WEST AND wALcoTr
To Fight at Madison Square Garden
Tonight-Their Fifth Meeting.

New York. Aug. 27.-Tommy West and
Joe Walcott are both in excellent condi-
ton and ready for their fight at Madison
Square Garden tonight. These men have
met in the ring four times in the past.
Each has learned by hard experience the
fighting qualities of the other. Walcott's
desperate rushes and random swings are
as familiar to West as the tricks and
moves of his sparring partner. He has
studied those dangerous hooks of the
Barbados Demon until he believes it
impossible for one of them to land hard
enough to do him harm, but he has pro-
vided for a chance landing Of one of
them by putting himself in condition to
stand deal of punishment
Walcott thinks of the fight much the
same way. Four contests have taught
him just where his danger lies and in
what style of fighting he has the best
chance to win. For years these fighters
have been meeting men out of their
class. They have knocked out middle
weights, We1ter weights and heavy
weights, but in their respective careers
neither has ever met tougher customer
than the other.
West has prepared himself for this
battle in his Brooklyn gymnasium and
in training quarters at Bath Beach.

principles which make for beauty.

girl think would be inclined to that kind OF
dress which would cover the entire body. would
avoid any form Of compression Of the body In
my opinion, it is more wicked for Christian
to compress her body and to hinder the develop

Chinese to dwarf the feet. II I a girl I

tionaliy successful custodianship Of the
public interests has Just received from
the people the most significant and
thorough Endorsement in the annals OF
modern politics, so that 1t will not do
to conclude that 1t has been the ad-
minstration which has been at fault.
What fault there Is traces, instead, to
the law and gives pertinence to the in
quiry whether a wholesale revision and
amendment of that law is not in order.
Applying common sense principles to
practical conditions, the attempt to
elicit proof Of administrative fitness by
written examinations in abstract sci
ences stands condemned as laughably
Inadequate. We have lately had lumin-
Gus examples in China of how tina kind
of civil service tests has worked out in
long-continued practice. There no other
door to public office is open than the
one emphasized by American profess
sional evil service reformers. Yet no.
where on earth is public administration
more hopelessly inefficient and corrupt.
Men possessing practical ability to deal
effectively with every day problems, in
cluding the efficient handing of labor
and marshaling Of creative forces, are
sometimes book-taught and sometimes
not; but the distinctive qualities which
make them successful are invariably
impossible of identification by means
of the written examination system
There Is no other effective test than to
give them trial, retaining and pro-
noting them If found worthy and "fr-
ing" them If found incompetent.
This necessarily vests large discre-
tionary power in the heads of execu-
tive departments; but inasmuch as
that is the rule in private enterprises
"a rule we'll grounded in UNMARRIED ex-
perience-the idea is far less frightful
than some of our professional civil SER
vice reformers would have the public
believe.

"HE LuGuBRIouS lament of
the National Civil Service
"A Reform league as set forth
in another place raises the
question whether a civil service law so
full of loopholes to evasion and so weak
in its enacting clause as the present
law Is II the testimony of it's friends
may be accepted as well founded, is
worth the paper on which 1t is printed.
Something radically wrong is certainly
to be inferred respecting statute
which the reputable men in responsible
places in our federal government have
continually had to violate or evade in
order to effect administrative results
calculated to enlist the practical an
proval of the public.
1t seems to us that the special COM
mittee of the National Civil Service Re-
form league assigned to investigate the
attitude of the present administration
toward civil service reform has in its
diligence proved too much. The great
array of evidence which it has collected
showing how often the existing civil
service act has had to be lodged and
how easy 1t has been to dodge 1t lends
itself much more forcefully to an in
dictment of the act than to an indict-
ment of the administration. The ad-
minstration after four years of excep-
