A Lesson for Long.

Senator Huey Long Of Louisiana, is
learning that "Kinghsh" in his own
hopae State may not be so kingly In
Washington. Mr.. Long declined to play
ball with the Roosevelt administration
an several occasions during the recent
session of Congress. And now he is
finding that some Of bis political enc
mics In Louisiana are receiving recogni-
ton and important Federal jobs at the
hands Of the President. Mr.. Long came
ITO Washington to discover what 1t was
all about. He took the matter up with
that great dispenser Of patronage, Post
master General Farley, and went with
him to see the President. The only
answer was the appointment of another
!, Of Mr.. Longs political enemies.
If the Louisiana Kingfish Is resent
full In his heart, he Is keeping 1t to
himself-which in itself is unusual. He
has issued q statement declaring that
s''the President and I are never going
to fall out because Of patronage" He
followed this up with the statement
that he understands the rules Of the
political game and that he will not
: complain If in their application he
dees not get all he wants in the way
of Federal appointments from the ad-
ministration. Mr.. Long insisted that
) the President stood with him for the
.. principle of greater distribution OF
j.. wealth; that with the President he
could get more done for the people,
and that therefore he was going to
: stick to the President.
This sounds both sensible and prac-
tical from q political point Of view.
Should Long break absolutely with the
man who is at present riding high In
the favor Of the whole people. includ-
ing the people Of Louisiana, It would
not aid Mr.. Longs political fortunes
one little bit. In addition, "bucking"
the President of the United States If
he happens to be Of your own polit-
! ical party with large following In the
Senate of the United States Is . difd-
cult Job. Certainly It looks from every

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES Z. TRAcgHELL.

Declsions Of government are unknown
to plants. birds and animals. even when
they Affect them. Perhaps that u one
reason for the beautiful gravity Of ex-
preston on the faces Of tho brute
creatures.
Man Is the only living thing that
knows enough to worry. There may be
some consolation in that reflection,
Human beings were made to worry, over
small or large matters.
It Is impossible IN this world to be-
long to the camp Of those who cry,
why worry?" There Is plenty Of rea-
son for worry; no one will have to look
very far or very long.
Only yonder thrush, hopping around
In the yard after the big storm, Is OBJ
livious Of the great branch Of q tree
lying across one corner where 1t ought
not to be.
The home owner Is very much aware
Of 1t and its presence there constitutes
q worry. Some one will have to come
and take 1t away. Perhaps the entire
tree will have to come down.
The thrush, with his brown back add
speckled gray chest. busily hops around,
looking for worms.
He does not know that the big limb
was aloft but . few hours before or
that 1t is now on the ground. It Is
Just something for him to fly over now
In his quiet search, just Is yesterday II
was something for him to perch ON.
No bird hunts for its food more
pleasantly than the big thrush In the
garden. When Audubon was painting
the birds Of America, the various
thrusheS were described as very shy.
Certainly the century Of progress"
has been busy one for them. they are
90 tame, 50 accustomed to the haunts
Of man. There is no more friendly
bird, no creature in feathers more
charming to see In the early morning.
Now, after the storm, he knows moth
ing of it.
Where was he ut the height Of the
gale? In what branch was he huddled,
waiting for the onslaught Of wind and
rain to cease?
Perhaps he was perched In the very
limb which fell. AS its splintertng
sound alarmed the neighborhood, amid
the rush Of wind and falling rain, he,
Q little bird, calmly new into the air.
He made historic night unheralded
and unsung. No committee met him,
no tons Of white paper few through the
air, but he sailed on his way as well
as any.
-
The thrush doesn't worry, because he
doesn't have to, but man was born to
trouble as the sparks dy upward, 80 we
have been told, and, to this date, no
body has contradicted that successfully.
A little worry. now and then, Is rel
ished by the wisest men. It Is Ques-
tionable whether the lines Of care and
trouble which crease middle-aged brows
come entirely from worry. The cares
and troubles have something to do with
them.
Worry. as . state Of mind, may be
overdone, much as any other state OF
mind.
Some proper handling is necessary.
And then, too, there are experts at
worrying, Just as at tennis. and golf,
and bridge, and railroads, and navies.
and the like.
There are expert worriers. none OF
your amateur fanciers, who know just
what to do with worry to make 1t yield
the biggest returns.

Merit System Hit Again.

