LOW TO JACKSON.
Says His dissertation Did Not Single
Out Hearst for attack.

Seth Low, chairman OF the Association TO Pre-
vent Corrupt Practices al Elections. a thoroughly
non partisan Organization, yesterday sent TO At
torney General Jackson letter calling attention
10 inexact statements made by Mr. Jackson with
references the proposed investigation the cleo
ton expenses OF William r. Hearst. The letter Is
follows:
have noticed IN this mornings papers the
formal statement issued by yoa in connection with
Davis the representative OF the Attorney Cen
eral in connection with certain proceedings under

that you should be, for under such CIRCUMSTANCES
The entire responsbiiity for tie inquiry deyolves

second-The inquiry In be undertaken by your

people OF the state. believe that an inquiry
as rigid as possible and as comprehensive as posi-,
bic would be highly seryieeablo to the cause OF

corresponding proceedings against senator 6ates
of the Oneida-Madison District, against the Repuo-
hcan County COMMITTEES md others OF CHnloI @
County. and against the Republican County Com

With these facts before you think You viii he

Sir In the United States, least patriotic senti-
ment has proven the most reliable national asset
in vital crises; at such times patriotic fervor has
centred around the flag and the national anthem
America" although the latter has lacked perfec-
uon by virtually limiting its expression solely to
Hueal descendants OF the founders OF the govern
ment. whereas a preponderating multitude OF de-
votedly patriotic present day citizens their
peers in every other good quality of citizenship.

lover OF every American ideal while my mother 8
ancestors landed I'm Salem in parents trac-
ing ancestry to martyrs for freedom. Has my love

America which seems TO 10 augment its
value as the patriotic psalm which all Americans
may harmoniously sing in completes accord:

IFrom The Tribune Bureau. ]


washington, Jan. 4-President Roosevelt to-
day expressed his enthusiastic approval Of
archaeological research to a party of scientists
whom he received at the White House. He as
sured them that political callers were not the
only ones welcomed at the home of the Presi-
aeh'' ana paid his callers a high compliment
lor the indefatigable work they are doing for
the cause or history and learning. The Presi-
dents greetings were expressed to the members
OF the Archaeological Institute of America and
the Pathological Society, who are holding a con-
vention at the Capital. The President spoke
follows:
1t is very real pleasure to greet you here in

the idea that at the White House men engaged

Just ssuch associations as this. There is not any
oiaI OF rne United states not making sufii-
Clehl material progress That We can be GER
tain to do. What'is TO be guarded against by
our people. what our people have to guard
against in themselves. is that lest in the desire
for material progress we may forget certain
things OF the soul and the mind for the lack
or which. in nation. as in an individual. 40
material progress can atone. =
IL is a fine thing TO have body of scholars

see more and more in colleges and uEiver-

instance. take in your line. the work that
can only be done by men and women trained in

MERIT SYSTEM RECOMMENDED.

From The Newark Evening News.
1t is to be noted with much satisfaction that
Mayor Gnichtel. OF Trenton, comes out boldly and
clearly In favor of the application Of Civil Service
rules to all municipal departments, excepting Of
fees whose incumbents elected by the people,
and a few important heads. In his annual meg
sage to the Trenton Common Council he strongly
advocated the adoption of such rules and con-
demned the methods now in use. which throw de-
serving and capable clerks out of employment
without warrant sufficient reason.
Civil Service will be an issue before the incoming
Legislature. and the fact that -Trentons Mayor
has advocated il will afford much encourag cement
to those who believe that there should he no
'shoils' I'm republic. The national government
could not and would not go back 10 the systenl
that prevailed twenty five years ago II has had
vastly better work in every department since the
Civil Service law went into effect.
Nothing keeps this state and all its municipalities
from adopting the rules which the government has
found so satisfactory and advantageous but the
designs OF politicians aud their unwillingness to
abandon the party spoils system II once this
venerable but vicious scheme for handing out Of
fees rewards 10 ward workers and heelers Is
destroyed. bosses and machines will lose much OF
their power and the public will be better served
