him, ana secure from them the best
work Of which they were capable. 1t
is safe to say that Washington never
had better postmaster. ~
But, in larger sense, the civil
service Of the country suffers from
the resignation OF Mr.. Chance. For
thirty-flve years he was in it. starting
in as an assistant messenger at con-
siderably less than $1,000 a year sal
ary, working his way up through the
various grades. He was chief clerk
Of the Post Office Department twice,
Its auditor at one time, was private
secretary to Secretary Root Of the
War Department. was member of
President Taft's commission on eff.
cheney and economy, and finally city
postmaster here.
1t is doubtful IL any man in the
civil service Of this country has had q
wider first-hand acquaintance with the
civil service than Mr.. Chance. He
Knows its good points and its bad
points, its limitations and its latitude.
Through thirty-five years he must
have massed a knowledge Of condi-
tions that is exceptional.
To allow such a man to leave the
service to which he has devoted the
best years Of his life is but another
example of the faulty conduct of the
civil service, which trains a'man care
fully. develops him to an expert-and
tken permits some outside business to
come in and pick him off.
In all such cases Uncle Sam is the
loser. Mr.. Chance is a striking ex-
ample of this process. whereby the
government allows it's highly trained
and efficient servants to be taken
away from it at the time when they
should prove the most useful to it.

No Ready-Made Rain.

The weather bureau in Washington
may not dash the hopes of rain
makers, for hope seems to spring
eternal in their breasts, but the bu-
reau fortifies the belief Of plain people
that Jupiter Pluvius is still the only
real and legalized rain producer. Some
time ago we were given plausible and
authenticated accounts Of the produc-
tion of rain by spraying a cloud with
electrified sand dropped from an air
plane. I'VE have it, said the rain
makers. People were surprised, but
in these times of scientific wonders
few persons had the the hardihood
to say that rain could not be squeezed
out of clouds or pumped out of a dry
atmosphere by magicians. Some per-
sons held their belief in check. They
recalled that a few years ago rain
makers were shooting the sky with
bombs to call down rain and that
sometimes rain fell a week or two
after the bombardment. Some said
that the rain fell because Of the
bombardment and others said that the
drought would have been broken If
no ammunition had been used. The
experiments OF shocking the atmos-
phere with dynamite were given up
and very little has been heard Of
them in recent years. Then came the
experiment Of sending an aviator
above a mass Of clouds and sprinkling
them with electrified sand. Our own
weather bureau, with all the facts be.
fore it, says that there is nothing in it.
1t says that drought is due to insult
ficent moisture in the atmosphere and
absence Of other conditions essential
to the formation Of rain, and that if
there is little moisture to bring down,
obviously no device for causing rain
has any value. This contention has q
reasonable sound.

Conservation.

Important industries over a wide
region close to Washington are the
gathering Of oysters and the catching
Of fish. Neither of these industries is
Of such magnitude and value as for
merly, and both are threatened with
extinction. The conservation commits
sion of Maryland has just made a re-
port to Gov. Ritchie on the need of re-
storing the supply of oysters and shad.
The need for this is known to every
about the restoration, there's the
rub" The commission has suggested
that state and federal legislation be
enacted to further regulate the setting
of fish nets, it being said in the report
that these nets are so numerous and
extend so far beyond their proper
limits that comparatively few shad
ever reach their spawning ground in
the rivers Of the bay. The report
points out that great areas Of oyster
rocks, or oyster beds, once productive,
pre- now barren. The Chesapeake and
its tributaries. famous for their pro.
duction of sea food, are being despoiled.
Oystermen and fishmen understand
this, but no one body Of men seems
willing to take the lead in giving the
fish and oysters a chance, and col.
lecttve action by those engaged in
fishing and oystering is hard to secure

out these flgures because q, big trust
company in New York came out with
a statement somewhat to the effect
that the coal companies were in beg
carly condition, that their plight was
pitiable.
The United States Coal Commission
has sent out a QUESTIONABLE to persons
engaged in mining, transporting and
selling coal with the idea Of getting
some facts as TO what's what in the
coal situation. What information the
commission may get is one OF the nu.
merous questions which rest in. the
lap Of the gods. 1t is hoped that some
light, and some reduction, may be had
before the next furnace season. Mean
while a campaign is on against deal
ers in fireproof coal, 1t was com.
mon understanding that there was no
fireproof variety Of coal, but many per-
sons have paid 'steen dollars q ton to
discover that there Is. Senator Pep
per of Pennsylvania is "after" ship
pers Of fireproof coal in his state, and
promises to make it warm for this
Pennsylvania industry.

Senator Borah.

How good man may be ofttimes
misunderstood is exemplified in the
conception of some members Of the
possible availability as the candidate
of the reds for President Of the
United States. 1t is to smile! Borah-
man who has a notably clear idea
of the Constitution of the United
States. is one of it's most passionate
defenders and supporter Of the orig
inal form of government of this re-
public-accepting the backing Of men
who avowedly are set out to destroy
it and supplant it with communism.
In the Associated Press report Of
the trial in St. Joseph, Mich, Of w. 2.
Foster on charges of alleged criminal
syndicalism it is related that an ef-
fort to have the witness tell about a
Russian boom for Senator Borah for
President of the United States was
blocked by defense objections" Later,
referring to a speech made at a meet
ing in Germany Of the communists,
a delegate from Moscow from the
communist internationale Of Russia is
quoted as saying. "In the committee
one comrade said that in the near
future Senator Borah may be Presi-
dent of the country and, since he is
liberal, he may be in the communist
party" Senator Borah is recognized
as liberal, truly, but they have him
wrong" when they class him as a
communist.
Speaking of Senator Borah, more
to the point and in the present hour,
1t is certain that his address at
banquet in Akron, Ohio, last night
will stir discussion in republican cir
cles. BY some he will be denounced
as crying wolf" BY others he will
be cited as sounding note of warn
ing against recognized tendencies in
some republican quarters to ignore
conditions that to many seem patent.
It is serious charge he makes
against the republican party, to which
he still asserts allegiance, when he
says: I'VE are still trying to hold
together and win battles through the
power of patronage, the appeal to
past party achievements and denuncia-
tion of the opposition. 1t is fearful
mistake. 1t is bringing us to the
point of political disaster and ruin"
Senator Borah said that third
party movement lis not impossible,
not even improbable" but declared
that the "old parties have it within
their power to put an end to all such
movements by courageously meeting
and dealing with the problems at hand
in thorough fashion, In this out
spoken utterance it is easy to con-
ceive that Senator Borah has started
something" in republican circles.

