RECORD
GREAT FAMILY PAPER

or all the great city dailies there
is none that stands as high in the es-
timation of out-of-town readers as
"The Philadelphia Record, which
has built up an enormous circulation
outside of Philadelphia as well as
within, strictly on its merits as a
wholesome, wide-awake and fearless
ly edited family newspaper.
sThe Record" occupies a some
what UNIQUE position as a Democra-.
tic PAPER. published In the principal
citadel of Republication and COM
handing a strong following even
among the warmest supporters of OPP
posing parties. The fact is that peo-
ple of ell political faiths, and OF no.
political faith, want the news; they
want II accurately presented, In the
most readable form, and they want
II uncolored by p~artisanship. This
they get in "The Record" which
confines its editorial opinions to its
editorial columns, and chronicles
the worlds doings just as they hap
pen.

departments devoted to the latest
developments In agriculture, every

and woman's interests in general
make 1t all but Indispensable in the
home and on the farm.
THE Philadelphia Record" is a
newspaper that every member of the
family wants to read, and that YER
member of the family profits by
reading. 1t is clean, geographically
and morally. There isn't a line in
It that the head of the household

Monday ii you want to patronize
a s and I0-cent store, by going to
the New York s and 10-cent store,
you can get ten votes with each ten

completeness and ably managed.
20, 000 separate and distinct values
to select from is a remarkable thing
when we pause to consider it, and
invariably every contestant in the
local papers offers values at actually
less than cost. Just follow the in

tisements and you are sure to rank
among the clever shoppers.
There is a druggist In the list for
voters Monday. The Lauer Co.'S
store is within convenient access to
every voter. Every article you pur.

Observation-Disclosures Cummins
W Of Iowa, as chairman Of the com
mittee on civil service and retrench-
ment, proposes to push the considera-
ton OF q comprehensive civil service
measure-one that will provide for
the designation by law of all places
under civil service classification, in
stead OF leaving them to executive or
der, and which will regulate promo
tons and retirements.
AS a member of the committee on
Interstate commerce he already has
done some work on a bill to reorgan-
1ze the interstate commission, in
creasing its membership and dividing
1T Into five parts, these parts to have
jurisdiction respectively over sections
or the country corresponding to the
traffic divisions as designated by the
railroads.
1t Is not certain that the scheme
for reorganization of the interstate
commerce commission will be ad-
vanced beyond the preliminary stage
at this extra session.
With respect to the subject first
mentioned, however, it is the inten-
ton to introduce a bill within a short

Jap War Talk Is Called Criminal

the suggestion that 1t might not be
improper for congress to start an in
vestlgation with a view to ascertaining
why this talk of hostilities between
the United States and Japan con-
tinues. 1t is pointed out that such an
investigation ought to reveal whether
as a matter of cold fact there is any
basis for the stories that are constant
ly put in circulation. For nearly four
years this, talk has gone on here at the
capital, and naturally has spread to-
other sections OF the country.
President Taft has recently found It
necessary to invite the ambassador of
the Japanese empire to the White
House and assure him personally that
the administration Is in no way re-
sponsible for the war talk that has re-
Gently been INDUCED in, and to reiter-
ate to him that the United States has
only the kindliest feelings for Japan.
During the last month many stories.
circumstantial in character, have been
passed around here tending to show
that Japan Is preparing to, fight this
country. Every M of them on in
v~estigation has been found to be base
less.

Naturalists Busy on Canal Zone

ENCOURAGING reports are being re.
Il ceived by the Smithsonian institu.
ton from the naturalists who are TAX
ing part in the biological survey of
the Panama canal zone, which was or
gained by the institution last winter.
The principal branches of natural his
tory are represented in the party,
which includes seven experienced field
naturalists, nearly all Of them from
the scientific bureaus of the govern
ment.
Naturalists throughout the world are
greatly interested in this biological
survey, because when the canal is
opened sweeping changes probably will
take place in the distribution of the
animals and plants. A part of the
fresh water streams of the isthmus
now empty into the Atlantic ocean and
others into the Pacific.
1t is known that a certain number
of animals and plants in the streams
on the Atlantic side differ from those
OF the Pacific side, but as no biological
survey has ever been undertaken the
extent and magnitude of these differ
enceS have yet to be learned.

time and to do as much work on it
as possible in committee during the
summer.
Hearings may be held and as an in
dication of Senator Cummins' inten-
ton to keep his committee busy, the
first thing he did after reaching Wash
ington the other day was to his
quarters in the senate Office building
from the northwest corner to the
southeast corner, Immediately adjoin-
ing the Dol allotted to the commit
tee on civil service and retrenchment.
For years, until MI. Cummins be-
came chairman, this committee had
been n of the "do-nothing" commit
tees Of the senate. In the last con-
gress 1t held hearings on the propo-
ton to provide for the retirement
and pensioning of superannuated en-
ployees of the various government de-
partments.
1t now is proposed to embrace the
civil service classification and the
promotion and retirement features in
n comprehensive measure.
There is no intention, it is under
stood, of assailing the executive
branch of the government through the
proposition to designate by law the
positions that shall be filled under
the civil service rules. 1t is designed,
however, to make the rules more
rigid and to prevent in the future the
excepting of certain places from the
of the rules by executive
order.

Sherman Hard to Keep in Line

cronies in the house and a general
dislike for formality, especially when
the formality is a prolonged affair,
almost disarranged the White House
plans for the New Year reception.
Mr.. Sherman was the first man re-
ceived by the president. The vice
president then became a member of
the presidents receiving party. The
presiding officer of the senate contin-

sfble., and then quietly stepped into
the line of guests which had already
passed the president and walked out
to the east room, where there were
