lust LIKE HIM,

Those who have kept up with Ohio
politics will remember that about "a
year ago the administration was very
much opposed to what was known as
the Cox machine" in that State. Tha.
knowledge will make the following
editorial from The New York Post
more interesting:
The working of party machinery is
admirably illustrated in the latest Fed
eral appointment in Ohio-a place for
ar active supporter of Boss Cox of Gin
cinnati. The vices of the Cox organi-
cation have been so widely advertised
that we need not dwell on them here.
Last year the Administration was hos
tile to Cox. and Secretary Taft deliv-
cred a speech in which he EXPRESSED his
candid opinion of Cox and his cohorts
an utterance which helped materially
toward the election of a Democratic
aker and Dick were at Least cool If not
strongly hostile. toward President
Roosevelt. whose sympathies went out
more naturally to Representative Bur
and Dick. az United States Senators,
can rely upon the courtesy of their
colleagues in holding up OHIO anp"int-
ments to which they object. Thus IL
r'ands and receives tho appointment Of
Eugene Lewis as marshal for the
Southern District of ONO. Lewis is de-
scribed as "red-hot Cox man. and a
leader of the machine" If this descrip
ton be accurate, he should be dis
qualified for any position under de-
cent Administration; to put him int
officeiis an insult to every Ohio Repub-
lean who has labored to purify the
party But as matters stand now. Sem
ators make the appointments by and
with the advice and consent of the
President.
Roosevelt's action in this instance is
so characteristic of him that no one
need feel surprised He is famous for
fine speeches and pledges for purity in
politics, and equally famous for going
back on himself when 1t suits him to
do so. Perhaps 1t would be going a
little too far to say of him. the Earl
of Rochester once said of Charles II:
Here lies our sovereign lord the King.
Whose word no man relies on;
He never says foolish thing,
Nor ever does wise one.
for Roosevelt sometimes says very
foolish things ard occasionally does d
wise one, but we can give him credit
such as it is, for going back on himself
and his pledges more frequently than
any man who has held the high posi-
ton he occupies, The Ohio case is
merely one Of many.
