If the report that Postmaster Gen eral Hitchcock 1b preparing to put all postmasters under the civil service rules be true, all who know that gen tleman's character and record will find In the determination a confes sion that the administration Bees and recognizes the fact of Impending Democratic success. On no other hypothesis can such a departure be understood. For the postmasterships are and have been the small coin for the payment of political debts. To put aside such an opportunity means nothing except that Hitchcock sees that the Republican party will soon be unable to use it further. There fore, the bold expedient of taking away this large slice of patronage be fore the change In administrations shall be wrought. As a logical proposition, civil ser vice In the po8t9lRces Department has much to commend It. It cannot doubted thit much of the unne^s-^ sary expense under whtah the^nail service is operated Is d#e to /he in competence among postmaster* and department employes selected with out c< nsldeffetlon for their fitness for the position^ they are appointed to. The handling of the mail Is a large order, end U ought to be conducted op business 'principles. It ought to be conducted t>V fit mtfn, specially qualified. So far as civil service would operate to put the administra tion of the mails Into hands of this son, It *ould be to the advantage of ?he country. But If the change Is to come, 51 ought to come only after a thorough reorganization. To turn the present Incompetent^ Into civil service employes by executive ukase wo'j Id ^e simply to burden the coun try with the perpetuation of a condi tion of which there is, under the ap pointive system, at least the hope of relief if the business of a great gov ernrnent department cotild be put In the hands of men to whom the test of rr.erit alone could be applied, there would be set an example of lasting wor'.j Thai Hitchcock contemplates any sv.i atep, however, is Inconceiv able. In the meantime, the great body of postmasters holding under Presiden tial appointment will take kindly to i!:e proposed relief from the appar ently inevitable; In the coming cam paign they will be further solidified In support of the administration, and even more active than formerly In politics; their Interest in serving faithfully the Washington dictator* ship will be wonderfully accentuated. Or Is the rumor of the change one of the first guns of the administration In the effort to hold the works against the threatened Roosevelt invasion??' W51 :>ington Star. AT STATE PRISON. While in Raleigh Tuesday it was our pleasure to be a party which spent a portion of the day with Sup erintendent J. J. l^aughinghouse at the State prison. It was gratifying to find everything about the prison in Buch splendid condition under his management. While evidence of Im provement was seen all about the in stitution. his Idea has also been to save the State all possible in the wa? of expense. Superintendent Laugh Inghouse. Clerk T. W. Fenner. and Warden T. P. Sale swohed the visit ors all through the prison? the ad ministration building, the prison quarters, cattle barns, pig stys and garden--and mark of carefuj. man agement and attention waa^een In all. The recently Installed death elect^gichalr for criminal* was I^aughlngbouse fhe conduct of the cen and State farms, and the Institution has never been under bet ter management. ?

TO TEST PURITY OF AIR. * Device Invented by Two University Students to Be Ueed In Buildings. Nr?o senior mechanical engineers in tbe University of Kansas at Law i rence, Kan., have perfected an In genious device determining the purity | of air In buildings. Tests can be made from time to time showing how many {Jmea tbe air In a room has been breatbM? The InstAiment bas heenf put to sev ersl practical rests, tbe last time being at tbe band concert in Robinson gym j nostum one nigbt recently. This was tbe most severe 'trial to which the , tester has been put. apd tbe res lilts I obtained were satisfactory throughout tbe experiment | Walter Bohnstengel and John D. Garver are tbe studenta who Invented the tester. Tbe device consists of a brass cylinder wltb an air tight, grad | nnted piston and a test tube fitted to tbe cylinder by means of a valve. Tbe I capacity of tbe cylinder is 100 cubic j centimeters of air. THE PANSY BED. It Should Be Shaded From the Noon day Sun? Rich Soil Needed. Tbe essential condition^ for success wltb tbe pansy are n cool, half shaded pUce and a rich, friable soil. The pansy Is a <-ool loving plant and does best where shuded from tbe noonday KUU. If tbe seed pods are kept cut away tbe plants may Ik? carried through tho summer and a pood crop of flowers se cured again l:i tbe fall. To secure early flowers the seed should be u in n cold frame or window box lu November, or they may be slnrted iu September and transplanted to tbe perraauent bed in time to reroot before winter. At tbe approach of whiter the bed should be mulched wltb straw or pine needles to protect tbe plants from heaving and thawing. The pansy has been greatly improv ed iu recenr years, and some of tbe present market strains are very fine. ATTRACTIVE LILY BEDS. Flowers Planted In Skidy Place Need Little Attention.
