WASHINGTON OBSERVATIONS

1t Is interesting to chronicle that the
6-year-old son of Michael MacWhite,
the new Minister of the Irish Free State.
and his charming wife-noted in her
own right as a landscape artist--does
not yet speak or understand q word Of
English. Nor Is the conversation in the
MacWhite household carried on in
Gaelic, Ireland's native tongue French,
the language of the diplomatic service,
is the medium of exchange, and the
youngster knows no other language yet
but French This is easily explained by
the fact that the boy has been reared
since babyhood in Geneva, where the
brilliant Irishman was stationed for
seven years as the Free States envoy
to the League Of Nations.

Those members of Congress who are
advocating making the horde of census
jobholderS subject to civil service are
not entirely altruistic. Some of them
are convinced that 1t Is q safe escape
from the hot water they will be in, If
the one hundred and twenty thousand
extra census jobs are distributed as po-
litical patronage The bulk Of these
pay roll places are enuinerators paid on
per name basis, whose pay roll con-
nection will last less than q month, and
whose total stipend will be less than
500. But the scramble for these It'd
bits is already on in full force Appli-
cations are pouring In by the thousands
and the tens Of thousands The Census
Bureau asserts that 1t Is utter nonsense
to enmesh in civil service red tape the
short-lived army of enumerAtors Prob
ably Congress will accept that view, but
not without considerable talk and
much pious preachment, concerning the
violation Of the civil service principle
all appointments on merit basis.

Rapid progress is being made in in
stalling the cooling devices which
are warranted to lower the temperature
in the Senate chamber, no matter how
torrid the debate. nor how bright the
sun. A further reason In the opinion
Of the bystanders to fear that the SEN
ate may stay in session all Summer.

a niche in the history of the times
At the close of his career he was the
recognized leader Of a progressive ele-
ment which was irrespective of political
party allegiance. Almost his final effort
was to unite this group behind him
and win to the Office of Chief Execu-
tive. His candidacy for the presidency
on an independent progressive ticket.
however, was thrust upon him by the
groups then clamoring for recognition
which they insisted had been denied
them by the two old political parties.
Senator La Toilette dreamed of the
establishment of a great progressive
party. new political organization
which should include in its ranks pro-
gressives from both Republican and
Democratic parties as well as independ-
ents. Nearly five million men and wom-
en- cast their ballots for the Senator
from Wisconsin, but his own State was
the only one which gave him its cleo
tora1 votes. The effort to establish a
new, progressive party subsidized after
this defeat at the polls. But the idea
still fingers.

Bank Charter Refusal
Fails to Daunt Town

From the Asbury Park Evening Press.
Announcement that the Comptroller
Of the Currency has refused to grant a
charter for the institution Of a bank
in the community will find small favor
with residents OF Oakhurst. Prior to
this, prospects for establishing the in
stitution appeared highly favorable. A
group of leading business men spon-
sored the project and the enthusiastic
support which they received indicated
that there would be little difflculty in
concentrating 1t. However, the Federal
authorities have objected, and although
the custom of withholding the reasons
lying behind the action has been fol-
lowed. 1t must be assumed that they
were valid. Efforts to establish a ma
tional bank in Asbury Park are also
understood to have failed.
But the temporary setback to estab-
fishing a bank in Oakhurst will not
discourage those who planned the insti-
tuition. Although the Comptroller of
the Treasury has refused the necessary
charter. the attempt to improve the
boroughs banking facilities holds much
significance. Among business men there
has arisen civic consciousness which
clearly reflects the growth of the COM
munity. Asbury Park is undergoing a
period of intense development, and no
where is this more clearly manifest
than in the adjacent towns. Each has
profited by increased population and a
subsequent rise In business, and among
these growing suburbs Oakhurst holds
a prominent place.
Despite the Governments failure to
approve of the establishment of bank
at the present time, due to the existing
financial stringency the fact that local
residents consider 1t necessary FORE
casts widespread interest and conf
Gence.

