DEAD DUCy<s.

Commenting on the statement OF
the Philadelphia Record that the SUI
preme Court is no place to take care
OF the beaten and oftentimes dis
credited men who have failed Of re-
election to Congress, and that it IS all
we'll enough to put such men in the
consular or diplomatic service, the
Nirginia-Pilot says:
1T is not 'all we'll enough to take
care or such men even in the consular
service. The trouble with that service
is now and has long been the ten
dency. If not tile rule, to fill 1t with
political dead ducks or the worth
less relatives and henchmen of in
f,uenttal political live ones, to the ex-
cluslon Of energetic men of such train
ing and experience as properly fit
them to discharge the duties of Il
consular official"
This discussion was brought about
by the rumor that United States Sen
ator Thomas H. Carter, of Montana,
who has failed Of recollection, is being
considered by President Taft for the
United States Supreme Court.
There can be mo question of the
fact that there are too many dead po-
litical ducks in government positions
at the present time. Especially is this
true of the consular service, where
mediocre men are to be found in
plenty. Some one has we'll said that
a statesman Is dead politician" and
this might be applied equally well to
many of our consular representatives..
Able men are kept out of the service
by reason of the custom Of appoint
ing unsuccessful politicians. Just be-
cause he is not favored by the cleo
torate of Kokomo, Indiana, or Crow
Hollow, N. c., a man is deemed to have
first claim on the consulship to Naples
or Bordeaux.
We have never understood why the
failure of election on the part of any
man entitled him to appointive public
office. What he has done, not what
he has not done, ought to be the basis
of selection employed in the case OF
candidates for such Office. Political
defeat ought not to be the source of a
right to public office.

, TALE OF Two TEACHERS.

Two men were seated in one of the
parlors OF the Westmsreland Club dur
ing the noon hour yesterday One was
a Northern man and the other a South
ern man Both We're Presbyterians,
one preacher and the other prac-
titioner. and both eminent for their
work in the GAUGE of education. They
were talking to each other about the
problems they have to solve, the diff
culties in the way. the ends TO be ac-
complished and the means necessary to
the success of the work they have in
hand. One of these teachers has upon
his soul the building UP OF a race out
OF twilight zone, and the other is
burning out his life seeking the in
tellectual expansion of the higher race.
with two thousand years of civilization
behind it. One OF these teachers was
DIR. H. E. Frissell. President of Hamp-
ton Institute. and the other was Dr.
Edwin "A. Alderman. President of the
University of Virginia.
1t was pleasing thing to see them
together, these two schoolmasters, In
tent only upon the service they might
render in the republic of letters in
which they are sunorowned and to
which they have pledged their lives.
We wish we knew exactly what they
Were saying to each other and could
reproduce in this place the great
schemes they have in mind for the
larger growth of the cause committed
to them and to their fellows who are
engaged in the same high work. This
is the sort of thing that means some
thing-these quiet little conferences
between men who arc in earnest, men
who have no personal axes to grind,
who only wish to help in building up
the citizenship of this country, so that
every man in it will be worthy of 1t.

AN AMENDMENT TO THE PLAT
FORM,

The Virginian Pilot calls our atten-
ton to the fact that in outlining the,
subjects to be considered by the State
Democratic Convention we neglected
to include the abolition OF the fee
system This is certainly matter
on which the party should take
definite stand. and our contemporary
is correct in the opinion that mad
vertence on our part is responsible for
the omission The yirginian-Pilot is
also right when ii declares that every
candidate for the Legislature ought
to commit himself on this Issue before
election.
a plank in the platform on this
abuse would have the effect of uniting
the party on this matter. The fee
system is undemocratic and the Demo-
cratic platform ought to declare firmly
against it,
The system is an abuse which grows
greater every year and it ought to be
destroyed.

He has casting vote In the Senate in

chief Importance Of the office consists
in the fact that the Vice President Is
