PATRONAGE DIFFICULTIES.

The Harding administration is bound to have some
friction in selecting appointees TO fill the vacancies
that occur in the federal service; but il it abandons
the ideals the country understood it set up in the be-
ginning and descends to the ordinary level of pure
ly maching politics in distributing rewards, there will
be disappointment, loss of prestige and forfeiture Of
respect of the best element of the party.
A tense situation is created in Missouri in the de-
cision of the administration to appoint c. c. Madison
district attorney for the western district, with the
entire congressional delegation, the United States
senator. the state organization and leading Repub-
licans throughout the state bitterly opposed. Favor
able to. the appointment are a discredited national
committeeman and an equally discredited political
and ~grafters on public works.
For the good Of the Republican party the admin
istration cannot afford to make the Madison appoint
ment, leaving out of the question the moral phase of
the situation entirely.

TRUE TO THEIR MOTHER

Regardless of your view Of the marital troubles of
the StilImnns, you are compelled to admire the atti-
tude OF the elder children-Ann the daughter and
James the son. The 19-yearold daughter is unre-
servedly a partisan for her mother and is to be a star
witness in her behalf in dtsproving what is regarded
as manufactured testimony on behalf Of the father.
But the I7-year-old son James. the third, speaks
as a true descendant Of the grandfather, the founder
of the Stillman fortune and one Of Americas great
est bankers and most honorable citizens This young
ster is a true sportsman when he looks his parent in
the eye and tells him: "Il tell you this Dad, Guy
is my brother. He has always been and always will
be. / want you to know that no matter what hap
pens, he can always have half Of everything I've got
in the world"
And when the elder Stillman denied the charge of
unfaithfulness to the boys mother, the boy did not
he wss.
The loyalty Of these children is worth all that Fiji
Stllman is compelled to bear from the unprincipled
good name.
