II was in Ohio after the election

testimony OF his new faith. As State
insurance commissioner he pulls an
annual plum in fees and salary Of
S23, 600; and he is not only willing
to accept the mandate OF the State
as to the reforms proposed by Cover
nor Pennypacker. but he volunteers
the suggestion that the fees of his
office be abolished. Mr.. McCoach ac-
eepts the will OF the Republican
party" And Mr.. Rasin, the human
juggernaut, would reform" the bal
lot by making it easy to vote the
straight" ticket. which is a measure
of moving. condescension on his part
to the dom naager"
No one of these men gives any
sign of conviction that party spoils
are illegitimate. No one Of them ex-
presses any regret for the frauds
committed by the machines they
have served so Loyalty. No one of
them seems to think that govern
ment must be for the benefit of all the
people or it is unlawful. They are
merely impressed with the fact that
the majority has come to a certain
conclusion. Wherefore, If they would
get on the winning side, they must
join the majority.
Reform will meet with no other
lateral pressure as great as that
which is like to come from its pseudo
friends. Every campaign for the next
fifty years viii know that pressure.
Candidates Of the Martin-McCoach-
Rasin stripe will bob up everywhere;
and they and all their friends will
shout reform" from all the house
tops.
But with real reform they can
have nothing, or almost nothing, to
do. They do not even understand it.
If they did, they would not now be
accepting the Will of the majority
with so much Difference. They would
be pretending to a change Of heart
and a belated realization that gov
ernment of the machine, by the ma
chine and for the machine, is only
another name for grand larceny.

Friends of Reform.

The course of reform IS as devious
as that Of true love. Like legislation,
II must advance as It can-by svolu-
ton, revolution, or compromise as
conditions determine. Only the Wild
est theorist can expect its fight to
end in a day or its victories to be all
complete.
But the real friends Of reform owe
their cause their best energies to
keep its course as straight as may
be. They must enlist under its ban
ners all the intelligence and per-
spicacity they possess as well as all
their strength And doing so, they
must keep a watchful eye on those
one-time adherents Of machines who
have so suddenly seen the light of
true government.

Coach and Mr.. Rasin have been i'm
pressed only by votes. Dave" Martin

The PoStOffice Reorganization.

The Postmaster General-with
characteristic quiet, thoroughness
and force-has anticipated the Keep
Commission with reorganization re-
suits in lieu OF recommendations.
From the first day OF December next
his department will operate with
more ease, less expense and greater
simplicity than at any time since it
was given its present form of four
chief bureaus, supervised each one by
an assistant postmaster general.
According to the original plan Of
the Postofice Department. the four
assistants were 20 divide the super
vision of the service among them
the management Of the personnel to
the first assistant, the transportation
of the mails TO the second assistant,
the financial operations to the third
assistant, and the miscellaneous d.
visions to the fourth assistant. New
divisions being organized from time
to time, the growth of one division
faster than another or into another's
field, and lately the far extension of
the free delivery service, have de-
ranged the old classification serious
". The effect of Mr.. Cortelyou's
changes is simply TO restore his Of
fee to the logical and practical form
designed by the law.
In the doing Of this, the Postmaster
Gerenal has been able to make the
service more compact and lessen its
cost by abolishing one entire divi-
sion and eliminating a great bulk
Of correspondence required by the oc-
cupation of separate divisions upon
the same branch Of the service, but
under separate bureau chiefs. Thus
today, the first assistant as director
OF the clerical and supervisory
forces in the numerous pOstofices
must look TO the fourth assistant foI
| certificates Of appointment and the
/ acceptance Of bonds for the men en-
/ rolled in those forces. And the third
| assistant, as the financial agent OF
the service, is compelled to deal with
the money order system through
/ the first assistant. By the new allot-
ment Of divisions the first assistant
viii not only have charge Of the per
sonnel of the service, but be also
the keeper OF the records Of appoint
ment and custodian Of the bonds filed
in behalf of the men in his charge;
and the third assistant will super
wise all the financial operations oi
the department
Like nearly all effective steps, thi;
one seems so obvious that outsider:
are surprised it was not taken Iona
ago. But It was not taken long age
and the taking Of 1t now requires, il
addition TO a remarkably clear Insight
into the most extensive business IN
the United States. an organizing
ability which-if judged by results
has been much too rare in the depart
4 ment service. That kind of abilit,
was one of George Bruce Cortelyoui
chief recommendations for appoint
ment to the Cabinet. and it is ex
tremely gratifying to note that h'
has put it 10 so valuable and practi
cal a use.
