Grover Cleveland was one presi-
dent who not only preached civil
service reform, but also practiced it.
Because he did not regard public pat
ronage as a perquisite of the presi-
Dental office, % be used to reward
his supporters, or, by withdrawing
it, TO punish his enemies, he made a
host of enemies within his own par
ty. But, although willing to sacri-
flee himself upon the altar Of what
he believed to be right, he made few
converts to his belief, and probably
the average American today still
subscribes to the doctrine Ito the
victor belongs the spoils.'

SAN BENITO AND THE FAIR.

tiles of the Midwinter Fair
which will be held, as usual,
in Brownsville this winter,
should leave nothing undone to
accord this city creditable rep
resentation at the Valley expo
sition. Anything worth doing
at all is worth doing well, so
San Benito should send a cred
liable exhibit to the Midwinter
Fair, or should send none at all.
A "San Benito Day" should
be a feature of the Midwinter
Fair, and there seems to us no
reason why such a day could
not be satisfactorily arranged.
If San Benito's cooperation is
properly welcomed by the fair
management the latter will be
glad to assist in promoting a
San Benito Day."-San Benito

There is no doubt that the fail
management would gladly welcome
such a suggestion. A series O

TEACHERS MAY WEAR
RELIGIOUS GARD
{ Continued From Page one

nation, to government control, and
to include in the transfer, all the
teachers who had been engaged in
this work in the sectarian schools
and to incorporate them as a whole
and as individuals in the classified
civil service of the government.
1t appears that out of 1000
teachers in the Indian schools there
are 81 who wear a religious garb
and who are regularly classified
members of the government civil
service. To direct them to give up
their religious garb would necessar-
lily cause their leaving the service
because of the VOWS under which
they have assumed that garb.
Religious Freedom Not Violated.
The secretary of the interior holds,
as a matter of congressional policy,
that all orders herafter made should
be directed toward securing the sec
ular and nonsectarian character OF
teaching; that this is the evident
purpose of congress from its legisla-
ton. He holds, further, that the
wearing Of a distinctive religious
garb is not, as claimed by some be-
fore him, a violation Of any consti-
tutional limitation in respect to re-
iligion. He therefore finds that to
allow the present members of the
civil service to wear a distinctive
garb to remain in the service until
such time as their service may end,
either by resignation, separation for
cause, disability, or by death, is not
forbidden by existing law or statute,
and that while the method OF trans
fers was a mistaken one, the circum-
stances surrounding them constitute
an equity in favor of those who arc
now in the service wearing the garb.

Will Forbid Garb Hereafter.

On the other hand, he finds that
a regulation f%orbidding the wearing
of such a garb by teachers to be here
after appointed would be equitable,
reasonable and within the authority
of the secretary of the interior to
prescribe. In the exercise of his
lawful discretion as secretary of the
interior, therefore, he believes 1t
wiser that hereafter no such trans
.fers in solido of school plant and
teachers Of any denomination to he
government school should be made,
and that no set of teachers wearing
distinctive religious garb should be
by order in the future Incorporated
into the government civil service OF
teachers. His opinion Is that, while
it is neither unlawful or impossible
for teachers in a distinctly religious
garb to do nonsectarian teaching, 1t
makes as between denominations in
terested that only secular teaching
be given, for more apparent equality
of treatment not to increase or to
add to those now in the service who
wear a religious or UNCONVENTIONAL
garb. No order or rule, therefore,
seems necessary to carry this pur-
pose Of the secretary into effect.
Not to Revive Revoked Order.
The action Of the secretary Of the
interior is to maintain the status
quo by refusing to revive the order
which was revoked, and by retaining
in the service those now engaged in
teaching, althoug wearing a dis
tinctive religious garb, but to de-
clare his intention strictly to pursue
the policy hereafter of maintaining
only nonsectarian teaching by gov
eminent teachers in government
schools. and on the other hand, to
leave to the various denominations
interested, full opportunity, out Of
regular school hours in the rooms Of
such government schools, to conduct
religious education according to the
customs and the tenets Of each de-
nomination for the children, who
themselves or through their parents
have elected to become members Of
such denominations.
The action of the secretary of the
interior IS, therefore, approved.
