CIVIL SERVICE REFORM
Secretary Bonaparte and Gov. Hughes
 at National League Meeting.

Buffalo, N. Y, Nov. 7,-The twenty seventh annual meeting of the National. Civil Service Reform league began here to-day, and many persons prominently identified with the movement for civil service reform in all parts of the eoun- try addressed the afternoon session. To- night Governor Charles E. Hughes, and Charles J. Bonaparte, attorney general of the United States made the principal addresses. The annual report of the National council, read by Chairman Richard Henry Dana, of Boston, men, tioned politicians by name and con- demned what he termed were their short comings. MT. Dana spoke of the impropriety of party activity of em- ployers in the competition classified service and in this connection the cases of Collin H. Woodward, deputy sur veyor of the Port of New York; c. Wesley Thomas, collector of Philadel- phia, and Archie Sanders, collector at Rochester are mentioned.
 Secretary Bonaparte, in his address, drew parallel between the military and naval system of advancement on merit and that of the civil arm of the government where political preferment usually has more weight than qualifi- cation for office.
 Governor Hughes in the course of his remarks said: Fundamentally we need two things, first untrammeled express sion of the people on the choice of their officers who administer, and in the choice of our legislators who make our laws. The second thing we need is eff | Ef1cieney-the highest degree of efficiency in the management of the business of the state"

They rep resented that many of the children who needed teaching worst were sent home from school on account of pliy- sical conditions and that there was no one there to care for them or help them, so that they lost much time, whereas if there was anyone who could do just what was needed for them, often & very simple matter, if one but knew, they would not lose their valuable time.

Washington, D. c., June 2s.--Com-
missioner of Corporations Herbert
Knox Smith today received from Pres
ident Roosevelt letter transmitting
for his consideration a complaint Of
the Washington Central Labor Unions
that the telegraph Companies of the
United States have formed a combin-
alton in restraint of trade, violation
of The Sherman antitrust law
Commissioner Smith refused to dis
cuss the matter for publication, but
indicated that he would comply with
the Presidents request to make full
investigation of the charges.
From the headquarters Of the labor
union it was learned that the Western
Union and Postal Companies are the
chief offenders, but that other smaller
companies would be implicated and
that some of the telephone concerns.
might also come under the probe.
1t is believed here that the inves-
tigation is a result of the telegrarhers

jackson. Miss, June 2S.-One thing
that has struck the average candidate
for State Office most favorably is
that fact that the county executive
committees in the different counties
have been very considerate of the
State candidates in the matter Of
charges for getting on the State ticket.
In number Of counties the candidates
have not had to pay a cent to get their
names on the ticket, while in others
the charge has been so cents. Most
of the counties have charged the State
candidates one dollar for this service.
This is a reasonable charge and no
one can possibly have any kick on it.
This is quite change from former
years. In other years there have been
loud complaints in regard to the
steepness of the charge on State cam
didates, some counties going on the
idea apparently that all candidates
running for public office in Mississippi
were multi-millionaires who had more
money than they knew what to do
with. One county came forward four
years ago with charge of $25 and
when the candidates began to howl
and threaten to leave their names off
the ticket, charge of $40 was made
and the candidates paid this with no
good grace. 1t has been suggested
and with good deal Of wisdom that
the printing of the. ballots be left to
the State committee. 1t is pointed
out that blank space on the ballot
large enough to hold all the county
and district officers could be left and
the printed ballots sent to the differ
ent counties with the names of the
state candidates on them and all that
the county committees would have to
do would be to put on the names of
the county candidates. Some reform
of this sort may be proposed at the
next legislature in the shape Of an
amendment to the primary election
law. ss,3
