service commission is of timely interest
to officeholders in the service of the
state, and to all officeseekers. 1t con-
tains summary of the laws as to poll
tical assessments, political service,
political recommendations and official
influence. Wisconsin has pretty good
civil service law and the state COM
mission has sought to apply its terms
in a spirit that would make it most
efficacious. Most of the positions in
the state service are open to all by
competitive examination. No political
pull is necessary, and it is expressly
provided in the law that political rec
concentrations given with the consent
of applicants shall be sufficient cause
for rejecting the application. Political
assessments are expressly prohibited
The law also provides that mo officer,
agent, clerk or employee, shall directly
or indirectly solicit or receive political
service, whether voluntary or involun-
tary, for any political purpose, from
any officer, agent, clerk or employee OF
the state. Candidates for public of
fee and persons seeking appointment
at the hands of any public officer vii
do well to provide themselves with {

formation.

President Roosevelt is reported to
have told one of his callers last week
that he is sorry he ever made that
promise to not accept another term in
office. The exact words ascribed to
him are: If ] could have forseen how
things were going 20 frame up, Iwould
never have made that election night
pledge. and never would have reiteg-
ated il three months ago. by this it
is mtimated the president feels that
congress is taking advantage Of his
position, and knowing that he has less
than year to serve and is pledged to
not run again, there is an inclination
to oppose and antagonize his plans and
suggestions

Waits Who Have Become Famous.

The list of waits who have become
famous and honored their foster-par-

long one. 1t includes Sir Henry Stan
ley, Queen Catherine the Good, Alex
ander Hamilton, Rosa Bonheur, Edgar
Allen Poe, Rachel Leonardo da Vinci,
and dates back as far as Moses. All
these were homeless children children
who if left to their fate would uhdoubt-

stead they have lived to add glory ia
their names and have contributed to
the knowledge of the world at large
through the fruits of their genius.
