when Congress adjourned
there was pending a bill to
overthrow the spoils system
throughout the Federal service.
This was the Logan Bill, spon-
sored by Senator Logan Of Ken
lucky. 1t provided for the ex-
tension Of the protective require
ments Of the Civil Service Act
to all Federal positions now ex-
empt from its operation, with
these two exceptions:
/. Federal positions subject to
Senatorial confirmation.
2. Federal positions exempted
by Executive order issuable only
by the President.
AS long as l-r. Farley is per-
mitted to run the national poll
tics of his party from the office
of the Postmaster General OF
the United States it is safe to
say that neither the Logan Bill
nor any other measure designed
to loosen the grip of the Spoils
monger of politics upon the
throat of Federal adminiStra-
tion will be passed.
SUPINE SURRENDER
According to he National
Civil Service Reform League the
Seventy-third Congress appears
at first glance to have made a
more supine surrender to spoils-
men than the present Congress.
But a close scrutiny of the 1885
record of the present Congress,
according to the Leagues sur
vey, shows a succession OF at
tacks on the merit system as
persistent and even more sub
tle."
Of the important legislation
enacted at the last session the
League finds that only one bill
the Guffey-Snyder Bituminous
Coal Regulation Bill requires
that all the positions it creates
shall be in the classified service
that is they must be filled as
the Civil Service Act prescribeS.

spoilsmen is chiefly due to the

To improve on nature by
changing your personal color
scheme, from your hair to your
toe-nails, is one of the oldest
human instincts in the world.
Even the savages painted them
selves until they reSembled a
beach umbrella or a fancy
awning.
But it was not until the COM
ing of the beauty craze and the
cult of slendernesS. the lipStick
and platinum hair, that civilized
women began to regard nature
as a double-crosser and beauty
as a positive necessity.
In these days, to be born
beautiful saves a woman not
only a lot of heartaches, but
a lot of money. The poor
est working girl will spend her
weeks salary and go without
lunches for a month just for
a hair tint that will last only a
few weeks and the latest shape
in eyebrows.
And why do they do it? Be-
cause they love to suffer? All,
no! They do it because it is
less painful to suffer under the
hands of a beauty specialist
than to suffer as the forgotten
Woman!"

Unfortunately for the public

tated through Mr.. Farley more
appointments to the Federal
service, in complete disregard
Of the merit system, than has
been done under any admins
tration since the Civil Service
was started, more than so years
ago.
This has been done in spite
of the frequent protests of Sena-
tor Norris of Nebraska, who,
early in the Administration, de-
manded the removal of Mr..
Farley either from the office of
Postmaster General or from the
Craftsmanship of the Democratic
National Committee.
Senator Norris has repeatedly
cried out against the sordid rule
of the spoilsmen, not only upon
the ground that the SpoilS Sys-
tenn breeds bad administration,
but also upon the ground that,
in the long run, it is the worst
of bad politics.
BAD POLITICS
OF the spoils system this
veteran progressive leader
warned the Senate at the last
session:
"It always leads to ineffi-
cheney and often to corruption,
and always to extravaganza.
"In the end, no matter what
party may be in power at the
time, we shall always spend
more money by having officials
who put their friends into Of
flee, increase their salaries and
fix salaries for them different
from those which are fixed for
Government employees in other
lines.
Although a party in power
may make a political machine
of governmental office, yet the
chickens will awayS come home
to rOost No such party can
continue to live, because it is
founded upon a false principle"
Of course, Postmaster Gen
eral Farley and Senator Norris
were not trained in the same
school of politics. They are as
far apart as the spokesman and
the statesman always are.

Many Advantages

Committees of the Washington Board of Trade are
taking long look ahead into the ctys transportation
problem when they back the proposed survey Of the
feasibility of subways for this community
Washington cannot go indefinitely the uU0y it is
going.
We have already killed than eighty persons this
year (and this is not exceptional year) in traffic
accidents.
WE HAVE MADE AUTOMOBILE OPERATION
NOT ONLY HIGHLY DANGEROUS BUT IN MANY
INSTANCES NUISANCE TO THE OWNER AND
OPERATOR OF THE AUTOMOBILE
And although we have been confronted with the prob
lem for long time, we haven't made any important
progress toward its solution.
AS matter of fact the palliatves which we have
adopted have not ironed out difficulties but have
seen the difficulties constantly increase
The suggestion that we put our transportation
facilities underground holds hope for substantial
Improvement of conditions.
Even the partial elimination of street and q
dimnuon of buses the surface streets should prove
. real help.
Certainly it would make life more vable for those
who now depend privately owned vehicles for their
transportation and there is little doubt that THOSE
DEPENDING ON PUBLIC VEHICLES WOULD BE
MORE SPEEDILY AND EFFICIENTLY SERVED.
The principal question which arises in connection
with the subway proposal is the COST
No one knows what effective subway system would
cost in Washington and 1t IS this which the BOARD OF
Trade committees and all others interested in safe and
efficient transportation want to find out.
It is possible that the cost would outweigh the ad-
vantares which would come from installation of such
system.
But that has not been found to be the case in other
cities which have resorted to this device.
Certainly subwoys uuould the Ualue of every
automobile in the city by making their more con-
Oenient -
They uUOud probably curta greatly the loss of life due
to our present impossible traffic situation
And they UOud Uasty increase the Uauc OF real estate
in the outlying sections of the community.
IN VIEW OF THE POSSIBLE ADVANTAGES 1T
WOULD SEEM THAT SPENDING $4,000 TO FIND
OUT THE COST WOULD BE WELL WORTHWHILE.

naturally, that means a nation

Barney Baruch, astute fin
ancier, returns from Europe in
a mood of possibly wholesome
disillusionment about world
Statecraft. He, says our best
bet is a bold and affirmative
neutrality, based on realities.
One of the unrealities which he
warns us against is the naive
idea that there is any dividing
line between contraband and
non-contraband.
He advances, bluntly, the idea
that, taking war as it is, it is
time to pass up that "one more
round" and go home and stay
there. Gene MacArthur'S
blueprint of a motorized war
makes all this seem mighty con-
vincing.
SAFE SPECIFIC
Mr.. Baruch'S conclusions
bring forward the alternative of
an effective internal economy
which will enable us to attend
to our own knitting if war
starts. Here the picture is more
pleasing. New York city is en-
tertaining about 80 per cent
more out-of-town buyers than
at this time last year. They
are buying more. Tiny rivuletS
of consuming power in thou
sands of American crossroads
are pouring into the main con-
fluence of renewed economic
Solvency.
Self-suStaining regional vital
ity is a mighty important diff
ferential in making it possible
for America to go its own way
and keep clear of wars and war
mongers. It is based upon our
infinite resources. After all. it
is the lack of recources which Is
the basic war urge-vide italy,
Germany and Japan-and, TAX
ing a look at the vast national
f1ux OF goods, as we see it in the
New York fall buying season,
there seems to be no reason why
we shouldn't stay busy and
happy at home.
One of the characters in John
Galsworthy'S Fraternity" OBJ
served that well-fed rats in a
grainery got on famously and
were sleek and amiable. But II
you trapped them in a wire cage
without food, they started
fights. So, as an alternative to
war, we have not only the moral
and humane inducements to
keep out of war, but. more than
any other nation of the world,
we have at hand the only safe
specific against war-the max
ingS of a healthy and solvent in
