to clerical duties. There has been some
dent might decide to classify these people,
many of whom are filling places Of clerks
who are paid salaries two and three times
as great as drawn by them.
THAT matter was in effect settled when
the plan OF registration Of laborers was
adopted in the departments" said Mr.. Gar
field. Under that plan, which is working
satisfactorily, laborers will not in the flu
ture be given clerical work Of any kind. and
the intention is that such laborers as are
doing clerical work now will eventually be
put at semi-clerical work. and SO on. until
they get back to the work for which they
stimulate these people to standing examina-
tons and securing government positions
through the civil service. A good many Of
them are dropping out because they know
there Is no chance OF promotion for them.
1.-THE civil service commission feels that 1t
would be unfair to people who have passed
examinations and are on the eligible list to
have men who have not passed examina-
lions appointed to positions that were in
tended to be filled only upon competitive ex-
animation It IL true, as stated, that men
who have served the government faithfully
ion8 time as laborers. but doing higher
classe1 Of work, deserve some reward, but
most pf them knew when they accepted
their POSITIONS that there was no chance for
promotion.
"No. it is not necessary for Congress to
pass q bill to classify laborers doing cleri-
cal work. It IL within the power Of the
President to do this, II he desires. He II
authorized under the law to classify what
ever employees OF the government he deems
wise, and he could do so in this case II he
sees it,"

all other communities, there is the
lawless element. Moral euasion with
that class is q farce, and the only
thing that Will hold it in check is
the certain and swift justice they
meet at the hands of the law. The
laws are too lax, or else not rigidlv

opportunity to act in a fit of wrath,
and commit deeds that they would
not do when the heat Of passion has

give rise to all sorts of loopholes of
escape to the guilty, and they often

A few days ago, former editor

charge of violating the: United States
postal laws, by sending obscene mat
ter through the mails. He has not
been tried upon the charge, and the
Inter Ocean, therefore, refralns from
commenting upon the particular Of

proprieties to say that the article in
question was one published in
newspaper 1t was one of those half
ribald, suggestive stories that pass
muster by the campfire of the hunter,
but would net be repeated by any self
respecting man in the presence Of
ladies'. There is class Of newspapers
which take delight in using ha If
smutty, wholly suggestive stories as
reading matter, and consider such
things witty. They may be SO.
Abe Lincoln's stories conveyed an
argument that could not be conveyed
otherwise. His enemies charged that
they were smutty, yet one of his
greatest biagrophers, who was also a
personal friend of the martyred
PRESIDENT, says he never repeated a
story that could not be told in a com
pany of the most refined ladies'. There
is certainly no reason why news

no point, illustrate no thought, and
serve no purpose except to bring the
blush of shame to the cheek of refined
women, and men, too, for that matter.
Those things do not show an elevated
mind nor cultured ability. On the
contrary they show tendency to the

suppress. Those publications serve
no purpose except to tickle the. intel.
lectual palate Of few morbi d mind:

FRIDAY, DEC. 4 1908.

The government of Colombia has
learned. when too late, that even
with a nation as generous as the
United Staes, there is a limit at
which forbearance ceases to be a vlr-
tue. -, When this country proposed
TO construct work of world impor
tance. and offered to Colombia all
that Justice demanded and more too,
for that matter, that nation acted
like an impudent boy anil supposed
that as the construction of the canal
could not be undertaken without the
consent of that august nation, it could
Napoleon like, dictate its own terms.
But it reckoned without its host. and
now special representative from the
Colo mbian government has been
rushed pell NELL to Washington to
beg for the things it was formerly
offered. It,,has attempted to league
together the other Latin nations of
the south to demand of this govern
ment a concession of these same
things. But the other nations of
South America, to use a honely ex-
preston, know which side of their
bread is buttered, and only too we'll
recognize the fact that such course
might lead to a, REIMBURSEMENT Of
the. great international moral law,
termed the Monroe Doctrine, by virtue
of which the NATIONS of South Amer
ica have not only been permitted to
assume places among those of the
world. but by which their very exis
tance has been preserved aud main
tanned. Take the Monroe Doctrine
and the ability of the United Staess to
enforce it. from the South American
republics, AMI they would become
national chaos and be the prey of
European NATIONS within a year.
Many of them know this, and will
think twice before taking step that
may lead to this condition. The
course of this country in the Panama
matter has been frank and honorable
and has met tn approval of the
world. Now that Colombia sets up
"a piteous cry about why she is will.
Ing to do to make amends, it will
lea m it is far too late. There will
be no war on the istpmus, and Pan,
anna will live as nation. 80

will present Hamlet here next week, ,
said student of the Avon bard.
Don't know about what he will
present, but he is playing some of
the productions of that author. Some
body once said that the man who
knew the bible and Shakespeare was
educated. One thing is certain the
man who knows Shakespeare is a
past master in English literature.
Yet no man can know Shakespeare
without having seen him played.
Hamlet may interest and instruct as
we read 1t, but when it is presented
on the stage by classic artists such
as compose MIR. Dodge s, company
it becomes living body where be-
fore it had peen sack of,,dry bones.
But say. Shakespeare's writings Fare
rather peculiar. They were written
for the stage originally and are'not
dramatized Now, the greatest plays
are the dramat' zat ion.. of some popular
book. rs Trne, Mary Mel Lane has never
had any Of her passionate outbursts

Patch is creating nine days

A discussion is being had in this
community as to Whether or not it is
best for the moral training Of the
pupils to have the bible read ii the
public schools. Will Cath please
discuss this matter in the nex sst1e
of the Inter Ocean r. So writ oue
OF our esteemed readers The reading
Of the bible can be made farce II, a
benefit. If the latter it is certsli 1iy
a good thing. If the former it is the
reverse. Neither child or adult viii
lose ANYTHING by reading the biple.
For history and science and art, and
civil government, and moral laws,
the bible is a veritable storehouse,
while all these are conferred around
and are morely incidental to the great
truth of the unfolding of Divinity to
man. But for the purpose Of mould
ing the moral character Of the child,
it depends far more upon the teacher
than upon the book Some teachers
can instill more religion in the mind
OF pupil in fifteen minutes from a
McGufey speller- that 8 the kind we
used when q boy-than others could
in fifteen years from the bible. To read
with the nasal twang of the average
teacher a disconnected chapter from
the bible every morning becomes to
the child about as entertaining as
taking dose of castor oil. 1t is the
repetition of Dickens morning dose
fol the pupils What the child in the
formative period Of life needs is to have
an interest for the bible created in his
mind. There are plenty Of things
that will do tnat. the construction
of the tabernacle. with its furnishing {
the magni6cence ofSolomop's temple,
the wanderings in the wilderness, and
thousand other things read to the
child like the pages of romance. The
teacher who can instill in the child 8
thirst tor that information whether il
be by reading those stories or other
wise, can be trusted to read the bible
in school with good results. But th
formal reading without regard to the
harmony Of conditions will usually
create an adherence for the book that
should be loved.

Nationality is deepseated. You can
tell the nationality of any except an
American, by his physiognorny. Then
there are other ways. The other day,
a native Of Japan--that country that
wants to lick Russia for fun-was
passing up the street with a load of
chairs. Ever see an American carry
ing them2 Well, he'll take two in
each hand, with the backs together,
and make half dozen trips to carry
two dozen chairs That's not the
way with the people Of Japan This
one had beam across his shoulder to
which were strung twenty seven chairs
and he was delivering the whole
number at one effort. True. he
looked like walking furniture

the national training of doing much
work with little effort. That's
what we want to learn.
