TIE republicans viii never agree 10 it

but the plan OF electing postmasters and
other officers directly connected with
the people has many reasons 70 recon-
mend it, in addition to those given by
the Louisville Times below. 1t would
always secure the most popular and ac-
ceptable men to those most interested
and insure the political party predomi-
mating in locality the offices that should
belong to it. The plan has been tried at
a number Of places during the last -four
years and worked well. The Times
says: The United States has 81 1910 post
offices and all pOstmasters should be
elected by the people OF the yicinage.
This would give the President more
time to think about craftsmanship, and
require less OF his time for politics, be-
sides, We would haye mQse purity and
independence in the Federal AdmInis.
tr alton and or National contests would
Be less embitterei. The chosing OF post
masters, district attorneys, United states
marshas and collectors oil internal rev
enue by the people direct would be the
very best civil service reform ever in.

MATES continue very much mixed
in West Nirginiaa The Senate. which
stands Is democrats to Is republicans,
remains unorganized and the struggle
seems no nearer the end than at the
start. The republicans are vainly en-
deavoring TO wrench from the democrats
the State, which was born OF political
rape upon fair old Virginia during the
war. The results were as disappoint-
ing as the act was reprehensible and the
new State soon proved as democratic as
her outraged mother. The republicans
think they have il at last but il they
secure il, il will only be by the most di-
aboljcal frauds. The truggleinyolves the.
choice OF a governor, the selection of a
United states Senator, and, incidentally,
Misrepresentation OF two Congressional

Jackson. The sentiment was pretty
strong for it ID or - yenrs ago, but as it
is solidly democratic it is not likely TO
become State soon. That's not the
kind OF States the republicans are after
making.

SECRETARY OF WAR, TRACY, in dis
cussing the recommendation of the
commission to select a site for the
proposed new Pacific coast navy yard,
says: The department, in presenting
the report, is not satisfied as to the
finality of its conclusions. Upon the
military problem involved some diff
ference of opinion exists among ex-
perts, and it is doubtful whether the
strategic side OF the question has not
been considered too much at the ex-
pense Of the industrial On the other
hand, the department is not sufficiently
advised as to the proposed canal to
make any recommendations in refer
ence to it. If, as would seem to be
case, it will be largely used for COM
mercial purposes, and thus be of great
benefit to the city OF Seattle, the cost
of its construction should not be
borne wholly by the general govern
ment. In any case, the department
cannot recommend that the canal
should be built solely for the benefit
of possible navy yard on the lake"

SAYS a Washington dispatch: The
Oregon and Washington members
have been trying to fix up committee
matters between them satisfactorily,
and both are agreed not to get in the
others way. Hermann wants to go
on the river and harbor committee,
and Wilson is anxious that he should
have the place. Hermann does not
think that he will secure such prom
inent place, and will make aneffort to
get on the commerce committee. If
he should get the other place, Wilson
will try to secure the commerce place,
and in case of failure will try to get
on the public buildings committee.
Hermann viii be on one or the other
of the first named committees, but it
is not at all certain that Wilson can
get either of the places to which he
aspires. The entire new state delega-
ton would prefer to have Wilson on
rivers and harbors rather than Her.
mann, but that is out of the question.
