 He then announced himself a spolsman and that he delighted" in it adding that he never had been able to attain the in- tellectual enthusiasm of those who would entirely dlsassociate an applicant for of- flee from political conviction. "I be- lieve," he said fiatly, that to the victor the spells belong and if I had my way under a republican administration would not allow a democratic endorse ment to be filed, nor would I as dem ocrat permit the filing of a republican endorsement under democratic admins tration."
 He added that he would ask no favor of political enemies and said that if such favors were granted he would not think much of those who granted them, as he would know that they would expect fa- vors in return.
 He had no complaint he declared, that the republicans now appoint their parti- sans, but he did complain when there was violation of the law under the political dilettanteism connected with tSe service under present conditions.
 Never More Scandals.
 There never had been more scandal In the departments than since the present system was begun, he said, and if the republicans had been able to turn the democratic rascals out of office when they took control of the government they would not now be able to plead every time the postoffce scandal mentioned mentioned that one of the chief offenders had been democrat. Partisanship, he went on. never ran too high to suit him, provided it was intelligent enough to dis criminate. He predicted that if the pres- ent system should be continued, the country would soon have a civil pension list.
 MT. Hale interrupted Mir. Bailey with the statement that he fully agreed with much that the Texan had said, yet, he added, it was impossible to get a change because of the unwillingness of congress to put itself on record. He called atten- ton to the fact that whenever there was roll call on the subject in the house of representatives it failed to sustain other votes against the civil service system.
 Tn view of this fact" he asked, does the senator from Texas think there is the slightest chance of a changer
 Mir Bailey replied that he did not think there was and MT. Hale said: "Is there not a sort of a pail resting on congress which prevents its expression of its con viction as to what should be done?'
 MT. Galnger asked concerning execu- tive order creating civil service positions for many hundred employees fin the rural delivery service.
 You might have some one in the senate ask the postmaster general what mem- bers of congress recommended their ap- pointment," remarked Mir. Bailey. and a laugh was provoked at this indirect ref erence to the recent controversy In the house.
 At $40 the senate adjourned.

Sunshine Territory.

Prof. Charles E. I.innty, weather
bureau section director for the section
of New Mexico, for October contains
the following article:
To the people of the sunshine terri
tory, who daily rejoice in its glorious
weather, and to the many thousands
who annually come within our borders
seeking health and happiness under our
cloudless skies, the daily forecasts of the
United States weather bureau, as a rule,
appeal by their tone of truthful mo-
notony, for they run fair weather, no
decided change in temperature, the
greater portion of the time. But in
many parts Of the United States the
constantly changing weather has led to
springing up of n small army of So
called long range weather forecasters,
who wax fat on the unsuspecting and
credulous pubic. Fortunately New
New Mexico has proven a most barren
field for these misguided and mis-gud
ing individuals, aad few, IL any, of the
local press of the territory are given to
publishing their so-called predictions.

side of the problem.
Another rule which cannot fail to have
an effect upon the social life of the woman
of the house is the one which says: IF the
employer has more than four callers in one
afternoon she must answer the bell her
self" This rule will, OF course, tend to
lessen the number of afternoon calls. and
thus do away with another social bore which
has always been more or less perfunctory.
Thus, it Will be seen that, while at first
sight the rules Of this new union may ap-
pear startling, if one thinks them over for
a time and looks on the bright side, one will
see how beneficent they are. And, even if
certain inconvenience do arise at first, the
employer will soon get accustomed to
them, and in the course of time will forget
that any different state of affairs ever ex-
listed. The father of the previously men
toned family of nine is invited TO think
how much he will be benefited. Perhaps he
is getting $50 month. With such fair
wages and such a large family he must
keep a servant. But, if he has one, the
rules say he must have three. A minimum
of SIS a month to each will cut his salary in
half. At least SIS more must go for pay
ments on his three pianos. That will leave
him $50 to clothe and feed himself and his
family and servants. He cannot economic
on food, for no remnants can be used, and
he must buy union food, on which there is
cut rates. So he will positively be
obliged to have a raise in salary, and there
is where the benefit comes in. You see, the
system will actually result in his being bet
ter paid.
