Postmasters for Merit
There were a score of candidates for the
bosition of postmaster of Boston, which has
been vacant for sixteen months. It will go to
Lieorge U. Crocker, tormer city treasurer, a re
publican, on the excellent ground of pre-emi-jtent
fitness. Under the old patronage system
o long cherished by Dotn parties he would m
vitably have been barred in favor of a deserv-
mg democrat. An executive order governing
ppointments wnere vacancies occur m first
last postmasterships has changed all that, and
Vhat would have been a fatal obstacle to Mr.
Crocker's promotion no longer counts in the
Vast
j In the competition held at Boston, for in
stance, the filing of applications was prescribed,
Ind candidates were required to furnish proof
A their qualifications for investigation by civil
service examiners. In grading them, business
jxperience counted 80 per cent, education 20
Ser cent and. contrary to all precedents, poli
ces absolutely nothing. Where former Sena
r Walsh and democratic representatives from
Boston would have busied themselves with
Wssing on the claims of various local demo
crats of their following, in the assurance that
heir choice would be approved by the post
naster general and the president, their services
Vere dispensed with and they were hot even
r suited. ...
This change-of methods in the selection of
ostmasters may cause heartburning among
titicians who cling to old-fashioned views of
"leir special rights as spoils-mongers. But to
public it means simply that m cities like
oston, postoffices are business establishments
it need to be run on business principles.
ew York World,
THE DEMOCRATIC DILEMMA.
The net Outcome of the great gathering of
democratic sachems, medicine men and tom
tom beaten at Washington ia a wider split in
the party. Two acknowledged leaders are as
far apart as the poles on the "paramount" and
harmony is absent from the camp. Mr. Bryan
appears to have slightly the better position. He
comes back with the scalp of the Rum Demon
at his belt, while Mr. Wilson is seeking to rally
his party again to the scene of his defeat on
the treaty.
The president obstinately clings to his de
mand that the treaty with its League of Nations
covenant be ratified just as he presented it to
the senate. He will accept such interpretative
comment as he may understand, but nothing in
the form of reservations or changes in text. As
the latter is not prfcposed, it may be dropped
from consideration. Fourteen reservations
have received approval of a majority of the
senate. These have had democratic support.
The treaty as championed by the president did
not receive the solid support of the democrats
in the senate when it was voted on, and this in
face of the entreaty and command issued from
the sick room at the White House just before
the vote was taken.
What reason has Mr. Wilson for thinking
these democrats will change their minds at
his behest? lie proposes to appeal to the coun
try. Assuming that the democrats hold their
present strength Nin the senate and that every
republican seat to be vacated on March 4, 1921,
is also filled by a democrat, and that they all
vote for the treaty, the necessary two-thirds for
ratification will yet be lacking. Does not this
indicate the fatuity of the president's position?
Mr. Bryan, on the other hand, argues that
the majority's will should prevail. The repub
licans, being in the majority in the senate,
ought to control. He is willing to accept rea
sonable reservations, and especially does he
require that Article X be so interpreted as to
leave the power to declare war in the hands of
congress. His challenge to the president on
this point is square and unescapable. He can
see nothing to be gained by adjourning the
settlement fourteen months.
Whether Mr. Wilson is a candidate for a
third term may only be decided by a careful
reading of his message'. It bears the surface ear
marks of a request for continued power. He
asks little short of revolution in his demand
that the people entirely modify the makeup of
the senate, so his will may prevail; Alongside
this very appropriately goes the equally revo
lutionary demand for a third term in order that
he may see his will carried out.
Chairman Cummings may say that "inevita
ble impulses" are carrying the democratic party
"each day nearer and nearer to victory," but
some of the old war horses of the organization
will recall vividly the Wattersonian epigram re
garding the progress "through a slaughter
house to an open grave."
Stick to Fundamentals.
The advice given the state constitutional
convention by John Lee Webster is timely. It
may bo summed up in "stick to fundamentals."
Any effort to make a catalogue of prohibitions,
limitations and restrictions, is to put a straight
jacket on the commonwealth. Mr. Webster,
with proper pride, pointed out that the princi
ples of government embodied in the existing
constitution had never been criticised during
its almost half century of life. Those clauses
that set limitations have been proved mistaken.
