ABOL|SH|NG THE
SPO|LS SYSTEM
win Politicians Attack New Civil
Service Idea

Just the other day the announce
ment was made that President Taft
would ask congress to place second
and third class postmasters under
civil service. Now 1t is added that
he will also propose that customs
and internal revenue collectors be
likewise removed from politics. The
project improves. The plan should
go still further. to include first-class
postmasters and federal marshals
The snatching Of second end third
class postmasters from the hands of
the politicians would be an attack
they would resist il they dared. The
further extension of the plan as sug-
gested would deal the spoils system
its death blow. The time is ripe for
just this action.
The federal service has for too
many years been used for the pro-
motion OF political careers. There is
scarcely a city that has not seen the
evil effects of system that congress
and the president should have abol-
ished generation ago. Now, at a
tine when voters are aligning them
selves upon new questions, when
political differences are being merged
and new ones developed, II would be
a favorable time for the government
to take q step that enlighted public
sentiment would heartily approve

Do WOMEN WAN
RIGHT To VOTE
Michigan Editor Willing to Give
Il 10 Them

The riglt Of suffrage as we under
stand ii, is what every woman wants,
next to pony coat, pale blue opera
cloak, a serge suit and dinner
gown. There are other things she
wants, too, sucn as a new rug for the
dining-room, high priced e'ectric
lamp for the library table and a piano
player. II she wasn't all the time
wanting something, she wouldn't be
a woman.
Just why a woman wants a pony
coat or a pale blue opera cloak We
never could understand, any more
than we can understand why she
wants a new rug for the dining-room.
Anyone with half an eve can see
that the present dining-room rug Is
all right. It's been our dining-room
rug for the last l 5 years, and though
IL is a trifie bare and sere in spots
nobody ever complained OF the meals
served on that account
Wanting things is womans chief
forte, and gratifying her wants + {.
mans chief occupation. Il il wasn't
for the things woman wants, man
wouldn't ned TO smoke scent tobacco
in 25-cent pipe. He wouldn't have
TO wait for ascent shirt sale sor half
of sales in hand-me-downs. IL II
wasn't for woman's wants there
would be no 10-cent lunch counters
for the busy man. no faded velvet
collars on last years overcoats and
no dollar hat stores.
It's woman's wants that have
created the two-ounce packages OF
smoking for a nickel, the serve-self
eating house. and the Ascent shirt.
And now to show that our heart Is
In the right place. if she really wants

Stage Children.

Theatrical managers are TO hold al
meeting in New York this week for
the purpose Of enlightening the pub
lie in regard to stage children. The
laws in many states are now oppres-
sive, and an effort will be made TO
have them amended. Stage children,
as a matter OF fact, are more favored
by conditions than almost any other
class OF the juvenile population. and
yet they are virtually treated as de-
linquents by the authorities. They
are well paid, their education is not
necessarily neglected, and their wage
Is many times larger than that of the
average minor engaged in Industrial
pursuits. There is no doubt, how
ever. that some sort OF supervision.
is necessary TO keep immature girls
and boys out of theatrical companies
OF a certain class. where the tone is
low and where the tendency would be
demoralizing. But there are COM
paratively few such companies, and
it is unfair 10 make responsible man
ayers OF respectable attractions suf-
fer for the shortcomings OF an oeca-
sional offender against the decencies
OF life. Permits for children TO act
upon a stage where the atmosphere
Is wholesome and the environment
clean. should be granted as a matter
Of course. Indeed, permits might be
issued automatically, like liscense
TO trade, the work OF preventing
abuses being left to inspectors.
Several seasons ago in New York. a
whole troop OF children were arbi-
trarily taken from the cast OF cur
rent attraction. They had been used
simply as part OF the picture In a
street scene, and were on the stage
only five minutes at each perform
ance. The management took them
to and from the theatre In an omni-
bus and they were each paid 81 a
week. A subsequent investigation
showed that without one exception
these children attended school before
the society's interference, and that
more than half Of them went 10 9th.
