The Army OF Civil Servants.

The census bureau reports that Uncle
Sam has 286, 902 employees in the civil
service of the government, a roll far
greater than that of the army and
navy combined. More than half of the
numbers were required to pass COM
peitive examinations to secure appoint
ments. Great strides have been made
during the twenty years that this
method of selecting men and women to
DO the routine work of the various de-
partments of the national government
has been in operation.
Aside from the postmasters and in
some cases the laborers and mechanics,
who number all told about 100, 0O0,
political influence counts for nothing IN
the appointment, retention or promo
ton of the national employee The
work Of the government is growing
complicated as well as extensive, and
the question of fitness is highly impor-
tant. Business cannot wait for the
training of an army of recruits every
four years.

Give Us a Rest.

Can prosperity be manufactured to
order. Some st. Louis people seem to
think so andlhave therefore organized
the National Prosperity Association. "
1t is much to DE doubted, though. from
their motto if they feel hopeful of re-
suits for "Give US rest and sunshine"
indicates that tired feeling that has
reduced the volume Of business after
the Republican debauch OF the last few
years. Those members of the Pros
perity Association, who are Republi-
cans, are perhaps tired of Teddy and
undoubtedly they are tired of the ex-
actions of the fairfield trusts and cor
porations just az Democrats are. But
just now, when Congressman are being
nominated who have refused to ref -rm
the tariff, is no time to take a rest.
From now until election day is time
for work The standpat cry OF give
US a rest is just what produced the
panic and the continuing business de-
preston. Eternal vigilance, with but
little rest, is the price of prosperity.

"The Business Mans Party. "

Representatiy Tawney. of Mime
sofa. chairman of the committee on APP
preparation, recently addressed the
House of Representatives in these
words: with deficit of sixty or
sixty-five millions at the close of the
present fiscal year, and with a pro: :
pect of deficit of $50 millions at tire
end of the next fiscal year. our entire
surplus in the treasury threatens to be
wiped out. and it is almost certain that
an issue of certificates of Indebtedness
will be necessary to meet our ohliga-
tons With this unpleasant pre- spcet
this Congress is appropr;ating more
money than AIRY of its predecessors.
and it is time for the members OF this
body TO stoo and reflect what we are
coming ~.
Yet they tell US that the Republican
party is the business mans party !"

who's WhO?"

The Kansas City Journal mas an ed
itorial denying that money is being
used to prevent Mr.. Bryan's nomina-
tion. 1t says "Who would spend money
to defeat Bryan's nomination? Ger
tiainly not the trusts or railroads." 1t
is unfortunate for the Journal that this
editorial came out just about the time
when Ter. Ryan was admitting upon
the witness stand that the Metropol-
itan Street Railway company, of New
York, contributed half a million to
politics in 1900 and that part of it
was used in the effort to prevent Mr..
Bryan's nomination that year. The
Journal says that the trusts and rail-
roads are not against Mr.. Bryan's NOM
ination, and yet the fact that Mr.. Ryan
and the Journal are opposed to Mr..
Bry ans nomination is a complete
anwscr to the Journals own state
ment.

The Darkey Vote.

The dear darkies are going to fight
Taft and Teddy to a finish. In re-
cent document presented Speaker Can
non, Vice-President Fairbanks. Sena-
tor Foraker and other prominent Re-
publicans, the allied negro societies of
the United States said that they H.
tended to do three things:
ITO arouse the women of the race
to the necessity of defeating Taft and
Roosevelt.
"To use the churches to which col
ored people belong and their pastors to
the same end.
ITO hold public meetings throughout
the United States to protest against
the nomination of Taft or Roosevelt. 4"
And just think of that. 1t looks as
if Mr.. Hearst had a hand in this bust
ness. He will open the doors of the
Independence League to the dear dar-
kies. and scoop a million votes which
were cast for Teddy in 1904.

Roosevelt Fears Johnson.

President Roosevelt and the Repub-
lican managers are said to be much
perturbed over the growth of the boom
for Governor johnson as the Demo-
cratic candidate for President. To a
White House caller, the President, is
reported by the Brooklyn Eagle, as
submitting a number of searching
questions regarding the probability of
the nomination of Gov. johnson He
has all along contended that Taft could
easily defeat Mr.. Bryan. says the
Eagle. "but is not so sure that Taft
can put Johnson out of the running"

A Divided House.

The two Republican factions in Con-
gress are divided between Roosevelt
and anti-Roosevelt. with the latter
holding control. both through the
organization and by numbers. The
Cannon machine intends to pass only
such legislation as the leaders are COM
PEELED TO. but the constant prodding by
the President has so scared the mem
bres from the close and doubtful dis
trict, that enough of them may break
away from the macnine program and
unite with the Democrats to pass some
reform measures.

