SHOULD BE RE-APPOINTED.

The Office of Secretary of the
Territory is one of the most re-
sponsible in the Territory and
while it is a Federal appointment
and the appointee owes nothing to
the people of the Territory for his
appointment nor is he answerable
to them for his actions, yet as a
rule the appointing power is will
ing to make an appointment that
would be acceptable to the people.
Hon. Chas. Fl. Akers, the pres
ent incumbent Of the Secretary's
Office, is one among the Federal ap-
pointees, who has given universal
satisfaction to the people of the
Territory, and his re-appointment
would also give universal satlsfac-
ton.
Mr.. Akers is steadfast Repub.
lican and probably the first public
man in the Territory to come out
squarely for, and stand by McKin'
ley, and today he is probably the
strongest and most popular man in
his party in the Territory.
His politics is the only thing the
GUARDIAN has against Mr.. Akers
We are constitutionally opposed tc
Republicans holding Office at all
but when we must have them, it i;
better to have one who is capable
and is endorsed by the people, il
respective of politics. In his ap
pointments no higher tribute coult
be paid the Territory by the Presi
dent than the re-appointment o

LAND grabbing continues in
fashion among the great nations.
Great Britain has grabbed the
South African republics; Russia
grabs Manchuria; Great Britain is
not in a position to make a cor
responding grab in that neighbor-
hood, so she picks up few islands
in the Read Sea, just to keep her
hand in. The Sultan objects, but
nobody minds him. Our own be-
loved republic has been doing
pretty well in the land grabbing
business and cannot find fault with
the exploits of others. Hawaii,
the Philippines, Guam, Porto Rico
Cuba next. We are quite in the
fashion. 1t is the good old rule,
the simple plan, that they shall
take who have the power and they
shall keep who can. Germany and
France have made their little
grabs in Asia and are hoping fol-
more japan would very much
like a slice, but is doubtful of be-
ing allowed to keep it. If only
we had kept out of the scramble
we might do something for the pro
lection Of nations. But that op
portunity has gone.

No Ohio man was ever known
to dodge a chance to appear in
public or to get his name in the
papers. The Ohio women appear
to be more modest. Governor
Nash has been trying for some
time to find a prominent Ohio
woman to break the traditional
bottle of champaign over the prov
of the battleship Ohio when the
ceremony of launching comes off,
and with such ill success us to sug
gest the possibility that conscrip-
ton may have to be resorteds to.
Miss Hanna has declined the hon
or, likewise, Grace Mckinley and
Senator Forker's daughters, and
now all the daughters of Ohio are
preparing to decline because they
weren't asked IN the first place.
The perplexity of the Ohio Gov
ernor is doubtless very great, but
if worst comes to worst rather
than permit the Ohio to be launch
ed without name, he might do
the christening act himself. The
law requiring this act to be per-
formed by woman is an unwrit-
ten one. The outside world can
not help wondering, however, why
the Ohio women should offer such
a striking contrast to the men in
their unwillingness to perform q
public duty.

Baltimore, Md, Nov. S.-Returns re-

partly official and partly estimated, in
dictate a result in the legislative con-
test which is almost without parallel
in Maryland. The most careful estl-
mates and calculations give the DEM
ocrats forty-six delegates and seven
newly elected senators, which, COM
bined with the ten who hold over In
the senate, assures the friends OF Cor
man a total of So on joint ballot. The
republicans, it appears, have elected
forty-nine delegates and six senators,
which, added to their three hold-ovsr
senators, gives then a total OF 90 on
joint ballot. These figures indicate
that the republicans will be able to or
ganize the house of delegates, and may
unseat sufficient democrats in the
lower branch, substituting for them
members of their own party, In order
to procure a majority on joint ballot.
Democratic leaders freely assert that
this is the intention of the republicans,
and do not hesitate to say that they
will use every means in their power to
prevent such a step.
