On the ground that reclassification legislation will fix by substantive law salary figures the House appropria- tions committee indicates that it will not consider proposed salary increases in the estimates, even those that have run the gantlet safely of the budget director's cut. Apprehension is sug- gested that any increases proposed by the estimates will be ruled out in the House on a point of order. Underpaid employes are by this pro- cedure buffeted from pillar to post. They fall to the ground not between two stools but four stools,—direct regu- lar appropriations, bonuses and two reclassification projects. Everybody concedes that they are underpaid and is verbally sympathetic. Increases of pay are proposed in the regular estimates; bonuses are sug- gested and temporarily provided; two reclassification bills, both recognizing the equity of many pay increases, paralyze each other, and their pend- ency tends to prevent just and de- served and timely increases through the annual appropriation bills. The advocates of better pay, push- ng diverse methods of relief, et in one another's way and the evil and injury of underpay remain uncured. it is hoped that the appropriations committee will not cease to function in respect to pay increases which are by needed to bring compacatively under paid groups of employes up to the ap- cimate level of other groups, simi or to readjust equitably ¢ of individuals in a group. The | appropriations committee rally be disinclined to sweeping systematic 3 until Con the reclass the lines upon which it wishes this wholesale increase to be made. But the annual equitable increases of individuals, or even of special un- derpaid gr , ought not in fairness to be omitted by the appropriations! committee. which has for years dealt thoughtfully with such appropriations | end has the accumulated facts and ex- perience and past records to guide it to deal justly. In respect to some municipal func- tions, like, for example, the Public Library, the urgent erying appropria- tive need is for a better paid and Jarger force in order that the public may be best served by this useful and popularly appreciated institution. The library trustees in their estimates submitted to the Commissioners give concrete shape to this need in figures and pertinent comment. The Com- missioners, having in view municipal needs as a whole and in relation to available revenues, cut down the trus- tees’ estimates of actual needs. This vear the budget director takes another hack at these estimates. And when the twice-mutilated estimates get to the House appropriations committee the most vitally necessary items that remain of the original estimates are arbitrarily harred from consideration. How can the librarian and trustees secure consideration and relief of the actual needs of the library by the Dis- trict’s legislature when presentation of these needs is thus by successive cuts whittled down to nothingness? The library’s case is only a sample. The District Commissioners are simi- larly handicapped in respect to other proposals. They are now explaining end defending estimates from which over $3,000,000 have been cut by the budget director, and other millions are barred at the threshold by the ap- propriations subcommittee. They now have the difficult task of advocating not their own estimates but those sub- stituted by others. Every one will hope that the appro- priations committee will function as usual in respect to these needed pay increases, and if it becomes necessary will protect its salary increase pro- posals from the point of order by se- curing an appropriate rule from the rules committee. The powerful appro- priations committes has not suddenly ‘become impotent. The device which it has used to enable substantive legis- lation, which does not belorn~ to it, to be enacted as a rider on an appropria- tion bill is surely available to protect against points of order needed ftems of appropriative legislation, which, in accordance with precedent and rea- son, have heretofore been recognized as falling within its jurisdiction. ————— The Japanese regard the Mutsu as such a pretty piece of work that it ‘would be a shame to spoil it. ———————————— The treaty has now arrived at the point where it becomes an inspiration to senatorial eloquence. The Benefactor of the Blind. Blind himself, Sir Arthur Pearson, the British publisher, was a benefactor to all who had lost their sight. Hils prosperity as a printer of magazines and newspapers enabled him to endow institutions for the care and training of the blind, and in other ways to help those thus afflicted. His name through- out the British Isies was synonymous with love and helpfulness for the sightless. When he died a few days ago as the result of an accident he was mourned as a friend by many thousands who had either themselves enjoyed his beneficence or appreciated 4ts bestowal on others. He was buried in London yesterday, and more than 1,600 blind men ' attended the funeral, ma « single line, - with eme hand the gboulder uf the man before him. They iure he was feelin! jtics entirely out of his thoughts or « of blind men of wealth who have de- voted themselves to the aid of their brothers in the darkness. There is no more valuable work than this. The war has left many sightless eyes, and never before was there such need of salvage effort to restore these vic- tims of the flames of battle to a par- tial self-helpfulness and ' usefulness. The field of philanthropy is wide in this direction, and American men of great means have