Public Works Funds
And the Municipal Center

The District Commissioners do well to again call to the
attention of the Public Works Administration their appca-
on for loan with which start construction of the first
unit of the proposed Municipal Center.
This city cost of than $6000000 has acquired the
site for the imposing structure It has eveed the buildings
from useful occupancy
It asks loan of $4,6OO000 to start building
project which, when completed will cost in the neghborhood
Of $20000000.
Dissatisfaction has been expressed by Federal officials at
the delay which being in starting municipal
projects for which Public Works Administration funds have
been advanced.
There could be such for complaint if the Municipal
Center loan granted.
Plans for the first unit drawn and are
gathering the District Building With the change of
very few details in the plans they could be made ready for
contractors.
is estimated by District officials that within 80 days
will start.
That fact should certainly commend the project to secre
tary Ickes and his Public Works Admins
tration
Within month two if the loan granted now, it
is estimated 1000 would be given jobs jobs which will
last for years because of mmensity of the Municipal Gen.
ter project
The project not designed to the Public
Works Administrations problems, but it would certainly
comply with the desire of the Administration get its funds

first the would give It would house the police
and other local courts the Metropolitan Police Depart

Anyone who doubts the necessity of furnishing

minutes in the ramshacke structures which now house the
police and the police courts

should receive immediate and complete assistance which

Raider

Lamar's title of "Wolf"
came from raiding operations
in the form of false propa-
ganda or strike suits against
companies whose stocks he
wished to depress. And he
earned the wrath of Morgan
when he sent an obscure ma
chinist into court to testify
that the stock of the United
States Steel Company was far
too highly priced.
I went to the Lamar home one
night when the police reported
a disturbance there. Mrs. Lamar
explained that La mar had
dashed out of the house, hatless
and coatless, following a dispute
over a chorus girl, and even in
the emotion of the moment she
paid this tribute to the errant
husband: "Mr. Lamar is a
handsome and remarkable man.

Merit Basis

Then, too, there is much the
President can do without au-
thority of Congress to extend
the competitive system of ap-
pointment in the Federal serv-
ice and place the personnel Sys-
tenn on a merit basis.
When Mr.. Roosevelt entered
the White House last March,
there were more than 5000
exempted positions, exclusive of
postmasterships, which could
be added to the competitive
service by Executive order Of
the President.
Since that time, thousands
of new positions have been
created which could be covered
into the competitive service by
a stroke Of the presidential pen.
In fact, exclusive of the
thousands of positions created,
either temporarily or perma-
nently since the present ADJ
ministration entered power last
March, there are over $4,000
out of a total of almost 100000
Federal positions that are still
filled upon political recommen-
dation and without any real
test of qualification.

The Wolf of Wall Street, his
tough hide SCARED with the
brand of the prison pen, has
again escaped the trap of the
law. David Lamar, who once
snapped at the heels of the old
lion, j. Pierpont Morgan, faced
charges of fraud and beat them.
David Lamar is not his name.
No man knows what it is, or
from what den he came.
Bulky, swarthy as an Arab,
with glittering black eyes,
big hawks beak of nose and
raven-black hair, he came pad
ding into New York back in
the days when they were
launching the great corpora
tions. He trailed after Morgan
and Hill and the other captains
of industry, swapping at their
leavings, and making sudden
dashes to pull down prey they
had marked for their own.
Slick and well-tailored, this
Levantine adventurer attached
himself as confidential man to
an aged street railroad presi-
dent, and in little time the old
fellow had lost five million of
his six million fortune. The
Wolf sidled up to the Spectacu-
lar plunger, James r. Keene,
mine owner, speculator and
racing man. Keene used him
for gum-shoeing in extremely
private affairs of the Street.
He cajoled and bullied, but
there was a man he could
neither cajole nor bully-Ed-
ward H. Hartman. When
word was conveyed to Harri-
man that he should play ball
with Lamar or face litigation
against his Southern Pacific
railroad, Harriman's answer
to blackmail was quick and
decisive. He smashed Lamar'S
pool to smithereens.
The Washington times., 1933-10-03
Lillian Russell

