will be the law under which the CEN
sus of 1910 will be taken.
The act of 1900 is even a more wide
open spoils grabbing measure than the
Crumpacker bill The latter provides
for non-competitive examinations to
be conducted by the civil service COM
mission but hte ct of 1900 merely pro-
vides for ''such examinations as the di-
rector may prescribe and puts the
appointing power in the directors
hands Under this sort of legislation
the way is opened for a genuine old
fashioned saturnalia of spoilsmen, if
the director is a man who Stands in"
with the congressman and is subject to
congressional pull.
Pleasing to All congressman.
The law had it's practical test in
1900, when the director of that year
passed out the political plums that
gladdened the hearts of the congress
men. If an applicant in whom a con-
gresham had interest did not pass the
examination the director ordered a
and if that did not work, he regarded
the papers so that the applicant got
the job he was after.
That was how it worked in 1900,
and that is how it would work again
unless the director should be a strong
friend of the merit system, who would
not permit the spoilsmen to use him.
1t is conceded on all hands that the
professional spoilsmen would have
short shrift and small comfort if Mr..
Foulke were put in charge of the i'm
portant work of compiling the census.
Representative Crumpacker today
got the recognition of the chair and
moved that the presidents message
vetoing the census bill be referred to
the census committee. of which he is
chairman. Representative Robert Par
sons. a close friend of the president
inquired of the speaker whether il
would be order to instruct the COM
mittee to strike out mon" and change
the bill so as to provide for "competi-
tive" examinations.
Regard Word as Cloak.
1t is the contention of the president
and civil service men generally that
mon competitive examinations are
merely a cloak behind which the max
edness Of the spoils system may be hid
The speaker held that such instruc-
tons would not be in order
Mr. Crumpacker says that his COM
mittee will probably meet Tuesday TO
consider the presidents message. He
says the house will probably pass the
bill over the presidents veto but it is
problematical whether the senate
would do so. Crumpacker has heard
that Senator Lodge if necessary, would
kill the bill by talking it to death. A
canvass will be made of both branches
between now and Tuesday to ascer.
tain whether it will be advisable to al
tempt to pass the bill over the Veto
The personal relations between the
president and Crumpacker have not
been strained and they spent good
deal of time together at the white
house last night.

The people of Wayne county have
seen how county option has failed to
prohibit the use and sale of liquor in
Henry county, in DeKalb county. in
Boone county and in Owen county and
several other counties of this state.
And they have seen an example in
their own county of how futile it is to
attempt to convict keeper of a blind
tiger. A "druggist' at Whitewater
was prosecuted for operating a blind
tiger and although the case against
him was clear enough and everybody
almost thought he was guilty. the pro-
secutor was not able to prove his
case as the law requires and after two
trials at which the iuries disagreed
the case was dropped.
The people of Wayne county also
know how county option does not pro-

RIDING BICYCLES
COMMON OFFENSt
Police Intend to Check This
Practice.

Riding bicycles on the sidewalks has
become a common practice. This
morning a boy was seen to ride from
the first alley north of Main street to
B street on North Seventh. He went
up and down the curbings. Another
lad was seen to ride from Fifth and
North D street to Third street. The po-
lice are going to have their weather
eyes out for such violations of the city
ordinance. Last week a man was fined
for the offense. Wheel riders claim

ance and warning has been given, so
fines probably will be imposed upon

All in all, it is very surprising out
come and, coming at time particu-
larly opportune for those who are
striving to force repeal of the existing
law, it unquestionably will have a very
marked influence in the settlement of
the much vexed question-an issue
that has thus far overshadowed all
others before the legislature and kept
the people of the state in turmoil. It
will be welcome relief to the public
to have the matter finally disposed Of,
either one way or the other, and with
out further delay.

commissioner through Senator Roscoe
E. Kirkman to establish such a pre-
serve south of Milton.
Manlove asked the state game and
fish commissioner to stock his farm
with pheasants and Hungarian part
ridges but under the present law it
would be impossible for Sweeney to
do this. Sweeney however told Sena-
tor Kirkman that if Manlove secured
the consent of farmers living south Of
Milton to a plan of barring hunters
from their lands for period of five
years he would stock such lands with
the birds desired. 1t is necessary says
Sweeney that four thousand acres be
secured before a preserve can be estab-
lished.
Maniove Is Working.
It is understood here that Manlove
is working among the farmers in the
interests of the preserve. In case he is
successful the preserve will be one of
the largest in the state.
Several demands have been register
ed with Sweeney by Wayne county
sportsmen asking that more money be
spent in restocking the game in Wayne

of dollars have paid into the Golfers

of Wayne county but the state official

Although hunters will be barred
from the preserve for period of years

farms of Wayne county will be in
