C. G. Carr, is fa question which time alone can decide, But he certainly i) has far greater opportunities, Carr was constantly handi- Capped by the fact that he was only a lieutenant and could therefore be overridden by every captain on the force. ‘O'Brien, on the other hand, ranks next to the chief himself ® —and can thus be assured of having a free hand. i Tt is to be regretted that Sergeant Frank Fuqua, who caused the trouble that led to the reorganization of the ® traffic division, is left in his old job. A trouble-maker is @ & trouble-maker in any administration. But The Star hopes that Inspector O’Brien will prove © himself a big enough man to do his duty, no matter who his 1) subordinates may be.

The subsidy bill is before the senate © and unless a vote can be had before March 4 when the Hiock of lame duck senators retire to private life, the bill itself will be a dead duck. When the subsidy bill was in the house several months ago, its friends hotly denied that subsidy was proposed only for liners and not for cargo ships or tramp ships. rman Lasker, shipping board, has since written Sena- tor Pomerene, however, saying positively that the bill /) means what it says and that no ships but liners will get the ~pa H Miantime the press agents are telling the world that the » Subsidy will provide ships to move the farmers’ wheat and other surplus crops and to move the surplus products of “mine, forest, and factory. Bunk! ‘ Cargo ships are the ships that haul wheat and coal and Steel. The subsidy is not for them. Society islands in the Pacific had a big earthquake and don’t feel so ‘Very sociable now.

To do this it was necessary to pass a bill carrying with it a constitutional amendment to be ratified by threo- fourths of the states of the country. Bills to this end were | Submitted in congress by Senators Wadsworth, McCor | mick and others, and the McCormick bill was finally de- ‘upon. ere was no objection in the republican party to the amendment, and the democrats are offering no serious opposition. Anyway, in a congress over- E ee atinely republican, there was every reason to expect iate action. Zut what happened? | In a subcommittee on judiciary, hearings were begun d witnesses summoned to give their tiresome testimony day after day fdr the benefit solely of highly paid stenog- Taphers. Weeks‘have dragged into months, the testimony grown into a‘library, and still we are told that “a little more time is needed for deliberation on this most ‘important matter.” _ Why deliberate longer, if the majority in congress fay- the bill? Well, for one thing, congress will adjourn on March 8, and if hearings can drag out until then while the commit- tee hears more useless testimony, it will mean just one ‘year more of profits for those who enrich themselves by the labors and lives of little children. Isn’t deliberation helpful, tho! __ Says Tom Marshall, former vice president, “None of us likes to work. ‘T hate to work. I wouldn’t work if I didn't have to. I hate work so ‘much that I'd like to be vice president again.” There's one honest man for ‘e know the wherefore of that recent boost in gasoline prices. w a picture in the Sunday paper showing John D.

Burns instructed me himself to distribute literature and preach violence and force at radical meet- _ ings,” Albert Bailin, former Burns operative testified on ~ the stand. ) _ A pretty picture of the chief of the department of justice bureau of investigation! Mr. Burns still happens to be in the business of promoting “red scares, witness recent testimony before a congressional committee. That happens to be Mr. Burns’ hobby—we should say, Mania. It may have been a good business proposition, albeit none too scrupulous, for a private detective agency, but it is a rotten business for the government to be in. | Navy transport Henderson, chartered for the congressional junket to the naval maneuvers, has accomodations for 60 passengers.
