SATURDAY. JUNE 5. I9*>The
Appeal of Casualty Hospital.
So many appeals have been made since the war popularized
th. drive method of raising funds that it is quite possible the
people of Washington will give 'but a passing thought to one o
the most worthy charitics aimed to alleviate pain and suffering
within our midst. _
We are accustomed to hear the clanging bell of the am?bulancc
as it speeds through the city streets on its mission
oi relief. We sometimes try to peer within for a glimpse of the
sufferer and feel a conscious pang of sorrow that misfortune or
disease has overtaken some fellow human being. Seldom do
we ponder that somebody must be ever vigilant to maintain this
service and the probable cost of this very necessary element
in our lives. . . .
Casualty Hospital now asks a minute's consideration and the
response which it will bring in its appeal for public aid. l or the
first time in its history of thirty-two years* it is in pressing
need of money.
The ambulances from this institution make over 2,500 runs
in a year or an average of more than seven calls per day. It
takes care of casualty cases east of Seventh street northwest,
which includes the railway terminals, the navy yard and other
busy centers where accidents are always liable to happen. Besides
it cares for a great out-patient clientele from whom no
revenue is derived.
Casualty never turns down h call and for a great many nothing
is received cither for this service or the care of the injured
afterwards. .
The late Thomas W. Smith, one of the most public spirited
of our citizens, who acquired his fortune in the National Capital
and was thoroughly acquainted with its needs left $.20,000 for a
new building to be available when $30,000 more is contributed.
With fifty beds more it is likely that the hospital would be selfsustaining.
In. addition to this sum Casualty owes $25,000, partly
for equipment and partly for maintenance since war conditions
have increased its expense far beyond the ordinary revenues.
The hospital asks the people of Washington to provide this
needed sum of $75,000 before June 15. There ought not be the
slightest doubt about the institution attaining this objective. Its
work is of the most practical kind and it makes no distinction
between rich and poor when the cry of distress is raised. It
makes an appeal that should touch not only the heart but the
pockctbook of all who want Washington to progress in the campaign
against disease and suffering.
Bergdoll's Fadeaway.
Whither has the whilom Harry Thaw of Philadelphia flown?
Bergdoll intimidated Philadelphians for years and put their lives in
daily peril by his mad motoring through crowded streets and squares,
defying officers of the law, bluffing judges before whom he was haled
occasionally, and by some subtle influence, not unconnected with his
purse, keeping out of prison.
It was no naive, pin-feathered, altruistic pacifist with I olstoi
as a tcacher who fell into Uncle Sam's legal toils and then slipped
away, making his jailers seem like German marks (perhaps they
were). No! Bergdoll was a too-rich young Nietzchcan with a bad
pre-war record fpr lawlessness and a war record of craven duplicity.
A natural inference would be that once caught he would
not be lost.
Why he was not held, who aided him to escape, why he is not
recaptured, what the influences are that are toning down publicity
abou' him and his case arc ijiicstions the people are asking, even
thoug.i Presidential conventions impend and public thought is centered
on them.
This is not a time for "passing the buck" as to departmental responsibility.
That trick will not work. Nor is it best for the War
Department and the Department of Justice officials to combine to
bury the case.
Engineers in Council.
Vocations, like persons, change in prestige and relative rank from
generation to generation or century to century. During the past
quarter of a century the calling of an engineer has gained at about
as fast a rate as any profession, and for reasons that are on the surface,
visible to any thinker even of mediocre insight.
Washington" has just been the forum of debate for the most
representative and largest assembly of engineers over gathered
in this country. They put themselves on record with
respect to national and international policies that they have a special
right to pass judgment upon.
Future Presidents and Congresses must reckon with this massed
force of technical experts, who in many instances also are widevisioned
-publicists. They have proved what use of the scientific
method can do in adding to the economic wealth of the nation. They
now propose to insist upon something of the same kind in conduct
of the government. They are men who will favor everything making
for efficient and economical government, standardization of administrative
technique and employment of experts for governmental
tasks. They had their day of power during the war, and discovered
what they could do for society in a co-operative, professional way;
and now they decline to scrap their force or quit being a. factor in
making a better government for a better society.
'
It was too mu^h to expec* that the District would get a 50-50
break from Congress without the power of the ballot to force it
but there's comfort in the fact that it might have been worse than
60-40.
Booms which thrived mainly through the careful attention
of the press agent's typewriter, are having a hard time surviving
the Chicago atmosphere.
* ????????
Delaware may be famous for its peach crops, but the suffragists
have also entered it for consideration when the lemon awards are
announced.
Some of our prominent Republican leaders arc already ill
before the convention and more will be ailing after it is all over.
It would be nice if we could give the District school controversy
a long vacation but it seems determined to stick around.
Au revoir. Congress. With all your faults we'll be glad to see
you back on the job again.

