we'll as by the majority, because it is a doctrine that will serve theil own purpose when the whirligig of politics brings in it's revenges. This
 brief summary of historical change shows plainly enough that in the pres ent situation there is basis of plau- sible theory for the demands of the Senate if the senators were trying to perform their legitimate function and their bounden duty, namely, to get the best men for the public ser vice. It shows also that the president would be quite justified in making his own selections and forcing the sen ators to accept them, if he, on his part, were trying to get the best men or women-for the service and the senators were opposing him.
 Is that really the case? The facts, so far as they are known to the pub lie, do not indicate that it is. There is motley collection of recess ap- pointments from Nebraska to Texas, from New York to North Dakota, which the president has made and which the senators are pretty we'll united in turning down." So far as we have seen, it is not pretended that they are particularly good, or that those who would be named if the advice" of the senators was needed are any better Five of the seven named in the Washington dis patches are nominated for post off ces. They are urged or resisted, it seems, almost wholly with regard to their relation to politics, that is, with regard to the party or personal advan- tage involved.
 If our postal service were organiz- ed on business principles all these post offices would be administered by trained officials, entering the service after competitive tests for fitness and promoted solely for their proved ca 
 pacity to perform their duties honest ly and efficiently. The postal service would be, as it is in the civilized countries on the other side of the Atlantic, business or profession, with tenure for good conduct, With which the strife of parties and the greed of trading politicians would have nothing to do. Such a system is not a dream. It is perfectly prac- tcable, and the United States could have it at any time if congress chose to enact it.
 We could have very close ap- proach to it if MT. Wilson felt in- clined to use all the power given to him under the civil service law. Perhaps that is too much to ask of him in his actual situation. But sure. ly it would be more creditable, anl, we should suppose, much more agree able for him if his only contention with the Senate arose out of his ef- forts to fill all places well, and 1fbt, as appears to be the case at present, over paltry considerations of faction and patronage-New York Times.

DUTY OF THE PRESS.

It was a helpful message to the press and public alike that Dr. Wash ington Gladden. recently delivered to the students of the department of journalism at the University of Kan sas, speaking with particular empha- sis upon the sin of exaggeration, and further, upon the duty of every citi- zen to contribute his best efforts for the public good, with special refer ence to emphasizing the good and minimizing the bad in the equation of life. Dr. Gladden. is a clergyman with a national reputation, and his right to advise the press is primarily based upon the fact that he is a newspaper writer of experience. He says:
 We must learn, if we would pros per as self-governing common wealth.. to see things as they are, and tell the truth about them. We must stop bragging and vaporing, and train
 
 and utter them in restrained and 'em- perate speech. Of course, it is every mans business, in democracy, to contribute to the creation and main tenance of a sound public opinion. It is one of the primary duties of every citizen to be intelligent, with respect to common concerns, and to speak his mind about them. Nobody has any business in commonwealth who isn't a producer of something the commonwealth needs; and your product and mine is good healthy pub lie opinion. The community does need this"
 Reference was made by the speak CT to the injury often inflicted upon innocent persons through the tenden- cy of a portion of the press to ex- aggerate small affairs into sensation al news.
 Conversely, the speaker held that it was the duty of good citizenship to at least place no obstacle in his neighbours way, if he cannot help him.
 'Is it not true" said Dr. Gladden., that one of the deepest needs of our social life is the need of kindler judgment of our neighbors; the need of disposition to see the good side of everybody; the need of cultivat- ing faith in men, and the habit of saying the best things we truly can about everybody we know? And has not newspaper very large respon- sibility in securing such conditions?"
 It is every mans big business, whethe he be of the press or not, to do what he may to make bet. ter world of this. Evil begets evil and good begets good as unfailing;y as night follows day.
 The question to every community is whether it shall go forward in good hope, with cooperation in sustained effort for the common good, or wheth- CT it shall stand still or retrogress, clogged and manacled by malice and unkindness between man and man. And it is with this issue in the sc .le that the influence of the press may be made most potent for good or evil.-Ex.
