EXTENnING THE cIVM sERYIcE.

ID REPRESENTATIVE NORRIS, leader of the
IN Republican progressivcs in the House at
Washington, has introduced a bill placing every
cmployc OF the Postohice Department. except the
postmaser-gcneral, under the classified civil ser
vice. Il is unlikely that the measure will become
a law az present. but the time is not far distant
when some such measure will be passed. The
tendency is an in that direction
Mr. Norris in presenting the bin asserted that
the Postoiice Department had become a huge
political machine used by the party which hap
pens TO be in control as a means for dominating
party organizations. File asserted that the roll
call of a Republican convention nowadays sounds
like list of second-cass postmasters and every
Republican state committee has poslolhce employees
for two-thirds of It's members.
This may be true of some states with which Rep
rescutatiye Norris is familiar, but it is not true
of Delaware Posmasters in Delaware have
little to do with party organizations and nothing to
do with the state committee.
Ii is popularity supposed that The civil service
rules at present prevent postmasters and other
Federal officials from taking an active part in pol-
tics.
The bill introduced by Mr. Norris also provides
for a graduated scale of salaries Of postmasters
based on the receipts OF their Offices This, he
thinks would result in the saving annually of al
most a million dollars. lt is a good provision
The tendency az present is to narrow the field
Of political spoils in the interest of more efficient
service by state or national governmental en-
ployes

EFFECT OF PERSISTENT WORK.

correspondent of the New York Sun for putting
one over on the political leaders of the state An
alert body Of men possessed of shrewdness in po-
tical affairs can often accomplish wonders
Ohio is to have a constitutional convention and
the leaders of the old parties have awakened to
the fact thar the Single Takers will practically be
in control Of the convention, or more properly
speaking the advocates of the initiative refer
endum and recall will be in control provided that
the delegates chosen live up to their pledges
The campaign, according to this story, was work
ed up under the guise of non-partisan fight
against Legislative graft. Neither Of the old par
ties put up tickets of delegates to the convention.
The only active force was the Non-Partisan Con-
stitudonal League This league, according to the
Suns correspondent was made up Of followers of
Henry George and a 'conglomeration of iaddists
who are always running after something new"
The league worked everywhere in the schools,
churches and oranges with the result that it
elected a majority OF delegates to the convention.

now said 70 be prevailing among the conservatives
and the Convention will be distrusted' The Single
Takers of course think that with the initiative and
referendum they viii be able to place the Single

of great anxiety TO him to know that

Should however, the Democrats name Governor

the Republicans renomiuate President Taft. the
chances are that a new party would be formed
Should the Republicans nominate LaFonette and
