Sun, for one hundred and five years.a Democratic newspaper, commenting upon an incident at the $100-a-plate Jackson Day dinner addressed by the President. ) The Jackson Day dinner in Washington was one of those occasions on which an unexpected incident overshadows the scheduled feature. Mr: Roosevelt’s speech was, of course, the scheduled feature. He was in half-humorous, half-philosophical vein. His underlying theme was that motives of public men are all important, but, after elaboration of that theme, he added that information, expereence, and good manners also are important. It was a good enough sort of speech. rather vague, rather abstract, not too profound, not too clever. It left some of the political analysts thinking it)was a Presidential valedictory, some thinking it was a Presidéntial bid for a third term, some thinking it was a Presidential hedge. It might have been any of these. and, therefore, it is not strange that an in.eident of the dinner overshadows it’ in importance. Mr. Essary writes in his report of the dinner that an embarrassment occurred at the beginning of the formal part of the program. Distinguished guests, seated at the head table. were introduced to the great gathering. Among them was Senator Hatch, of New Mexico, who sponsored the law which undertakes to restrict the political activities of officials and employees of the Federal Government. =Mr. Essary says that when Senator Hatch was presented: “A veritable storm of boos greeted him as he rose. It continued for what seemed to be minutes. The officeholders restricted in their political activities by the Hatch Act finally were diverted by calling the name of Secretary Hull.”’ In that incident is a subject which deserves far more attention from the thoughtful citizen than speculations about the political significance of a speech Which is open to three different interpretations by Washington's analysts. When Mr. Roosevelt assumed office the Federal Government had 563,487 civil officials and employees. On November 30 last—after Mr. Roosevelt had been in office 6 years and 9 months—the Federal Government had 932,654 civil officials and employees. The increase during Mr. Roosevelt's administration thus far has been 369,167, or a shade less than 66 per cent. Many of the top men whom Mr. Roosevelt has appointed, to old posts and to new posts, were at this dinner in Washington. The charge for the dinner was $100-a plate. and only top men could afford that price. And it was these top men who attempted the humiliation of Senator Hatch because he had undertaken to restrict their political activities. It was ;these top men who sought publicity to humiliate a Senator because he had practiced Mr. Roosevelt’s preachment at this very dinner on the “‘relative unimportance”’ of politics ‘‘compared with the paramount importance of gavernment.” No sober citizen can ignore this demonstration when considering the third-term issue, which Mr. Roosevelt avoided. The essence of the tradition against the third term lies in fear that the vast powers of the Presidential office will be abused if continued too long in the hands of one man. That was the fear which governer when Jefferson followed the example of Washington and when his lieutenants and successors, ;Madison and Monroe, followed his example and made the tradi~ tion secure for generations. For many years past the serious danger of abuse of the powers of the Presidential office kas been in manipulation of the army of officeholders. In our day the danger is the greater because this army' is enormously increased and now, under the President, controls billions in subsidies and makes regulations which have_ the force_of laws. And yesterday we saw the top men in this army attempting publicly to humiliate a Senator who would limit their political activities. The incident was in itself shameful. Mr. Roosevelt, talking later about good manners as one of the valuable elements in public life, might well have made the incident an object lesson. But above all is the revelation that has been given of the quality and temper of the top men in this army of officeholders which Mr. Roosevelt in less than seven years has increased 66 per cent, from 563,487 to 932,654. There, in that revelation of quality and temper, is a shining nugget of fact for the sober citizen to consider when the continued validity of the third term tradition is debated before him. This army of job holders will obey a political commander-in-chief. in anything. CAR HITS BRIDGE RAIL some damage.
