1t has been known here for some
time that Newark financial condi-
tons were in a bad way. Mead,
who came to the league meetings
boastful of his gameness and of the
money he had at his command to
devote to baseball, has quit cold e.
Small crowds, a losing team and pay
days long past, were too much for
him. Now the question is, "Will
Newark he able to continue alone or
will the league have to step in and
run the team?'

That Impu dent Civil Service.

MI. vernon Record.J
For a good many years the editor of
the Record was a strong believer in
civil service. But after seeing its eff
feet we have changed. Theoretically it
is right. Practically the average civil
service employee is of small bore, and
the TACT that he is protected makes
nm arrogant and unaccommodating.
Should complaint be lodged against
him the whole civil service bureau
seems to feel that it has been attacked.
and 1t is very difficult TO get a legiti-
mate complaint acted on The effect
IS particularly noticeable in the post
offices of the larger cities. No class OF
men are quite SO disgustingly indepen-
dent OF the public as the average post
office employee in the larger offices
\ ct the public is paying him his salary.
The employe of the smaller office. how
ever. where he knows his job depends
on doing his work 10 suit the pubic
much oftener strives 10 accommodate.
This is the practical workings of civil
service Possibly the fault lies, not in
the theory but in the impractical work
ing out Of the theory 1t may be that
practical man Will get hold II the
civil service end of the government,
and will give a practical administration
Of affairs. If he does there will be
either a great Improvement in their
work by present employees or general
out of employees.

a man Of upright conduct; he had be-
come a pillar in the church; he was re-
spected by old and young. And In eV-
cry minute of the time since his first
misstep he was thief and whited
sepulchre.
The mental torture which this double
life exacted from the man must have
been well-nigh unbearable. His
every minute must have been one OF
dread of the Damocles' sword of expos
ure. Conscience must have smitten
him at the recollection that so trusted
was he that his mere word was taken
in lieu of an examination of the books
which would have instantly uncovered
his wretched work. Now in the ruin
of his character and the impoverish-
ment of those who implicitly put their
trust in him he feels the less a criminal
because he is stripped of the mask he
has worn. In the shadow of the prison
he breathes the freer because he is no
longer under the necessity of deceiving
others as he has deceived himself. The
penalty exacted by an outraged human
law IS not nearly so fearful as the toll
taken by a violated conscience.
Il is not difficult to make ones moral
bookkeeping cover deficits of character.
But sooner or later comes the newt
able, demanding an audit. And that
means moral bankruptcy

Passing of the Gum Shoe

them selves on never letting anybody

number of them in the senate. There

Hale will be succeeded in the upper
house by a dem ocrat. OF the four
members OF the lower house the dem
ocrats have elected two and the change
Of few hundred votes would have
given them all four. The significance
of the upheaval is the more striking
when it is remembered that Maine
went thru the greenback and populst

factions are fighting each other so vic
iously that there is little chance Of rail-
lying for effective defense Of the party
record In fact, one of the factions,
sometimes the dominant one, is COM
mttted to an offensive campaign
against the national record of the par
ty. Under these circumstances, 1t Is
idle to predict republican success. The
natural fruit OF insurgency must be
reaped first. The natural fruit of re-
publican insurgency is democratic sue
cess.
The democratic party Is not in the
best Of shape to take advantage of its
opportunity, but the affairs of the par
ty should improve rapidly from now
on. The band wagon is in sight and 1t
is a democratic vehicle. In every state
and in every congressional district
where there is open or smoldering Inc
surgent sentiment the democrats will
be encouraged to close up their ranks
and get in shape to profit by the re-
publican plight, as their brethren in
Maine were able to profit. The virtual
certainty that the democrats will be
the majority party in the next house
will serve as an argument for the
election of democratic rather than In
surgent representatives. 1t would be
tough on the insurgents to be left at
home as the result Of the mlx-up they
promoted, but they may find difficulty
in combating the proposition that IN
a democratic house a democratic rep
resentative would be more useful than
a mere insurgent of the minority party.

WHEN BANKRUPTCY COMES.
mason CITY Times1.

Twenty-Five ye2-s ago. to conceal
small shortage caused by unfortunate
speculation, the treasurer Of savings
bank in a Maine city made a false en-
try. The plan was successful No
one questioned the accuracy of the
books. The treasurer sent more of
the banks funds after that already
lost in the hope Of recouping his for
tunes. The books were doctored some
more.
For a quarter of century this treas
urer kept up the deception. Meantime
he became more heavily involved and
the banks affairs with him. The me
vitable happened. The exposure which
he dreaded came at last end the
banks affairs and personal reputation
went down in hopeless ruin. The treas
urer, under arrest, expresses satisfac-
ton that even if he stands before his
townspeople as a criminal he has been
able to throw aside the hypocrisy
which has ma sked his life for twenty
five long years. In the course or that
period he had builded reputation as
