Mexico Is Becoming Americanized.
Tyya Shinptcn Past

"There is one thing said DIR. Charles
Amezcua of the City of Mexico, that
probably a great many of your readers
do not know, and that is how ra pidly
the republic of Mexico is becoming
Americanized. Our people know Ct the
tremendous progress of our great sister
across the Rio Grantle, and, while they
realize that there is yet an enormous
gulf that separates the one from the
other still the United States is ever an
inspiration and an incentive. We re-
joice in seeing the United States taking
precedence of the Old World mon
arches, and do not doubt it will eclipse
them all.
With such an object lesson before
us, it is no wonder that Mexico is like
wise making rapid strides along the
road that leads to national grea tness.
The country Is awake, wide awake, and
everybody seems imbued with the idea
of glorious destiny. We are praying,
also, that General loiaz may have his
life prolonged for at least ten more
years, because he is really the one great
factor in our advancement, and as long
as he lives no one fears but that all will
so we'll with our country"

A REPUBLICAN, VICTORY.

Elections were held Tuesday in for
ty-two states, Maine and Vermont hav-
Ing previously cast their ballots. In
twenty-five states governors and other
officers were chosen; in eleven, minor
state officers and congressman were
selected, and in nine congressman
only. The fates of about twenty five
United States senators were deter
mined by results
While it is a little early to speak with
definiteness, it is evident that the re-
publicans rallied in sufficient force in
an off-year to win most of the prizes
and laurels. First of ALL the lower
house of congress appears to be safely
republican by small majority, and
with that assured the republicans have
ieeway to carry out progressive legis-
Iation after the present house expires.
While Iowa republicans lost the Sec
ond Iowa congressional district, there
is cheer in the reflection that they car
ried all others and defeated Horace
Boies in the Third. Never was an at
tempt to break into congress with less
reason, 1t is really kindness to him
to retire him to a less arduous position
at home.
A great deal of interest conferred in
the New York election because OF the
interests involved. The returns show
a republican victory despite the desper-
ate efforts of democrats to win. A
democratic victory would have made
David B. Hill prominent as a leader
whereas, with defeat, his mud-slinging
will come up for review and rebuke,
even by his own partisans.
Until more complete returns are re-
ceived, the salient features of other
points can not be accurately reviewed,
tho enough has been given to run up
the old party flag as a signal for vic
tory.
The remarkable success of republi-
canism in Ohio against the single tax
and circus campaign of Tom L. john
son is a cause for universal gratifica-
ton, and, incidentally, compliment to
Senator Hanna. But out OF all the
elections shines one truth more bril-
liant than any of the others. It is told
In little bulletin from Pennsylvania
to the effect that republican losses in
1 the anthracite districts We're not what
was expected. President Roosevelt,
& more than any one other man in Amer
lea. has contributed to republican sue
cess in this campaign. He is consid-
cred today by many as the greatest liv-
ing American. His personality and his
capacity to do things has invited the
admiration of the whole country. The
election results are his vindication.

CIVIL SERVICE PROGRESS.

The merit system of securing and re-
taining employees in the government
service is making progress. as shown by
The nineteenth annual report of the
United States civil service commission
for the fiscal year, just submitted to the
president, who is a stanch supporter OF
the service This report announces sub
stantial progress in the competitive
system and general observance of the
civil service law and rules in the year.
The inclusions in the competitive sys-
tenn in the year were the rural free de-
livery service, a considerable portion Of
the field services of the war depart
ment, the census Office permanent EN-.
ployes and the employees appointed be-
cause of the increased work In the war
with Spain. There were 62,029 persons
examined for places and 1888 persons
appointed, reinstated or transferred,
large increase over any preceding year.
The commission recommends legislation
applying the competitive system to the
District of Columbia. A new revision OF
the rules to supplant the present obso-
lete provisions and the disjointed ar
rangement of numerous amendments
will soon be submitted to the president.
Regarding the political activity of Of
ficeholders, the commission says:
.Tn the classified service, where the
choice is made without reference to po-
Iitical considerations and the tenure of
Office is unaffected by the change of
parties, 1t is perfectly practicable to
provide that the officer or employe.
while retaining his right to vote as he
pleases and to express privately his
opinion on all political subjects, should
not take an active part in political man
agement or in political campaigns, for
precisely the same reason for which
Judge, an army officer OF a regular SOL
der lis debarred from taking such active
part; while In the case of officers ap-
pointed thru patronage and upon po-
litical considerations the proper limit
atoms, In the present state of public
opinion, are different They must not
coerce the political action of their sub
ordinates. They must not use their
offices to control political movements or
influence the result of elections; they
must not neglect their public duties, nor
cause public scandal by their activity.
"The commission believes that the
standards here adopted are the highest
which the practicable at the present
time. and that in enforcing their per-
Torrance may always keep pace with
promise, which would not be true If a
more exacting standard were now
adopted. 1t is obviously unwise to ap-
Fly the same rule to a fourth-class
postmaster in small village, who has
no employees to intlmidate and who

ii seems to the writer ought and would
meet the approval of any reasonable
mind.
First, we might have an expurgated
edition of our Bible, one so very much
abridged as to omit all passages found
capable of sectarian Interpretation, and
including only such chapters or pas
sages from the Old and New Tesla
ments as are of rare beauty and ethical
force. Such an edition to be prepared
by a committee OF scholars, represent
ing all the sects and including Protest
ants, Catholics. liberals and free think
erS.
A second substitute would be "Jeffer
sons Bible" including as it does all
the moral teaching and parallels of Je-
sus that would probably not prove OBJ
jectionable to orthodox Christians, and
prepared by one of their own number 1t
certainly ought to be acceptable to all
free thinkers. The chief objection to ii
lies in the fact of it's limitations, ex-
Guiding as it does all those fine pas
sages of unquestioned beauty and sub
Unity to be found in the prophets and
poems of the Old Testament.
Another substitute is a collection of
ethical teachings compiled from all the
bibles of the world. Tho such a COM
pilation would have the objection that
always inheres in book of quotations
or detached passages. Such work has
little value save as a reference book,
and considered either as ethics or liter
allure would have but a fragmentary
value.
Such work. however. might he
turned into a profitable study of COM
parative ethics and religion, thus bring
ing into play the reason judgment and
comparison of the children.
If the liberals will get together and
be reasonable in their demands and
prove themselves liberal in fact as well
as in name, and not go into spasms
every time they see the name God" in
literature, we believe that all Christians
will gladly meet them half way.
