While the Mugwump organs are quietly
shutting their eyes TO avoid beholdlng the
broad force Of reform" and are still
praising the President for things promised
and not for things performed, the New
York World speaks out boldly aud plainly,
giving facts as It finds them. Referring to
the Presidents order against the activity of
ofliceholders in politics the U'orld says
that as it "has never been either respected
or enforced it cannot rightly be said to
have fallen into q state of harmless dsuse.
But the latest explanations of Its scope and
intent reduce it to ielly-fsh consistency
that renders 1t wholly imperative"
These "last explanations are, In effect,
that public officials or employees may take
the party stump, though the famous order
reminds them that "their time and labor
are due to the government They may be
delegates to nominating conventions, "pro-
vided they conduct themselves with de.
corum and do not make their Office prom
inent,n though the order pronounces the
use Of their offices to secure their election
as "indecent and unfair" And so long as
they act in politics as "mere citizens" they
are all right.
The World says Of all this that
1t is very simple. The official Mr.. Hydes
must not be Dr. Jekylls in politics, but can ply
their ayOcation as "mere citizens" to their
hearts content, The discussion of the ques-
ton as TO whether the President is looking for
