An Astonishlne Discovery.


Tho Intelligencer has made the as
tonishfng discovery that
Every address made by Mr..
Roosevelt In his swing abound the
circle, by Implication at least was
"a direct attack upon the national
\ Republican administration.
Will tile Intelligencer kindly indl-
cate any one Of the colonel's speeches
in the west In which there was any
reference whatever TO the national
Republican administration other than
complimentary What he said was
pretty generally satisfactory to pro.
gressiye Republicans, and there are
very few Republicans Of any other
kind in the States where the colonel
did most Of his talking. Is the Intelli.
gencer prepared to admit that the
preaching Of the well-known Roosevelt
doctrines in regard to the public CON
troll Of public service corporations and
the conservation Of national resources
constitutes an implied attack on the
national Republican administration?
The colonel says he is after the bosses
and the crooks. He has not, even "by
implication" included the administra-
tion,in either class.-Morgantown Post
Chronicle.

One Of the Twins.

He is especially fond of children
when they get old enough to chatter.
Not long time ago he made the ac-

said, meeting one Of the twins in Rit-
tenhouse square, .::and which one of

WASHINGTON, January 6.-Though
the Democrats contested every inch Of
ground, the house yesterday passed the
bill abolishing the Panama Canal COM
mission and vesting the supreme gov
eminent of the canal zone, and control
over the canal work, in the hands Of
the President. The call for vote re-
suited in the passage of the bill by
119 ayes to 102 noes.
Representative Keifer was one of the
most determined opponents of the bill.
Mr.. Keifer urged that under the present
form Of government, namely by the
canal commission, the work in the zone
has been carried on most satisfactorily,
that the government of the zone has
been fair, and that under the direction
of Colonel Gorgas the sanitary work has
been most successfully conducted.

MEYER HAS HIS
OWN TROUBLES
PoStoffice Department Also Has
Need of Some Very Radical
Innovations.
By Ernest q. walker.
Mail Special to The Advertiser.)

Mail Special to The Advertiser.)
WASHINGTON, December 20.-Con.
gress is very averse to authorizing re-
organizations in the several depart
ments, even though it is recognized that
departmental organizations fossilize
every few years with the increase in
business and the inevitable changes in
the character of work to be done. The
Legislators thus drive cabinet officers to
distraction and roundabout ways are
sought to accomplish what congress
ought to do by direct enactments.
Just now Secretary Knox is not the
only cabinet official laboring under this
particular difficulty. The secretary of
the navy is trying to get his bureaus
reorganized as has been widely told.
But that followed after very earnest
efforts had been made to get congress
to legislate. Bill after bill had been
introduced for the reorganization, only
to be allowed to sleep in some Of the
thousands of cubbyholes which congress
has for unpopular measures.
Then when the secretary gets before
a house or senate committee with any
plan of reorganization which he finds
he can administer without legislation
he is asked if he knew that was not
original but had been advocated by this
or that congressman. Secretary Meyer
had that experience the other day with
the naval affairs committee, where he
had been called to testify about the
recent sweeping changes in the admin
istration of the bureaus.
1t was only about twelve years ago
that congress did reorganize the ac-
counting system Of the treasury depart.
ment but in the interim the treasury
business has outgrown the reforms then
made and efforts to have changes, that
were much needed for the proper ad.
ministration of the treasury, incor-
porated into Jaw have in the main
failed.
An archaic system of account keep
ing has prevailed in the postoffice de-
partment. 1t was good when installed,
but new and improved methods have
been devised and in that department,
too, the business has grown way beyond
the bounds in the days when the ac.
counting system was first put into
force. Commissions of congressman
galore have deliberated over that and
other features of postal administration,
but, apart from the publication Of
bulky reports, practically nothing has
been done. The department officials
have instituted partial reforms and
congress has confined itself to grum-
bling because of the extravaganza in
the department.
The spirit of department reform and
reorganization has been strong under
this administration. The President has
favored it and his cabinet officers have
favored it. Congress, on the other
hand, is holding back and all along
the line departmental reorganization is
proving uphill work.
