom, however. that the latter course
is pursued. 1t most frequently is when all
the patronage seekers men of equal stand
ing in the party and the job to which they
aspire is a big one. For the little appoint
ments, meaning those paying up to $4,000

is why he is known in the movie industry as
the man who never takes a chance" 1t
seems that he doesn't, for his productions ali
successes.
Lubitsch is now in the United States, and
his coming is double illustration of his right
to his title He sailed and personally brought
with him to make certain of its delivery the
film Of his latest production, "The Loves of
Pharoah." Another Of his reasons for coming
was to study Americans and America for an
American play. Without such prelininaries
he is unwilling to risk the direction of such
play. He is wise in the realization that MAX
ing moving picture of US requires great
deal more careful observation than writing a
book entitled "Amerca as Saw It," None
Of the ancient Egyptians are in a position to
point out any inaccuracies in "The Loves of

Prohack points out:
You ought to have thought Of all
this over twenty years ago, before
Charlie was born, before we were
married, before you met me. To be-
come a parent is to accept terrible
rlsks. he owes nothing
whatever to me, or to you. If we
were starving and he had plenty he
would probably consider it his duty
to look after us; but that's the limit
of what he owes US. Whereas moth
ing can put an end to our RESPONSE
bility toward him. You see, we
brought him here. We thought it
would be so nice to have children,
and SO Charlie arrived. He didn't
choose his time, and ne didn't choose
his character, nor his education, nor
his chance. If he had his choice you
may depend he'd have chosen diff
ferently. Do you want me, on the
top OF all that, to tell him that he
must obediently accept something

his acquaintance on the day of the
sad discovery that he has committed
the greatest Of crimes. genteel pow
erty. This revelation has barely
taken place, Mr.. Prohack has hardly
adjusted himself to the fact and Mrs.
Prohack has adjusted herself not at
all, when, from an undreamt OF
source, a fortune devolves upon the
Treasury's faithful servant. The
catastrophe is completed in Mr. Ben
nett's first couple Of chapters, and
the remaining twenty-one chapters
Of the novel have to do with wealth
and it's consequences. One of these.
almost Immediately, is more wealth:
another is the severance of Mr.. Pro-
hacks connection with his job and
his induction into the strenuous life
of idleness; third is the transforma-
ton of Mr.. Prohack's son, Charles,
from q cynical ex-service man into
a competent young millionaire. But
these are the unimportant conse-
quences-large, obvious results. The
really interesting details are such
trif1es as Mr.. Prohack's s illness, so
carefully presided over by his wife
and a Portuguese quack; the erran-
