The spirit Of revolt Is spreading. The
long suffering mules Of Wales are In mu-
tiny. The story, as 1t comes from New
castle, Pa, runs thus:
Local Welsh folks who have Just returned from
visiting their native land say tho great religious
revival that has been sweeping over that country

for the mules refuse haul tho coal from the pits
Formerly the miners and drivers urged the
mules 70 their best efforts by liberal use Of profanity,

boodcurdlng oaths.
Since tho revival In Wales the minors refuse
TO swear at tho mules. and the animals are so be-
wildered they don't know what's expected OF them.
SO they stand still and when tho lash L. laid on

very we'll this morning. 1t win be re-

Complaints OF the Civil Service
Board,

Commissioner McADoo Of the Police
Department must make promotions to
the rank of captain from an old eligible
list of sergeants, on which are the names
of several men whom he has no desire
to promote, and which does not carry the
names Of a number of men whose pro-
motion he believes would add to the eff
cheney of the department. With bound
hands he must accept the responsibility
for the conduct of his department, while
the Municipal Civil Service Commission
manages its details. The Commissioner
takes the blame that results from the
operation of wooden and unelastio sys-
TEN in which he has no voice. Who will
criticize him if he sees something besides
perfection in the civil service laws and
regulations?
DR.. JOHN Fl. PRYOR, who has resigned
from the office Of resident physician in
the State Hospital for tuberculosis, has
had experiences with the State Civil
Service Board to match those Of Com
missioner MCADoo with the municipal
organization. In giving the reasons for
his resignation, DR.. PRYOR said:
am disgusted-and measure my words when
say disgused-with tho results OF tho civil service
as administered in this State. The Civil Service
Commission, rather Its clerks seems able 10 fur
nish mo with everything do not want and nothing
do want In tho way Of assistants. A superin-
tendent Is held responsible for the entire manage
ment OF his institution. but all his employees have
to do Is to pass an examination which. far Il
can show their fitness for tho positions they hold
Is a complete farce. do not hesitate In aging
that tho time is past when superintendent OF q
State institution in New York State feel that
the direction of the institution Is In reality in his
hands, and tho time Is approaching rapidly when
no physician of any professional standing will
accept a position In a State institution"
Neither Mr.. McADoo nor DR.. PRYOR is
"pothouse politician, nor does either
of them wish to "debauch the public
service" Yet neither is satisfied with
the civil service laws and regulations as
they are now enforced. Only recently
the Secretary of the Treasury, an Off
cial of some importance and dignity in
the Federal Government, discovered that
he was incompetent to select the coach
man who was to drive him about. 1t is,
of course, universally admitted now
that in the Chinese system are wrapped
up Life, Liberty and the Pursuit Of Hap
piness. No one would dare to-day to
dispute this, but at times the wrapper
must become little irksome for those
entwined with it's red tape

Nor is it 10 be supposed fbr moment
that Mr.. TAFT, whose off cial time is

merely that he may have the pleasure OF

Tho other Side OF tho Police.

1t was not the rich and generous city
of New York that provided food for the
eight pitiful wrecks Of humanity who
were arrested in Madison Square Sunday
morning. AS Migrants they were an
annoyance to the neighborhood. AS
Migrants they were arrested, and, be-
cause the courts were closed. for nearly
twenty four hours they were held prison.
ers awaiting hearing.
The police were not to blame because
the courts were closed. Neither were
they at fault because no provision is
made for feeding prisoners detained in
police stations. Such ia the system, and
the police were under no obligation to
contribute from their own pockets a
fund for food. This they did, however.
Matron, doorman, patrolman their
pockets they went to relieve distress for
which the taxpayers could we'll afford to
make provision.
The same tale is told OF the policemen
into whose station young woman was
brought starving. The food that "she
ate ravenously" was paid for out Of no
fund and by no department OF the NUM-
cipal government, but by the private
generosity Of the men Of blue coats and
brass buttons. These are the cases the
public hears Of. Many are the Incl
dents in every way similar OF which
nothing is ever recorded.
In the middle Of tn e town there was a
hot weather riot, little exhibition OF
race hatred, with its accompaniment of
unpleasant bullets, flying stones and
broken heads. A rioter, crazed with
bad drink and sheltered in a crowded
