In the instance which has caused the
action OF the Bar Association there is
no suggestion of a criticism Of the abil-
ity or character of the appointee. On
the contrary, his ability and high char
acter are unhesitatingly admitted. The
action of the association rests upon the
fact that the solitary actually District
representative on the Court of Appeals,
whose death was so severe a shock to
the community recently. is to be sue
ceeded by one who cannot be considered
as in any legal sense representative of
the Capital.
Enactment of statute covering this
situation may be difficult to obtain, but
that difficulty does not deter the Bar
Association from bringing the equities
of the case before Congress in the effort
to secure, this definition of proper
division of representation upon the
bench.

The District Courts.

Disappointed in their efforts to secure
the appointment of a District resident
ana locally experienced member OF the
District bar In succession of the late
Justice Hitz of the Court of Appeals, the
members of the Bar Association have
launched campaign for the securing
from Congress of an act requiring that
three of the five members of that court
be residents of this jurisdiction. There
Is entire equity in this demand The
question of the representation of the
District upon the higher courts which
serve the Capital Jurisdiction is one OF
long standing It applied to the District
Supreme Court long before the Court
of Appeals was established, and it has
applied to that court as well,
The argument for proper proportion
of District judicial talent upon these
two branches is irrefutable. These are
local courts, in that they serve this local
jurisdiction. The greater part of the
business coming before them is the busi-
ness of the people of the District. They
are Federal courts as well, to be sure,
In that they are the only tribunals
before which cases Of local origin in
volving the United States may be

Public Works and Wages

In the new dispensation Of public re-
lationS it would seem that the Govern
ment, having undertaken to take part
in the adjudication of wages in labor
disputes, should assume responsibility
for changes in costs for public construc-
ton that may occur between the bidding
and the execution of the work. Yet q
decision just rendered by the controller
general sets up a different principle.
holding contractor to his bid regardless
of anything that may develop in the
way of wage advances. The case Is that
of the new annex to the Library of Con-
gress, for which the successful bidder
got the contract for $6,269, 400, figuring
on the then prevailing carpenter wage
of $125 an hour. Since the award Of
the contract q new agreement has been
entered into in the District of Columbia
between the master builders and the
carpenters raising the scale to $1.37h
an hour. Then came the contractor with
application for a proportionate increase
in the contract price. And finally came
the controller with his ruling that in
making his bid the contractor had
assumed wage risks for twelve-month
period from the date of the award. 1t
does not appear from the news reports
whether that was nominated in the
bond, as it were. However, the con-
tractor contends now that the Govern
ment owes him an equity of adjustment
to settle strike that is in progress at
the work as the carpenters claim the
right to be paid at the prevailing scale.
1t is pretty generally understood that
there is no appeal from the rulings of
the controller general. Accordingly the
impasse is not to be broken save perhaps
by arbitration. Nevertheless the wage
fixing function of the Government. which
is one of the features of the present
program of administration, might pos
Sibly prove to be the solvent of what
otherwise may become a troublesome,
perhaps costly, situation.

and the well being of those things that
we most cherish.
Loyalty to family and pledged friend
ships; this we must have else we dis
integrate and degenerate. That new
test is upon us that calls for loyalty to
our moral and religious ideals Is clearly
evident. We have gone along our way
regarding our churches and other benef-
icent agencies as being SO fixed in gen.
eral esteem that our expressed loyalty
to them has been formal, and at times
apathetic. An expression of corporate
religious conviction was satisfied /by a
brief hour of religious service once a
week, Beyond this the short periods of
private devotion constituted the express
sion of our loyalty to Christian ideals.
We embalmed our loyalties in creedS
expression of faith largely within the
cloistered walls of the church.
The time has now come where severe
test is being placed upon these express
sions of piety and religious fervor. Our
creeds and our religious convictions
must be taken out of the wrappings in
which they have so long been confined
and a practical demonstration of their
value given to the world in which we
live If our churches have become
reservoirs of power, places in which we
find stimulation to high thinking and
wholesome living. those who give their
adherence to them must show forth
their faith by their works. We shall
best interpret to an incredulous world,
and especially to our young, what we
hold of deep religious convictions by
making them evident in word and deed
and in all the concerns and habits of
our daily life. The Master questioned
the loyalty of the pharisee who, in his
self-conceit, thanked God that he was
not as other men are. He paid high
praise to the publican who recognized
his own shortcomings and sins, and de-
clared: "This man went down to his
house justified, rather than the other. "
The call for loyalty to Christian ideals
and a Christian habit of life has never
been more urgent or insistent than it
is today.

LOYALTY
BY THE RIGHT REV. JAMES E. FREEMAN D. D. L. D. D. c. L,
BISHOP WASHINGTON.

