They Wanl Office.
Wo have It on the authority o!
Washington correspondents that there
are over 15J)00 people who expect to
get jobs tinder the Taft adminlstra
tion, and this number does not in
elude those who are expecting re
appointment. v
The love of pap is fixed and In
grained In man. hike hope, it springs
eternal in the human breast—espe
clally the American breast. Securing
an appointment to public office is so
much like getting something for noth
lug that office-holding is a sentiment
that appeals strongly to a very large
class of the American people. Mu I
office-holding is a had mark for a
young man to look forward to. in this
country appointment to political offirt
is not always indicative of iiersonal
merit or worth. Besides, it is a (reach
erous and uncertain occupation, and
Us tenure is in the tickle and change
able temperament of those who be
stow It or of the voters themselves
On every hand may be cited shining
examples of the folly of men starting
life in the pursuit of office. Some
of them are pitiful in the common
taries they carry, and few- of them
are profitable on lines of results and
experience. Still, there are some ex-
amples of life successes iii other lines
of endeavor, where office-holding fur-
nished the first stepping stone so nec-
essary for the start.
Of course, we must have office hold-
ers. Somebody has to stand to meet
every form of need and men for office
Is an unavoidable demand; but the
beat motto for each to adopt Is: "Let
the other fellow meet it." Still, men
—capable men are not to be seriously
blamed for seeking public office
Surely they are cosy and comfortable
affairs, and it is not always unpleasant
to sail through life ensconced in a
berth that protects its occupant from
the cruel buffeting* of the stern bat
ties of life
We have known of men like the late
Senator A. P. Gorman of Maryland
who started out in search of office in
knickerbockers and ended an uti
broken career of political success.
Such experiences, however, are rare,
as compared with those who have
been ruinedeknd wrecked In the con-
test for political supremacy, or even
for political existence. There are loo
many chances in this age and country
of opportunity for a young man of
ability to yield to the allurements of
public office-holding.
Death of Cervera.
The death of Admiral Cervera Is
mourned by the navy men of all na-
tions, as the passing away of a brave
and chivalrous sea fighter, His death
recalls vividly to mind that gallant
dash he made from the harbor of
Santiago on July 4, 1896. There was
not one chance in a hundred for him
to win his fight, yet he drew up hts
little fleet in battle formation and
steamed gallantly forth to give battle
to the bulldogs of the American navy.
Cervera’s only chance lay in his hope
to, by concentrating his fire on the
nearest American ship, cripple It
and get away by outrunning the
enemy. It was a brave effort, but
failed. Peace to hts honored ashes,
and may bis chivalrous soul find a
restful harbor on the coast of eternity.
A Special Privilege Tax.
The tariff debate bos unquestion-
ably developed a strong sentiment* in
favor of giving special protection to
the petroleum Interest*. The schedule
prujsised has been figured out by cus-
toms < xports as Imiiosing a duty of
19.2 cents per gallon on any illuminat-
ing oil offered from Russia. This is a
tax of‘considerably over 100 per cent
The Philadelphia T lines, com meriting
on this duty says: 1
"Meanwhile the Standard Oil com-
pany is selling oil In Germany and
England 2 and ,1 cent* lower than in
the United States. Its annual percen-
tage dividends for a series of years
have tree!!! 1902. 45; 1902, 14:
it; 1905, 4n; 1003, 4ft; 1907. 40.
"In this country, according to the
•human of corporations' report, the
company sells about 1,500,000,000 gal-
lons of oil a year. The 2 cent* per
gallon which, at the lowest calcula-
tion. it get* in the United States in
excess Of the foreign price figures out
*30.000,000. That 1* the tariff profit
of the Standard Oil on one necessary
of life, it represents, however, only
profits on illuminating oil. It doesn't
include any Of the by-products of pe-
troleum.
"If the countervailing duty were re-
moved, petroleum product* in this
country would have to come down to
the world price basis. They would
do so because of the competition of
the Russian oil syndicate. That syn-
dicate operates great tank steamers,
which sail the Mediterranean and car-
ry its products up to Britain, Germany
and other Atlantic ports of Europe.
They would come to the United
State* and bring the assurance of
cheaper oil to this country, but for
the fact that the tariff imposes a pro-
tective duty.
"That protective duty figures out at
19.2 cents per gallon on Illuminating
oil. It seems rather ridiculous, under
the circumstance*, but those are the
treasury's customs division figures.
Does the Standard Oil need protec-
tion? Not in any market on earth. It
sail* its steamers nil over the world
atul competes with Russia everywhere
— but in the United States it has a
protection of about 150 per cent, under
cover of which it charges prices about
20 per cent higher In New York than
It does In London.
“The charge has been widely-
printed that this duty was put back
because powerful Interests, which
were able to- deliver some support to
Speaker Cannon In the fight for the
house organisation, Insisted that It be
done This charge is one which ought
to have attention. It ought to be de-
nied If it is untrue. Thus far, no-
body has deemed it of enough itn-
portance to Justify denial, ami It Is In
a fair way to (ret genera! acceptance
unless the denial is forthcoming soon.
"President Ta^t has declared that
this duty must come off and doubt-
less, under bis Insistence, It will. It
certainly ought."
This Is only one of the thieving In-
consistencies of ’he proposed tariff re-
form, and il is nn indication of
aroused justice to see such hidebound
Republican protection' papers >irs the
Philadelphia Times taking up the
fight for the American consumer. We
nil know that the tariff question Is at
best a local issue, and that there Is
no more reason w hy the people should
lie faxed for Mr. Rockefeller's oil than
they should bo required to pay a
special tax to the few men who raise
cattle, and have hides for sale. THE
TIMES makes no discrimination be
tween Mr. Rockefeller and the Texas
cattle raiser.

