'87.00 Sunday only Ay The Handbook Scandal. Judging from descriptions of the handbook establishments that have heen printed in The Star, the race track bet game is being played as openly and freely and on as large a scale as ever, perhaps more so. The law, it seems, has no terrors whatever for those who manipulate the bets. There is little pretense at conceal- ment. Thousands of dollars change hands daily. The bookmakers in the long run always win. The “runners,” ‘working on a commission, cannot lose. The more bets they collect the more they make. Thelr only riskis that of detection, and the penalty for that is slight, a few minutes in the station pending \the deposit of collateral and perhaps an occasional appearance in court while the case is being post- poned. A professional bondsman in- #ures continued freedom of action. The fact is that Washington is being milked by a gambling scheme Just as it was in the old days when the lottery throve. The worst of it is that the money is being lost by people who are not in a position to lose. They are people, as a rule, of small means. Many of them are “playing the ponies” in the hope of eecuring additional in- come. Some of them have got the habit through &n unfortunate winning. According to reports the govern- ment departments are every day can- vassed for bets by agents of the book makers. Surely this must be known to chiefs of divisions and bureaus. Perhaps there are rules that prevent the actual making of bets during office. hours. Surely they should be enforced. And government employes should be warned against taking part in this per- nicious game, which is so demoraliz- ing, so likely to lead to peculation. Court congestion is blamed for the lack of effective prosecution. -That surely cannot be the major reason for the fact, that practically none of the handbook makers or runners arrested serves a jail sentence. Releasing on probation is simply a perpetuation of the game. The profits are so big that the bet taker can afford to take the: slender chance of being severely pun- ished. This is an intolerable scandal, that such a game should thrive in Wash- ington, at the seat of government, the center of lawmaking. The police have done good work in making arrests, and “ it would appear that it is up to the courts to admihister the law in & way to make it effective and clean up this shameful concmim‘. 20— e Midwinter Unemployment. President Harding has moved in the gmatter of relieving unemployment in & practical way by proposing to six of the government departments that work that has been provided for be undertaken now rather than later. This, as the President states, is-the worst time of year fér labor. Many private enterprises have suspended on account of the season. There is, furthermore, & particular slackness as industry waits on the settlement of tariff questio; 1t is the President’s ‘hope—and doubtless that hope is justi- fied through knowledge of the condi tions—that large government under- takings can be pushed ahead of sched- ule. Millions spent now—in the next six weeks—in labor will-De.a great boon to the country. ! It does not follow from the Presi- dent’s suggestion that the extraordi- nary efforts made a few months ago to reduce unempioyment in the coun- - try have failed. On the contrary, they have succeeded in abundant measure. Cities and states have organized and promoted public and private work call- ing for the services of several million en. Adjustments-have been effected to put more men at work on current projects. The percentage of unemploy- ment has steadily diminished. The present emergency is due to the stress of weather, and the President seeks a contribution by the federal govern- ment that will lessen to a mimimum the distress due to idlengss during these next few weeks. Surely his pro- posal will bring results. Yy ———————————— The world would gladly contribute enormously to an increase of the Nobel peace prize if some one’ could ‘guar- antee to deliver the actual goods. —_——————— B « Farmers in- Politics. In somp quarters thes¢ is growing belief, and very evident apprehension, that the farmers of the country are crganizig for political purposes, and that a third party, an’agrarian party, is likely to be the outcome of present efforts to better conditions in the agri- cultural industry. The existeace in Congress of gn ‘“agricultural bloc,” and the effectivenéss with which it has functioned, are pointed to as the open- ing wedge, and on the side lines at the agricultural conference here dur- ing the last wpek there has been a good deal of talk about political or- ganization on & national scale, about & national leadership and & nationgl platform of agrarian demands. ‘There is nothing in the Constitution of the United States which would pre- vend the farmers from organizing themselves - into a - political party, ‘adopting a national platform and nom- inating their. own candidates for President and Vice President end members of the Senate and Hause of . Representatives. But there'is that in the spirit and genius of American in- stitutions and the American idea of sovernment which would render such tional clerical pepty or . natlonal party orgaaised t¢ promote. the inter- ests op croas-eyed men. The American people as a %hole are bigger then any section. of them, and they néver will ktonsent to turn their government over to be administersd in the interests of any class or subdivision. ¥ But the best insurasice that the gov- ernment will not be taken over by an tural “leaders” may have Rmbitions along that line, but the real farmers, the fellows who-actually till the soil, are as hardsheaded and as thoroughly American ‘& lot of citizens as the re- 500 | Public - has produced. Just now they are in difficyfties aud are ready to ‘support a “bloc” in Congress or any- where else that will help them find a way out, but when conditions return to normal they are going to do thelr own thitking, and it wijj be no mor possible to herd them at the polls an vote them “en bloc” than it has been in the past. If the American idea of & government of all the people, for all the people, dy all the people is to en- dure until it is endangered by the