' JMfROyiNG THE CIVIL SERVICE, It was considered a kind of fad of, fussy reformers, yean ago, when people began to come out for the merit sys tem in the civil service of the government Some of the pol iticians who preferred the spoils system, called the new idea "snivel service reform." But the plan steadily made pro gress among the people. They could not see why a man should be appointed a postmaster or a government clerk, merely because he was a Republican or a Democrat. They knew that such considerations had nothing to do with ap pointing superintendents in factories or bookkeepers in bus iness offices. They felt it must be equally desirable to have politics excluded from services operated by the government. President Coolidge in his recent message asked that all post masters, collectors of customs, collectors of internal revenue and prohibition agents, should be put into the classified serv ice.-. Whatever the politicians may think of this idea, me people are likely to approve of it .. The politicians may say that it will be impossible to get the political work of the com irfunity done, unless the workers are given some prospect of reward, in the shape of an appointmeut to some public of fice. . However, the people will be apt to feel that a large part of the political work done with the motive of getting jobs, is not well done, and were better if it were not done at all. The time will eventually come when politicians will win their battles, not by distributing political rewards, but as the Jesuit of efficient records in the public service.. When that time comes, the politicians will realize that they must have the most competent people in all the government posi tions, without regard to what their political opinions are. Public attention is excited and horrified by the work of bandits and bank robbers, yet forms of dishonesty are going on. that secure vastly more money than, these brutal kinds of robbery. The evils of commercial dishonesty were brought .up at the recent meeting of the Commercial Law League of " America at New York, where attention was called to frauds HI the use of credit, mis-re- r-ntations, faked bankruptcies And false insurance claims. There are many ways by which ' crooked people are constantly getting away with big and little sums.

We want to develop in the business community the old sense of personal honor that will far rather give up a dollar than obtain it by questionable means. . . . o ' Appropriations totalling approximately thirty-nine mil lions of dollars for continuing the enforcement of the prohi bition law on both land and water is the answer of congress to the demand of a handful of its members that the law be revised. The louder the clamor against the Volstead law, the more money the government will spend, if necessary, to compel obedience to it How long this contest of inverse ratios will be maintained is a matter of conjecture, but Un cle Sam can be depended on to stay with the job until he has finished it properly regardless of the cost : 0 aieMi . . ; . . . iL . !

We have a prophet in our town who tells what weather to expect; "by guessing well, a wide renown he somehow managed to collect. (To trees,, to birds, to clouds o'erhead, to all omens he gave heed; he had nine groundhogs in his shed, and all the gooaebones he might need. While yet his guesses hit the mark, we hailed him as a man of brains; we jammed around him in the park, and gave him large gold headed auiea. He was a safe and honest guide in all things touching atmosphere; we pointed to our seer with prido, when strangers from the east were here. Adjacent towns might have their points, might have some things of which to boast, but couldn't find in all their joints a prophet known from coa.st to coast. At last he seemed to lo.se his grip, when lie said "Fair" there'd be a flood, and folks who started on a trip would stall their autos in the mud. He called for rain and there'd be drouth, he banked on heat, and 'twould be cold ; and every word that left his mouth got him in worse, a hundred fold. He used to have a noble mien, he paced the - town with haughty stride, he had the bearing of a queen, his breast was filled with honest pride. But now he slinks along the street, an abject figure, worn and sad ; he's roundly cuss ed by Mike and Pete, and all the voter of the grad. So often , mortals make a hit, and gain renown that soon decays! Alas, they don't know when to quit, and so they lose their wreaths r of bays. Tell me where, If you will Is the girl of my youth? With the old fashioned modesty, old fashloued truth. Whose demure, furtive glance on her passiug you by. Seemed to knock at your heart, brought the tear til your eye, Of an Innocence born that was never revnea. And the jewels she wore were, just seen when nhe smiled, That old fashioned girl. I have looked far and wide for this girl of my dreams, In the old country luncs, In the rlty that teems Willi girls t-i'iii all hearthstones, tor one who recalls That maid ot the past, but compar ison palls At these tinsels ot fashion, strangers to home. And my heart swells with pily, for they've never known That old fashioned girl. jtoDietHealth iwl,.hi Hunt ft4r.MIl COMMON EYE TROUBLES ' Foreign Bodies In the Eye.
