The Office and tke Man.
It would seem that as a people we have not
yet succeeded In readjusting ournelves to the
new conditions presented by our changed elec
tion methods. We used to have a political
aphorlom, "Let the office seek the man," which,
ahl! notable chiefly for the exceptions, still oc
casionally proved true. The more modern "sys
tem of direct nomination and election, how
ever, has brought It about that the man murt
Invariably seek the office.
All our primary laws are built on the theory
that one qualification for public service la a
strong desire to draw a public salary, and the
Initiative devolves upon the candidate to offer
himself by filing a formal application to have his
name printed on the ballot. An alternative
method. It Is true, is provided by which a name
may be filed by petition or endorsement, but, as
everyone knowa, that Is merely a subterfuge be
cause the petition repreeenta, sot a spontaneous
popular demand, but an artlflrrty concocted
cover, usually inspired by the candidate himself.
Nowadays no one is eligible for public place
but the office-seeker the man who wants tha
Job because It is better than the one he has or
looka like a atepplng-stone to something still
higher. We are not depreciating the candidates
thus made availableperhaps they are as good
aa could be secured In any other way and yet
the people should have a chance to pick their
own servants, to draft them If need be, instead
of having them elf-propelled Into the race. To
us It seems that this Is the weak spot to whlcn
remedial measures should be directed, and that,
some way must be found again whereby at least
In emergencies the office c,n seek the man In
stead of the man seeking tiaeoffice.
Holding Them in Line. ,
Speaker Jackson of the house at Lincoln
presents a picture that ought to Inspire another
"Jim Bludsoe" poem. The reckless engineer of
the Prairie Belle, "who held her nozzle ag"ln the
bank till the last galoot's ashore," was no more
a heroic figure than Is our speaker. In his self
appointed task of keeping the legislature at
work. How does he do It? Simplicity. He
has the pay checks In his desk, and will not give
them out till the last day in the afternoon.
It also exemplifies the democratic idea of
discipline. The members of the legislature ought
to be credited with having sufficient sense of
moral responsibility to hold them to their taak
until the work is done. This doesn't seem io
appeal to the speaker, who seems to understand
the childlike nature of the unterrifled, In whose
plan of action moral responsibility doesn't cut a
very extensive figure. Knowing his men, as he
apparently does, he prefers to treat them a
school boye who are Itching to play hookey.
Maybe he'a right.'
Big Job Ahead for Humanity.
An even bigger job awaits humanity in the
wake of the war in Europe than was-expected. It
was humanly Impossible to foresee exactly what
would result in way of destitution and destruc
tion, but the blackest picture that waa painted in
advance of tb,e fact is now being outdone. The
work or feeding the destitute In Europe Increases
with each day, as the store of food in the devai-
tated regions slowly disappears, while the dread
of an epidemic of deadly' disease grows with the
Imminence of spring weather. "The horror of
of the war is even greater in realization than it
was In anticipation.
The United States is the one source of relief
on which the Innocent sufferers can rely: from
here must be supplied the food and raiment, tho
medicines and nursing, that are needed for the
salvation of those who can not otherwise help
themselves. The task Is ours, and we must not
waver in the work; It Is a duty of which we
ahouM be proud.
When the history of this war is written, its
one bright page will' be that which shows the
American citizens bringing succor and comfort
to the helpless women and children, and to the
wounded and disabled, while the other great
powers of the world are bending their utmost
energlea to the work of destruction. It is a
most magnificent illustration of our national
ideal.
A Mighty Lame Excuie. .
We are disinclined to chide Charles Otto Lo
be ck, who Is very much of a local Institution, but
hla apology for the failure of the democrats in
congress to pass the child labor bill, so earnestly
desired by the country, is too thin. He tells the
truth when he says the bill died in the senate,
but not the whole truth.
. The bill, which passed the house by an over
whelming majority, failed in the senate because
that body wasted its time on a caucus measure,
designed to relieve the eottoa growers of the
south. When the child labor bill had a rhanc
to come up, and its only chance, It was stopped
by the objection of Senator Overman of North
Carolina, representing a cotton-growing and
eottoa manufacturing constituency.
' The democrats should not be allowed to
evade their responsibility for the failure of thU
r umanltarlan nieaaure to become law. It was
killed by the combination of democratic caucus
rule and the objection of a democratic senator.

