It seems to The Star that the Board
of Trade and the Bar Association are
right in their almost unanimous contention
that In the public interest the
court auditor should be paid by the
fees of litigants In exact proportion to
the service rendered, and not by a
salary contributed by the taxpayers.
The wise modern tendency to substitute
salaries for fees has almost
universally found application In purely j
ministerial offices, where the official I
has merely to supervise a clerical force
that performs services for which small
fees are charged, aggregating a large
and disproportionate Income for this
supervisor, like clerks of court, marshals,
registers and recorders.
The office of court auditor or master
in chancery is not a ministerial office.
Its functions are two-thirds judicial
and one-third accountant. In both
functions the service rendered is personal,
not performed perfunctorily and
by proxy through clerical assistants,
and varies in extent and arduousness
of labor in every case handled. The
reasoning which renders wise the substitution
of a salary for fees in compensating
officials like the recorder of
aecns is totally inappiicaDie to tne
auditor.
The auditor or master in chancery is
an appointee of the court to facilitate
tiie effective movement of the judicial
machinery, who performs special judicial
or semi-judicial or legal services
for litigants and who, under the supervision
of the court, is compensated by
these litigants in proportion to the
service rendered. In some jurisdictions
this work is distributed among special
masters appointed by the court for
each separate case. Here the bulk of
this work is under the old Maryland
law intrusted to one court appointee,
the auditor.
If the present auditor has by his
marked ability and by his capacity to
work long hours performed professional
services for litigants which have
reasonably earned him an average of,
eay. $9,000 a year, and that amount is too
targe a sum for us to permit one lawyer
to earn, the evil of profitable overwork
would be corrected if more of
this work were diverted from him by
the court to special masters, or if two
auditors were appointed by the court
instead of one.
The litigants, the people of Washington,
*re not complaining that the auditing
t'ees in themselves are too great. The
taxpayers are not demanding the privilege
of paying the auditor a salary and
of turning arbitrary auditing fees from
litigants into the Treasury as a new
source of District revenue, to be manipulated
as an additional weapon to destroy
the half-and-half arrangement. The
Board of Trade and the Bar Association
have declared with practical unanimity
Tor the present system. '
If in the eyes of the envious (and of
?ome, perhaps, who are unenvious) the
ludltor earns too much, reduce his earnings
in the manner suggested through
i lie court which appoints him. Do
not. in order to strike him, revolutionize
the character of the office itself and violate
the universal practice of the federal
j.-.dic'ury in respect to this office.
The judiciary committee and t*e Senute
itself are rich in lawyers of the
highest class who understand thoroughly
the character and functions of
tiiis office and its relation to the court i
.i.nd litigants. These men not only recognize
the motives back of the pro- J
nosed chane<>. hut i?o !
suits. They will be slow to consent to j
the conversion of the local court-appointed,
fee-paid master in chancery
int?-? a salaried tax-paid official, to the
injury of the local judicial machinery,
when neither the court nor the litigating
and taxpaying community has
u^ked it: and when, on the contrary,
the community has, through its largest
organized representative bodies, expressed
its hearty approval both of the
highly efficient auditor and of the present
fee system.
An unarmed peace may be as practical
as it is desirable, but it will require
a very positive understanding as
to the importance to be attached to
agreements between nations.
A Mexican provisional government
rarely permits an individual any distinction
beyond that of being mentioned
as among those president.
The "buy-a-oarload" idea Is going
much stronger with wheat than the
"buy-a-bale" idea with cotton.
An Extra Session.
Addressing his followers in the
House Tuesday, and urging them to
remain at their posts and attend to
business. Leader L'nderwood declared:
"The last thing the people of the country
want today is an extra session."
Would not a worse thing be hasty
legislation at this session in an effort
to avoid an extra session?
A popular saying is that Congress is
tired, and the country tired of Congress.
To a degree that is true. The
present Congress lias transacted a good
d?ul of business. Ft has tolled through
two summers, and is now in the middle
of its second winter. Much important
legislation has been enacted.
The business world has been greatly
harried. All matters disposed of have
touched it. Tariff, currency, trusts,
have kept business men guessing for
almost two years, and much of what
has been done is thoroughly unsatisfactory
to them. They have sighed
for a rest.
But many of the tired legislators are
going on the retired list. Their constituents
in November registered a
tired feeling as to them. Their places
will be taken by new men fresh from
the people, and ready for action. Some
are probably eager for action. They
w9u ob the strength of condemning
what had been done, and on promisee of t
what they would do If elected. Called c
together In the early spring, they would 1
have opportunity at least to show their c
hands. i
Mr. Underwood was not among the 1
defeated. His constituents were so t
well pleased with him they promoted c
him. He will be a senator In the next
Congress. If an extra session is held I
he will be as busy, and almost as con- i
splcuous, during the time as he has t
been since April, 1913. But as he is c
young and vigorous he could stand the
racket.
Considered as a separate proposition, 1
an extra session is not desirable. But t
when considered, as it must be, in con- t
nectlon with other matters, it loses s
much of its menace to personal and
business comfort. If more measures
are to be enacted they should not be f
rushed. Far better would it be for r
both parties and for the country for (
Congress to give the proper time to 1
all questions having to do with the
conditions with which, partly as the
result of the European war, we are I
now faced. i
i t
Badges for Legislators.
The Cary plan of badging members of i
Congress to prevent false impersonation
for the avoidance of penalties or
for obtaining exceptional privileges ?
is by no means to be scoffed at as impracticable.
Nearly all people engaged .
in special lines of activity carry identi- 1
tlcatlon cards or badges. The members t
of trade unions carry their cards. De- 1
tectives, gas inspectors, municipal officials
have badges. Even the newspaper
reporters are officially desig- 1
nated with stamped bits of metal to en- d
able them to pass the fire lines and to
go on other occasions when it is necessary
to restrain the great multitude, c
So why not congressmen?
Of course, if this idea is adopted the
congressional badge must be Jealously
safeguarded from loss or theft. Embarrassing
as wholly unwarranted as
Bumpnon or ixie uuiieicBsiu>i?t vuwu~ter
may be now, it would be far more
so if a "borrowed" badge enabled an
outsider to pass himself off success- "
fully as a national legislator. This v
happens in other and less exalted circles.
For instance, whenever a fire
alarm sounds in this city the number of v
"newspaper men" present, according to ri
the flashing symbols on coat lapels, far
exceeds the total journalistic population
of the capital.
The indignation felt by the proponent
of this plan of identification is entirely
I Justified. When the heavy hand of the
law descended upon the Maryland club
the other night and gathered in a
greater number of prisoners than the
jail could accommodate certain of those
apprehended begged off on the ground
that they were national legislators. J*
Now, naturally, every member of Congress
feels that he is more or less
under a cloud of suspicion. Of course, r
the wearing of a congressional badge
may have embarrassing consequences.
It may limit the activities of some of p
the members who are perhaps at times
somewhat sportively inclined, but on the
whole it will not be a bad plan.

