WANTS CIVIL SERVICE ABOVE
SUSPICION.

Alexander Troup Of New Haven is
the worthy successor of a worthy par
ent. He stands not only for fair play
but for having things done in the most
approvable way. He wants the civil
service examination at the Elm city
to be ION the level" In a recent
interview upon the civil service com
mission there he said:
ITO my mind the system Of giving
the examination is as important to
the city as any of the new rules, and
two methods have been suggested
which might give the results desired.
The first is to make some arrange
ments with the civil service board in
Washington to have the examiners
there send the questions here in sealed
envelopes, the same as they do for fed
eral examinations. and to have the
seal broken in front of the candidates
at the examinations, and not before
No doubt the plan would be an ex-
pense to the city, as the Washington
examiners would have to be paid for
their services. am informed that the
Washington examiners get out munich
pal questions for Washington which
could. with very slight alterations. be
made available for New Haven. The
examination papers could be sealed up
at the conclusion Of the examination
and sent to Washington to be correct
ed, and the examiners there could re-
turn the papers and marks. This, Of
course, would free from suspicion Of
favoritism the local members Of the
board. as they would have nothing to
do with the marks on the papers,"
This is a level-headed suggestion,
and once adopted it would be likely
to produce most satisfactory results.
It certainly would put the whole mat
ter beyond suspicion.

DUB GRAND OLD MAN.

Congressman Sperry, the Oldest
representative Connecticut has in con-
gress, does not sit idle when 1t is time
for some one to speak for the good of
the public service and the benefit of
the men who do good work and de-
serve good pay.
A news despatch said:
He carried his So years well and
although his voice was feeble he made
O strong plea for those whose inter
ests he had at heart. Members crowd
ed about him and literally applauded
him.
mfr. Lloyd, MO, vigorously attacked
the increase in postal expenditures. In
ten years, he said, the increase for
postofice employees had been 17s per
cent, while in that time the increase
in business had been but 80 per cent"
In advocating adequate pay for pos
tai employees Congressman Sperry is
perfectly at home, and II not as Wig
orous as he once was, his words have
weight because Of the knowledge he
has Of the work and the spirit of
fairness which has always governed
his endeavor.

liberty they are proud Of and faithful
to every trust reposed in them.
Schools are not intended merely to
train the mind and develop Intellectual
ity. There is in each boy soul to be
educated as the central element of
character. The truth of righteousness.
that Is to say the building up Of a
spiritual element Of honor, honesty,
sense of duty and devotion to it. Is no
less important than the Illumination
Of the mind with the truth Of science.
The cultivation OF the mind and char
acter should go on together and not
be separated.
The training that is good for one
class of youths may not be best for
another sort. and therefore one sort
of school cannot justly be pitted
against another.

A JUST RECOGNITION.

In noting the end of Chief Justice
Baldwin's term Of service upon the
supreme bench of Connecticut by age
limitation. Governor Lilley, in behalf
Of the state, wrote the following
words of appreciation:
connecticut has been fortunate in
the selection Of her judges and in no
case more 50 than in yours. I take
this opportunity personally and in be-
half OF the state to express to you
her appreciation and my own. Of your
long and distinguished career in her
service.
In laying down the care Of Office
that universal respect and esteem in
which you are Justly held should be
a course Of constant satisfaction.
Permit me to wish you many years of
enjoyment of a well-earned respite
from arduous labors.
With kindest regards, have the
honor to remain,
VERY respectfully yours,
GEORGE L. LILLEY.
Governor"
Ali the citizens in this part Of Con-
necticut, irrespective Of party affilia-

regarded as Connecticut's greatest tu-
rist for many years. 1t is a great loss
to the state to have pass from active
service such a valuable public servant.

WHAT WERE THEY THERE FOR
Reporters Seemingly Superfuous
Question as to Happenings at
Cabinet Meetings.

Postmaster General Meyer is of a
serious turn Of mind, but he has bit
of humor in his makeup, nevertheless.
Being looked upon as the shrewdest
politician in the presidents cabinet, he
is the objective point for newspaper
correspondents on cabinet days.
Last week as Mr. Meyer emerged
from the White House a newspaper
man asked:
Mr. Postmaster General, can't you
give us some news about the cabinet
meetings?"
There really is nothing to say" re-
piled the cabinet officer. "We dis
cussed nothing of especial impor-
lance"
DO you mean to say you did not
discuss politics. the newspaper man
queried
The postmaster general burst into
laughter When he recovered his u.s.
ual serenity he said:
DO you suppose we were all muz-
zled?"

THREE DAYS CELEBRATION.
Fourth of July Mortality Records De-
creased Over Former Years.

Chicago, July 6.-With three DAYS
celebration of the nations birthday
this year the remarkable fact stands
out boldly that the annual carnage
has been decreased to a great degree
Advices from all points show that in
all the large cities new rules and
their strict enforcement have checked
the customary slaughter of children.
In st. Louis there was one death In
New York there were but four deaths
for three days. In Chicago, usually
drenched with blood under the guise
of patriotism, there was not a single
death for the three days. In Wash
ington there were no deaths, no in
jured and only the smallest firecrack-
ers were permitted. In all the other
large cities there were but few deaths
and limited number of injuries. The
campaign begun by the newspapers,
medical association and the peaceful
public generally five years ago is
beginning to bear fruit. This year
in the large cities the axe was laid
to the root of the evil when a limited
number of reputable dealers were per-
mitted licenses to sell fireworks, and
they were strictly forbidden to sell
to children or irresponsible persons
and giant crackers, toy pistols, dyna-
mite cans and similar deadly weap-
ons. The beneficial result shows in
the great decrease in mortality. The
results for this year over the country
were, Killed 46, seriously injured
85e and fire loss S427, $50.
