n NUMBER II
THH GOVERNORS AppoINTVE POWER,

Ex-Lieut. Governor Snyder, over
Il year ago, in an interview gave
facts and figures to show that the
appolntive power of the Governor
OF Louisiana Is much greater than
1t should be; greater in fact than
the combined appoiutive power of
the governors of half a dozen other
Southern States.
Mr. Snyder's compiled statement
onght to convince any one that the
issue that Gen. Jastremski calls at
tentlon to is not fictitious issue
as the Blanchardites claim The
evils that must follow the retention
of the appointiv3 power now vested
in the Governor of this State are
too patent to require discussion.
Mr.. Snyder said, in part;
"Governers of the States Of Ala
bama, Arkansas, Georgia, Misss-
sippi, North Carolina and Texas
appoint in the aggregate about 10
men TO Office, while the Governor
of Louisiana, either directly or
through his appointees, appoints
about 800, and, making liberal al
lowances for omissions or errors.
the executive patronage i'll this
State is certainly three times as
great rs that Of all the six States
above named. have not received
information from the remaining
Southern States, but from the
above it is fair to assume that the
Louisiana patronage exceeds that
of all the Governors of all the
Southern States and is probably
greater than that of any other APP
pointing power in the Union, the
President only excepted.
"The patronage at the disposal
of the Governor of Louisiana,
either directly or through his ap-
pointees, is both startling and
shocking, and clearly demonstrates
what a constant Withdrawal Of the
political power from the people has
been going on. When compared
with the appointing power Of the
Governors of the other Southern
States, the condition here is EN-
phasized and accentuated. - Er-
change,

MANS USEFULNESS.

The age at which a mans useful.
ness in the world ceases is mooted
question, but just now it is being
widely discussed because a short
time ago the president of one of
the largest railroads in the country
issued a circnlar to the effect that
hereafter his company would not
employ any clerks over 35 years of
age. 1t appears that great many
persons supposed that railroad
presidents believed that man was
not of much use after he had
reached this age, but this was not
the meaning. On the contrary, he
held that if, ct the age of 35, a man
was not fitted for any Office more
important than a clerkship he
could never be Of any great value
to a railroad corporation.
The Augusta (Ga.) Herald con-
tends, however, that the age limit
of a mans usefulness is constantly
being extended, and where for
merly it was thought to have a
downward trend at so years is now
considered to have reached the full
ness of his intellectual strength at
60 and 65 years. CDR. Andrew d.
White" says the Herald, "who is
as someone expressed it seventy
years younger, is just beginning to
gather material for what he con-
siders his most important book.
Here is case of each day, each
year, adding to mans usefulness
and brilliancy. just so surely as
a mans active career begins earlier
than formerly SO does it extend
further into the rich, ripe years Of
perfected maturity"
We are quite sure that our Au-
gusta contemporary takes the right
view of the matter. 1t was only
the other day that we saw Senator
Platt, of New York, at 81, and
Senator Stewart, Of Nevada, at "a,
taking unto themselves young and
olushing widows, showing that the

PANAMA'S
STATUS
SETTLED

Washington. Dee. Z.-''Refusal by the
United States TO consent to a proposition
from Colombia for reference OF the
Panama question to The Hague tribunal
is expected and will be fully approved by
the European powers
This statement was made 70 q repre-
sentative OF the Associated Press last
night by a European ambassador of high
rank and influence. IL has already been
made in substance, though In rather more
diplomatic language to General Rafael
Reyes. the Colombian minister who is ex-
pected in his forthcoming note to the state
department 20 suggest The Hague tribunal
as the proper place for the settlement
OF the Isthmian problem. Whether the
knowledge that the refusal of such re-
quest. so far from prejudicing the Euro
pean powers against tho Washington gov
ernment. will call forth their emphatic in
dorsement or will cause General Reyes to
modify his note is rot certain.
The Ambassador quoted, in explain
ing the attitude OF European powers said:
