The ColonePs Present Program.

With larynx that misses FIRE, Col. Roosevelt easily
retains his place the countrys premier politician
and proceeds to make the larynx do him service while
it rests. He said just enough before sailing from
England for home yesterday disclose the program
he now has in mind, and yet leave the most mpor-
tant part of it subject to change without reversing
himself.
Apparently, he has made up his mind irreyocaly not
to for governor of New York this year, for he
permitted himself to be quote directly that sub
ject: There is to be "sdetracking in Albany" he
must keep on the main line to the White House. The
White House item in the itinerary bears quotation
marks The newspaper correspondent had to vouch
for that as an impression" he got from the colonel
and Judging from his dispatch the impression was
we'll aimed and easily found its mark.
1t is too carly in 1914 for 1916 Presidential candi-
date to do much talking and most opportunely the de-
fective larynx forbids it. So the colonel must pre-
pare very carefully small number of addresses or
statements for in the approaching Congressional
campaign and observe the effect and study the Nove-
his leisure and guide his political ambitions accord
ingly. Whether he will seek to steer by the Repub-
lcan compass not may be determined by the rela-
tive of Republicans and Progressves at the
polls
Whatever his decision, his responsibility to the peo-
pie will be great. Already he has denounced the Dem
ocratic policies and further and bitter arraign-
ment of the Wilson Administrators rinous course is
promised. Dissatisfied voters even now are disposed
to blame him than any other factor for the very
conditions which he denounces the party in power for
producing. If by his political activities he contributes
sufficient aid to perpetuate Democratic control, he
may say farewell to all hope of again attaining high
elective Office He is wise to take advantage of the
full time allowance in making his decision, with an
ear open to mutterings among the steadfast G. O. P.
leaders that proclaim disposition toward deliberate
and effective action disconnecting him from the old
party and leaving him practically where he was when
he returned from Africa in 1912

What Is Political Party For?

We publish in another place this week extracts from
remarkable letter by Hon. c. Canrl Of Georgetown,
Ky. The gs of this letter is that this honorable
gresham believes the object OF the Democratic Party
to get offices and salaries for its own members
His idea to be that have the offices OF the
country to be given to the crowd that get the
votes and when party carries election they shall
proceed to turn out all the office holders and public
wants OF the opposite party in order that they and their
friends may hold these Offices and draw the salaries.
To mind this is perfectly heahenish view of the
matter Savage tribes in Patagonia might that way.
But that educated gentleman in Kentucky look
upon government in this fashion is surprise.
This is the way we understand the matter.

four years if his service is faithful and efficient.

policy If is question between high tariff or low tariff
the high tariff organize Republican party, the low
tariff organizea Democratic party, and the that gets
the most votes will determine the policy of the govern
men on that question and on all the other questions
which are set forth in the platform.
But when political party has carried election
and put in office its own president and majority OF the
members OF Congress, has no right D upset tie business

For many years this ''spoils SYSTEM as it is called
OF turning out faithful government employees because
they belong to political party the other has been
disgrace to America. Gradually we have been growing
like other civilized countries in making the posi-
ons OF public servants permanent The greatest
men OF all parties have approved this All the recent Re-
publican presidents have advocated this kind OF Civil
Service Reform, it is caled-that is, making certain
that faithful servants in government positions like post
offices will be rewarded by continuance regardless of the
political party to which man belongs. Grover Cleve-
land Democrat upheld the principle to large
extent and Woodrow Wilson is winning the applause of
the world by his stand for Civil Service Reform He

The past week has been delight

is the writer's good fortune 10 be a
near friend of Prof. Montgomery,
your 4. :. Farm Demonstration. The
few days tugethcr were largely
spent on the road where We had ev-
cry opportunity to meet those who
are Interested in better farms and
farm methods. II is certainly a
rare privilege you farmers are en-
loving to have one So interesting
aud practical to instruct YOU IN the
better and more scientific ways Of
treating your land and making bet
ter crops which in the end add JOY
and pleasure to farm life. Let ms say
here IL pays 10 heed the instructions
given by our government experts.
The observations made about the
Agricultural Department Of Berea
COLLEGE are interesting. II is worth
any farmers time to visit same and
get pointers from the real thing in
operation. From the viewpoint Of
a visitor and one interested IN the
welfare Of agriculturists in general,
il seems that YOU ought to profit
much by these demonstrations. and
practice what you learn upon your
own acres. Thus cooperate and
make your neighborhood a little
better than that one across the
creek or on the other side of the
mountain.
