Wilson and Appointments.

The merit principle in the govern
ment service appeals strongly to
President Wilson and there are as
surances that he does not intend to
disturb Republican oficeholders OF
meritorious conduct until their terms
expire, Announcement of this has sci
Democracy to rantlng with rage.
The president evidently places good
public service mist and party next
While this is most disappointing tc
hordes of Democrats gathered like
starving wolves and ready to get to
the publlescrib with a wild leap, 1t il
certainly in behalf of the public ser
vice.
The mere suggestion that Republi
cans have ,fattened at the public crib
such a long time will meet deaf ears
The president seems not to believe
in that old saying that to the ,victors
belong the spoils but rather in order
ly administration of affairs.
/, There is consolation to those who
are renting the air with rage, how.
ever, that about $4,000 appointments
made by Taft and not confirmed viii
not stand. President Wilson vii
name men for these places.
Even the Democratic congressman
ever loudly shouting for good public
service are not pleased with the presi-
dents stand. They fear that failure
to depose Republicans and appoint
Democrats will have disastrous
effect on the congressional elections
in 1914. They thus admit that fedora.
patronage is regarded by them al
vital in, politics. yet they have beer
bowling feaffully and long against
federal patronage influence.
Once before a Democrat at the ma
tional capital got in bad with his
official axe. He decapitated office
holders by the wholesale, but the ap
pointments pleased only those who
received them.
Perhaps President. Wilson recog.
rizes the fact that the hordes of office
seekers outnumber the offices many
fold and he purposes not TO be the
center of an unseemly scramble for
the comparatively few leaves.

ernor Hatfield the following fragrant
bouquet:
Governor Hatfield has announced
that, before appointing heads for
the various institutions, he Will
make tour OF the state in the
course of which he will visit each OF
the institutions and make a study
OF conditions and needed methods
OF management in each OF them.
ut would appear from this de-
termination that the governor is go
ing 70 make fitness one OF the re-
quiremerfts for appointment, and
that the places Will not be filed
merely as a matter of personal and
political reward TO party henchmen,
and that where present incumbents
have shown marked fitness for the
work in which they are engaged they
will not be removed.
Should the governor carry this
plan to its legitimate conclusion. ne
win fhad that in doing so, he willre-
celve the approval of the people OF
the state. regardless of party, who
want the business of the state and
its institutions conducted upon a
high basis.

That part of the record of Will
liam E, Glasscock as governor of the
state that found his party rent just
before the end of his term is moth
ing to be especially proud OF. There
is consolation in the fact that what
he did to wreck the party was un.
done by the legislature when 1t
elected Judge Nathan GoG United
States senator. Let the ex-govern-
or retire to his habitation and rest
IN peace. He is done politically.

Spanish America do not have TO worry
over Latin. The study of ancient
language has been practically elimi-
mated in Spanish America, according
to a bulletin on Latin-American uni
yersities and special schools just is
sued by the United States Bureau OF
Education.
Latin is not included in the chr
ricula of secondary schools in any
of the following countries: Argen-
tina, Bolivia, Chile, Costa RIGA, Cuba,
Ecuador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mex
leo. Nicaragua. Panama. Paraguay,
Peru, Salvador. and Uruguay. 1t is
taught to a limited extent in the
classical schools of Haiti and Colon
bia. Some Venezuela high schools
offer courses in Lam, but the studies
are very elementary. ''Notwithstand-
ing reasons of kinYlip of speech. pride
OF race, and scholastic tradition
says DR.. Edgar Ewing Brandon, au-
thor of the bulletin, Latin. as. we'll
as Greek, has almost wholly disap
peared from the curricula of South
and Central America educational in
stitutions.r In some countries it is
positively forbidden by law to teach
Latin in the schools.
In the universities there are usually
courses of lectures on the history of
classic llteratures, but there are given
in the mother tongue and the students
who take them are not required to be
able to read the original. In the In
stitute Pedagogical of Chile, anelemen-
tary course of three years in Latin
Is required of those preparing to teach
Spanish and French, but even here
Latin is not taught for the sake Of
Latin, but Jas suitable background
or the scientific study of Spanish or
stenchs grammar. A similar plan
prevailssin the University of Buenos
Aires. -
\ THE disappearance of Latin was
not effected without contest says
Or. Brandon. MANY educators trained
under the old system recognized the
value of the subject in any scheme OF
education, and fought valiantly for
its retention. Some states wavered If
their policy; under one regime it was
abolished; under another restored,
only to be cast out again when its
opponents returned to power. Argen-
tina fuctuatsd many years in her
policy; Uruguay but recently discard
ed the subject"
Various reasons are assigned for
the abandonment of Latin. The ques-
lion of church and state, an important
one in Latin America, is involved to
large extent. In addition there is
the motive of utilitarianism. strong in
the present day spanish-Amerlcan,
whose chief ambition is to be mod
ernH. He feels that Latin is an an
tique, out of place in modern life. He
comedies the purpose, Of education to
be distinctly practical and useful. Ac-
cording to his view the school must
be direct agent in the regeneration
If the nation; it must advance civili-
cation. develop the natural resources
Of the country, and bring it into touch
with the most progressive of its neigh
bors and in this program of practical
accomplishment the spanish-Ameri-
can finds no place for Latin.

