OWL SERVICE REFORM.
In my letter accepting the nomination for Vice
President, l stated that, IN my Judgment, no man
should be an incumbent OF an Office the duties of
which he is for any cause unfit to perform who
is lacking in the ability fidelity or integrity which
proper administration of such an office de-
man6s- This sentiment would doubtless meet
with general acquiescence, but opinion has been
widely divided upon the wisdom and practicability
OF the various reformstory schemes which have
been suggested, and-of certain proposed regulations
governing appointments ia public Offices. The eff

ness capacity. and special fitness for the par
tcular work at hand. 1t seems 20 me that the
efforts that should be apple to the management Of
the public service may properly conform in the
main to such as regulate the condition Of success
ful private business. Original appointments should
be based upon ascertaned fitness The tenure of
office should be stable. Positions OF responsibility
should, SO far as practicable, be filed by worthy,
efficient officers. The investigation OF all COM
plants, and the punishment OF ell official n1iscon
duct, should be prompt and thorough. Tie views
expressed in the foregoing letter are those which
will govern me IN the administration Of the execu
tive office. These are doubtless shared by all
Intelligent and patriotic citizens, however diver
gent in opinion as to the best methods
q putting them into practical operation
for example, the assertion that original appoint
ment should be based upon ascertained fitness is
not open 70 dispdte. but the question how in prac
tice such fitness can be most efectuay ascertained
Is one which has for years excited interest and dr.

DENTAL ELECTIONS.
The importance of timely legislation with resnec.
to the ascertainment and declaration of the vote
for Presidential electors was sharply called To the
attention OF the people than four years ago 1t
is to be hoped that some vel defined measure NAV
De devised before another national election, which
VIII render unnecessary resort TO any expedient of
temporary character for the determination Of cues
lions upon contested returns.
THE QUESTION OF DISABILITY.
Questions which concern the very existence OF
the Government and the liberties OF the people
were suggested by the prolonged illness of the late
President and his consequent incapacity to perform
the functions OF his office. 1t is provided by the
second article Of the Constitution, in the fourth
clause OF it, first section, that in case OF
the removal of the President from office. or OF
his death by assassination or inability to DIS
charge the powers and duties of said Office, the

OPPOSITION TO THE NEW CODE
rts Fnte In the LEGISLATURE Matter of Great
Interest to the National Guard,


The new military code recently presented
to tho Legislature for adoption Ia now before
tho Military Committee Of tho Assembly. Com
muncations adverse to its adoption havo been
sent by the Seventh. Fifth, and Ninth Regi-
ments. Other commands are strongly In favor
OF II. and there Is every prospect OF lively
contest to kill tho code or many OF its sections
The Seventh leads In tho opposition. and at a
recent meeting OF the board OF officers COM
mttee was appointed to confer with the head
quarters Of other regiments with view to So
curing cooperntion. As a prelipinary to tho
asked that an appropriation OF 1925 900 be in
sgrted IN tn Supply BIZ for new state service
pornrily dsfeated 1t in the committee. Friends
OF the now code say. however that If the code is
adopted special bill will easily overcome this
obstacle.
The Commander-ln- Chief and tho Adjutant-
tenera think the opposition to the code Is un-
character OF the committee for tho revision OF
the code, and claim that when its provisions are
thoroughly understood opposition will cease.

operate with the committee said he thought
that many Of the features of the new code were
not objectionable for active duty. but he thought

. with respect to the proposed State uniform.
the Adjutant- General and members of the COM
mission for tho revision OF the code say that the
Intention Is to adopt one in every wav neat and
appropriate and pleasing to the State forces.
One reason assigned by a prominent officer
for the antagonism Of the Seventh to the bill is
that the regiment has always made the men

the favor of Mr.. Kelsey and eX-Goy. Mcclellan.
As tho reappointment OF the Secretary OF State

that tho medium sat facing the audience. the
chairs were ranged along the walls. and the gaa

The ancient Assyrians were evidently nc

Ruins of Athens" for many phrases OF 1t were
in the march played. Antquarians vii alse be
