CLERKS SHOULD GET TO WORK.

The seven-year-tenure proposition is dead 1t will
not be included in or tackled on to any legislation
that the present members of Congress may have to
do with. They have sounded public opinion and
found they we're out of harmony with every clear
headed analyst of Government employment. They
may not be satisfied, but they must have been con-
vinced.
The Times ever since the day the reversion to
the ancient spoils system was proposed has con-
sistently and continually fought the plan. 1t has
pointed out its dangers and set forth its
The effectiveness of its efforts in conjunction with
other influences is evidenced by the fact that no
reference will be made to the scheme in the redraft
of the appropriation BILL
The threat Of defamation has no doubt had a
retardng effect on the efforts of Government clerks
to better their own conditions The danger is passed
now and every employe of the Government should
begin where he left off the agitation for revision of
salary lsts for old age provisions and for the all
round improvement of conditions and service. In
this effort the clerks can as always count on the
warmest cooperation from The Times.

Nagel has ordered the admission into

The Secretary's action followed a Wig

Mrs. Risk and her two children were
being held in Marseilles as victims of
graft and collusion. Steamship officials
refused them passage because of their
belief that Mrs. Risk and her son Mike

JANE adams DECISION.

In an announcement denying she will take any
part in an official capacity assisting the Republican
national committee although she is for Tafts reeec
ton, Miss label Boardman, president Of tine National
Red Cross, takes occasion to criticise Miss Jane
Adams for identifying herself with the Progressive
party. ...
Miss Boardman holds it is improper for any
woman connected with a great social work, as is
Miss Addams, to utilize her influence and the influ-
ence of the movement she represents to the further
ing of the fortunes of any political party
This is the old theory-that reformers must con-
fine their efforts to improve conditions to empty
declarations. They must not resort to anything prac-
teal in order to bring about the beterment for which
they are striving
The passage of laws their enforcement and their
interpretation-upon all of which every social and
industrial reform must depend for its success-shoud
be left to professional politicians, to Big Business
to Bosses to Special Privilege, all of which inAu-
ences are against every reform, whether it be the
stamping out of the white slave traffic, abolition of
child labor, proper mine inspection, or the reduction
of the human scrap heap.
Jane Adams, in her many fights in Chicago, as
we'll before the Boss governed Special Privilege.
owned legislatures of Illinois, has learned the futty
of trying to get social industrial reforms through
the medium of either of the old partes-or il Sc.
cured by legislation, of getting the laws enforced BY
local bosses mankins or getting the privilege-con
troled courts to sustain them. s.
The way to get things done is to do them By
throwing her influence and the influence of all socia
betterment workers to the Progressive party, Miss
Addams is going to accomplish more in the next fou
years than she and her associates have been able
accomplish in the last sixteen years. What they are
able to get through the Progressive party drect,
they going to be given by either of the old parties
in an effort to divide honors with the Progressive
party.
So long as the powers of invisible government
the forces that exploit, can keep and women wht
want reform from effectualy organizing and throw
ing their influence where it will count just so lon,
can greed remain intrenched.

CONGRATULATED.

President Taft vetoed the bill reducing the tariff
on wool upon the ground that to lessen the protec-
ton averaging l3O per cent would so cripple the
textile manufacturers they would be obliged to re-
duce the wages of their employees, which average
SS.76 week ..
Up to date the most fulsome congratulation Pres.
ident Taft has received for his defense of the work
ing classes comes from the manager of an English
owned textile factory in tns nation who is now under
criminal indictment for importing cheap foreign labor

Mail Bag
He Says That the De Lacy Appoint
ment Is Misrepresented In the
Congressional Record.

