Departmental Changes.

In all the talk about departmental
changes incidental to the close OF the
fiscal year 1t is to be borne In mlno tnal
unless the heads of departments ignore
the specific terms Of the appropriation
acts there will be no actual reductions In
the clerical number Congress appro-
nriates annually for the employment ot
a specified number OF clerks, SO many
Of such a class, so many OF announcer
class. and so on, each bill carrying
lunn sum sufficient to meet these oe-
tailed proy!sions It is expected that
the departmental chiefs will use all the
money that is appropriated and no more,
although occasionally deficiencies are IN
Cured. owing to emergencies that arise.
Rut II rarely happens that money that
has been appropriated for the employ
ment of clerks is turned back into the
Treasury. In any case. there is no
saving in the sense of releasing such
funds for other purposes until the end
Of the fiscal year for which the appro-
priations are made. the acts standing as
charges against the treasury 1or the en-
tire amount named.
Unless heads of departments are un-
dertakine to save money to be available
as dQQ1tlOndl treasury dSSClS VA eAiS 49,
of July, 1910. the proposed departmental
changes will consist in readjustments
of the STATS, personal shiftings from
grade to grade to secure more efficient
clerical body 1t is difficult to conceive
how there can be any wholesale dis
missals or reductions of force unless an
entirely new policy is to be adopted
whereby the administration undertakes
to supplement the legislative work OF
Congress by actually altering the terms
OF the appropriations. In view OF the
difficulty with which the appropriations
are increased from year to year. 1t Is
likely that department heads will be slow
about actually reducing their forces and
turning money back into the Treasury.
1t may be that there is need OF a
readjustment all along the line in the
departments, and possibly the govern
ment service will be benefited by some
dismissals and q series OF promotions
and reductions. But that there Is any
great amount Of "deadwood" in the gov
ernment service is not to be believed, or
that the heads of departments, II ami
mated solely by desire to improve the
service, to the exclusion Of all partisan
and political motives. will find 1t neces-
sary to disrupt existing conditions seri-
| ously. More harm than good will be
accomplished by a policy of radical
changes.

to the hlt, and with q boldness seldom
witnessed in q contest for the greatest

In terms that the simplest could under

to put their authors to rout. His ma

Since his inauguration the President has

This test is almost at hand. When the
conference between the two houses OF
Congress begins, the President Will be
strongly appealed to as arbitrator, and
will be under strong impulse to act.
He wants bill that he can sign, and
Congress wants him to sign the Dill IL

The President as Politician

1t was to be expected. There is specu-

Some of the opposition to Judge Taft's
nomination for President grew out of the
fear that in the role Of leader he would

The Private Secretary.

The success or failure of a public man
is queer product of ability and chance
and In the final summing up it will be
found that chance is as big an equation
as ability. In the gamble the bigges,
stake the public man lays down is his
selection of q private secretary. Neither

private secretary, who by his tact anC

Sneak Out.

From the Columbus Ohio State Journal.
There are all kinds of faults found with
the educational system. the last one we
have noticed being one suggested by a
speaker at an eastern commencement
He said the fault was imperfect articu-
iation" While this may not be regarded
a fault of the system, 1t Is In practice a
serious fault No one is educated who
does not talk clean and clear. for rily
speech is a sign that ones ideas are In
definite and void. Whether this state OF
mind js the cause or consequence OF
mumbling and careless speech we cannot
say: but we can say they go together.
and hence indistinct speech Is a sign OF
a disordered intellect. 1t is probably a
fault that takes its weakness from the
mind. and hence Is hard to cure. A poor
thinking machine is apt to turn out poor
expression II there Is lack Of clear
conviction the manner Of the language
quickly reveals 1t.

The Corporation Tax.

Mr.. Aldrich's attitude toward the cor
poration tax. frankly confessed yesterday.
need not have surprised anybody. Such
tax could not have originated with him.
Nor would he have been likely to accept
81 except as an emergency measure.
There was the Treasury deficit pressing
on the one hand and the income tax
proposal. strong in the Senate pressing
on the other Standing thus between the
devil and the deep sea, he must give
/ heed to the offer of relief. The President
could not have had much trouble In
bringing him around.
But in giving the tax life Of but two
years Mr.. Aldrich makes bold proph-
ecy There is much to be said on that
point The senator's calculation is based
on his idea that the new law In its Gus
toms features will yield the government
all the money II needs for running ex-
penses. He sees the corporation tax f1ll-
ing up the Treasury deficit, and then an
end. AS large surplus In the Treasury
is not for the best, the people. he thinks
will consent to the repeal Of that feature
Of the new law providing 1t.
Everything depends. Suppose the new
customs schedules fail as revenue pro-
ducers. Suppose that at the end of one
or two years the corporation tax, or some
other special means of raising revenue.
IS still necessary. Suppose meanwhile the
states in sufficient numbers have agreed
to the income tax proposition. Is any
thing likelier than that. In such circum-
stances. we should see. not proposition
for the repeal of the corporation tax out
right. but proposition to substitute an
income tax for the corporation tax?
The contest would be bitter. and, as
now. three-cornered. There would be the
demand. as now, to revise the schedules
means. Lower the duties unnecessarily
high. and increased importations will solve
the problem. Tax the earnings of cor
porations. so as to equalize burdens. Tax
incomes, as a means Of making the rich
pay their share.
We should not shut our eyes to the fact
that the President. in submitting his mes
sage to Congress. not only added a most
interesting feature to the tariff debate.
but changed somewhat the whole tarin
problem. An income tax. an Inheritance
tax. and a corporation tax, all have their
roots in one proposition. The President
has no objection to any Of them. It Is
well known that except for the Supreme
Court decision he would have recon-
j mended an income tax. So that what We
shall hear In the Senate on this subject
will be thoroughly worth the country'i
while.

White Troops for Brownsville.

The announcement is made that Fort
Brown at Brownsville. Tex, IL again to
be occupied. but this time by white SOL
diers. A policy agreed upon as to civil
matters is adopted as to military matters.
That is to say, no assignments are to be
made in conflict with local sentiment. As
a negro postmaster would not be ap-
pointed for Brownsville, negro troops are
not to be quartered near the town. Local
sentiment decides in both cases.
The Brownsville tragedy was regrettable
on every account. At the time. an effort
was made to fix the responsibility on the
War Department. Why have sent negro
troops to a place where they were not
desired? Could anything have been palmer
than that a collision between the soldiers
and the citizens would follow? Was not
the assignment. in effect, the touching of
a lighted match to powder?
As matter of fact, the extent Of the
feeling at the little Texas town was not
known at the War Department until the
explosion had taken place. The troops
soon discovered that their presence was
Objectionable, and probably would have
welcomed a change Of base. But 1t was
not for them to decide, or even formally
idly the shooting up of the town came
like fash.
There is a broad question embraced in
this new order. The military authority
has always been subordinate to the civil
authority, and now in this case II Is made
subordinate to civil sentiment. The army
dispositions are, in a measure, made q

But the negro troops need not complain
so far as their personal comfort is con-
