POLITICAL HONESTY.
William Allen White Makes n Plea for
American Politics.

In the preface of his new book, Strata
gems and Spells. Stories of Love and
Politics." William Allen White, the Kansas
editor. politician and writer. embodies a
vigorous defense OF American political hon
esty. From so experienced an authority
it comes with peculiar force and seems TO
have a special interest at this time. He
says:
but to come to politics: There is much
scandalous talk by scantily informed people
about the corruption of politics. The truth
of the matter is that politicians are ABOUT
as honest in their business as storekeepers
are in their business, or lawyers are III
their business, or bankers, or preachers, or
day labOrers. or farmers, or college probes
sors are in their own callings.
"Of course. politicians are not so nonest
as lawyers imagine they would be III they
were preachers, nor as preachers fancy
they would be IL they were storekeeperS,
nor as storekeepers believe they would DC
as lawyers.
But in the main the business or profes-
sional man has no reason to despise the
politician, for the politician does not lie
6uplicity (Which is the standard in other
vocatlons) He does not take brides except
IN ignorance-as the business man and the
farmer and the preacher do every day OF
their lives. And the politician, above all,
does not admire the cheat and the de-
ceiver.
The political ideals Of the average ward
caucus are as high as the ideals in most
other gatherings. The brave man, who wins
by raw courage and shrewd directness and
simple honesty, is honored as sincerely and
is as successful in politics to-day as he is in
any other branch OF human endeavor how
ever exalted it's criterion. The county con-
vention of Douglas county, Kansas, or OF
Kings county, New York, is operated on a
moral plane about as high as the faculty
politics of the average university or as that
of the church politics of the various re-
ligious organizations.
I'm the business of politics we are all
partners. The concern reflects the American
average. The man who does not participate
in the partnership-who refuses to vote
merely drags down the average for an hon
est negro or an active Polak or a capable
Irish emigrant TO elevate"

WISE CHANGES IN THE NAVY.
HeaIthful Influence of Giving Enlisted
Men a Chance for Promotion.


Providence Journal.
The recent promotion of two warrant
officers in our navy to the rank OF ensign
marks a departure in that branch of serv-
ice, or rather, perhaps. a return to earlier
customs. In the United States army the
practice of promoting men from the ranks
for merit has always prevailed, and there
is no good reason why similar chances
should not be given TO the bluejackets Of
the navy when they are able to pass the
Annapolis. For long time officers of the
navy have complained OF the difficulty of
securing good class of men as recruits
from among native-born citizens But this
IS not surprising in the face of the fact
that the grade of warrant officer was the
highest TO which enlisted man could
possess or what might be the length of his
service. Such a state Of affairs would
naturally deter many young man with
taste for sea life from entering a career
in which ambition must be laid aside. and
when, by the very putting on of uniform.
he would confess to his friends and
acquaintance that he had resigned all
desire to rise and had consented to always
occupy a subordinate position.
Now, however, this is all changed and a
foremost hand by paying strict attention
TO duty, studying hard and leading a cor
rect life, may find himself in line Of pro-
motion to the highest rank.
1t has been objected that enlisted men
have not the social advantages enjoyed by
the cadets of the Naval Academy and that
any such who might receive commissions
would stand on a different plane and might
be found wanting in situations requiring
tact and delicacy of handling. But this OBJ
lection needs little attention. Men of ability
make their way even If their manners may
be a little rough and not equal to those of
the young man who is most at home at
young ladies' afternoon teas. perfect
comprehension of the fact that the officers
of the United States navy understand their
business will count much more with the
representatives of foreign powers than any
suavity of manner.