Unless the "unblanketing" from their
civil service status Of the Bureau oi
Foreign and Domestic Commerce en-
ployes by executive order was for the
purpose Of creating political Jobs. 1t +
. little hard to see the point.
1t Is true that the employees Of the
bureau were ''blanketed In" by President
Coolidge and by President Hoover, and
1t Is true that those who are "blanketed
IN" may expect some day to be
"blanketed out" But the point IS this
Those who were ''blanketed in" by
President Hoover had been required to
take non-competitive civil service ex-
aminations, and If any of them were
replaced, by death, retirement or
resignation, their successors had to take
competitive examinations. Now, the re-
suit Of the Presidents Executive order
is to put them all on q non-competitive
basis again. Those who won their right
to work for the Government in this
agency through competitive examina-
tion are out in the cold, along with
those who were "blanketed In" after
non-competitive examination.
If the purpose Of the Presidents ex-
ecutive order was to Gull out the al
legged political Office holders and the
unfit, then the order would obviously
have placed the positions in the bu-
reau under the classified civil service,
and those who filled such offices would
have been required to take competi-
tive examination. But the bureau IS
just where it was in the beginning. Its
positions are to be filled by non-com-
petitive examination. And filing them
by competitive examination means
filling them by appointments dictated
by the ALLEGATIONS Of political patron
age.
As regards the Bureau of Foreign
and Domestic Commerce, the nub Of
the matter lies now in whether those
persons deprived Of civil service pro-
lection by executive order viii be given
preference and allowed to take nom
competitive examinations over again
or whether they are to be removed, one
by one, to make way for political ap-
pointees. It would be interesting, and
certainly enlightening, to know what
policy will be followed in this respect.
But 1t is highly improbable that any
body will and out, except through
watching the result day by day.
In such agencies as the Bureau Of
Foreign and Domestic Commerce that
are covered into the civil service, in
cumbents taking non-competitive ex-
aminations and future incumbents be-
ing selected through competitive exam
nation, 1t Is only q matter Of . few
years before all positions are occupied
by employees chosen according to merit.
The unfortunate aspect Of this particu-
lar transaction lies in the fact that
gains for the merit system, accom-
plished by putting the positions under
the classified service, are undone. The
jobs are made political spoils. As long
as jobs In the Federal service are re-
garded as political spoils the merit sys-
TEN is in constant danger, and ell
cheney of public service is of secondary,
II Of any, importance.

Post-Mortems at London.

Whether on the theory that decency
requires the lately departed to be spoken
of only with respect, or for some other
reason, the post-portems which accom-
panied yesterdays recess" Of the Lon
don Conference were marked by q note
of unconquerable optimism. No one ex-
cept Soviet Russia's spokesman would
admit that the conference had proved
a fasco. President Roosevelt, who, ever
, since his devastating broadside to Lon
don from the cruiser Indianapolis on
> July 8, ranked as Jack the Giant
Killer" sent the concluding session a
d, cablegram categorically declaring that
I he does not regard the Economic Con-
ference as q failure" because there
: had been "an interchange Of views and
"a full discussion of problems that make
PROGRESS more and not less possible IN
the future"
Prime Minister Macdonald whose
painful duty. as presiding officer. It was
to bring proceedings to their futile close,
echoed Mr.. Roosevelt's good cheer. Let
there be no mistake about it," he said,
this Is a recess and not an adjourn
ment. The need for agreement on the
subjects of our agenda is as great as
ever"
Mr.. Macdonald embraced opportu-
nifty, in the expiring moments OF the
conference, just as he did in Its open
ing phase, to refer to war debts. "Un-
less creditor countries are prepared"
he exclaimed, ito accept goods and
services In payment of debts, they can
not be paid. Efforts made to disregard
this elementary principle have pro-
duced the fall In prices which Is
ruinous to debtors and creditors alike"
This has all the earmarks Of an ad-
monition addressed directly tU the
United States. Perhaps it Is the key
note the British will strike in impend-
ing debt negotiations at Washington.
Even the French did not do any
crepe-hanging as taps was sounded
in the London Geological Museum.

clared Finance Minister Bonnet.

silver agreement are beyond doubt re-
liable guarantees for the future" !"
Finance Minister Jung Of Italy insisted
that the candor with which world prob
lens were discussed would be of per-
manent value, even If it had resulted
in q postponement Of negotiations. :"
Viscount Ishu Of Japan spoke in SINH
lar strain.
It fell to the lot Of Secretary Of State
Hull, chairman of the American dele
cation, to utter an eloquent valedictory,
which, to Judge by the manner Of its
reception by the entire conference. may
fairly be assumed to express its COM
posite view. I'VE are unitedly re-
solved" he said, ito move forward
together In our common cause. The
duty and responsibility of the confer
ence are well known to us, as they are
to every intelligent citizen on the
planet. I pray that each Of us may
be given the light clearly to see and
fully to understand. We cannot falter.
We will not quit. We have begun and
we will go on"
There could be no more fitting
epitaph for The Great Disappointment
of 1888.

MOTION PICTURE
 EVILS ASSAILED
Former Harvard President Traces Discomfort of
 Youngsters to Films

Boston, Oct 25.--(UP)-Former President A. Lawrence Lowell of Harvard university assailed blind buying, block billing and other al- legged evils of the moving picture industry in an address before the Massachusetts Civil league and the Twentieth Century club yesterday.
 Speaking in his capacity as presi- dent of the Motion Picture Re- search Council, he warned that this generation would go the way of the Roman empire unless good people try to. do something about it."
 The 75-year old educator said 1t had been found that much discon- tent voiced by young people was traceable to movies which had cultivated q desire for fine clothes and automobiles; that delinquent adolescents admitted that the movies gave them their first inn pulse to commit petty crime.
 Some 800 persons attending the meeting signed a petition to Re- covery Administrator Hugh John- son asking that the moving picture code:
 1. Forbid block billing.
 2. Forbid blind-buying.
 8. Provide that pictures be ade- quately described and trade-shown before being offered to exhibitors for rental.
 {. Forbid producers to give .theatersr they own monopoly or priority in the exhibition of films, so that the motion picture trade will be open to all dealers.
 5. Exclude provisions which would prevent schools, churches, museums and the like from renting or exhibiting current films with or without fees.
