a report embodying recommendations
for means Of prosecuting this important
part of the boards work. The com
mittee did not believe that the work

ton would be needed. The committee,

the State, such as climate, soil, location.
cheapness of land, &c. That these publ
cations he literally distributed in sections
from which settlers may be obtained
The committee further recommended
that in order to supply the much needed
farm labOrers or wage earners, the board
exert every effort in having the United
States furnish legislation to provide for
the establishment of State. immigration
agencies at Ellis Island, so as TO give
our people seeking laborers, better ac-
cess to this source OF supply, and that
this department establish agencies
abroad in those countries from which
the most desirable immigrants are to be
obtained. That those foreign agents be
supplied with such literature as would
be useful in securing the migration of de-
sirable people TO Virginia, and that such
literature be printed in the language OF
the country where it is TO be used" The

Gov. MONTAGUE WRITES OF
UNDERSTANDING CLAUSE

Gov. A. J. Montague, of Virginia, in a
letter received by the Constitutional
Amendment Committee, commented on
the operation in Virginia of the "under-
standing clause" of that Constitution
which clause, it is claimed, is identical
with the one in the pending Maryland
amendment, as follows:
"This provision OF our Constitution was
operative between July 10, 1902, and
January /, 1904, during which time the
negro vote was quite largely eliminated.
The effects of this elimination have, of
course, been very beneficial to our people,
and we look for much greater advantages
as time progresses. The elimination of
this vote was necessary to insure fair
elections in our State and to bring about
a general toning up OF the ethics of our
politics, an end greatly promoted by our
new Constitution. Baltimore Sun.

Without Hearing Unfit offieeholders
Who They Know Are Guilty Of Mis-
conduct.
Washington. Oct. 1S. - An amend
mont to the civil service rules, sweep
ing and comprehensive in It's charac-
ter. was authorized by President
Roosevelt
Hereafter cabinet officer will have
the power TO remove summarily ana
without hearing any civil service en-
ploye in his department. who. to the
personal knowledge OF the head OF the
department. has been guilty OF miscon-
duct or who is inefficient in the per
Torrance OF his duties.
Bv the terms of the amendment the
cabinet officer must have personal
knowledge OF the misconduct or In
efficiency Of the emplOye whom he
proposes 10 discharge. With this per
sonal knowledge the power Of the head
of the department Is absolute.
The amendment authorized Is one
of the most important and farreach'
ing made to the civil service rules In
many years. II confers upon cabinet
officers practically unlimited power as
to the personnel Of their departments.
The amendment is made to rulel2
section Q which provides that the ap
pointing officer in the executive civil
service shall report in detail to the
civil service commission all changes
in their department as soon as made
and the reasons for making them
Heretofore. in every case OF the re
moval of a civil service employe
charges had to be filed against the
person whom It was proposed TO re
move. and the employe was given
time in which TO meet the charges
with such defense as he might have
TO make.
Under the authorized amendment
such a proceeding will not be neces
sary. a head of a department may dis
charge an employe for misconduct OF
lneniclency. with the simple statement
TO the civil service commission that
the misconduct or ineficiency is a sub
feet OF his personal observation. The
discharged employe will have no re
course
1t is said that the amendment was
made at the instance Of members OF
the cabinet. who hold that under the
present construction OF the civil ser
vice rules. they often are unable e
deal properly with cases OF miscon
duct and ineficlency OF which they are
personally cognizant Assurance Is
given that the amendment was moi
made TO apply to any particular case
now pending. It's purpose, as stated
Is TO improve the discipline OF the de
partmental forces.
The amendment was discussed b,
the cabinet at its meeting and was ap
proved unanimously
