Essay on Today's Educational
 Week Slogan, by Willis Perry)
 The day is slowly but surely con- ing when ballots, not bullets, will de- eide the disputes of heterogeneous world. AS people become more ana more civilized and educated, no per son or persons will be able to stop this transformation. The quickest way to bring this change about is through the education of the masses. When people become educated they look into the why and wherefore of matter They ask themselves these questions Why was 1t necessary that we fight and lose the best manhood in the country in this Or that war? Did the result pay for the sacrifice? Can we ever justify wholesale murder of men and women to right supposed wrong? Inevitably the answer of hu- manity will be no! They will then ask themselves how can we settle these disputes without war? The an- gwer Is, by ballot Let the people, the masses, show whether they want peace or barbarism The answer is simple. Civilized and educated peo- pie can only want peace Therefore, disputes in the future will be settled by the ballot not the bullet.

SHOULD YOU JOIN THE CHAMBER
 OF COMMERCE?
(By J. P. Hannon, Sec.)

Every merchant, professional man, and progress.se citizen should belong to the Chamber of Commerce. No ar gument can be advanced to the con- trary, for that argument would reflect against the individuals own inter- ests. When you help your community you help yourself
 There is no excuse for business man not being interested in the up building and development of his city and community. The eyes of the world are focused on Alaska because of the long-awailed publicity we have received during the past year.
 Requests pour in from persons in terested in our undevelop resources.
 From Tourists wishing to wnow our attractions.
 From Homeseekers desiring to To- cate.
 The Chamber of Commerce is the natural recipient of these requests.
 Do you know of any undeveloped re- sources in our vicinity.
 Do you know of any attractions around Seward?
 Do you know if we have any scen- cry to sell?
 Do you know whether we are too crowded to offer inducements to To- cate here?
 Help the Chamber to answer these requests then. Help it to advertise your community. People come thou sands of miles to see what we have at our front doors and wonder at our disinterestedness in overlooking the opportunity knocking there.
 Should you join the Chamber or Commerce?
 YOU can answer this at the lunch con at noon tomorrow.
 Will you come?

While riding his motorcycle early
this morning on the driveway be-
meath the highway bridge, Park
Policeman F. r. Cain was slightly
burned about the hands and fore
head and his hair was singed when
the motor back-fired and caused a
blaze. After treatment he returned
to duty. Damage to the motorcycle
is estimated at 800. Engine COM

An automobile was destroyed and
damage estimated at $500 was
caused early this morning when fire
started in the garage in the rear
of 1885 Eighth street northwest.
The place is conducted by Oscar
Walker.
A lighted match thrown into a
pool of oil that had leaked from a
parked automobile at Thirteenth
and K streets southeast, caused a
blaze that threatened cars parked
nearby. A small unidentified col
ored boy sounded an alarm. Before
the firemen arrived the blaze had
burned itself out.

Classification of Federal EN-

The Personnel Classification
Board this week begins its task
of equalizing the salaries and
standardizing the work of Fed
eral employees in the District of
Columbia.
Statement by Warwick.
Judge Walter w. Warwick. chair
man of the board, today said he
probably would announce shortly
certain conclusions as to policy
and procedure reached. The
board met today to consider pre-
Hminary aspects of its work re-
lating to the departmental en-
ployes here, as distinguished from
the field workers.
Some of the pioneer work of
allocating the government work
ers in the District already has
been done by the Bureau of Eff
ficiency, whose ratings and stand
ards already created will be fol.
lowed '..as far as practicable" ac.
cordings to the Sterling Lehlbach
act. Il
The original Jones Commission

work during the peak of Federal

also has "bequeathed" a large

would have to be prepared, mas

are more or less obsolete. 1t re

as TO whether this work will have
to be done over in its entirety.
Waiting On Steward.
1t was said today that no prepare
tons have yet been made by tbs
board to grant hearings to any
groups of employees.
The Federation of Federal En-
ployes is attempting to effect Z
mode of procedure whereby the
claims of certain classifications OF
workers can be presented collective
| ly.
Inasmuch as none of the detailed
problems of ALLEGATION have YET
been brought up for consideration
of the board, the question of hold
| ing hearings or permitting various
interests to be heard in futherance
of their claims is regarded as g
bridge which does not yet have tt
be crossed by the commission.
When Luther w. Steward. presi
dent of the Federation of Fedora
Employees, returns to the city from
his Western trip, this phase of th'
boards task probably will come
up for discussion.
