II Civil Service Conditions Are As
Bad As This Man Says They Are,
Then It's Time TO Reform Them.

To the Editor Of THE TIMES:
Since March 4, 1909. the United States
Civil Service Commission has evaded
and violated the civil service law on so
many occasions, that the subject Of
civil Service Reform should be made
a prominent issue in the approaching
campaign for the Presidency.
When the Civil Service Commission
relegates the civil service law to the
legislative junk pile and administers the
affairs Of that office in a high-handed
method, without the least regard for
justice or decency. would II not be en-
tirely appropriate for the American
polls next November for new deal
In the administration of Governmental
affairs at Washington?
When a man who believes in the en-
forcement Of the civil service law shall
have been elected President of the Unit
will then be something more than q
farce and a fake: candidates that fail
to pass the examinations will not then
be able to have their ratings raised
Uhrough political pull or otherwise)
and their names placed upon the eligible
register; no one will then be appointed
to a position in the public service mere
lv because he is a needy relative of
some one that held an easy berth under
the United States years ago; civil SER
vice commissioners will not then evade
and violate the civil service law In an
effort to take care Of their personal
friends. ..
It is confidently predicted by the writ
er that the American people will. by
their votes on November 5, give the
country relief from the Taft oligarchy
at Washington. and give us Govern:
ment of the people, by the people, and
for the people" Respectfully yours,

THE SENATE AND THE PRESIDENT.

The Senate has resolved that interference by
the President to influence the Senates action vio-
lates the spirit if not the letter of the Constitution.
Granting this, what Of it? 1t is merely so much
the worse for the Constitution. The President will

is the recognized head of political party He will
use his power to mold measures, so long "by
and with the advice and consent of the Senate"
continues limitation of the patronage and treaty.
making powers. 1t is inevitable.
The most effective indictment that public opin-
ion brings against Mr.. Taft is that he DID NOT in
fuence Congress rightly during the tariff session
Mr. Roosevelt was always under attack for using
his utmost influence on Congress. What the
result? That in 1904 he was elected by more than
twice the popular majority any other man ever re-
ceived and in 1908, had he been a candidate, he
would have increased this majority.
So long as the Senate assumes prerogatve of
debating appointments, which the Constitution in
tended should be made by the President, so long
will the President use his influence with the Senate
whenever he likes. And when he uses it in the
right direction the people will approve. The more
effectively he uses i-rightly-the more highly they
will approve.

THE OPPOSING CAMPAIGN PLANS.

Governor Wilson had everything his own way at
the meeting Of the Democratic national committee
in Chicago yesterday. His scheme of organization
for the campaigns conduct was adopted without a
suggestion of opposition
Therefore it is to be expected that he will have
difficulty henceforward in getting things directed
into the channels he approves. This means, among
other things, that his campaign will be made with
most vigor in the East. He proposes to that
the South is safe, and to 60 after enough votes in
the East to put him over the line with an electoral
majority.
This plan could not be better fitted TO the pur-
poses of the progressive party. At the very begin
ming acquiesces in the Roosevelt purpose to ignore
Taft. Roosevelt will be left the great trans-Alle-
ghanan country, where Taft is weakest and he is
strongest as field for his own activities. Wilson
has in mind it is explained, to 60 after New England,
New York, New Jersey, Maryland and Pennsylvania
with especial vigor
With Wilson thus devoting himself to the East,
and with his campaign in charge of young Mr..
McCombs, who doesn't like Bryan and comes as near
to being reactonary as is possible without getting
the label affixed, the West will not be long awaken
ing to realization that if Western influences TO
have weight in the next four years, if the really pro-
gressive section is to preponderate in national coun-
ellis, it must do so through support of Roosevelt.
The West wants Roosevelt anyhow. 1t will want
him the more, as it realizes the significance of Gov
ernor Wilson's close afiliaton with the Eastern wing
Let us see just how the campaign, in its present
status looks to a Western progressive
A New Jersey man is candidate; man who has
gained some repute as reformer, yet who has never
raised hand voice to reform the corporation code
of New jersey though knowing full we'll that that
code has made his State the habitat of most of the
worst trusts.
An Indiana man is the Vice Presidential nominee
man whose strength comes from the old Indiana
Taggart machine, in alliance with the liquor interests
An Eastern urac conservative, who hates Bryan
and everything Bryan represents, is national chair
man.
The campaign plan contemplates, first:
To place chief reliance, for the bulk OF electora
votes, on the solid South; and, second,
To gain enough more in the conservative East Il
fill up the gap between the South's strength and the
number necessary to elect.
That is certainly not program that will strongly
appeal to the Western and mid-Western Progres

AN AMAZING CRIMINAL CONDITION.

