ROTATION IN OFFICE.
From no cause has the public serv
ice suffered more from the fallacious
idea that after a while officials should
be, retired in order that some, other
good, party-men may have a chance.
That this ;doctrlne ;is unsound In
prinoipleand unwise -In policy is evi
dent1 from the fundamental structure
and legislative history- ot our State
government, as well as ? from a
comparison with the. conduct of men in
the other' important affairs of life. If
there were" any wisdom or public ben
efit in such a policy, it. should and
would -be written into our constitu
tion and bill, of rights or our statute
law, and not left to the prejudice and
ambition of . individuals or groups of
individuals. ": And yet neither the
founders of our State, who were deep
students 'of the science of govern
ment, nor the many wise statesmen
who have followed them, have, under
taken to formulate this doctrine Into
jaw With one single exception. It Is
provided in the constitution that the
Governor shall not be elected to suc
ceed himself, and this exception prob
ably due to the" hostility against the
chief executive in colonial days rather
than, to any necessity under our pres
ent system. But even if such a re
striction should be considered wise
in the case of the Governor, who on
account of the great dignity and pub
lic influence of his office, is supposed
to control in a measure the political
destinies of the State, there is no rea
son for, its extension to other officials-
The sup'ree consideration Is the
public service. : Officers are created
to give the public efficient service, and
not. 'tn nrnvidft emDloyment for in
dividual citizens. So long as an offi
cial is performing the duties of his
office -faithfully and efficiently, the
purpose for which the office was
created is fulfilled and the public is
content. To remove- him for the solo
purpose of giving others an oppor
tunity to get employment is a posi
tive injury to the public service.
Elections are frequent for the pur
pose of improving the public servico
and not . for injuring it. Terms of
office are reasonably short so thai
inefficient and objectionable men may
be removed and better and more effi
cient men put in their places, and nor
for the purpose of re-apportioning the
emoluments of office. No private am
bition should be allowed to stand in
the way of the public good. This does
not mean that men shall not aspire to
offices already filled, but it does mean
that when a man seeks an office it
should be on the ground of ability to
serye the public, and not because his
opponent has had the office long
enough.
Other things being equal, a long
term of service enables the official to
render superior service, and should be
counted to his credit instead of hig
.discredit. To vEhow that this is true
and that the dismissal of a public ser
vant on account of the length of his
service is both unwise and unjust,
consider for a moment how men are
governed in other important matters.
In all private business, experience
and fidelity, to duty mean efficiency
and continuous employment. Suppose
the doctrine of rotation in office were
generally applied. The presidents of
colleges, the heads of great business
enterprises, and the presidents of
banks and railroads would be remov
ed every now and then for the sole
reason that, they had held their posi
tions long enough and should be dis
missed to give others a chance. Effi
ciency would be subordinated to am
bition, and progress would give placa
to business chaos. .
If we turn to our official represen
tation in the United States Congres3,
we find that experience and long
continuance in office - have been
counted as valuable assets, and have
not been without decided influence iu
giving this State the splendid posi
tion it now occupies in the councils-of
the nation. What patriotic citizens
and students of government are striv
ing for above all things is efficiency
in the public service. What we need
is to get the public business attended
to like private business is. This can
never be done so long as official ex
perience and length of service are
considered a disqualification for re
election to public office. People
should not be misled, by the cry for
rotation in office, or think that a
mere change in officials means im
provement of the public service.

A YOUTHFUL CHAMPION IN
THE CAUSE OF TEMPERANCE.
(By Philip Evans.)
- This is a cause that is moving on
ward in a way that has created more
alarm among its enemies than they
have ever . before experienced. They
may well be apprehensive and fearful,
for the ' sentiment against the saloon
was never go strong as it Is at the
present time, and the , prohibition ter
ritory is steadily increasing. There is
now on his way to the Pacific Coast,
on foot and alone, a boy of eighteen
years who is surely a strong cham
pion of the temperance cause. His
name is Lawrence Park McGahan. and
on the sixteenth day of- April heset
forth from the National Prohibition
Headquarters in Chicago to walk ten
thousand miles in the cause of pro
hibition. While en route he will try
to get five million persons to sign a
pledge declaring that they will, not
support at the next Presidential elec
tion any party or candidates not In
favor of prohibition. Young McGahan
will' be fourteen months on the road,
and his trip will come to an end in
Julyof next year at the National Pro
hibition, where he will surely' be
something of a hero. While on the
road young McGahan will wearla
khaki suit, and his baggage will con
sist of a pack on his back weighing
twenty-two pounds. It will contain
a sleeping bag, in which he will sleen
out of doors during the entire trip. It
goes without . saying that he will se
a great deal of his native land - in
his attempt to do something' to help
free that land from Its worst evil. .

NEW WAY TO SECURE POTASH.
Young Chemist Discovers a Process
of Extracting It From Feldspar.
(From The New York Sun)
A young chemist, a Yale graduate. J
working near the Custom House, yes
terday showed Dr.- Thomas H. Nor
ton, the Department of Commerce's
commercial agent, a new process for
extracting potash from feldspar. Doc
tor Norton is here to help solve the
problems of a year shortage in dye
stuffs and other substances, and
potash is one of them. He was so
much Improved with the young in
ventor's feldspar process that he said
last night:
"I have examined the chemial fac
tors of this process and am convinced
that it isreliable and of value. Tests
have been successfully made -with
several hundred tons of feldspar.
"The inventor himself believes that
the efforts to build up a potash in
dustry based on kelp ought to be
continued without letup, for kelp af
fords us a very much greater source
of supply than feldspar. But I con
sider this new process Important in
several ways. -
In the first place it promises an
economical way. of liberating alumK
num and silica from feldspar. Alumni-num,-
silica and potash are closely
united in the feldspar of the Al
leghany Mountains and acids do not
liberate them. We have to use an
alkaline process before-we can split
them with acids. Now the release of
this aluminum quickly and cheaply
Is of great importance to the alumi
num industry in the United States,
which uses 300 tons of pure alumi
num daily.
"Secondly,, the new process of get
ting potash from feldspar is more
direct than extracting it from kelp.
This young man's method will give us
potassium carbonate almost directly
from the rock, and potassium . car
bonate is the great desideratum. Hav
ing that, we can immediately get any
kind of potash salts, including nitrate.
To get potassium carbonate from the
kelp we have, to use rather a round
about method.
'Germany has the one great nat
ural monopoly of potash. We have
been taking half her output. Now
we cannot get it. The American far
mer has never learned to use enough
potash as a fertilizer. The Germanu
get 38 bushels of wheat per acre to
our 15 by being liberal with potash.
We are letting kelp containing $150,
000,000 worth of fertilizer go to waste
on the Pacific Coast each year." ,
