SHOWING HIS CLOVEN FOOT.

With all his make-believe sincerity of
purpose in attempting TO enforce the
civil service law, the president knocks
the principle of that requirement into
smithereens when it stands in the way of
his personal wishes and desires. This
has been demonstrated on more than one
occasion of late. 1t Is but a short time
since the postmaster at Kansas City,
whose record with the department stood
sans reproche, was unceremoniously
bounced in order to make room for an
other, and now as sort of cap to the
climax Judge Edgarton, a member of
the civil service commission, is premp-
torily removed, according to the
dispatches, without SO much as request
for his resignation or reason
for his decapitation. The prompting for
such arbitrary and seemingly unwar-
ranted actions on the part of the presi-
dent, on the very eve of retiring from
office himself, can only be surmised. 1t
Is stated that large number of appoint
ments, probably as many as two hun

upon, and whether his excellency meant
these two actions named, particularly the
last one, as a sort of left-handed lick at
the senate, or to render imperative the
civil service law in order that wholesale
changes may be made in the various de-
partments during the remaining three
weeks of his administration, or yet to
embarrass if possible and as far as pos
Sible his successor is not clear, but
perhaps all three and still other equally
reasons prompted him. Never
theless, in the language of one of our
martyred presidents, in part, God reigns,
and the government at Washington will

The memorial addressed to the United
States senate by the legislative assembly
of Cimarron territory or the Neutral
Strip, which appears in our telegraphic
columns this morning, contains what
seems to us an irresistible argument in
favor of the immediate passage of the
pending measure known as the Okla
homa bin by that body and its prompt
approval by the president. The facts
set out are not mere heresay, but state
ment in brief of the situation there,
viewed from the standpoint of personal,
everyday experience, and as such the
paper con1mends itself to the earnest
yet prompt consideration Of the body
addressed.

A good deal of nonsense is being in
dulged in just now over the meaning of
the Monroe doctrine, and it is surprising
to see even intelligent papers engaged in
an earnest endeavor to bring the Samoan
islands and "the whole western hemis-
phere" within its scope. The Monroe
doctrine has the distinction of being one
of the most talked of and least understood
of political utterances, but it would not
take ten minutes reading of the encyclo-
pedia to reveal the fact that it was never
intended to have application outside of
the American continents, and binds us
to no sort of action within them.

average of $50. During the seventy DAYS
that the factory was in operation 1000
tons of beets were crushed. and I. $40

of experimenting thus far, it is probable
that the beet crop may develop into as
