Loyal Democrats VIII lnolst That the
New Administration Be Given
Chance to Make Record While
in Power.

With every change OF administers
ton. especially when it involves a
change Of parties, it is assumed by
many that the chief function of the
president is to fill Offices. On the
whole, there has been comparatively
little talk about the Offices since the
election. But we may be sure that it
will increase. and that the new presi-
dent will be subjected to considerable
pressure. Some changes, OF course.
there must be. Some there are that
ought to be made. But II we will but
remember that such changes are for
the good OF the service We shall real
lie hat the quality Of the service and
not the personnel Of the force is the
thing to be considered.
The people chose Woodrow Wilson
as their president and voted the Dem
ocrats into power because they
wished certain policies carried out.
Few of the Democrats who supported
their party in the recent campaign
care anything whatever about the Of
fees, What they wish is to see their
party and its president make a record
that shall commend itself to the peo-
pie. That is all they ask. The coun-
try as a whole is deeply interested in
the work that is to be done. And 1t
will not show much patience with
the few who demand that MIR. Wilson
turn from serving the people to serv-
ing those who desire jobs. Rather
they will resent any such interference
as a piece of i~mpertinence.
Mr.. Wilson is going to have no easy
time. He will need all the help and
support he can get. II he does his
duty-as we believe he Will-he will
have little time to devote to the dis
tribution Of patronage. The question
is not one of keeping Republicans In
Office, but of strengthening the hands
Of the administration for the great
work hat it will be called on to do.
Democrats who are really loyal to
their party on the ground of principle
will, we are sure, insist that it have
a chance to prove that, popular cont
dence in it is not misplaced. -Four
years hence it will be judged, not by
the number of men It has found jobs
for, but by its record in Legislation

Ceylon Tea.

Tea plantations in Ceyion have been
in existence only 80 years, yet the an
nual exports OF black tea amount TO
nearly 100000. 900 in value. Formerly
coffee constituted Ceylon's main in
dustry, but after a disease OF the pla2t
in 1850 its cultivation was discontin-
ued. Many planters, however, re
couped themselves by tea and rubber
Thanks chiefly to the former article,
the islands old prosperity revived. To-
day Ceylon boasts 1900 plantations.
Plant necessary to tea cultivation is
costly but very laborsaving. The
work itself is not hard; only the eli
mate makes it irksome. What is
wanted mainly of employees is to
watch machinery and feed it from the
stock OF tea leaves awaiting treat
ment. The workers are not Sing
halese, but natives of southern India.
A laborer's wages vary from eight to
sixteen cents a day. while a foreman's
