POSTMAS TER AND POLITICS.
fSio1x CHty Journal

Whether or not the administration
Is entitled to unqualified commenda-
ton for taking all the postmasters out
OF politics depends upon the spirit in
which the new civil service order is
applied. II the preliminary announce
ment is borne out. and all future ap-
pointments of first, second and third
class postInasters are made strictly on
the merit basis after competitive ex-
aminations. a great gain will have
been made for economy and effi
cheney. If on the other hand, the merit
system shall be SO juggled as to retain
in office Indefinitely all or most Of the
recent political appointees, the e1recl
of the change as a reform in the In
terest Of economy will have to be
heavily discounted. An answer to the
question can not be given Immediately
1t is announced that recent appointees
will be allowed to serve out their four
year terms. That Is fair. There car
be no legitimate objection to such ar
arrangement. Present postmasters we
are told, "Will then, 1t is understood
! have to undergo the competitive test.
A little favoritlsm in reappointments
during the next four years would con-
firm most OF the present democratic
postmasters in office for life. Whether
! this is to be looked FOR or not probably
depends upon whether President VII:
son or Postmaster General Burlesor
dictates the course to be pursued
| There are Indications that President
Wilson is back of the new civil service
order and that he really intends tf
make a positive score for economy anc
efficiency, regardless OF the squirmingi
of the politicians.
II there is to be good faith effor
to take and keep the postoffices out o.
politics the republicans will have nc
reasonable ground for complaint. ovei
such incidental and temporary pollti-
cal injustice as may be caused. II sucf
a change ever is to be made one part,

IOWA OPINION AND NOTES.

The Hampton Chronicle says when
this excitement is all over it will be
plain to a whole lot Of unthink!ng
people that Wilson is playing the poll
teal game to a finish, and he tried to
take advantage of the patriotism OF
the members Of congress to get him
self crowned as monarch or these
United States, with gag law thrown
in for good measu which would not
allow two citizens of this country to
stand on the streets in their home
town and criticize any action he may
take IL war was called. Senator Cum
MINIS had it right. Wilson was trying
TO get declaration OF war in dis
guise thru congress"
The general censure OF the senators
who opposed the armed ship bill re-
sembles nothing SO much as the ac-
tons Of flock Of sheep" declares the
Mount Vernon Record. THE truth
is that not one man in thousand, and
probably not one man in larger
number knew what 1t was all about"
However, II strike should come
now, it would be impossible to hold
the brotherhoods wholly responsible
for It. Congress left the door to trou-
BILE open when It adjourned without
meeting the overwhelming popular de-
mand for legislation that would render
r. strike Illegal as we'll az unjustifi- :
able" argues the Sioux City Journal.
Congress could not eyade & large
measure of responsibility for the con-
sequences Of It's failure to complete

New England Spirit.

New England, often branded as
"effete.p and more frequently called
"reactionary." is now offering the
country two striking examples of well
advanced progressivism. Gov. Mccall
of Massachusetts has presented a
legislative program embodying a so
cial insurance plan beyond anything
yet considered by any other State,
and Gov. Graham of Vermont has pro-
posed Judiciary and executive reforms
that fairly strike his hearers dumb.
This in New England which despite
it's leadership in social justice, is
noted for conservatism, and. of all
places, in Vermont, one of the two
states that clung to ancient Repub-
lioanism in 1912
Gov. McCalls program is imme-
diately linked with the Senatorial
campaign OF 1917. BY his friends it
is counted a useful asset, and as
natural as ii is useful by his enemies,
the reactionary group. 1t Is promptly
branded as a political move and an
orgy OF radicalisIn. ~,
Much OF the comment from Yer.
mont looks askance at Gov. Graham's
move to abolish the Superior Court
and increase the duties of the gu.

preme Court, with a reorganization of
the Municipal Court system. The
Vermont Bar Association is directly
opposed to the idea. A second bold
stroke is Mr.. Graham's call for a
greater Capitalization of authority in
the hands of q State Board of Con-
troll, whose responsibilities would in
clude the drawing of the State budget
The board would also pass upon the
governors appointments 1t would
be, in effect, sort of deified gov
ernor's council 1t goes far ahead of
the ordinary short ballot proposals of
ordinary reformers. Vermont will be
suspicious OF the proposal until Il
is more fully explained
SO here are two New England
States quietly leading the country in
two vital reforms, There will be
more to say when the new subjects
are brought into contact with the
grim machinery OF lawJnaking. in
the meantime, these signs of life are
to be welcomed, Massachusetts, at
least, is ready to follow 6 new road
In the direction OF surer justice and
efiiciency.-Boston Journal.

than $4,000 men In the Elan
ders battle alone since July I.
The figures were complied
today when the assembling OF
data obtained from prisoners
was completed.
Prisoners said 81 German d.
visions approximately $4,000 mem
had been engaged In the Flanders
sector since the first OF last
month Thirty of these 100000
mem have been Withdrawn on ac-

Tho German high commands

vision for reorganization after It's
losses have taken from 1000 10
$500 men.
Taking this as n basis. II can be
assumed that Il Germany has with
drawn 30 divisions. her losses must
be anywhere from 10000 to 10000.
A conservative estimate would put
them above 10000
Seven German divisions. which
were on the Flanders front on July
/. are still there.
These estimates OF losses do not
take into account the huge casual
ties which the enemy has sustained
OF late around Verdun and the