A Kirk nn the Patent llfllre.
NORTH IX)t"P. Neb., March 2.-To the
Editor of The Hee: Is lustlce bring per
verted In the patent office? Have you
ever been reminded that valuable patents
msy be secretly disclosed by employes
in certain government departments and
there Is no way to find th disclosure ex
cept by accident? If you have a valuable
Invention and make application for pat
ent, the secretary of the Interior has ac
cess to the patent office records and he Is
made by law the arbiter of your applica
tion on appeal.
The public press has been filled very
recently with respect to the discovery of
a process for Increasing the smount of
gasoline obtained from petroleum. ' It has
been announced, too, that the secretary
of the Interior Is personally Interested In
the establishment of a refining plant by
which to make gasoline by the new
process.
From the fart that an application for
patent on a process) by which to make
gasoline has been a matter of record In
the patent office, does not the recent an
nouncements have the appearance of
scandal m th government departments?
Ruppoa an official who knew of the ap
plication would disclose the mstter, how
easily could a patent be denied the real
Inventor and bring th discovery forward
by announcing that Mr. fo-and-So has
discovered something, and he Is a banc
factor of the civilised world, and that
patents woald b taken out to protect
th public. How does Mr. Ho-and-Ro know
that he has discovered anything until he
ha a patent right? Som other Mr. Bo-and-Ho
may ba In th patent office ahead
of him and his discovery is a myth and
a has-been. It look like a very near
scandal that bur patent right officials are
In th business ' of promoting valuable
patent right "for the common good."
Thai ar two or three associated oil
companies which hav capital and facili
ties by which to refine oil for less money
than tha independents. It the new proc
ess is to be public property, those com
panies will be able to get the business
and rap th benefits. But suppose one
ef those powerful companies maintains
Its ancient record of bribery? How many
government officials ar to turn mil
lionaire? Is It not about time that our Washing
ton government hav a real cleaning up
and cleaning out? Ia our patent office
to b a sifting machine to disclose valu
able Inventions? Patent rights stand
more In th way of the trust than any
ether factor in our country. They form
a basis by which the independent manu
facturer may hold out against the price
cutting of the powerful trusts. What
worse theft can there be than to steal by
perverting justice?

SALT LAKE CITT, Utah, March 2a
To th Editor of The Bee: Having read
an article In your paper wherein It speaks
of the clothiers' organisation seemingly
for the purpose of agitating and suggest
ing remedies for the extreme wool short
age tn this country, and having hadt
more than the average experience In the
sheep business, I readily appreciate what
this would mean if carried Into opera
tion. While I think I grasp their idea, I
fall to aee any practical suggestions along
the line of practice. Merely going into
th sheep business does' not mean euo
ceas. Notwithstanding the possible profit
from a sheep, they have all other stock,
skinned forty ways for Sunday. Behind
this remains the fact that any business
capable of large profits Is equally capabl
of as much loss. Therefore the element
of risk should and coUld be eliminated
by first preparing for the business.
If we are going to advise our farmers
to each rats a few sheep, we should
advise them how to do It successfully.
In my judgment, the first and most
needed preparation Is to fence and cross
fence with woven wire. Seed each field
to one particular kind of crop. In . so
doing, the moment his harvest Is off. he
can open th gala and let hi flock in.
There they will thrive -and convert Into
a handsome profit th wasted grain and
obnoxious weeds that would otherwise
poison the land. In addition to the pois
onous weed, he would . have a valuable
coating of richness left on tha ground
which would Increase the yield of his
following crop. Hence, I say th key
not to th success ef this business la the
woven wire fence, coupled with a little
oommoa sens farming, the result of
which would be marvelous. Now how
is he going to do th thing? Just aa
aoon a finances can be obtained by those
farmers, the color of which doee not
have to ba shown every sixty or ninety
days It takes from ten to twelve month
to produce a lamb. . Therefore the fellow
who might be very successful, with un
limited time on tba. money he might have
to borrow, would make a dismal failure
If he had to sell before his stock waa
matured. C. BENJAMIN RETNOLDS.

W. K. Maxwell In Judge,
Yesterday Mlrsndr roted.
But so far T haven't noted
That she'e rprohed any whiskers or
adopted trouserettea;
And she hasn't Indicated
Rlnee she got emnnclpated
That she means to start out raiding with
a bunch of suffragettes.
Took her half sn hour to do It.
And ss soon as she was through it.
She went hustling homo without a stop
to scrub tho pantry floor;
Cooked the dinner, did some baking.
Trimmed a dress thst she was making.
Mended socks and got the ironing sll done
by half-past four.
She appears to be as able
To keep victuals on the talle
And to keep the moths from feeding on
my go-to-meeting coat
Just as handy with the babr
(Or a little more so. maybe)
As she waa before they told her woman
ought to have the vote.
Far as I've observed Mlrandy,
She is Just as fond of candy
And as keen to read the fashions and the
daily household hints
As before she was my "equal,"
And however strange the sequel
I've been Just a trifle prouder of Mlrandy
ever since!
