war; and has served as consul general TO London
since 1913.
Mr.. Skinner is himself a case in point. He has
given the very best he had for the service of his
government. His vocation has kept him away from
his native land for many years. To compute in
dollars and cents the value Of his services to his
government and its people, and to thousands Of
commercial interests which have sought his aid
and advice since 1897 would be impossible, but that
they would aggregate n huge sum is certain, and
that they have added TO the prestige and efficiency
of the United States is conceded by every secretary
of state under whom he has served. Yet II Mr..
Skinner should retire tomorrow he would be de-
pendent upon what he may have teen able to
save while he was in the service, and s:nce the pay
of an American consul or consult general is so
meager as TO permit no saving worth the mention
ing, the chances are that Mr.. Skinner would have
considerable time TO ponder the old saying that
Republics are ungrateful,' il he chose to do SO.
Two years ago, in citing the example Of Great
Britain in taking care of her superannuated and
disabled consuls, the Republican Publicity associs-
ton made a compilation showing that at that
time there were los consular officers on the Brit
ish retired list, of whom sixtyeight were retired for
m-health as n result Of foreign service at tropical
and Oriental posts, and forty were retired on
account of age The average retirement of the
invaded officers was 90 years and four months;
their average service at retirement was twenty-five
years and nine months. The salaries paid them at
the time of their retirement aggregated $32S,O00
annually, or an average for each officer Of $500.
Their yearly allowance by way Of retirement pay
aggregated $4,000 or an average per officer of
$1,000. The average retirement of the forty placed
on the retired list on account of age was 62 years
and s months; their average service was thirty
years and one month. The salaries paid them be-
fore retirement aggregated ~s1S3,000, or m average
for each officer of s4J575. Their yearly allowance
by way of retirement pay aggregated 5000 or
an average per officer of $500.
The Rogers bill makes provision for retirement to
supernnnuated foreign service officers ranging
from S4,sOO for Glass A, maximum 10 1876 for Glass
F, minimum, the class depending on length Of
service, age, and amount OF salary received for n
stated period prior to retirement. This Is one of the
must humane features OF the proposed reorganiza.
ton program embraced in the bill.

To Haze Another Chance.

FTHE HIGH potentates of moviedom have waved
l. the sceptcr, and Roscoe Arbucklle is Coming
back TO the screen. If the magnates believe they
have effected the regeneration of Hollywood, ~
liz feared they have been influenced more by fnan-
clal than moral considerations.
There has scarcely been time, since the upheavnls
that shocked the moral sense of the country, to
bring the stars of filmdom back to decency and
public favor after the pace they have been travel
ing. Most of them should be placed on probation
for a good long period.
Moral rottenness, murder, dope, loose living and
divorce with which the whole Hollywood colony
has been permeated cannot be forgotten in an hour,
regardless of what the producers have invested
in the performers.
The slogan of the picture fans, "Clean pictures
by clean people" works in all parts of the country
and producers have only to test the public by of
ferings of picture by fragrant offenders to dis
cover whether the public has condoned or forgiven.
Most everybody believes in giving everybody else
a chance to turn from error and come back to the
paths of virtue. There must be sincerity about
the reform, however, and the public must have the
evidence.
Arbuckle is entitled to his chance along with
the rest, for rank as he was proven to be he had
lots of company and maybe his lesson has sunk
into his understanding during his vacation.
The one great trouble with the whole Hollywood
situation is the fact of extravagant salaries, leisure
time and public adulation, all in such measure as
to turn the heads of mental lightweights.
Mediocrity cannot stand the strain and this class
is away in the majority. The real actors and &C
cerned in the immoral proceedings tina. have
brought so much discredit upon n really great In
s~titution, and unjustly the good have suffered for
the sins of the bad.
Whatever the judgment of tho producers, the
public will in future take or leave what is present
while the stars and producers have been receiving
theirs.

NulIifying The Courts.

THERE is little to hope for in the way Of per.
L manent reform, il criminals are pardoned as
rapidly as courts find them guilty and sentence
them to prison.
The object OF punishment of those who break the
laws is two-fold. To place the offender beyond the
reach of further violations of law and to deter
others by object lesson from the commission Of sim
liar infractions.
But when the pardoning power ~nullifies the pro
ection of society by the courts, by prompt release
of dangerous criminals to further prey upon the
people, communities are at the mercy of outlawry
and society must protect itself.
Such n situation exists in the great state Of I'LL.
nos, by the action Of Governor Small in the par
doning OF convicted traitors and again In ter.
minating the prison terms of notorious and dan
gerous criminals that required years for the courts
to apprehend and convict.
Peace officers, courts, juries, witnesses and the
general public are discouraged when the work done
by them in the interest of the morality and safety
of society is annuled by the higher authority acting
so frequently from motives other thar. for the pub
lie good.
Illinois, and particularly Chicago is over.run
by criminals of all degrees. 1t has been n handto-
hand contest between the forces of evil and right
.eousness for supremacy for many years in that
city. The risk is too great for the governor or the
pardoning board TO dump back upon the people of
that community a horde of the most skillful Grim.
mails the prisons have held from depredations upon
the people.
A new crime war is sure to ensue.

The Game Ending of Burr.

Gamaliel Bradford has written a
very pretty account of the last days
of Aaron Burr. published In Harper's
Magazine. Burr led a gay and event
full life and while his history was such
that Americans can AXE no pride N
II, there IL always the fascination OF
evil and near-evil things he did to
hold the readers undivided attention.
80, when Burr. in 1912. finally sue
cseded In sinking home from Europe
he had at least this love CHS daugh-
ter Theodosia's) and that OF his grand
child to look forward to.
Then the hope WAS blighted by sud
den and appalling disaster. a few
weeks after Burr landed in New York
his grandchnd died. This bow was
serious enough; It completely pros
strated T~heodosia. But at least she
and her father could be together. On
the last day CT 1919 she sailed from
Charleston for New York, and was
never heard of again.
at seemed us II life could hold
n more wretchedness. Even Burr's
serenity was shaken for a time. and
he admitted in despair that he felt
severed from the human race Yet
the wonderful elasticity of that won.
derfui spirit brought him up again,
and for twenty-five years he lived
on in New York. presumably very
much the life hat he had lived be-
fore.
H was Stunned by society and
coldly regarded by other members of
his profession; yet he practiced law
with the same old vital VICAR and
