Decision by maintenance of way em- ployes not to join the strike of the railroad shop crafts unions is gratify- ing to the public. and a cause for con- gratulation to the men directly con- cerned. It is an indication that sanity still prevails in labor leadership, and that the obligations of duty and re- sponsibility have not been wholly en- gulfed in the clash of conflicting in- terests. The fact that the officials of the trackmen's union, in conference with the Railroad Labor Board, were able to work out a solution of their prob- lem without r a strike accentu- ates the mistake the heads of the shop crafts unions made when they de- cllned to make a final effort to arrive at a peaceful adjustment. Their course immediately “outlawed” their strike, and left them without public sym- pathy, without regard to how the pub- lic might have viewed the merits of their controversy. A point was considerably stretched in favor of the trackmen when it was agreed that tley should not be called upon to do any of the work of the striking shopmen, but this is a con- cession to sentiment which probably was\ necessary, and the compromise having been made the r agers must live up to it in good faith. It probably will not seriously affect the operation of trains, for the indi- cations are that there will be an in- creasing number of men in the shops, end that equipment can be kept in order for many weeks, even if there is no general break in the ranks of the shopmen. There are plenty of machinists and other skilled workers who want and need employment, and all who are willing to serve in the raflroad shops will be fully protected in their right to work. That the government is determined there shall be no coercion of the men who take the places of strikers was emphasized yesterday by President Harding in his address at Marion. “Liberty is gone in America,” he sald, “when any man is denied by anybody the right to work and live by that work. It does not matter who denies. A free American has the right to labor svithout any other’s leave. It would be no less an abridgement to deny men the right to bargain collectively. Governments cannot tolerate any class or grouped domination through force.” Labor and capital alike must heed the warning which the President ut- tered to the effect that laws sanctioned by the majority of the people must | be enforced, and that where the rights of minorities are infringed by the majority they must look to the work- ings of public sentiment for redress. The Women Are Alert. The women are getting busy in poli- tlcs. Such is the news from a number of states. In some of them the regis- tration shows the women in the lead. ‘They may not keep the lead. The men, under the spur, may pull themselves together and make a better showing. But at the start of the campaigns the ‘women are manifesting a lively in- terest in the work in hand and a dis- position to do a full share of it. The results here and there are strik- ing. Two worien have been nominated for the United States Senate, and sev- eral have offered for seats in the House. For state end county offices a large number are running. ‘The enfranchisement of women 1is going to be thoroughly tested. The proposition upon which it rests is that the influence of women in politics will make for higher purposes and better government, and give a purer tone to all political aspirationsand procedures. Better officials will be selected, and officials held to a stricter account- ability. 5 It is @ large order. No one familiar with politics disputes the oft-repeated assertion that a change for the better could well be made, and that the time for & change is now, when so much is ‘being reshaped and readjusted. Hence the mineteenth amendment is in good season, and the purpose to give it a full try-out laudable in every way. Women could not hope to improve politics simply by voting. They must lend a hand otherwise. —_——— The league of nations is det/elvplng enough energy to indicate that it may comse in for more or less prominent mention in the fall campdign. An 01d Painting. ‘The other day e New Yorker, who ‘has served as official of a jockey club and a starter at one of the big race tracks, and who loves horseflesh, was told by a friend that some paintings ‘were to be auctioned at a public sale 4n which were some pictures of horses. He decided to go and possibly bid on one of the paintings. He did so, and his eye was caught by a small, dark canvas on which appeared several equine. figures, drawn in & way to warm his heart with admiration. He bid on it, and finally got it for $450, to artists who, in striving for perfection lto immediate conditions the principles achieved fame as artists. The elder, Adrian, lived to be seventy-five, and was the more celebrated painter. Isaak had not developed to the point indicated by his early promise when he died in 1649 at the age of twenty- eight. But in that time he produced some 400 paintings, a remarkable achievement, and one that should be considered by some of the moddn along