The degree of civil service reform
enjoyed in the United States dates
from tho administration Of President
G. A. Arthur, and was carried into ef-
feet by almost unanimous vote of con-
gress, in. January, 1883.
The reform was at first limited to
Il few classes; but rs the benefits Of
the system developed, it was gradually
enlarged until qt this present date,
1907, it includes nearly every branch
Of government services.

The Herald and News suggested
that the old court house be turned ov-
cr to the city for public library
on condition that the building be rem
ovated and II square be built around
it and kept in good condition. What
do the people think Of this plan and
what have the ladies to say Of il.
With library building like this wc
could go to work then in Il systematic
way and very soon have one of the
best libraries in the state. We want
to see the people unanimous on this
proposition. Another place should be
secured for wagon yard, for by us-
ing the space around the court house
the streets are sometimes blocked so
one cannot pass through.
