David Babcock who was relieved
from duties as engineer at the pump
station some time ago has been en-
ployed by the Standard in New York

with another employee which pre-

The announcement is made that
as the result of the anti-civil service
conference of congressman that the
administration will act In the matter
before Congress adjourns. 1t is
stated that the change means the
taking of the deputy collectors out
Of the classified service and this
would be followed by other changes.
The faithful must be rewarded, and
as the civil service stands in the way
1t will be set aside, no doubt, wher-
ever 1t most interferes with fulfilling
campaign promises.
THE proof sheets which are issued
by the University to the papers of the
country are proving more and more
popular, More than one hundred
papers in this state receive them and
from outside the state there are near
ly two hundred which have asked for
them. Many OF the big dailies take
pleasure in publishing items from it
and the consequent good to the Uni
versity is incalculable. This paper
takes the credit Of having suggested
the scheme, although. it has been in
use at the University Of Wisconsin
for number OF years.
HERE is a. straight tip from a
newspaper called Brains: ''There is
only one right way to advertise, and
that Is to hammer your name, your
location, your business so constantly,
so thoroughly into the peoples head
that II they walk in their sleep they
will constantly turn their steps TO-
ward your store. The newspaper is
your friend In spite of your criticism.
It helps to build up the community
that supports you. When the day
comes that the newspapers are dead
the people are on the edge of the
grave with nobody to write the
epitaph.
A PRIVATE letter was received
FROM Mr.. ]. e. Galford, successful
attorney at Weston, who graduated

versity, from which we take the lib
crty to publish the following; "Am
getting along nicely in my profession
which l enjoy very much. / would
like to visit old MorgantOwn In her
new dress of progress and improve
ment which she wears with as much
dignity as more pretentious city.
With best wishes for the NEW Do
MINION, the town and the University,
remain as ever your friend"