farmers of the land it will be many a long day before the spirit of Lincoln's Gettysburg address is relegated to the realm of forgotten thin ' Real Winter. A snowfall like that which has just hit Washington is not especially wel- come here. Thig city is not accus- tomed to heavy. deposits, and is not equipped to handle them. In the past 1t has had severe visitations and has suffered from them. A little more than twenty years ago it was struck by a veritable blizzdrd which, with high ‘winds, heavy snow and extremely low temperature, gave the capital its worst_experience within the. mémory of those living. The present storm is mild in comparison, severe though it is, and crippling to the public services. One of the worst features of a local snowfall is thé fact that there is no law to compel the cleaning of side- walks. Once there such a law, but it was negatived by the courts, which ruled that inssmwuch es. the United States owns the sidewalks it cannot compel the owners and occu- pants of adjacent property to clean them. Since then the city has depend- ed for walk cleaning upon the indi- vidual enterpribe of the people, save in the few and-short spaces abutting public reservations. In a sitédtion of, this kind it is the dity of all, whatever the state of the law, to clean the walks. Each man's interest calls for know-shoveling for his own comfort and convenience, and his neighbor’s sidewalk cleaning helps him. There is a mutuality about the ‘'procedure that ought fo be more ef- fective than any statute. Considering the depth of the snow- fall and the steadiness with which it carfie the street car traffic has been capably moved. Both of the companies have done their utmost to clear the tracks and to move the cars, and when all things are taken into account credit is due to thosé in' charge for the manner in which_ the difficult condi- tions have been. met and in large part overcome. Cheerfulness must be the watch- word of the hour, in a situation like this. Everybody must maRe the best of things. There is‘danger in the snow, danger’ to,the heaith on the score of possible iliness -contracted through exposure, and danger to life in the thick of traffic, which cannot be as well managed when the streets are blocked with snow as at other times. Everybody, therefore, must be especlally particular. H Just as soon as the ‘conditions per- mit the municipal - authorities .will}. doubtless get busy with their street- cleaning forces. The appropridtion for this purpose for the fiscal year is practicaily intact, and even i\t should be exhausted by the work entailed by the’ present storm it should be used to the utmost. The Streets must. be made free for traffic. ———————— The suggestion that the Russian ballet be taken to Genoce is not devoid of appeal. A‘ballet is necessarily a highly disciplined organization, and some assurahce is needed that dis- cipline has not become entirely impos- sible under Russian influence. T Any kind of notoriety is more or less appreciated at the present time, and it is possible that Bergdoll enjoys the prospect of going down in history as the world's most, distinguished slacker. ———————————, The financial reports make it appear quite possible that the ex-kaiser's per- sonal income from various sources ex- ceeds the salary of the German presi- dent.

The Stumper and Stumping. | Is the stumper destined for the dis- card? The question grows out of the mul- tiplication of the medns and methods of public appeal and instruction. ‘What is called “‘wall paper” has many attractive features these days. Dead walls blossom as the rose, and are used to convey many messages and much instruction. H The daily press is carrying more political matter than ever before, and clothing it in highly readable fornis. And newspaper circulation has mount- ed to enormous figures. * The movies have developed as an ad- vertising medfum. Thelr patrons are almost without number; and what of quip or serious message or picture is thrown on the gcreen reaches large audiences. Nevertheless and notwithstanding. the stumper is still in the ring; when a torce still a force to be Feckoned with: still an object of interest wherever his narfe and fame have penetrated. Pec-| ple flock to see and hear him, and by their attentions and applause inspire him go his best. In the thick of it all, there are still cakes and-ale for him. The stumper is tuning up, and there aré a good many of him. The year seems likely to be a fat one for him. Not only is there much to talk about, but unrest is so general people gather to hear all who are offering remedies for public ills. Remember the Birds! In weather like this remember the birds. The snow,covers their food sup- plies and they are in danger of starv- ing if good friends do not scatter crumbs and seeds for them. The little English sparrows are particularly to be pitied in this condition. Some peo- ple do not like them. They are noisy, quarrelsome, fussy and not particular- ly clean. But they are here, and un- less they are exterminated they should be treated with some consideration. { p They really do render a service in helping to clean the streets. One can- not help admiring their enterprise and fearlessness in scouting for food. When the snow covers the ground they are in a, bdd way.” A few dry crusts thrown out to them will tide them, over this difficult time. They will find such supplies. They have uncanny ways of locating them. A sort of wireless system spreads the news. If one wants to have a pro- nounced feeling of rendering service, put a handful of food outside of the window on some sheltered surface and watch the birds gather. It will be worth many times the trouble of such a simple act of charity. P A — There is a disposition to confuse farming with forestry, although the two are distinct. The farmer demands open flelds, the forester demands wood- land. The fact that conifers and turnips both grow from the soil is the chief point of association. Forestry has been made a jnatter:of more or less picturesque publicity, but farming is cold, hard business. It appears from recent legislation that Mr. Volstead earnestly and hon- estly disapproves of lynching—even for bootleggers.

