Congress cannot now take advantage of its laches of the past to justify a complete ex- tinguishment of this credit of between £4.000,000 and $5,000,000 belonging to the District. Usually a creditor wipes off a debt. He may do this for one of two reasons; that the debt is hopelessly bad and cannot possibly be collected, or that I he is sorry for the debtor. But when fa debtor wipes off a debt or when a trustee canc a credit belonging to his ward or client he is-transgressing one of the fundamental rulef of busi. ness. one of the basic principles of morality. There is an ugly name for such a transaction. act. The Senate and Publicity. Are the davs of the executive ses. sions of the Senate numbered? The question grows out of two reeent episodes—the discussion of the Colom- bian treaty in open session, and the wion in open session of the Har-| v appointment after it had been confirmed in closed session. The treaty led to some very tart re- marks about Colombia and about some of the men who were supporting the pact. It was just such a subject as has often been cited in justification of locking the Senate’s doors. And vet no senator was restrained by the pub- lic hearing from expressing himself precizely as he felt, or from recording his vote according to his convictions. And no harm has been done. What was said behind the closed doors about the Harvey appointment when taken up on the motion to con- firm could not have been franker than was i later in open session what er notice d been given of a pur- to openly discuss the sum«n.] ments and supporters alike freed minds.

In 1920 more than thirty-two thousand were made, to patients represent- ing all creeds, every color and eight- een different nationalities. And even 80, there were many calls to which the society, organized to the utmost effici- ency and working at top speed, could not respond. The number of such ap- peals has increased in 1921. It is to remedy that condition that the society has turned to the Wash- ington public, asking for funds with which to carry on. It will not ask in vain. For the value of its work to the community: the knowledge on the part of each Washingtonian that with the $50.000 sought the glad work of caring for the sick—helpless old folks, | men and women facing their hour of | darkness alone. little children—will be done, insure a whole-hearted and gen- erous response. May that response, bespeaking as it does the confidence of the community in the I. V. N.

A sensible course has been adopted the Senate in the matter of the over committee jurisdic- tion in respect to the reclassification By a compromise which in was opposed, the measure has been re- ferred to two committees—that on civil service first, with the committee on appropriations as the final examining bod: This decision breaks a block- that threatened to tie the reclas- sification project up indefinitely for lack of agreement on the preliminaries of consideration. It must be assumed that the purpose of the Senate is to pass a reclassifica- tion bill and that the dispute over Jjurisdiction arose from this afirmative attitude. In the circumstances of the settlement enactment may be some- what delayed, but not indefinitely post- poned. The bill in truth belongs to both committees. It.is a legislative question and appropriative also. Soon- er or later the appropriations com- mittee must have jurisdiction over the result of any reordering of the gov- ernment service.

These two elements, efficiency and economy, are both desired. They are !Mlh attainable. The reclassification in general means both. It means a more compact, businesslike, workable organization, and that is always less expensive than loose administration. The present system is loose, irregular, unscientific and in its effect inequi- tial if the ships are to be kept in|table to personnel.
