One Way Traffic.
Inasmuch as nothing has been done
about the widening of Washington
street. it seems pertinent to again call
attention to the suggestion made in
the Sentinel some days ago. \Ve re-
fer to the one-way traffic plan. It
is by no means a permanent
solution of this problem. but. at least.
it is something that coull be tried in
a. very short time.
There has been considerable opposi—
tion to the one-way traffic idea. but
it is reasonable to believe that even
the dlssentcrs would be quite willing
to try the experiment for a short time.
It seems impossible to arouse the
public to the truth about street; con-
gestion and the menace it presents.
Let us hopp that it will not be nec-
essary for the city to be visited by n
serious conflagratlon before this very
.grave matter is given proper atten-
tion.
Public Services.
It is a matter of general belief that
the work donu for Federal. State and
municipal governments is usually less
eliclent than what is done on private
enterprises. The languid ways of
many gangs of workmen employed on
public jobs in the Norwalks has often
been commented upon.
Yet there are many government
functions in which people work hard.
People who know the life of tho
clerks employed at “'ashington say
that they are misrepresented. that
they do work hard for small pay.
Postal clerks and carriers generally
appear like a busy class of people
who are putting in good days‘ works. i
What. then. is the reason why the
results secured in public services are
commonly considered unsatisfactory?
Probably it is because there has not 1
been in the past any adequate system
for rewarding initiative and intelli-
gence. If a man of exceptional gifts
t°°k a lob in one of the Federal de-
partments. and thought out methods
by which that function could be sim-
plified and made less costly, what has
been the result in past years? Prob-
upon. Even if they were all adopted.
it is doubtful if he would get adequate
recognition. Somebody's political
friends might be advanced ahead 0
him. ‘
Public sentiment has always favor-
ed low salaries in Government work. "It is your time now," or «Hope you
luvs a good; time."
A man of superior emciency might
think out economies that would save
it you attempted to pay that man half
what he could earn in a private busi-
ness. there would be a howl at once.
Naturally men of that type usually
prefer to work for private corpora.
tions.
Probably there always will be more
or less politics in administering Gov-
ernment positions. But. at least. a
great deal could be done in Federal.
State and municipal services. by mak-
ing a special effort to see that men of
emclency and brains got promotions
to which they are entitled.

Attention is called to the unique
contest which is now being run by the
Evening Sentinel. Daily prizes or 85
are offered to the person submitting
the cleverest answer to a given ques-
tion. the answer to be limited to 25 or
less words.
One does not need to have any es-

itself is the important thing. Why
not have a little question party at
