Several thousand rural free delivery
letter carriers are barred from active
participation in politics by an execu-
tive order signed by President Taft at
Washington this week says an eastern
newspaper. The order forbids the
rural letter carrier from pernicious
activity in politics and empowers
the civil-service commission to dismiss
any of them found to be so erga ged.
The rural carriers, like all mail clerks
and other post-office employees, are not
to be denied the right of political be-
lief and discussion of candidates and
issues, but their active participation
in political affairs will be stopped.
The term "rerniclous activity in poli-
tics" is an elastic one and it in the
past has worked Oh other cl.:sses of
federal employees as an efectual oar TO
politics.

The feeling grows among the shrewd
business men of New York and the
country that all the harm politics can
do has been amply discounted, and
that the United States is to have better
business conditions this year than it
has been the fashion of late to expect,
says an exchange. That these are the
prophecies of fact aud not of hope we
all pray. Such business revival
would be In harmony with the pro-
cesses of shaking down and catching
up with undue stimulation of business
enterprises that have been manifest in
this country after former financial
panics. Certain it is that the prevalence
of a confident expectation of this kind
would start things moving at brlsAer
pace. All that seems to be needed is
the temper to do things.