wasn't. It was Just a load of hay.

Some confessed that they

| Men and Business
By RICHARD SPILLANE.
As an economic measure a bill
' has been introduced into parliament
! in London to register the names of
the fathers of children born out of
wedlock and endeavor to compel
the male parent to provide for the
child.
The bill passed its second reading
by an overwhelming vote, althougn
niany of those who supported it
criticized some of Its features, and
insisted upon correction in committee.
They feared the bill as drafted
left too many loopholes for blackmail
and, in some respects, was too
drastic, but In its general purpose
they were for it. despite the fact
the government opposed It.
Vital statistics show that of an
average of 50.000 illegitimate children
born in CJreat Britain annually
20.000 die in the first year. Of the
legitimate children born the ratio of
death in the first year is only onehalf
so great.
The reason for the high mortality
of illegitimate children is obvious,
the chief cause being inability of
the mother to give to her infant tne
care and attention bestowed upon
the child born in wedlock.
Apparently the* British. aside
from the great injustice done to
innocent children under the existing
system, feel that the nation
after the great human loss in th?
war period, cannot afford the sacrifice
of life the present disregard of
the babe of unmarried parents entails.
Illegitimacy is a great handicap,
but some rise above it. The man
whose influence next to Washington
was greatest in the early days of
the republic and whose name is
held in reverence bore the bar sinister.
In Great Britain 280 newspapers
and periodicals raised their prices
In the first four months of this
year. Now the Manchester Guardian
makes the 281st. It has gone
to "tuppence"?4 cents?a copy.
Since January. 1919. the cost of
paper has nearly doubled In Great
Britain, as it has in the United
States and all the rest of the
world. The price of ink has advanced
even more than that of paper.
Wages have gone higher proportionately
than material.
The woes of the publisher the
world over are many these parlous
times. . . .

During one of the recent sessions
of the Senate committee Investigating
campaign expenditures, proceedings
were delayed because Senator
James A. Reed, of Missouri, had
a toothache and was forced to KO
to see his dentist. The Senater from
Missouri'han a rather savage way
with a witness that resembles the
third degree methods of a criminal
lawyer, and this caused one of his
associates to remark that It was
lucky for the witness that Senator
Reed did not attempt to cross examine
while the aching molar was
still In active eruption.
The closing hour of Congress
serves one purpose at least; it Is
keeping the members of Congress

