NEW HAVEN AND ENGINEER MILLER.

Engineer Miller of the New Haven road, may
have hurled his belated engine past an antiquated
banjo" signal before he it through the fog and
turned the wooden sleeping cars, only 400 feet ahead,
into human shambles; but
Engineer Miller did not equip the train ahead
with wooden sleeping cars, and he did not erect and
maintain the obsolete and inadequate signal system,
and he did not cram the right of way with criminaly
equipped passenger trains running eight minutes
apart
Engineer Miller was not factor in any OF the
thirteen previous wrecks that have taken place on
the New Haven road within the past two years. piing
up total list of 4S4 dead and injured; but
The same wooden cars, the same faulty signal
system and the faulty brakes Of the New Haven road
were factors in all of these previous wrecks.
1t is past time to stop putting the blame for the
criminal management of the New Haven road on the
shoulders of unfortunate living employees or charging
it to the memory of some dead employe, who was
killed by the system
The employees of the New Haven are very like
the railroad employees of other railroads 1t Is pre-
posterous to assume they less intelligent or more
reckless, or that they entertain contempt for their
own lives and the lives of the travelling public that
is not entertained by employees Of other systems.

Democracy. Such an opposition is certain to come
into existence because conditions will make it neces-
sary. The Democrats, assuming that even in the
face of such rehabilitation of their opposition they
remain in power, will give better service to the
country if they have an opposition that seriously
threatens them with defeat. As matters stand now,
they have an insurance policy in the division Of
their opponents They can do pretty much as they
please 1t is not necessary for them TO stop, look and
listen. .......
That condition involves danger for the party in
power and for the country well. With vast array
of great questions pending and pressing, the eoun-
try can i'll afford to have responsibility in control
of the machinery of government. Already we have
seen the caucus system developed to the point OF
tyranny and it is not far cry to the time when it
will be just as acute an issue as it was under the
Tory Republicans. One thing will save the country
and the Democratic party from such an event, and
that is an early organization out Of the elements that
made up the old Republican party, of new ANAL
gamated force which shall be able to command re-
spect

REACHING FOR THE PLUMs.

Despite the civil service systems wide extension,
there is still considerable political pie available for
distribution to the faithful followers Of the party in
power President Wilson has deemed it good politics
to avoid any general distribution until after certain
Legislation has been secured. He is using patronage
as a club, just as every other President has done,
and just as Presidents inevitably will do so long as
they are burdened with responsibility for its dstrbu-
tion There is no particular ground for criticism Of
the politics he is playing though that sort Of politics
ought not to be either necessary or possible under
any Administration.
But lately there has been evidence of the reac-
ton against this policy of holding back the jobs.
One bit Of it was noted in the Democratic refusal to
place the income tax clerical force under civil serv-
ice Now comes another in the effort to discontinue
civil service examinations for fourth class postmas-
ters The scramble for spoils in these directions is
accentuated by the Administrators refusal to hand
out the things it has at its disposal
President Wilson is real civil service reformer,
albeit he finds distinct differences between the
theory and the practice of that doctrine. Nobody
would be more aggrieved than he to see the spois
system return 1t would vastly increase the difficult
ties and embarrassments of his own position and
weaken the party by breeding internecine fights for
the jobs. The masses of plain practical politicians
know what they want and when they want It, and
they not letting any ne-spun theories Of admin
istratve reform interfere with their aspirations to
get it.

ROOSEVELT TO sULZER

Colonel Roosevelt writing to Governor Sulzer,
succeeds with the usual Roosevetan instinct in set
ting down very accurately the communitys view of
fbe Sulzer impeachment He declares that, like
pter honest people, he does not credit the prosecu-
hon of the governor with any honest motive; he
recognizes that it is part Of evil plot to seize the
government of the State, and that had Sulzer been
plant and yielding to the wishes of the consprators
there would have been no fight against him on their
part.
None the less, Colonel Roosevelt advises the gov
ernor that 1t is necessary for him to make a full
frank, and detailed answer to the charges that have
been brought against him. The fact that dishonest
motives prompted the bringing of those charges does
not relieve the governor Of his obligation to meet
them fairly and squarely.
To whatever extent Governor Sulzer has done
wrong ne ought to make confession and acknovledg
iment He would be vastly stronger with the country
and the State for acknowledging his error and his
regret that il was committed.

How to Choose
You're Occupation
PRIVATE SECRETARY.
By CELIA X. HUsIK.

