A REMARKABLE CLIMATE
Where People Never Feel the Cold.

From the Chicago Tribune.
Yes, ~ remarked the st. Paul man TO a friend
from Chicago, as he stood arrayed in his blanket
suit and adjusted a couple of buckskin chest
protectors; yes, there is something about the
air in this Northwestern climate which causes
a person not to notice the cold It's extreme
dryness. he continued, as he drew on a couple
OF extra wooden socks, a pair Of Scandinavian
sheepskn boots and some Alaska overshoes-

Three Important Combinations.

The nominations of Mr. Lamar, Mr.. Villas
and Mr.. Dickinson were confirmed yester-
day. There never was any doubt with re-
gard to the nominations of Mr.. Villas and
Mr. Dickinson, but the vote on Mr. Lamar's
nomination shows that the Republicans had
determined to spare no efforts to defeat him.
Had this not been the year for the
election OF President 1t is proba-
bic that his nomination would
have been confirmed without much, if any,
opposition. He is personally popular with
most of the Republican Senators, and about
his fitness for the position of Associate
Justice of the Supreme Court, there can
be no doubt. The Republican leaders, how
ever, thought they could make
political capital by opposing his
nomination. A few Republican
Senators refused to be whipped into line,
and the attempt to defeat him therefore
failed.
Mr.. Villas and Mr.. Dickinson having been
confirmed, the Cabinet is again complete,
and Il very good Cabinet it is. Mr.. Dickin.

What the Women Say About Little
Josef Holman.

From the Brooklyn Eagle.
| heard that marvellous little Holman at
Wednesdays matinee and wondered with others
perhaps, what use there was in toiling and
struggling and growing up if lads could be so
perfectly ready made. 1t was great audience
that listened, and ladies' made the greater share
of it. Their comments on the lad were curious
to listen to. The Rambler was surrounded by
femininity and caught some few phrases such
as these;
oh, you dear little fellow
How should like to kiss him"
Isn't he just too sweet for anything"
II don't believe he is 10 years old.
"Oh, oh, did you see him duck his head? the
little dear"
Mamma, mamma, oh, mamma, see him
laugh This from girl of say 81
Poor little fellow; that hOrrid stool won't let
him put his feet on the floor"
See him fix his necktie.''
Il wonder what they pay him.
Isn't he lovely?"
He isn't a hit afraid"
''Oh, could Just hug you"
''oee him laugh at the band"
They have a great big man lead him in to
make him look small
Isn't he cunning?''
Look look Lizzie he's coming back"
oh. he won't play any more"
Hes tired, poor dear"
Now he's going to play. Oh, just look t

Make Me a Song.

Out of the silence make me a song,
Beautiful, sad and soft and low;
Let the loveliest music sound along
And wing each note with wall of woe
Dim and drear;
As hopes last tear
Out of the silence make me hymn
Whose sounds are shadows soft and dim.
Out of the stiffness in your heart
thousand songs are sleeping there
Make me bat one, thou child of art,
The song of hope in a last despair,
Dark and low,
4 chant of woe;
Out of the stiffness. tone by tone,
Soft as snowflake, wild as moan,
Out of the dark recesses flash me a song,
Brightly dark and darkly bright:
Let 1t sweep as love star sweeps along
The mystical shadows of the night,
Sing it sweet,
Where nothing is drear, or dark, or dim.
And earth songs melt into heavens hymn.

Why Nicolini Was Indignant.
Edmund Yates in Chjcnoo Tribune

1t is only natural that the papers should write
about Nine. Patti wherever She sings but they
do so whether she sings or not The French
papers are full ofchatf because on her departure
from Paris the railway employees took no notice
Of her. She had to run to get ticket for her
little dog, and was generally neglected on ac-
count of Queen Isabella absorbing all the atten-
ton. Now it so happened thatth very carriage
in which the Queen Travelled caught fire. and she
was transferred to the salon of Nine Patti.
which Nicoini is said to have considered an in
trusion, complaining bitterly that they should
have made so much more of Queen Isabella
than of Nine. Nicolni, But, said the chief of
the train, this is the mother of the late King
and the grandmother of the present King"

piled. Nine. Patti is queen, too; she is the

The Savannah Valley Convention.

