Mayor Kline Would Show No OVER
haste or Partisanship in Prompt
w Getting Rid of Waldo.

DIavor I<lina's desire TO move slowly in the way oi
replacing Gaynor appointees or reversing Gay n0i
noI,cies Is ON the whole commendable. Though not
- nolitica1 supporter of Mr.. Gaynor, he has shown
much more respect for the latters memory than
have the managers of the Gaynor League. IneS
lost Just about sixty minutes in finding SUBSTITUTE
to head the Gaynor ticket, only TO be emphaucails
rebuked by that substitute. General Kline anu Ills
predecessor were warm personal friends ana Tue
pronreties of that friendship would require MAIN
enance of the status quo in the city administration
at least until after the Gaynor funeral
The new Mayor takes common sense view wneh
he says that he will not make wholesale renioN"i'
for partisan reasons The time between no" anu
January 1 next is too short to permit genera It,
organization Of the city service, and few men OF the
right character and capacity would care TO become
administrators for so brief a period. We fully ap-
prove this statement which the Mayor made on cat
urday: "No head of a department now IN olnce
will lose his place unless he be proved to be unht
and no man will be discharged because of his poll
tics"
There is one important department, however, 10
which this pledge of non-interference cannot Apply
That is the Police Department. Mayor Kline was
,nonober of the Board Of Aldermen which invest-
gated conditions in the Police Department lie Is
fully aware of the efforts made by the Commissioner
and his aids to shield police netciency and corrup
ton. Not only has the head of the department
given no aid to District Attorney Whitman in the
latters campaign against the police grafters but al
the influence of the department has been used in
behalf of the men and interests threatened by Mr.
Whtman's exposures. Mr.. Waldo has been the
public eulogst Of the police associations which oS
tracized Walsh because he willing to make some
public atonement for his crimes and which manlpu-
lated their bylaws so to cut off the Dement'S due
TO Walsh's widow.
We cannot imagine that the new Mayor VIII leave
Waldo undisturbed in Office for the next three
and a half months To do would be to ignore
abundant evidence of his unftness for the place
and TO discredt the issue on which the Republican
party earnestly desired to make Mr.. Whitman the
anti-Tammany candidate for Mayor. No offensive
craftsmanship could possibly be involved in putting
the Police Department in the hands of Commits
sioner who would not regard the District Attorney
as the forces enemy"

The Plutocratic Farmers.

The Department Of Agriculture has announced
that it is about TO issue monthly magazine on
crops, soil conditions and the like. to help the
farmers Of the nation. Along with that comes an
other announcement that the farmers have been
making more money most Of their produce this
year than they did year ago. Potatoes, butter,
eggs chickens, oats, barley and cotton bring in
more money for their producers than they did a
wear ago. Increased profits on hogs, calves and
sheep help to fatten the farmers bank roll.
1t is perfectly well known that the farmers now
ride I'm automobiles and own most Of the railroad
and bank stock Of the country. The various food
trusts" and the mddlemen all aver that the farmer
is the real Of the high cost Of living Under
the circumstances it really if the govern
ment ought to discourage rather than encourage his
swollen fortune Why not have Congressional In
vestigation Of the farmers trust, or bring suit
against it for restitution Of profits to the ultimate
consumer?

The Small Post Makes inexperienced
Officers

Small army posts increase the cost Of the army
and reduce its efficiency. They multiply problems Of
maintenance administration and supply, and every
such problem represents q fresh outlay Of public
money BY isolating divisions in widely separated
parts Of the country they make manpuvres on the
large scale impossible, at least prohbitvely ex
pensive The small post is bride to local political
interests, and the Congressman who have thwarted
its abolition are robbing the country to insure their
tenure of Office.
Mexican possibilities throw grim light on the
result
In case Of war we should take the field without
officers who have handled corps and with few who
have handled, at any time, more than five thou
SAND men. Most OF them would never have handled
together the three arms of the service The commits
sariat and medical departments, however adequate
10 the strain Of small manGuvres, would be in grave
danger Of collapse under the pressure OF the new
and larger problems Of supplying 100000 men. We
should in brief, be pittng an untred organization
against the enemy, or rather demanding Of the army
that it weld itself into organization, attainable
only through large scale manGuvres, in the face of
the enemy.

Skin and Bones VS.. Pink.and. Plumpness.

It is the oldest quarrel in history. Eve and
Iilth very likely had their first quarrel over waist
lines. What woman could expect Queen Elizabeth
to forgive the comfortably encushioned Mary: The
great Bony no doubt regretted his paunched figure
far more than the fatal charge at Waterloo. About
fat and thin has ragged veritable storm of Jeal-
ousy, signs, hate and tears.
So il is easy to picture Mrs. John s. Flannery'
president Of the Iousekeepers' Cooperative Asso-
citation, of Pittsburgh, leading delegation OF en-
battled fat women into the department stores OF
her city with this battle cry:
What chance has fat got with such
STYLES? Slim and scrawny women have monopoly.
Whoever started the theory that skin and bones
constituted beauty anyway? This thing has gone
on long enough and ii has now got to stop
"Slim and scrawny' indeed! Shades of Diana.
What can be so beautiful bones! Only, we
hasten to add with entire Partially, the charming
trimness Of the long race Of Venuses from Meos to
date
We fear, however, that Mrs. Flannery has poor
ground 10 stand on when il comes TO her clothes
crusade At the risk Of squirting slightly in par
tcular direction we boldly assert that really fat
woman has no chance with any style. If that be
treason, let the Heavy Brigade Of Pittsburgh make
the most Of it.
