earth, and even at times took the
lead in creating sentiment tavorlng
modern ideas, yet in this one particu-
lar there has been no advance from
the order of things that character
lied our nations beginning. If the
business man of the present day
would attempt to conduct his affairs
with the system of bookkeeping used
by the United States, or if red tape
prevailed as it does in government
dealings, he would soon go to the
wall and make room for more pro-
gressive competitors.
The trial of Machen, who is now
serving a sentence for participating
in the postal frauds, brought out the
fact that the cumbersome machinery
used in the administration of our
Postal Department, instead of being
check, was really an aid for those
who would defraud the government,
as was proven in his case.
1t is the same everywhere. Many
times the government compelled to
pay more than prevailing prices
either for commodities or work that
it wishes done simply because con-
tractors are compelled to add rea-
sonable charge to the regular cost on
account of the red tape. Those who
do work for this country are often
compelled to wait for months for
their money. In particular this has
been true of the Postoffice Depart
ment, where until quite recently the
habit of keeping mail carriers out of
their money for several months after
it was due has prevailed. To the
poor man this was an especial hard
ship, and he was often put in the
hands of the usurer because he could
not get what was due him. Recent
changes, we are informed, has rene
died this abuse.
Bureaucracy also largely respon-
sible for this condition of affairs.
Every department is honeycombed
with a feeling that attempts to mag
nifty its particular Importance rather
than a satisfactory advance of the
governments business. Those who
have had occasion to be involved
when it came to a clash between diff
ferent bureaus have found to their
sorrow that this fancied dignity will
be upheld regardless of attending cir
cumstances. Public interest must
sink into subserviency when COM
pared to Departmental Dignity, if
we may be allowed to coin the term.
President Roosevelt will accom-
plish a distinct reform if he can bring
about a state of affairs comparable
with the times. No one of the new
heads will dare to depart frcm the
traditions of his predecessors, who
no doubt were also compelled to
adopt the system of heredity that
has been handed down since the
United States was an infant republic.
If there is any one change needed
more than another, it is to simplify
the business methods of Our govern
nent.

TROLLEY FALLS TO STREET
Several Persons Have Narrow Escapes
When Heavy Iron Pole Strikes
Pavement

A serious accident was narrowly
averted when the trolley pole of car
No. 1917 of the Mateo street line fell
into the crowded street at Second and
Spring at 7:15 last evening.
As the heavy iron pole started to
fall, a passerby whose name could not
be learned, shouted to the persons in
the street to look out The descent of
the pole was slow enough to enable
the crowd to get out of the way before
it fell to the asphalt with a crash
Forty cars were backed up on the east
side of Spring street waiting for the
injury to the car to be repaired
Twenty minutes work was necessary
to enable the car to continue.
The motorman had accidentally left
his controller thrown to the first notch
when the pole fell and had climbed
to the roof of the car in company with
the conductor. When the pole was ad-
justed to the wire the car leaped for
ward and both men narrowly escaped
being hurled to the ground.
The conductor held the trolley shaft
away from the wire until the motor
man could regain the interior of the
car and throw off the power.
