CIVIL SERVICE.

Following his investigation of the civil service system in England and France James Creelman returns with the opinion that neither of them equal in any way the system which is in vogue here. He was unfavorably im- pressed by it's operation across the water. How strong a hold civil serv- ice has In this country is indicated by the position which three of the presidential candidates take upon the important question. This has been strikingly demonstrated in one in- stance, while replies to inquiries of the National Civil Service Reform league indicates it with the other two. Theodore Roosevelt are all advocates of civil service.
 President Taft emphasized his posi- ton in regard to it when he vetoed the bill which would have limited the term in office, and he made it plain that the merit system rather than the spells system should be maintained. Good government depended npon it and he prevented congress from mak- ing 8 change. This demonstrated above all quibble just where the presi- dent stands much more so than any statement of opinion might He had the opportunity to use his power of veto to check it and he did so The others have declared themselves in behalf of civil service so that on one of the important questions all are of the same mind. The president is not only Of that mind, but he has backed it up by action

HELPING THE IMMIGRANT.

In coming to the United States the immigrant anticipates a land of hope, a country where he will have the op- portunity to share in the blessings of the land Many thousands reach these shores yearly and their opinions on the result naturally vary with the in dividual and a great deal has to do with the location and environment that he finds himself in. There are many organizations for helping the strangers. and probably none is do- ing more needful work than the Con- necticut Daughters of the American Revolution in their publication of a guide to the United States for the aid of the immigrant.
 It is the object of the organization ''to promote as an object of primary importance, institutions for the gen eral diffusion of knowledge" and in providing for the immigrant knowl- edge of the conditions, laws and op- portunities it is admirably carrying out it's aim in most commendable manner It is the extension of the hand of friendship to the alien and ~ VIII nave US FeHeclloh III the DeL- ter citizenship which it will create, The guide proves to be a veritable friend in that it has in readiness the informa- ton on the customs and requirements as well as chances for advancement, which the immigrant has no other way of obtaining except by chance or after long delay. 1t also gives them the inspiration to aim higher in the land of promise

THE AGE OF WOMAN.

Nothing since the How old is Ann?' query has so upset the serenity of the women of Chicago as the recent order of the Young Women's Christian as sociation of that city in arbitrarily fixing the time when the dormitory oc- cupants pass from the period of young" womanhood It promises to be the cause of much trouble to the directresses of the association when to accommodate young women under 25, who are acknowledged to be young women, those of that age and up to 30 are asked to vacate their rooms. In this order the idea is to give ac- commodation to girls who it is felt are kept away from the city because of lack of quarters at the association. Those beyond the prescribed limit nat urally feel that they need the protect ing arm of the association in the big city and are prepared to resist being lifted into the aged class simply be- cause of their ages.
 The very idea of ejecting those pres ent occupants instead of increasing accommodations for the young wo- men is preposterous, as can easily be corroborated from most any of the sex. This passing lightly over the long established rule that a woman is only so old as she looks or feels, will here after mean increased trouble for the census taker, especially as women are behind this new standard of judging ages to determine those who are or are not, young women.

WHERE CANDIDATES STAND.

The consideration of the political situation from the various centers of the country. even those where it has been maintained that the bull moose movement is strong, shows that the sober judgment of the voters is going to bo reflected at the polls. They are not going to be hypnotized as a body into breaking away from a safe and pro gressive government of the people, for the people and by the people, to chase 8 rainbow.
 Relative to this, the Kansas City Journal has this to say: This cam paign is to be decided not by the noisy and the stubborn, but by the quiet thinkers who will weigh all ar guments carefully and vote in accord ance with intelligence and patriotism The party that has not a candidate who appeals to this class of voters, who are in the great though silent majority, is placed in an unfortunate predicament, and it is for this reason that the adherents of President Taft are hopeful His administration and the material conditions existing after four years of the policies for which he stands are a convincing testimonial that he is the right man. The situa- ton may be stated in other terms which mean the same thing. The Roosevelt campaign has not 6 vestige of reason 10 support it. It is based on passion and prejudice on 6 spectacular per- sonality, on sophistry and discontent. Roosevelt stands only for himself: his campaign is one of the man and not of measures. As bull moose he has no pride of political ancestry and no hope of political prosperity. Wilson is personally an estimable gentleman but a nonentity as a candidate, and as matter of principles he is on the wrong side of his paramount issue, which, so far as it has been decided in the nast. has been decided against him either by the voters or by the logic of events
 President Taft's candidacy is pre- eminently one of measures rather than uf the man. Personally he might be defeated with no great detriment to
 he nation perhaps, but the policies for which he stands could not be re- pudiated without very serious injury to the best interests of the people, Such a fact is the strongest argument which could be advanced In behalf of e candidate"

