curb CITY EMPLOYEES.

Politics will be forever abolished
from tho city administration. and an,
employee engaging in It must resign
Is tho hatfooted stand of Henry j
Arnold. the new reform Mayor of Dem
YER. whose administration is about tc
take hold and try to make over tina,
politics-ridden city. The policy which
Arnold lays down as to city employees
| Is ono which should be adopted. not
only by our now Administrative Board
when It goes into office. but also by
board. Unless tho now Administrative
Board will mako Its relation with city
employees strictly business and abso-
lutely nonpolitical, there Will be poor
government and great waste OF tho
taXpayers' money. Hear what Arnold
says about 1t.
'T believe that for many years tho
administration of tho municipality's
affairs has been carried on in too lax
n manner In regard to expenditures.
There are many people holding off,
cial positions who Give but little of
their time to tho city's affairs. This
IS Il common abuse in almost every
American city. for tho reason that
municipal administrations have been
too often political machines. and po-
litical debts have been paid through
the creation OF unnecessary Offices.
believe that n municipality should be
conducted as far as possible with the
scrupulous care and attention to econ
omy that man would exercise IN con-
Quoting his own business"
How does Arnold propose to abolish
this rotten condition. He will ex-
anime every department carefully. He
will consolidate offices and positions
where two men are doing the work of
one. He will reduce by eliminating
duplication. He will abolish useless
departments. He will put civil SER
vice rules Into operation everywhere.
He says: "All good men in each de-
partrent will be retained by the ad-
ministratior. hut those who INDUCED
IL too much machine politics or were
guilty OF frauds or Misrepresentation
In the registration or at the polls on
election day must either reform or re-
sign"
This is the policy that the Admin
istrative Board should follow, and the
voters OF Richmond must elect mon
to that board who will establish and
maintain such q standard. Govern
ment for tho taxpayers. not govern
mcnt for tho city employees. Is what
we are after. and we must have 1t.

The fact that there Is no uniform. no

planetary. The man in Quebec would
not think of putting on n straw hat

NEW JERSEY.

New Jersey, along with the other great
Republican States, has overwhelmingly
rejected the candidacy OF Taft for
the Chicago nomination. There is nc
other State In which the results of \
presidential primary deserve TO be nc
corded so much respect and considera-
tion. In no other State did money OF
political organization Play so small q
part In the campaign. The chances
by New Jerseys strict registration
law and drastic corrupt practices act
Tho ballot was simple; the Issue was
plain the voter was free to express
his choice fairly.
The Roosevelt victory In the sew
eral state primaries is FAR from es-
itablishing the conviction that he could
defeat Democratic nominee for the
presidency rs easily as he has de-
icated Taft. Taft has had little real
appeal TO tho voters: If any other
strong Republican than Roosevelt had
Been p,t,ed against Taft. he could
have debated the President Taft
could not have stood before La Fol-
Iette. Tafts weakness, however. does
mot always imply Roosevelt strength.
Where TAFT was not the chief COM
petitor in North Dakota, Roosevelt
evidenced weakness. In Wisconsin.
where there was not an active rival.
the Colonel was not in the race at all.
In Massachusetts, where the Republi-
cans cared for neither the President
nor the Colonel. Roosevelt showed no
Strength.
ROOSEVELT has demonstrated beyond
any question that he is stronger than
Taft; in other quarters he has shown
that he IS weaker than men OF ordi-
nary strength. Roosevelts victories
over Taft have been more or less
victories By default.
Why cannot 1t be said that Roose-
welt, with all his victories over TAFT.
Is strong? The answer is that there
are hundreds OF thousands OF Republic
cans who dread and desp,so Roosevelt,
andtit has not been shown that they
can be induced to vote for him II, the
face OF their present declaration tbat
they would vote for any Democrat be-
fore they would vote for the third
termer
In the Republican party right now
there is n Roosevelt split. That chnsm
is just like the one which existed in
the Democratic party IN the three
Bryan campaigns. Why should we be-
1ieve that the Republican party spill,
wide open over Roosevelt would he

der by Bryan?

When heshy old gentleman steps

on 1t tor minute or two while nod
ding to an acquaintance IN the rear
OF the house. do not call him an anti
old galoot. but smile upon him graz
ciously and offer him the other foot
to step on. Make a few pleasant re-
marks about thu weather and ask
after the state of health OF his family.
Then go out and buy him a bouquet
OF violets and present It to him.
II an old lady with square specta-
cles. who looks as though she might
have money, sticks an umbrella point
in your eye, life your hat politely and
ask her If she won't have an ice cream
soda.
II gentleman in the train piles

are in tho smoker. give Elm g good

If q man runs you down with an
automobile and breaks all OF your
ribs and one of the lamps on his
car. send him new lamp and oou-
Duet O. American Beauties as soon

There arc thousands of occasions
OF this kind OF which you may take
