A beautiful story is to'hl in the 'iiaroest Worker" of a missionary t Pronged with crowds who sought his tent for needed rest giving ord is that be was not to bo disturbed no matter who came. Presrutly he : ; pearcd and said to his attcndenl. 1 te ;do a mistake, if a little child C"!iies, wake me up. This all recalls various articles in ti Rotarian Magazine in an en h avor to make this boys year by launching boys week programs, the world over, and focusing public af loat ion upon the "Boy'' to conserve 1dm as a Nat'on's greatest, asset. Those who stood on Fifth Avenue, last May Day in "Boys Week" and watched triumphant "Young Ameri ca." march by, knew what had been a Rotarian dream was a tremendu cais fact Imagine if you will the world's gicatest thoroughfare, swept, entire ly of traffic: H.OOO policeman lining both sides of the Avenue for a dis tance of four miles: nearly a million people crowded the sidewalks; (50, (;0 boys marching 10 and 20 abreast to the music of o0 ''Boys Bands.'' Down the avenue they swunfj; in thousands of others: making a won derful demonstration of loyalty on May Day to the Country they all lo'ed: and seemed to say to the standing populace "Give us a chance, and whatever you do for us. we will double for your grandchildren. It is this phase of child's work tkat the Rotarian presents in "Boys Week." At first a isugsrestion. then a program on paper then a living ambition and finally a glorious re alization. Our emblem is a Gear Wheal, which signifies cogs. There were seven days in Boy's Week with extensive program. Boy Scouts of troop No 1. will go in Athletics; industry; home: enter tainment; and out. of doors- On they came with scores of other units; bootblacks, office boys, ori ental yojiths, messenger boys., and columns of red white and blue.

April 1-1.- President i U.-ii d.n;'; a lettoc is 1 1 understood to have the capitol urgintr sent that , the nvy's enlisted personnel be not jrrd i:rd to below 8(1,000. The views oi the president were transmitted, it is said, to house members standing' I for an amenrf.merit to inrvcasp tho nnn .irnviycn tiif. n3 v;n i SKHVir.R j h'pri'!;.;fi Id Republican.

I do nc-t under stand that such a statement or such an action impugns anyone's character or calls for charges against the enf p-loyes concerned or demands explan ation by the executive. In the opinion of William Dudley Foulkc, a former member of the civil service commission, the re quirement of law that every person in classified service who'se removal is sought must be informed of the charges against him and given a reasonable opportunity to make ie nly is applicable to the case at hand. Thie president, it will be observed, makes the point that there arc no "charges'" and that none are called for. He reli-os, that is, on his execu tive authority to act arbitrarily and without explanation. "For the good of the service," is. of course, no ex planation. Jt goes without saying that every presidential act is of that sori:. i no president lurtncr ciucioaces "I shall maintain every regard for ? the civil service law, but it a re sponsible executive head may not take such action as is deemed .necessary for the good of the public service then such an inhibition on the powers of the executive ought to be made very clear to congress, to governivjcnt employes and to the American public to which we are ans'vverable. Then the responsibility may no longer be lo'dged with the. executive. Until such understanding is made clear I invite you and oth ers who speak for federal employes to join me in doing the things deem ed ncces'saty to promote the high est possible degree of federal ser vice. But. how are those employes wbo still have their jobs' to "join" the president, as he invites them to do, il they are to be left in the dark as to the nature of the failure that has just been so conspicuously adver tised? And how is the president's action, for which he says be is' an swt arable ,to be judged- by the American public if he insists on the public's' merely taking his word fu? it? While the purpose of the presi dent's course must be assumed to be "for" the good of the service, it is very s'eriously to be questioned whenther what good it may actually aceom.nl ish will not be largely, and unnecessarily, offset by tiie harm that it will do. In effect he tells government employes' that, they en ter the service at the risk ot dis missal by star cnamuer iuiceu.iis, that the only assurance of retention in office is the favorable judge ment of a chief executive whose personal knowledge of work indi vidually performed must be ot tne slightest and whos'e reasons lor keeping his hands off or putting them on must remain locked within his breast. So the mystery remains. The pub lic has' the assurance ot hecret,ary Mellon ,who has jurisdictibn ofcr the bureau affected, that the sweep ing changes were calied for and Gen Dawes is mentioned as having sent the expert upon whos?3 inves tigation the judgement appears to have been arrived at. There stilt seems to be no good reason why that report at least should not be made k'nowm. If the discharged em ployes have done, or left undone, nothing which ought properly to be "charged" against them, curiosity persists as to what is true matter. Were they unsystematic or inaccur ate, or too slow', that is, were they inefficient? Or were they in some way out of sympathy with adminis tration policies to a degree menac ing to the smooth working of the government's business? Silence is still the answer, and if a sinister interpretation is put unon it who is to blame ?. 0 .

As to the tax program the gover nor calls attention to the fact tnat the state could do nothing more iol the people unless it gave them a bonus, as some. has suggested.

It has lifted the burden o taxation on nro'pertv so far as state purposes is concerned and is getting all of its revenues from incomes, inheritances license and franchise taxes. The tax es most complained of are the spec ial taxes the people have -"voted on themselves. The legislaturve pro vided that counties must levy as mu'-h as 39 cents for the six months school before they could participate in the equalization fund, and many of the counties have not had to levy that amount, The governor does not believe the most hearty of his political oppon ents in the-nrimary two summers ago would fail to endorse there cord the administration has made since the last election- He does not anticf nntn ihat there will be any great amount of tax kicking at the demo cratic state convention.

A story of a gang of safc-biowers working with the aid of a girl stenographer used as a scout today was obtained by de tectives investigating a raid on office buildings last night in which nearly $75,000 worth of cash and securities was taken by the gang. The police claimed to have ob tained the story from George Breck enridge, a watchman, who was found bound and gagged. Accord ing to the detectives, Breckenridgia confessed to .being a party to the robberies, .although he denied know ing any oi their names. The superintendent of the building stated that Breckenridge, a member jf the police reserves, had received his job as watchman on the strength of a letter written on police sta tionery and purported to have been signed by Capt. Wall of the East side station. The police asserted that Brecken . idge unfolded a plot for the looting of offices in which the girl, a sweetheart of one of the men, played in important role. THe girl would obtain employment at an office, gather information and then resign. Then she would turn her infor mation over to her lover, accortung to the police, sharing in the loot of; the gang. ly the Associate 1 Press Norfolk, Va., April 14.