The cold-blooded, carefully planned murder Of a
gambler turned informer in New York, is followed
by thinly veiled charge by the district attorney
that he believes the murder was the result of a
police plot.
The VICTIM Rosenthal, had quarreed with the
police because he alleged they had blackmaied him
to pay large sums for protection, and then failed
to treat him square" He went to the authorities
and unfolded a marvellous tale of partnership be-
tween the police and favored gamblers who buy pro-
lection; tale that has its telling confirmation
in the fact that gambling DOES go on in New York.
that certain favortes DO manage to stay in the bus-
ness.
He was lured to a tenderlon hotel for conference
with police officer; summoned to the sidewalk shot
full of holes by gang of desperadoes who escaped
in touring car.
Is it possible that the supposedly highly efficient
police of the metropolis in organized league with
crime and that the alliance of graft is so powerful,
so brazen, so intrenched, that not only Rosenthal
but many better man" has been murdered by the
police for "squealing?" That is the question New
York is today looking squarely in the face.
The Italian camorra would look almost like a
society for the prevention Of unnecessary noises
alongside such combination of crime, graft, and
murder as this.

Finds No Merit in the Substitution
OF an Animals Head For the
Figure of the Gnddess of IihertX

To the Editor of THE TIMES:
1t is most natural that patriots should
protest against the substitution of an
animals head on the nickel for our
beautiful symbol of Liberty-its goddess.
However, much the buffalo may typify
our frontier. 1t is, at least. but a part
Of our great nation, and not suggestive
even remotely OF any more than the
ea:ly days. The Goddess Of Liberty
sympolizes and embodies an entire free
country: its dignity. beauty and power
1t appeals to our loyalty. our imagtna-
ton and our national ideals. It is neither
for our North or South, East or West,
but for all these. and great would be
the responsibility of any who would dis
place this emblem Of so much that is
beautiful and permanent. for anything
that means less. and what could en-
body more than the symbol of our lib
erty and our national greatness? Ac-
cepted and honored of men and nations

might buffalo's head replace the god
dess on Americas Capitol; for, In the

CAMPAIGN STARTED
FOR FUNDS TO KEEP
UP OUTING CAMPS
Young Women Maintain
Booths in Stores and
Office Buildings.

With corps of more than a hundred
young women from the different
churches and charity organiza tions en-
listed in its service, the Outings COM
mittee" Of the Associated Charities to-
day started a two-day campaign for
funds with which to maintain outing
camps for the District poor.
Booths have been established in all
of the leading department stores of the
city, while in many drug stores and In
Government buildings charity workers
will conduct the campaign for con-
tribut!ors. Today and tomorrow will
be known to the workers in the cam
paign as Outings days.
At both the Columbia and Poll The
aters flower booths have been set UP at
which sales will be made for the benefit
OF the outing camps. These booths will
be the only ones at which anything will
be for sale. Those established in the
stores are merely places where contribu-
tons can be made to the charity.
Each OF the booths will be furnished
with literature and pictures showing the
work being done for the poor mothers
and children Of the District. Persons
wishing to investigate what the camps
are doing in the way of helping mothers
and children affected by the sweltering
heat Of the city's streets and alleys
can learn from the young women sta
toned at the booths just what is being
done through this branch Of charity.
With the view of making themselves
acquainted with the work of the charity
outing camps. the young women who
are taking charge Of the booths went
on straw ride to Camp Good VIII
and Camp Get Well In Rock Creek park
several days ago. At that time every
phase Of the work was explained to
them.
The principal booths win be located in
the following stores: g. Kann, Sons &
Co., Woodward & Lothrop, the Palais
Royal, Lansburgh & Bro. Saks & Co.,
Goldenberg's Dulin & Martins, the
Peoples Drug Store, and other down
town pharmacies.
In the Postoffice Department lunch
room and at the door of the Treasury
building several young women will seek
contributions for the outing camps fund.
Several hundred dollars are needed for
the maintenance OF the camp through
the summer months.

