FAVOR SEPARATION
Of NATIONAL AND
CITY ELECTIONS
MUNICIPAL LEAGUE SECRETARY
AND AID. WEBER STRONGLY
IN FAVOR OF CHANGE-SOME
OF THE ADVANTAGES.

Zone of the most important matters
that must be taken up as soon as we
get the new constitution is that OF
shifting the municipal elections back
to the spring" says Anthony Pratt,
secretary OF the Municipal league. IF
we must have city elections in the
fall, however. let us get them In the
on years. so as to separate them from
state and national elections. NUM-
cipal questions should be considered
entirely apart from the usual partisan
politics. National issues have nothing
to do with our local problems, and
the separation of elections would
clear city issues"
Aid. Weber takes a similar view
and will assist in any movement
started for separating the elections.
Our officials should be elected on
the basis OF what service they can
give the city and not in accordance
with any question OF what their views
on the tariff may be- says Weber.
THE tariff has nothing to do with
three-cent fares, yet men are elected
in some wards solely because they are
Republicans or Dmocrats.

TOTS NAbBED
As BEER THIEVES
STEAL BOOZE FROM WAGON AND
ARE GIVEN BAD SCARE
BY POLICE.

I'VE was thirsty and couldn't get
drink Of water anywhere. SO we stole
some beer" said 9-year-old Jimmie
Johnson, a Negro, when Patrolman
Harry Kinney caught him and a white
companion, Earl Jacobs. aged 8, OF No.
III Madison-ave,, carrying two bottles
OF beer from a brewery wagon stand
ing in the rear OF the Pontchartrisn
hotel, Tuesday morning. The boys
also had two cans of paint, which they
claimed to have found in an alley.
Earl explained that they were going
to build a boat and use the paint to
decorate II.
Patrolman Kinney took both to po-
lice headquarters and gave the lads a
good scare. Both put on brave front
until Truant officer Steinhebel in-
structed the patrolman to lock 'em up
with the rats"
boo, hooi Boo, hoo We don't
want to be locked up. We won't steal
no more" howled the two urchins IL
chorus. please, mister, don't lock US
up"
Then man who posed as the sup
erintendent came in.
What will we do with them?" quer-
ried Steinhebel.
Take 'em down and cut off their
heads" Numbered the bogus superin-
tendent and the bowling broke forth
afresh.
Honest, won't steal no more.
Please let me co. begged the john
son boy, and his white companion
echoed his sentiments.
Earl has been in trouble before,
once on suspicion OF stealing a roll OF
tickets from the Theater Comique. On
account of their age. however. both
boys we're sent home with a warning.
They left the station on a run.

Penslons for Life-snrers.

From the PHILADELPHIA Public Ledger.
President Roosevelts appeal to the
Congress for some practical recognition
Of the service done to mankind by the
life-saving crews will strike a sympathetic
chord in the hearts of thousands Of his
countrymen. The surfmeu are employed
in service which requires of them In times
of emergency the highest heroism. and
the failure Of the country to organize
their work on a basis which shall assure
TO the men an adequate return and a
security for their families in case Of dis
aster or disablement is one Of those in
explicable illustrations Of pound wise
and penny foolish practice which some
times characterize the dOings of rational
men. 1t is to be hoped that the recon-
mendatons Of the President viii be acted
upon promptly and generously.

postmasters in Politics

Representative Acheson. Of Pennsylva-
mia, an ardent civil service reformer. has
introduced a bill to place all postmasters
under the classified service. It provides
for the classification Of all postmasters
and their clerks, and for the filing Of
all vacancies by promotion from the
lower grades to the higher from the
eligible list within the State where the
post-0ffice is located All classified en-
ployes would be eligible to appointment 10
the grade Of postmaster. thus taking these
Offices out of politics and enabling them
10 be hlled by persons trained IN the
postal service. Mr.. Acheson. beside his
theoretical belief IN the classified service.
has had some practical experience with
post-ofice appointments that demon
strates the desirabiIity OF taking the
post-ohices out Of politics. He says.
In nv old district there were four hundred post
Offices As soon as President Mckinley was elected
in 1885 the rush for these Offices began In some
cases l received over four hundred letters about
single Office. Finally. To get nd Of the annoyance
and J0 carry ont mr own personal views an
uounced that every Democratic postmaster should he
aAliNtA 10 stlft t4L MS term, ana that Demo
cut would be retained on each Of the five PENSION
examining boards in my district That lessened the
scramble somewhat. but did not prevent it when the
terms Of postmasters expired.
Mr. Acheson thinks the adoption OF his
bill would be blessing 10 members of
Congress. as well as a benefit to the
public service. But how many other
Congressman are of the same opinion? If
they had no post-ofiiee appointments to
dole out, and no other patronage or other
public favors to distribute. the majority
Of them would hardly know what they
are in politics for 1t is an easy guess.
therefore. that Mr. Acheson's bin is
doomed 10 oblivion, at least until a new
order Of politicians comes into being.
President Roosevelt. il is true, has ear
nestly' recommended that the fourth-class
postmasters be put in the classified serv-
ice, and has stated that the administra-
tion is or was, "endeavOring so far as
possible TO remove them from the domain
Of partisan politics" But that was before
the administration jumped head and heels
into the promotion of the Taft boom. The
suppression of political activity among
Federal employees is presumably one of
the things that, like the tariff, will be
attended TO after the election"

