Rules Will Stay; Salaries Paid

much has been said in discussion
of the patronage which will be at
the disposal of President Wilson af-
ter March 4, 1913, that it is interest
ing to know just how many officers
and employees of the government
would be affected by the change did
Woodrow Wilson decided not to fol-
low the action of his republican
predecessors and throw out of office
hundreds of thousands of republic
ans now working for Uncle Sam.
There are 391,250 of these en-
ployes. OF these 227,657 held positions
subject to competitive examinations
under the civil service rules and
their jobs have ceased to be "pol-
itical appointments"
The Civil Service Act.
The civil service act has been in
force twenty-eight years. At first 1t
was applied to less than ten per
cent of the government positions.
Although no exact figures are at
hand, it has been extended by one
president after another until it in
cludes nearly all except a few high
er positions, such as first, second
and third class postmasters, internal
revenue and customs collectors, ifs
cal agents and certain supervisory
officers in various branches of the
government.

President Taft transferred bodily

masters from the field of political
appointments to the classified ser,
vice, and he added moro than 1000
other positions TO tho classified list,
making record as against all pres
idents.
Whether Mr. Wilson decides to
revoke some Of tile civil service or
ders of his republican predecessors
or not there viii be great many
government positions to be filed by
him, which may be distributed as
rewards for political service. II he
yields to the sutsgestipns of many or
his advisers in congress there viii
be many thousands more.
How Salaries Range
Under the civil service rules as
they stand today it is not the clerks
getting salaries from $3.50 to $1,000
and $1,000 a year that can be easily
displaced, but it is The chiefs Of
bureaus and divisions, whose salaries
begin at about $4,000 a year and
run upward, as for the most part
they are unclassified.
After the appointment of cabinet
officers the first thing the new demo
cratic administration will do will be
to name appointment clerks in tho
various departments, whose business
it will be to cast about and see
"how the land lies"

CHURCH IN ST. CLAIR
DEDICA TED TO LORD

Dedication exercises of the st.
Clair German Evangelical church
were held at the close of last week,
G. F. Sydow of Rice Lake Friday
evening. The exercises continued
through to Sunday evening and the
Sunday services were attended by
as large numbers as even the large
new edifice could seat
On Saturday morning Rev. M.
Schoenleben of Mankato filled the
pulpit and in the evening of that
day Professor S. l.. Umbach of the
Evangelical Theological seminary of
Naperville, ILL.,, delivered an address,
and gave the Sunday morning SER
mon. Professor Umbach also had
charge of the formal dedication,
which took place Sunday afternoon
The church was dedicated as the
Zion Evangelical Church of st. Clair.
The final service was held Sunday
evening when the Lords supper was
celebrated. Rev. A. A. Schendel of
Mankato was also present.
Much Money Was Pledged.
At the services contributions and
pledges were made by which $1,4OO
OF the remaining indebtedness of
$1,SCO was raised. The people have
been generous in their donations
and with an indebtedness of but
$500 on their beautiful $1,000 edi-
flee they may well feel proud of the
spirit of loyalty and generosity which
has prevailed.
1t was decided last spring to build
the church and no time was lost
in making the plans and having the
work done. Its completion at this
time was made possible only through
the untiring work of the pastor,

There are two large loaded glass

The building is credit to the
village of st. Clair and a credit to
the people of the organization for
whom it has been built. The old
church which was used for thirty
six years, had become entirely toe
small for the growing congregation
and the people of the church feel
that this new and beautiful build
ing will fill a great need in the
village.

Nothing to the Rumor.

Saltwater Gazette: The rumor
th at President Taft, after his retire
ment from office, will start a new
pa rty, is not generally believed.
Most people believe the republican
party, with few changes and alter
atoms, is good enough, and that a
new party is neither demanded nor
needed. We doubt very much that
Taft will follow Roosevelt's attempt
to disrupt the republican party.
