MORE CHARTER TINKERING.
he untimely death Of Registrar Carr

The untimely death Of Registrar Carr
has given the charter tlnkers an OPP
portunity to prepare for more patch
work. They are FESTIVE under the pro-
vision Of the city charter which pro-
vides for the election within a specified
time Of an official to fiji vacancy
caused by death They are already de-
visng means to avoid expensive special
elections in the future,
As we understand the views OF these
excellent gentlemen. it Is an outrage on
the taxpayers to put them to the cost
of an extra election when by a little
foresight the charter might have been
so amended as to give the mayor the
power to fill vacancies until a regular
election could be held We have no quar-
rel with their view 80 far as 1t relates
to the expense involved, but we venture
to suggest that while they are considl
erng the amendment of the charter
they look bit farther into the future.
The office of registrar of deaths,
births and marriages Is a purely cleri-
cal position calling for efficient service
The morning journal-courier. (New Haven, Conn.) 1907-1913, 1908-08-27

Of that class and involving In no sense
whatever the science Of government II
can scarcely be called business office
since It's occupant may be entirely ig-
norant Of business principles and yet
make a first rate recording officer The
first question, therefore, which the va
cancy In the office suggests Is, why IN
heavens name should the voters OF
New Haven retain It IN their scheme
Of popular election? The second is, Is
there not some better way of treating
the office than the way now proposed
The answer to both questions will be
found In the argument which contends
that the office should be filled by the
mayor subject to civil service regula-
lions The thing TO do Is to get an
honest and Industrious man In the Of
flee, and then let him stay there as
long as he does his work satisfactorily,
II we were to bark back to the char
ter thinkers of a year and a half ago,
when the spectacle was afforded the
people of New Haven Of one man oc-
cupying the chair of mayor and that of
probate Judge we should expect the
suggestion that at the next election,
by charter provision, a deputy regis
trar be elected, The proposal TO create
a deputy mayor died amid the jeers of
the committee on cities and boroughs'
but perhaps by this time the deep phil
osophy of the deputy Idea has taken
root and a deputy registrar would not
be an impossibllty.

IMMATURE PHILOSOPHY.

President Roosevelt and Mr. Bryan
have one thing in common, and while
It is an intellectual weakness It springs
from the purest motives. When they
encounter something they do not like,
rough and ready panacea, With them
the conclusion reached Is itself more
than half the battle of reform.
The trouble with the policies of
President Roosevelt has not lain with
the purpose back of them but with
the manner in which they have been
forced upon the country When he
says that the laws must be enforced
and obeyed everybody knows he is
saying what ne should say. But when
he undertakes to enforce them in an
indignant frame of mind, because his
own soul revolts at everything that Is
wrong. he runs up against the social
and commercial organization which
has of Itself become complicated, and
which must be Strengthened out with
great patience and wisdom. II Presi-
dent Roosevelt were able to get his
convictions into widespread use we
should unquestionably be a better and
happier people.
The trouble with Mr.. Bryan's at
tacks on the trusts and his demand
for guaranteed bank deposits Is that
he has not thought the practical sides
OF the crusade for reform out to their
logical conclusion The great majority
Of the people OF the country would
gladly rout the trusts If they knew
how to do II. They have grown UP
gradually and In response to certain
favorable demands of a commercial
character and they cannot be thrown
out of business abruptly without SO
seriously disarranging the entire com
mercial structure as to make the sud
den cure worse than the disease. 1t is
one thing to sympathize with Mr.
Bryan's contention that bank deposits
should be safeguarded and quite an
other thing to impose upon the govern.
ment the discharge Of that task i
would be a good thing If the man who
extends credit to his customer coult
be secured against loss but It would bt
a mighty task for the government t
see that it was done.
The reason why Mr. Taft appeals t
thoughtful men more than ethel
President Roosevelt or MIR. Bryan
both of whom are honest men, Is tina
he gives positive assurance in hi
work wherever tested, Of his conf
dence in thorough and practical meth
DDS. He is as much in favor Of right
eousness in all human association al

believe In undertaking the reforma

Local contest. Had for Taft.

'bNNNpn y idnSNilph'
What dlsquIets the republican man
ayers Just now Is the number and viru-
lence OF these local contests and the
danger that the aggregate Of them
may wipe out the natural margin Of re-
publican advantage. They do not for
get that Mr.. Cleveland's election in
1892 was largely brought about by
such combination OF causes The Is
sue which carried Illinois and Wiscon-
sin for him In that year was unknown
and unheard of In New York and Con-
necticut, and vice versa. II is well
known that the republican party's fight
for the presidency Is always different
from that OF It's opponents: It must
carry an overwhelming proportion OF
the ballot-counting states Of the coun-
try. The democracy's predominance in
the south Is such that even respectable
leavlngs from the republican table In
the north, produced by uncertainties
and discussions, may suffice to summon
for II an electoral majority.

MIR, STEVENS AND THE CANAL.

President Roosevelt has been "as-
founded" at the remarkable achieve
mente OF tho year IN the advance OF the
work on the Panama canal The exeou-
tive calls attention to the excellent
work Of Colonel Cocktails who, as the
head man in charge In the canal zone
for the government, has made things
hum to such an extent that the SEEM
ingly impossible has been done within
a remarkably short space of time
President Roosevelt, and especially
New Haveners, should remember that
what Colonel Goethals has accomplish
ed has necessarily been OF a spectacu-
lar nature because of the very excellent
groundwork OF his predecessor In
charge at Panama, who was John +.
Stevens, now OF this city 1t was, In a
great degree, he who laid the founda-
lions for the rapid advances Colonel
Goethals has accomplished. As for the
ultimate utility or the near completion
lof the canal, we are no more convinc-
cd than ever that It will be as predict
ed. The total cost Is still matter OF
conjecture as is also the date OF Ana
completion Nor are we convinced that
the canal will prove the wonderful az
fair II has been expected. Even Mr.
Stevens has expressed grave doubts on
that score.
