Unnecessary Routing.

With the growth of the nation, the work devolving upon the President of the United States becomes heavier and more nerve-raeking." remarked a retired politician who lived for a number of years in Washington. "and in view of the severe strain on the chief executive in recent years I have wondered why Congress is not asked to give him cer- tain relief. The President could be re- lieved of vast amount of work if he would only induce congress to change the law with regard to appointments. As it stands the President appoints all the internal revenue collectors, all the GUS toms collectors, all the district attorneys and marshals, and all the postmasters whose salaries amount to S10OO and over. As the presidential postoffces must run into the thousands the Job of signing postmasters commissions is in itself no small thing
 "The President should always appoint the judges and the members of the dip- lomatic corps but the other offices could be just as well filled by departmental ap- pointment. As it is, great deal of the routine in connection with applications for office and the selection of the men to fill the offices is done in the depart ments, but notwithstanding the fact the President is besieged by Gongressmen and others to take up most of the applications personally.
 Our Presidents in my day have been as rule men of strong powers of en- durance. Mir. Cleveland was such a man, Mr Roosevelt is such man and MT. Taft will be able to stand up to his job. But what's the use of the President bothering about the filling of offices? I would think he would be only too glad to have Congress provide otherwise

Henry Clews, in his weekly review of 1 Saturdays date, says in part:
 "One of the most gratifying features of the day is the unmistakable revival of business in many directions. Of course, improvement Is much more pronounced in some quarters than others, but the recovery is most certainly genuine and not of the imaginary sort talked about by last summers prosperity boomers There is no extraordinary prosperity nor boom in sight. and none is desired; for the country has had enough of such and their disastrous reactions, and simply requires gradual and steady resumption of normal activities, such as it is now experiencing. All that the country needs for the present is to be let alone for a period in order to recover its nerve and Wonted activities.
 ''If we look for the quarters in which recovery is most pronounced we find it in the building and engineering trades This was to be expected. A great many ifn- portant enterprises were in course of construction or about to be initiated when the panic came. These works, moreover, were often very urgent in their char acter owing to the rapid growth of our great cities Congestion of traffic and the great demand for new homes and of fee buildings made many of these enter prises imperative. The great pressure upon the railroads for better terminal facilities and greater carrying capacity is already an old story; and their exces- sive demands upon the money market in 1907 was no doubt one of the elements which brought on the financial crisis that for nearly year parayzed all indus trial pursuits. With easier conditions in the money market and with a grad ual revival of confidence, these activities are being gradually resumed and now that the last element of uncertainty, the presidential election, has disappeared the chief shackles upon industry have been loosened."
