 It is through greed, ignorance and carclcssncss in the use. of

THE CIVIL SERVICE REGULA-
 TONS.

President Taft has vetoed the bill passed by Congress pruvid- ing that after September 1, 1913, all appointments in the classi- fled service of the executive de- parlment within the District of Columbia shall be made for a stated period of seven years, up on the conclusion of which the employment shall cease. The mo- tive of the provision is tu strengthen tllc service by wedding out the less capable employees. Al Inc end of tn" period of seven years. ihr heads of Inc depart mrniS are tO determine which of Inc employees ar" so efficient that They may hr r"appnintcd without examination fer annihcr term of seven years. The less capable will. of course. have to submit iu q competitive examination.
 The measure has been bitterly asSailcd as a blow at the Civil Scr vice and a threatened return to inc old spells system, but the ef- feet of the recent agitation prob ably will be that Congress will be forced ln act upon a problem that las impaired the efficiency of the public s"TNicr al Washington.
 I! is a matter of record that nln>i nf the departments in Wash in@lnn are crowded with supcran- nualcd OF incompetent clerks. II iS estimated that better and more work could bc performed by one fifth the present number of clerks, If they were young and "nrrgrtIc. Ii iS one of inc faults of the pres rni system that executive en- pIny"s in Washington come to re- gard themselves as the possrss- CTS uf vested rights in their posi- lions. That is anything but a good influence. II paralyZrS am l,ilinn and chillS enthusiasm.

 We must gel away from the idea that our government is an n~yilIm for people who want easy jobs. There are in Washington al present probably four times as many employees as the government needs. If inc clerical system were rnndrrnizcd and simplifird, with all red tape eliminated, several ihnusands would have to walk ih" blank. and ihis very. fact stands in the way of bureau r"fnrnis that nughl ln have been in nSiiiuird long ago.

SUE FOR SONS DEATH.
Negligence in Allowing Boy to Drown
Is Charged.

For the drowning of their son in Cen
trail Park, John w. Harper and wife
fled suit in the district court today in
which they ask judgment for $4,000
AGAINST the city. Matteson Harper, the
son, was drowned while skating on the

year.
1t is charged by the plaintiffs that
the city was guilty of CO tributory
ne gligence in not maintaining a guard
at the pond According to the petition,
children have been allowed to skate on
the pond the last three years. No
fences or distractions were provided to
prevent the skating and q guard was
not sta toned in the park. Water in the
pond is six to eight feet deep.

CHANGES HIS MIND.
California Man Now Says He Didn't
Crack COe Safe.

Joe McHendricks, who is in prison in
Imperial City, Cal. and who confessed
to breaking the safe in the D. o. Coe
feed store in Topeka last December, has
changed his mind. When he was arrest
ed, he admitted the crime in Topeka and
talked fluently but now the officers desire
a written statement and the self-confessed
safe breaker will say nothing.
Chief of Police Morris Jenkins received
notice of his arrest several days ago but
fearing that the man would refuse to
plead guilty after being returned to To-
peka, would not assume the responsibility
of going after him. He checked the mat
ter up to E. r. Simon, the county attor-
ney, who in turn checked 1t up to the
board of county commissioners. Informa-
ton that the man would not talk or re-
peat his statement was received from the
officers at Imperial City this morning.
The county commissioners have just
about made up their mind that the tax
payers of Shawnee county do not want u
pay this mans travelling expenses from
California to Topeka, and inasmuch as
the officers do not have sufficient evil
dence to convict him without his confes-
sion, he will be allowed to get back to
Kansas at his own expense. They VIII
not send for him.

rested Monday morning on the charge
of disorderly conduct. He appeared in
court Thursday and admitted that he
was guilty of living with Pearl Will
liams without having submitted to a
marriage ceremony, while trying to
evade the charge of disorderly con-
duct. Pearl Williams claimed that he
and P. Gentry and c. Shuck entered
her house at 1875 Lane street Sunday
night with a key of beer and spent
the night there in hilarious fashion.
She found them asleep in her bed
Monday morning. Muck White was
seeking to avoid prosecution on this
charge and in doing so admitted that
he paid the rent on the house and was
buying furniture on the installm ent
plan. His lady love was not in court
but he admitted that the agents of a
furniture house in the city had called
last Friday and removed some furni-
ture upon which the payments had
not been made. After making this
admission, Judge n. B. Arnold assert
ed that no person would be allowed
to flaunt their misconduct in the face
of the court in such manner. On ac-
count of this the former charge was
dismissed and Muck White was fined
$25 on a second disorderly conduct
charge. P. Gentry was discharged and
the bond of c. Shuck was forfeited
because he failed to appear for trial.
Following the action of the court
Muck White got in his revenge. In

Menoken Jury Urges 80, $50 Yards of
Dirt Be Moved.

After ten days hearing a jury in
the Menoken drainage district contro-
versy today reported to Judge Schoch.
In their findings the jury divides the
work that is to be performed by tbs
land owners in the drainage district.
1t was found that 3e.450 cubic yards
of dirt must be removed and to the
Union Pacific Railway company falls
the heaviest task.
Trouble started last fall when con-
tract for the work was let and several
farmers in the district paid to the
board what was considered their pro-
portion of the assessment. They will
be given credit for these payments on
the basis of the jury's findings. The
Union Pacific, one of the compliments.
must pay for the removal of 5000 cubic
yards of dirt, while the township must
remove 1852 yards.
Following is the manner in which the
work was proportioned by the jury as
