Appointiye Assessors

The NeWs-Star in its issue OF
August the 5th makes a plea for
the appointment, rather than
the election of tax assessors
which is, no doubt, very salts
factory to that journal, but if
the reasons advanced for this
exception to the time-honored
rule of letting the people elect
all of their officials are pressed
to their logical fnality, the mat
ter of electing any official would
disappear from our law books al
together, for the very same
argument applicable to and in
favor of the appointment of tax
assessors is of equal force when
applied to the appointment of
any other office, even the Gov
ernor himself might be best ap.
pointed if we could find some
means of clothing some individ-
ual or some group Of individuals
with the power to make such ap
pointment. The truth is that
there is no more danger of a
tax assessor Sinking his duty
and pandering to the good will
Of his constituents than there is
Of a sheriff doing the same
thing, and thus allowing GRIM
mails to escape. The judges of
our District Courts are just as
susceptible to improper and un-
holy influences as are the assess
ors; and therefore if it is dan
gerous to the best interests of
the state and it's political subdi-
visions to allow the people to e.
lect their tax assessors, it is al
so dangerous to the peace and
good order of the public to al.
low them to elect their judges.
The truth is that the people
make fewer mistakes (from the
standpoint of the general vel
farce in e|ecting their officers
than the Governor does in max.
ing the appointments. Itrarely
happens that the people elect a
dishonest or inefficient man tc
office, and when they do, it is
wholly due to a misplaced con.
fidence in the mans integrity
and fitness, but this is not true
with regard to appointments
made by the Executive, for he
usually makes the appointment
. with full knowledge of thu
character and fitness of the mar
J he appoints, and without taking
into consideration any thing ex
, cept the question of the appoir
} tees political pull. 1t was jus
this condition of things thai
l drove the people to an insisten
and irresistible demand tina
the appointive system be aband
oned and that the right to cleo
those who are to rule over then
be restored to the people.

tive system, why can he not b,

UN-ANIERICAN ACTION

The Intelligencer prints in another
column. at the request OF q citizen OF
this city. OF German descent. an edl.
torial that recently appeared in the
New York Times. IL is a very fair
review of the conduct OF those per
sons who enjoy the benefits and bless
ings OF a residence In this country.
but who have chosen to differentiate
themselves from other citizens whose
sympathies with the allies do not
agree with theirs. Reference is made
20 the meeting OF so-called German
American societies held in Washing
ton last Saturday evening. processing
the purpose ito re-establlsh genuine
American neutrality and to uphold II
free from commercial. financial and
political subservience to foreign pow
ere" which comes with very poor
grace from this source at this time.
This government has declared itself
70 be strictly neutral in this war. and
Il is a startling thing that these men
/, rs American citizens should do any
thing so un-American as 10 pass the
resolutions they did. which. IL con
formed TO. would have no other effect
than TO plunge the United States into
war with Great Britain. But this
class OF citizens took still more sur
prising step in pledging themselves,
individually and collectively, to sup
port only such candidates for Office
az are in sympathy with what they
sympathize with. This is an astound-
ing position TO take. The American
born citizenship has been very patient
with the propaganda OF the German
Americans. and have recognized their
right to discussion and appeal on the
merits OF the causes involved in the
war. but II Is asking little too much
OF them that they shall renounce their
rights to individual sympathy and
opinion I'm this matter.
However. there is large number
o. German-Americans. and American
citizens Of German descent. who do
not endorse or sympathize with the
extraordinary attitude taken by the
Washington meeting. The Intelligent
Ger would not think OF asking this
class OF citizens to smother their love
OF the Fatherland. This instinct is
ineradically planted In the breast OF
every human creature. and Il is one
Of the most commendable traits Of hui
mankind. But when men rpnounce
their political allegiance TO one nation
and take up the obligations OF citi-
zenship in another they should be
careful not 10 tarnish that obligation
with suggestions such as emanated
from the Washington meeting Of last
Saturday, tending TO make unneutral
our established neutrality.

Is HE OUT OF IT.

President Wilson took occasion day
before yesterday to impress upon the
newspaper correspondents who called

However. II vas done In a very adroit
way. He refuted the statement &C

eeived from that gentleman denying
the published interviews with him
that the President was a candidate.
IL may be that the President has
changed his mind for the presen'.
but his Indianapolis speech was gen
orally construed as looking TO or bid.

President has been recalling the re-
marks OF the Hon. Champ Clark. who

the nomination wouldn't be WORTH
having" Some OF the opposition 20
him may have been trickling in OF
late. which has decided him to make
the statement he did.
OF course the single-term plank In
the Baltimore platform Is now con.
sidered mere fub-dub in some quar-
tiers. but there are some Democratic
leaders who consider that the PresF
dent Is solemnly obligated to one
term by the platform provision. There
are enough Of them TO make it very
troublesome for Mr.. Wilson. and il Is
possible that the President has a re-
alizing sense OF this. Whether true
or not. an interesting story is told
about a letter Mr.. Wilson wrote to
Representative Palmer. of Pennsylva-
MIA, shortly after the election. suggest
ing that the one-term resolution be
side-tracked and not permitted to he
reported to the House. II is the dec.
laration OF a reputable Washington
correspondent that this letter is on file
with the House Judiciary Committee.
II the President has really and truly
reiinquished his ambition to be re.
nominated IL is pretty certain that the
determination is OF very recent origin.

THE VIRGINIA DEBT

Governor Hatfield. in his message
to the legislature yesterday relative
TO the Virginia debt. voices the belief.
the almost unanimous belief OF those
West Virginians informed on the sub
ject. when he says: Il believe that
when we are given the equity We are
entitled to receive we will owe no
part OF the Virginia debt. and. II any.
indeed. il will be infnitesimal a. COM
pared with the enormous figures made
by those who have been traficking IN
the debt stocks"
This is practically the position that
has been taken by The Intelligencer
and by former State Republican ad-
ministrations. II was the claim made
by the first Republican Governor elect
ed in twenty-five years. Governor At
kinson. who. in his frst message to
the Legislature. not only avowed his
belief that We did not owe Virginia
one cent. but that on a fair account
ing IL would be found thai Virginia
was indebted TO West Virginia. In
bis message. Governor Hatfield takes
strong exceptions to the report Of
Special Master Littleheld. claiming
that more credits are due than he al
lowed. and recommends that a new
commission be constituted 10 take
charge Of the matter.

APPLIED PSYCHOLOGY

President Wilson must have been in
a psychological state OF mind when.
referring TO the agricultural class Of
the country In his stul-quoted Indian
apolis speech. he said. The farmers
or the United States. those who raise
grain and those who raise cotton
these things that are absolutely neces-
sary 10 the world a. well as 10 our
selves-cannot get any profit out n
the great prices that they are willing
10 pay for these things on the other
eide Of the sea. because the whole
