£ brought about at one turn of the
crank. But the country has rea-
son to expect that in making ap-
pointments President-Taft will
not aecept the mere indof^enrent
of a party boss as conclusive.
This is ;what Mr„> Roosevelt did
in mafiy states, and it was this
—^-'-je which constituted the
i-~#ystem. The referee
system is repugnant to a proper
sense of political decency. It vi-
olates the spirit of law, in that
it virtually abrogates the appoint?
ing power to men who are re-
sponsible to no one.- The conse-
quences of it are apt to be as bad
as the principle it involves. It
ignores the sentiment of the com- |
munity which the appointee is to
serve. It represses individual-
ism within the councils of a par-
ty makes henchmen out of those