Text of Meaaase.
The President's message follows:
1 am returning without my signiture
H. R. 9783, "An Act to provide
a national budget system, an independent
audit of Government accounts.
and for other purposes." X
do this with the greatest regret. I
am in entire sympathy with the objects
of this bill and would gladly
approve it but for the fact that I
regard one of the provisions contained
in section 30S as unconstitutional.
This is the provision to the effect
that the Comptroller General and
the Assistant Comptroller General,
who are to be appointed by the
President with the advice and consent
of the Senate, may be removed
at any time by a concurrent resolution
of Congress after notice and
hearing, when, in their judgment,
the Comptroller General or Assistant
Comptroller General Is incapacitated
or inefficient, or has been guilty
of neglect of duty, or of malfeasance
in office, or of any felony or
conduct involving moral turpitude,
and for no other cause and in no
other manner except by Impeachment.
The effect of this is to prevent tne
removal of these officers for any
cause except either by impeachment
or a concurrent resolution of Congress.
It has. I think, always been
the accepted construction of the
Constitution that the power'to appoint
officers of this kind carries
with it. as an incident, the power to
remove. 1 am convinved that the
Congress is without Constitutional
power to limit the appointing power
and its incident, the power of removal
derived from the Constitution.
No Authority In l,an.
Th" section leferred to not only
iorbid-i the Kxecutivc Jo remove
these officers, but undei takes to empower
the Congress by a concurrent
resolution to remove an officer appointed
by the Piesident with tiladvice
at d cont? nt of the Senate.
1 i an find lr. the Constitution no
warrant for the exercise of this
power by the Congress.
There is cett&inly no express authority
conferred and 1 am unable
to see that authority for the exercise
of this power is implied In
any express grant ot power. On
the contrary, 1 think its exercise
is clearly negatived by section 2
of Article II
That section, after p-oviding the
certain enumerated officers and all
officers whose appointments are not
othtrwiie provided for shall be appointed
by the PresiiUnt with the
advice and content of the Senate,
provides that the Congress may by
. law vest the appointment of such
[inferior officers as they think proper
n the President alone, in the courts
of law, or in the heads of departments.
It would have been within the
| constitutional power of the Congress,
In creating these cfflces, to
| have vested the power of appointment
in the President alone. In the
I President with the advice and con\
sent of the Senate, or even in the
'head of a department. Regarding
ns I do the pov er of removal from
' oflice ns an etrential incident to
the appointing power. I cannot escape
the conclusion that the vesting
of this power of removal in
the Congress is rncor?titutional and
! there'ore I am enable to approve
thc bill.
I 4iii returning the bill at thc
I earliest possible moment with the
hope that the Congress may find
lime before adjournment to remedy
this defect. WOODROW WILSON.

In the Limelight
By George Perry Morris.
Former Minister to Denmark,
Maurice F. Egan. says that of course
American women sooner or later
will enter the diplomatic service and
take their plac.es as Ministers and
Ambassadors serving Uncle Sam. In
theory he is right, quite logical, and
probably sure of practical proof of
his theory ere he dies. You and I
know many women competent to
give points to men diplomats, either
of the old school or the new school
type, and then beat them at their
own game Mrs. Carrie Chapman
Catt or Miss Mary Garrett Hay
would make some of our present
representatives at European courts
diszy with mingled envy and mortification.
Conservative Presbyterians of the
older generation will note with
sympathetic regret the death of
Rev. Charles A. Stoddard. He never
had the brilliancy, as an editor of
the New York Observer, whichi his
predecessor, the famous Irenaeui
; Prime, showed but he kept the
I Journal running on even, orthodox
: keel until the religious press of the
! country entered the stage of dolI
drums soon after the new century
dawned. The Observer was the
! weekly that for so many years
| printed two sections, one to be read
| on Sunday and the other-on week
days. Life was dualistic then. To
become informed on Sunday as to
events in Washington or London
was wicked. What happened centuries
ago in ISabyion, Jerusalem,
Rome or Corinth it was virtuous to
I know.
The cause of rsychical research
1 In this country has had more famoys
advocates than Dr. James H.
j Hyslop, but none more arduous
j and insistent in investigation, followed
by propaganda work. Litigation
now before the New York
courts discloses that he is laid
aside by a severe hemorrhage of
the brain, shutting off power of
speech. Hut if he can continue to
write he will, for he and the cause
j are one.
j If New ^ ork City is to pass under
j the harrow of civil war of an industrial
sort such as the California
'ports have known and if the campaign
of the merchants and shipping
I companies against the truckmen and
! lonKshoremen is ta be fought on the
California model, then shrewd judgment
has been shown in importing
! Frederick J. Koster, of San Franeis!
co. as adviser of the Merchants' Association.
He aided the business in|
ter-Hts of that 'itp in a prolonged
and successful fight; and with less
financial backing <$5,000,000) than
the New York combatants will put
at his disposal.
