That President Wilson has been

Spells AND DIPLOMACY.

1t is to he hoped that President Will
son will not yield too far 10 the bad
precedent Of paying political debts
through diplomatic appointments. II
is sixteen years since the diplomatic
board was last swept clean for political
reasons. Since then the status or the
service has been materially altered.
The country has grown away from the
idea that diplomatic posts are merel!

serving supporters of an incoming sd

matte service are similarly protected

/ considerations are not allowed 10 inter-

That protection is given under eXecu-

BIT Colonel Roosevelt and Mr.. Taft

/ men serving now in the highest grades
who have reached their posts by pro
motions from the bottom. Among the
ambassadors Mr.. Rockhilis is the most

THE CENTRE OF THE SYSTEM

George Haven Putnam's testimony
before the Wagner committee yester-
day was the testimony of man who
has had large experience rs II grand
Juror, having served repeatedly for
many years. who was foreman Of the
famous grand jury of 1901 that inves-
ligated vice. and who is Il member oil
the Committee Of Fourteen. He spoke
with as near knowledge OF graft as
any one is likely 10 have who does not
participate i'm the collection and dis
tributon of the foul tribute Of saloons
gambling dens and disOrderly houses.
The picture which he drew Of The
system" based upon the knowledge
which he has gained as Il grand juror,
corresponds with the general belief.

Of dependents in proper gratitude he
