Civil Service In the Islands.
1--WE commend the policy Of the republl,
can party in maintaining the efficiency of
the civil service. The administration has
acted wisely in it's efforts to secure for pub
lie service in Cuba, Porto Rico, Hawaii
and the Philippine islands only those
whose fitness has been determined by
training and experience. We believe that
employment in the public service in these
territories should be confined as far as
practicable to their inhabitants.
Against Restriction of the Ballot.
TT was the plain purpose of the fifteenth
amendment to the constitutions to prevent
discrimination on account of race or color
In regulating the elective franchise. De-
vices of state government, whether by stat
utory or constitutional enactment, to avoid
the purpose of this amendment are revOlu-
tonary and should be condemned.
Public movements looking to perma-
nent Improvement Of the roads and high
ways of the country meet with our cordial
to the earnest consideration Of the people
and of the legislatures Of the several
states.
Eve favor the extension of the rural
free-deliyery service wherever its extension
may be justified.