original lines, are failing in in- dustry. But life was simpler 300 years ago, and there was less to distract. Not only in point of quantity, but in quality, as judged by the standards of the great collections, the work of Van Ostade was remarkable. Is there an artist of modern times who in twelve or thirteen years has produced 400 paintings, and with so Jarge a per- centage of them pfeserved in galleries and rated In value by the tens of thou- sands of dollars apiece? The Parking Order. | It is not too late to rescind the re- cently announced order which, subse- quent to July 24, would forbid the parking of automobiles along the road- ways of Rock Creek Park after night- fall. In view of patent inequitles of the plan, which cannot but suggest themselves to the authorities con- cerned, that step should be promptly taken. It is the ennounced policy of those having jurisdiction im the premises that the parks of Washington shall provide a maximum of pleasure and recreation for the public. Whatever the prevalence of the abuses which the order is purposed to prevent, it is cer- tain that for every car now parked for improper motives one hundred are parked for the harmless and natural purpose of permitting their occupants to enjoy the peace and beauty of the park at night. Rock Creek Park is perhaps at no time more lovely than of 2 summer night. The moon is as a lantern hung in the willow trees. The stream is a silver pathway beyond the shadows. A breeze whispers through the kind darkness, a little, friendly breeze, laden with the fragrance of the night. ‘What more natural than that those who have played their parts through the hot day, here with the clamor and rush and strain of the city ever ebout them, should later seek this loveli- ness? What more fitting than that, charmed by the peace and coolth about them, they pause to let it seep into their hearts? > There are, it is true, those who pro- fane the loveliness about them in manners unspeakable, and it is in the plausible determination to terminate such abominations that the recent order was promulgated. And yet, be- cause one in a hundred abuses other privileges enjoyed by soclety, it is not ordinarily deemed essential to deny those privileges to the nine and ninety. The way to end the abuse of the privilege of parking in Rock Creek Park at night is to punish those who offend with such severity as to dis- courage others similarly inclined. Obviously, the effect of the recent order will be to drive such offenders to other sections of the District and its environs, while the innocent fre- quenters of the park are forced by law to “keep moving” The order should be rescinded. ‘ France is considering an extensive employment of German labor in the work of reconstruction. This would advance the laborer’s status as a tax- payer and possibly facflitate the col- lection of indemnity. $ It is not necessary to be & very old inhabitant of Washington to remem- ber when there was no difficulty what- ever in finding parking space for & vehicla at this time of year. \ The primary system permits almost as much interest in the contest be- tween party factions as in the test of strength between the great parties themselves. —_————————— According to some senatorial opin- fon, the motion pictures are the only things that have so far escaped cen- sorship. The Observance of the Day. Although the rain interfered to some degree with yesterday’'s local cele- brations,- Independence day was ob- served in the capital in & true spirit of commemoration. Various programs were carried through against the handicaps of bad weather. Some out- door meetings were shifted to indoor places, but on the whole the day was marked according to tradition, The most disappointing effect of the in- clemency was upon the picnic parties and those who went on outings. In the course of the day several notable addresses were made to the as- sembled people. Taking thelr text from the Declaration of Independence, the speakers addressed themselves to ques- tions of present day moment, applying that inspired the founders of the re- public. In this a wide variation is al- ‘ways noticeable. It is possible to in- terpret the Declaration of Independ- ence, in application to present condi- tions and problems, in meny ways. It all depends upon the point of view. Much mischief can be done by such argument and admonition if there is & the revolution, which was started by the signing of the declaration. Those who put their names to that instru- ment knew full well that if the colonies did not stand together as an organized whole they could not main- tain therfiselves in independence, and that this meant mutual sacrifices of beliefs and privileges for the common good. The President and the Law. With other things—all of them well and courageously said—the Presi- dent said at Marion yesterday: The Constitution and the laws spon- sored by the majority mast be en- forced. ' It does not matter who op- poses. If an opposing minority has a just objection, the rising tide of