The Merit System.

Denying that he is spokesman, Gov
SuIzer SAYS: Il have always been for the
merit system. II il were not for the
merit system the life of public official,
both here and in Washington, would be
a burden
This is true. Gov. Sulzer is not an old
man. He first saw Washington as an
official twenty years ago. He speaks
from an experience gathered after the
merit system had been established. and
was justifying itself and growing in ia
vor.
And yet. even under those improved
conditions, the question of spoils was
still very trying on officials with pull"
n good many places remained outside the
merit system. and for them there was the
AyeIiest and bittercst scramble. In a
jtate like New York particularly. where
politics is a game of skill and experts
Semand good pay for their Iabors, great
numbers of applicants pressed for atten-
.tion where only few offices were to be
flled.

New Opposition to Tammany.

A new democratic organization Is pro-
jected in New York city. Some men who
have been training with Tammany Hall

How long will the humor and the or
ganization last?
This is a familiar industry. Time and
again the same thing has been done.
There was the County Democracy, which
had it's root in a spasm of virtue. And
there was the Irving Hall Democracy,

there have been others. But where are
they now? In the language of a famous

Mr.. Wilson and Commonplace.

When | said in my speech at Chicago
that the banking system OF the country
stood convicted | thought | was saying
what everybody had said before. Some
times ones commonplaceS Startle the
country.
In this explanation Mr. Wilson failed
to take credit for his Importance before
the country Not everybody. but many
persons. had condemned not only the
banking system but the bankers of the
United States. and declared them respon-
sible for some of the most serious of
the public woes.
But those same persons had condemned
our tariff system. our corporation system.
and our court system In fact, they had
condemned nearly everything of Ameri-
can origin and operation. Several, in the
excess of their disgust. had made them
selves national scoldS.
But Mr.. Wilson at Chicago was horse
of another color. There was bite in his
words because of his party leadership
and approaching power Men in all
walks of business gave attention when
he spoke. and fancied they heard sort
of threat in what he said. Between
Woodrow Wilson, President-elect of the
United States, within two months OF
taking office. and unofficial agitatofs
speaking in the hope of securing office
they drew a sharp line.
Men as high in the world as Mr.. Will
son utter no commOnplaces. Or 1t may
be more correct to say that common
places uttered by them cease to be SUCH
They take on Importance from assocla-
tion John Smith seeking office may talk
in a very wild strain and cause no I'M
easiness; but if he secures office. and in
office repeats himself. then his wild strain
alarms 1t is accepted as a warning Of
coming action.
On several occasions since election day
Mr. Wilson has caused alarm, probably
without intention. He was uttering the
commonplace of the stump, but without
rejecting that he was no longer on the
stump; that public favor had raised him
above the stump into a position Of strict
responsibility to the whole country for
every sentiment expressed.
When currency reform is under discus
sion bankers must be heard. They are a
source of the most important informa-
tion When tariff reform is under dis
cussion manufacturers and merchants
must be heard They have information
and ideas worth the while of both Con-
gress and the President. And surely big
businessmen that portion of it under
charges-is entitled to a hearing when
stricter trust regulation Is proposed. In
restoring the government to the people
it would not do to blacklist the successful
and take into account only the idle and
the Disseminated. And such. of course, is
not Mr.. Wilson's proposition or intention
He is simply little late in getting rid
of his stump voice. and exercising that
suitable to a responsible forum.

Reform for the Record.

Some day into Congress they'll usher
Some editor, rural but bold;
No picturesque, garrulous gusher,
But a man with new plans to unfold.
He will take that Congressional Record
And cut out the dialogue long.
He will start career that is checkeret
With pictures and stories and song.
He'll give it beautiful cover,
A thing of eccentric design.

With some poems it's style to refine.

And make some subscribers look sad.

The democratic party Is being presented

country by the wholesale hOld-up of Pres
ident Taft's appointments in the Senate.

ing confirmation of some of the 800 ap-
pointments awaiting action by the Sen

act, with a view to keeping these Offices
open for the incoming President to I'LL
