PRESIDENT HARRisoN,s VIEWS.

The Washington correspondent of
the New York San gives two brief ex-
pressions of the President, which should
have the widest circulation. They con
tain information of value TO office.
seekers. Says the correspondent;
The President is causing good deal of an
noyance and chagrin among the politicians
here by his candor In describing the kind OF
men he wants and the kind Of men he don't
want to appoint TO office. He Is listening at
tentively TO what the office seekers say, but
is all the time looking over their heads
among the people. To delegation who pre-
sented the name Of candidate for office, and
nrged his appointment on account of his pow
erty, the President said, quite sternly:
You must not come here 10 ask me TO make
an appointment for any such reason. can
not give an Office to this man simply because
he Is poor While | sympathize with him
deeply, and know what II is 10 be poor my
self and while have seen the time when
would have liked any office that had a good
salary attached to II, | do not think II Is
proper 10 use such arguments 10 secure ap-
pointments In the public service"
Another delegation went 10 him TO urge the
appointment Of broken-down politician
who had been an excellent man in his time,
and of great service 10 the party. After list.
ening TO the recital OF the biography Of the
candidate, the President replied
~ know this man very we'll. have known
of him since long before the war, ever since
have been reading newspapers, and recog
nlze the value of his services In the past, but
! cannot appoint him TO this office. The man
appoint to this Office will not be selected for
what he has done, but for what he can do.
IL place which needs an active, energetic,
able young man, and we must find some other
asylum for our old friend"
That is the sort Of talk sensible peo-
pie want from the President of the
United States. 1t is not indicative of
lack Of regard for party 1t is not in
justice TO any one; it is common sense,
II shows a sense Of responsibility and a
proper regard for the rights of Ike
whole people.

CANADA,s NEW pRoBIENr.

What promises to be a new departure
in Canadian politics is impending, and
this departure, unfortunately, is of a
nature which means political war of the
most bitter kind since 1t is religious.
The Province of Quebec is largely
Roman Catholic Tho Quebec Leyis-
lature has passed an act, known as "The
Jesuits act" which is favorable to
Roman Catholics as against Protestants,
and storm appears brewing. The
Toronto Globe, the leading Liberal
organ of the Dominion, has come out
In a strong article declaring the act un-
constitutional, and so deep feeling has
been aroused that party lines in Canada
may change. Up to a recent date the
Liberals refused to have anything to do
with this agitation, but now all is
changed.
Tie situation in the Canadian Parlia.
ment Is thus put by a correspondent:
Out of the ninety or one hundred Lib
eral members of the House OF Com
mons, about thirty are French Can.
adams who are Reds, Nationalist AMI
Roman Catholics. OF the remaining
sixty several are Roman Catholics of
Irish origin. The adoption of the
Orange agitation against the Jesuits
would therefore mean the destruction of
the Opposition as a political party in
Canada. The Conservatives are about
1870 strong In the Commons, by the help
of French Canadian Blues, who are to
Quebec what the Tories are to the
Dominion at large. The Tory element
of the party is overwhelmingly Protes
tant, and within its ranks are TO be
found the only 0rangcmen who sit in
Parliament They are not numerous
enough, however, If they withdrew from
the party in body and went over to
the Liberals In division, to defeat the
Government. unless in doing so they
could carry with them half O dozen or
more fellow Protestant Conservatives of

fronted with A resolution which will

if this is done.
Not much sympathy will be wasted
on the Canadian premier in this emer.
gency. If any Canadian Legislature is
claimed to have passed an unconstitu.
tional act, the issue cannot he met too
soon nor too vigorously. and neither
Protestant nor Roman Catholic should
seek to avoid consideration of the mat
ter. 1t is only to be regretted that the
contest has its religious phase. Re-
ligion and politics do not mix well in
