Administration Gives Notice that II
VIII Keep Out of Politics.
From the Philadelphia Public Ledger
While factions are fighting. the Pres
ident and his Cabinet go right along
attending to the public business The
order extending the civil service rules
TO assistant postmasters is notice that
the administration intends 10 keep out
of politics.
The extent of Federal patronage was
materially reduced when some l5OCO
first-class postmasters were included In
the classified service. The present order
includes about 5000 more Federal ofice-
holders who are thus exempted from
merely political appointment or removal
and subjected 10 the restraints OF the
civil service law
IL is noteworthy that Postmaster Gen
eral Hitchcock. who was regarded as
the practical politician OF the Cabinet. Is
the only one who has been most rigidly
applying business methods and econ
omies to his great department It is
on his advice that the President will
recommend 10 Congress that second and
third class postmasters also shall be in
cluded under the civil service rules.
This viii mean. in effect, that practi-
cally the whole of the postal service
shall be put upon a permanent business
basis and removed from the pernicious
activities Of politics. II is a voluntary
surrender by the administration OF the
power OF controlling political combina-
tons through its most widely dis
tributed patronage. Mr.. Taft does not
use many words about reform" but as
practical civil service reformer his
record Will be found written clear in
administrative acts

POLITICAL COMMENT.
Best Hope of Democracy.


From the Dallas Morning News
To our minds. the best hope OF the De-
mocracy is in the chance that the Re-
publican party will repudiate Mr.. Roose-
welt and his ideas. If II should do that in
a notable degree. the Democratic party
could Immediately. easily. and naturally
become the exponent OF orderly and pro-
gressive reform. And orderly and progress
siye reform is the policy that is consonant
with the desires Of an overwhelming ma
jority OF the people in this country with
out much regard TO party affiliations. Mr.
Rooseyelt's party attachment might be
proof against such reputation. but
whether, under those circumstances, he
would remain loyal TO the Republican
party or not hundreds of thousands who
are now insurgent Republicans would be-
come Democrats once they had this proof
that progressive reform policies have no
chance Of adoption by the Republican
party as a whole.

Japan's Effort.

Of the leading citizens of Nippon have

Democratic Blunder at Rochester.

In choosing a candidate for governor OF
New York, the Democrats convention at
Rochester showed a pitlful lack OF cour-
age and appreciation OF the opportunity
knocking at the door. The demand was
for a strong man. OF character and
achievements and Statewide reputation.
and in answer 10 that demand. after a
spectacle OF hesitation and conjuring up
cowardly partisan fears, the choice has
fallen upon a perfectly clean and hon
orable man-John A. Dix-but a man Of
undemonstrated qualities. and compar-
atively unknown 10 the voters OF the
Commonwealth.

Except for the general moralities at the

not have written a more conservative
