the amazing Republican triumph In

w. D. Hines, directors general
of the railroads, is out in a state
ment that the laws should be
changed tornake it possible for
three county commissioners to
select all other county commits
sions, claiming greater efficiency
would result in county admins
tration. There is no doubt the
theory is sound, but under our
form of partisan politics which
has become a fixed habit, ap-
pointments would be made to
pay political debts without re-
gard to fitness or~ability. That
this conclusion is correct it is on
ly necessary to consider appoint
ments that are permitted to he
made by the President on down
the line to the lowest appointing
power. There are more misfits
in appointive officials in the
country today than in elective
jobs, which would indicate that
the people exercise better judg-
ment in choosing public servants
than the appointive powers. If
we were not so partisan in our
politics, and alleged political
leaders were not so insistent on
getting some appointive job as
recognition of their supposed in
fuence, the plan of selecting all
minor positions in nation, state
and county would undoubtedly
tend to greater efficiency and
economy. The President chooses
his own cabinet with approval
by the senate, and in most in
stances the men are we'll fitted
to add strength to the admins
tration. The cabinet heads in
their larger field are the same as
the several state officers and the
county officers. The governor
should name all state officers
with approval by the senate; and
then in counties there should be
a county director elected, who
should appoint the county officers