an opportunity to do a wonderful constructive work in establishing institutions where the blind can learn and develop them- selves and contribute to the world's happiness by their labors and thoughts. Oratory and the Administration. The Vice President is not being for- gotten in the matter of public ad- dresses. He is receiving his share of invitations to speak, and accepting them. H~ has appeared as orator on a number of occ since taking up his duties. and contributed no little to the stock of information about what is roing on at the Capitol here The desire to hear Mr. Coolidge is probably the greater hecause of his relation to public h =s. That re- lation is more intimats than that dw- joyed by any of his pradecessors in office. He has been mafe an adviser to the President. He attsuds cabinet meetings, and in that wa} heeps well informed as to administ-att3 polici and their meaning. Fortunately for Mr. Cocttdge and for his audiences he speaks weil. His experience in public aYairs enebles him to readily grasp all Questions that arise, and to express UVimself with ease and effect. The administration is W&l ~quip-ed, indeed, in this particular.

Chief Justice Taft ir his addr to the Ohio Society Monday night was in characteristic mesd—jovial, witty and thoroughly ag teable. He com- munieated to the «smpany the pleas- It is easy to believe that Mr. Taft a contented man. After a distin- guished career in politics, which, be- ginning in 2 small parochial office. reached the ®ighest office in the coun- try, he retnened to his first love, the law, and now presides over the high- est court under the government. He is in the full vigor of his powers, and 1 has years of usefulness before him. .Very different was the case of the Ohioan who presided over the Supreme Court fifty-odd years ago. Salmon P. Chase was a born politician. Politics. not the law, had been his lure. He had achieved great success, first as Gov: ernor of Ohio and then as Secretary of the Treasury. But as his aim had been the presidency, and he had missed that, the black silk gown cov- ered a restless and unsatisfied heart. Nor did the chief justiceship, which | he had accepted reluctantly, put poli- the thoughts of his friends. !iis name appeared in presidential gossip to the end, and opinion was general t he would leave the bench for a presiden- tial nomination. On the bench. as he had done else- where, Judge Chase acquitted himself admirably. Although the law had not been his passion, he had mastered it, and he administered it on the highest plane of judicial service. —————————— The Chinese claim to have made most of the great discoveries ages ago.

Future of the Potomac. There are signs of revival in river traffic. The government set out to demonstrate that river transportation on long hauls of bulky freight was cheaper than land carriage. The ex- periment was made on the Mississippi river with twin-screw towboats, giant steel barges and docks equipped with modern plants for loading, discharg- ing and transferring freight. It is| said in certain trade journals that the experiment has been & success and that private capital is to take over the government barge line and extend | it. Tows of steel products from the | Pittsburgh district are going down the Ohio this season billed for upper and lower Mississippi points. Illinois is spending millions of dollars to im-| prove the navigability of the Chicago and IHlinols rivers and the connection with the Mississippi. St. Louis and New Orleans are building modern docks fitted with the latest freight- handling machinery. There are other It is a natural highway of the oldest English settled region of the United States.. It is a section relatively un- productive, but potentially as pro- ductive and rich as any other part of the United States. Climate, soil, “water protection” and geographical position should make it the vegetable, small fruit and poultry center of a wide part of the eastern states. It will probably become that in the fu- ture and many Potomac valley ham- lets will grow to be big towns. The country is now served by motor lines and an occasional steamboat, but probably the time will come when fast food-freight ships will connect the Potomac country and other parts of the Chesapeake basin with Phila- delphia, New York, Boston and the hundreds of other cities in that east- ern territory. Proper Indoor Temperature. Human beings, like pieces of furni- ture, may be dried out by superheated and too dry air. And in the train of the drying process come colds and other diseases of the nose and respi tory tract in general. While dry, perheated, indoor air is not entirely ponsible for these sondltions, there n be but little question that # 4s o large contributory factor. Many government buildings, busi- ness houses and some of the public schools have improper indoor tempera- tures. It is generally held that a steady temperature of about 70 de- grees is desirable, but many believe that 68 is enough, and some that 65 degrees would be much better. Which- ever of these figures is accepted, many local indoor temperatures far exceed the mark. ticularly is the superheated room noticeable in the government depart ments. Uncle Sam has plenty of coa! aind he has many elderly employes. Tt is realized that as people get olde: they tend to want room heat higher Rut. although the warmth may be en- res e joyable, it dries out the nasal pas sages, neverth Searcely any office is free from the s a horror of fr to such a one, i thins more to be feared than the devil himself.

