IN A POLITICAL WAY.
Senate and House Favor R. Scott zimmerman
For Superior Court Judge.

The Democrats, says the Halle
ton Sentinel, will not hold their con.
vention until late in the summer,
time and place to be fixed by the
state committee at the annual meet
ing on April I9. Special interest Is
attached because the nominee for
Superior court judge is certain of
election. No voter may vote for
more than three Superior court
judges when four are to be elected,
and this being the number this year
assures the election of one Demo.
crat. Judge Peter P. Smith of
Scranton, present Democratic mem
Der of the court, would like to sue
ceed himself. The younger element
favors a younger and more vigorous
man, and unless Colonel Guffey of
Pittsburg issues orders for the re-
nomination of the old judge he may
be put aside. Representative R.
Scott zimmerman of Danville, the
Democratic floor leader in the House
is still the choice of Senate and House
colleagues, and should he fail to re-
ceive the nomination, he will be a
candidate in the Columbia Montour
district to succeed Judge Little OF
Bloomsbury, whose commission eX-
pires in January, 1909.

FOR COUNTY COMMISSIONER,
ELISHA RINGROSE
To Regulate Sale OF Liquor in Clubs.

Senator Herbst, of Berks county,
introduced in the Senate last week
. bill which, If it becomes a law,
will affect every club, society, asso-
citation in the State that dispenses
Intoxicating liquors to its members
or others. The bill makes it unlaw-
full for any such associations to pos.
sess or dispense liquors to members
or others in exchange for money,
checks or any other device or to be
paid for out of fund or the treas.
ury of the organization.
All incorporated clubs, societies or
associations having a membership
Of not less than fifty who collectively
contribute dnes of not less than
$50 year must take out a regular
retail liquor license, the license to
be granted upon application to the
County Treasurer. No license shall
be granted to any club incorporated
after June I. 1905 unless the char
ter specifically states that liquor is
to be dispensed.
No claims, accounts or other debts
shall be collectible by law for furn-
ishing liquors to clubs not author
lied to sell the same. Violators of
the pronosed act shall be deemed
guilty of being public nuisance
and liable to a maximum fine of
$500 or Imprisonment of ninety days
or both.
Mr.. Herbst also introduced bill
making it unlawful for courts, act
ing upon any application for retail
liquor license, toconsider and hear
evidence upon auy remonstrance up.
on the ground that the applicant has
williully or habitually neglected or
refused to pay bills contracted by
him in his business within two
years preceding the application for
license.
An anti-treating bill was intro
duced in the House by Mr.. Hitch
cock of Tioga. The bill prohibits
The "gratuitous furnishing ofvarious
spirituous, malt or brewed liquors
u cider at any licensed hotel, restau-
rant or other place kept for the sale
Of such liquors.

WHICH tne freSluent Is Wnen he acts
on the advice Of incompetents.
Secretary Hay was i'll at the time
the San DOMINICAN protocol was
concluded and Secretary Loomis
was acting Secretary of State"
Mr.. Locmis asserted that there was
no Intention of submitting the pro.
tocol to the Senate for ratification
and that the United States would
take possession of all San DOMINICAN
ports without consulting Congress.
The President did not confirm or
deny this statement for the reason,
perhaps, that he did not discuss the
subject at all, and as soou as Secre-
tary Hay had recovered sufficiently
to resume his duties he announced
that it had always been the inten-
tion of the Administration to nego.
tiate treaty and submit it to the
Senate. Numerous changes were
cabled to San Domingo which
were incorporated in treaty which
has now reached Washington and
been submitted to the Senate. 1t
is too early to make predictions re-
garding the Senate's action OH this
treaty, as it has not been read to
that body, having been referred
Immediately to the committee on
Foreign Relations. In a general
way. however, it may be said that
Republicans seem to approve the
principle they understand to be in
volved i'll the treaty and that Demo.
Gratis, are inclined to regard it as of
doubtful propriety.
**A
Speaker Cannon has, he believes,
caught the Senate in an error and
has determined to take advantage
of the accident to humiliate the up
per chamber, if possible. The Sen
ate amended the Agricultural ap-
preparation bill by adding a clause
declaring that the drawback pro-
vision of the Dingley Act shall not
be construed to apply to flour made !
of imported wheat. This, the
House declares to be revenue legis-
lation which, under the constitu-
tion, must originate in the lower
chamber. OF course it would have |
been easy to reject the amendment |
in conference but that would not |
have humiliated the Senate, there
fore the House will adopt resolu-
ton informing the Senate that it !
refuses to consider the Agricultural.
bill until the upper chamber has
withdrawn the tariff amendment.
1t is probable that the Minneapolis |
millers, whose privileges were cur
tailed for the benefit of the farmers
by the amendment, had something
to do with the Speakers vindic-
ativeness, although he always has
enough and to spare where the
Senate is concerned. Under ordi-
nary circumstances the action of
the House would be regarded as of |
little Importance and as pusillani- |
nous rather than otherwise, but
with "wars and rumors Of wars" be-
tween the Senate and the Execu-
tive, with relations strained be-
tween tie Senate and the House
and with every member of Congress
carrying chip on his shoulder, it
merely serves to accentuate the
sensitiveness and strain the rela-
tions of everyone concerned in the
national government.