DOCTORS MISTAKES

Are said often to be buried six feet under

their family physicians, suffering, as they

heart disease, another from liver or kid

Bamberg is good town or course,
but are you doing your part to make
1t a more desirable place to live and
do business? Are you showing by
your actions that you are interested
in the public welfare and the good of
the town generally-morally, social
", and financially? If the town pros
pers so will every individual in it, no
matter whether their interests here
be great or small, and each of us who
live here have duty to perform in
making Bamberg the very best town
possible. Do you ever take any in
terest in enterprises which will help
the town or other movements for the
general good, or do you mind your
own little interests and never think
Of whether the town is growing? We
trust that all of our citizens will de-
velop a lively interest in all public
matters, for in this way only will the
town grow and prosper. There are
certain public duties which we all
must perform if we would have our
town develop as it should.

The practice of promiscuous shoot

too common. We trust the police will
be able to capture the offenders, and
they should be severely dealt with.

CHICAGO SWEPT BY STORM.
Much Damage Caused in the City and
 Vicinity by Wind and Rain.

Chicago, May s.--One man was killed, many pedestrians were put in peril by falling live wires and others were blown down and injured during terrific wind and rain storm which prevailed Thursday.
 In the outlying parts of the city windows were broken. wires carried away and trees blown down. The weather bureau reported the winds maximum velocity at 40 miles, but along the lake shore its force was much greater. John Lucas, 65 years old. was blown down several times by the wind at Seventy-fifth and Halstead streets. He died of heart disease superinduced by this rough treatment Wires of the fire alarm and police telegraph system were badly crippled and telephone communication with the life saving station at the mouth of the Chicago river was lost.
 1t was reported from the water work cribs in the lake that the sea running Thursday was the highest in several years. Only two steamers put out from this port Thursday and both came back for safety.

Chicago. May S.-The Standard oil company of Indiana Thursday com menced a new fight to escape from the payment of the fine of s29,- 24O,000, levied against 1t by Judge Landis of the federal district court. when it's attorneys appeared before the United States circuit court of ap- peals to argue the appeal from the judgment of the lower court. John s. Miller argued that reversal should be granted because, he said. the oil company did not know that 1t was using illegal rates, and that each train load of the company's product should have been taken as the basis of a shipment instead of each car as charg- ed in the indictment.

WASHINGTON NOTES
SEVERAL ITEMS OF CURRENT IN TEREsT FROM THE MA
 TIoNAL CAPITAL.
THE SENATE SEEKS SOME INFORMATION
Adopts Resolution Calling for Facts About Inforcement of Commodity Clause of Railroad Rate Law-For- aker Would See Presidents Letter Important Proceeding Instituted.

Washington, May 7.-Upon motion of Senator Foraker the senate Wednes- day adopted a resolution calling upon the interstate commerce commission to inform the senate whether the com modity clause of the railroad rate law which went into effect May 1 is being inforced, and whether, If it Is not, the failure to inforce is due to an agree ment between the railroad companies and the authorities that the companies shall have immunity from punishment. The resolution was discussed at con siderable length and was amended in minor particulars before 1t was adopt ed. Responding to a suggestion from Senator Bacon that the resolution ap- parently was very significant, Mir. For aker said that he simply desired the facts for use In any subsequent dis cussion of the subject. He agreed with MT. Bacon that no one in an executive office had authority to sus- pend the operation of law.
 Senator Foraker also alluded to a T6UDTI lIdL CcudJOI w nlidlu hiuCn Smith had received from the president letter in which the latter had an- nounced his unchanged belief that the negro soldiers of the Twenty Fifth in- fantry had been guilty of shooting up the city of Brownsville, and he asked MT. Smith to produce the letter if 1t had been received. MT. Smith did not deny the receipt of the letter but declined to make It's contents pub lie, saying that if any one should do so the president himself should give 1t out. Mir. Foraker explained that his reason for the request was to show that the president had not been in a fit frame of mind to act in the matter. On it's own initiative the interstate commerce commission Wednesday in stituted proceedings against the Chi cago & Northwestern, Union Pacific, Oregon Short Line, Oregon Railroad & Navigation. and Northern Pacific Rail way companies. Some time ago an informal complaint reached the com mission reciting that there was no satisfactory through route and joint rates for the carriage of passengers over the lines of the railways between Chicago and points on the Pacific northwest. Portland, Oregon. and Seat tie. Washington, being specifically named. The commission has cited the defendants to appear and answer the allegations with view to establish ing a system of through routes and Joint rates for passengers on ali of the defendant lines.

Price of Corn Advanced.

Chicago. May S.-Excessive rains over the territory tributary to Chicago, in consequence of which 1t is believed that farmers will be unable to ship in sufficient grain for the relief of shorts were responsible Thursday for an ex- cited advance in the price of May corn. The first offers for May ranged from 711s to 72bc, but these figures brought out few offerings. The price rapidly mounted to 74c. Receipts Thursday were only 90 cars and the arrivals are expected to continue light for some time to come.
