LANDED INA SOFT POSITION.

Another Rough Rider has land
ed in soft job. State Senator John
A. McIlhenny, of Louisiana, has
been made Civil Service Commits
siOner. Col. Theodore Roosevelt
in his book tells who Mr.. McIlhenny
is and what he thinks of him:
"Oneo of them was John McIlhenny,
of Louisiana, planter and book
lover, who could have had a com
mission in the Louisiana troops,
but preferred to go as a trooper
in the Rough Riders because he
believed we should surely see
fighting. He could have ccmn and
ed any influence, social or political,
he wished: but he never asked a
favor of any kind. He went into
one of the New Mexican troops,
and by his high qualities and
Jealous attention to duty speedily
won his Lieutenancy for gallantry
in action.'' Mr.. McIlhenny's ap-
pointment makes the Civil Service
Commission Democratic, he and
Gen. Black being Democrats, while
Mr.. Green, the third member, is
q Republican.

The Richmond Times Dispatch
INDUCES the hope that Roosevelt
will see the propriety of recalling
the appointment of Cortelyou be-
fore it is too late, but.we do not ex-
pect any such action on his part.
The right thing to be done is for
the Senate to refuse to confirm an
appointment so unfit as this one.
That would be both a rebuke and
a lesson to President who insists
on elevating his friends without
regard to fitness or character

NEGRO NOT TO TESTIFY

Means Much to Commerce.

The Importance OF the automatically
propelled vehicle in its relation to the
commercial and industrial development
of the undeveloped sections of the
world is suggested by study OF the
figures Of exports of automobiles to the
various countries and continents Lack
OF transporting power whether in the
form of horses, canals. or railways has
been one of the greatest obstacles in
attempts TO develop the mountain,
desert. and tropical regions OF the
world. and the fact that the automo-
bile, whether built primarily for pas
sengcr transportation or transportation
of freight. is being rapidly adopted in
those regions i'm which animal power is
scarce suggests great possibilities in
production and commerce through the
use OF vehicles OF this character.
The export trade in automobiles has
advanced rapidly in recent years and
suggests 4 probably rapid growth in
me near future. The total value of
automobiles exported from the United
states ia the ten months ending with
April. 1906. was S2.473.207, against 81
Nl6.O65 in the corresponding months of
1905.
