In Connection With Public
Service Appointments.
GET WHAT THEY WANT
Everything Comes to American
People Sooner or Later.
And Generally Sooner Says At
tOrney General Bonaparte.

Buffalo. N. z, Nov. s.-The Twenty
seventh annual convention of the Ma
t1onal Civil Service Reform league has
begun here. Last nights session of the
council was addressed by Governor
Charles S. Hughes and Charles ].
Bonaparte, attorney general of the
United States. The annual report of
the council was read by Chairman
Richard Henry Dana of Boston. The
report mentioned politicians by name
and condemned their alleged shortcom-
ings. The report said in part:
For the first time in number OF
years we have no extension of the civil
service rules in the national govern
ment to record nor, on the other hand.
has any class of employees been with
drawn.
I'm regard to the suppression of un-
due political activity among govern
ment employees, we note two milestoues
as We progress. One is the policy
eStaohshed that no government em-
CLASSIFIED service shall at the same time
hold an office in party organization
or allow his political work to interfere
with his official duties. The other is
the executive order giving the com
mlttee power to investigate causes OF
undue political activity of employees In
the competitive classified service.
tiv1ty is permitted"
The report highly commends the
precedent established by President
Roosevelt in the appointment of a post
master for New York city. Instead
OF making it a political plum the as
sistant postmaster was promoted to the
head of the great New York postoffice.
Why not promote some one trained in
the department" ?"
1t declares the present methods are
responsible for the worst postal de-
partment of any highly civilized coun-
try in the world"
The report sounds a note of warning
against sentimental or charitable
grounds being considered in making
appointments. ~
1--WE have felt obliged to say this
much about, the charity cases." 1t
adds. especially as the president a
constant friend of reform, has put
himself on record as favoring them.
provided there is no trace of political
influence in the clauses. Roosevelt ex-
pressed his urgent wish to diminish the
number of special exemptions asked
for" it continues, but the request has
been more honored in the breach than
in the observance"
Among the reports read was one on
Denver by Henry Van Klerk.
Secretary Bonaparte drew a 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 qualification for office.
You must teach the American peo-
ple," said he, "to want an executive
public service, federal, state and mu-
nicipal, chosen for fitness only, and de-
voted only to its proper public work
When you have fulfilled this duty
when the American people has been
taught to want such a service to put UP
with none other, then the American
people will have such a service; for in
our country the people always get,
sooner or later and rather sooner than
later, what it really wants"

Opens in Nashville With Dele
gates From Every State.
A sTIRRINGi ADDRESS
Delivered by the President
Mrs. Lillian n. M. Stevens.
Points Out the, Many Gains
Made by Prohibition.

Nashville, Tenn. Nov. S.-The
thirty-fourth annual convention of the
National Women's Christian Temper
ance union was called to order here
this morning in the First Presby-
terian church. by its president, Mrs
Lillian N. M. Stevens of Portland, Me-
Between five and six hundred dele
gates were in their seats when the
president raped for order. They are
here from every state in the union
several colored women being among
the number. The last w. G. T. U. con-
vention held in Nashville was 20 years
ago this month.
After an organization, and appoint
ment of committees, the president de-
lfvered her annual address, which was
in part as follows:
Two decades ago, we came here,
actuated by the same spirit, inspired
by the same hopes, upheld by the
same faith which are ours today.
Can we not take for this conven-
ton the same motto that Frances E.
Willard gave to the convention of
1887: There is nothing inexorcisabIe
but love. Her ministrations in years
gone by had much to do with weaken
ing the foundations of the liquor pow
er and today we rejoice that it can not
be said as of yore, King Alcohol is en-
IhrOned In the realms OF KING Cot
tom.
Each triumph over the liquor
traffic gained in the southland is of
national value and the temperance
victories in Tennessee have gladdened
the hearts of good men and women
everywhere.
"Georgia's struggle, Georgia's
achievement will help Massachusetts.
Illinois, California and all other
license states to break away from the
bondage of the Iega1ized liquor traffic.
"Oklahoma's triumph is of greater
import than we can easily compre-
hend. All hail to the new state.
'sThe lawless, defiant resistance of
the liquor trade in Maine, Kansas and
North Dakota to an unusually great
degree has been overcome. Maine still
remains the most conspicuous ex-
ponent for the liqInor men and their
pathizers, and undoubtedly more
false statements are made in the en-
deavor to show that prohibition there
is a failure than are made i'm connec-
ton with any other subject in any
locality on the face of the globe.
Following the delivery of the ad-
dress and evangelistic hour was held,
presided over by Miss Elizabeth w.
Greenwood, national evangelist super
intendent.
The session this afternoon was de-
voted principally to the hearing of
committee reports and reports of the
corresponding secretary and treasurer.
The last reports were of a highly en-
couraging nature, and show the union
to be in a most f1ourishing condition.

DENIED JURY. TRIAL.
Members OF Iron MoIders Union In
Suit With Employees.

Chicago, Nov. 8-Members of the Iron
Molders' Union of America were denied
a jury trial by Judge Barnes in the
superior court. The case is one involv-
ing long standing controversy between
the Employers association and the I'm
ion.
The association, representing nine
large local firms, Is seeking to have
made permanent an Injunction granted
in September, 1906, restraining the
members of the Moiders' union from in
terfering with the business of the pc
titioners. The association also asks the
court to punish IL officers of the union
for contempt of court for alleged pick
citing.

HE NEVER WALKED.
Freak That Refused $500 Week Is
Dead.

Norwalk. Conn. Nov. S.-John
Harding. to whom p. T. Barnum of
fered $500 a week to exhibit himself,
is dead here. Harding's pride would
never permit him to place himself on
show and so while he might have
amassed a considerable fortune, he
died poor.
Harding was 43 years old, but he
was no bigger than a two-year-old
baby. His arms and legs were gnarled
and twisted and from the moment of
his birth they were in unceasiig mo-
ton. He never walked, he never even
creeped.
Nevertheless he had fine brain and
a wonderful memory. He taught him
self to read and write and read good
books constantly.

Promise of Good Conditions for the

Today has been another day of the
blissful autumn weather which has
been thrust upon Topeka for the past
week. The weather during the past

that even the most chronic GROWERS
