DR.. Tindall,s Service

LII. william Tindall's sixty-one years
spent IN the service of the District have
given MIN unique position that he alone
can Ill., not only as a worker in the
RANKS OF municipal employees, but in
the esteem of his fellow Washing
tonlans. In years he has passed the
usual limit for retention in service
under the retirement law, and ordi-
narlly there would be no sound reason
to urge an exception in his case that
would bring about a third extension.
But the case of DR.. Tindall is extraor-
binary In more ways than one. An
amendment to the District appropria-
ton Dill, again postponing his COM
pulsory retirement, would not estab-
lish a precedent calculated to embarrass
future administrators of the retirement
act. In small way it would consti-
tute an inadequate recognition of DR..
Tindaifs value as we'll as a reward
for faithful service.
A student of Washington, DR.. TindalI
is one of the few real experts whose
nlIlilaUe kIloWleoge of the Capital City
has been stored away in volumes that
Will continue to bear fruit long after
his laborS cease. Much of this knowl-
edge was set down from the point of
view of one who watched the develop
ment of the city from the inside. And
many of the details of historical fact
that were never put in tvoe ara oar-
ried in his mind, readily accessible be-
cause of an alert memory that is con-
stantly called upon to serve those who
work with him.
Many men who have enjoyed the
blessings of long life and active work
that have come to DR.. Tindall would
welcome the opportunity of retirement
and rest. But DR.. Tindall himself pre-
fers to carry on. His wishes should
settle a matter that is, after all, not
very complicated

California flights in which Lindbergh
is now engaged are undertaken in the
hope of setting an American endurance
record ahead of that of eight hours,

The HazerS Hazed.

Really, the Senators who have under
taken to haze Mr.. Grundy as a new
conner in the Upper House of Congress
ought now to realize that he is not an
easy mark. One of them on Saturday
sought to embarrass him by bringing
forth speech delivered by the Penn
Sylvanian some months ago in the
course of which he theoretically criti-
cized the President. Others took up the
ball and kept it batting back and forth
for time. The Senate paused in its
consideration of the resolution for the
provision of an inquiry into Haitian
conditions for this depression, paused
for the better part of an hour. Mean
while the junior Senator from Pennsyl-
vania, object Of the persifiage, sat i'm
perturbably in his place and listened.
When it was all over he arose and in
one minute made the proceeding al
together ridiculous. What he said may
be considered as his maiden speech"
in the Senate. If its brevity may be
regarded as an index to future vocal
performances Mr.. Grundy qualities for
a very worthwhile Senator, from the
point Of view of the public. This speech
disqualifies him, however, in the light
of the tradition that the Upper House
is prolix and tireless in disputation.
What Mr.. Grundy said on Saturday
was so directly to the point Of matter
that is just now quite prominent in the
public thought that there is every
likelihood that he will henceforth for
the remainder of his service in the
Senate be an object of keen interest to
visitors. He will be pointed out to them
as the new man who dared to chastise
his critics and confined himself to less
than one hundred and fifty words in so
doing. There was something almost
draconian in its directness. Judged
from the standpoint of the orator 1t
was not a brilliant performance. But
somehow, by dint of definite application,
it gained more notice than a longer,
more brilliant flow of speech.
The Senate is now considering the
tariff bill, which has been before it for
more than three months. It pauses
every now and then-mostly now-to
talk of other things, very much after
the generous prescription of the IYalrus.
Nobody can foretell what q day will
bring forth in the way of DEPRESSION.
To tell an inquirer that the tariff is
under discussion in the Senate is not
necessarily to discourage him from at
tending in the hope Of diversion. Every
thing under the sun is meat for the
oratorical ogre. Now comes Mr.. Grundy,
balted for an hour, and tells the Senate,
This exhibition certainly ought to be
notice to every right thinking person
in the United States as to the character
Of discussion which is occupying the
time and attention Of some members of
the Senate to the exclusion of important
problems which are now confronting
the country"
Appropriately, this closed the discus
sion. There was nothing more to be
said. A vote was taken on the pending
amendment and the Senate went on
to debate the Haitian question on its
merits, as it were. And that was that,
and today Mr.. Grundy wears a halo
that is distinctly visible to the citizens
at large, though perhaps not to .his
colleagues.