In vain did she lift, for she couldn’t make shift

Young Murchison leaned o'er the earnest with a

And said, in a tone that might come from a

He gripped the refractory window in a grip that
was manly and strong;
He tugged and he fought, then he said that he
thought that possibly something was

DISASTER OVERTAKES SCHOONER
Tidings of Sea Tragedy Brought to
Boston by Steamer Dominion—Top-

Boston, April 4 Tidings of disas-
ter to an unknown schooner at sea
were brought to port today with the
arrival of the Dominion Coal com-
pany’s steamer Dominion, Captain
Northcutt, from Louishurg, C. B. About
200 miles to the eastward of the Bos-
ton light late in the afternoon the
steamer passed the lower mast and top-
mast of a iarge vessel. The spars
were sticking out Mf the water and
apparently wi re attached to a sunken
hull.

New York, April 4.—The report ol
the special committee appointed by
the National Civic Reform league to
investigate the political activity on
the part of officeholders, was made
public today
Charges Are Sustained.
The conclusions of the committee,
briefly stated, an- that the charge*
nude by certain newspapers to a great
sklent are sustained. A notable ex
eplion Is reported in the allegations
hat Mr. Roosevelt coerced certain fed-
•ral office-holders into the support of
Talt for the Republican nomination.
The committee finds that evidence to
mataln the charges made is wholly
lacking On the contrary, Roosevelt
is credited with advancing civil serv-
ice reform by so amending the civil
service rules ns to prohibit employes
in the competitive service from taking
part In political campaigns.
Much Pernicious Activity,
f)n the broad question of the perni-
cious activity of office-holders itr
politics, however, the committee finds
that a most undesirable situation
exlstp. Of the more than 100,090
general office-holders, one-third are not
amenable to civil service classifica-
tion. These often exercise a powerful
influence in polities, and constitute,
in the opinion of the committee, a
menace to free institutions.
Would Extend Civil Service.
The remedy is to be found, the com-
mittee believes, in extending the
classified competitive service and a
learer definition of the executive order
governing political activity in the un-
classified service.
Census Bill Up Today.
Washington. D. C„ April 4.-~The
senate committee on census will give
a hearing tomorrow on the house cen-
sus bill, and President Black of the
civil service commission will contend
that the employes under the measure
should be chosen wholly by civil serv-
ice examination.
This position will be combatted by
Director North of. the census bureau,
on the ground that there are certain
classes of employes who must be se-
lected by their proved adaptability for
the work
Objectionable Features Eliminated.
The census bill as passed by the
house eliminates certain of the ob-
jectionable teaiures which caused Mr.
Roosevelt to veto the old bill, and it
Is not thought it wilt tie opposed on
the floor.
