Tuttle, United Kiates Attorney for the Southern District, deplored the lark of a sense of obliration in members of the Ear, as evidenced at the nnibulanee-ehasimf trials. He spoke on "Good Fellowship Government Lawyers" at a Vneetiti'j held in old Post Ollice BillWInrj, Park How, Manhattan. "This country needs greater public service," Mr. Tuttle declared, "not only in Its public ollieials, but in its citizens as well. The ambulance-chasiiiR inquiry, which I attended this alternoon, showed how sadly lacking in an appreciation of their obligations many members of the Bar are.

Their hand is against everv man their clients, the ideals of the Bar and the Kood of the whole community. We think too much these days of liberty in terms of personal privilege, rather than responsibility." Tho speaker suggested that, by forming associations and meeting together, lawyers of the Federal service might be able tn eliminate the red tape which interferes with Rood Judicial service. lie also stressed the need for more Federal judges. Henry W. Heer.

president of the association, presided at the meeting and introduced Mr. Tuttle. DLDLX'TION. Inspector That new man will never make a detective. Chief How Is that? Inspector There was a 50-pnund box of soap stolen from a railroad car, and he arrested a tramp.

Surely, a business that was run with the laxity, the carelessness and the wastefulness, to say nothirr; of the concurrent trickery with which most great cities and States are run, would very shortly curl up, clutch a lily and po away from here. Invariably does this department experience pretty nearly all the anguish in the world when It is forced to venture into a public department lar anything what-so-ever. Getting a dog is a matter of infinite patience, total callousness and Hocks of abuse; securing a copy of a birth certificate is half a day's work half a day spent in uncomfortable, shabby iurroundinRS, where tobacco juice flows copiously; where service is patronizing to the extreme, and where you get what you've come for only after current topics have been discussed to within an inch of their lives. If.

as sometimes happens, you get weary of shifting from one foot to another, and bark ai-ain. and you should even suest that a little attention wouldn't discommode you anv, well, we suggest that you simply pick out a soft corner and curl up and die. Humorously enough, you get your birth certificate from the Board of Health, which is probably tiie most ramshackle, the grimiest and the tinkempt-est building in town. Too, traffic courts are horribly shabbv places, so monarchists that you are frequently given to speculate as to whether or not the surly clerks, the swaggering attendants and the bullying "officials ever consider that the folks that they spend their wakini hours belaboring are the folks whose taxes pav their salaries. Of course, city employees are poorly paid.

The permanence and impenetrability of their jobs seems to make up for the deficit In their salaries. The feeling of security and the evident ability to peel off a few pesos on the side makes up for a lot. "Publix Service" isn't a concern of Public Office. Arriving hpre from abroad, anv dyed-in-the-wool New Yorker can tell when he lands in New York Harbor, with hi3 eyes blindfolded and his hands tied benmd him. The barking and bullying of the immigration authorities are dead giveaways.

The same traveler who has skittered through Europe like a gentleman, crinees before the poor, weazened, underpaid albeit self-important shrimp who greet him so cordiallv with a "Where the hell do vou think vou are?" as the Statue of Liberty fades away over his shoulder As one who has been sent around the block two and even three time, In a taxi whose meter functions right along, merely to satisfy the whim of traffln mn the nieasure beinc his and the expense ours, we're all for starting a "Courtesy in Public I Office" week. P.isht row, the policy to be one of "Take it and like i It!" Unfortunately, we've never been able to work our enthusiasm up De-yond the "take it" stage. It is true, however, that gentlemen who couldn't land clerk's jobs in private businesses, hold down bosses' Jobs with the State. We don't know why, and it's altogether too hot to bother finding out about It now. THE MORNING'S U'AIL.
