last week it was published as news
that the gentleman who is now Presi-

ters at Broadway hotel while work
ing for the overthrow of Machado
and some of his present cabinet men,
bers were very active in Washington,
where attorneys were utilized and
press agents spread propaganda in
favor of Cuban revolutionaries.
1t should not have been news to
anybody. The anti-Machado junta in
New York and Washington was quite
openly issuing its manifesto. Some
of its activities were not quite so
open. But at any rate, its leaders
made no attempt to conceal their

BY WILLIAM HARD.

T<HERE are at least a couple of
morals readily to be drawn
from the immoralities disclosed
Il in connection with the airmail
contracts in the Post Office
Department and in connection with
the purchases Of airplanes and of mo-
tor vehicles in the War Department.
The first is that it may be just as
well, after all, to have functioning
legislative as well as an executive
branch in the Federal Government.
The disclosures regarding airmail
contracts were of course not due to
former Postmaster General Brown nor
even to the present Postmaster Cen
eral, Mr.. Farley, who has been greatly
overburdened and distracted by his
numerous other public duties as the
promoter of the repeal of the eight
eenth amendment and as the organ
iZer of the political and financial for
tunes of the Dmocratic National Com
mittee, and as the distributor of DEM
ocratic patronage in all the depart
mentS and divisions and bureaus and
-so-called independent" Offices of the
Federal Government, and as the pro-
spective defeater and destroyer next
November of all Senators and Repre-
sentatives who seek reelection after
opposing any Of the administrations
policies.

Unearthing Left to Black.

These activities have made it quite
impossible for Mr.. Farley to address
the full resources of his mind to the
details Of the carrying Of postal mat
ter The unearthing of the scandals
which have attended the carrying of
that matter by airplane had to be left
to a member of that branch of the
Government which nowadays, in the
midst of new deals throughout the
world, is sometimes thought to have
become superfluous. 1t had to be left
to member of what Europe would
call Parliament" 1t had to be left
to Mr.. Black of the Upper House of
the Congress.
The case is the same, though even
more striking. when We turn to the
scandals consummated or attempted
in the sales Of supplies to the War
Department through the Office of
Assistant Secretary of War Woodring.
Mr.. Dern, the Secretary of War, is
most eminent progressive. He is an
ardent and conscientious and morally
lofty new dealer. The transactions
now the object of alarmed and drastic
inquiry by the Bureau of Investiga-
ton Of the Department of Justice
and by a grand jury of the District
of Columbia were put into motion
under the very roof that shelters
Mr. Dern's official desk. Yet did he
find them? Did he reveal them? 1t
is no criticism of him to emphasize
the fact that he did not.
Administrative officials just natu-
rally do not publicly suspect their
| fehow-administrativ officials. They
do not publicly adopt captious and
inyestigatory attitudes toward them.
They do not publicly hasten to drive
stakes through the vttals of their
chums, whether in old deals or in
new. Strange, perhaps, but, in Wash
ington, to date, so.

YOUNGDEM0CRATS.
COMBINE FORCES.
District Unit Formed to Co.
ordinate Work of Clubs
Here.

After prolonged negotiations be-
tween the officers of the three Young
Democratic Clubs in the District OF
Columbia and with the aid of Cliff
Woodward of Iowa, national president,
an organization to be known as the
Young Democratic Clubs of the Dis
trict of Columbia was formulated at
meeting last night. The new set-up
became effective at that time.
The central body, which is modelled
after the State organizations which
take in all Young Democratic Clubs
in the various States, will be COM
posed of representatives of the three
Washington clubs. These are the Dis
trict Division of the Young Demo-
cratic Clubs of America. the Young
Democratic Club of Washington and
the Young Democratic Club of Capitol
Hill, the memberships of which have
formally voted approval of the execu-
tive body.

of the District of Columbia Division of
the Young Democratic Clubs of
America and who is slated to become
president of the new body when the
election is held in January, announced
that he proposed to use every power
at his command to secure national
representation for the District and
hopes to have the new organization
adopt this as one of its main obJec-
tives.
"I am a native Washingtonian with
out a vote" Maj. Walter said, land I
feel that this organization can do no
better than to fight for a vote for the
people of the District of Columbia. y
Central Committee.
Under the new organization an
Executive Committee or Central Com
mittee has been created This COM
mittee will serve as the governing body
and co-ordinating group for all Young
Democratic groups in the District of
Columbia and also will act on all petit
tions for additional clubs that may be
formed in the District; will elect a
national committeeman and commit
teewoman to represent the Young
Democratic Clubs of the District of
Columbia on the National Committee
of the Young Democratic Clubs of
America.
The new set-up in no way alters
the status of the present local clubs,
all of which will be issued charters
and recognized as official units of the
Young Democratic Clubs of the Dis
trict of Columbia.
Final details were completed at
meeting last night of Woodward, Miss
Ruth Lockett of California, national
vice president of the Young Demo-
cratic Clubs of America; Maj. Walter,