The Coast Guard. r<
Yesterday's action by the House in g(
passing the coast guard bill insures a ^
change In a most important branch of k
the government that has been long
needed. By this legislation the revenue
cutter and life-saving services will b,
be consolidated and the latter will be y,
placed under the provision for the re- ^
tirement of veterans. The lack of such n,
a superannuation system has militated
against the development of the lifesaving
service. It has indeed been
maintained at a remarkably high state
of efficiency in the absence of means of
insuring adequate provision for the
men who have devoted themselves for
many years to the dangerous work on
the coasts. Now these two organizations,
so obviously identified in their
operations, will be united, to form a
system for the saving of life and propi
erty from the sea second to none in the
world. In this hour of accomplishment
it is in order to pay a tribute of appreciation
for the long, faithful and valuable
services of Sumner I. Kimball,
f t\ r m * 1 r? \re>nr*t tlir. Qiiri<.rin tcnHonf eif
the life-saving corps, through whose
zeal and effective administration it has
been brought to its high pitch of usefulness,
and who has worked unceasingly
for the establishment of a retire- F
ment system now secured through this
legislation. it

The District Court Now Complete, "i
Judge Siddons passes from the Mu- ^
nicipal building to the District Supreme f<
j Court today with the best wishes of the ti
: community. His service as District
Commissioner has been brief but satis- ^
factory, and he enters on his judicial n
career with the hearty good will of the ?
people of Washington. He is thoroughly
a Washingtonian, and in his (j
practice of the law here for years has rr
become fully acquainted with the judicial
procedure and there is no doubt J
of a successful career on the bench. rj
His promotion tft this important post e
I has been gratifying to his friends, who *'
are confident that he will acquit him- ^
self ably in his new responsibility. The u
court is now complete in personnel for it
the first time in a number of months
and in a position to reduce the congestion
of the calendar due to the un- y
usually large number of changes occurring
by death, retirement and resig- n
nation within the past year. f,

Wire Service and Poolrooms.
Representatives of both telegraph
companies assure The Star that their
corporations have no dealings whatever
with poolrooms and refuse to
serve such Institutions us that which
was raided in Maryland Saturday with
messages permitting gambling on the
results of distant races. This is a *
gratifying assurance of "good faith on
the part of these corporations. It appears
that the Maryland club got its
race track information by telephone, the *
phone company having given a contract
for the service without knowledge of
the character of the establishment. J
Now arises the question as to the re- t
ponsibility of the telephone company. j
Is it not possible for it to do as the *
telegraph companies have done and to J
put a ban upon all poolroom patrons? r
It that Is undertaken, whose is to be \
r
he responsibility for ascertaining: the %
iharacter of the subscriber and the use 24
:o which he puts the service? This z
[uestion might well be taken into se- Z
lous consideration by the public util- 5
ty commissions In conjunction with. J
he telephone company itself. Certain!Z
lifflculties of discrimination areappar-j^

The present European war lias made 52
: clear that there is no lack of pa- A
riotism in the world. The men of ZL
very nation, whether still living in the ZL
fatherland'' or sojourning in an S
dopted country, appear to be tre- ^
lendously loyal to the land of their A
>rbears. They seem eager to voice A
le sentiment expressed in the toast A.
rst given by Stephen Decatur almost A
hundred years ago: "Our country?in A
er intercourse with foreign nations A
lay she always be in the right, but A
ur country, right or wrong." The in- A
ependent voter, rather than the in- A
bnsely partisan, is now believed to be ?
he best influence in a democracy. The Zi
lan who votes the party ticket from ?
3p to bottom, no matter what names ?
re on it, needs more light and more
berty of mind. So the "my country, 5