-HE ambitious stenographer who
Is intelligent and wideawake can
often better herself in every
way by becoming a private sec
retary. While there are schools IN
which this work Is taught. 1t Is not
really necessary to take a course IN
private secretaryship." The industri-
Gus young man or woman stenographer
can always work up from one position
to another until finally competent 10
take up the duties and Responsiveness
of a private secretary.
The important qualifications are gem
eral intelligence. common sense, alert
ness, thoroughness. reliability, and q
genuine interest In ones work. The
ability to keep confidential all import
ant matters intrusted Is very important
for success. No one can expect to hoId
a position as private secretary for any
length of time IL he or she deviates
from this rule.
There are very many important posi-
tions In all large establishments, In
banking houses. in Government bureaus
where the services of thorough and
competent secretaries are required.
The knowledge of$foreign Languages,
such as French, German and Spanish,
Is very valuable and often adds greatly
10 ones success in this line OF work.
The pay of private secretary Is
from {2o to S35 per week. There are
positions which pay much more; but
these very frequently require a great
deal of experience and an intimate
knowledge Of business affairs.

SENATOR BRIsTows PROTEST.

Senator Bristow, like The Times, is in general
accord with the Wilson Administration to Mexico.
He wants Intervention avoided and he doesn't want
Huerta recognized But he points out, as The Times
has repeatedly DONE that while denying the form Of
recognition, the Washington Government too long
granted its substance and benefits The refusal to
permit arms and munitions to 60 across our border
to the consttutionalists, while Huerta permit
ted to import them, strikes Senator Bristow exactly
as it did this newspaper, giving the usurping gov
ernment the most important possible advantage.
While that discrimination has now been ended, it
would seem to have been ended in the wrong way.
After Huerta has got his supplies, and his antagonists
have been denied tlem the export of to Mexico
Is stopped.
IHuerta is not deserving of recognition as the
constitutional ruler, certainly he ought not to be
given such an advantage as this. There is small
doubt that the vast majority of the American public
agrees with the Bristow view at this point and dis
agrees with the Administration. Indeed, this is the
one feature Of Administration policy that marks
distinct failure to satisfy the national wishes.

REPUBLICANS AND PRoGREsSIvEs.

The Indianapolis News, analyzing the municipal
campaign that is opening in its city observes that
the Republican and Progressive organizations en-
gagged in contest, not to elect mayor, but to win
second place in the polling. Neither has chance
to elect. Last autumn the Progressves counted the
second largest vote in the city, and they fighting
for retention of that position.
Precisely the same thing is going On in the Third
Maine Congress district. The Democrats are
expected to elect the ad interim Congressman, while
Republicans and Progressves are struggling to win
second place, with view to the advantage it will
give in future.
In both cases, and in others throughout the coun-
try, both Republicans and Progressves have their
eyes on ultimate advantage rather than immediate
success They all look to the ultimate desider-
atum: the amalgamaton of the Republicans and
Progressives. While some of the irreconcable lead
CTS in both parties, especially the Progressive pro-
test that there is possibility of such reorganiza-
tion the masses of both parties look to it as the
necessary and inevitable outcome. The country at
large so esteems it. The Democrats expect and
fear il.
II is very plain that no other eventualiy can
provide the country with effective opposition to

MEETING THE NEED FOR STEEL CARS.

After every railroad wreck in which there is
considerable loss of life, there is a public outcry
for the more extensive use Of steel cars.
In justice to the railroads, it should be said that
inquiry covering the lines which have terminals at
New York shows amazing progress in this direction.
1t appears that practically wooden Pullmans are
run out of the great stations there or in Jersey
City, with the single exception of trains on the New
Haven. Even that road has stopped ordering
wooden cars for any kind of passenger traffic. al
though its supply of steel coaches present is far
short of necessities it having been slower than other
companies to see the need of a sweeping substitu-
ton.
When we consider how recently the use of the
steel car made practical, this is a remarkable
showing 1t is the more striking in view of the
difficulty of supplying the enormous and sudden
demand and the great expenditure of capital by the
railroads that is required.

"HoLD YOUR coTToN!"

Time was when the community laughed at the
populistic hold your wheat propaganda, and every
body understood that such a chimera as united ac-
ton of the nations farmers was quite ridiculous.
But the farmers have latterly learned from those
who laughed. They see other interests COM
bining and debating prices, and, with money
in the banks and the best security on earth
for borrowing more, they propose to try once
more. This years cotton crop is little less than
last years; the price is now around IL cents. The
cotton growers want Is, and the convention OF the
Farmers Union at Salina has adopted a program
bidding all its two million cotton-growing members
not 10 sell under Is. i.
