Efficiency Ratings. Presigéirt, ' Harding, with characteris- tic directness, has issued an executive order that will be welcomed ‘by gov- ernment employes and.nll those ‘who are interested in the!#Feat, governmient business, , the departmental ‘service. He has directed (he, Uhited"States bu- reau of efficiency: to prescribe a sys- tem for Tating the efficiency of em- ploves in the classified. service of the federal gbvernment ‘in the District of Columbia. The head of each executive department and independent estab- lishment is to establish efliciency rat- ings in conformity therewith. In ‘order 1o insure uniform operation of the sys- tem throughout the several branches of the service all action with reference to efficiency ratings is to be taken in co-operation’ with the bureau of ef- ticiency,” which is to promulgate the necessary rules to govern the detailed proceeding involved. But the President has gong further. In order to permit the determination of satisfactory standards for rating purposes, he directs that the ‘employes in each branch of the service shall .be classifled according to the character of the work performed. Efficiency rat- ngs mad¢ in pursuance of the pro- visions of ‘the order are té be the basis of all changes of compensation of em- nloyes in the classified service in the District. By authorizing the bureau of ef- ficiency, headed by Herber{ D. Brown, ! to establish a uniform system of rat- ings, based upon a cl fication ac- cording to the character of the work performed, President Harding has cat | who perform it the most successfully 2 chapter of history day as theofficial judge as to the worthiness of the title of local welfare agencles to popular support. Com- posed of an excellently qualified group of public-spirited men and women, it investigates the local agencied as to their budgets and methods, and upon the basis of those investigations pub- lishes a list of agencies which it can consclentiously. indorse. The Council of Social Agencies results from the functional federation of the agencies thus indorsed, so banding together that, through a mutual study of the general problems for the solution of the | which they exist, those problems may be more efficiently and economically solved. The results which these organiza- tions may together accomplish are great, but entirely dependent upon the degree of popular support accorded to them. It is obvious that if, knowing that a list of indorsed agencles is available, and that those agencies are united to-insure their individual and collective title to indorsement, the public, refuses to confine its local con- tributions to ‘that -list, its publication cap dchieve little in the way of better- ing existihg welfare’ conditions. A long step forward will have been taken ‘when every ‘Washingtonian ap- pealed ‘to for funds by & local socjal service agency will insist -upon proof. that such funds will be wisely utilized. The best proof of that fact is the name of the appealing organization upon the lists of .the indorsement . committee and of the council. ——et—————— The Average Voter. Dr. Katherine Bemet Davis, speak- ing at a tea given in her honor yester- day afternoon in this city by the local alumnae of Vassar College, said: “It is pitiful to talk to the average voter and find how little he or she knows of the government.. Women and men as well should inform them- selves on national affairs, and instruc- tion in such matters should be includ- od in the curriculum of women's col- leges. In fact, everything we get in colleges should have a bearing on our future life. The average voter, man or woman, gets very liftle instruction on the sub- ject of politics except during political campaigns, and then under circum- stances hardly contributory to- the forming of sound judgment. Rallies, ! as they are called, partake of the nn-l ture of hullabaloo. The object is not so much the instruction of those in at- Itendanco as inspiring them for service at the polls. This sort of work comes namr.:llv and best within the compass of an ex- horter, not a teacher. Hence those he must make the second -th!\pr.. He did indeed profit by his first lesson in that he had himself droppegd into the midst of things by an airplane; and so overcdme the handicdp of a start through guarded territory. For a few hours all went well, and enough sol- diers “rallied” to his support to give him hope. Indeed, it would seem as though some of the news dispatches in Hungary did a Httle rallying on their own account, for things seemed to be going all Charles’ way—Horthy “in flight,”” the little entente scared, monarchical enthusiasm - pervading Hungary. As a matter of fact, when the nationalist and royalist armies came together the latter was a pltiably small outfit, and its defeat was a mat- ter of only a few hours. Charles and his consort were taken prisoner, and now the ‘'only serious problem in the matter is to provide a dependable place of isolation for them. It should be certainly less comfortable than Switzerland. Perhaps a sliding scale of unpleasantness can be established to, discourage further attempts on the part of this flighty young man to_up: get affairs in the trouble ‘zone:of Eu-| rope.' : Preparedness and “Sand.” The communists.of Paris had threat- ened a -grgat anti-American ‘demon- stration Sunday.” Informidalle num- bers they were going to ‘get” the American: ambassador and wreck his quarters. Their proclamation was round and load. Let everybody take notice. The French authorities. took notice. They were prepared to handle just|g such an emergency, and massed police and soldlers in the vicinity threatened. ‘The result? The mob failgd to ar- rive. The American ambassador was not disturbed. His quarters were not wrecked. The clty was not thrown into tumult. The only person injured was the leader of the communist party. Thé engineer was hoist With .his own petard. He was set upon by some of his followers, and soundly beaten for failing to “show up" at the hour ap- pointed - for. the business. He had taken counsei of his fears. and de- eided to save his bacon.

