A PROPER ACT.

There is no better method of ex- pressing confidence and rewarding competence and faithfulness than that which has been taken by the decision of the steamship company which has announced that Captain Inch of the burned steamer VoIturne will be placed in command of another new vessel This may be against some of the past practices in marine history but 1t seems to be in accordance with the demands of the situation.
 Captain Inch went through an ex- perience which from all accounts failed to show that he was negligent in the command of his vessel Surely his conduct after the frightful predica- ment was disclosed was of the best, He is a young man of ability and cour- age and the manner in which he ac- quilted himself showed him to be a most desirable official for the steam ship company and one whose services are bound to be more instead of less valuable His removal would simply mean a lack of recognition of com potency while his retention displays a realization of the service which he rendered under adverse circumstances. Though responsible for his ship as the captain always is. there is no evil dence of recklessness disobedierce of rules or lack of seamanship. It is therefore but natural that such should appeal in his behalf regardless of the fact that the blacklist is the usual result of the loss of a ship. Even the captain of a steamship cannot accom- plish things beyond his power, and it is but right that he should have an- other command with all the require ments of safety fully met

ADVOCATING SABOTAGE.

Much attention is directed to the outcome of the appeal pending in the state of New Jersey in the case against r. $, Boyd, a participant in the recent Paterson silk strike, who has been sentenced from enc to seven years in prison and fined $500 for preaching and urging his hearers. the striking silk workers, to use sabotage. This conviction followed a long trial and creates unusual interest because it is the first time the advocate of such a practice has been convicted.
 Sabotage is one of the means to an end In industrial warfare. It is a practice whereby the employe returns to work after a strike unsatisfied and strives to get even with the employer by damaging the goods produced, or the machinery. The aim Is to cause a loss to the employer to offset what ever concessions they are unable to obtain. It means the use of under handed methods, the striking of a man when his face Is turned when he Is not prepared and unsuspecting. It is a decidedly uSfair method on the part of anyone, whether carried out in se- cret or as the result of being urged by industrial agitators. Those who plot crime even though others carry it out are held equally guilty. When, according to the evidence Boyd wS~ melting the people of Paterson, even though in a country of free speech. to resort 10 such practice he was taking great liberties, and upon the review of the verdict by the high court de- bends the establishment of a prece- dent which is bound to be of great value to the entire country

WEAK VIEW OF DUTY,

Although II was foresh2 dowed it is to be regretted that President Wilson did not possess the courage to pre- vent the raid which is made upon the civil service through his signature of tiae urgent deficiency bill. He of course claims that the InarshaIs and collect ors who are affected by the rider, which he gives approval to by his sig nature, were never intended to be un- der civil service It is ueVextheleSS a fact that he found them under civil service, a regulation which he and the democratic platform have not only en- dorsed but promised to maintain. Re- gardless of this fact he has seen fit to remove this merit basis and place the spells system in effect again for those offices on the interesting ground that they were never intended to be included under the ordinary provisions of the civil service-'' For this req son he has removed something from these offices which is considered of value and importance to other em- pIoyes of the government. If an effort for good has gotten by because it was never intended. that seems to be little or no good grounds for abol- ishing It.
 Rather does it appear to be a yield ing to the efforts to undermine the merit system. step for which the democrats made a hard fight during the close of the last administra ton and failed only to be encouraged at the opening of this administration, by the support of the head of the na- tion- Civil service is a, reform which should be upheld with courage and extended, rather than be curtailed, especially when it comes up as a rider TO an important appropriation bill. The president has taken a weak view of bis dntY.

EVERY DAY REFLECTIONS
Things.

The stores are heaped up with things The most skillful men are employed to persuade people to buy things for which they have no earth ly use.
 Every home contains sets of books that were bought at a high rate, and that have stood for years without a soul looking into them.
 American living rooms are as clut- tered as Westminster Abbey. Every mantel is loaded with junk. The walls are crowded with pictures, most of them bad The floors are so thick with chairs and superfuous stands and tables that fsw can wind their way through thenH by day and none by night.
 Things, things, things Bedrooms are fun of them, closets heaped with them. the attic is choked with them, the woodshed and barn are running over.
 When we go away on vacations we take trunks full of things. When we go to Europe also we find that bag gage is the plague of our life.

REACHING THE sTAY.Ar-HoMEs

With the failure to exercise the rights of suffrage occurring so ire quently in every city and town, unless some matter of unusual importance is under fire, it is easy to understand the position which is taken by Jose phus Daniels, secretary of the navy, when he expresses the belief that some legal measure should be taken con- corning the stay -at-homes for the pur- pose of getting them to the polls In his advocacy of compulsory voting the secretary takes the view that the stay ing away from the polls is not only the ignoring of a privilege, but the shirking of a duty. He would place a fine, or assess a special tax upon those who are so indifferent to the welfare of their town, city. state or country as to neglect such an import ant responsibility.
 If the stay-at-home methods were conducive to the best government se- cured the best officials and accomplish ed the greatest good for municipality, state or nation, objection could not be offered, but such can hardly be admit ted. With the comp1exity of life, the large number of interests and the com plications of government there is al- ways a danger which comes from min ority rule It is the lack of interest which creates a spirit of unrest and opposition even though on many cleo ton days it is the stay -at-home vote which determines the result. There should be a full appreciation of his duty by the elector without any such thing as compu1sion. but it is plainly evident that something is needed to bring about an awakening.