pub- lic opinion will change the law. There 1s no abiding liberty under any other plan. * * & The eighteenth amend- ment denies to a minority a fancied sense of personal liberty, but the amendment is the will of America, and must be sustained by the govern- ment and public opinfon, elSe con- tempt for the law will andermine our very foundation. The eighteenth amgndment—as the President,. as everybody, knows—has ; been flouted from the start, not by the majority, but by e bold and aggressive minority controlled by thelr appetites and unwilling to obey the law. Hence the assertion, often repeated by the flouters, that the law cannot be en- forced. It is upon that proposition the wet campaign for control of the next Con- gress is based. Those conducting it assert that the people will not have prohibition; that the fact has been demonstrated, and that repeal is the logical and necessary remedy. Why insist upon what the people have shown such bitter hostility to? These men have no right to speak | for the people, but only for them- selves, and they are in the minority. The President is right, of course. The law—all laws—should be obeyed. Contempt for a particular statute en- courages & contempt for all statutes, and that leads to chaos. The boot- leggers and their backers should take notice that the occupant of the White House is not in any sort of sym- pathy with them or thelr law-defying policies. 4 A Boom Resuming Business. A press report says: The Henry Ford for President move- ment spread to Chicago today and opened headquarters on_ Michigan avenue. W. F. Kelly, in charge, said 50,000 circulars were sent out in Chi- cago “to feel out the sentiment before the office was opened.” Evidently Mr. Ford has some warm friends and supporters. Money is nec- essary even to circularize the electo- rate, and moré is required to pay lhei expenses of offices. This Chicago venture is, of course, but the beginning. In other citles— and soon, perhaps—headquarters will be opened, and salaried men installed to give visitors the glad hand and the boomer's word of cheer. Booming a | man for President is not work for! amateurs, and competent performers come high. 1 And yet the announcement has been made that Mr. Ford, rich and um-l bitious as he is, will bear none of this expense, nor in any way contribute to outlays in his behalf. He wants to be President. Although with but small experience in politics, he knows the game well enough to appreciate the fact that booming a man for office is not a holiday sport, but a sort of busi- ness enterprise requiring system and hard work. This boom, therefore, should show the unselfishness of Mr. Ford's fol- lowers, and how willing they are to serve him out of their own pockets, and without thought or hope of other reward than his continued friendship and his appreciation of their activi- ties. ————a—————— Managers say that musical produc- tions will be better next season.

It seems fo be the easiest thing in the world for those who Indulge in the practice to “take pen In hand"—or typewriting machine—and dash off, oh, just merely out of hand, of course, highly flavored and ,highly colored articles ranging all the way from ro- mance to dlatribe, at the expense and to the depreciation of a splendid class of public servants. Old chiefs of divisions In the de- partments and veteran emploves know how far away from the facts these romancers on the one band and downright detractors on the other range in their flights of fancy or spleen, as the case may be. The offi- cials are moved by amusement or by indignation and lay the articles down with a smile or a frown. There is a striking similarity of tenor in most of the chapters as the writers run the gamut of the old familiar. notes. * X ok % The reader away from Washington whose attentlon should be caught by the most of these outpourings would be drawn to belleve that the govern- ment workers here are lazy, incompe- tent, conscienceless toward their em- ployer, who is Uncle Sam, in the ver- nacular; and that for the most part they spend their time watching the clock’s hands move toward the hour for dis- missal for the day. The fact is that a large proportion of the clerks in the departments here are engaged on current work which is of such live and imperative character as to render it impossible to shirk or hold bac! It is a case of “must” to get it out, and the employes simply have to keep busy. ¥ Naturally there {s some work of less exigent nature over which em- ployes can take their time. There may be here and there periods when the work does not feed along smooth- 1y, giving lapses in the driving pace, but the proportion of such instances may be sald to be very small, indeed. * k% % Always, in some of the larger de- partments, there are whole divisions which work overtime. For months some divistons in the War Depart- ment have been working an addi- tional hour daily. Nothing is ever said about this to the credit of the clerks, who have, with rare excep- tions, gone about the extra labor with few