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
Helped to Nominate Cleveland.

MT. Editor: I was very much inter ested to read the letter in Wednesday Bulletin on Backward Chances by c. B. Montgomery. He asked us to go back to 1895. I remember those times I was a practical newspaper woman in those days, but not too busy to keep both scrap and note books of items of interest, and when I got back to 1895 l kept looking until I got back to 1892 and 1 saw the names of the delegates from Plainfield to the state convention that helped to nominate Cleveland (Whose election was the cause of those hard times) and one of the names was Charles B. Montgomery of Packerville. Now l am glad that all of the farmers around Pittsburg were prosperous in le07 but it was not so everywhere. and it is not in 1912 There is mort gagged property and not every farEer rides in an automobile (and some O. those are mortgaged), and there are still debts, trouble and poverty and there will be ten years from now. in spite of Taft, Roosevelt and even Montgomery. In the dark days 1885 General Garfield said: God rules anG the government at Washington still lives but that was before the days of Teddy bears and autos and times have changed, We thought before the con- vention at Chicago that nothing could be added to what had already been said, but that was before we looked backward.

CIRCULATION
ACTION IN NICARAGUA.

The trouble in Nicaragua continues to be the cause of not little annoy ance to this government It is the duty of this country to see that Ameri- can citizens and interests are protect ed, and under the Monroe doctrine 1t is also incumbent upon Uncle sam to protect the subjects of foreign powers. It was that undertaking which this country had to assume in order to keep foreign powers from dipping into af- fairs in republics on this side of the water. There is thus duty of grave importance upon this government in view of the tales of frightful massa- cres by the revolutionists. The ina Dility of the Nicaraguan government 10 insure safety makes Uncle Sam's responsibility the greater, but 1t IS to be hoped that the marines will be able TO take care of the situation without the need of tho infantry, though the landing of one is no different than the other. It is not the first time that American troops have been called on for this very service.
 Nicaragua finds itself crippled by the deposing of Minister of War Mena, who has previously given trouble to presidents of that republic, but Presi- dent Diaz had the courage to back his conviction when he removed him from his cabinet Politics has been the trou- ole and a formidable revolution was quickly started by the busted official, who by family ties had strong con troi over the war department and the army. The action of this country is not to gain any political control over Nicaragua, but is in the interests of American and foreign residents, in fact a deed of kindness.

IDEAS OF A PLAIN MAN
LIBERTY.

There is noshing so needful as fiber ty, and nothing that needs to be more clearly understood.
 After all, the real freedom life craves is freedom to choose it's own masters.
 When I say I want to be free to love, l mean that I want to be free to become 8 slave, for love is neither sweet nor true except it be a bondage. The lover does not want to be un- chained Freedom-from her-would be horrible.
 Free love is contradiction of terms. It is not love unless it binds me ire sistibly.
 How deep is the error men fall in to when they do not see this
 Free thought, when it is a revolt against conviction, is absurd; it is only worthy when it means freedom to obey abjectly what seems to be truth.
 Freedom in religion really means the right to follow my own religion, and not the absence of any reverence.
 Freedom then, does not signify the absence of restraint; truth and love are both essentially absolute czars. It signifies simply that you shall not put your restraints upon me.
 For some people seem to agree with the Abbe Gallant: Liberty is the right to meddle with the affairs of others"
