'Tetepbeao by Etf titX Guest KITTENS. Oh, something wonderful occurred at ' ' 'our house Just the other day And there's a constant troop of buys . ' and girl to see this new display. Though Mother' not so very pleneed-, to thing like this she has to i bow, The children dance around with kIc-c because our cat has kitten now. When I went down to fix the fire the ' mewed to me to come an.

But somehow I felt differently when I had called the youngsters down f 1 i ' m I L IS B Their eyes were wide with glad sur prise, . they danced around the cellar floor, Old folks, I know, are seldom pleased when such a glad event occurs.

BACK TO THE SPOILS SYSTEM IT is evident that Mr. Thompson is to be the new postmaster of Pendleton. The appointment is a political one and Mr. . Thompson is not to be blamed. He did not make the ap pointment and if political services are to be rewarded he is doubtless entitled to the honor. But there is considerable that may be said about the polcy of the national administration in thus turning1 back the clock on the merit system: For many years the nation has struggled to jetaway from the Bpoils idea in connection with appointments. Roosevelt was a conspicuous leader in civil service advancement. President Taft helped the cause along and President Wilson fin ished the job by placing all postal appointments under the civil service. Under the operations of that rule the vacancy caused - here by the death of T, J. Tweedy was filled after a bona fide Hvil service examination in which L. B. Cronin. then assistant and now postmaster, won the highest rating. Mr. Cronin is a republican but he was appointed to office by a democratic pres ident because he had earned the job. The same thing was done in Portland when'Mr. Jones was, appointed. Apparently the same policy was applied all over the country, politics having no part in the game at all. , ; : ; , ' But the Harding administration has turned its back on the merit system. In the local examination the real civil service tests, were not applied; if this paper understands the matter properly, The candidates were rated on a different basis. Even at that neither of the two high men secured the office. Perry Idleman was given the highest score, because of five points be ing credited him for his world war service. Mr. Cronin was next in rank and his experience and ability are well known. But neither man won out and apparently the whole matter was left in the hands of Congressman Sinnott who decided it on a politi cal basis. If it is the policy of this administration'to do things in this manner, and reports show similar work is being done all over, the country, then the Harding regime will deserve to go down in history as a regime under which the spoils system was exalted ovcb the merit plan. ' ' But what adds insult to injury, as far as men in the service . are concerned, is that Will Hays as postmaster general, indulged in a great amount of talk about the wonderful value of the merit system and how it would be applied in the postal deoartment. In an article in the American Review of Reviews for December, 191, Mr. Hays discussed the postal service and the following is an extract from the story published under his own signature : 1 Tirm In the conviction of proved (lpmonBtratlon that nothlnqr will rontrib Ute so much to the betterment of the service ns the. Improvement, of the (morale and the cooperation of the men and women doltut tin' service 1 nm just ns firm. ly aonvlncd that the one duty above all others which we owe (he employes is honestly to apply the merit system. You cannot expect men and women to give service If they are to be shuttlectfcks of politics. I hove said, and I re Iterate, thut the postal establishment most certainly is not an Institution for politics nor for profit, but an Institution for service. It would be my very greatest satisfaction If in this period of activity I might contribute a little to the end thnt the postal service, ns indeed the entire civil service, might be made more and more a desirable career Into which the young can enter with a certainty that their services will be performed under reasonable conditions for a reasonable wage and for an appreciative people. The men and women who constitute the great army of postal co-workers are doing a distinct government and public net-vice, and they are entitled to an appreciation commensurate with the efficacy and importance ot that service. The very first element of a proper appreciation Ib to muke certain that honest ana efficient service ahull be honestly recognised, anil thst the merit system iliull control without any subterfuge. What hypocrisy for Mr. Hays to say such things? Why talk about "morale' and appreciation," the ' merit system and about not making postal positions the "shuttlecock of politics" at the very time when the stage was set for restoration of the , Bpoils system. The situation is one to make people blush with shame, ho matter what their politics may be. It means that men who have striven faithfully to render service and to qualify for efficient work and often have devoted the best years of their lives to the service have been deceived and betrayed. The national admin istration has broken faith with its civil service employes. WS1I0MIE Hrassin Declares Restoration of World's Economic Life Futile Without Russia. By DAVID II.

"Heuvy industry in Russia con be restored pnly by some form of gen. eral measure which shall embrace simultaneously nil the enterprises of the given area. It Is difficult to out line the mechanism of such an appa ratus of reconstruction; but the most effective would appear to be tho for mation of several large trusts, with the participation both of the Soviet State and of foreign capital, tho Soviet State granting land and existing equip ment, and foreign capital giving In re turn a definite- proportion of the out put as compensation for the rights It has acquired."
