APPOINTMENTS.

President-elect Wilson Is in favor,
as most good citizens are, Of what is
known as civil service reform, that is,
of the policy Of increasing. from
time to time. and az fast as is possible
and e~xpedient. the list Of government
employees whose tenure Of Office de-
ponds, not only on the mutations Of
politics. but on the continued faithful
performance Of their duties. 1t is
obvious that there are positions which
are political in their nature. and in
which It IL important that the incum.
bents shall be politically in sympathy
with tho administration, whatever its
Political complexion may be. But there
are thousands Of others, in the post
Offices. In the customs service, in the
consular service. and in other depart
n1ents OF government work. who are
simply tho business agents Of the gov
eminent. and who can serve faithfully
and successfully whether their poll
tical opinions happen to coincide with
those Of the administrator or not.
The list of such employees who have
been protected in their positions by
civil service regulations has been
growing for many years. and every
president for a generation, at least.
has added to It. Mr.. Wilson, as has
been said. has at various times and
in various ways indicated his sympa-
thy with and approval Of this policy.
Unless the Pressure from within his
W party proves too strong for him
to Withstand. we may expect to see
him retain On the classified list those
employees who are already there. and,
during his term, to cause that list to
be expanded Nevertheless, 1t Is ex-
pected by both republicans and demo.
rat that when the terms of those
employees who are not on the classified
list expire. the republican incumbents
will not be reappointed. but demo-
Gratis will be appointed in their stead.
Everyone expects this. and no one
finds any fault with it. It is natural,
usual M proper.
The practice which is accepted az
a matter Of course in federal affairs
is equally natural and proper in STATE
government. When Governor.elect
Hanna steps into the position to which
he has been elected he will find that
various appointments are to be made.
Isn't it q little absurd for democrats
who expect and desire = clean sweAp

POINTED

(CnlcaEo NeWS.)
It's easier for most men to pray Tor
forgiveness than It Is to fight tempta-
ton.
When a man talks about love he
acts as if he felt ashamed of his con-
VerSation.
Once in a great while nature makes
a mistake and she turns o. a hand
some man.
There's nothing better than mar
riage for bringing out all the temper
there is in red hair.
1t doesn't take the ma who thinks
he knows it all Very long to tell how
little he really knows.
If the family next door wears more
stylish clothes than her own. a wonl-
an can easily imagine they have less
to eat.

BETTER FARMING.

Inc Better Farming movement as
an organized effort, is one of the es.
tablished facts. In the beginning it
was regarded by many people with
a good deal Of suspicion. Bankers
contributed to 1t. Railroad men were
among its promoters, and they agreed
to furnish a large part Of the funds
necessary to carry It on. The people
of the various counties, jewellers in cit
les n villages as We'll as farmers.
were asked to contribute something
to help the movement along. and to
demonstrate their interest in 1t. a
few farmers took the position that
anything hat the bankers wanted,
that the railroads wanted. and that
city people were willing to pay money
for must Of necessity be hostile to the
interest Of the farmer, and a good
thing for the farmer to let alone.
There was something of a feeling
Of resentment in a few quarters at the
suggestion hat somebody was coming
In to tell the farmer how to run his
business. This was treated as an in.
suit. The man who entertained this
view said in substance: you people
'SNOiiu wv SouI wv odSlIleSSs AIN
when we want you to tell us how to
farm we will send for you"
Practically all of this feeling has
disappeared. At no time was 1t gen.
eral. and to all intents and purposes,
today It does not exist. There has
come about a better understanding
Of the community Of interest that ex-
lists throughout the whole world Of
useful activity. The banker has a
commercial interest in the prosperity
Of the community in which he does
business. The more money Is made
IN a locality, the more money will be
handled by the banks. More people
means more sales. more purchases.
more loans. more business generally.
hence the banker has a proper and
legitimate interest in the promotion
Of the welfare Of his community. To
the railroads bigger crops mean more
trains to haul. Profitable crops mean
more money to spend on goods Of all
kinds. and the railroads must haul
the goods. The merchant in the city
thrives when times on the farm are
good, and his business is at a stand.
still when crops fail. Obviously the
farmer himself wants good crops and
profitable crops. Among all these
people. therefore, there is a commu.
nifty Of interest. That which is to the
advantage Of one is to the advantage
Of all. and misfortune on the farm
means the tying up Of business all
along the line.
The better farming experts are
bringing to the farmers knowledge
that the farmer needs . The experts
DO not know 1t all. Doubtless they
learn q great deal from the. farmers
themselves as they go along. But
they have a technical training which
makes them valuable advisors, and
through them knowledge is brought
to the farmer which would otherwise
he inaccessible. The whole work is a
worthy one. and a valuable one. and
Its worth is now generally recognized.
1t will not double the crops Of a neigh
borhood in a season. and it will not
work any other miracle. But If COM
petent men r employed 1t will re-
suit in a gradual and quite rapid i'm
provement in all the conditions on the
farm. and In better times for the
farmer.

An idea Of how Japan has leaned

may be the richest and most infuen-

QUAKER QUIPs.

(F'nlIadeIphia Press
a Vein OF sentiment is sometimes AN
in vain.
Also most of us want to chew more
than We are able to bite off.
We are all apt to speak we'll of the
dead except in the case of the dead
broke.
Some people are almost as stuck up
as though they had been tarrcd and
feathered.
One way in which a man can always
please his wife is by pretending to
be jealous of her.
Some men are kept so busy MAIN
tanning their dignity that they never
have time to do anything else.