Untying the Silesian Knot. Differences of opinion in Europe | over the league of nations’ solution of the Sileslan problem are curlously | reflected in American papers, which are about evenly divided between support and disapproval of the award. ' No international question, says the, Philadelphia North American (pro- | gressive), “was ever subjected tol more various modes of treatment, or | produced so many bafiling failures and complications, and if the league has not found the answer there is small hope that the factor of the problem can be worked out to a sat- isfactory result.” There has always been “an abundance of dynamite un- derlying the controversy” and to the Richmond Times-Dispatch (inde- pendent democratic) jt still remains to be seen whether the dynamite “has been divested of its cxplosive qual- ities by ‘a wise decision.” While the award was accompanied by what one writer calls *the obviously apolo- getic. statement” that it was a new compromise that would “probably please nobody very well,” the Roch- ester Times-Union (independent) de- clares that “a compromise was the only ‘practicable policy,” and the de- cision, the Cleveland Plain Dealer (independent democratic) thinks, “is about what every one outside of Ger- many looked for and hoped for.” While “Germany wanted all there was,” and apparently, the Cleveland paper adds, “expected to get it.” the New York Tribune (republican) is convinced that she “will get all that She is entitled to—and possibly more —under the delimitation made by the league of nations council.” There is no occasion, the Provi- dence Journal (independent) asserts, “for. the contention that without Up- per Silesia intact Germany cannot meet her reparations payments as she {has promised”: that, the paper de- cle arce “is propaganda, pure and ple.

How to insure the efficient and eco- nomic discharge of the civic duties in- cident to- caring for the helpless of Washington becomes each year a com- munity problem of increasing com- plexity. Appeals to the public for the financial assistance necessary to the administration. of the'scores of social agencies have multiplied with the + growth of the city. To supply the sup- port essential to the functioning of the many legitimate agencies is in itself a heavy strain upon the charitable in- stincts of Washingtonians. When to that strain is added the burden of con- tributing to so-called social service agencies which are at least of dubious efficiency and integrity, it is only hu- man nature that those instincts should hecome enervated and chill. By some citizens of the National Capital & point has been reached where, reacting nor- mally to the consciousness that all de- mands upon them cannot be met, they ! are cold to all demands. Happily the means of meeting this condition of affairs and of turning it to good account in the quest for social service progress in Washington are ready to hand. Assuming & virile de- sire on the part of the community to foster efficlency and economy in the management of the agencles which, as thelr agents, care for those of their neighbors who are unable to care for themselves, the problem is capable of swift and effective solution. There exist in Washington today two organimtions which, if steadfastly aupported by the general public, could within the period of a year bring social service to & degree of efficlency to which #t has never attained in Wash- ingten, end rid the community of the just conviction that, of the many thousands of dollars here contributed for charitable purposes, to0 many are wasted or mistpplied. and miners alike can contribute to thel establishment of a proper and profita- ble order of things. Why not? West Virginia is not a new state, with inhabitants freshly gathered from here, there and every- where, and just getting acquainted with one another. She is an old state, in that she is a part of one of the orig- jnal thirteen, and her people should know how to conduct themselves and develop the rich resources above and below ground they possess. The coun- try needs her products, and she should supply them regularly and in abun- dance. ————————— The general public is unable to order any kind of a strike to impress its grievances.