The Savannah Valley Convention.
A very important convention will be held
at Augusta on Jan. 1926. It's object is to
promote the Improvement of the Savannah
river, which, though one of the largest and
most important in the country, has been, to
a great extent, neglected by the govern
ment. This neglect, it is claimed, is due
in some measure to the apathy Of the peo-
pie who ought TO be most interested in its
improvement. Doubtless such is the fact,
and determined effort on their part would
probably have the effect of securing larger
appropriations for it.
The members of the Legislature from the
counties of Anderson, Abbeville, Edgefeld,
Aiken, Barnwell, Hampton and Beaufort,
in South Carolina, and from those of Frank
lin. Hart, Ebert, Lincoln, Wilkes, Column
bia, Richmond, Burke, Scriven, Effingham
and Chatham, in Georgia, have been in
vited to attend the convention, and invita-
tons have also been sent to the Governors
of Georgia and South Carolina, their Com
missoners of Agriculture and their Con
gressional delegations, the Congressional
Committee on Rivers and Harbors and rep
resentative farmers in the counties named
All those invited who can should attend the
convention.
1t is hardly probable that the River and
Harbor Committee viii be present, but
delegation should be appointed TO go to
Washington and explain 10 that commit
tee the needs OF the Savannah river.
Savannah should have 4 voice in the Con-
vention. 1t is of vital importance to her.
The appropriations for her harbor have
heretofore been totally inadequate for its
needs A big appropriation is needed this
year, and it can be obtained only by earnest
and active work

Senator Hale's Insincerity.

Why is it that the Republican Journals
cannot be honest when attacking the Presi-
deltt DO they not know that # they had a
regard for truth their attacks would be
much more eirectivet The people are not
so easily deceived as these journals and
leaders seem TO think.
Senator Hale made what his party friends
considered to be quite a vigorous attack
upon the President day or two ago, in n
speech which he delivered in the Senate.
His purpose was 10 show that the President
has not been true TO MS civil service pledges.
Did be succeed, He did not, although the
journals Of his party asserted that he did.
1t is true that he showed that the President
has made a great many appoi ntments, and
that the majority of the principal offices
are now filed by Democrats, but he was not
honest enough to say that no one of the APP
pointments TO which he called attention
was within the scope Of the civil service
law.
If Senator Hale wanted TO make a point
against the President why did he not show
that the civil service law had been violated,
or had not been enforced as it should have
beeni The reason was he could not. The
civil service law has not only been con
scientiously enforced, but has been made
much more effective by the adoption of in
telligent regulations than its trainers ever
thought it would be-
Democrats have been appointed to succeed
Republicans where the terms of Republi-
cans have expired. Senator Hale seems to
think that the Republicans should have been
reappointed, or that other Republicans
should have been appointed to succeed those
going out of Office. But why should Repub-
licans have been appointed rather than
Democrats There is no obligation, legal
or otherwise which requires the President
to appoint Republicans to Office.
The civil service law does not reach the
officers who hold their places for a specified
term. 1t includes only minor officials
whose tenure depends upon fitness and good
behavior. Have any of these lost their
places without sufficient cause. If they
have the country has heen kept in ignorance
with regard to the matter.
Senator Hale was one of the Republican
leaders who wanted all the Republicans re-
tanned in Office, and because they were not he
is trying to put the President in position of
having been false to his civil service
pledges. He will not succeed. In waiting
for the terms of the Republican officials to
expire before appointing their successors,
the President displayed a regard for the
principles of civil service reform that
was highly creditable to him. No
doubt as the country becomes educated to
civil service reform, the civil service reform
law will be so amended as TO include within
its operations other classes of the civil
service. If Senator Hale is a civil service
reformer he ought to commend, rather than
condemn, the President for the earnest and
successful manner in which he has admins
tered the civil service law. 1t is prob
able, however, that he is the advocate
of the spoils system, and would be glad to
have that system in operation again.
