BOARD OPPOSITION
CALLED 'R0ORDACK'
Civil Service Commission Again
Attacks School Authori-
ties for Delay.

Characterizing the action of the
Board of Education in opposing the
proposition to put its employees I'M
der civil service as a "roorback, :
the Civil Service Association again
attacked the commissioners in a let
ter issued today. The organization
is anxious to know why the board
delayed until a few nights before
the election, at which the people will
be asked to decide the question, be-
fore registering its disapproval. The
letter is as follows:
1.-THE opposition of the Board of
Education to the adoption.of the ref
erendum extending the benefits of
the civil service law to the employees
of the board, made known on Thurs
day evening last, is surprising.
why has the board remained 81
lent until the eve of ~election1
1.-The board knew, or should have
known a month age, that the refer
endum was toaappear on the ballot.
The newspapers referred to it on the
presentation of the petition to the
Common Council; publicity was
given for weeks through advertising,
yet there was no sign of interest on
the part of the Board of Education
until the p%roverbial eleventh hour,
about four days before the election.
IAN announcement made so that
there is not time for a response to
reach the public ear is known as a
'roorback,' the perpetuation> of which
is not in vogue by high-minded Off
Gals occupying exalted positions.
mo good reason is advanced for
exempting the public employees of
the school department from the pro-
visions and benefits of the law now
in force regulating the. other mu-
nicipal employments of the city and
county.
Remember that principals and
teachers are not affected by this ref
erendum. they being protected under

GIVE
VIEW ON WARDENS
FreehoIders Seeking Reelection
Say They Are Pledged to
Civil Service Plan.

The result of a anyas of the can
disates for the Essex County Board
of Freeholders conducted by the State
Charities Aid and Prison Reform As
ISOLATION of New Jersey for the pur-
pose of ascertaining the position of
the candidates respecting the spirit
of the civil service laws with regard
the heads of the county institutions
was made public today.
The inquiry related principally to
the warden of the penitentiary and
steward of the insane asylum, and the
candidates were asked whether they
favored removing these officers With
out the preferring of formal charges
and the granting of a hearing.
Candidates John Hemsath, James d.
Bachman, John T. Wherett, Wallace
Oughletree, Arthur C. HenseL, Victor
d. Weden and Daniel Ruder used the
postal cards which were enclosed with
the committees request to say that
they were not in favor of vacating the
offices without the presentation of
charges and a hearing.
Freeholders Christian Ahner and
Ferdinand Roemele, jr., who are can
didates for reelection. Sent a circular
letter to the association in lieu of
the postal cards, explaining that as
members of the new small Board of
Freeholders elected last year, they
we're pledged to the principle of civil
service.
They say they must await the de-
cision of the Court of Appeals on the
question of whether the civil service
law has been superseded by the pro-
visions of the small board act, which
directs that all appointees of the
large board leave Office next January
/, before giving a decided answer to
that question.
The Supreme Court, the latter says,
has already decided that the placing
of wardens of the penitentiary and
the Hospital for the Insane in the
classified service was Illegal, and no
appeal has been taken from this de-
cision.
Freebooter William S. Rosenstrauch
replied that his record will show
that he has always favored the prin-
ciples of civil service.

None of these high things can be

can be used for such ends. The black
magic of campaign funds cannot work
these miracles. The government at
Washington has not in half a genera

Like Jefferson.

Gov. Woodrow Wilson's speech
formally accepting the Democratic
nomination for President reads like
the state papers and addresses pre-
pared by Thos. Jefferson, the best
educated and the best rounded man
who has ever occupied the White
House. The speech has a clearness
and lucidity comparable only with
its greatness as a comprehensive
exposition of present-day Democ-
racy.
In it Gov. Wilson discloses a
grasp of American fundamentals, a
very intimate knowledge of the ills
which have crept into our govern.
ment, and a willingness to adopt
any sound method to restore the
government to the people. His
expressions concerning the tariff are
particularly happy {and voice the

A Beautiful Tribute

The following tribute to his moth
er by Governor Thomas R. Marshall
democratic candidate for vice pres
ident, indicates that the Hoosier ex-
ecutive is a master of English Ian
guage when speaking upon a topic
which touches the heart:
II think back through the years,
the lean and fat, the good and the
bad ones, to my earliest recollec-
tions. see a woman with an eye
that flashes swift as an archangel's
wing and a mouth that breaks with
laughter hardens at sight of wrong,
singing lullabies; a woman who,
with hand graSping the Unseen
Hand, walks thebrier bordered paths

harmed. She is clad in garments
of blue for me, and age does not
soil them, nor years make them
cheap and tawdry. Her tongue is
without guile, having never been
the messenger of a lie. 1t is seven,
teen years since her soul went home
to God and her fingers became fol
me the fingers of an angel, but
have not forgotten all she said. She
told me there was a Santa Claus
and l believe her. He brings me
no longer drums and flies. But HI
still brings to me the vision of m!
mother and the music of that an
eelic chorus which sang at crea
TONS dawn and at the hour o
mans redemption"

The Proper Spirit.

He tackles his work with a spirit to
win,
In doubling he doesn't 60 to it;
A difficult task he will always begin
Serene in the thought that he'll
do it.
With faith in himself he goes plod-
ding along,
With the grim thoughts of failure
behind him,
He pays little heed to. the wall of
the thronG,
The letters of fear do not bind
him.
The thought that he cant doesn't
enter his head
To hinder his efforts while trying;
He doesn't permit any picture of
dread
To start him to fretting or sigh
ing
He plunges right into the task of
the day
Believing he's able to do it!
He pays little heed to the croakers
who say
He can't come successfully
through it.
The hill may be high, but the sum-
NIT he sees
And firmly believes that he'll
stand there,
In fact he would crawl on his hands
and his knees
If he had to, in order to land
there.
He gives up no strength to Despair
or to Fear
Though the outlook may not be
inviting;
He thinks he can win, he thinks
victory near,
And that helps a lot in his fight
ing.

Per CAPITA Wealth.

Sixty years ago the per capita
wealth in the United States was
1907; to-day it is about $1,000, an
increase of about 800 per cent.
While the per capita wealth has
greatly increased, the distribution
of it has been most unequal. Sixty
years ago we had few millionaires
and few paupers; to-day we have
too many of both, and both are still
on the increase.-Frankford Chron-

Manager Harry Davis of the Maps is
Just as Disguised with the work of the
Cleveland team as any Detroit fan is
with the work of the Tigers. Davis
evidently finds work a little different
with the Cleveland team than he did
with the Athletics. He says:
II have been connected with base
ball many years. I have been con-
nected with all sorts of teams. in all
sorts of conditions, but never in my
experience have I seen a team which
showed such little ambition as this
club.
There will be some changes In the
near future. They will take place at
the earliest possible moment. Some
Of the players now with the club will
be disagreeably surprised. Unless
present plans fail I'll have a few new
players in short time. Maybe they
won't be better than those now with
the club, but they will at leasts how

start the second game of the White
Sox series yesterday, and in conse-
quence there will be a double header
today IL 1T does not happen to be some

Although the Athletics in years past
have been under suspicion of ducking
games with hard clubs to beat when
opportunity presented itself there was
nothing in Mack's camp yesterday but
eagerness TO play. Ed Walsh was out
of the question to pitch, and the Ath-
letics have to play all their remaining
games to get a look-in for the pen
nant.
The grounds were hopeless after the
shower passed, because of the heavy
rains of the previous thirty six hours
which had saturated the earth here
| abouts. More heavy dew is predicted
4 for today. and If IT. is not possible to
play the double-header, two games
may be wiped out Of the schedule, for
