ferson street, Orange, is in the Or

SEES BAD EFFECT
/ OF CIVIL SERVICE
Raymond B. Fosdick Says It Is
i Strong Bulwafk Against
Efficiency.

In answer to the question, 'What
Is Wrong With New York; before
the Mems Club, of the First Baptist
Church, in Montclair, yesterday,
Raymond B. Fosdick, formerly COM
missioner of accounts of New York,
and brother of the Rev. DIR. Harry
Emerson Fosdick, pastor of the
church, said that civil service, al
though it is a strong bulwark against
complete change by each incoming
administration, also is strong bull
wRrk against efficiency.
He told how difficult it is to re-
move employees who lad proved in
efficient, saying he passed four
weeks at the trial of one municipal
employee whose discharge had been
opposed. Fosdick said the veteran
exemption clause of the civil service
law should be eliminated, as the en-
yployment of superannuated war vet
Grams lessened the efficiency OF city
departments.
.I know that things are bad in
New York; said Fosdick, .sbut when
we compare them with the condi-
tions of ten or twenty years ago 1t
will be seen that there has been
wonderful Improvement
Fosdick declined to commit him
self on police affairs when ques-
toned by man in the audience
who asked if there is not some way
to prevent daylight violence. in New
York. He said, however, that such
occurrences are inexcusable, and that
If they were reported in London
royal commission would be- investi-
eating them Immediately. Fosdick
expects that good will result from
the investigation by the committee of
aldermen.
There is constant warfare by the
powers of evil in New York, Fos-
dick said, against any public official
who tries to work for the interests
of the city.
''It only takes a headline in the
newspapers to ruin a man, and the
gang always is-feady to furnish the
material for one.
'There is no such a thing as a
sudden civic change" he said. Per
manent improvement in the quality
of the government is dependent on
the quality of the people,
He commended the system that
prevails in Germany, where munich
pal government is profession. and
skilled men are retained in office for
life. Lack of permanencyvin the de-
partment methods, Fosdick said. has
produced chaos in the condition Of

FRIGHTENING WEEKS.

Each week is more suspicious than

Use of great business year. This
implies according to the laws Of trade
chances several to succeed 1t. With
immense uniform crops as a founda-
ton, accompanied by conditions In the
Old World much less favorable, it
gives this country a place of vantage
which it has rarely il ever expert
enced, 80 concurrently do the general
facts at home and abroad run In our
favor
A significant fact Is that New York
for the last week has been put to its
trumps to accommodate adequately
the immense throngs Of business Wis
itors. No city is better supplied with
such resources of hospitality, but they
have been strained to the uttermost
since the middle of August. There is
nothing in the capacity of our trans
portation lines which does not fully
conjoin with the sanguine outlook that
pervades the whole country.
While all the activities OF trade are
notable now they will be vastly more

HAPPY FARMERS
They Have Every Cause for Joy on
tho Next Thanksgiving Day.

From the Detroit Free Press. Sept. II.
1912
A marvelously fortunate year is this
of 1912 for this land of ours. The
government crop report yesterday re-
news once more The proof that all
things are uniting for the welfare Of
Americans. 1t is an amazing show
ing, 300,000,000 bushels of spring
wheat being reported as in sight,
where last year the yield was only
19O,00O,000 bushels, and the year be-
fore 200,000,000. Added to the winter
wheat, which in spite of the soft wheat
losses in our own section of the coun-
try, will still pass the 1911 mark, the
total yield of this grain will run well
above 700,000,000 bushels, and If pri-
vate advices are reliable, even above
100000, 900 bushels.
We have had but two years in the
past when the 700,000,000 mark was
passed. 1906 and 1901, and the outlook
Is that the return per bushel for the
harvest now available will exceed that
Of either of these.
Nor is wheat the only crop that Is
practically assured of reaching record
figures. Corn, potatoes, barley, rye
and some others are already in the
class of bumper yields. The indica-
tons amount to assurance that they
will all exceed any previous aggre-
gate.
While the American fields are TEEN
ing with their produce across the
ocean is heard the cry of distress.
Cold weather and prolonged rainfall
have played havoc there. The land
is sodden and unfruitful. What crops
have grown are drowning In food.
The American farmer, with his barns
bullying with the yield of his acres,
will get big prices for his big stock
OF food supplies.
A bountiful harvest and a strong
demand should make the farmer of
this country happy man on Thanks
giving day.