complaints, however ardu- ous and taxing it has been. If a congressman wandering through a department sees a clerk apparently idle at the moment the incident is taken as a criterion for the whole bffice and there is sure to be an ccho of it In debate the mext! T may be laid down as a lutement’ Racial ‘Discrimination Has No Place in the Naval Service. Although the attack on Ensign Kaplan in the year book of the Naval Academy was disposed of when En- sign Olmstead, its editor, publicly was reprimanded by Assistant Secre- tary of the Navy Roosevelt, the news- papers of the country continue to dlscuss the reasons for the action. It is accepted as necessary that raclal or religious prejudices be eliminated, especially from the naval and mili- tary services, but some of the papers excuse Olmstead’s act on the ground that it was the impulsive nature of youth which impelled it. The ma- jority, however, condemn it most severely and some at least declare that the offenders should be elimi- nated entirely from the Navy. It is not especlally the case of Kaplan, now closed, that Interests the Chicago Post, but it points out that “it is high time that those in this country who are gulity of similar demonstrations shonld be made to realize that they are living in the United States of America and not in Russia. There is altogether too much readiness on the part of a few to vent their petty Treligious and racial prejudices.” And there i8 won- der on_the part of the Lansing Jour- nal whether it is not a fact that “there must be something wrong in a national institution which permits the inculcation of such ideas. The people are spending large sums on the education of their future naval officers and this is being wasted if they are not being trained to under- stand American freedom and equal- ity.” Amplifying this argument, the Dayton News insists that “here in America no man must be discriminated against because of race, creed or pre- vious circumstances. 1f our democ- racy is so impotent or rather 8o filmsy a thing as some would have us beliete it is time for serious con- sideration of our future as a’race.” Which leads the Springfield News to say that “Assistant Secretary of the Nevy Theodore Roosevelt, jr.. quite properly reprimanded in behalf of the department with which he is asso- | clated the editor-in-chief of the year book fora perfectly uncalled-for insult to a member of the graduating class —a Jew." The attitude of Kaplan. personally, the Binghamton Sun is convinced, i well worthy of pralse in that “he has kept his head, refusing to pose 2s a martyr. Kaplan was in a posi- tion to make trouble. He chose the wiser course, and by comparison his assailants are made to look very tiny, indeed.” Because there is no “country in the world where there is less prejudice against the Jewish race Than in the United States,” the Akron Beacon-Journal _points out that to “overlook an offense of this nature would be.to condone the very prac- tice that is in direct opposition to the ideals, for which, the Naval Academy is supposed to stand.” But the punishment is too light, the Omaha World-Herald belleves, as the “offense constitutes an affront not only to the person at whom it was aimed, but to a very large section of EDITORIAL DIGEST time appropriations are up. It would be a pertinent question to ask if the critics in Congress have ever caused to be compiled the number of hours of extra time put In by all the de- partments in the course of a year. * ok X Xk The stock question asked, alwa with a certain pertness and acerbity, about the clerks is, “Well, If things are hard, why don’t they get out of the service?” There are two classes of people in the departmental service here . who cannot very well get out, and these together comprise probably the bulk of the personnel. There {s first the ‘class of those who cannot get out because they are not captains of their own fate—they have others to consider. By the thousands they are | found, young and old, living lives of noble self-sacrifice. The most pa- thetlo cases are of those who have been caught in the machinery of ad- vancing years, with added responsi- bilitles without compensating in- creases In salary, and who must keep on and on, going around the tread mill, for if they fall they are crush- ed. There are those who are taking care of dependent relatives—sending sons and daughters to school, or put- ting sister or brother through col- lege. or helping the qld folks “back home.” The postal employes will give stag- gering figures of the postal notes and money orders purchased every 1st and 15th of the months, that go fluttering back to village, hamlet or city from Maine to California, bringing cheer and_even supplying actual existence to dependents. These people cannot stop; they must go on and on until the responsibilities cease. * % * % Then there is another large class of ounger men and women who are ‘'working their way” through law school, medical school or business col- lege, studying and reciting at night and keeping at their