Members of Congress, or the e A White House, should attempt to clarify the furlough plan in its relation to the ten per cent cut ordered on the appro- pristion bills and thus afford & modi- cum of relief for already harassed and puzzled Government workers. The ten per cent cut on the Interior Department bill, approved in such short order by the House, naturally means that an unestimated number of em-| rectify in recent years. Worst of all however, was the stultifying sense of superfority which the average teacher manifested, although every child in the room realized, whether he knew as much consciously, that “teacher” really knew | nothing except a lot of memorized facts. The ~depressing effect of universal education, then, may be looked upon &s one of the prime causes of the change of attitude in this country which led steadily away from the regard, almost veneration, for difference of character, and finally changed into the wholesale demand for likeness of personality, likes, dislikes. living habits, dress, etc. Another prime cause of this national blight, which has mildewed the cities | the worst, lies in the growth of avenues of communications and the interchange of knowledge. The fault lies not so much with these, either, as with the human mind, which has not been strong_enough to stand the strain. Even Old Sonner, could he be alive to- day, would read somewhere that un- bulged pockets were “the thing” among well dressed men, and would become dissatisfied with himself and his papers and finally discard them, to the huge loss of the world, and of himself, and to the real satisfaction of no one except some flighty young niece who would say, normal. ‘They were nearer to the sources’ of real American tradition, | nearer by many years and several gen- erations.

It is & desirable reform that Gen. Glassford has instituted. In the past a motorist with “pull” eould generally arrange it so that the policeman who gave him his ticket would. upon per- suasion, “forget about it.” This is not so, however, under Gen. Glassford's regime. Officers must now make out tickets in triplicate form, one going to the motorist. one being kept by the officer and the other going into the files of arrests.

The President’s furlough plan should be considered as supplying the neces- sary legislation to make this practice uniform. It should be considered as necessitated by the policy of cutting the appropriation bills ten per cent. It should be regarded as supplementing the ten per cent policy.
