SHOESTRlNG ~DISTRICTING.

ea HERE has been some change in the congressional redistrict
ing plan adopted for the Republican majority in the Legis-
lature and introduced in the Senate last night, but the
shoestrng feature remains. A stranger piece of political patch
work has not been devised since the famous performance of a
Republican legislature years ago in dfstricting Hudson county
for the Assembly. What possible connection the three northern
wards of Newark have with the city of Bayonne and the Seventh
ward of Jersey City that they should be districted together is a
conundrum to be explained only in the fact that this crazy ar
rangement is intended to make a Republican majority in the new
district. But the present Ninth district was laid out for that
very purpose and except in a single instance it has elected Demo.
cratic congressman.

POLITICS IN THE STRIKE.

TN Mess some agreement shall be reached by the anthracite
u mine operators and the miners representatives before March
81 at noon the threatened great strike will be on and the
struggle begun. An event Of this kind ALWAYS enlsts the sym
pathies of the great army of labor and is a political Jritant for the
party in power. If there should be a prolonged strike the effect
would be most unfavorable for the administration and Mr.. Taft.
a fact well enough understood at Washington. And therein lies
the opportunity for the miners. If there can be found a way to
prevent the strike it will be diligently searched for by the Taft
managers

ROOSEVELT ON THE STUMP.

I is fair to say that Carnegie Hall in New York will be mobbed
next Monday night when Roosevelt appears to make his first
address in a campaign that will be memorable. But his audi
ence in Carnegie Hall will be the merest fraction of the vast Re.
publican audience that he will speak to outside the hall, for his
address will be read in every corner of the land. 1t is RooseveIts
purpose to visit the West and South. There is reason for appre-
hension that much of the work done by the sknful engineers of
the Taft campaign will be undone after Roosevelt gets down to
real business.

A LONG TINE TO WAIT.

GS HOSE sanguine advocates of woman suffrage who ioyfully
Ii look upon the reporting of a suffrage amendment resolution
IN the Legislature as the forerunner of the early adoption
OF a amendment by this State will scratch many gray hairs before
their hopes can possibly be realized. There are formidable OBJ
stacles in the way. In the last analysis, too, the New JERSEY
electorate is altogether unlike that of a Pacific coast State. 1t is
invlnclbly opposed to prohibition and there has been a sufficient
demonstration at the polls that it is no more favorable to the idea
of investing women with the ballot.

FOR FAIR SERVICE BY EXPRESS.

The big express companies readiness to agree to
some reforms in business is interesting but not sur
prising. The concerns acting because of the
revelations of their enormous profits and over
charges made by the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion, upon which the commission has begun prosecu-
tion. The companies are adopting the old scheme of
throwing spratt to catch whale 1t has worked
before; but this time it may we'll be doubted if they
can offer any substitute for thorough regulation.
Their proposal includes uniform receipts, new
waybills and reclassihcation of routes.
This does not 60 far enough. The bill which has
been reported by the House committee has provi-
sions which will protect the people and give them
fair return for charges. 1t fixes maximum rate to
be charged by express companies for packages of
eleven pounds and less, and forces the companies to
work in connection with the Postoffice Department
in handling certain classes of merchandise.
1t definitely provides that the companies must
accept packages which to be carried part OF
the way by their agents and then turned over to the
rural free delivery carriers for delivery and vice
versa =,
1t calls for cooperation from the companies along
the line of parcels post and if the companies re-
sist they will only help on the establishment Of

FIXING THE CIVIL SERVICE.

President Taft has come forward as civil serv-
ice reformer. He favors classification OF the higher
political posts and the protection of the tenure under
the civil service act. He thinks the civil service
ought to be taken out of politics.
Mr.. Taft being the particular gentleman who has
plunged the Federal officiary deeper into politics
and highly discredtable politics at that--than any
other Executive ever got it into, he would seem, at
least entitled to speak as one having authority on
this question OF getting it out Of politics. In view
of his of reforming zeal, let couple of sug-
gestions be presented, looking to improving civil
service conditions:
First, let Mr. Taft forthwith issue ORDERS and have
them enforced, against participation Of ali Federal
employees in politics
Let this include people of all ranks. Decree that
Federal attorneys marshals, court officials, and so
on, who serve as delegates to conventions or men,
bers of political committees shall by that service
signify their desire to leave the service, and shall
automatically be dropped as soon such political
relationship is known.
Direct that no offceholders are to be delegates or
aternateS in any Taft convention, and that if any
delegates come up to the Chicago convention, with
such political ancestry back of them they will lose
their Federal connections before they get chance to
vote in the nomination of President.
That would give pretty positive proof Of Mr..
TaftS purpose to take the ofciary out of politics.
Incidentally, it would deprive Mr.. Taft of the South
ern delegations, would make his denomination utterly
impossible, and therefore would be substantial
guarantee Of Republican success this year
Thus it would be fine, patriotic thing for Mr..
Taft to do.
This business about getting the civil service
independent of politics is about the cheapest play
that has been tried in the present campaign There
have recently been direct specific charges that office
holders in Louisiana have been assessed 10 per cent
of their salaries and that the Federal agents in office
distribution there have insisted that prospective ap-
pontees must promise to pay those assessments or
they could not be appointed. How about these
charges? They are supported by excellent authori-
ties, widely published, widely believed.
Let us have less pretense and hypocrisy about
the civil service, and more evidence of sincere pur.
pose to take it out of politics.