This example should serve well the present
body.
An iron-clad, air-tight constitution will not
meet the needs of an expanding people. If it
were true that Nebraska will never increase in
population, that its interests will remain the
same, without material growth in any way,
then establishing a definite and specific limit
against progress might be wise. We must still
be guided by experience, though, and the man
who will undertake to set a boundary for the
growth of this state is as lacking in vision as
were those statesmen who imagined they saw
in the "great American desert" and the Rocky
mountains a divinely established barrier against
the western expansion of the United States.
But this is not to argue that vision means
visionary. It is possible to forecast the future
by measuring it with the past, and those things
that have been found sound in principle and
safe in application should not be laid aside that
an attractive theory may be put to test. A
constitution to last another half century, under
which we may look forward to social develop
ment, and intellectual as well as material
growth, will be one in which the ideas and ideals
of the fathers, for which this country has al
ways stood steadfastly in peace or war, "de
clared in the form of fundamental principles,
should not be made to yield to temporary
policies or temporary expediencies."
Portuguese Piracy Not Extinct
One of the peculiar twists of our commercial
relations with the world is developing in Portu
gal. Under the law of that country the owner
of a trademark must prove its use in Portugal
to retain its benefit. An enterprising Por
tuguese has registered for himself in his native
land a large number of American automobile
trademarks, and proposes to proceed farther
and have these recognized at the international
trademark bureau at Berne. This will give him
control of the sale of these machines in thir
teen countries, including the South American
countries with which we are trying to develop
trade. It sounds like a comic opera situation,
but American automobile manufacturers -are
desperately striving to beat this suave pirate to
the registration bureau, knowing that if they
do'not they mus settle with him or carry on a
long and perhaps losing fight in court. Other
American manufacturers have suffered in this
manner, through the piracy of their trademarks.
Portugal is not much to look at on the map, but
it contains the germ of great enterprise.
General Pershing looks upon militarism as
a menace, but considers universal military train
ing good policy. This view of the country's
foremost soldier is amply supported by reason
and experience. When Americans reach the
stage where they can not trust themselves, it
will be time to put up the shutters for the
republic.
Irish unionists, and there are some left,
show how thick the harmony is over there
by announcing their opposition to the Lloyd
George home rule jplan. The premier knew
what he was . talking about when he said he
did not expect the bill to please everybody in
Ireland. v
Dealing With the Reds
From the Chicago Tribune.
To rid the country of several hundred aliens
who have been trying to organize, especially
among their fellow 'aliens, a movement to over
throw the government by violence, will appeal
to most Americans as a sensible and highly de
sirable thing to do. There is little doubt that
the United States has been a dumping ground
for revolutionary radicals, and to our humilia
tion we must confess that we have done little
to offset their influence.
Getting rid of a thousand or so is like draw
ing off pus from an infection. But we have
considerably more to do if we want to be a
thoroughly healthy social organism. For one
thing, deportation would not be worth the ex
pense if the deported or their like can step
back- into the country. We must organize
thorough protection against this surreptitious
invasion.
But when we have done this we are only on
the threshold of our problem. There is plenty
of radicalism among citizens who cannot be
deported under the immigration laws. So far
as it directs itselt to argument tor constitu
tional chanee it is entitled to full orotection.
Every citizen has a right to try to convince his
fellow citizens that our institutions are defec
tive, that they ought to be amended, even that
they ought to be replaced by other institutions;
the soviet, for examole.
But when radicals preach the establishment
of their theories by force or when they con
spire to overthrow government by violent ana
unlawful means they become criminals and
should be promptly sent to prison.
Sentimental objection wiH be made to de
portation and other measures against the reds.
It is' already urged that radicalism will be in
creased by persecution. We do not think the
deportation or punishment of men and women
who preach violence, assassination, and destruc
tion will be considered persecujion by normal
Americans.
