THE GAME OF POLITICS.

State Harb0r Commissioner Dennison
OF Los Angeles is complaining of the
way the game of politics Is played III
California. He says as quoted by thu
Express tllat politics practically pre-
cludcs efficient service. Legally and
technically, the commissioners appoint
men for the service, but, in fact, they
have nothing whatever to say either as
to whom they shall employ or whom
they shall discharge for incompetency
Commissioner Dcnuisor soon found out.
Aud here is what he says about 1t:
II am free to admit that the Harbor
commission has in its employe wharf
myers and collectors not TT to hold
their jobs. But let us--this board
fire one of these men appointed at the
hehest OF the political leader of Los
Angeles, or the political leader of Ala
media county, and we are starting a
bunch Of trouble right away. It's a
mean and unsatisfactory state of at.
fairs that we are up against
People of this City can sympathize
with the Commissioner. Here, TOO, we
have gang that disclaims any respon-
sbility to the people and the officials
who may be ever so well-meaning are
impotent against their tyranny, The
same gang Is seeking to obtain control
of the County, In order to enlarge its
power and opportunities.

PARTY SPIRIT.

Mr.. James Bryce. a short time ago,
delivered q lecture at Yale on party
spirit" He said In part
Party spirit must be recognized as
being u necessity in large, govern
ing communities. Men who agree in
their Views OF public policy are obliged
to organize in order TO make their views
prevail Parties are held together by
four sentiments chiefly. One IS faith
IN principles another attachment to
leaders. a third the wish to make the
party wise and the fourth the love OF Il
hight. the desire not merely to succeed
put 70 beat down opponents. History
is full OF Instances to show how the
spiritof party may be so diverted from,
It's original purposes as to become a
mere instinct Of allegiance to Il leader
or to Il set of traditional phrases
The Indictment contained in the last
sentences of this paragraph fits exact
tly the so-cailed american party. In
Its case the spirit of party" has been
diverted from its original purpose ana
has become nothing but the instinct OF
allegiance to a leader and to a set OF
traditional phrases.
The less said about the leader the
better. The phrases are nothing but
sfroth, comprising, as they do. insane
denunciations Of a hierarchy that has
no existence. But how long will con
servative citizens follow d crowd that
is inspired by no nobler sentiments than
allegiance to such nothingness, especi-
ally when 1t means a tremendous finan-
cal loss to the City?

dan has thought seriously of that.
We went out there, for the most
part, to teach American methods
of growing cotton.
II do not know how much cotton
is now raised in the Soudan, but
it is considerable. The natives
have always raised cotton, and
four companies engaged in cotton
culture buy this cotton of the ma.
tives and ship it to Liverpool.
We have no gin, but ship out the
seed cotton in 300-pound sacks.
One of the sacks is worth about
$22 80 in Liverpool. The govern
ment holds a fair every year at
it offers prizes to the natives for
the best cotton. These fairs are
held in four or five of the largest
cities of the Soudan. In 1907 l
served as judge and inspector at
one. We have found that while
the American cotton has hot SO
long staple as the Egyptian, the
plants are more productive, and, in
the long run, seem to thrive better
in the Soudan than any other.

number of interesting souvenirs
showing the character and quality
of the native Industries and has
made several contributions to the
Tuskegee Institute museum to
which other graduates of the
