The spirit OF revolt is spreading. The
long suffering mules OF Wales are In mu-
tiny. The story, as it comes from New
castle, Pa, runs thus:
Local Welsh folks who have Just returned from
visiting their native land say the great religious
renders 1t almost impossible 10 work the coal mincs'
for the mules refuse TO haul the coal from the pits
Formerly tho miners and drivers urged tho
mules 10 their best efforts by liberal use Of profanity
the mules bending TO their tasks TO the tune OF
bloodcurdlng oathS.
Since the revival In Wales the miners refuse
to swear at the mules. and the animals are so be-
wildered they don't know whats expected OF Them
SO they stand still and when the lash Is laid on
merely hump their backs"
Here is the subject for a narrative that
might rival in interest the story OF the
Potemkin. In bordering the possibilities
Of this mutiny, we were reminded Of the
old story of the church organist who OBJ
jected to his blowers remark: we played
very we'll this morning. 1t will be re-
membered that, as the story runs, on the
following Sunday the organ gasped and
rumbled. is it 'we'2' asked the blower.
1T is," groaned the humbled organist, and
the rushing Of mighty wind was promptly
resumed.
AS between the miners and the mules OF
Wales, we are willing to put our money on
the mules when they say: is 1t 'we'?"

Complaints OF tho Civil Service
Board.

Commissioner MCADoo of the Police
Department must make promotions to
the rank Of captain from an old eligible
list Of sergeants, on which are the names
of several men whom he has no desire
to promote, and which does not carry the
names of number of men whose pro-
motion he believes would add to the eff
cheney Of the department. With bound
hands he must accept the responsibility
for the conduct Of his department, while
the Municipal Civil Service Commission
manages it's details. Tho Commissioner
takes the blame that results from the
operation of wooden and unelastic sys-
tenn in which he has no voice Who will
criticize him if he sees something besides
perfection in the civil service laws and
regulations?
DR.. JOHN H. PRYOR who has resigned
from the office of resident physician in
the State Hospital for tuberculosis, has
had experiences with the State Civil
Service Board to match those of Com
missioner MCADoo with the municipal
organization. In giving the reasons for
his resignation, DR.. PRYOR said:
lam disguised and measure my words when
say dlsgustedw with tho results OF the civil service
as administered In this State. The Civil Service
Commission or rather It's clerks. seems able to fur
nlsh me with everything do not want and nothing
| I do want In the way OF assistants. A superin-
tendent Is held responsible for the entire manage
ment OF his institution. but all his employees have
| tto hi,h fav 10
can show their fitness for the positions they hold
! Is a complete farce. ! do not hesitate in saying
| tina, the time Is past when a superintendent OF a
state institution In New York State can feel tina,
the direction OF the Institution is In reality in his
hands. and the time Is approaching rapidly when
no physician OF any professional standing will
accept position in a State institution"
Neither Mr.. MCAOoo nor DR.. PRYOR is
"pothouse politician, nor does either
of them wish to "debauch the public
service" Yet neither is satisfied with
the civil service laws and regulations as
they are now enforced. Only recently
the Secretary of the Treasury, an Off
cial of some importance and dignity in
the Federal Government, discovered that
he was incompetent to select the coach
man who was to drive him about. 1t is,
of course, universally admitted now
that in the Chinese system are wrapped
up Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Hap
piness No one would dare to-day to
dispute this, but at times the wrapper
must become little irksome for those
entwined with its red tape.

SLB.SURFACE BRIDGE TERMINAL
For the Manhattan End q the wiiliamsourS
Bridge.

Bridge.
At a conference yesterday between
Comptroller Grout, Borough Presioen1
Ahearn and Chief Engineer Nichols OF the
Bridge Department, the committee ap.
pointed at the last meeting OF the boaro
Of Estimate to decide upon plan for pro-
viding terminal facilities at the Manhattan
end Of the Williamsburg Bridge, It was
practically agreed to report in favor OF
an underground station. The scheme
is to build a terminal under the brldge
plaza, leaving the plaza unencumbereo
except for small space which Will DC
required to provide for the running OF
trains into the station after they leave
the bridge
1t will be necessary to reconstruct the
trolley and train tracks for some distance
back from the end Of the bridge to provide
an easy grade into the sub-surface terminal.
The details have yet to be worked out,
but Comptroller Circuit said YESTERDAY
that the engineering problems offered
no difficulties and that the proposition
would be cheap one, for the reason that
the only additional land which will have
to be purchased by the city will be fifty
foot strip on the second block from the
bridge, between Norfolk and Suffolk
streets He also said that in time subway
trains in Manhattan and Brooklyn would
be run across the bridge and that the UNDER
ground terminal could then be taken into
the general system. The committee Will
make its report to the Board OF tstimate

From Occident to Orient.

II cannot be assumed with reason that
the sole purpose Of Secretary TAFT s
midsummer journey to the Philippines
ia such a brief and perfunctory survey
of conditions there as the itinerary per-
mits. The party will be in Manila just
six week days, with a reception, pan
ouet or ball scheduled for every day OF
the six.
Nor is it to be supposed for moment
that Mr.. TAFT, whose official time Is
about as valuable as that Of any man on
earth, goes half way around the globe
merely that he may have the pleasure OF
showing to some charming young women
and som, adventurous Senators ana
Representatives the tropical beauties OF
Iloilo, Zamboanga, Jolo, Natpaloeah'
Sorsogan and Batangas.

sudden emergency has arisen demand
ing the presence of the Secretary OF War
at Manila. 1t is a fact that his present
remarkable expedition was planned and
announced months ago.
1t will be noted, furthermore, that
Major-Gen. LEONARD WOODS arrival in

h, has them He belongs to the class
of really great lawyers who give dignity
to their profession and who have rem
dered illustrious services to their coun-
try since the foundation Of this republic,
since the days of THOMAS JEFFERSON
and ALEXANDER HAMILTON.
1t is said that the expenses OF the
Secretary of State at Washington far
exceed the amount Of the salary paid
him. Very likely. but not necessarily.
If he is a man who thinks the dig
Of his office requires him to keep up a
great state his pay by the people will
hardly be enough for his house rent;
but even if it was doubled it would be
small as compared with the expenditures
Of hundreds OF rich men in Washington.
But does he need to keep any such
state? Is it not optional with him?
Speaker REED lived on his official salary,
and his dignity did not suffer. Very few
of the Senators and Representatives in
Congress have any, or any considerable,
private incomes in addition to their
official salaries.
Undoubtedly the bill increasing omclal
salaries within moderation ought to be
passed. but not to enable servants of
the people in high places to compete
in luxury with the very rich men Of
this period Modesty and simplicity OF
living comport with the theory or this
democratic Republic. AS it is, there
is too much profusiveness in Washing
ton. Private luxury encourages pub
lie prodigalty. If there is any place
where tho simple life ought to be
illustrated practically. it is at the seat
of the Federal Government.
This talk about money rs If it con-
stituted the only great prize OF life is
vulgar and snobbish If anybody feels
that way in this Republic, let him follow
his impulse and 60 ahead in his money
making. He does not belong in public
office, and the people do not want him
! there.

badly. Altogether it was not a dis
creditable incident.
Too often the legitimate complaints
against the police blind the public to the
real facts about them. They err, some
times in ignorance, sometimes cor
ruptly. Among the 5000 men in the de-
partment are some pretty tough speci-
mems. But besides these there are the
brave, generous, intelligent and clean