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PH1LANDEa JOHNSON.

A Springtime Enthusiasm.
A man with fingers blackened,
And with dank and dusty hair,
His pace serenely slackened
Just beside the cellar stair.
Il know" said he, that sorrows will
come knocking at my door,
But, just the same, needn't tend the
furnace any more.
II don't care about the flowers;
I don't care about the bees,
Nor the rainbows and the showers,
Nor the birds up in the trees.
But there's now no further danger that
wintry blast Will roar.
At last, I find needn't tend that
furnace any more.
Now Destiny is shaping
Promises of bliss so rare,
For a prisoner escaping
From that gloomy cave down there.
A cave where fires are fitfui and where
ashes strew the floor.
Hail, gentle Spring! needn't tend the
furnace any morel"

itor of the commercial and industrial
centers of the country.
No comment on this fine statement
is necessary. But it is interesting to re-
call that toward the close of century
Of neglect of Washington and the be-
ginning of another era now past, plan
such as Mr. Medary suggests was adopt
ed in 1878 by an enlightened Congress;
that the principle of that plan was re-
affirmed by many Congresses; that the
principle remains written as part of
organic law never repealed, and that.
If it we're not for annual violations of
it in the District appropriations bill,
that plan would be in effect today. 1t
was never, however. a plan to "segre-
gate" the interests of the community
and those of the Nation. 1t was far
more generous, called for much more
from The community But 1t was fair
1t was right. 1t was founded on expert
ence, thought and patriotic sentiment.

The IncorriTiblea.

The Incorrigibles.
Those folks that simply won't behave
Oh, how they fret our minds,
And cause us spprehensions grave
OF all degrees and kindsl
We send them protests and we show
How generous is our way,
As we forbear to aim bow
And plunge them in dismay.
We show them what the laws recite,
And what the prophets tell.
Dur words are earnest, though polite,
Respect they must compel.
The most OF men their best will do
To be bcnignly brave;
But they are baffied by the few
Who simply won't behave.

Farm relief is an old question;
one whose answer was for centuries

farm relief may, with the earnest pa

along with the achievements once
deemed beyond human capacity.

BEARCREEK MINER rs
VICTIM OF ACCIDENT

Joe Maring, miner employed in
the Mutual mine at Bearcreek, for a
time was believed to be dead Monday
morning, he having received enough
of charge of electricity to electro
cute him. AS it was fellow workmen
discovered him and at once began the
work of resuscitation and the first-aid
was successful and when DR.. J. C. F.
Siegfriedt arrived later, he found the
stricken man able to walk again. He
is terribly sore at the present time and
states every muscle in his body aches,
and he bears terrible burn on the
right side of his head as a memento
of the narrow escape from death.
Mr.. Maring, who runs cutting
was bending down while
placing jack under the machine, and
fell in such a manner as to touch the
trolley wire with his head and at the
same time his feet were in a pool of
water. He received the full force of
the electrical current and fell over in a
heap. Some of the workmen began
what seemed the impossible task of
bringing back the life breath and the
first-aid work was a success. He was
for over a half hour and
for time he was thought to be dead.

YOUTHFUL TALENT IN
FINE PIANO RECITAL

The piano recital given by Mrs.

success. Every number on the pro-

the various numbers assigned them
proved to the large audience present

credit not only to the students them
selves, but also on their teacher, as
every number showed that careful
training had been done and careful
instructions taken

RED LODGE-BILLINGS
ROAD TO BE GRAVELED

Word was received in Red Lodge
last week by the county commission
ers stating that the Montana State
Highway commission would start on
the work of graveling the road from
Roberts to Boyd. This news is well
come as this was particularly snaky
stretc when wet.
The Red Lodge Billings highway
is considered a county-seat to county
seat road, but is not on the seven per-
cent system as yet and it has been a
hard matter for the highway commits
sion to secure funds for the proper
care of same, but now doubtless the
matter of placing this road in some
division that will insure work being
done on it has been figured out.