Trenches were hewn from solid rock and were often isolated. Men out on operations crawled from bowlder to bowlder in constant dan- ger of sharpshooters. Every missile from a big gun that struck added to its destructive powers hundreds and thousands of rock fragments which literally stoned men to death. Fighting for three years In this barren and dangerous waste was Marquis Giovanni Visconti Venosta, secretary general of the Italian dele- gation to the armament conference. He was not a trained soldier to begin with, but had devoted himself "to diplomacy and later re-entered that real. His early training, his ex- ~cutive military experience gained as an officer in many branches of serv- ice, and his first-hand personal kuowledge of the horrors of war- fare all combfne to make his selec- tion as the secretary general an un- usual one. Marquis Venosta is the son of a| nobleman of the same name who was one of Italy’s foremost diplomats and men of a generation ago; who s for two decades minister of for- n affairs and who was largely 1strumentdl in the aumicable ending of the Algeciras conferenne on the Morocean Question, at which he wes the oldest delegate in point of yearf The family name is ar ancient, noble and honored one. The present secretary of delega- tion is also a grand-nephew of Ca- vour, another Italian statesman of the very first rank—one who is com- parable with Bismarck and Talley- rand.

In_the first class is the Columbia (S. C.) Record (demo- atic), which feels that the consti- tutional guarantee of the “‘most lib- erty consistent with public welfare” has been abridged, in “laws ordering us about our premises * ¢ ¢ and how we shall mind the baby.” That the baby is not completely protected from its_parents, however, is shown by the Elmira Star-Gazette (inde- pendent), which calls attention to the “specific clauses protecting par- s in_their right to liberty of a tion.” “A more insidious way of en- croaching upon the rights of the states could not easily be concelved,” thinks the San Antonio Light (inde- pendent), thought the Norfolk Vir- ginian-Pilot (independent democratic) finds nothing inconsistent in “a fed- eral bureau concerned with minimiz- ing the hazards of childbirth,” when “already the government takes an affective interest in the diseases of animals and the afflictions of cotton,” and the Buffalo News (republican) sees a “precedent for such activity in the federal aid to education and to road building.” The Portland Ore- zonian (independent republican) thinks “there will be little disposi- tion to quibble over academic and legalistic issues if in the end the people are aroused to a great need and educated in the means of pre- venting a profoundly regrettable and conceded waste,” and the Pittsburgh Press (independent) feels that “as a precedent for future progress in wel- fare legislation” the act is of ‘*‘more than ordinary importance” _the theory being, as voiced by the Min- neapolis Tribune (republican), “that in due course the whole responsibil- ity can be localized, permitting the government to withdraw its helpful aid.” The Topeka State Journal (independ- ent republican) without discussing the merits of the work to be undertaken, thinks there “is a possibility that the law was designed more to provide jobs for the faithful than to confer benefits on the public,” and believes its enactment ‘“probably can be traced to the entry of women into federal politics” since the ‘“desire to win the woman vote and the ever- present necessity for more political jobs probably induced many Congress- men to vote for it.” Since the objects of the measure are to be realized, however, through existing agenc: the Norfolk Virginian-Pilot's (inde- pendent democratic) concern over ad- ministration problems takes the line that if the federal “gift is burdened with con ons unduly interfering with the methods and practices ap- proved by local conditions, it will in many cases go begging.” “It may be,” concludes the Hartford Times (demo- cratic), after reviewing some of the difficulties, “that what the proponents of this law are trying to accomplish can't be done, but