WEDNESDAY. JUNE 4. 1913


After weeks Of waiting the supreme
court has rendered decision in tae
McGovern-Ekern political row. In eff
feet, "a not in plain language, the court
says that C.sice- holding is vested and
property right; that one who succeeds
in becoming intreDched in the state pub
lie service may stay for life; that death
or resignation are the only avenues Of
removal; that superior must grant a
court trial before subordinate can be
removed. The theory Of our represen-
tative government is practically upset
BY this decision and the existence of
the civil service incubus. The court
holds that the governor did not give
Ekern proper notice and trial when re-
moving him from the Office of state in
suranee commissioner on the charge Of
political activity. Chief Justice Wins
low and Justice Barnes file strong dis
senting opinions, holding that the ex-
ecutive was clearly within his rights
in removing one of his appointees for
insubordination, and violation of the
law under which he was holding office.
And the dear people look on with APP
parent Indifference to their own inter-
ests and pay the taxes piled up by
these trafiieking politicians who are
sparring for personal factional advan-
tage.

At Marquette, Michigan, Theodore
Roosevelt received verdict of guilty
and six cents damage against weekly
newspaper publisher for stating, in the
heat of last years campaign, that
Teddy was "boozer To many it
appears like small potatoes, good way
of keeping himself in the public eye,
for an ex president to pay attention to
such a statement. Roosevelt waived
damage claim against the editor, stat
ing what is creditable to him, that he
brought the suit to refute once and
for all time the rumors and charges
that he is a Grunkard.

In some quarters, even among demo-
Gratis, there are mutterings because
practically all of the important COM
mittee chairmanships in congress have
been handed over to members from the
solid south. Why complain, when ev-
cry thinking man knew democratic sue
cess would mean just that, and much
more? People are getting just what
they voted for. The south is firmly in
the saddle; they ought to have an I'M

Just now, at Memorial and Decora-
ton period, it is neither creditable to
the country nor refiecting the choicest
patriotism to know that in the great
membership of the national house of
representatives remains but one man

are n,sny who were on the other side.
And, too, the occupant Of the presiden-
cy is me son of confederate soldier
and STAKEHOLDER. These are certainly
the days of reconstruction.

Edgerton Reporter: The proposition
to collect taxes semi-annually to make
them less nurdensome is sheer nonsense.
Like cutting Off the dogs tail a piece
at time. If the idea is to cover up
the fact that taxes are all the time in
creasing, by collecting in partial pay
ments, then there is a reason for the
change, otherwise no good argument
can be advanced.
