Learned His Lesson.

The son Of Commissioner Raum
seems 10 have been showing the fruits If
the political and official training TO which
he has been subjected. The scandaous
performances which have led To his enforced
resignation of the Office Of assistant chief
clerk in the Pension Bureau are merely an
impudent and inludicious application Of
the principles of spoils politics. If ap-
pointments 10 office NAV be disposed of 10
pay for political service why not in return
for money payments; Securing a promo
ton by having the applicant petsonated by
another at the civil service examination
Is only a grosser form Of evasion of the re-
quirements Of the law, such as has often
been attempted in a mere diplomatic way bv
unscrupulous politicians. Divertine small
sums OF public money to private use is a more
radical departure from the customary methods.
but 1t Is not different in essestial principle
from the practice, which has been dignifed AZ
policy" of using public funds for private
profit in various ways without any return in
public service or benefit. Young Raum was
too direct IN his method Of applying the prin-
ciples OF his political teachers, and so got into
trouble.
