Desperate Democracy

Spells, in the shape of fat public jobs, for the
Indiana faithful have been few and far be-
tween that the pie hungry Indiana Democrats are
almost desperate.
The latest public job generally allotted to
Indiana's share of patronage is membership on
the Philippine Commission, which pays $4,000
a year. The Indiana patriots who have been
scrambng for this most desirable appointment
number a legion. Therefore, join in their sob
bling chorus, if you have heart, over the tip
that has gone abroad that Newton W. Gilbert, of
Angola, Ind, staunch Republican, is to be reap
pointed to that office his efficiency record.
If the president persists in handing out such
disappointments, in place of offices, that word
"efficiency' will shortly have the same effect on
all loyal Democrats as red flag has bull.
The next most desirable job in Indiana's old
patronage list is the consul generalship to Lon
don $4,000 per year. The post is now held by
John L. Griffiths, formerly of indianapolis. Not
withstanding the fact that the consular service
is now supposed to be under the merit system,
great pressure is being brought to bear the
white house, led by Indiana's two senators, to
have Griffiths ousted and his place filled by some
Hooser henchman serving in the ranks of
Democracy.
Senator Shveley has announced that Grit
fiths' appointment was partisan one and that
each campaign since he has been in service he
has returned to the United States to work in the
interests of the Republican party.
This is all perfectly true, but if foreign
service is ever to be established sound basis
under the merit system, political appointments to
posts in the service must be done away with.
Probably there are more Republicans in the
consular service now than Democrats, but re-
turn to the spoils system means more Democrats
than Republicans change made at the expense
of the efficiency of the service.
If any Republican consuls are incompetent,
they should be removed, but their successors
should be appointed through the civil service, not
through the white house.
AS to the case of Mr.. Griffiths, he has had
several years experience in the consular service
and has been very valuable and competent Of
ficial. Being an experienced man in the work
he is engaged in (and our government needs all
the experienced and competent it can retain
on it's payrolD it would be unwise to replace him
with an inexperienced man.
At the same time the civil service should rule
strictly against members of the consular service
engaging in politics. Such rule would undoubt-
eddy be popular with not only Mr. Griffiths, but
all other members of the service he is in.

Where the Credit Belongs

The Indianapolis Star today editorially lauds
Richmond city officials and members of the Rich
mond Commercial club for their work in bringing
about merger of the two local gas companies in
such way that the Richmond people will be
guaranteed natural gas at a rate over a half less
than what they are now paying for artificial gas.
The Star announces that Richmond has set an
excellent worthy example to the Indianapolis city
officials, and denounces them for their inactivity
in bringing about similar merger of gas COM
panies in that city.
For the benefit of the Star this information
is supplied:
If the Richmond people had waited on the
mayor and his board members to take the initia-
tive in securing cheap gas in way that the
public would be fully protected, negotiations to
have natural gas pped into this city would not
yet have been started.
The only city official who took an active part
in this work City Attorney Bond, and he was
ably and effectively assisted by the members of
the public service committee of the Commercial
Club. These men alone are responsible for 40
cent natural gas in Richmond.
The Star should apply the spur to the Indian
apolis Board of Trade, not the Shank vaudeville
administration if it wants Indianapolis to accom-
plish the results obtained in Richmond.

FEROCIOUS DOLPHINS.
Marine Monsters That Are Known az
Whale Killers.

Whale Killers.
There really is such u sea monster
as the whale killer. 1t is one of the
largest and most ferocious of all the
dolphin family. 1t also is known as
the grampus. 1t is characterized as a
genus by it's large size and the conical
and depressed head, devoid of a beak.
The back fin is of great length. espe-
cially in the males, and the fiippers are
large and broadly ovate.
The teeth are comparatively few
in number, varying from ten to thir
teen on each side of the jaw, and are
much larger than in any dolphins yet
noticed, being often an inch or more
in diameter and having an oval sec
ton. The colora tion is striking. the
upper parts and fms being black, while
the lower jaw, chest and under parts
are whitish.
The white area of the under parts
does not, however. extend to the flukes,
but ends posteriorly in a trident, Of
which the lateral and shorter prongs
extend obliquely upward on the tanks.
There is a large white streak above
and behind the eye, and frequently at
least purple cIescentic area extends
across the back behind the fin. The
killer attains length of at least TWEEN
ty feet.-St. Louis Times.
