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. It is time for businessinen to look carefully in-

tibns, and to watch them carefully'aftcr they are given work,
to see if any signs of dishonesty can be found. 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. . . .

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

THE FORECASTER.
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.