The late Prof. Josiah Royce Of Har.
ward maintained that loyalty was one of
the supreme virtues. Underlined as it
may be in our individual and corporate
lives, 1t Is basic and fundamental to our
security and happiness. 1t may be, and
often is, true that an expression Of 10y
atty is drawn from us under trying and
exacting conditions. A crisis compels us
to take a stand that involves what we
hold of conviction and devotion to a
common cause or principle. Patriotism,
or love OF country, does not disclose itself
except under the pressure of events. It
is latent and quiescent virtue that
does not become articulate or demon
strative until the orderly ways of life and
our own personal concerns are disturbed
or threatened. Once our individual in
terests are challenged and our personal
concerns affected we become voluble in
Affirming our loyalty to the state, the
Constitution and the flag.
This habit of holding our loyalty in
reserve until an untoward event occurs
characterizes our whole life. The strong
est expressions of loyalty are disclosed
when our private concerns are invaded
and our conceitS called in question.
Loyalty is both an individual and cor,
porate virtue Mass loyalty expresses
itself in terms of patriotism. 1ndi-
vidual loyalty expresses itself in terms
of devotion to the interests that are
nearest and dearest to us. Undoubtedly
loyalty to an ideal or principle is its
highest form of expression. Obviously
there are mistaken loyalties that grow
out of prejudice and bias.
The present critical world situation Is
taxing some of our long standing, if in
articulate, expressions Of loyalty. Lat
terly, with the rapid movement of events
and the sweeping changes that have
come over institutions that seemed fixed
and impregnable, we have been COM
PEELED to redefine to ourselves what our
real loyalties were and are. 1t may be
that the enforced disciplines that we are
experiencing will develop in us new
strength of character and issue in finer
demonstration of what we hold as indis-
pensable to the security of the state

Calvert Street Bridge.

With the simple act of removing q
light wooden barrier the new Calvert
Street Bridge was in part opened to
traffic yesterday morning. Only, how
ever, in part, for the bridge is not yet
quite complete and the northern half
alone is in service. Very soon the other
half will be finished, and then the via
duct will take its place with the other
new and handsome structures that of
recent years have replaced inadequate,
decrepit and. in some cases, unsafe ones.
The half f-and- half method of opening
the Calvert Street Bridge is in itself
feature of the unusual manner of exc
cutting this enterprise. It was necessary
to maintain traffic across the creek at
that point while the construction was
in progress To that end the old bridge,
concerning the stability of which much
doubt existed, was physically moved
considerable distance, braced securely
into position, linked up with the street
lines and thus restored to service,
with only a brief interruption of the
traffic. That was a most satisfactory
piece of work.
A short time ago a radical change in
the method of transporting a great
number of people to and from the city
daily permitted and, it may be said,
occasioned material alteration in the
street paving on Connecticut avenue and
on Calvert street. That work was under
taken and has now reached the point
at which direct travel between the east
and west banks of the creek by the new
viaduct is possible. So the north half
of the bridge was hastened to compile
ton, turned over to service as a street
and thus the way is open for direct COM
murication This ends the need to use
the old bridge. and its demolition is now
to occur, removing the last vestige Of
long-feared menace to public security.
The handling of this difficult engineer
ing problem has been such as to evoke
the praise of all who have observed the
progress of the work. From the NOV
ing of the old structure, June Z, 1884, to
the lowering of the barrier yesterday, a
span of sixteen months, the flow OF
traffic has been free and there have been
no blockades and no accidents. Public
patience has been manifest despite occa-
sional delays, for everybody knew that
the work was difficult and that the
conditions incident to it were awkward.
Probably there will be no formalities of
ceremony when the new bridge has been
brought to full completion and is opened
for traffic to the limit of its capacity. But
on that day there will be earnest graft
tude for the ultimate accomplishment
of a long desired purpose, the replace
ment of an ugly, insecure and always
dreaded viaduct with permanent,
strong and beautiful bridge for the maxi
mum service of the community.
There are not many more such works
to be undertaken in the District. But
those few cases of inadequate bridges
are in line for eventual solution by re-
placement with modern structures. Per-
.haps quite soon.

Historic HOrseplay.

A striking demonstration OF the i'm
provement that four decades have
brought to the great American sport OF
foot ball, patronized annually by mil
lions of persons, was given at the United
States Naval Academy the other day in
connection with the ninetieth ami
versary celebration of the institution.
1t took place between two halves of q
particularly brilliant example of the
modern open game and If those followers
of the pastime who may tend to deplore
the passing of the old heroic" days
could see it in the movies, there would
be none left in the land to mourn the
horse and buggy era of the pigskin
sport.
Two teams of "plebes," clad in the
authentic garb of the 80s and early COS,
took the field and gave an imitation Of
the game as it was played in the now
happily past age. True, their rendition
was somewhat of burlesque, but all in
all, they did nothing that was not done
in the golden nineties." The lines
played cheek-to-cheek; the players piled
on dozen deep: there were hurdlings,
half-arm jolts and other pleasant diver
sions- The guardsback and the tackles
back plays were shown in all their bone
crushing force. The rules Of the year
1894 were used to the very letter. Canvas
jackets. quilted trousers, shin and nose
guards were worn and knitted caps or
bandages alternated with the "chrysan-
themum" haircuts of the days of beef,
Drawn and minimum Of brains. To
make the picture more complete, Paul
Dashiell, leading umpire of that period,
officiated, wearing derby and gloves and
carrying both cane and lighted perfecto.
The old game was a riot in one sense,
the reproduction in another, but it made
spectators realize how far along the
sport has come.
It is thus with games, as with almost
everything else. Few fans who follow

families of the South, whose occupations
even now are jeopardized.
The authors of the study OF tenant
problems suggest that way may be
found by resettlement Of the more COM
petent families on small farms Of their
own where they could raise their food
and have chance for Improvement.
This idea has taken fire in Congress,
where q billion-dollar fund for use in
turning farm tenants into farm owners
nearly got approval. At present DR..
Tugwell Is planning to tackle the job OF
helping tenants get new start, but his
resources in the Resettlement Admins

recognized as one Of the major planning
problems Of the country, and New
Dealers who believe in planning expect
to be tackling 1t sooltr or later.

For the joy of honest folks.
Jokes in curious forms are cast,

One that's built on truth secure
May for centuries endure.
