The judiciary committee of the house inquiving in- to the impeachment charges made by Congressman Welty of Ohio, against Judge Kenesaw M. Landis of the Chicago district federal court, who bas accepted outside employment in conflict with his duties as | is a row among the ladies. The men, apparently, are 90 tegislative circles. Sie, could have got away with an of the insurgent Indy members hes declared a “small group of wealthy and politically ingluential says she is determined to “smash the invisible rule over the male legislators by a handful of women, who. prominence in well-organized and aggressive party clubs.” a And again the lady raves, “The conditions exist- ing in New Jersey are intolerable: I am absolutely opposed to this invisible government. I will no¢ sub- mit to dictation from any facion, group or organiza- tion. I will vote as I see fit and introduce ‘shatever bills I believe to be in tt interest-of the scate.” So thore! How natural it all sounds. The lady should be told however that she is pulling old stuff. Similar dec- larations of independence go back to the days of the continental congress and even previcus thereto. There is scarcely a state legislature of the pres- some form or other. The insurgeats seldom get away with anything and the steam foller functions as usual. What makes the present ense interesting is that it being bossed. And then for a lady t¢ charge the existence of an “invisible petticoat government.” We know bettter. .7hey are not worn. in the best “invisible but pettyskirts, never!

Under Will Hays a complete reorganization of the post office department is surely to be expected. Mr. Hays is a thorough organizer, knows and appreciates ing accomplished. He will have a wonderful field for the exercise of his special genius in the department as he receives it from Mr. Burlesdn. ; Because the people come in contact with the postal service more closely than with any other department of the government they are fully cognizant of its general breakdown during Mr. Burleson’s incumbency. More especially since 1916 has it been apparent. From one of the most efficient services to the peo- ple its high value has been destroyed by incompetency in direction and performance until the service has be- come a byword. Mr. Wilson, wholly disregarded the civil service un- til he had filled the department with deserving Denio- crats as well as the first, second and third class post- offices throughout the country_with the same class of judge at a fabulous salary, has unanimously agreed that the judge has erred and recommended a com- plete inquiry into the case with a view to instituting charges of impeachment in regular form and bringing the case to trial. The charges involved the legal and moral charac- ter of the judge’s act in accepting employment as baseball arbitrator at a salary of $42,500 a year. The charge of accepting such employment is proved, in fact would not be denied by the judges. As to the inconsistency of such employment with the duties of the federal judgeship and as to whether such employ- ment would constitute a serious impropriety are ques- tions to be determined by the court of impeachment, should articles be filed. This is the first case of its character that has! arisen since the. organization of the judicial inch of the government and is regarded as ‘a matter of extreme importance in its bearing upon the future of the fed- eral judiciary. General opinion does not apparently ‘uphold, Judge’ if this;great government service cannot be restored to Landis’ action in accepting the baseball employment. The new congress will go into the merits/6f ‘the case.

There retired from the United States senate yes- terday as splendid an American as ever sat in that great body. He is a Democrat, and more, he is a Mississippian by birth and breeding. All of that mat- ters not. He is first an unqualified American. An honor to his country, his state and to the people who sent him to Washington to represent them. ; There is no true American citizen but regrets the retirement of Senator George Chamberlain of Oregon. Although a Democrat in an overwhelmingly Repub- liean state, his success in election to public office has been remarkable. He survived many Republican landslides in his public career but when the avalanche of last November came no human agency could stay it, and Senator Chamberlain went down to defeat. His retirement marks the completion of twelve years of faithful public service. Faithful to his coun- try, to his people and to himself. No man who sat in the senate through America’s great national crisis performed a greater work. Conspicuous among the acts of his first term was his refusal to become recreant to his party's pledge to safeguard and foster the rights of American coast- wise shipping passing through the Panama canal. Other pasty leaders, even the president himself, could betray that promise but not George Chamberlain. It was in January, 1918, that Senator Chamber- lain rendered his most signal service to his country, when he awakened the people by sounding a clarion call to duty for our national defense. Before the Na- tional Security League in New York at that time he fearlessly proclaimed that “‘the military establish- ment of America has fallen down,” and the reason it fell, he added, “‘was because of inefficiency in every bureau and department of the -government of the United States.” A sensational utterance to ‘be made in war time by the chairman of the Senate Military Affairs committee, but how well it served the pressing need of the hour! When it came to speeding up the prosecution of the war Senator Chamberlain more than any .other man of his party deserves the credit. In all of the war legislation he stood for the in- terests of his country and faltered at no point. He did not join in any attempt to make the war a parti- san enterprise. When it came to consideration of Mr. Wilson’s Ver- sailles treaty he was again for America and against hypothecating American independence to a self ap- pointed international committee. Senator Chamberlain, to his eternal credit, earned the enmity of Woodrow Wilson, by his independ- ent, fearless and thoroughly American course of ac- tion at all times and under all circumstances. Star. | Republican national committee which he will relin- uplifters, then he faced about and became the most violent civil service advocae of them all. He even made an executive order including postmasters of the first, second and third classes within the sheltering wing of the civil service. It has been this valaint army of deserving Democrats that has brought the department and the service to its present deplorable state. Mr. Wilson was a most notoriously bad picker of men. He would net have men of ability in his cabinet and it naturally followed that he would not have them elsewhere in his adr:tnistration. President Harding and Postmaster General Hays should clean the department from top to bottom, fu- migate it, and send those undesirable Democrats back to their homes where they can find work that they can do and that will be of greater value than their public employment has been. utive order of 1917 and place men of capacity in the important postoffices of the country and let us see its former prestige. 7 Sh WS a ea DOVER FOR CHAIRMAN.

Thase general in the Harding cabinet, Elmer Dover, .secre- tary of the committee under -Mark Hanna in’ 1896, and identified prominently with national politics ever since, is suggested. Mr. Dover is also a master in the art. of organization, a thoroughly schooled political warrior of the higher type. He would fully maintain the dignity and decency of politics established by Mr. Hays. Back in the days when he was Mark Hanna's pri- vate secretary he cared for the details in the Mc- Kinley pre-convention campaign and the campaign for election. This has long been regarded as one of the greatest political battles ever staged in America. The watchword in that time, originated by Mr. Hanna, himself, was “Leave it to Elmer.” How Elmer got away with it is history. Mr. Dover is a native Ohioan who has gone west to become a prosperous business man in California. ALE. eS as A PROPER START. One of the last acts of the Wilson administration was the designation of today as a legal holiday. The departments of government will be closed down for the day and everybody will have a holiday with pay. It is a very appropriate occasion for observance in this manner but it was scarcely expected that Mr, Wilson would recognize it. It is well, however, that the deserving Democrats begin to get used to vaca- tions for it is likely to be a permanent thing for many of them, PASE J. BULL’S DEBT. Apparently Senator Reed would take the British West! Indies in payment of England’s war debt to the United States. What’s the matter with Canada?
