Deming, of the United States civil sery ico commission came from V hington to vote and spend a couple of weeks looking after prop erty Interests at Cheyenne. Before leaving Cheyenne a day or two ago to resume his duties at Washington, he expressed the hope that public opinion would be strong enough In time to compel congress to place all federal employment under the classified service. He wants, presidential postmasters, prohibition directors, collectors of customs and internal rev- enue and all similar appointments -removed from the patronage list and delivered over to his commission to produce so-called eligibles. Evidently he holds the opinion that congre: men and senators are no longer able to select suitable appointees to fill what few official ap- pointments that rem: outside the classified list. He would take away the small patronage that is now enjoyed by the congressmen. . It still is, and always will be a large\ques- tion, whether appointees secured | by civil serv- ice examination or by recommendation by con- gressmen backed by political committee endorse- ment, provides the more efficient official or em- vloye. : We may have outlived the day of “to the victor belongs the spoils” and “turn the rascals out,” but since we have abandoned these things po- litical organization has suffered and party» reg- ularity has been more difficult to enforce, and straight tickets have grown fewer. It is more difficult, since civil service has come.in to de- stroy hope in party workers, to induce the same interest in party affairs as formerly. It has been a long time since any regular Re- publican or Democrat has risen in his place in congress and taken a wallop at what he might Ho ers have settled down and accepted the curse and the recent comers, of course, know nothing about the good old days. While the patronage system had its draw- backs, at the same time it had its recompense in a militant party organization for the party in power. It wag a factor in keeping the Repub- lican party in power from 1860 to 1888, and a very strong factor in keeping’ the Democratic party in power from 1912 to 1920. The civil service commission has had some very rough sledding in maintaining its standing as a part of the government. One party would safely shelter a class of federal employes under the wing of the:commission and the next ad- ministration, needing places for its devoted fol- lowers would suspend the former order and take the jobs it needed. Public opinion, if it ever takes the trouble to think of the civil service commission at all, thinks of it as a somewhat useless appendage and one of the numerous bureaus under the government that could bolished and not be missed or regretted. The Parking Problem Until a solution is worked out, the parking problem will remain with us. Not only with us but with every other town and city in the United Phe daily press is loaded with opinion estion, compli and threat, but in none of it is there as much as one sane and helpful proposal, On the Pacifi sets up this wail: “There ig-one automobile for every three per- 1s in San Fernando, according to an estimate just Completed ‘here. There are 1800 automobiles and trucks in the city. The ure approximately 1300 homes within the city’s limits or more than there are uges, which, it is said, is not an unusual case in other towns. New automobile owners are increas. ing so fast here that the traffic problem is get ting away from the city authorities. “Plans are now on foot to redraft new travel ordinances, which in ‘tiie end, may lead to roping automobile traffic from the business districts of the city.” Over on the Atlantic seaboard a citizen writes one of the New York papers follows: “T wonder why it is ne to join the mag. istrates and jaywalkers in condemning persons who park their cars in vacant spaces along the streets. “From time immemorial it has been the vus tom for the driver of a team of horses to draw ap at the curb and tie up to a hitching post or a portable weight deposited on the sidewalk. The sresent day vehicle is drawn by thirty or forty horses, but occupies only about half as much space the one-horse vehicle of former ¢ »f course, there are more of them, and the tr coast the city of San Fernando ur 2 us. ind the problem will not be solved by merely Casper Daily Tribune issued every evening| being hauled awey to a “pound.” sociated Press is exclusively entitled to the] cars are contin 9.00] tive industry is to ignore a fundamental fact 2.00) of our civilization; a store, 5 | going to be a place where persons will go to the -05) exclusion of those which do not have these facil- 3.9v| try.

What we need is some far-sighted vision which will assist us in finding the best solution of the problem, and I maintain that the present anti- parking regulation does not do this. “There is more congestion in the streets when for the defense of home industry. Putting the case in other words, there may not have béen any one man entitled to the first rank. Who- ever made his own arrows, or his own pottery, or his own boat, who- ever bullt a wall, a fence or a dwell- ing wished to guard himself from intruders. Protection by law may be artificial, but self protection is the first law of nature. Spin we do know that before cero spoke in; the forum, before Plato walked the streets of Athehs, before Solomon prayed In the tem- ple, the Philistines had a system of Political economy. if they could keep Isreal in a state of industrial dependence they could trample on their subjects as they pleased. Noth- ing in any history, ancient or mod- ern, is plainer than the statement in the First Book of Samuel: “Now there was no smith found throughout all the land of Israel, for the Philistines said: Lest the Hebrews make their swords or spears; but all the Israelites went down to the Philistines to sharpen every man his share, and his coulter, and his axe, and his mattock. Yet they had a file for the mattocks, and for the coulters, and for the forks, and for the axes, and to sharpen the goads. So it came to pass in the day of battle, that there was neither sword nor spear found in the hand of any of the people that were with Saul and Jonathan, backing out agai day against the curb. “In my humble opinion as the number of cars multiplies, and the need for parking increases, one of the methods for dealing with the problem will be to build office buildin; stores, apart- ment houses and the like with the ground floor eserved as a, parking space, all business to be carried out on the second floor and above.

We tlways find that the despot has money, skill, artifice, superstition or some agency that sways the mass he rules. The Philistines had the weapohs, and the Israelites had not. To an American of today, with more industrial plants than can be counted, all this seems very distant. But to a colonial American the case Seems Jess remote. Why, for in- stance, were there so many English speaking colonists in the New World? It was long the pride of an Eng- ish knight to have goodly Span- ish blade. That was as stylish as it was in Alexander Pope's, time, to nave a coach and six or as it is now o have a costly car. But the Tudors, with all their favtts, did much for.

