THEIR ROYAL HEALTH.

From the Oklahoma City Oklahoman.l
The painful dullness of royalty's life
has, it is evident, been agreeably d.
yerted by the slight unpleasantness
which is now ripping Europe asunder.
Although press reports indicate that
perhaps 1000 men have been slain
and injured in the last few weeks, the
robust health Of potentates on the
thrones seems to be unaffected.
Last reports indicated that King
George was progressing nicely; Emper-
or Nicholas had suffered no setback
from his customary excellent spirits;
the Kaiser's condition appeared to be
satisfactory; President Poincare never
felt better; King A,be-. was fairly fit;
Emperor Francis Joseph was as well as
could be expected, and King Peter was
getting along "tol able. "
Considering these reports in their
importance. why should we be discour-
aged over 200, 900 manned and dead /?

POLITICS OR BUsINEsS7


Dr. Martin G. Brumbaugh who is
running for governor Of Pennsylvania,
shows that he has learned one great
weakness in the administration OF the
public's business, when he says:
If you want a political administra-
ton Of your public affairs, by which
mean an administration in which men
shah be appointed to Office because
they have the influence of one or two
or SIX or ten men back of them, and
the only support they have to the office
is the friendships of a group like that
If that is the kind of administration
you want in Pennsylvania you don't
want to vote for me for your governor.
1t is good TO learn that candidates
are actually finding il worth while to
express such principles. or course
when a man is appointed to office not
because of special fitness but because
Of political influence it is unfair to eN-
pect that the work of the office will be
as well or as economically carried on
as when a man is chosen for ability
At the same time a higher salary is
likely to be asked Regular work tends
to have a standard Of compensation.
The reward for political service is what
you can get. We don't know whether
