(IFnlted tm Ieed Wire.) Washington, March 9. On thing which the Knox 'dollar diplomacy" la bent on accomplishing Is reform In the personnel of Uncle Sam's diplomatic and consular service. Knox has intro duced Mr. Common People and Mr. MH lionalre and they are now working side by side, each benefited by the others advice,, and with only one object in view to "get business." , ; Since, the. days of silk stockings and continental breeches the "common peo ple" of tha United States have nursed the idea that the diplomatic service of America . was a pink tea adjunct of the government, which made an excel lent playground for retired millionaires. Of course, the retired1 millionaires have not by any means thrown over the idea that 'diplomatic appointments , are their own little perquisites and the small alarles which the United States pays: to its foreign representatives still make it necessary for the govern ment to cast about for a millionaire wherever It has a vacancy in an Euro pean court. But, at least, in the small countries and from the 1 diplomatic standpoint It Is the small countries that , are really Important for the extensions of "dollar diplomacy") " Secretary Knox's plan Is effecting a marked change In the character of its repre sentatives. :;. '. v': ' ;.' The plnfc tea spirit does not mlt well with commercialism. The state depart- fment is sending out eecretarles of lega tions and ministers as real : "business getters," and this is winnewlng out a big Wjorlty of th citizens who look upon the government service disdain fully, and with the idea that they honor it by holding down one of its jobs. Sulxar for Merit System. . Chairman SuUer of the housa com mittee on foreign affairs, has Just In troduced a bill in the house which will put another chain around the merit system in the diplomatic service. By this bill he Intends to make it certain that no;'-one is going to get into the diplomatic service . who. has not passed a rigid examination, and he is going to be certain that when applicants for these positions take examinations they are going to be selected because they have tha brains to pasa the examination, and hot hecause their fathers holdings in "steel common" have given their mother a strangle hold, on tha 400 set In New Tork. ; ' . .. Sulaer proposes, moreover, after he gets them Into-tha service to see that tby are ranked and paid according to their efficiency. He wants to eliminate the scheme , of having the president send down a list of names of men to be made secretaries Of the legations for the senate's - ratification, when that body does not e know these men, and probably noes not cre. Sulzer wants to have all the men classed and to have each class draw a certain salary. Every man will have to start in low, and when he receives promotion he Will do so by CECILIAN LADIES' ORCHESTRA K ' - is i ' ' i 9 i- T ' .1 I A .

Kven Mike, a small black kitten whom Bosco brought home one night a few weeks ago, enjoyed the occasion. She leaped of her own accord on Bosco's back and rode until Bosco brought her home again. Bosco went out without 4ils glasses one day last fall and was struck by a street car which he failed to see. Only the timely arrival of his master saved him from a policeman's bullet, as ha was supposed to be fatally injured. ASYLUM PLUMBING JOB LET TO INELIGIBLE FIRM (Salem Bureau of Tha InoroaL) ' Salem, Or., March f. A short time ago when the members of the eastern Oregon asylum board visited 'the new asylum buildings at Pendleton and let a contract for the plumbing, the Ap-pllng-Grlggs company of Taeoma was awarded the contract on a til of $;T$. It now develops this company has never qualified as a foreign corporation to do business within this tstate. The company hag no standing in the courts of the state, could not collect the amount of its contract if the state should decline to pay it, and la sub ject to a fine of $109 for doing busi ness in Oregon. Corporation Clerk Babcock in the of fice of the secretary of state, is taking the matter up with the corporation to see that it complies with the law which requires foreign corporations to file a declaration of Intention to do business within the state and to appoint a resi dent of the state as an attorney-in-fact, file a certified copy of its articles of incorporation and pay the annual li cense fete. i ,' 1 r: . t It .

According to Sulzer's bill a record will be kept of each man, and when his name is sent up for promotion the seo retary of state will be obliged to put before the president a statement ot that record and to make it public. ' '' In this way it will be impossible to promote a man before he deserves it, or to prevent bis promotion when ha does deserve. Jt. The chairman of the foreign affairs committee wanta to put on the board of examiners who will de cide on admission to tha diplomatic service a member of the civil service commission,, so that, in the future men will have to work to get into these jobs Just as they have to do to get other civil service Jobs in-Washington, Tha positions will be apportioned according to states, and the idea of whether an applicant votes a .Democratic, or Repub lican ticket will be eliminated. Fof the last month In ons of the rooms of . the department of state, score of budding diplomats have been holding their noses to the grindstones while officials of tha department with good old fashioned School lessons have ground away their crust of self -import' ance, Secretary of 6tate Knox intends to send them out with the Idea tha.t they have good, hard work to do. The diplomatic school, is another prod Uct of "dollar diplomacy." If the pres ent policies of the secretary are to sue coed it Is believed that instead, of hav-j ing an Isolated mission at each foreign 1 capital with a minister and a few of his friends' sona or relatives as secre taries. It Is necessary to have a trained corps, similar in training to the army or navy, or just as a big commercial house would drill a staff of drummers. One of the ideaa which the Republi can secretary of state and tha Demo cratic chairman of the foreign, affairs committee have in .common is that a man should not be sent, in the diplo matic or consular service, to one par ticular place to hold down that one Job. They think that they should be put into the service, trained, ready and willing to be sent to any post aa tha oc casion demands. ... It Is obvious that Secretary Knox and Chairman Sulzer can't do averythlng in a day. Uncle Sam is still going to have millionaires at the expensive embassies In the European capitals, but if he can get. a trained force of subordinates to help them, and real trained diplomats at the smaller capitals, it ia felt that the United .States will have the back bone of an efficient diplomatic fighting force to push its influence abroad. , The Knox idea is that , if a "figure head" must be maintained at the most expensive embassies, younger men will be assigned to the "society diplomat" to do the real work, ; WHILE EXPRESS AGENT . .
