CIVIL SERVICE CAREERS.
Possibilities shown by Successes of
and COPteIyou.

Boston Transcript.
In the United States there is a steady
increase in the number of places in the
civil service. The total is already large
enough to be a serious draft on the mosS
promising of the nations army of young
men. BY frequent examinations the lists
are kept up so that those who fall below
high standards have little chance Of APP
pointment. The hard road to success In
private life, which develops the best quail
tiles, the ~drudgery which precedes success,
does not deter the ambitious young man
when nothing else offers. But the induce
ments which the civil service holds out
are exactly the things which lure the young,
even the ambitious. 1t gives an opportu-
nifty for one to earn a comfortable living
with leisure to pursue the studies of a pro-
fessiCn.
of recent years the examples OF Messrs.
Cortelyou and Hitchcock, both employees
in the classified service, who have risen
to places OF prominence in the political
world. have added much TO the attractive
ness Of it as a career by showing that II
may carry great possibilities. The clas-
sified civil service Is also sending con-
stantIy into private business and profess
sional life a number of men who profit
by the special experience which they have
had under the goveHnment. Patent office
examiners become patent lawyers, and Gus
toms experts IN the Treasury department
become custom house attorneys. TIL De-
partment OF Agriculture is steadily sending
men into the agricultural industries and so
the welding Of the civil service with the
general business of life has become very
much more close than would at first sight
appear.

AS an exhibition of dramatic nerve there
has not been any in years to equal the
attempt to popularize IAN Englishmsn's
Home in Berlin. That extraordinary
freaklsh production. originating in a dream
of German invasion OF England, was rightly
hooted off the stage in the German capital.

good part of the increase being in exports.

ARMY APPOINTMENTS.
Return to Practice of Promotions by
Seniority.
Washington Herald.

Washington Herald.
Army officers will rejoice over the an
nouncement which has been made by the
secretary Of war of the appointments by
President Taft of brigadier generals and a
major general to fill prospective vacancies
in those grades during the present year.
The officers selected represent the APP
pointments in that class of high military
positions which Mr.. Taft will rave occa-
sion to fill by virtue OF the retirement of
Brigadier General J. b. Kerr and Major
General John F. Weston. The selection of
the officers-Brigadier General William H.
Carter to be major general. and Colonies
j. A. Augur, Tenth cavalry; John G. DE
knight, corps of engineers, and M. p.
Maus, Twentieth infantry, to be ~brigadier
generals-represents a commendable adj
herence to the desirable policy OF rec
ognizing seniority. Mr.. Taft is evidently
disposed to regard the colonies OF line and
staff, of whom there are some 40 In num-
Der, as furnishing the officers from whom
selection may be made In appointing gen
eral officers with due regard to personal
and professional qualifications.
There has been nothing more democrat
izing in its effects upon the commissioned
personnel of the army than the exercise
of executive fsvoritlsm in the form which
selects Junior majors and captains to be
brigadiers. Officers who are thus jumped
by their juniors in rank and service are
entitled to entertain a grievance when they
find that their own efforts are thus ig-
nored and their chances of promotion are
thus blocked.
Mr.. Taft's appreciation of the virtue of
seniority is one of the most gratifying
signs Of his attitude toward the military
personnel. the Members of which have en-
tertained the hope that there was an end
OF promiscuous and rampant favoritism.

Ten dollars a mile looks like a
pretty stiff price for fixing the
physical valuation of the Nebraska
railroads. especially when it is remem-
bered that the result will o be final,
but that, from time to time, the same
expenditure will have to be met. This
is another democratic venture into
the realm of experimental govern
ment, and Nebraska taxpayers are pay
ing the freight.

The ancestral home of the tabled stork
is now watching the movements of the
Joyous bird with an eagerness and anxiety
that commands sympathetic interest every
where. The House Of Orange longs for an
heir TO the throne and public hope centers
on news from the apartments OF Queen
Wilhelmina. An heir is essential to the
perpetuity of Holland as an independent
state. Without a direct heir the belief is
widespread that Holland would eventually
become a vassal state OF Germany. whose
expanding policies covet the vast stretch
Of open sea washing the coast OF Holland.
No wonder then that the approach OF the
stork is eagerly watch by the Dutch. Should
the mythical bird bring the happy message.
great will be the JOY OF the Dutch. Past
disappointments will be forgotten. and the
queen can have without asking whatever
the burghers can supply.
The scrappy suffragettes OF London and
OF other population centers OF England
waste a vast amount OF physical and
mental energy in seeking a privilege of
doubtful value, while neglecting lines Of
effort which, rightly directed, would be i'm
mensely beneficial to the sex. One phase
of the drink evil in British cities is that
OF women drinking at bars. An attempt
has been made 70 stop the practice so far
as il concerns mothers dragging their
youngsters into the public houses" by
prohibiting the entrance Of juveniles into
these places. but the prohibition has been
evaded by establishing nurseries near at
hand, where the women can drink while
leaving their children in the care OF nurses
hired for that purpose.
