DELIVERING THE GOODS. AYS before the Republican Convention of 1920, Mr. Daugherty, now Attorney Gen- eral, confidently predicted that lie would “put over” the nomination of Senator Harding when he met with the leaders controlling the G. O. P. Just why his confidence was well grounded ap- pears in each succeeding raid on Civil Service. Mr. Daugherty, it is evident, was able to bid high- est for the support of the machine politicians. He went to Chicago with a blanket power of attorney trom the candidate. He could promise jobs. His candidate was tractable. tlc could go further than other managers in selling his candidate to the pat- ronage hunter. When the Senate this week sidetracked the in- ve: tion into the Bureau of Printing and En- graying raid, it accepted Mr, Daugherty’s power of ‘attorney. It ratified the deal he made with the G. @. P. bosses, It loaded the counter with pic ior the faithful. t if this is the kind of politician Mr. Daugh- erty is, why hasn't he the courage to admit it? Why doesn’t he attack Civil Service as hurtful to pofitics instead of attacking it as an aid to inefli- ciehk}? w doubt Mr. Daugherty’s claim that Govern- vf melt business could be done better by two-thirds the present number of employees if they were ef- ficient. But we have no evidence that political apppintées are more efficient and faithful than cil Service workers. All experience is to the contrary. lore politics is not a remedy for Civil Service illg} More Civil Service may be.

Another feature will appeal to train dispatchers —the possibility of direct connection between the locomotive cab and the central office. Every dispatcher has known the nightmare fear of having sent two trains rushing toward collision with no agency for preventing the wreck. Only too often these catastrophes have actually hap- pened. With direct wireless telephone communication to each engine cab, even if the use were restricted to emergencies, this horror would be banished. The radio telephone may yet save lives on the railroads as the wireless telegraph has saved lives on the sea. telephones in berths and * LET THE GOVERNOR ACT. Y going back to the nine-platoon system, which puts some 600 additional patrolmen on daily post, and by,asking the Board of Esti- mate for authority to add 1,192 new men to the force, Enright Police Commissioner sceks to placate an aroused public. Goy. Miller's warning as to who will be held responsible if the city is not made sate has also had its effect. But an Enright worried for the safety of his own job does not suddenly become an Enright competent ‘to do all that should have long since been done for the safety of the city An Enright who has pooh-poohed crime ‘does not become overnight the city’s best protection against crime. An Enright whose acts of flagrant favoritism have lowered the morale of the police does not become under pressure the ideal head and director of the force, So far as public judgment is concerned, Enright has cooked his goose. In the face of rampant crime he has sat back and grinned. When citizens have complained to him that they were being robbed, blackjacked and pistoled he has told them to forget it and stop reading the newspapers. Does he think he can square himself with them now by a few belated gestures of activity? If the city needs more police it should have more police. But if it had a hundred thousand police, Enright is not the man who should command them. No police force, large or small, can do justice to itself under Enright rule. Crime conditions in New York have for months Past presented an extraordinary opportunity for a Police Commissioner to prove his ability and win public confidence i Enright has thrown away that opportunity, He has treated an alarmed,. crime-harassed public with arrogant contempt The best sentiment of that public now/demands his removal Since Mayor Hylan won't remove I nright, the duty devolves squarely upon Gov.

A most conservative guess, however, would put their number at 5,000,000, Begging in India iy not forecd upon individuals by adve but is actually an accepted lucrative There be 2 circumstances, profession handed down from fathe to son throughont whole tribes. Most of these beggars hide their inn greed under a cloak of religion, and as such the Hindus not only acknowl! edge their right to bes but actually imagine that it is their inherent duty to ask for alms. . In the city the beggars are much as we know them here. But in the country, where they rely on the igno rance of the farmers, their attitude changes entirely from humility to un- bearable arrogance. Their dress varies with their sects, but most of them carry gongs, bells, or vonch shells, or perhaps all three. to make a noise and announce thei artival, The crue! harshness and greed with which they take advan tage of the superstitious kindness the natives is incredible.