But deportation, exclusion, and punishment
are only negative measures. We must add to
them intelligent constructive action. We are
suffering now from our neglect of the strang
ers within our gates. A good deal of radical
talk of the exploitation of immigrants is bun
combe. The great majority of the millions
that have come to us in the last half century
have bettered themselves. Much of the worst
exploitation has been by their own race. But
this is not relevant to our problem. We have
not done what we should in common sense
have done to teach our immigrants to make
use of American opportunities. Instead of as
suming they would breathe in Americanism
from the air, we owe it to our own interest as
well as theirs to protect them from exploitation
and provide them with sound, practical instruc
tion in American principles and institutions.
A considerable proportion of the foreign
language press is radical. There is a constant
education in radicalism going on in workers'
institutes, clubs and societies. Against this
there is almost no organized effort for the
teaching of Americanism. The public schools
have treated the subject lifelessly, without in
telligence or enthusiasm. Radicalism is taught
with fervor, in terms with which the ignorant
are familiar. Its terms are all European, the
language of old world oppression.
The public schools have not functioned ef
fectually in this their most important duty.
They must now be assisted by other agencies
to do so, by clubs and organizations, and espe
cially by the press. The best antidote for rad
icalism is facts, the broad, controlling facts of
American life and history. The reds are carry
ing on a constant education in their fallacies.
America ought to speak for her truths.
Mr. McAdoo Has a Reason,
No Doubt
The frequency and circumstance with which
Mr. McAdoo's friends announce that he is not
a candidate for the democratic nomination do
him a great injustice, in case he really isn't. We
don't know whether Mr. McAdoo is a candidate
or not, but if he isn't he ought to be able, to
improve upon the imaginations of those spokes
men who are telling the country why he isn't
The latest announcement is that the former
secretary is too busy making a living for his
family to run for president. It is a noble ambi
tion and one calculated to keep most of us busy.
But most of us can do only one thing at a time,
whereas Mr. McAdoo, when he was a member
of the administration, thought nothing of com
bining the two jobs now held by Mr. Glass and
Mr. Hines and of stepping out, at the same time
and selling a few odd billions of bonds to a
public not accustomed to piking with the 3 and
4 per cents.
Remembering these thingsand remember
ing them quite to Mr. McAdoo's credit we
may be forgiven if the plea of extreme preoccu
pation in business does not altogether explain
iiis backwardness in the way of taking on a
little thing like running for president. We shall
have to believe there are other reasons.
Nobody knows what they are, of course. But
take any man of good ability and praiseworthy
political ambition, with nothing in the way of
his probable nomination by his party except
that his father-m-law is president and won't say
what his intentions are take any such man and
ask him if he is a candidate, and what could he
be expected to say? There you are and there
Mr. McAdoo is.
Nobody can blame him for feeling a good
deal as Zekle did when courting Hulda:
Ft stood a spell on one foot fust.
Then he stood a spell on t'other,
An' on which one he felt the wust
He couldn't ha' told ye nuther.
But that's no reason why his friends should
keep assuring us, with perfectly bland counte
nances, that he never felt more composed in
his life and is all wrapped up in matters entirely
foreiVn to politics and the presidency. Kansas

Dreads the Machine Gun.
Omaha, Jan. 6. To the Editor of
The Bee1: What a wonderful sug
gestion that the larger banks should
use machine guns in way of sudden,
aiiacKS ror robbery, etc.
Does the promoter of this il
lustrious idea ever stop to think a
moment that it takes expert men to
handle one of these guns, and does
he take into consideration that
neither of the large banks has ever
been held up, been running for half
a century, and if by chance either
of the banks should be held up at
the time of day that either Ralston
or Ho iiso n bank was attacked it
would indeed be a healthy innova
tion to open up, from First National
or United States National or Omaha
National about 11 o'clock in the
forenoon "on Saturday, as these aru
the days usually selected by this
class of gentry, with a machine gun.
The street at this time of day is
a bank of surging humanity.
Just the thought would seem to
strike one of its absurdity and a per
son entertaining a thought for a
single moment ought to be sent to
the "bughouse." Such brilliancy may
be used as a bluff, but there are peo
ple probably foolish enough to at
tempt something of this kind. The

Figures for Egg Boycotters.
Omaha, Jan. 4. To the Editor of
The Bee: I will grab a few minutes
this evening from my work as
census enumerator to put up some
figures for the egg-boy cotters to con
sider when they start to get pledges
from the people to not eat eggs to
force prices down.
