WILSON'S REFUsAL THE FOURTH
To Decline white House Tnvitatlon
Es Very UnusuaI,

Hs Very Unusual.
When Governor Wilson declined a
few days ago an Invitation from Presi-
dent Taft to dine in the White House.
he upset a tradition which dates back
to the early days OF American politics.
Since there has been a. White House
1T has been the common acceptance
that an invitation from the place was
command that could not be dis
obeyed. AS far as the records show
only three times have such invitations
been declined.
1t is recorded that when the youne
Prince de JoinviIle declined an invita-
fion from President Tyler and return
cd to France he was not permitted to
land. Louis Philippe ordered the prince
to return and atone for his blunder.
De Joinville came back to America and
meekly asked permission to accent the
presidents invitation.
Edward Murphy United States sen.
ator from New York was entangled IN
the Tammany fight with Grover CIeve-
land, and so bitter was the cortasf
that Senator Murphy declined q White
House invitation to dinner. He WAS
the first American citizen to defy tie
old custom.
There was not another incident a.
the kind until President Roosevelt
Withdrew an invitation from Senator
Tiliman just after the latterss fist firht
with senator McLaurin on the fioor s,S
the senate. Senator Martin of yirrinia
was invited by the president TO take
Mr.. Tiltman's place, but declined p,S1s

FOURTH CLASS posrmAsrERs.

President Taft's order OF oct. Is,
1912, removing fourth class postmss
ters south of the Ohio river and west Of
the Mississippi from the field of party
| politics is heartily defended by G. o.
Barry, president of the National
League Of Postmasters in third and
! fourth class offices, who has an article
in Good Government. the organ OF the
National Civil Service Reform league.
The league is in favor of the order and
against the proposal OF many demo-
! Gratis that it be rescinded by DR.. Wilson
in order to make more political ap-
pointments.
There IS an impression currens that
President Taft's order was the first OF
the kind and affected fourth class post
masters throughout the country. Nov.
80, 1908, President Roosevelt issued an
order placing in the civil service all
fourth class postmasrers east OF the
Mississippi river and north Of the Ohio.
President Taft carried 10 completion
what was begun Ly his predecessor.
The democrats have been assailipg
Taft with the contention that he acted
merely to keep in Office lot Of repub-
licans. Do they forget the consistent
attitude Of the president on civil serv-
ice2 Several months ago he expressed
a desire to place United States mar
shals, customs collectors revenue coll
lectors and othsr officials under the
ciyti service. The democrats seem to
forget, too, tlla, many members of their
party are already fourth class post
masters. The my received by such Of
ficials is small, an I it often happens
that the only storekeeper in village
IS democrat and that nobody else de-
sires to be postmaster.
c o. Barry. president Of the National
League of Pastmasters in third and
fourth class cities, presents in his ar
ticle in Good Government quotations
from letters of fourth class postmas-
ters who have made or planned i'm
provements in their offices since being
placed under civil service--improve-
ments they could not AFFORD with the
tenure Of once uncertain. Some have
moved into new and better quarters.
some have erected new buildings.
The present postmaster of Beecher
City. ILL.,, took an examination after
the Roosevelt order Of 1908, and does
not hold his position because of the So
called blanket order. He tells of how
he improved accommodations and sys-
tematized the work OF the office. "But
should fourth class offices be put back
into politics" he writes, Il know / must
quit" Postmaster Johnson of Esta-
cada, Ore, signified willingness to
erect $4,000 building providing the
tenure of Office was dependent upon
efficiency rather than political pull.
The Forum does not believe Presi-
dent Taft's purpose in the order Of
Oct. 10, 1912, was to keep republicans
in ONCE. On the contrary. it was to
promote the civil service of which he
has been consistent advocate. The
probability is that President -elect will
son is glad of Tafts action. 1t will
save him from a lot of petty wire-pull-
T ing that consumes time and causes an
administration no end of trouble.

WEDNESDAY. JAN. AZ, 1918.
TESTED SEED.


Every bushel OF seed grain that goes
into the ground this spring In North
Dakota should be tested, If the man
ho sows il has the least doubt that
III may not germinate. Hundreds of
careful farmers will test their grain
before putting it in the ground. but
undoubtedly many others will not
think Of testing It or neglect to do
so.
This Is a matter OF vital Importance
20 all North Dakotans. the man in the
Gown as well as the man on the farm
and there should be started state
wide campaign Of publicity for test
ed grain.
e g Last fall thousands OF acres Of
grain were caught in the shock by a
long period Of rain. snow and wet
lnfavorable weather. Undoubtedly
millions Of bushels Of grain were
threshed in a damp condition, pos
strly much Of it was stored where it
weuld heat slightly and the germinat-
ing powers killed.
Samples OF all grain will be tested
Tree of any charge at the North Da-
kota A. c, but the necessity to have
samples sent in early should be urged.
It win be tested not alone for germin-
ating power but for weed seeds. etc.
and its value as seed fully analysed.
Naturally there is always a rush.
Just prior to seeding time, to have
grain tested and then is the time that
hundreds Of grain samples come in
daily from all sections Of the state.
This swamps the men in charge of the
testing department, but heretofore
they have always kept the work up to
within few days Of the time samples
arrive.
The Forum believes that North Da-
kota papers could do their own section
of the state great good by urging the
Importance of having seed tested and
especially of having the samples sent
IN at once, so that it may be tested
and returned in ample time for seed
ing.
