elAMTON elAaS

That fellow, Blanton - of Texas,
whom the House censured a few
months ago, recently made speech
in his nome state IN which he charged
congtessmcn with securing liquor
TASKS at government expense, like
wise cedar chests, poker chips, man
icure sets and about everything ex-
cept false whiskers, the exception
tending to show that in this sort of
banditry it isn't necessary for the
rascals to disguise themselves In
deed Blanton. himself, admitted ac-
cepting the chests.
The allowance voted for station
cry to every congressman varies
during the life of a Congress from
$3.50 to 1915 and no questions asked.
A congressman may buy fountain
pens or silk stockings out Of this.
Now of course these conditions lend
themselves to the purposes Of the
Blantons, and. but for such dema-
gogues might not be improved as
they may need to be. 1t isn't con-
ducive to high estimation Of that
distinguished body to think of the
members equipping themselves with
liquor TASKS at the expense of Uncle
Sam when he can't put the money in
his pocket as fast as it is being talk
en- out. A little consideration, how
ever, may enable Us to see why it is
that an honest congressman may re-
card the stationery allowance as
anything but footing the Government,
he is sw orn To protect, especially att
er he has compared the revenue re-
ceived for his work and compares it
with the cost of the up-keep of his
position. AS a form of remuneration,
however, even If earned twice over,
it is open to objections, though no
one but a Blanton would stir the
matter Up, The country isn't paying
its good congressmen any moro than
thoy should receive even Il the sta
tionery stipend be included, but some
other method might be preferable.

HUNGARY AND THE
HAPSBURGS

1t is difficult for people in this
country to ascertain all the condi-
tons affecting political matters in
Hungary land to appreciate what
may be the effect of the death of
I Charles of the House of Hapsburg.
: For one thing, there exists in that
country the peril of strong conflicting
interests. The land hogs, the descend
ants of the old feudal ariStocracy, are
struggling to keep their holdings
from those who are furnishing for
land. The agricultural laborers in
that country are but little better
than serfs in the eye of the Hunga-
rian law.
Naturally the former adhere to the
monarchical form of government and
are looking to the son Of the I'M
fortunate Charles to continue the
succession. Grown Prince Otto is
described as being a handsome little
attending the death of his father also
contributes to his popularity among
those moved by sentimentalism. The
leading men of Hungary save the
Entente assurance that The House OF
Hapsburg would not he restored to
control, but not all of them are abid-
Ing by their agreement. The so-callcd
Legitimits are rallying to the hered-
ttary succession. Possibly the peo-
pie. now grieving because of tie
death of Charles, may eventually
realize that this was sadder than the
death Of one of the million common
men who laid down their lives under
conditions, far and away, worse than
those endured BY Charles in his Ma
deira home.

Of them" declares Attorney General
Daugherty, and undoubtedly this con-
clusion is supported by some fact, but
we think he exGggerates what 1t
would be possible to get without the
civil service.
If the heads Of departments or in
charge of affairs were able to hire
whom they pleased the conclusion
might be found nearly correct. But
the alternative of the civil service
would be political domination. Every
head would select his help according
to the dictates Of patronage and that
never has and in the nature of things
never can be productive Of efficiency.
We do not believe the country will
abandon the civil service notwith-
standing it's obvious faults and Mr..
Daugherty and others in charge
should bend their energies to making
the most of it. Condemning it isn't
likely to get us anywhere, improve
ment may. The requirements of the
examination permit inefliciency to
gain admission and strict interpreted
ton and technicalities protect it after
/ it is once inside.

policy of standing over Germany with
