GOOD MANAGEMENT IN THE
PENSION BUREAU.

The present administration has Of

more striking. however, than the means
adopted by the Commissioner Of Pen
sions to reduce his force according to
the diminution of its work
On Mr.. Warmers initiative Congress
provided that at the end of the current
fiscal year the clerical roll of the Bu-
reau of Pensions should be reduced by
seventv-one names. Ordinarily, this
would mean a many discharges with
multiplied burning and hardship.
The men and women of this particular
force have borne such discharges with
special heaviness Most of them are
veterans or widows Of veterans. and,
competent "a they are, a complete
change OF occupation at this point in
their live would be accompanied with
extra difficulties
Mr.. Warner has managed so that not
a single discharge need be made. He
has simply not made new appointments
to fill! vanaucies caused by death. The
result Is tina today he has covered six
tv-nine of the seventy-one vacancies
and Is secure against making any re
movaIs to cover the remaining two.

aIclicd It is a course sustained not only
bv every consideration of ingenious and
sound business management, but by
every confederation of humanity and

AUSTIN VOTES FOR COMMIS-
SION RULE.

AUSTIN, Tex, Dec. 30.-The city of
Austin today decided to place Its mu-
niCipal affairs in the hands Of COM
mission form of government by ma
JOrity of $50 votes out Of 2,l6O cast.
Thus does Austin join Washington,
Galveston and Des Moines against
what some would call 'onc man rule. -
The dangers of scattered authority"
of divided responsibility,' of Official
confusion and disagreement have not
impelled the Texan capital to cling to Il
mayor and city council. The voters
of Austin have BOXED ont upon their
ucighbors who have saved Galveston
from corruption, upon the voters OF
Des Moines who sought good administra-
tion instead of politics, upon the non
voters of Washington who have found
q Board of Commissioners responsive
to their Judgment as the political ma
chine OF practically no other city Is re-
sponsive-and the voters Of Austin
have chosen accordingly
The Times believes good government
TO be chiefly a matter of men, What
ever the form Of government-within
the limitations of reason-goOd men
can administer it profitably for their
fellows and evil men can for a time at
least administer 1t faithles,ly. But one
form Of government may be more help
ful to disinterested public servants,
another more helpful to predatory pub
lie servants. The showing OF the cur
rent news Is all on the side of the
commission form and against the one
man form.
New York. Philadelphia, Chicago, St
Louis. Boston. San Francisco, and
Pittsburg are among the first Of our
cities. Every one of them has had
municipal scandal for years. in spite Of
apparently. concentrated authority, cen
tered responsibility, official harmony,
and singIencss Of purpose. Every one
of them has municipal scandal today.
The difficulty would appear 10 be that
the authority Il concentrated, the re
sponsibility centered. the corps of Off
ciaIs harmonious and single-minGed all

one-onc- man rule was created.
Galveston was likewise corruptIy
governed. Des Noincs was inefTiciently
Eoyerned. Washington was recklessly
governed. All three have corrected their
faults with the help of change away
from the ouc-man-ruIe which marks
these other cities. Now comes Austin,
adopting similar means with a similar
purpose. It Is a revelation of the
healthful tendency Of the times.

THE FEDERAL VS.. THE CEN.
TRALIZED GOVERNMENT.

Can forty-seven parliaments govern
one country better than one parliament
can govern one country? Is a central
lied administration preferable to a diff
fused one? Is it practicable, under
modern conditions, to maintain a di-
vision of jurisdiction between states
and nation at points where it Is almost
impossible to decide where one authori-
ty ends and the other begins?
These questions are raised in the
most interesting and striking way by
the address of DR.. Stephen Leacocll of
NIcGHI University. before the American
Political Science Association n day or

a foreigner will prejudice him in bi-

The NcGill University professor pre-
scnts startling array of evidence
against the Federal system. He de-
mands to know why part of the States
have one kind of divorce laws. one kind

transportation. one kind of regulation
of corporations, and so on. while the
rest take another view. He points out
the anomalies OF the Federal system,
under which one State charters a cor
poration to do business in all the
others, on terms fixed by the State issu-
ing the charter: terms which NAV i'm
pose great burdens on the other but de-

THE EDITOR TURNS-SCORING
A BUIL'S-EYE.

The editor is a down-trOdden cuss.
People are always telling him what to
do and how to do things, and there are
times when it does not add to his con
tentment OF his digestion to entertain
A suspicion that they may be right.
But he will turn when pushed into a
corner. Thus a kentucky editor, in
conveying to his constituency his lucu-
brations on the Duke of Westminster,
happened to drop into poetry, as Siias
Wegc would say, and printed this
couplet:
Kind hearts are more than coronets
And simple faith than normal blood.
He was promptly and emphatically

have the central government assume all
the powers and then delegate such as
it chooses to the States, instead of hav
ing the central government possess

inefficiency of governing one nation
through more than two score of legisla-
