Rockefeller's right to wear a wig at
all. !" Every hair in it, they will de-
clare, 81 is the result of an assault upon
the rights Of the public. There is not
hair in it but was wrung from the
hearts Of the people. It is simply OUT
rageous that this man should take
tainted money and buy himself a wig,
and thus try to escape the amateur
photographers and his own deserts. =
Mr.. Rockefeller must not expect to
do anything so audacious as to try to
hide his crimes or his Uranium under
wig without there being great pub

The Public Service.

The statement of Mr.. Loomis that no
president has striven more earnestly
or persistently than President Roose-
welt to get good men into the public
service is tribute to a great man by
a small man. The president could not,
Of course, prevent LOOMS from prais-
ing him, but he could very we'll have
asked more consideration from the man
who has done as much as he could to
make the praise he gives the president
sound ridiculous. If Mr.. LOOMS had
been better public servant, the re-
mark would have come with more
grace; but it is the simple truth, and
as such it cannot be tainted by its
source. Mr.. Roosevelt has been in Of
fee little less than four years, and
in that time he has made few notable
mistakes in appointments to office. lie
has made some, but he has shown
eommendable open-mindedness upon the
subject Of men in office and less of
that disposition to protect party and
personal friends than can be traced to
other presidents. The Morton case is
a noteworthy exception.
We believe one reason why the presl-
dent has been successful in attracting
good men to the public service is the
fact that he looks upon officials not
as his friends or compatriots, but as the
servants of the public When he finds
"a man who is doing good work in his
department he warns up to him be-
"a cause of his work and not because he
appointed him or because his appoint
ment suited some senator.
The public service presents some
aspects which differentiate it from pri-
waite employment in an illogical manner.
In business, each man is expected to
do his part, and he does do it or moves
on. In the public service men are often
appointed to important positions with
the understanding that they will do lit
tie or nothing in the jobs to which they
are named. Their business is to help
hold the party in power. It is a surviv-
al Of the scheme of politics which pre-
vailed in England when the Duke of
Newcastle bribed the members Of the
house of commons to support the high
minded schemes Of craftsmanship ad-
vocated by William Pitt. Putting men
In office for any reason aside from the
service which they can render in the
office is species Of bribery. The senti-
v~ment Of the country which has been long
clogged with this kind of politics is re-
belling against it, is demanding service
work, results. President Roosevelt, from
his training as a handwriting member
Of society and his educated sympathy
with the merit system, is better fitted
than any recent president to lead the

trate this: While the export rate
on grain from Kansas city through
Galveston and New Orleans is prac-
tically the same, yet local rates to
New Orleans is fully SO per cent
cheaper from Kansas City than to
Galveston.
THE construction Of this canal
would be Of inestimable benefit to
Galveston and Houston in acting as
a regulator in the fixing Of rates on

Captain Edgar Jadwin of the en-
gineer department in his remarks in
the convention intlmated very clearly
that the construction Of the canal was
practicable and feasible. Whether it
was advisable was a question that he
desired to be informed upon That

CANAL is IMPORTANT TO TEXAS.
Ohio Valley to the Rio Grande Will BE Ultimate
Scope if Texas and Louisiana Get Canal.


Galveston, Texas, Aug. 12,--Colonel
Walter Gresham, who was one Of the
promlnent delegates to the Intercoast-
al Canal convention at Victoria on the
18th inst, is very enthusiastic concern
ing the merits of the plan as It is
being discussed by the large number
Of South Texas people who are inter
ested in it's ultimate realization, and
while in conversation with reporter
yesterday he said concerning the meet
ing and its objects:
THE personnel Of the convention
represented the leading men and
measures Of Southwest Texas, and all
of them expressed themselves as be-
ing enthusiastically in favor of the
construction of the canal and the
opening of direct water communities
ton with the Mississippi river and
its tributaries.
'SCongressman John N. Garner of
the Fifteenth district during the last
session Of congress, took great inter
est in the subject. After examining
into it thoroughly he introduced a bill
recommending the construction of the
canal, beginning at the Rio Grande
river on the west and extending along
the gulf coast to connection with
the Mississippi at Donaldsoaville, La,
on the east. This bill was referred to
the committee on railways and canals,
of which the author Of the bill is a
member. He worked zealously before
the committee and from them got a
favorable report on his bill When
the matter was reported to the house
the speaker insisted t hat the bill
should be re.referred to the rivers
and harbors committee, Of which Con
gresham G. f. Burgess Of the Ninth
Texas district is a member
by the united efforts. of Congress
men Garner and Burgess an order for
a preliminary survey for the canal was
allowed, and this legislation was the
cause of the convention just held at
Victoria.
in my opinion there is no project
now being investigated by the United
States engineer department that will
open up as many miles Of navigable
waterways at SO small acost as this
project.
