During the war, for instance, politics and personal pull appointed inspectors of air- craft who couldn't tell the difference between the buzz of the propellers 8 _ and the evaporation of the batteries, and there were consequent fatalities every week, or oftener. Ever since, such sort of “policy” has been paid for in human lives, and the only experienced officer with courage enough to tell ple of this country don’t want. longs. “ ” up. stitutional and a farce. This and nothing but the truth. Public “Service” VERY once in a while there comes to The Star a letter similar to this, which arrived today: “I dropped into the city engineer's office this morn- ing just before 8 o'clock to leave some papers, Sev: eral clerks were loitering back of the counter. “After waiting for some time for one, without re- sult, I inquired of one clerk if there was anyone who would wait on me for a minute, He looked up at the clock and replied, ‘No, not yet.’ The clock reg: istered three minutes of eight. “Is it any wonder that taxpayers become disgusted every time there is an increase in the tax rate for increases for city employes, when they give Service and lack of accommodation, as to refuse wait on a person at three minutes before eight, hen a half-dozen of them were idling about, even their day did not begin until 8 o'clock?” The Star realizes that this is an iso- lated case. It realizes that there are many courteous employes in the county-city building who are trying to serve the pub- lic honestly and to do it with a smile. And it hates to see these faithful ones being constantly run down because of the attitude of a few lazy drones who have No business being on the public payroll. It is largely up to the employes them- selves to see that these drones either are made to do their duty or are eliminated. For the indifference and shiftlessness of a few reflects adversely upon all, which is grossly unjust to the great majority that do try to give the public good service. Frank Waterman, would-be mayor of New York, addresses his audiences with a shovel in his hand. But you won't hear many enthusiastic roars until somebody mounts the rostrum, jug in hand. _ When Does He Get It? ea TOR BORAH says that the world court is part of the league of na- tions and that the vast majority of Amer- icans are “unmistakably opposed” to the latter. The gentleman from Idaho is most cer- tainly better informed than anybody else on earth, if he knows what the vast ma- jority of Americans want at this time in respect of the league. If he bases his knowledge upon the election returns of 1920, it is to be remembered that millions of Americans didn’t vote at all upon that occasion and it must be recalled that, at the very next election, the people gave millions of majority to a nominee who stood for the world’s court. Where does Borah get his “vast majority?” Fact is that, owing to the number of _stay-at-homes, the opinion of the vast majority of American voters is rarely ex- pressed. Also, it is nearly six years since there was any national expression as to the league, and there is an abundance of proof in our political history that the vot- ing majority is in the habit of changing its views as to issues, During those six years, with America outside the league, there has been an al- mighty lot of hair-pulling but very little of settlement of war problems, due, very — ee 2 Q What is the aeroplane speed Fecord for the United States? | A.

Of course. In Calvin's boyhood those innocent Vermonters had little or no con- cept of the left hind foot of a graveyard rabbit. They didn’t give enough consider- ation to Calvin’s thoroness in gunning for political office. Town mayor to assembly- man to lieutenant governor to governor to Daugherty’s successor to Harding would be over-straining their vision. So Calvin surprised ‘em from the jump-off to date.