He glves them the “once over,” use! his ripe judgment of men, and takes into téll coui\flention what the ap- plicant has done in the past. The United States government, how- ever, is going to use the same methoas as soon as it can get around to It-|men; President John H. Bartlett bt the Civil Service Commission’ and ‘his as- sociates on the board ha decided upon it. e President Harding 1s behind the movement to give character examina- tions to applicants for positions under the government, believing that it is in entire harmony with hig avowed de- termination to “put more business into government.”. G Gen. Dawes, director of the budget, upon recommendation of the Pre: dent, has transmitted to Congres: request for an sppropriation of $40, 000 to allow the Civil Bervice Commis- sion to apply such tests to civil serv- ice. workers as any’ Intelligent busi- nees man uges in hiring employes. * ok x % Rather than examinations as to character or morafs, Preajdent Bart- lett prefers to \use them ‘“plus qualf- ties” In speaking of the objects of the intended extension of the scope of civil: service examinations. He feels that there are cerfain qualities in men, such as industry or its opposite, faithfulness or its opposite, that can- not be put down in so many words, perhaps, but are tremendous factors in manhood. These he calls the “plus qualities.” It will be to determine such attributes of manhood and womanhood that the $40,000 appropriation, which is in ad- dition to the regular appropriation. will be used by the commission, if the extra appropriation is granted. A new application of the “fifty- ffty” plan. will be put into effect in conducting clvil service examinations under the new theory, for it is ex- pected that applicants for positions will be given & scholarship test rep- resenting 50 per cent, and a charac- ter examimatio: to determine the “plus qualitiey,” representing 50 per cent. While there y be some va- riations in respective values of these two sides, the ratio will be roughly that. * * k¥ Mr. Bartlett got his “big idea"— and it is & big idea, as any one ac- quainted with government gservice will realise—when he was postmas- ter of Portsmouth, N. H., during the McKinley and. Roosevelt administra- tions. Later he was governor of his state, but he got this big idea while master. “It struck me at that time that the sole test for rural letter carriers, being a scholarship examination, was ridiculous,” President Bartlett said. “Here was a white-faced boy who passed first, and a tugged man who passed last.’ The boy was given the job, when any .business man in the world would have seen at a glance that the rugged fellow was the ideal carrier. “And I believe much the same thing may be applied to almost every position under the government serv- ice. It should be universal in scope. The government needs t6 take more into consideration the ‘plus qualities’ of men and women, moral and char- acter attributes which go to make up the intangible thing known as per- sonality.” + - % R . ‘When Mr. Bartlett became head of the Civil Service Commission last July compldints were coming in to the commission against certain rural and other carriers of the postal service. The great war had made necessary the letting down of the bars, to some extent, and undesir- able characters had found their way in. li‘nbmme evident to officials here that mail, thefts, to some ex- tent, at least, were being ‘“pulled” by men in the service, or through the collusion of men who worked the inside, 5 L Giving. the whole olvil “dird’s-eye " (rom_ _his " oen! position hers, President Bartlatt be- came convinged that something t to be done to enable Uncle Sam, t great ~to hire " his n the same efficlent manner ivate employer uses.

GO through the government departments, and a keen cbserver will be able. to tell, President Bartlett believes, that the government personnel has been chosen largely on scholarship tests. It may be difcult to put these “plus u{lltled' into ratings, but t e done. That is the judgment of Mr. Bart- lett, and of his colleagues, of Presi- cent Harding and Gen. Dawee.

