am glad, too, that your paper. which. as

and doubtless would have been glad had the
decision of the highest court been different
in conSonance with the nag that daily loats
at the masthead of The Times Dispatch, calls
upon the people to give reverential sanction
10 the voice OF our supreme tribunal of JUS

of chagrin and covert REBEL lion that charac-
terizcs Il few OF the country's newspapers.

c!ally II that Will has been manifesto ed by

a Permanent Undcr.sccrctary

THE retirement OF Frank L. Polk as
L Under-Secretary of State, coupled with
the advent of an entirely new head of the
State Department, emphasizes reform
which should be made in the organization of
this exceedingly important branch OF the
Federal government. The Under-Secretary
OF State should be permanent official, and
removed from politics. The place should
be filled by the most effective man avail
able and he should not be removable except
for extreme causes.
In no other Foreign Office in the world,
perhaps is the entire executive staff sub
ject 10 political appointment. In no other
do all the under secretaries or assistant sec
retaries retire with the head of tho depart
ment. The first assistant or understanding
should be permanent, even If for admins
tlative reasons the other assistants are to
be of a political character.
With Mr.. Colby going in as Secretary Of
State and Mr.. Polk going out as under
secretary, nobody remains at the head OF
the organization who has frst-hand knowl-
edge of many of the vital problems which
must be dealt with by the new regime. Both
the secretary and his first assistant must
acqnant themselves by laborious study
with all the vast and intricate duties OF
their respective Offices.
1t is true that the present Second AS
sistant Secretary OF State. Mr.. Adee has
been in the department for more than n
generation and his services have become
indispensable, hut he is not at the head OF
the list of assistants. and the rule that has
kept him.. in the department under sue
cessivc administrations is exactly the same
! rule which should make the under-secre-
taryship permanent position.
AS a matter OF fact each of the great
executive departments OF the government
might have one permanent assistant who
would become the mentor Of new heads of
their departments and who might easily
| run the department If for any reason yacan-
cies should occur. For the moment how
| ever the State Department situation is tho
most acute because of the double change