certainly it is worth trying. Adverting to the New York Medical Record’s assertion of the “practically unanimous opposition of the medical profession” to the bill, the Raleigh News and Observer (democratic) wonders if it “did not exaggerate a little. There was some objection to it, but if practically the entire med- ical profession was opposed, it was certainly very quiet in its opposition,” while the Allentown (Pa.) Call (in- dependent) believes that the country has at last seen the wisdom and necessity of providing assistance and care. “This is the very best law passed by the special session of Con- gress,” in the opinion of the Wichita Eagle (independent), and the San Francisco Call (independent) states that “it is not revolutionary, not rad- ical, not paternalistic, not anything but a sane, long delayed effort to do as much for the women of America as even a half-educated farmer would do for his horses and cows.” A Patriotism of Doubtful Quality.

The Debts Owed to America. Every person of practical sense will easily understand that the interna- tional conference at Washington is not purely of a humanitarian char- acter, but that at this conference every nation is looking out for her own’ interests and trying by some means to obtain what she most de- sires. Contrary to the reports in the news- papers, the question of the foreign debts represents ofe of the principal, if not the most important, questions discussed at the conference, and we are almost certain that the question of the allied debts has taken the following aspect: The United States are creditors for $10,000,000,000, on which heavy interests are due; the acceptance of the American plan to limit armaments by the foreign na- tions would permit the United States to save about $200,000,000 a year; this amount is exactly half of the amount the European nations must the United States as interest on’ their debts. If through this ar- rangement the United States could economize in_her yearly expenses the equivalent of the interest due from the allies, then without doubt the United States might afford to be a lenient and generous creditor to Europe.—L'Opinfone (Italian, repub- lican), Philadelphia. pay Farm Life a Foundation to Good Character. A good foundation for the character of a youth lies in the opportunity which he has in observing the ways of nature and profiting thereby. He learns that nature cannot be fooled even by the cleverest bluffer. Every one can deceive, but they only decelve themselves whenever they attempt to deceive society or humanity in gen- eral, which fact every one, sooner or later, learns, though some become convinced when it is too late. ‘When this knowledge that nature repays only honest effort comes to the farmer boy in his youth he will later be ready to enter on the road of life armed with his own qualities of good character, in which is the knowledge that as he sows 8o he shall reap, and that only through thorough, honest and diligent work can he attain final success in life—Hospodar (Czecho- slovak), Omaha. _ Olive Oil as a Fight Deterrent. Adventurous Americans who joined the Spanish foreign legion for service agalinst the Moroccans are sorry they did so. They are doing all they can to get out. They claim that the allur- ing promises held out by the Spanish government failed to materialize. The main cause for complaint was that the rations served were cooked in olive oil: It was a dose to the Amer- ican stomach that seems to have ef- fectually killed the desire to adven- ture, to seek glory and fame among the eand dunes of northern Africa, and, as a reward for heroic deeds, to be loaded with Latin decorations and kissed by olive skinned and dark- eyed senoritas, All of this fascinat- ing vision was dissipated by a wet season of olive oil. Had the advertisement for men to join'an expedition to Morocco stressed the fact that the probability of re- turning alive was one in a hundred, )’ it would have secured for the Dons a band of adventurers and hard fight- ers who enjoyed mnothing so much as a hopeléss éncounter against great odds, hard-boiled ‘soldiers of fortune who othing on earth.
