DIPLOMACY AND THE DoUGHBAG.

The Montgomery Advertiser is always
digging up mean things to say about
the Republicans. Not content with
having kicked the Bull Moose and the
Bull Whale around all summer, 1t
points out that in the investigation
Of the methods OF raising campaign
funds by the Republican party in 1905
the sale of foreign ambassadorships
for political axle-grease was clearly
established.
There was L.arz Anderson. now min
lister TO Belgium. who dropped $4,000
into the plate: there was old Whitelaw
Reid. now ambassador TO England. who
parted with $4,000. Robert Bacon the
Bull Moose's Bob" and late ambassa-
dor TO France. was LEI down with
$1,000 Richard c. kerens. now ambas-
sador TO Austria Hungary. gave $4,000.
while Myron T. Herrick. the presen;
ambassador to France. topped the LIST
with a cool 100000.

the Taft mandate had not issued, on
and after March 4. 1913. President
Wilson would have been besieged with
would-be postmaster; they would. as
Artemus Ward described similar
situation when Lincoln went into Of
nce, have come down the chimney to
beg the President for the postmaster
ship at Bear Wallow or Fingerville.
Nigh unto" 10000 Democratic Of
fceseekers will be barred from the
pie counted by the Taft order but the
Democrats laugh last and laugh best.
Because of this postmasters' declara-
ton of independence. the Democratic
President will not have to be worried
with a million petitions and letters
from would-be postmasters. nor will
the executive Offices be packed with
them and their friends and their Con-
gressmen. There will be just about
500. 900 people less to be made mad by
the appointment Of the other appli-
cants; and the man who kicks because
ne hasn't a post-office will have to
register his protest against the Re-
publicans, and not the Democrats. In
the meantime. the President can de-
vote0the time he used to give TO petit
tions to weightier matters. to thinking
over public politics and to ponderins
questions of State. He can think more
about the people and less about the
postmasters. He will no longer have to
be just q care-worn appointive ofiicer:
he can go his way unsought and un-
shot by officeseekers.
Yes. the fourth-class postmasters are
all Republicans. but the fact that they
are will aid powerfully in permitting
the nation to have a frst-class Demo-
cratic President. And the Democrats
will have their day.

FURTHER BACK THAN MARSHALL.

In a recent magazine article discuss
ing the question Of Recall OF Judges.
the writer argues that had the system
OF recall been in operation during the
first half Of the last century, SO that
the adverse public sentiment could have
been brought to bear officially on Chief
Justice Marshall. and his confreres OF
the Supreme Court Of the United States,
they would probably have been re-
moved from office, and the mastery
line of decisions which adorn our
Jurisprudence and which made US a
nation would have been stified." That
proposition hardly admits of argu-
ment.
A contemporary, in noting our maya
zine writer's conclusion. pays a tri-
butte to Virginia as having first vindi-

While we would detract nothing
from the far-reaching effect of Mar

does not go back far enough Before

he presided. Chancellor wythe, in

RIcHMoND.s CABINET MEETS.

at the very nrst meeting Oh "os VI
Ainslie's recently instituted cabinet Of
department heads ample proof wai
given of its great possibilities for ex'
pediting and co-ordinat!pg city work
More light was thrown on pressins
municipal problems in this single gath
ering than could have been gasnS from
months of Council meetings ov ~sse iso-
lated actions Of separate committees.
Each committee acts on its own ini-
tiative and for what it judges are the
best interests Of the city so far as its
own field is concerned. But hitherto
there has been no method by which
cooperation and simultaneous action
between different departments could be
secured. The new method Of consulta-
ton and conference will furnish
happy solution of this question.
The underlying cause Of much OF the
friction between departments was
pointed out at this first meeting. 1t
is due in no wise to differences in aim
Of the departments. but to the fact that
they are controlled in expenditures by
Council committees. When money has
been appropriated for street improve
ments, no provision has been made for
the simultaneous extensi On or rebuild
ing OF sewers, water mains, gas pipes
or electrical equipment. On the other
hand. when provision is made for these
extensions. the streets cannot be re-
built at the same time. because the
funds are not yet available. The rem
edy is obviously to appropriate money
for all work to be done at one time.
The fundamental way Of relieving
many costly and inconvenient delays
was declared to be a general revision
and coordination OF the existing res
ulations for city construction. Not
only are the departments hampered by
the diverse authority Of several COM
mittees. but also by the fact that they
are compelled to work under obsolete
or inadequate ordinances.
The movement to devise a means for
eapediting city cases in the Police
Court is a step in the right direction
Too long have the departments been
hindered by failure to get Immediate
action forcing offenders against the
city to comply with the requirements
OF the departments. Both the Health
ONCE and the Building Inspector have
been hampered by this type " delay.
incidentally it is to be hoped that some
action with regard to holding dilatory
contractors to the time limits fixed in
their contracts will be taken. The city
is tired of having work delayed because
the firm granted the contract has been
unable to get material to finish its
work 1t is poor economy 20 accept
bids that are so low as to prevent the
speedy and satisfactory completion II
city work.
Mayor Ainslie is to be congratulated
upon the immediate success Of his in
novation. The department heads show
praiseworthy spirit OF eager and en-
thusiastic cooperation Richmond

BEST EXERCISE FOR o M
Popularity Of Fencing Justified In Re-
sults That Follow Its Persistent
Practice.

Fencing Is always popular with
women who have the leisure and the
opportunity to 60 through with the
required training, and lately it has be-
come v e more the fashion with
women prominent in society. Even
during the summer, while they were
away at their country or seaside
homes, many women kept UP the4r
fencing lessons, having the instruc-
tor come to their homes for the pur-
pose. .'...
Ali experts in physical training rate
Fencing as the best possible means of
exercise for women. 1t ranks with
swimming and rowing in that 1t gives
all the development needed without
making the muscles too heavy, as do
some of the other sports. For the
woman of today who longs above
everything else to be slender and sup.
lple, It IL the ideal exercise. Those
women who are SO faithful to their
fencing lessons have discovered that
IA brisk half hour with the foils is
more effective in keeping their hg.
ures girlishly 1.-the and slender than
q half day spent at heavier and less
graceful forms of EXERCISE.
