MAKE THE RRFoaM THOROUGH

In less than three months the chief
Office of the nation will be occupied by
new man. He will Immediately appoint
new men to take charge u the seven
great departments of government. The
state department; the war department
the navy department; the department OF
justice; the treasury; the general post
office, and the department of the interior.
The president and his Official advisers
will not only be new men, bat they are
opposed in party and in principle to the
men whose chairs and portfolios they will
take, opposed to the party and the prin>
ciples that have held the government with
a grasp of iron for twenty-five years. No
voice is raised against the presidents Sc
lection of his immediate assistants from
among his friends, from those " no are
in accord with his views, and with the
political sentiment which made him pres
ident. But when it is opposed to go still
further and appoint clerks and bureau
officers who are in accord with the incom.
ing president and cabinet, Ten thousand
pens leap from their ink bottles and write
the refrain Civil Service Reform" with
variations. With great respect for these
enthusiasts and doctrinlires they do not
know what is needed.
There is precisely the same reason for
appointing new men aud women through
out the departments that there is for ap>
pointing new cabinet or heads for the
departments, and every practical man
knows it. 1t is Indispensable that presi-
dent shall have n corps of assistants in
accord with him, and it is just as ncCes-
sary that his cabinet officers shall have a
corps of assistants in accord With them.
\ democratic president has been elected
with view to change in the internal
policy and methods Of the government.
Methods cannot be changed without
changing men. Anyone knowing The per
sonnet OF the civil service here will realls
how utterly Impossible it viii be for the
new administration 10 navigate the ship
OF state, which il has just captured, with
the samc,pratical. Grew
Civlfservice reform means. if it means
anything, a reform Of. the civil servants.
Those who are in office were never ap,
pointed for fitness, and theya have been
debauched and demoralized by wallow
of thenty years III. the most corrupt
ing, slatternly unsystematic and dishon-
est business establishment that the sun OF
heaven ever shone upon. Those men and
women do not know how to work and
they are too old to be taught. They have
contracted habits, bases, and mora
strabism that not only unfit sthem fol
usefulness, but makes their presence ;
cOntagion and menace.
The same reasons that existed for {
change Of president exist also for {
change in the Instruments through which
Ire must administer the government, II,
would not be considered wise genera
who would go to war with few traitors
ia his ranks but what would be the fatu
ity OF the general who would give battl
with an army made up of his deadlics
enemies? He would be shot in the back
and he would deserve his fate.

Hartford, Conn, Dec 22.-Under Con-
necticuts liquor law each town enjoys local
option and may b. a majority vote prohibit
Iiquor-selling within its limits a
case involving an important question under
this law was decided La Rockville,
whose inhabitants have voted prohibition.
DR.. Walsh gave a prescription for half a
pint Of gin, Dr. Hebor Townsend, drug
gist, filed it, and some zine later sold IN
other half pint on the same prescription
Therrup1n he was arrested. He adj
mitted the facts, and pleaded that he
could not refuse to recognize the
prescription Of regular physician, nor re
fuse to repeat filing it, According to local
practice with prescriptions generally, the pre-
scription once filed becomes the sole property
of the druggist, and should not be filed q
second time. The trial justice consulted a
superior court Judge and dismissed the case.
This decision appears 20 e5ta blish the prin
ciple that druggist may fill a single liquor
prescription as often as he chooses, and the
effect of this would be to practically defeat
prohibition in the fifty or more prohibition
towns in Connecticut.
