DEMOCRATS SHOULD
HAVE REWARD.

Tie Review can hardly believe
that the item published yesterday to
the eject that the national democrat,
ic administration has decided on a
policy that will allow republicans to
retain the post Offices in the country
in ali classes and cases where the
incumbent is free from charges Of
lnediciency or incompetence. Ger
talnly President Wilson would not
undertake such an unwarranted polit'
ical revolution from past custom in
plsyiGg the political game.
Every republican postmaster Of the
country who holds a commission from
Es-President Taft got it as a reward
for his activity in upholding the
party and principles upon which Taft
and his administration rested. This
party and these principles were re-
pudiated at the last national election.
This reputation should be followed
by putting democrats in Office to re-
place the republicans. 1t is not en-
pected that there will be any removal
of competent men from the post Of
fees, bat when their present terms
expire there should be democra;
ready with commission in hand to
relieve every one of them.
The Review is not So PARTISAN that
it would not agree to an occasional
repui lican in Office, but We viii not
agree TO Iiacing such handicap on
the democratic party rs the one sug-
gested in the item ficrn Washington
regarding the post offices. In the
Courier-Iournal We find an article on
This subject and the following ex'
tract from il we believe will meet a
very pronounced and emphatic Amer
from the democrats Ct the country:
THAT woodrow Wilson's announce
ment that he would personally re-
ceive no applicants fer cffce hit the
sense of fines. and Ike intelligence
Of the better classes" in other words
the millions who do rot want Office
between wind and water is true
enough; and yet, much may be said
on the other side Of the question; the
oomplacsney OF the ga; installed IN
their own snug places; the difference
Of attitude and tone '.cfore and after
election; the irrclircss and lack Of
sympathy of the newly great in their
treatment of the arlf of the little
the hewers OF wood anc drawers Of
wafer who did the ilaIIing and wor