The Passing of a Ghost.

The determination OF The authorities,
amid much conflicting advice on the ques-
lion, 60 abandon OIongapo In the Philip
pine Islands as the site for the naval
base and dock yard marks the end Of Il
long and vigorous fight Some OF the
authorities notably certain naval officers.
have been insisting with great tenacity
for several years that the ideal place
for depot Of naval repair and recupera-
tion in Asiatlc waters was Subig Bay.
II was easily defended. and so on. It
was these enthusiasts who evolved an
elaborate scheme of Improvement and
equipment TO cost the government sew
eral millions Of dollars in the end. one
appropriation was made by Congress. but
Senator Hale. the chairman Of the Senate
Naval Committee, who fully imbibed the
doubts expressed by army ofiicers-and
some naval Oficers-as 10 the strategic
advantage Of Olongapo. so fixed the ap-
preparation that it should be only used
for the purchase OF specific material and
at prices stipulated by item-a quite un-
precedeuted restriction which operated
SO successfully that the Navy Department
was able TO do practically nothing for
two or more years at Olongapo beyond
making ii the refuge Of the floating dry
dock Dewey.
With this decision To leave Ol8ngapo
TO the tropical elements there is a re-
minder Of the swift mutations Of official
caprice which not so long ago made Subig
Bay the object of its favor. Tt was pro-
posed 10 dyedge the harbor. erect shops
establish a community for the native
workmeu, and a village for the artisans
brought from the United States. plant the
marine approaches with deadly mines and
top the adjacent hills with heavy artl-
lery, All that magnificent scheme which
was TO animate the jungle and break the
silence Of the ages has passed into his
tory. While it lasted il furnished oc-
cupation for a more or less industrious
naval board the results or whose labors
are now embalmed in the bureau archives.
IL viii probably not be long before a
similar Obliteration overtakes the plan to
establish naval base and repair plant at
Guantanamo, in Cuba, a place entirely
unsuited for such a purpose and destined
TO continue merely as a naval small arms
target station. for which il is admirably
adapted and for which il has been In

tain service extended to it, principally
by the naval general board and is de-
serving OF the same rejection before too
much money is sunk in property which
cannot be brought away and which would
be vulnerable to almost casual attack.
II IS well there has been Congressional
procrastination In such projects as Olon-
gapO and Guantanamo.

Automobiles on Rails.

From the Pathfinder.
Locomotives cannot always be had for
drawing special cars for the use Of
railway inspectors. and this condition is
causing a growing demand for small in
spection cars that are propelled just as
automobiles are; in fact they are rail
way autos. They are coming into use in
all countries where there are railways In
the United States these inspection cars
are made so as 10 make a speed Of forty
miles an hour and enough gasoline is
taken along 10 run the auto $50 miles
Even in India these machines are being
used. and one manager Of railroad has
had a machine built that will run either
on the rails or the wagon roads.

THE SNOW MAN.
Out on the lawn when the sun was warm
We raised the man Of snow:
Rolled and nodded his chilly form.
And watched his stature grow
HIS head was a pond'rous icy ball.
His nose was shaped with craft,
He looked so fine so white and tall,
That Dorothy gayly laughed
There he was left when the sun sank low;
The south wind blew tiIl dawn,
And when we looked for our man OF snow
His stately form was gone.
Dorothy stared through the window
pane
Where was her snowy pride?
Her blue eyes wondering looked again,
And then she softly cried.
