APPOINTMENTS NOW ON
TAP IN WASHINGTON
(By Winfield Jones. }


Washington, D. c.. July with
appointment of a Collector OF Gus
toms for the District Of Florida out
of the way, and political debt paid
of in the appointment of Judge
James F. c. Griggs to the position.
discussion among the Florida delega-
ton in Washington today was with
regard to what will be done for d.
]. Calhoun, the close friend OF Sec
retary of State William Jennings
Bryan, and with Mr.. Pekins, first
cousin of Attorney General Mickey
nolds,
It is the belief in we'll Informed
circles in Washington that Dotn
these men will be taken care OF. IL
became impossible to appoint Cal
houn to the position of Collector OF
Customs because Senators Fletcher
and Bryan were opposed to him, and
the appointment of Griggs was q
happy solution OF the tangle.
The opinion here is that Perkins
will be appointed Marshal Of tho
Northern District Of Florida. This
vacancy provided the present mar
shal Is not removed, is about one year
off, but Perkins seems the most like
ly man for tn Job.
An effort will be made to have d.
J. Calhoun appointed as postmaster
at Tampa, a vacancy which will not
occur for another six months But
Representative Sparkman will PROB
ably object to this as he already has
several candidates for the position
with better endorsement than those
of Calhoun. Failing to secure Cal
houn's appointment to this position
Secretary Bryan probably will feel
compelled to provide for Calhoun In
his own department, and 1t is re-
ported that he may be appointed
Consul General to Cuba. position
with salary of $4,000 a year.
Perkins for appointment as United
States arsha land Calhoun appointed
to a position In the Consular service
seems the most likely forecast at
this time from Washington view
point.
L'Engle Losing Ont.
w. X. Dorman has been nominated
for appointment as postmaster at
Live Oak. This nomination was sent
to the Senate after long contest
over charges filed against Dormau
| by unsuccessful candidates In Flor
ida, and others, chief among them
being Representative L'Engle, who
has frequently volunteered the state
ment that he would personally see
that Dorman was never appointed.
L'Engle called on Postmaster General
Burleson several times and made
charges against Dorman, but tho
Postmaster General paid no attention
to L'Engle. evidently considering his
protests of no weight,
Representative Clark has been tire
less in his efforts to secure Dorman's
nomination and thus far has con-
Quoted a successful fight. 1t is prob
able L'Engle will carry his fight to
tn. Senate Committee on Postofices
in an endavor to block Dorm ms con-
firmation, but his efforts will prob
cbly be as fruitless there as they
were at the Postofice Department.
lT.Engle's boasted pull" seems to be
growing less with both the executive
and legislative bodies the longer he
remains In Washington.

The Civic Christmas Plan.

Practical plans are started in good sea
son for the community Christmas cele-
bration which The Star suggested a few
days ago. A committee of citizens has
been organized and the work has heen
subdivided to insure the best possible re-
suits. Following upon the wholly salts
factory civic observance of Independence
day last July II is appropriate that the
same spirit then manifested should be
shown in the matter of commemorating
the great Christian festival of winter.
Other cities have shown the way. Giant
Christmas trees have been erected In
public spaces. with choirs drilled to rem
der carols and chants and other songs
appropriate to- the season and instru-
mental music provided. These Christmas
festivals have been in the highest degree
reverential and inspiring. and there is
every reason to believe that Washing
tons civic Christmas will be OF the same
character A project Of this kind ap-
peals to all classes of the people. and
there should be no question whatever of
q sufficient financing TO permit a full exc
cution of the plans of the committee. A
few cents apiece from each adult Wash :
ingtonian will insure a civic Christmas
celebration for the capital in every re-
spect satisfactory and immeasuraby valu-
able as a means of fostering community
spirit

The New York Police Job.

Because Mayor-elect Mitchell has sailed
for Panama on vacation the report
spreads that he is about to ask Col. Goe-
thals TO accept Office under him as police
commissioner The deduction appears to be
fairly reasonable, for Col Goethals is per-
haps the best advertised army officer to-
day and il seems to be felt that an army
officer can most effectively handle the
difficulties of the metropolitan police sys-
tenn. But Col Goethals' richly deserved
advertisement has been due to a line of
work which is by no means a aualifica-
ton for the task of administering the
New York police force. 1t is one thing
70 dig a canal, even the greatest canal
in the world, and even against the most
serious difficulties. and quite another
thing to cope with the conditions that OBJ
tain in New York. The metropolitan job
calls for a man Of courage, a man of
resource. a man Of absolute independence.
Col. Goethals has undoubtedly shown
himself qualified in all these respects.
But he is an engineer. not a politician: a
constructor rather than a disciplinarian
At Panama he has had no trouble on the
score OF his authority. and his success
has been due largely to the fact that he
has been practically unhampered In his
work No man can expect to take the
New York police commissionership In
such conditions. To make good he must
contend against graft ingrained in the
force: not even the complete elimination
of Tammany can give him assurance of
immunity from corrupt influences. The
mayors term is for two years and at the

