promo court of the United States
has disponed of the troublesome
Standard Oil cases which have been
apealed to that tribunal. This
uiciiiim an Indefinite otponeinent.
The duestlons of ship aubsldies
ami postal laving banks also scum to
be fretting the portly president a
great deal. In speaking of the latter
he calls especial attention of emi-
gre us to the fact that thu successful
party at the laat e'ee'lon declared In
favor of the postal savings banks nud
speaking personally he added: "I am
convinced that the people desire such
banks and am sure that when thu
banks are furnished they will be pro-
ductive) of the utmost good."
These banks will not if constituted
be operated in opposition or compe-
tition with the regular banks of thu
country and the rato of Interest al-
lowed will be so small that deposits
In other banks will not hu withdrawn.
However there Is a strenuous opposl-
sltion to the system and it llnds Its
being In the heart of thu successful
party In the recent e'ectlon.
.President Taft also recommends
as his distinguished predecessor the
incessant Roosevelt that congress
consider and pass a ship subsidy bill
looking to the establishment of lines
between the Atlantic seaboard nml
the eastern coast of South America
as well as lines from the western
coast of the United States to South
House on Earth to Undersell
America China lapan and the1 Philippine-
Islands.
The chief oppo.-iuou to this meas-
ure also cornea from the republican
members nlthough the party plat-
form ImB twice declared In favor of
such a bill.
To the south and especially to tho
residents of the Mississippi valley
thu discussion of tho deep waterway
projpet in of the gruatoat interest
and now thnt the vlewa of I'roslduut
Tnft have been so well defined It Is
hardly likely that congress will al-
low this quuatlon to again pass unno-
ticed. Tho preliminary work has
been woll done and while the advo-
cates of deep waterways have not
secured from the president the exact
text of what they wanted he Is suf-
llcently committed to Insure his
hearty co-operation when the matter
presents Itself before congress.
It is of course too early to pre-
dict how thu alignment either In the
house or the senate will be on tiny
of these propositions. It seems more
than probable that there will be a
wide and radical difference of views
entertained by most members on the
various propositions mentioned and
that no two of them will develop
the same vote. Perhaps tho best
guide to be employed at this time
as to the general direction of the
Taft Influence upon session will be
found In his late remarks in defense

In prnlso of the compromise system

To those who aro familiar with
the lcws of congress from the differ-
en' ilvisions of the country and
who have read the message of I 'res-
Mi nt Taft with this knowledge be-
fore the in the auggeatlon of a s'onny
winter in Washington becomes al- 1
nio.1 a certainty for It Is u foregone '
conclusion thnt neither Insurgents
nor tho ultra-conservative republi-
cans will bo enthusiastic to follow .
In the path ns lnlel down by the presi-
dent In his recent message. j
To the general public the coming
session means a great ileal and but
one hope lingers behind the general 1
nntitip.i lon and that Is If there be
compromises and there necessarily
mut be that they will come nearer i
to bringing with them right and ren-
son than they diet in the late lament-
ed Fpeclal session when Aldrlch and
Payne held the spotlight and fathered
mi much extraordinary legislation.

TEACHERS AND CIVIL SERVICE.
Tin re Is not a teacher in Oklahoma
wlio docs not realize that tho Inse-
curity of the teacher In his position J
1.4 a much greater handicap op the I
profession than insufficient wages. In
a recent Issue the Dally Oklahoinan
said editorially that "not a teacher
In Oklanoma rrom the president of
the state university to the poorest
paid tenchd '.n n negro school knows
this year whether or not he will
have his id. -co noxt year."
Nothing Is moro apparent than that
I Hie teacher's Insecurity in his posi-
tion drives ninny of the most cap-
able Instructors out of the school
room and compels those who remain
to continually play politics. A state
i officer once he Is cdected can erect
a home anil live In It for a term of
years. He Is secure In his position
for the term for which he was chos-
I en. I5ut tho way thu laws are admin-
I Istercei in Oklahoma a teacher Is not
secure in his position even from year
. to year. Not one per cent of the
teachers In Oklahoma own their own
! homes because they are so well
' aware of tho kaleidoscopic character
of the tenure of their positions. Af
ter a teacher has proven his capacpy
and fitness for a position (say after
throe annual elections by the same 1
board) why should not that board I
bo allowed to contract with him for '
a term of years If it so desires.
Civil Service Practical.
Civil service Is no fail. It has prov-
en Its worth by more than a genera-
tion of practical administration by
the federal government. It has the
1 sanction of all political parties. It
has proven efficient in school admin-
istration In many cities and there Is
( no reason why Oklahoma tho young-
i est and most progressive of the states
j cannot havo tho benefit of Its salu-
j tary provision If the teachers of the
state will but present its manifest
advantages. It can be extended to
rural as easily as to city schools.