Wet Sentiment Test Approved
But Dry Law Changes Doubted

Test Of the real sentiment toward
present prohibition laws by means of an
amendment to be voted on in Congress
ana referendum placed before the
whole people are looked upon by the
majority of the press as a worthy effort.
Many doubts are expressed, however,
tnat the results in either case would
point to any change.
AS to a simple referendum, proposed
by Senator Watson, the New York
Herald Tribune suggests that it would
NIL a long-felt want" and that it
should be a referendum by States, y
holding that eff we knew where the
States stood, it. would clear the air of
great deal of bitter controversy based
on guesswork." Merit is seen by the
Charlotte News in this plan, for. it holds.
I'VE have better than a mere notion that
the returns would everlaStingly put a
quietus on the VETS" while the Houston
Chronicle expresses opposition, with the
argument, THE proposition is like ask
ing the owner of piece of property to
pitch pennies with you to see who shall
own the property" 1t advises the op-
ponents of the liquor laws to "offer
some plan which will settle the matter
once for ALL
IF the vote were close, the situation
would be about the same as it was
before the referendum, declares the
Sioux Falls Daily Argus, and the Rock
Island Argus says of the prospect:
Such referendum, if taken in every
State and representing at least as heavy
vote as that recorded in presidential
elections, might be Of value in eStimat-
ing the sentiments of the people. 1t
is open to question if the referendum
would settle ANYTHING"
Is there any reason" asks the Salt
Lake Deseret News, why the con-
stitutional procedure by which the other
Is amendments to the Constitution
were made part of that instrument is
insufficient for this particular one? To
talk referendum in this case Is simply
evasion and subterfuge" The Apple
ton Post Crescent feels that the vote
would be valuable as disclosing as
nearly as might be aScertained the
present state of mind toward prohibit
ton throughout the country" The Ann
Arbor Daily News concludes that, "aS a
matter of principle, the referendum idea
appears reasonably sound, but blind
election, to be decided upon yes and
no basis, would not produce salts
factory solution for the present prob
lens, Before the people cast their bal
lots they must have safeguards against
return of the corner saloon, whatever
else may happen"
X X X X
Senator Watson, it should be noted"
comments the South Bend Tribune,
has been dry in politics when COM
mitmentS were unavoidable. His idea,
however, is that the two major parties
should not be forced TO mix prohibition
and politics. In brief, he holds that
prohibition is not a legitimate issue,
at least while the major parties are
forced to emphasize other issues. The
Senator's proposal may be an attempt
to force prohibition into position as

be, upon occasion, the hero or the pal
or the buffoon or whatever else the
awful strain of the long months of dirt
and hunger and exposure and fighting
may suggest as the only thing for that
particular exigency. Now, that the
mood of the people has changed, as it
was due to change, this book, a prize of
the French Academy. comes to us in
translation that appears to have held
to the fine enthusiasts, to the really
spiritual moments, of Bourru and his
friends as they sought to turn away the
German soldiers from a complete de-
struction of the sacred hill of Vauqouis.
The whole of the war Is here in a few
poilus and the beloved height from which
all their lives they have looked out upon
the homeland. Remember, this is no
idealization-it is Bourru himself, sacred
to death at one minute, fighting mad at
the next, cross when he Is starving,
bearish when he IS freezing-but, never
thelesS and Notwithstanding, here is
Bourru, the common soldier who did the
work Of warfare, who did most of the
dying as well. There are just about
three books, no more so far, to go with
this one in its Illuminating power over
a thing that must not be forgotten.
And this is one of the three that make
for NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Of the
active and determined sort.
