Overthrow Of Bossism.
The overthrow of bossism in Phila.
delphia was the subject of comprehen-
sive address by Clinton Rogers Wood
ruff, secretary Of the National Munic-
ipal league. Mr.. Woodruff congratulated
Mayor Weaver on what he had already
accomplished in that city and said:
At the very beginning Of the revo-
luton which has wrought such marvel
GUS and far-reaching changes in the
politicszof Philadelphia Mayor Weaver
removed the secretary Of the civil serv-
ice board who had made what little
merit system the Bullet charter, pro-
vided farce This was in Mr.. Wood
ruff Is mind the necessary starting point
aof any reform. Under Rolla Dance, the
machine secretary, the civil service was
used only to keep out those who were
objectionable to the bosses. Persona
tion was a frequent occurrence and the
eligible lists a mere transcript Of the
bosses orders and wishes. In short the
office was an adjunct to the organiza-
tion utilized to give force and effect to
its DEGREES.
Redeemed in Part.
! Under the new secretary real and
public examinations were held and the
state Of chaos, partially redeemed. But
The present reform depends entirely on
the good will Of the mayor and his ap-
pointee to the civil service board. 70

islature and thus permanently and eff
fectively establish the merit system not
only in Philadelphia but in the other
municipalities and in the state govern
ment where it is badly needed.
During the recent campaign there
was some complaint that officeholders
were actively enga ged in politics. There
seems to be no doubt that this was the
case, but there is "a tendency to condone
it on the ground that the city was face
to face with a great crisis which could

in his address at,sthe City club. dinner
declared that officeholders should be
fully divorced from all political rela.
tions to making Of nominations and the
conduct Of elections. This has been fol-
lowed up by orders to the directors Of
public safety addressed to the fire and
police bureaus. The mayor declares
that these orders will be carried out in
letter and spirit. =

fees. The latest estimate of the mum,
Der of applicants for these places is
1000. In most cases the principal plea
has not been merit or fitness, but the
fact that the applicant has been an
active factor in the successful revolt.
The city. party leaders are doing them
utmost to stem the tide Of officeseek-
ers. The city committee Of the party
has placed itself on record that no per-,
son holding an appointive salaried office
under the national, state, county or city
government shall be legible to member
ship in the city committee or in any
ward committees of the city party.

the outposts Of The spoils system and

aminations to test the fitness of candi.

ture lies with the people Of Philadel-
phia. The present gains must be made
permanent thru appropriate legislation,
but beyond this the people must cease
from regarding public office as the
proper reward for political service

the kind of religion which Jesus lived is making
Roadway in Japan. Rapidly and most healthfully,
the Japanese Christians refuse to take the barnacles
of traditional christianity, though they want the
ship and cargo. Japan to-day has not only cast
off Chinese culture and principles but she is teach
ing the Middle" Kingdom ideals of
education and political science, while Japanese
Christians make known in China and Corea how

pharisaism and conceit to say nothing of European

Crusades which bred hatred between Orient and
Occdent, and face the facts without prejudice.
We had better cultivate more modesty before
Asiatics for all religions out of Asia-even

ventions and comforts.

but critical student of conditions, l maintain
that the religious forces reconstructng all

ment, inquiry, comparison and personal experience,

dogmas and priestcraft, the Japanese have had
enough, but they recognize results.
The type of religion predominant in the United
States is the type becoming SO in Japan. The
Buddhists talk of death, the Christians of life. To
say that Japan is dominated to-day intellectually
by China" and is "beho1den soul and body to
China" is absurdty. Thus assertion is clear

hundred years not only the daily food of the pre-