TIE MERIT SYSTEM.

A bill to Regulate and Improve
the Civil Service OF the Common
wealth OF Pennsylvania and of the
Cities and Counties thereof" has
been introduced into the State Sen.
ate by Senator John NJ. Goehring
Of ALLEGHENY and in the House by
Representative Francies, of the same
county The enactment of this bill
will secure the adoption ofthe "mer-
it, or competitive" system of max
ing appointments to the public ser
vice of this State and its sub divis-
ions The bill was prepared by the
State Civil Service Reform Associa.
ton, non-partisan organization.
What does the Merit System of
Appointments mean? 1t comprises
three essential features in which it
differs from the present Spoils Sys-
tenn. First-The Merit System pro-
vides plan under which appoint
merits to public Offices Except those
filled by the election of the people,
are based upon the fitness, ascer-
tanned in open competitive examina-
tons or tests, of the applicant to
perform the duties of the position.
Under the Spoils System the recon-
mendation of the Ward Boss" as
to mans ability to "get out the
vote" is often the sole test of his
ability to serve the pnblic. Second
The Merit System provides that
the higher places in the public ser.
vice are to be filled by promotions
founded npon proved efficiency and
ability. Under the Spoils System
promotions are based upon pull"
secured by political services for some
faction of party or some petty boss.
Third Under the Spoils System
removals are made upon the secret
decree Of some party magnate,
caused often by personal jealousy
or animosity. Under the Merit Sys-
tenn an employee of the Government
is secure in his office, without re.
gard to his political affiliations. Just
as he proves efficient and capable.
Removals are allowed only for Just
cause, which does not include poll
tical or religious reasons.
Which sjs'em is more democratic
and more efficientl Which system
would any man adopt in conducting
his own business2 No one would
have the slightest hesitation in an
swering "The Merit System"
Under the Spoils System the tax.
payers furnish the funds to provide
salaries f or non-competent Office
holders who are being "taken care
of by the Organization" because
ofpast political work. For their own
protection these taxpayers should
demand an honest and efici ent ad.
ministration of public office. This
can only be secured by the passage
of an effective Civil Service Reform
Law.
Nowhere has the doctrine "To
the victors belong the spoils," been
carried to the extent to which it
has in this State and its cities. No.
where has there been such hagrant
use of public Office as a reward for
political services. Nowhere has the
efficiency of the public service sunk
to such point as in the cities of
Pennsylvania.
Every citizen. irrespective of
party, should urge his Senator and
Representatives to advocate and
vote for the "Act to Regulate and
Improve the Civil Service" The
passage of this bill will be strik-
ing victory for the cause of honest
non-partisan administration of pub
lie offices.

Appendicitis has been a sort of
pet disease now for several years .
There was certain exclusiveness
about it. Only onr "best people"
had 1t and only the high priced and
naughty surgeons were called in
when the alarming symptoms de
veloped. Now a doctor has risen
up in England and not only takes
away what pleasure one may have
had in the affliction but has also
spoken in way to humble our
pride He tells us that appendicitis
is largely dine to the plebeian fact
that we fail to masticate our food to
the proper extent.

Rabbits Are Starving.

The bark on many trees is being
chewed off, which would indicate
that rabbits are suffering from the
rigid winter weather. The deep
snow has covered everything in the
woodsk with the exception of the
trees and tall bushes and they can
not get their ordinary food. People
residing on the outskirts of towns
or near woodland say that the bun
nies can be seen daily searching
for food.
