"sTAND-PAT" CIVIL SERVICE.

Charles w. Eliot, former presi,
dent of Harvard University, CRITICS
ed the republican administration for
having placed fourth-class postmast'
ers under civil service rule. DR.
Eliot says:
"Fourth-class postmasters were
patronage appointees. They are u
be continued in office now simply be-
cause of the application of the spolis
system. The blow has been struck
from the capital at true civil SER
vice
DR.. Eliot has given a valuable
hint to those who imagine that the
republican administrat ton means
civil service in the arrangement OF
public office. That administration is
something like the partisan republj-
can, who later in life was found
supporting an independent ticket in
municipal election. He was expect
ed to deliver a "non-partisan' adj
dress. When the hour for the meet
ing arrived the hall was crowded.
The orator took his place upon the
platform and beating his chest
proudly, began: Il don't care what
mans politics Island then the
old time spirit returning to him, he
made haste to add-"just so he's a
republican. THE Commoner.

THE GROWING WORK.,

Governor Wilson last week sign
ed seven antitrust bills, which form
the browning work Of his administers
ton. The bills passed practically
as introduced.
These measures illustrate the po-
litical methods of our president-elect,
When he first took office as governor
of New Jersey, Mr.. Wilson recon-
mended reforms precisely like those
embodied in the bills just signed
The legislature, one house of which.
was republican, ignored the COVER
nor's advice. ...
Without wasting time or effort,
Gov. Wilson turned to reforms which
could be passed. He secured a pub
lie utilities board, a corrupt practices
act, a series of laws improving con-
ditons of labor. Then as soon as
he had behind him legislature
elected on his own platform, he
brought forward antitrust legislation
which puts New Jersey in the fore
front of progressive commonwealth.
Here is no raving, .ranting, nor
calling of names. Here is high prin-
ciple, clear vision. and marvellous Ell
ficiency in getting the right things
done. ..a., III.

DEMOCRACY MADE AN END OF
TT

The people knew what they wanted
at the last national election-and
they got it. They made a record
along progressive democratic lines.
The record shows that Iowa went
for Wilson by $4,000 majority, but
Kenyon, who had made record
along the lines of legislation that thu
Deople wanted, was elected senator,
although he was republican. The
same thing occurred in Nebraska.
Wilson carried tina state by 3''ooo
plurality, and then Norris, repuoE-
can, was elected to the United states
senate. In California the First coz
gressional district gave Wilson about
8 900 majority and then returned
CONGRESSMAN Kent, republican,
or he had been a republican up to
that time--by a majority OF l,Soo.
, The continued assertion made by
the standpat republican papers that
Wilson is minority president,
which rests on the fact that the Taft
and Roosevelt vote when added to-
gether is greater than that cast for
Wilson, has no foundation in the
real condition in the United States.
The r.'policies" for which Wilson
stands have a greater majority be-
hind, them than were ever behind
any president since the days CT
and it is with policies
that the people are concerned. The
people were so dissatisfied with the
policies of the republican party that
the members Of that party revolted
ana the vote showed that even IN
that party there were more men
who were opposed to them than
were who supported them.
The truth is that the people are
more nearly unit for the policies
Of the democratic party and with
Wilson as the leader than they haze
ever been since this government was
organized. While there was unanl-
Ius vote for Washington for presi
dent. there was 70 such agreement
among the people as to the policies
that ought to he followed as there
is today. "The interests" would do
well to make a note of that fact.
They have ruled this country just as
lOng as they will be permitted to
rule it.--St. Joe Observer.

TH1RTY-SIN ELOQUENT CONNlC'
TIONS.

Following the conviction at GIN
cinnati of twenty-five responsible in
dividuals for violating the Sherman
law in the Cash Register Trust case,
comes the conviction at Detroit OF
eleven responsible individuals fer
violating the Sherman law in the
Bath Tub cases.
Here are thrty-siX responsible
men found guilty within two days OF
violating the criminal clause OF the
antitrust act.
Yet for years we have been told
that this clause could not be en-
forced; that juries would not con-
Wet reputable business men of con-
spiracy to monopolize trade. When
Mr.. Roosevelt was carrying on his
campaign against the Sherman law
he used to send historical messages
to congress explaining that business
could not be carried on If the act
was enforced, and that it was well
nigh impossible to get at the head OF
a corporation, at the man who is
really most guilty
But when capable attorney-gen-
eral really undertakes to enforce 4
law he has no great difficulty IN
procuring convictions. 1t is merely
a matter of evidence, as it is in ell
other criminal cases. And business
does not cease with the enforcement
of the law. On the contrary, bust
ness is much better than it was when
Mr.. Roosevelt was screaming to the
country that business would be de-
stroyed if the Sherman act were Ell
forced.-New York World.

WHAT IT MEANS.

1T is pity that those who talk sc
glibly about intervention in Mexico
can not be made to understand what
intervention means.
1t means hard work for two years
for an army of 100000 men. Most
military authorities say that 2oO,'
900 men will be needed.
1t means the cost Of from 10000
to 10000 lives. even ii there should
be no severe fighting after the first
few months.
1t means the expenditure Of at
least $500, 100000. Under peace
conditions, our army costs nearly
$500 per year per man; and the
expense would increase with war.
1t means that for two years the
best energies Of the nation must be
not to peace and progress,
but to war and conquest.
Ii means that for an unknown
period this army OF 100000 men
n ust stay in Mexico, suppressing
Quelling instruction,
preserving order.
1t means a riot Of expenditures,
followed by a season OF hard times;
a bonanza for contractors and
slough Of despo&d fer taxpayers.
1t means that every Spanish
speaking country III the western
hemisphere will hate and fear this
la.ion, and do cvci thing possible
to injure it.

officials of the National Cash Regis

Patterson, president of the company
is ordered to prison for one year.
Other officials of the company re-

three months in jail.
This is different from being fined
