Is as liberal in appointing men OF the
opposite party to high positions.
Judge Nathan Con win soon leave
the federal bench to become a United
States senator. The. Telegram does
not believe his successor on the bench
viii be Republican. Nor does 1t
believe that the Bryan policy viii
permit the appointment Of any Re-
publican to the supreme bench.
Bryan shows strong desire to work
out end foist his policies on the
country through the supreme court
ana that court when almost wholly
Republican came in for'his bitter de.
nunciation. The Telegram ventures
the assertion that President Wilson
will not appoint any more Republic
cans to judicial position than the
law may require him to do.

Wilson md .Inrlgcs.

President Wilson has made one
non-political appointment This fact
ELECTS the following from the Blue,
field Telegraph:
THE appointment by president
Wilson of a man who served under
both Roosevelt and Taft as CON-
missioner of labor and who describes
himself as an Independent in poll
tics, is said to be hailed as as1 indi-
cation OF his liberal views. The real
evidence of independence was shown
by Taft in selecting mal of the OPP
posite party for cabinet and supreme
court positions. Wilson has still to
equal that record"
President Wilson will soon have
an opportunity to show whether he

The CITY Water.

In a recent communication to the
Telegram. which was duly pub.
lished, Perkins Boynton, city chem
ist, asks the following questions:
Why is it that the people OF
clarksburg, who voted for bond
issue to extend and improve the city
water supply, persist in drinking
water from wells of unknown pur-
ity, oitentimes located near sources
of contamination. in preference 10
the filtered water supplied by the
city?"
Probably for the reason that SUI
ficIently satisfactory assurance
ire purity ofthe city's filtered water
has not been given to the
general public. Many consumers,
who avoided the water supplied By
the city before the water works sys-
TEN was improved as they would
avoid the smallpox, are still OF. the
impression that there are impurities
still in the pipes and that the water
is not safe for drinking purposes.
Shortly after the filtration plant
was installed. announcement was
made thai the water was fit 10
drink. but since then no policy of
publicity in reard to the actual con-
dition of the water has been pur-
sued, and many consumers are in
ignorance of the subject.
If the city water is excellent, as
is intimated in Mr.. Boyton's in
teresting communication, and no
doubt it is, it would not be a bad
idea for the water board and the
city chemist to conduct for the ben
eft Of the public during an extended
period, a public report of the chem
zeal analyses of the city water. This
would be matter of general news
the newspapers should like to pub
lish. 1T would be news, too, that
should help to advertise Clarksburg
and overcome the prejudice that IN
some quarters still exists against
the city ON account of its former bad
water supply. Let the people have
some more light from an authorfta-
tive source on their water supply.

Taft's order Considered.

Postmaster General Burlescn de-
clares that he sympathizes with The
order of President Tart placing 35.-
900 third and fourth class postmas-
ters under civil service, hut he has
an If. Mr.. lBurleson after spending
some time with the president stated
that it was his belief that the Taft
order did not 80 far enough as ex-
aminations should have been made
in many instances and as other in
stances were based on politics.
Mr.. Burleson may be correct in
some of the instances as to lncom-
potency or political beneficiary.
However, as a genera1 RUE. men OF
experience are better qualified than
men OF inexperience. Mr.. Taft did
not appoint any new men and then
put them under civil service.
Should an executive order issue
declaring all these places vacant and
ordering civil service examinations.
the men fired would be eligible 10
admission to the examination and
their grades would doubtless be bet
ter than those OF inexperienced
men. 1t would be interesting then
to note what part politics would
play, If any. in making appoint
mellts.

Grating Policeman.

Investigators of police graft scan
dals in New York City have brought
to public notice the fact that the
policeman end his family during his
first few years on the force there are
compelled to 1--we on a rather slim
allowance. The first year patrol
man, for instance, gets $500 a year
and has to pay out of his salary
from $500 to s275 Or equipment
and station house expenses. The
city pays for nothing of his equip
ment except his badge and the pre-
cinct numbers on his coat. Even
the ice used at the station houses
has to be paid for by the policemen,
With an average of $3.50 for these
expenses, the patrolman really has
but $3.50 with which to support
himself and family. That is a few
cents for then $40 week.
With such a shameful pittance as
this it is no wonder that graft AMI
corruption are constantly practiced
among members of the police force
and that New YORK has police
scandals as regular ana inevitable
things. 1t is not morally right
to justify dishonesty among police
men on the ground that they are
underpaid, yet the impellng
causes are much the same as those
that drive girls and young women to
lives of shame and show that New
Workers themselves are partially to
blame for the deplorable existence
of police bribery. The poverty
pinched policemen are virtually
driven to it.
1t is a peculiar and entirely uu-
Unsuitable system that requires po-
licemoa to purchase the equipment
they are compelled to have in order
to fill their duties. In a sense. it is
a form of bribery itself; the police
man really has to pay out a third
Of his salary in order to get his JOB.
so why should he be expected not TO
follow the example set him by the
people and his superior oficers2

pell,ng policemen to purchase their

Wilson Snstnins Taft.

President Wilson is said to sustain
the action of former President TAFT
in vetoing the sundry bill which ex-
empted labor unions and farmers
organizations from prosecution under
the Sherman antitrust law.
The Taft position is soundiand he
was correct IN calling it class legls-
lation whether vicious or not as ne
termed it. Mr.. Taft took the posi-
ton that legislation should not be
attached to appropriation bills. That
appears to be sound too. Appropri-
ations are made to carry out laws
and laws are not made to adjust
themselves to appropriations. al
though the pork barrel" plan of,tne
Democrats in Congress and it's tariff
policy are largely based on the illog-
icai part of the question.
It is significant that the lower
house filled with Democrats precipl-
lately passed the sundry bill over
rats signature in view fthe SINH
Tafts signature in view of the SINH
in the matter. 1t is evident that the
house was peeved at Taft or desired
to show displeasure and Indifference
toward him. That governed its ac-
ton more than careful, sensible
thought. The question is what does
the Democratic house think about it
since the position of president Will
son has become known?

WEBSTERS BLUE BACK SPELLER

The effort to have the old Web
Isters blue back speller adopted as a
textbook in the public schools fail
ed to become a law. One of the At
lanta papers is giving copy of this
very instructive book as a premium
and one is kept on our editorial
table as a book of reference beside
the big dictionary.
Many old people whose education
began with that unpretentious lit
tie book cherish a fondness for it and
believe it is good enough to be
studied now. A group of elderly
farmers were discussing the merits
of the blue-back speller with Mr..
Leard who gives it as a premium

the heroine, who was a plump and
beautiful young widow, abstains he
roically from good things to eat and
reduces her flesh by baths and exer-
cises she finally confesses that per-
lection of form arrives only by the
manipulation of laces in a made to
order corset that controls the figure
of woman. She would not own up
that the improving article of attire
pinched or bound her anywhere.
There are corsets designed for really
fat people that lace in front and

entirely comfortable and although
they may not transform a fat Juno