To the Editor Of THE TIMES:
Frank J. Parke, in letter to The
Washington Times, expresses doubt and
uncertainty of the reappointment of
Juvenile Court Judge De Lacy by the
President; says he does not know the
reason, and does not understand; says
he believes he voices the sentiment Of
the majority of the bona fide' citl-
zens of Washington in the hope Of
Judge De Lacy's reappointment. but
admits that he Is not aware of the
names or qualifications of the other as
pirants."
Mr. Parke seems to be admittedly un-
qualified to speak in the matter.
He adds, however. that the position of
Juvenile Court Judge does not call for
one profoundly learned in the law
but simply a man OF kindly heart. sym
pathy, and not soured-Just a nice.
clean, manly, moral man, and that. Of
all things, he does know that all the
people know that Judge De Lacy Is
just such a man.
Has Mr.. Parke read the recent reso-
lutions of the Lutheran Ministerial As
sociation of Washington and their peti-
| ton to the President and the Senate
against the reappointment of Judge De
| Lacy? II he has not. ne certainly should
| do so-and everybody else.
The Lutheran resolutions and petit
ton are based upon fact-the record OF
the Juvenile Court itself; and, therefore.
Official. cannot be controverted, and are
| on file now with the Judiciary Commit
| tee of the Senate, where all can see
them and should, for they are an as
founding revelation of reasons against
| De Lacy's reappointmeft.
| Through some unaccountabie leger-
| demain, the said Lutheran resolutions
and petition appeared in the Congress
| sional Record of June Is, 1912, as actu-
ally favoring De Lacy's reappointment
They were and are squarely against It.
7 The Lutherans seeking the correction

canery, SO that now the Congressional

resolutions and two petitions-one al
for and one as against the reappoint'
ment of Judge De Lacy, when, in fact

dated June IA, 1912 alag Day., and
that one trickily appearing in the Con

DENIALs NOW IN ORDER.

The announcements of the Progressive party lead
of their intention to make every candidate for
Congress 60 on record as to whether he is for
Roosevelt and tine Progressive principles is met
with the that it is unlawful for any candidate
for Congress to promise his support to anyone in
order to secure votes for himself
However, any candidate has the right to refuse
to support Roosevelt and Progressive principles
There is no law against that and it will satisfy the
people quite well. All the people want to know is
where candi -ates stand. Candidates may express
their position in negative terms just plainly in
positive terms and thus avoid legal technicalites.
Now, then, let all candidates for Congress- who
want to be square with the people and also square
with the law, tell who they are NOT for.

HAS BEEN DONE BEFORE.

Speaking of the Atlantic City conference Of
Pennsylvania Taft men, called together by Senator
Penrose, Tafts lieutenant which conference wanted
Chairman Wasson, of the Pennsylvania Republican
State committee, to resign, Chairman Wasson says:
will not resign as Republican State chairman.
will not take orders from any Atlantic City conference.
They do not for President Taft or his success
President Taft knows exactly what am doing, and he
is satisfied with it. am in constant communication
with Chairman Hilles who is managing the Presidents
campaign, and he approves of my stand.
So Penrose wants the chairman with whom Taft
Is pleased to resign while the chairman, who is in
close touch with Taft says Penrose is traitor to
Taft and that Penrose shall not have anything to say
about the Taft campaign in Pennsylvania.
Well, such things have been After Lorimer
carried his district for Taft in the Illinois primaries
and it was the only one Taft carried by the way, r
the whole State, he caught Taft trying to deny his
friendship and openly pretending hostility to him ir
order to carry favor with the people.
So, after all Penrose has done for Taft, we have
no cause for surprise if we learn that Taft is now
quietly greasing the toboggan for Penrose. And a:
for Penrose-well, he would not 60 down with the

REORGANIZED PANAMA CANAL BILL.

The conferees on the Panama canal bill have
agreed to drop out the provision giving free passage
to American vessels in foreign trade. This removes
the ground for British opposition Our coastwise
shipping continues to enjoy free passage; but this
does not discriminate, because foreign vessels are
barred from coastwise traffic in any event

TWO PEAS IN A POD.

President Taft vetoed the bill revising the wool
schedule because, while he proclaimed his belief in
the theory of lower schedules yet he feared the bill
passed by the Democratic Congress was too radical
cut and would hurt the wool growing and wool spin
ming industries.
Candidate Wilson in discussing the question Of
tariff revision in his speech of acceptance, said:
I'VE do not ignore the fact that the business of q
country like is exceedingly sensitive to changes
in legislation of this kind 1t has been built up iI-ad
visedy upon tariff schedules written in the way have
indicated, and its foundations must be too radically
too suddenly disturbed When act we should ACT

they about and not like those In love with theory
President Taft might have just as we'll incorpor.
ated that in his message vetong the wool BILL for i,
conveys the sentiments he did express but
them better.
Both Wilson and Taft are alike when it comes :.
dealing with, Special Privilege. They are ovc~lv
careful not to disturb existing conditions, proceed
with great caution, and take unusual pains to dis
semble their love for the theories they advocate