desks in the de- partments by day for their subsist- ence, hundreds of them aiding their relatives as well. Washington is becoming e great educational center in this respect and every year turns out hundreds of graduates from its universities and schools, the larger portion of them to get back into civil life in all the com- munities from coast to coast. Others must stay and meet their obligations at home as long as they last. * * IR * It would be interesting to have a compilation of the statistics in this regard to show just to what extent these thousands of clerical employes are “tied up” with family obligations and how many of them are foot loose and clinging on to their positions be- cause they like the glamour of the life in Washington, away from their own dreary Main street. The compila.ion would be an eloquent answer to the trite question of “If you don't like it, why don’t you quit?” T L L e T T in coventry, and declares that “as weil might this cruelty be attributed to his having red hair as to ascribe the brutal treatment of young Kaplan to his being Jewish. There is no excuse for this contemptible treatment accorded this young officer by his classmates, but the Naval Academy has welcomed too many successful midshipmen of the same racial extraction as Kaplan to allow reasoning minds to attribute his abuse to his race, or his religion.” And the Waterbury Republican also thinks that “in falrness to the editors it may be sald that they probably did not realize the grossness of their offense. Youths of that age are not able to estimate accurately the values of such public condemnation.” Villa Sanctified. The transfiguration of Pancho Villa 18 the topic of several recent rhapsodles prepared by men who have visited the former bandit chieftain at his ranch in Durango. Villa, it seems, has become a famous farmer. He set out to make his ranch the best in the state of Durango, and he has already suc- ceeded. He has established ex- cellent schools for his laborers. He has abolished chicken fight- ing and all other forms of gambling. Even in his bandit days Vilia was a rigid prohibitionist, and his progress along the path of peace has not made him any more tolerant toward pulque and mescal. Pancho himself is not only learning to read and write Spanish, but is also studying English. His thres children have the services of skilled tutors. There is something very idyllic in this picture of the bristly and illiterate bandit working all day on his farm and spending his evenings learning to read and write. Yet it is not hard to believe. Villa was bloodthirsty, reck- less, flery tempered and often cruel. But, except when he was silly enough to invade the United States, this gory outlaw was invariably fighting on the right side. If we found it impossible to admire Villa for his own sake we could give him a modicum of approval’ for the enemies he had made or selected. Once we talked about “getting” Villa “dead or alive.” Now we have no keen desire to “get” him either way. If he is doing all that his panegyrists say he is doing he is much more valuable on his Durango ranch than he could be as an inmate of an American or Mexican penitentiary or 4s an adornment of a gallows—Cleveland Plain Dealer. The Great Yankee Snark. Is it not about time to issue an honorable discharge to the special @ committee of the United Confederate Veterans to which was delegated the task of combing the school histories for uncomplimentary allusions to the “lost cause”? Such a committee had a mission in life when historians, mostly northern-bred, were writing of the war between the states with pens still warm from the fires of war. But what mission has it now? The damyankee historles that lied about. us are all out of print. Their writers have, for the most part, gone to swer for their lfbels at the bar of judgment. The histories now used in southern schools are the output of men who have no personal grudge to feed by distorting the truth in the south’s disfavor. There has even grown up a generation of fluent his- torlans who were born in the south. the American people. Men have been dtl‘:mlned trgm the academy or their commissions withheld for offenses much less serious. Not only is the good name of the ‘academy involved, but a test of fundamental de'fnocrlcy in the government is at stake.” Which, in the view of the Wheellng Regis- ter, emphasizes the fact that ‘of Kap- Jan it may be said that any boy who can finish second in & class after probably four years o_t persecution and.then say ‘forget it’ i fine gold through ana_through and made of the stuff which g_ncla Sem wants most in officers.” ml;ult‘"t‘h}- New RBedford Standard rather wonders whether It is not a mistake to assume that xlp].;ln ‘was persecuted because he was & “victim of anti-Jewish prejudice.” It recalls that he studied hard and that his classmates “contended that while it was commendable in hin to seek firat place, - he did so at the sacrifice of participation in non-scholastic busi- ness affecting the class as & whole.
