manded by President Taft in a mes
sage sent to congress today and de-
signed to supplement the message on

ment service" transmitted to both
houses on Feb. 5, last.
President Taft has embodied in his
message the conclusions of the COM
mission appointed by him under au-
thority of the acts of June rs, 1910,
and March 3, 1911, to inquire into need
ed reforms in government service.
Some of the reforms urged by the
president and the amounts. he claims
will be saved are as follows:
Placing Of the postmasters upon the
civil service basis, $4,512,900; placing
OF pension agents under the civil SER
vice. $4,000; extension of civil SER
vice to land office and curtailment of
unimportant positions 100000; con-
solSdation of offices OF six auditors of
treasury department; placing light
house and life-saving services from I'M
der bureau of lighthouse of department

them from the treasury department,
$foO, 600; Capitalization of distribution
Of government publications, $4,000;
discontinuance of official register and
establishment of an organization out
line. $4,000 on each issue.
The Chief Feature.
I'm. - 80 l.
Ehe presidents reiteration that politics
be removed from the postal service.
30 as to promote efficiency and effect
an economy at the same time 1t is es-
timated that $10,0o0,OO0 is lost annu-
ally by the government under the
present system. 1t is the presidents
idea to eliminate assistant postmasters
and give the regular potmasters sal
airy 20 per cent higher than his assist
ant formerly received.
In the matter of pension agencies
the message says that the work done
by a pension agent and chief clerk,
whose combined salaries are approx
mately $4,000 could be accomplished
by a civil service commissioner at a
salary of from $1,000 to $4,000,
Congress is asked to establish a
merit system so as to secure more eff
ficfett work and to extend the CLASH
fed service to the internal revenue
and customs offices. Abolition of the
revenue cutter service as a separate
institution from the navy is recon-
mended, the president asking why
"two navies" should be maintained.
Both economy and efficiency, Mr.. Taft
states, demand that the revenue cutter
service be placed under the navy de-
partment.
The president points out the advisa-
bility of establishing uniform sys-
tenn of granting privileges among cab
met members for the purpose of trav-
cling and reorganization of the
handling and fling Of government cor.
respondence so as to reduce the num-
Der of letters handled
The president recommends an appro-
priation for the establishment of an
up-to-date printing Office for the seven
departments of the government and a
further appropriation to allow a con
tinuance of the work of the investigat
ing committee.

He Priced Them Highly Until Or. Wis

1t is said that when Thomas Jeffer.
son journeyed from Monticello to Phil
adelphia on his way to take the oath
of office as vice president he carried
lot Of bones In his baggage. The bones.
alleged to be those Of a mammoth.
had been found in Greenbrier county,
Va. and sent to Monticello. where
they were set up by Jefferson. who.
1t appears. entertained q somewhat ex.
aggerated notion of his attachments In
natural history and who stood sponsor
for the bones as those Of "a carnivo-
rOus clawed animal entirely unknown
to science"
1t was not until after Jefferson
reached Philadelphia that he was un.
deceived, for at a glance the learned
Dr. Wistar saw that they were the
bones Of the common sloth, several
specimens of which he showed the
Virginian. Jefferson. 1t is related. was
greatly chagrined. especially as his dis
covery became known as Megalonyx
jeffersOnii
1t has been pointed out that indi-
rectly no less naturalist than the
great Button may have been RESPONSE
BILE for Jefferson's error. 1t was the
Virginian's practice to send Button
specimens and Information. and with
the subtle flattery of courtier the
French naturalist wrote:

the most famous one possibly being
that pulled by CoZy Dolan and Harry
Gessler at Chicago several years ago.
On this occasion Dolan had reached
second In the ninth. and one was
down. the score at the time being In
favor of the Cubs by one run mar
gin. The next batter hoisted a long
fly over center field Gessler grabbed
the ball and. deciding that it was the
third out. tucked the ball in his pock
ct and few for the clubhouse.
Dolan, instead of taking advantage
of the break to score the tying run.
also figured that 1t was the third out
and followed Gessler across the field.
while raving mob of players from
both teams, surrounding them, tried
to impress the horror of the situation
upon them.
Artie Hoffman finally took the ball
away from Gessler, chased Dolan to
the clubhouse and made the putout at

the richest double break on record,
but there have been a few others al.

FEDERAL INCORPORATION.

1t would aid the business pub
lie If specific acts of unfair trade
which characterize the establish
ment of unlawful monopOlies
should be denounced as INSIDE
meanors for the purpose, first, of
making palmer to the public
what must be avoided and, Sec
ond, for the purpose of furnishing
such acts by summary procedure
without the necessity for the for
midable array of witnesses and
the lengthy trials essential to
establish general conspiracy
under the present act. But there
is great need for other construc-

Combination Of capital in great

If within the law, for every one

modern business is by effective
combination of the means of pro-