Thinks Uncle Sam VIII Not Have
the Real Say About the Panama

To the Editor OF THE TIMES:
The question OF tolls for the Panama
Canal" has just begun to simmer"
and Is beginning to occupy the attention
of the United States Senate, the De-
partment OF State, and the columns of
the public press.
1t Is noticed that President Taft says
that we own the Panama Canal Under
ordinary conditions of bargain and sale
and the expenditure of four hundred
million dollars, this would be accepted
without question. But many students
Of European history and observers Of

Comment On the Illiteracy Test.

To the Editor OF THE TIMES:
With reference TO the Post editorial
referred 10 in A. K. Jones letter in to-
days Mail Bag" there is an article
in last weeks Survey containing the re-
port of the Immigration Committee oil
the Society Of Charities and corrections
which shows that the Post editorial
was based quite on misinformation The
adopted report referred to condemns
only the Root amendment of the Dill
ingham or Immigration Commission
bill AS to the illiteracy test there was
a division. and action was taken by the
conference only on matters In which
the report was unanimous.
The Posts statement that II was
shown that illiterate persons are pro-
portionately less criminal inebriate,
and dependent than literate, is an error
No such proportions were demonstrated
at the conference. As matter of fact
the reverse Is true. Statistics show
clearly that a rudimentary education
tends to make a person more temperate,
more able to earn a living, and more
law-abiding.
Since the subject is Of Importance.
and these erroneous statements have

ant that the corrections be made. and

WEDNESDAY, JULY II, 49,
WILL THE PRESIDENT EXPLAIN?

President Taft is to issue detailed statement
arguing that the Chicago nomination really wasn't
stolen and then passed to him.
Fine. Will he deny that he signed an agreement
to abide by the California primary law, entered
full ticket Of candidates under it, and then stood for
the theft of the delegates elected under it in the
Fourth district of that State?
Will he deny that that action was taken with his
entire approval, in order to establish precedent
under which, when the 1916 convention is called,
the California and Maryland and other similar
primary laws may be ruled out as unrepublican,
and the party forbidden to elect delegates under
them?

VARIOUS MOTIVES
BACK Of SENATE'S
CENSURE OF TAFT
Bailey Resolution Supported
by All Democrats and
Six Republicans.

Following the attack of Senator
Bailey on President Taft Yesterday
afternoon. because Of the fact the Presi-
dent took an active part in opposition
to Lorimer, the Senate passed the
Bailey resolution protesting against any
attempt of the President to exercise
influence over Senators on any aues-
tion involving the right of Senator to
his seat or any matter within "the ex-
elusive Jurisdiction Of the Senate"
The vote for the resolution was 35 to
%. The motives back OF the vote were
mixed. In part, Lorimer Senators were
seeking to rebuke the President for
taking a hand in that matter. In part,
some of the progressive Republicans
were trying to get back at the President
for making use OF the patronage power
to their disadvantage. And IL was
freely talked about the lobbies that the
Bailey resolution originated in a purpose
TO add to the credit of the President
for opposing Lorimer and detract from
the credit of Roosevelt.
Really Has No Effect.
So far as having any permanent effect
is concerned. II is plain the resolution
will amount to nothing. AS a matter
of fact, the question of how far the
President can go ID exerting influence
on the Senate recurs with every Ad-
ministration, and has been acute most
of the time since the Government was
founded.
The debate on the resolution lasted
most Of the day. Senator Bailey scored
the President severely, and charged he
had read none of the evidence when he
wrote his letter to Roosevelt of which
30 much has been beard. Bailey went
so far as to say that Andrew johnson
had been impeached for a less offense
that President Taft was guilty of.
Bailey attacked the President for
references to him as one of the Senators
fighting to retain Lorimer. But Senator
Borah said the President intended no
such reflection, and the Texas Senator,
therefore, withdrew his remarks on that
score.
Cummins' Amendment Lost.
Much time was consumed over the
form of the resolution Senator Cum
minis wanted It modified so that 1t
would reach to attempts to influence
legislation not exclusively in the juris-
diction of Congress. An amendment he
offered was voted down. Senator Nc
Cumber got the resolution modified SO
II would be less pointed in its reference
to the Lorimer case and would refer to
any matter within the exclusive juris-
diction of the Senate

resolution, and the following Repub-
licans also supported IT. Bourne, Clapp