Judge Littlepage was very brave in
meddling in the labor troubles until
Governor Hatfield put 1t squarely up
to him to keep the peace by taking
the part OF the governor and the mi
litia. He then decided that if he were
to accept the governors proposition,
he would be in contempt of the state
supreme court and might be recalled
from the iudgeship.

An Evening Echo.

Though popularity, in some re-
spects, is desirable thing yet it is
not always criterion of real ability;
nor is It to be sought after with that
ayidity as If It were the foundation
Of happiness. 1t has been the occas-
ion OF ruin to many and Of distress
to many more. Those who have aimed
at it have been generally left to dis
appointment and confuslon.-C. BUCK.

What is Cultureo
What IS culture?

What is culture?
First, what is it not? 1t is not
anything one may put on, declares
DR.. Frank Crane in Woman's World
for March. 1t is not fine manners,
fashionable clothers, correct speech,
nor skill in the tricks of politeness.
1t is not knowing now to enter a
room properly" nor slipping soup
from the side of a spoon. nor using
the right fork, nor having the art
of saying pretty nothings. Neither
is it knowledge of books, not &C
acquaintance with the last comic
opera or play, not having read the
last novel. 1t is not knowing Greek,
Latin and English literature, nor
any other mind-stuff. One may be
perfect in all these things and be a
cad, These arts and accomplish
ments have their value, but it is
not culture value.
What is culture?
1t is the harmonious, healthy de-
yelopmelt of ones personality.
1t means a brain developer until
it thinks clearly, the will until it
acts properly and stands firm. and
the feelings until they minister to
life. not destroy it.
Culture is simply skill in using
ones self. 1t is opposed to awk-
warkness, stumbling, bungling ana
the like.
1t is not good against bad. right
eousness as against sin. nor moral
ity as against immortality; it is high
as against low, fine as against
coarse.

Wasted Mustard.

1t is stated that a member of a firm
of famous mustard manufacturers once
remarked that it was not the mustard
used. but the quantity that is wasted,
which makes their trade successful
business. Usually more of this condi-
ment Is mixed than will be wanted
and, as it soon turns discolored, dries
and loses its pungency. the mustard is
thrown away. This waste may to a
great extent be saved if care is taken
to gauge more accurately than Is COM
mon the quantity of mustard likely to
be wanted for meal. To'prevent un.
slightly discoloration if kept longer, mix
with milk. 1t is always disagreeable to
see mustard pot clogged round the
mouth with stale mustard.-New York

QUEER TYPE OF INDIAN.
A Mexican Tribe With Fair Skins, Blue
Eyes and Light Hair.

Eyes and Light Hair.
Does the word Indian convey to you
the picture of person with black hair,
black eyes and dark skin? Then change
your opinion at once.
In Mexico there are many Indians
who possess none of the aforemen-
toned characteristics that are so often
associated with the Indian. The Mex
lean Indians that are not dark are
called the Mayas. They have fair
skins, blue eyes and light hair. The
only Indian characteristics that they
possess are their high cheek bones.
their wide mouth, slanting forehead
and straight, Indian-like hair and
shape of nose.
mountains in the lower part of Sonora.
They differ in many ways from all
other tribes Of Indians. They are sup
posed to be the descendants of the
crew and passengers of Swedish ves-
sci wrecked on the Mexican coast long
before the birth of Columbus.
Although quite primitive. their mo-
rality is high. They cultivate some
corn and garden truck in the valleys
and are beginning to raise many lines
for export. The men are large and
well formed. and some of the women
are quite handsome. They all retain
some traces of their Swedish ancestry,
and some are really fair haired and
fair skinned. All are fairer than the
average Indian.-Buffalo Express.
