SAFE From Attack.

From the Detroit News.
Secretary Taft of the War Depart

power could successfully assail our sea-
board cities This is reassurng intel

for the reason that land forts, no mat

with first class guns, plenty of ammu-
lnition. and the right sort of men behind
the guns are able to stall off the best
lbattleships that have yet been con-
lstructed. The reason is plain. A big
hole may be shot through the embank-
lments Of a fort and as soon as dark
mess comes it can be made as strong as
before in a single night. A hole in a
lbattleship is likely to send her to \
bottom. Gunners in a fort can have

The Tar Heels are going to give him
such reception as he never had be-

much as he is Of New York and Of the

deal-we down this way attribute to

Judging from the nature OF the Pres

imagine the hearty reception he will
be accorded at every point. In the old
capital of the confederacy the Presl-

THAT CIVIL SERVICE ORDER.

II HE President has ordered that
Il hereafter inefficient employees un-
der Civil Service may be dismissed by
the President or one Of his Cabinet Of
hcers sumnarly. Reasons for the dis
missal. however, shall be given in writ
ing.
One of TIE abuses Of the civil Ser
vice is TO cause certain persons to feel
so secure of their places that they grow
Indifferent and insolent. There is no
public necessity requiring Cabinet Of
hcer to put up with inemciency or in
science for long period until.a formal
trial may be had. And many a man
can pass the civil Service examinations
who isn't fit for any position Of re-
sponsibility
Already we have read the criticism
that this gives the ca,binei officers a
great deal OF power But 1t occurs to
lus that II a man may be trusted to ne
lgotiate foreign treaties or superntend
the affairs Of our navy or army he is
lcapable OF deciding who is ft to serve
ia a subordinate capacity.
But il is objected. this brings back
tie spoils system. 1t does nothing Of
the kind We have TO trust something
to the officers OF the government; and
besides, when an employe Is dismissed
his successor must be appointed from
the list Of eligibles who have passed th'
civil service examinations.
No man at the head of a department
in a shop would be bound for a momen
by rule which obliged him TO submit
to inemciency or insolence on the par
Of subordinates. with only the remed,
Of long tedious process to get rid o
them. The Civil Service stands; onl!
