An Opportunity for Reform.

All this scandal about trafhcking in
Offices by President who seeks renoni-
nation-and in many respects it has
been a scandal in more administrations
than one-might be avoided by the en-
actment of law placing a large ma
iority of the Federal positions under
the civil service law. Postmasters, col
lectorS of internal revenue and customs,
marshals, and, in fact, all similar offices,
might well be taken out Of the Presi-
dental jurisdiction.
Legislation to this effect has already
been suggested by President Taft, and
Congress can accomplish the reform. II
would be wise measure. 1t would
take these places out of politics, it
would materially curtail the power of
the President, and it would forever pre-
vent the distribution of Offices as an
adjunct to Presidential ambition.
Why does not Congress act?

Weather News by Wireless.

The Weather Bureau is now reported
as undertaking a system of weather re-
ports which has been too long delayed.
1t is now proposed, according TO pub
lished statements, to use the wireless
system of telegraphy in forwarding TO
the bureau the conditions of the weather
in the heretofore inaccessible regions
of the ocean.
In the vast spaces that stretch be-
tween Europe and this country, and in
the storm-producing area of the Carib-
bean Sea there are atmospheric disturb
ances OF which no warning can be given
unless, as is now suggested. the data
IS sent by wireless from ships at sea.
When the new system has been in
stalled it will be possible to forecast
incoming storms with accuracy and thus
afford opportunity for precautionary
measures.
In thus adapting a new invention to
the benefit of mankind. the Weather
Bureau indicates practical progressive
ness. although the wonder is that the
work was not undertaken long ago.

Retrocession.

Citizens of Alexandria County, Va,
are again seeking TO secure the retro
cession of that part of their territory
which was once included in the District
of Columbia. Their petition, signed by
voters and property holders through
the county. asks that the President use
his Offices with Congress TO bring about
|retrocession and the re-establishment of
the original lines. In this petition they
express their willingness to sacrifice
their political rights for what they term
the better conditions under District
rule.
Many questions, constitutional, legal.
and political, attach to the issue raised
by this petition. President Taft once
said he was in favor of the step. Many
of the members of Congress are known
to be in sympathy with it, and the prof.
ect is by no means impossible of sc-
complishment On the contrary, with
the consent OF all concerned. the re-
establishment OF the DiStrict Dounoaries
could be effected with ease and dispatch.
1t is likely, however, that obstacles will
be placed in the way of the realization
of the scheme. In fact, the practical
working out of the plan presents so
many difficulties that the intuition of
many nien, especially on this side of
the Potomac, is to let it alone.
1t has been suggested that the Gre
alton OF municipal form OF govern
ment for Alexandria County would
best solve the question of administra-
ton in that territory. Some such plan
has possibly more to recommend it to
the judgment of men than the retro
cession of territory to the District

What viii Other Governments Do

The United States has formally
warned its citizens to fee from Mexi-
co, advising them that it is not the in
tention of this country to afford them
protection and indicating purpose to
let the Mexicans struggle with their in
ternccine war.
But what are the other governments
going to do about their citizens who
are residing within the Mexican boz
ders? Will they take the same attitude,
or will they. by demonstration of
force, compel the Mexican government
to afford protection to their citizens:
The question is an important one.
Upon its answer depends the integrity
of the Monroe doctrine And will for
eign nations agree to preserve the spirit
of this doctrine at the expense of what
may happen to their citizens who are
quietly pursuing the avocstions of life
under the Mexican flag?
