1t might be wise thing for the Presi-
dent TO do TO define very clearly what he
means by ''perncious activity" OF office
hold rs In politics. He removed Mr.. NJ.
E. Benton, the United States District At
torney for the Western district of Mis-
souri,, for making political speeches, and
has reinstated him because MIR Benton
insisted that in making political speeches
he did not neglect any of his official
duties. 1t is doubtless true that Benton
did not neglect his official duties to any
marked extent, but it Will hardly be de-
MED that the position which he occupies
lent Importance, in the eyes OF many, to
his political utterances.
Notwithstanding the fact that the Presi-
dents letter to Mr.. Benton makes dis
cernible distinction between activity and
"pernicious activity" in politics on the
part OF odiceholders, the President will
be charged with having taken step back
ward in the Benton case. He takes the
ground that he was misinformed respect
ing the extent of Mr.. Benton's offending.
but 1t would seem as if he ought TO have
been sure that he had all the facts before
suhJecting the alleged of ,nder to the hu-
mutation OF suspension. 1t does not
appear that Mr.. Benton was given
chance to be heard in his own behalf.
Only the story of those who want Benton
removed was heard. This was certainly
not fair to Mr.. Benton and his friends un-
less the President was thoroughly salts
fed that Mr.. Benton had become a per-
nlciously active political worker, and if
he were satisfied it is difficult to see how
he could have reversed his action on Mr..
b ntcn's statement alone.
Ii is alleged, with how much truth it is
impossible TO say, that the course of Post
Master General Villas, in making a polit-
ical speech at Madison, Wis, during the
campaign forced the President to con-
strue his order respecting the activity of
otficeholders in politics 80 literally that
it was not possible to punish Mr.. Benton
Tor making political speeches without
being inconsistent. The Missouri Sena-
tors, it is claimed, declared that they
would resist the confirmation of sue
cessor to Mr.. Benton on the ground that
he was no more active in politics than
the Postmaster General was, and should
not he removed unless that Cabinet off,
Ger was asked to resign. This, of course,
would have brought about rather un.
pleasant condition of affairs, which it
was deemed best to avoid.
In view of the fact that ufficeholders in
different parts OF the country will con-
tinue to NEEDLE in politics it would BE-
source of satisfaction to them to know
exactly to what extent they can medule.
BY making this point clear the President
will save himself much annoyance and
relieve the otficeholders of much uncer-
taintY.

DIR. McCosh Explains.

Dr. McNosh the President of Princeton
College, who left the Harvard celebration
because he thought there was studi d
attempt to insult his college by the Har-
ward people, and also by DR.. Holmes, the
poet OF the celebration, has published a
statement in which he says that he was
mistaken about the ALLEGED offensive lines
in DR.. Holmes poem, but insists that
Harvard College did not do the proper
thing with regard to Princeton. With
respect to this latter point he saws
in his statement: II have to &C.
knowledge the favors shown bv Harvard
College to me personally in the matter
of degree, and could expect nothing
further. But the fact remains that on the
occasion Of an important anniversary the
good will shown TO other institutions all
about us was withheld from Princeton,
which l was invited TO represent. / &C
knowledge that Harvard had a right to
bestow its donors where it chose, but,
surrounded as / am by body OF profess
sors carrying on original research and
printing their results for the public in
bonks and periodicals., l thought 1t strange
that no notice was taken OF our college.
| still feel that l had the same right to
give expression to my feelings of indig-
nation as Harvard had to withhold the
recognition she gave to others"
Princeton was generously patrorized
by the South before the war, and the
institution still holds strong place in
the affections OF Southern men. The dis
position Of DIR. McCOsh. therefore, to re.
sent any attempt, however SLIGHT, to
ignore Princeton's claims to recognition
will be appreciated in this section OF
the country. Princeton is one of the
Oldest. wealthiest and most prosperous
institutions of learning OF the country.
and If it does not rank in Importance
with Harvard and Yale it ranks next to
them.