ST would as soon De ‘gallclud .;ox using_my discretion in manner,’ says Mr. Bartlett, “as being criticised for being a fool.” * ¥ ¥ % The only just criticism of the civil service now is that it is not practical enough. The new sort of examina- tions will silence that criticlsm, it is contended, by making the service an intensely practical thing, oné to meet the approval of shrewd business men everywhere. The scheme*will make more true competition for positions under the government, for it will take the race away from the mere gcholar, stuffed with *book learning,” "and give th man who is rich in character and ex- perience an equal chance. In the rugged battle of life the race is not always to the man who can conjugate “amo,”. nor yet to the weakling who cannot “stand the gaff” of eight hours’ work a day. The prize goe to the man who has that intangible something known as “personality.” And personality is made up of ability, strengthg and appearance. It will be a good thing for the boys and girls of the country, Mr. tlett belleves, to know that the govern- ment is taking into account , such qualities, to realize that to meet its broad tests they must be real men and women, . * x x ¥ At the present time character vouchers are needed on all civil serv- ice examinations, but the trouble is that anybody can get such vouchers and the Civil Service Commission has not the facilities to look up the people who do the vouching. As ex- amination8 are conducted now, the postal service is about the only branch of the government that re- quires any sort of examination of applicants as to the “plus qualities.” In examinations for third-class post- masters scholarship counts for 50 per cent and business fitness for 50 per cent. In examinations for first and second ‘postmasters 20 per cent is educational and the remainder business ability. Fourth- class postmasters are examined ‘sole- ly as to scholarship, such as it is. The Civil Service Commission pos- sesses an excellent organization upon which to base the new sort of exam- inations. It is not generally realized that the commission has at its sérv- ice about 10,000 government workers thrcughout the country, constituting its 3,300 local boards, each with three members. These workers, postal and otherwise, are authorized to do the ernment time. This machinery is available to get facts. ‘Then the commission has thirteen district organizations, exclusive of its central headquarters here. - All that is needed is the $40,000 appropria- tion apd the official word to go ahead. work of the commission upon ‘ov-l EDITORIAL DIGEST Auditing Europe’s Books. French “nerves” have apparently been irritated again by the Senate resolution, intFoduced by Senator Mc- Cormick calling upon the State De- partment “to supply such information as it has in regard to the financial af- fairs of European governments, par- ticularly in Yegard to their military expenditures.” The resolution seems to the New York Times (independent democratic) “designed to give offense to ce” and “it’is not surprising that it is resented.” The “danger” in the Senate's action, as the Chatta- nooga News (democratic) sees it, is that” “French politicians may take American politicians too seriously,” for, as the Times notes further, for- eigners are not in a position to place the same estimate upon “our little great men” as do’Americans. ‘What Senator McCormick is driving at, according to the Peorla Transcript (independent), is an effort to show the “relation between chronic deficit: and military establishments” in ku rope, and in presenting his resolution for adoption he produced figures, as the Port Huron (Mich.) Times-Herald (independent) quotes theni, —to show that more than two million men are in arms in France, Italy, Poland, Ru- mania and Coechoslovakis, from a to- tal pulation . only slightly larger than burs. France alone has an army of 800,000, Italy 456,000 and Poland 450,000.” To these statistics “Stephen Lauzanne has made what is on paper an effective reply,” says the New York Globe (independent), in which he shdws that the French army, large as it is, costs “only one-half what the American ‘ Army. is costing and less m‘% one-half what the French army cost hefore the war,” but after a close analysis - of Lausane's figures the still seems to lie' with Senator McCor- mick.” The Paris Temps also asks, somewhat bitterly, if it is the inten- tion & the United States to use this information “to intimidate o and as the San Antonio’ Light pendent) interprets its attitude, it considers “the brazen effrontery” of a request. to look over their books “an insult to French pride.” But why all this “furious rumpus in the French press,” the Chicago Trib- une (independent republican) won- ders “why the prompt assumption that the resolution is almed .at in- juring _France in some mysterious way? Why sarcastic and embittered recriminations by French publicists and politiclans?” Americans “are try- ing to make every allowance for the French mood,” byt, the Tribune in- sists: = ‘We cannot go to 'the extreme of shutting our eyes to the conditions with which. we must deal or blindly undjrw:ls any.

Attempting to Revive a Onoe Great Party. Only a general election can show how far British public opinion re- sponds to the challenge flung at the coalition government 'by the inde- pendent liberals, for ‘whom , former Premier Asquith and Viscount Grey are the chief spokesmen. These men assailed Lloyd George and. all his works at a meeting held in London. iThe keynote of the occasion was struck by Viscount Gladstone, who accepted a title his great father per- sistently rafused, and who said in his address as presiding officer: “To- night we enter the lists and take, the | fleld against Mr. Lloyd George and his coalition government.” A strong opposition is a necessity under any system of popular govern- ment. The liberal party is the only nucleys for such-an ' opposition in Englsnd. Most un ers are confldent ‘that if an election were held next week the coalition eabinet, which Mr. Asquith assails because of its liking for ‘“‘expedients and experiments” and which Lord Grey regards as intolerable because it has refused political elements_ for- merly_ irreconcilable,” would be re- turned to power by & handsome ma- jority. 2 4 However, the coalition . principle cannot be applied indefinitely.