Frigates and Smooth -Bores ?
the Chicago Evening Post

From the Chicago Evening Post
Why is it not as we'll for the nations of
the world to be equally weak as equally
strong in armament? The question Is
suggested by Winston Churchills naval
holiday proposal. which has been made
the subject OF an approving resolution by
Representative In Congress Hensley of
Missouri. Mr.. Churchill's plan contem-
plates simply no battleship building
program for all nations for one year. If
the suggestion be adopted the great gov
ernments will save some money for the
time being. but there is no assurance
that they will not spend in a second year
twice the saving of one year. The only
reason for the building of battleships by
any country Is that 1t may keep pace in
naval construction with the other pow
ers. No one country wants another coun-
try to get ahead of it. lest If war should
come annihilation for the weaker sea
power should come with it, Why not go
back to the wooden ships and smooth
bore guns which cost so little? If no coun-
try had anything but ships of oak and
cannon Of ordinary iron. all fleets, save of
course. for preponderance of numbers in
some cases. would be equal when meeting
broadside to broadside Would not equal
weakness serve the same purpose as
equal strength? The battle would go as
nearly always it must CO. if luck be elm
mated to the more skillful belligerent.

end of that time the corrupt machine
may be restored to power. 1t usually IS
after a period of reform. The cleaning
out Of the police force in New York. even
with the aid of a vigorous. fearless dis
trict attorney and a conscientious. inde-
pendent mayor and supporting board OF
aldermen. is job that will call for more
than two years of the hardest sort OF
work on the part of a man of tact. abii-
ity determination and the highest integ-
rity. Col Goethals reputation is too
great for him to risk it even in com
parative degree by assuming task that
must necessarily be distasteful and may
be failure.

Expectations are high but maybe not COO
high when the proved courage and ability
OF the man are considered.
Tammany is understood to be his prin-
cipal target and Tammany supported
him for reelection. But in accepting its
support he incurred no obligations what
ever to the organization. or to anybody
connected with it. He knew Tammany,
and Tamnany him He would have been

covered him. put him forward of its own
accord. and been the principal factor in
his success at the polls. In that event
he would have accepted an unworthy
sponsor knowingly. and be open now to
reproaches by his sponsor.
But he owes nothing to Tammany. but
everything to the forces that did put
him forward and for the express pur-
pose Of carrying on work already begun
BY him against a system having its
roots in Tammany and all for which 1t
stands as a political organization. The

But il is likely that there are other
graft trails besides Tammanys. and II

Simpler Court Procedure.

From the New York World.
Conferences held under the direction
of the legal research bureau of Column
bia University give renewed hope of a
simplified system of court procedure in
criminal cases. and eventually of sim
plified procedure in cases of all kinds.
There is no dispute as to the need of
such reform. host of judges, law
yers and Legislators have united in
bearing witness to the evils of the
existing system. Moreover the facts
that develop under the eyes of the
public in cases that attract popular
attention have long ago convinced Law
nen that law reform ought to have
prompt attention. The conference.
therefore. will turn not so much upon
what changes are needed as upon how
they can be best effected. 1t is not to
be expected that unanimity on any is
sue will be attained. Still. something

War and Politics.

Andrew D. White. the venerable states
man and educator. does not approve OF
Mr. Wilson's course in the Mexican mat
ter and fears that as the result OF ~
We may drift into war with that country
In an interview he says:
"A war is. however bad thing for
the people who bring it on. The gen
erals who carry it to a successful finish
are the ones whom the people demand Tor
President rather than the ones who were
responsible for it. This is illustrated by
the case of Polk in the last century. and
many others. Lincoln was the great ex-
ception to this rule, but Grant. Harrison
and Hayes followed him. Roosevelt s
presidency was result of the Spanish
war.
Gen. Grant was elected President on the
strength of his military record. but IN
both of his races he confronted party
not only poorly led. but badly disor-
ganized. Gov. Seymour was an unwilling
candidate. and a wean one, while Mr.
Greeley at the head OF the democratic
party and placed there by coterie of
newspaper editors who had never agreed
on anything before in their lives, was a
grotesque figure foredoomed to defeat.
AS for Hayes and Harrison. while their
military records were excellent they were
inconspicuous and neither man was NOM
mated for President on the strength OF
his services in the civil war.
Mr. Roosevelt reached the White House
by accident. Had he offered against
Mr. Mckinley in 1D0o he would have
been badly beaten for the republican
nomination. The Spanish war yielded its
chief political reward that year to the
commander-in-chief of the Army and
Navy. who in this country never takes
the field.
OF different nature. and from far
less distinguished source. is gossip to the
effect that Mr.. Wilson is trying to avoid
war for the reason advanced by MIR.
White. He fears some bold soldier boy"
may rise up to fix attention and dazzle
the country with a SNOWY uniform and a
glittering sword.
Mr. Wilson needs no defense against
this charge. war with Mexico, fought
under his presidential direction-and
fought. as it would be, to success-would
result as advantageously to his political
fortunes as the war with Spain did to
the fortunes of Mr.. Mckinley. There was
talk of Admiral Dewey for the demo-
cratic nomination in 1900 and he was a
very taking figure that year; but he
could not have defeated Mr.. Mckinley.
Mr. Bryan again ran, but was not at all
strengthened in his race because of the
readiness with which he had put on Uncle
Sans uniform and prepared for action
the year before.
No. we may all be sure that. in his
considerations and decisions respecting
Mexico Mr. Wilson is giving not THE
n 70 ho
tion is today in no sense political. If
war comes both parties, but not as par
ties, will help fight 1t. The last dollar
and the last man will then be at the
Presidents command; and If in 1916 the
democrats get the usufruct of the sue
cess achieved in the field. that will simply
be the fortunes of war in their bearing
on politics after peace has been restored.
