Republican. oppose Reform.

Civil service reform Is a Democratic
policy which the Republicans were
compelled to adopt when Mr.. Tllden
was the leader Of the Democratic party.
For all these years the Republicans
have pretended to favor civil service
reform, but have evaded the law when
ever possible. 1t Is therefore nething
to be surprised at when the leaders Of
thought in the Republican party re-
solve against reform. Read what the
Indiana Republican Editorial Asso-
citation has to say: while we ear
nestly believe that merit should win
and every laborer should be worthy Of
his hire, we are opposed to and hear,
tily condemn the civil service law,
which makes lifetime Jobs Of positions
under Its control and Is producing
countless office holding class whose fu-
ture is even now matter Of great con-
Germ to the government. We stand for
the rich, red blood Of the United States
and feel that anything that binders Its
free coursing in the nations arteries
is detrimental to the public service, and
places premium upon the political
mollycoddle."
This, no doubt, comes because Presi-
dent Roosevelt, the supposed leader Of
civil service reform sentiment, has been
permitting the federal officials to help
in setting UP the pins for delegates,

A Veteran Climber.

Able Gorret, who has Just died at

return they were freely told that

Load stalled Horses,

Thirty.eight horses driven in sin

from the Boston & Albany Railroad
yard at Harvard and 9th streets up
through Main street. Massachusetts
avenue and Mount Auburn street to
the Boston Elevated Railway power
house at Bolyston street. So many
horses working together would have
been enough, OF themselves, to draw
crowd, but the shafting was SO
heavy that the street surface could
not at all points sustain it, and when
the heavy truck sank down through
the solid pavement almost to the hubs
blockade was formed. This was
lifted only by the aid Of wrecking
car, which furnished cable and
power to give the load a new start.
The break through the pavement
came at Burleigh and Main streets,
but the trail of the truck was plainly
dlscernible over a large part of Its
route. It was midnight before the
load was landed at the power house.

The President. Message.


We wish 1t were possible to pass over
in silence the Presidents recent mes
sage. This feeling is prompted by the
fact that the document reflects not the
best but the worst aspects Of the Presi-
dents character. The spirit of 1t is
that of anger, resentment, and intense
personalism; and when this kind of
a spell is on him, Mr.. Roosevelt is not
a pleasing object. Too often Of late
he has permitted himself to be over
mastered by the faults of his tempera-
ment, to exhibit his inability to meet
criticism or the miscarriage of his
plans in that spirit which unfaillngly
marks the man of poised mind and of
true moral courage.
The nominal occasion for this mes
sage was the failure under a decision
of the Supreme Court of a law upon
which the President had set his heart.
But the real purpose of the message
apparently bears small relationship to
its text. 1t Is case where the Presi-
dent has forced an opportunity to fly
into the faces of his critics and to
scratch, and to bite. and to kick like a
spoiled boy ina paroxysm of bad tenn.
per. The incongrulty Of the whole mat
ter becomes painfully obvious when we
try to imagine Lincoln or Grant or
Cleveland in such n role. OF course,
1t all comes to nothing, because it is
on Its face no more than petulant
outburst. Those who read lt-and
there are few indeed who Will really
read 1t through-instantly discount it
us the extravaganza of one who with
all his opportunities and responsible
ties, has never learned the simple
moral lesson. of self control.-San

Politic. in the conxre.n.

AS Inc Republic mas nll along SAIL
that 1t would Presidential politics be-
gins to come up In the divisions Of
parties in the two Houses of Congress.
Since parties are judged at the polls
largely by the records they make in
legislation this Is proper enough In the
year Of a great national election. 1t
Is certainly inevitable. since each party
strives to record itself in the best pos
sible light while trying to show up the
other In the worst possible way.
But the game is played clumslly by
any party which, for the sake merely
Of opposing measures advanced by the
other, permits itself to forget the best
interests of the country and of the
people. Democratic leaders in both
Houses of Congress will assuredly bear
this in mind during all the contests
that are to come during the remaining
months of the session.
Democrats in the House may effect
ually expose the Republican makeshift
policy of delay and evasion On tariff
revision by opposing at every oppor-
tunity the gag that has been placed
upon tariff legislation, which three
fourths Of the country wants and which
the Republicans promise tomorrow,
and tomorrow, and tomorrow.
An early start on undeniably feasible
and necessary works of river improve
ment would give employment to thous-
ands of men who are likely otherwise
to be idle for months. In nearly every
one of the debatable States in which
the Democratic party has reason
able expectation Of electoral votes 1t
will be stronger If Its Senators and
Representatives in Washington insist.
in season and out of season, that the
question of the waterways be not al
lowed to sleep during the remainder Of
the session.
In the Senate the Democrats can
easily bring forward amendments to
remove the most g!arihg imperfectlons
Of the Aldrich currency bill. If an
act on that subject is to pass it should
intelligently meet the emergency 1t is
intended to prevent or 1t will do more
harm than good.
Other issues are likely to arise In
the Congress during the coming four
months. In every instance let the
Democrats be sure they are right and
then drive ahead as hard as they Gun.
