Yesterday, February Q, WAS what lie
generally known as ground hog day, the
day upon which his majesty the ground
hog comes out of his hole te make an
in, pection of the weather. If he sees his
shadow he erawls back into his hole and
sleeps for six weeks longer and we have
a period of winter weather for that length
of time. He could certainly see his shad-

had better be prepared for six weeks

TO ASSAlL CIVIL SERVICE


Attack OF tho Law WIN He Made In

WASHINGTON, Jan 3.-The time of
the House this week, after it meets
on Wednesday. will probably be en-
tirely devoted to the debate on the
civil service question. No one serious
~ believes, however. that the upshot
of the debate will be the striking out
of the appropriation for the commits
sion. This proposition can not
by any means command the full
strength of the opposition, the leaders
of which think direct legislation
should be enacted to repeal or radio
ally amend the law. The debate.
therefore, will simply be in the ma
ture of general airing of views Of
the members of the House. the only
practical effect of which will be to
place them on record for the future.
