LEGISLATION IS COMPROMISE

All important legislation is the pro-
duct of compromise
AT our own national capitol congress
men representing various sectional in
terests and prejudices gather to work out
and adopt laws which apply uniformly to
all sections.
1t usually is impossible to adopt a
piece of legislation which is uniformly adj
vantageous and acceptable to the repre-
sentatiVes of all the groups and localities
concerned.
No legislation would be possible, no
session of congress would be any less a
flop than the London economic confer
ence, were it not for the fact American
citizens have arrived at that state of men
tai progress where they are willing that
their representatives yield some conces-
sions in favor of other sections
Until the peoples of the world have
arrived at that same advanced stage of
civilization and a recognition of the COM
mon good of mankind no international
conference can accomplish very much to-
ward the adoption of international rules,
or laws, governing the economics of the
world.
Furthermore if the time ever comes
when an international code can be adopted
and approved by the people back home in
each of the several countries there will be
the problem of setting up a disinterested
and impartial agency of enforcement. The
creation of such an agency will require still
further compromise

CONFEDERATE CABINET

While the Confederate government
under President Jefferson Davis was in ex-
istence only a little more than four years,
only one cabinet officer-Stephen r. Nal
Tory, secretary of the navy---served
throughout the whole period.
During the same time there were three
secretaries of state, Toombs, Hunter and
BENJAMIN; three secretaries of the treasury,
Memminger, Trenholm and Reagin: six sec
retarics of war, Walker, BENJAMIN, RAN
dolph, Smith, Seldom and Breckenridge !:
two postmasters-general. Ellet and Geagan,
and four encouragement, Benjamin,
Bragg, Watts and Davis.
Judah p Benjamin of Louisiana went
into the cabinet i'm 1861 as attorney gem
efal. was secretary of war for short time
in 1862, and was made secretary of state
later in the same year. serving as such to
the end, John Fl. Reagan of Texas served
rs postmaster-general from 1861 until
1865. when he became the Confederacy's
last secretary of the treasury.
President Davis, who had been secre-
tary of war Of the United States from 1853
to 1857, appears 10 have had difficulties
with his own secretaries of war. as noted
above, he had six.

THE PIE COUNTER

There has been murmuring for some
time on the part of Democratic Senators,
Congressman and office-seekers about the
slowness of President Roosevelt in re-
placing Republican office-holders with
Democrats
But the President evidently believes
that getting his recovery program under
way is of more Importance than giving his
time to distributing political pie. And
there will not be as much pie, it seems, as
his campaign supporters expect
Now, on top of this delay, the Presi-
dent has stirred up hornets nest by sug-
costing that all postmasters should be
placed under Civil Service rules, instead of
being appointed upon the recommends
ton of Senators and Congressman.
Presidential postmasters have for
some years gone through the formality of
4 Civil Service examination before ap-
pointment, but everybody knows that this
has been a farce, as almost invariably a
member of the party in power has been
appointed.
OF course, there is nothing gained by
displacing capable official for political
reasons, SO far as the public is concerned.
But, politics being politics, it is unlikely
that any marked change in the old system
will be made for good while to come.
