I'm Ohio politics Of any creed for the

happened at that convention The
leaders we're on hand promptly with
their various selections, but none Of
them had chosen John M Pattison.
For once, however, the rural dele
gates rose in their might and refused
TO be led. To the utter amazement and
grief of the gentlemen from Cincinnati,
Cleveland, Columbus and Toledo, VINO
had devoted themselves so long and
so unselhshly perhaps to the duty of
representing the party in convention
assembled. the country delegates united
stubbornly on John NJ. Pattison and
refused to be tempted by any one OF
the five other candidates dangled Sc
duetvely before them by the party
leaders.

remain, however, tracts of land on the
lake shores owned by private parties.
These they will not part with except
at extravagant prices. Under the law
the water board can obtain merely an
easement upon this property. or right
to use it for it's own purpose, but it
cannot acquire that complete control
essential TO safety.
There can be no reasonable objection
to extending the right of condemnation
to such cases. A city can take land
for-its streets and railroad company
for. its right of way under the authority
of the state, after paying such just
compensation as may be fixed. Ger
tainly water board, upon whose care
and labor depends the health and per-
haps the life of hundreds of thousands
of people, should have equal authority.
The bill is fathered by great public
necessity, and it ought to pass at once
without delay or objection.

Japan and This Country

p That our relations with Japan in the
next century may embrace periods of
friction may be conceded as possible.
but in order to avoid clashes the United
States might well study methods of
maintaining permanently the most
friendly understanding. To that end
the Philippine islands might advan-
tageously be given their independence
with the simultaneous proclamation by
Japan Of an Asiatic Monroe doctrine,
which would place Japan in the per-
fectly natural position of protector of
the southern archipelago. What the
United States is to Mexico, Japan
would then be to the Philippines. Our
retirement from the Philippines would
thus be accompanied by the assurance
that strong power, and the greatest
of oriental-Powers, was left as the pro-
tector of the first oriental republic. And
thus the bond of amity first forged by
our opening of Japan to western civ
ilization fifty years ago would be
strengthened by our acknowledgment
OF Japan's supremacy on the coast of
Asia in-tlfe same sense that the United
States is morally supreme under the
Monroe doctrine, in this hemisphere

PRESIDENT AMENDS
CIVIL SERVICE RULES
Postoffice Cashiers and Finance Clerks
and laborers Are Concerned

WASHINGTON. April 4.-Before
leaving here the president signed sew
eral papers amending the civil service
rules. Under one of these orders per-
sons employed in foreign territory con-
uguous to the United States, will be
appointed only through competitive
examination. Cashiers and finance
clerks in postoffices throughout the
country, of which there are but about
$50, are taken out of the excepted
class and hereafter will be filled by
promotions. 1t is provided that no
cashier or finance clerk who was ap-
pointed without examination shall &C
quire any Of the rights or privileges
of employees appointed through Compel
tive examinations. except on the
recommendation of the postmaster gen.
eral.
An additional order affects persons
employed as laborers and engaged in
doing clerical work in the executive
departments. 1t brings all such per-
sons into the competitive division and
1t is directed that under no circum-
stances whatever shall any unclassified
laborer be assigned to classified work
1t provides that laborers who in con-
nection with their usual duties are to
perform work OF the grade performed
by classified employees shall be ap-
pointed upon certificate of the civil
service commission from eligibles in
the manner provided by the civil serv-
ice rules.

Contemporary Comment
Room to Grow Up in the West

This era Of agricultural expansion
has just started. Then, too, there is
still plenty of new land being opened.
There are no less than three Indian
reservations in Montana, Wyoming and
Utah slated for opening before the fall
or 1906. "A young man who gets a
claim on either of these reservations
is Independent for life. There are no
such opportunities for land getting in
the east, where every foot OF ground
has been under private ownership for
years, and where land is held at a high
valuation. The young man in the east
finds his opportunities confined to
those Of business, and even in this
there is much more competition to
meet than in the west. where the in
rush of new population makes new
opportunities in all lines. From the
present outlook the next ten years will
be the most prosperous and progress
sive decade the west has ever known.
Fortunate will be the eastern young
men who are wise enough to take
Horace Greeley's advice at this day
and TO grow up with a growing coun-
try--Denver Republican.

A WORTHY BILL

A bill to authorize water boards to
obtain by condemnation land necessary
to the maintenance and protection of
the city's water supply has been before
the legislature from the beginning. 1t
passed the senate without difficulty,
but in some strange way 1t has either
struck a snag or floated into an eddy
in the house and has not since been
heard of. This measure is absolutely
free from objection, and is called for in
the interest of public comfort and pub
lie health. 1t ought to be brought out
of its concealment and passed immedi-
ately. If it should fail heavy respon-
sibility would rest upon those pre-
venting its passage.
T e G OBJ e has already discussed
this subject fully in urging the authori-
cation of the additional bonds request
ed by the st. Paul water commission
ers. We may go further, however, In
this special direction and point out

to keep pure the water consumed by
any city must be unless it has full con-
troll of the shores of the sources from
which such supply is drawn. All effort
to save the water from contamination
and to secure the public against cpl

land from which pollution may enter
the water source.
For many years our own water board
has been engaged in securing control
of the property draining into the lakes
from which st. Pauls water system Is
fed. In our case 1t is an unusually
comprehensive task. The chain OF
lakes that supply us have an immense
aggregate shore line, and all of this
must be guarded. A great deal of work
has been done. Land has been pur-
chased quietly, objectionable and dam
gerous occupation has been put an end
to and the major portion Of the shore

An End to Addicks

1t begins to look as if the one great
virtue that Addicks possesses, perse-
vefance--as virtue, by the way, which
1t is generally admitted, is also the dis
tinguishing merit of Satan-would not
suffice to get the gas man into the
United States senate. There is nothing
in the details of the news to make any
one uproariously jubilant, for the vote
in which this defeat for Addicks was
recorded was one in which the nine
anti-Addicks Republicans united with
seven of the former Addicks Repub-
licans upon a compromise candidate
1t is possible, therefore, that some per-
sons now upon this earthly stage may
live TO see the time when Addicks viii
have been got rid of as a senatorial
candidate, and that by a process more
satisfactory than the sending of him to
the senate.-Baltimore News.