Rambling back through an old
diary of newspaper assignments,
and noting along the back trail
some curious episodes in the life
of the Wolf of Wall Street, I
came across some notes of an
interview with the Queen OF
Broadway of her day, Lillian
RusSell-b eautiful, golden
haired, blue-eyed Lillian, who
had more "It" than Elinor Glyn
ever dreamed of in her widest
moments.
Yet with all of the "It" and
"s.a." Lillian Russell had a
world of poise and common
sense, and a heart full of toll
erance for the imperfections
and follies of men and women.
She began her career as a
spear carrier in tights in Tony
Pastors old music hall, and
ended her days as wife of an
ambassador and erSelf a
valued advisor on immigration
problems of the United States
Government.
In that long forgotten inter-
view she exhibited some gems
of her tranquil philosophy. 1T
is perfectly true" she said,
that many people have i'm
posed upon me, but what of
it? I have to go on living,
don't I? Therefore, for my
own sake and happiness,
must go on believing in hu-
man nature.
"A SlOvenIy dressed man
must be lacking in self.respect.
Why should 1 respect him?
"a pretty woman and a race
horse can draw a man further
and hold him longer than any
other combination designed by
Fate.
"The woman who grieves
about anything cannot be beau
tiful. And men love with their
eyes. That is why the pretty
doll with Sawdust brains can
capture a genius or a million
aire.
Love something or other
baby, husband, flower or tree
but love something. Laugh.
Laughter is one of the secrets
of beauty in women"
And then she said with
twinkling eyes: "It's better to
have married wrong than
never to have married at ALL.
She spoke from experience.
She had tried it four times.

SACdII1.
"Just out Of the smelters,"
the con man would murmur
confidentially, releasing the
brick from it's numerous wrap
pings. Big-eyed, the tender
foot would watch the mys-
terious proceedings - lis t e n
eagerly to the fascinating tale
of how the glittering treasure
was released from the stubborn
ore, refined into this precious
package. Presently he would
depart in triumph, cuddling in
his ecstatic fingers the magic
cube for which he had eX-
changed his hard-earned cash.
But of course he didn't cuddle
1t long! For beneath its de-
lightful dazzle, the gold brick
was just common. lead. And
gilded lead is a very unsatis-
factory substitute for hard cash.
We laugh now when we think
Of the stupidity of the gullible
tenderfoot. Yet handling our
selves gold bricks is still our
favorite indoor SPORT
know man who's coward.
Nothing could tempt him to
confess that he is a coward, for
he is both proud and ambitious.
He wants to go far in life, and
he knows that cowardice is a
dreadful handicap. Men would
despise him if he admitted that
he is a coward. He would de-
Spise himself!
So what does he do to hide
from the world, and even from
himself, the shameful fact that
he is a coward?
He hands himself gold
brick! He tells himself that he
is prudent"
Every day, life sends that
man splendid challenges; offers
him splendid adventures. But
of course there is an element of
danger in these challenges and
adventures. They're bound to
bring hardshipS. And suppose
he failed? Suppose people
laughed at him, blamed him?
His craven soul quails before
those possibilities.
But he won't face the fact
that he is quailing. Instead.

"SpOils" System Delays
National Recovery
-By James T. Williams, Jr.

State chairmen, and Demo
cratic local committeeman. the
Roosevelt Administration to
date has found it exceedingly
difficult to protect the merit
system that exists and we'll.
night impossible to extend it.
Secretary IckeS, Secretary
Wallace and Secretary Perkins
have made and are making a
gallant fight for the merit sys-
tenn. But unless they get more
support in the future than has
been their portion in the past,
spoilSmongers will make more
instead of less mischief in the
Departments of the Interior,
Agriculture and Labor.
AS for the other departments,
they offer a most fertile field
for cultivation by an Adminis-
tration quickened by a firm
resolve to raise the standard
and reduce the cost of Federal
administration by basing all
appointments to the Federal
service, except those responsible
for policy, upon a civil service
examination honestly conducted.
President Roosevelt is under
promise to urge the Congress
to extend the merit system
throughout the Postal Service.
But this Congress will refuse
to do unless the President puts
up a real fight and enlists the
support of the informed and
an aroused public sentiment.