During the month of December
Just past, my hens laid Just 82. eggs
and the feed for them cost me over
$20 and my income from the eggs
was Just $5.20.
I wish the ones who are making
such a fuss about the prices of eggs
would figure up and see how much
I made out of my eggs clear. I have
talked with others who have chick
ens and they either did not get as
many eggs as I did, or they did not
get any at all.
One man told me he got 52 eggs
and paid $15 for feed. The people
are always talking about the high
price of eggs ought to try it them
selves and see where they come out.
They would rather fight home
people because they can get at them
more easily, I suppose, than to make
any tight against the products of the
big corporations.
The way feed costs, I would have
to get 25 cents each for my eggs
this winter to come out even on the
cost of feed.
So 1 would ask the people who are
going out to force the price of eggs
down, to find out that they are
simply fighting private people and
not the big corporations at all.

The Telegraph Operator.
Br ELIZABETH MATEER.
Janet and Edith decided in their
junior year in high school that they
would like to become telegraph op
erators. By saving their allowance,
they were able to buy a $5
apparatus. Edith's father, who was
an electrician, flitted up their bat
tery and made the connection be
tween the two neighboring houses.
It didn't take them long to learn
Morse's dot and dash code and they
were soon sending messages back
and forth. Visits to the local tele
graph office acquainted their ears
with the customary intervals. After
graduation, they passed the tests
required by the Postal Union com
pany and started the service as
check girls. At the end of a month
they were given newspaper switch
boards and in a year were trained
operators.
Schools in many of the cities
offer courses in telegraphy, but for
the girl who cannot avail herself
of these, the practical courses of
fered by the telegraph companies

will prove sufficient if she is a high
school graduate. A general educa
tion with an accurate knowledge of
spelling, typewriting, and penman
ship is necessary.
The girl who passes the mental
and physical tests required must
have ability to concentrate, a pa
tient disposition, strong nerves, and
excellent hearing. Young girls have
an advantage because their ears can
be more easily trained.
For a number of years now, girls
have been finding opportunities in
this line of work. Promotions are
usually won by accuracy, rapidity
and general reliability. Many girls
lose their positions through careless
capitalization or spelling. The pay
and hours are much better than
those of the telephone operator.
One of the most coveted posi
tions for a girl is operator of the
private wire of a stock company or
commercial house. A girl who wants
to study up telegraphy herself can
find plenty of books on the subject
in the library of her home town or
can procure the names of such
books by writing to one of the big
telegraph companies.

Production Engineer.
By J. H. MILLAR.
Who is he, anyway?
A new man with a new job.
When your father was a boy, he
was told that he would not need to
study to be a business man. If a
boy decided to go into business, his
aunts all drew long faces, "Why,
William is going to be a business
man; isn't that too bad? Just think
of what he nght be!"
But now a business man's work
is often so important that it is hard
to find men big enough for it. Think
of a corporation with 3,000 em
ployes. Engineers design its ma
chines; foremen and employment
managers hire its workmen; bank
ers advance it money. But some
where there must be a man wise
enough to take all these machines,
men, and money and work them to
gether successfully.
A production engineer is a man
who can make men, machines, and
money work together more effi
ciently and harmoniously. He is
the man called in to say what is the
matter with a sick business.
Boys do not become production
engineers immediately; there is a
great deal to learn; it. must be
learned by two methods; (1) study
the best books on "industrial man
agement," "scientific management,"
"efficiency," "system," and "factory
administration." Get all the educa
tion you can, preferably in a good
advanced school of business and
commerce. Then (2) get an overall
job in a factory. Get right out into
the smoke and dirt; you can never
learn it from an office stool.
Asryou study, work; as you work,
study. Try to see the factory as a
whole. Most men see so many ma
chines and so many workmen that
they never see the factory at all.
Try to figure out ways to do things
better, to save time and money, to
make work quicker, easier, and
more pleasant.
If possible, work for a while fn
each epartment of the plant; this
will let you see the whole quicker.
Some day, if you do this, perhaps
your office door will say "Consult
ing Industrial Engineer," perhaps it