Drake, before the Armada boasted that he had singed the King of Spain's beard—that is he had gone into the roads of Cadiz and burned one. hundred vessels. Had there been no English fleet the Armada would have been what it claimed to be—“Invincible.’”* ‘The Elizabethan age is great because Spain could not treat Englishmen as the Philistines had treated the Israelites. .

If r can be general! manufactured and sold it will give the prohib: tion agents about all the business they can at- tend to and they seem to have enough to-do now: Congress is certain to “wobble” a little over this cider question. Many of the legislative bod es throughout the states have “ducked” the cider matter as long as they could because it was believed so many famers would be affected by it. Congress is likely to feel the same embarrass: ment when it comes to take attion. Another Warwick William M. Butler is beyond question a very able man, as his highly successful management of the recent national campaign has demon- strated. His quick elevation to the senate, follow- ing the election of a president whose campaign he had managed, recalls the case of Mark Hanna of Ohio. A very distinguished Ohio statesman, Edward Everett constrasted the countless blankets of Great Britain with our scant supply?. How often our guns burst. How often our light- weight #.ot and our defective pow- der worked to our detriment- In our first war with a country indus- trially superior to us, the enemy, at different times held Philadelphia, New York, Boston and Charleston. In our second the enemy blockaded New York, menaced our whole At- santic coast, landed near New Or- leans and burned our capital. To this day how proud we are of a victory over a British force. How ttle we think comparatively of sifc- cesses gained in our contests with Tripoli, Algiers, Mexico or Spain. In our Clvil War, though climate was often against the Union forces, though the insurgents were ably led, although they often had the ad- vantage of position, our industrial resources counteracted all these In- fluences. The b tionary days we had to borrow arms from France, to seek cordage and ship stores from Holland, to make the most of all we captured from the British lines. It was not un- usual for an American commander to have more men than guns. An American would stand, practically helpless until be saw a redcoat fall, then rush on him, seize his musket, and join the battle line—that is, if we had a battle line. The “awk- ward squad” stories in our’ Revo- lutionary army, are not surprising. Men who go out campaigning in the hope that maybe some day pos- sible enemies will fall and they may get guns, cannot be disciplined as regularly equipped troops are. A boy soldier named Andrew Jackson served under this system of tactics, and wrote in after years on the need of industries to provide war equip- ment, In both our wars with Great Brit- the ancient record of the Philis- tines was read with feverish interest. i] tary of state in President McKinley’s cabinet ind Mr. Hanna was promptly appointed to Mr. Sherman's senatorial seat. If Mr. Butler can be. come in the senate as powerful a figure as Mr. Hanna did, no one need fear for his election by the voters of Mas: husetts when the time comes. He will be given exceptional opportuni- ties to make his influence felt because of his in- timate relations with the White House. Circum- stances so far play the political game in his fa- vor that he will now be privileged to serve in the senate three moaths before Mr. Gillett can even take his seat. A Bewhiskered Idol The master barbers are after Rudolph Valen- tino, the famous moving picture sheik. Their canse of complaint is that Rudolph, in order to more correctly interpret a character he has taken in a certain’ screen production, has grown a full beard, And since Rudolph sets the pattern for a considerable portion of the male public, in clothes neckties and other sartorial appointments, the master barbers believe he will also set the mode in whiskers, which would be destructive to their business and calling. If the American smart set should turn Bolshevistie respecting whiskers and ita them fashionable the barbers see their fin- ish. Therefore the barbers have exercised their constitutional prerogative—they have met and resolved. They have gone farther. They have ex- ceeded their rights under the constitution. have boycotted all picture show houses exbibit- ¢ Valentino with whiskers, and will withhold their own and induce others to withhold pat- ronage so long as Rudolph continues to wear whiskers, The barbers can only be appeased by Rudolph’s resuming an open countenance, and the picture corporations’ sending the offensive reels to Rus- sia, y who reads the old Hebrew The Silent Powers ° The grandest operations, both in nature and grace, are the most silent and imperceptible.

The ownership of the secunties ‘of these great public service corpora: ns by individuals has reached a stage where we can properly say that such public utilities are realiy “publicly owned.” “That is, they are owned today by millions of stock- holders and bond-holders instead -of by a comparatively few persons as in the past. This is real “public ownership" as ‘asted with “political owner- of these properties by a city, state or nation, . Commenting on “real public owner- ship,” or customer ownership, pa is more commonly understood, B.C. Cobb; vice president, _Hodenpyl, Hardy & company, Inc., New York, says that such ownership means the holding of the securities of a com: pany by its employes and the people using its so-vice. “The customer ownership move- ment” (real public ownership) “was janned or started a few years ago by some of the power und light com panies of California.” ‘Today, one company—the’ South ern California Edison—hbas increased the number of its share holders in a_ few short years from 3,000 to 68,40" and the Pacific Gas and E.ectri¢ company of San. Francisco has in creased its stockholders from a hand ful of persons to 30,000—a remark able record of which anyone migl weil feel proud. “The cxample set by these Call fornia companies,” says Mr. Cobb, “hus been followed by most of the wer and light companies of any size in the country. In 1924, alone, it fs estimated that the stock sold in this way by electric Ught and power companies will amount to up wards of $350,000,000, which means adding a million new stockholders. ‘This ‘s transition and something that is rapidly turning ownership by few over to ownership by many, It kills the thought of socialism and means that the people will direct and manage through individual ownership’ (real public ownership) “and »ot through government yor municipal ownership, wasteful and inefficient.