Sugar.

Things never seem to be quite right.
Something is always going wrong,
and there is usually a fly in the oint-
ment. Now it is sugar. The price is
high and may be going higher, and it
is said in the news that Gamers and
growers of berries and small fruits in
certain sections of the country are
facing a real peril to their industries"
And all this because of the high price
of sugar. II Gamers cannot can we
shall be short of timed" goods and
will have to pay the price. With high
sugar the table expenses of the family
will go up unless we go back to the
economies we practiced in war days.
Gamers and packers who use sugar
by tons are complaining to Secretary
Hoover that the uplift in sugar prices
is not due to sugar shortage, but to
price manipulation. That has familiar
sound. People seem to remember that
during the war, when one family could
get only two pounds of sugar a week,
If they could get that, and had to pro
ceed cautiously in sweetening the tea
and making cake, the world was full
of stories about the greatest sugar
shortage in the history of man. Yet
there never were so many candy
shops, and the makers Of soft drinks
were getting all the sugar needed.
Suddenly something broke. the price
of sugar dropped and the prices of
securities Of sugar companies col
lapsed. There were stories in the
newspapers about vast stores of sugar
stocks held In storage while the sugar
shortage was on. The Secretary Of
Commerce will probably get at the
bottom of the reason for the ascending
price of sugar

Maj. Gen. Henry T. Allen. U. s. A..
recently American commander-in-
chief in Germany, will formally leave
the Army on April IS. having on that
day reached the retirement age Of
sixty-four. Although no longer on
the active list, Cen Allen will be
occupied for some time in preparing
an official history of the American
occupation of the Coblenz bridgehead.
1t will not be his maiden venture
with the pen. In 1886 he produced a
work on Reconnaissance Of Copper,
Tannana and Kuyukuk Rivers" and
in 1895 wrote a. book on the military
System of Sweden" Gen. Allen is a
Kentuckian, and, like all sons of the
Blue Grass, a passionate horseman.

Today. on 10th street, above

sad accident.
Her sewing basket containing a
tiny celluloid doll and innumerable
dollie capes and dresses flew out Of
her hands, and to her horror rolled
to the middle of the street among
the cars streaming by. Dollie and
clothes flew, and small spoo1s and the
big wheels of passing cars picked up
the bits of lace and silks and holding
them glued with the mud and rain,
passed, down 18th street.
This III inch doll lay prone on the
street about to. meet horrid rate,
when some kindly chauffeur galiantly
rescued her and gave her to the
sobbing child.

made several trips. evidently Drawing

Recognition of Russia.

Recognition OF Russia.
In a statement notable for it's lack
of ambiguity, Secretary Hughes sweeps
away all the buncombe and false pre-
tense which have surrounded agitation
for recognition of the soviet govern
fment of Russia and reduces the prop
osition to the hard reality of estab-
liShed facts. He makes it clear that
the United States does not withhold
recognition of Russia because it dis
approves of the form of that govern
ment, nor is it because of apprehen-
sion that the rule of the soviets is
lacking in assurance of stability. He
fully comedies the right of the Rus
sian people to develop their own in
stitutions in their own way. CZarism
or the .'dictation of the proletariat'
are all one, SO far as this country is
is essential, of course, he says, but he
is unable to find any advantage in
stability if it means only the per-
petuation of impossible conditions Of
international intercourse.
Recognition of the soviet govern
ment is withheld solely because of it's
policy of reputation and confiscation
and its declared program. of propa-
ganda for the overthrow of other gov
ernmentS. He makes clear the utter
impossibility of maintaining friendly
intercourse with a government which
avowS itself not bound by the or
binary rules of honesty and good
faith and openly declares its purpose
TO destroy the governments with
which it seeks to he on friendly terms.
One of the chief complaints made
by friends of the Moscow regime is
that its overthrow has been sought
by outside powers. What advocates
of recognition, in effect, demand is
that no attempt shall be made to
interfere with the workings of boil
shevik rule in Russia, but that the
bolsheviks be given every possible IA
cility to destroy other governments.
We should take the adder to aour
breasts and be very careful not to
IldIlll IL WuHG II SOl III It's Otduly
work.
It is urged that We should extend
recognition in order to pave the way
for loans to Russia and for the in
vestment of American capital there,
though Russia has repudiated loans
made from the proceeds of. the sale
of liberty bonds and has indulged in
wholesale confiscation of the property
of Americans. The United States is
not harsh creditor and has no desire
to press debtors beyond their ability
to pay, but the Secretary of State
points out that there is a very wide
difference between inability to pay
and shameless reputation of an hon.
est debt. There has been world
wide disposition to look upon Uncle
Sam as an easy mark, but he never
has been quite as easy as he would
be were he to yield to demands for
recognition of the Russian govern
ment so long as it's program Of re-
pudiation. confiscation and destructive
propaganda stands disavowed.
