THE PATRONAGE.

ITO the victor belongs the spolls" is a phrase
which has been the object OF attack at the
hands OF political idealists since long before
Andrew Jackson unbushingly made it a watch
word and program. but it has remained as
a policy of ali political parties nevertheless.
Few have boldly ayowed allegiance to 1t as
did "Old Hickory" but fewer still have repu-
dated il In practice.
In one sense there is no fault to be found
with the doctrines The party In power is ex-
pected TO carry out certain policies and must
appoint TO many Offices those who are In sym
pathy with 1t. Moreover there is no reason
Why II should not name to other Offices men
OF the same political faith. Civil service regu-
lat1ons should be extended. but where appoint
ments must be made II is not to the discredit
OF an administration that It appoint one OF the
faithful provided he is qualified to hold the
position. The Norfolk Vir0inian- Pslot we'll ex-
presses the case when 1t says that: THE cases
are rare indeed in which Democrat cannot

be found for any position under the govern
nent possessing all the qualifications which
Jefferson declared to be essential In a public
servant-honesty, fidelity and capacity and
continues:
And these conditions being met, we see
many why, and why not. the
party In power should select the agents to
carry on the public business from the rank
and file OF its own membership. The carpen-
ter who is responsible for the job should not
go into the shop of his defeated competitor
for hands and tools with which to execute his
plans. Democratic policies will be hes. ear
ried out by Democratic instrumentalities The
camp sleeps we'll when none but the faithful
are guard
When incompetents are put In Office in pay
ment for party services and a good official is
turned out of position in which experience
is a necessary qualification and political opn-
ion is no qualification at all the practice is
abused and it is to the abuse OF the practice
that serious objection can be made.

WHATCOUNT

In every phase of human endeavor
1t Is the results that spell success or
failure.
II is the results which have been
achieved by Charles Lincoln Smith in
the correction of defects of the eye
that have won for him the inter
national reputation which he now en-
joys.
By means Of method which he
discovered almost quarter of a CEN
fury ago and which he steadily has
advanced to perfection, this remark
able Refractionist has been able to
bring to hundreds of thousands Of
people the untold delight which comes
to those who have had the clearness
Of their vision restored through his
instrumentality
His method is his only. 1t is the
product Of years of study and re-
search and its secrets are locked In
his brains alone.
Now, after years OF travel in this
country. Mexico, Cuba and Europe,
he is again back In Richmond with
his vast fund of experience obtained
during almost a third of a century
OF practice.

FGGI.ESTxON FOR Y. u.

The many friends OF j. D. Eggleston, former
superintendent OF public instruction, will re-
ceive with pleasure the report that he may
yet be chosen president of the Virginia Poly
technc institute.
Mr.. EggIeston by his work as State super
intendent OF schools, did much for the up
building OF the public school system of Viz
ginis and his appointment by the federal
government to the rural department of the
federal educational work showed the esteem
in which he is held as an educator and the con-
fdence felt In hts knowledge of agricultural
education.
The " p. l. board has sought in vain for
the proper man for the place, according to
reports. those best qualified refusing for rea-
sons OF their own to leave their work to

of Virginia and one believed by many well

NOT OUR FUNERAL.

Nobody outside of Washington will get ex-
cited over President-Elect Wilson's desire to
eliminate the inaugural ball this year and in
the future. Washingtonans want TO hold the
ball because II is source of revenue and
many merchants and others In the city contri-
buted to the expenses of the celebration ex-
pccting to be reimbursed from the proceeds.
They displayed great patriotism and civic pride
because they thought II would not cost them
anything, but IL the ball is eliminated they
stand the chance of losing great part of their
contributions" Naturally, therefore, they are
disposed TO feel aggrieved at Mr. Wilson as
they would be aggrieved at any else who
denied them chance to pose publc~spirited
citizens at no cost to themselves.
The rest OF the citizens of the country are
In position. however, to regard the prospect
with equanimty. That there will be no inau-
gural ball will not lessen the desire of any Of US
to attend the inauguration. Many OF us do
not care to dance while having better time
In the capital city anyway and those Of US
who do wish 1t know that the last thing done at
an inaugural ball is to dance.

CURRENT COMMENT


Representative Carter Glass comes awav
from conference with Governor Wilson de

now has of currency and banking reform The

IDEAS ara, but il they please Mr. Glass they
please about the sanest and best-tu formed De-
mocrat In the house 10 currency questions
and one who will have much to do with shap-

The Tribune has sized up Mr. Glass very
accurately. He is level-headed to start with
and during the years he had been on the COM
mittee on banking and currency he has studied
the subject OF currency reform to great ad-
