pleasures of his garden. Nobody can
marvel at that. When man gets into
a place where he cannot act with
freedom according to his best judg-
ment, he generally wishes he were
some place else, unless he can cut
the bonds that make him an intellec-
tual prisoner.
The trouble is that too many person
al considerations are being thrust in
to the administration of public affairs
1t is not necessary to deny all merit
to those considerations to condemn
the situation that has resulted. Every
state institution should have an ac-
credited and responsible head; other
wise it cannot perform the function
for which it was established. The first
duty of the board of administration is
to the wards of the state and the peo-
pie at large, whose charity they are
dispensing. This duty it is now neg
lecting while the planning to land GER
tain parties in desired places goes on.
If the board cannot administer, it's
members ought not to wait to be
fired; they should all resign.

That there is growing resentment
among Germans of the United States
at statements that they were un-
American and opposed to President
Wilson, is being made evident as the
effort grows to have them play into
the hands of the anti-Wilson political
leaders. The Germans are great ad-
mirers of Maximilian Harden, world
famous German editor This concern
ing him is significant:
Berlin, May 9--After figuratively
taking the publics breath away two
weeks ago by daring article headed
If | We're Wilson, Maximilian Har-
den on Saturday returns to an ex-
haustive defense of President Wilson,
his policy and the entire American
standpoint. In a leader in The Zu-
kunft entitled The Real Wilson, Herr
Harden praises President Wilson as a
man of high moral and high spiritual
character of whom we might be proud
il he were ours. What the writer
characterizes as lazy ignorance is
represented as chatter from the man
tie of uld-be-patriotism. which i'm
reality has nothing in common with
genuine patriotism when President
Wilson is assailed as he frequently
has been.
Ninety-nine One-hundredtbs of
all the so-called war literature, Herr
Harden continues, should be sent
where it belongs-to the paper mills
and the public should return to
books from which a wide-awake spir-
1t speaks, including President Will
sons The New Freedom Then per,
haps pure common sense will return
to you and awaken you to the duty
of respecting the dignity of foreign
peoples Herr Harden follows with
a brief character sketch of President
Wilson, in which he calls the presi
dent brave opponent of evil and
abuses and alludes to him as actuated
by love for his people and possess
ed of the will to lead them to the
heights of his ideals after they had
gotten into the swampland Ger

1t was thought that the limit had
been reached when in TWO instances
connected with the work of the Ohio
board of administration the political
strength of Governor Willis was suf
iicient to have regular civil service
examinations annulled, in order that
his faVorites who had failed to pass
might be given another chance. But
his political mind is grasping and his
reach is long. Now as a result OF that
reach the state board of health is
working without a secretary, and the
board of administration Is running
the blind asylum without a superin-
tendent Both boards are in charge
of men appointed by the governor, but
his interference with their daily work
has caused deadlock. The spec.
tacle of department heads running
daily to the governors Office for in
struction as to selections in the state
service is new one in Ohio and, as
in all other matters under the Willis
administration, the state is suffering.
