Civil Service Changes

Springfield Republican,: The presi-
dent is clearly in no mood for a fight
With congress over the merit principle
in the civil service, if he can possibly
avoid it. He now signs the urgent
deficiency bill, which includes a pro-
vision removing deputy collectors and
deputy marshals from the working of
the civil service law, taking pains,
however, to declare anew his personal
devotion to the reform principle
Doubtless a plausible argument can
be made for the provision in question,
hut it is regrettable that these recur-
rent attacks on the civil service by
congress, which takes a mean advant-
age Of the presidents inability to We
to separate items in bill, are not re-
buked in some effective way. Mr..
Wilson's real reason for letting con-
gress have its way in these matters
is that he is seeking from it big things
like banking and currency legislation,
and he believes the less all around
antagonism there is the better for the
winters program as a whole He
will find that sooner or later he must
buck congress hard on the spoils is

cheaper, owing to 10 per cent tariff
cut; music is reduced 10 per cent and
church furniture from to 10 per cent.
Another series of reductions in the
tariff which should make all church
supplies cheaper is aimed at all tracts,
pamphlets and religious parapherna-
liza, from which import duties have
been entirely removed. Going on the
theory that the Democrats, as they
promised, would remove or lower i'm
port tariffs on all "necessaries Of
life" the new schedules on religious
goods of all kinds show that the Ma
tional Congress is at least religious
and believes religion a necessity"
Grandma, by the way, should be
able to get along with less eXpendi-
ture, since the tariff has been SO cut

Washington, Nov. 13.-The Ameri-
can husband, who has been wont to
settle himself in his easy chair, plant
his feet on another, and spend Sunday
morning reading the newspapers, and
also the husband who plays golf whilst
wife and children represent the fam
lily at church, will have less excuse
hereafter than ever before to "cut"
divine service. The new Democratic
tariff law, it is confidently believed,
will make church-going cheaper.
For one thing, the import tax of %
per cent, which amounts to about so
cents apiece on the popular editions of
foreign made Bibles, is removed en-
tirely. All down the line of religious
supplies, the nav tariff aims at retail
reductions. Organs are reduced 10 per

eyes, I did," said the president,
blushing and dashing for his car.
When the train pulled out Evington
was in the throes of a feud as to which
of its feminine inhabitants was to
have the basket.
At college and in college atmos-
pheres, however, the president loses
his ordinary austerity and actually
beams. At Princeton, where he went
to cast his vote in the primaries, he
wandered about the college, acting as
guide to the party and explaining the
buildings and the treasures in a low
ing sort Of way. He dragged his feet
as he went toward his train, and he
remained on his car platform as long
as he could see the college buildings.
At Swartmore college, where he went
to deliver an address, he warned his
hearers that he would have a hard
time keeping away from a regular
lecture on discipline and behavior, and
then launched into a discourse on
those very subjects. After it was
through, though it was dark and very
damp, he insisted on strolling about
the campus, talking over college mat
tcrs with the president of the college,
DR.. Swain.
He isn't very fond of having dele
cations greet him when he is on a
train. The formality tires him. All
formality does. He has abolished uni
forms on his aides; he carries with
him only stenographer to take his
speeches; he never writes out speech
beforehand. He rarely even divulges
what he is going to talk about.

itself and come downstairs, where airy
persifage holds forth.
Once in a while, though, the presi-
dent actually enjoys these exchanges
of wit that come whenever chief eX
ecutive or any great man mingles
with the rest of the world. One ex-
ample Of this occurred on the recent
trip to Washington from Mobile. Al
Salisbury, N. c., there was great
crowd waiting for speech. The pres
ident had ordered the tram TO stop
but minute so he could avoid making
it. A man clambered up the brass rail
Of the observation and cried out:
"Come on out Mr.. President and
show yourself, anyhow. We want to
look at you" The president, grinning,
stepped to the doorway of his car.
"Im not much to look at" he said.
"Well, anyhow, you look darn good to
me-" yelled the man, waving his hat.
"Thats why l voted for you, and Pm
going to do it again, when ] have q

ton, Va., way station, where the
president had the train halted so he
could take little constitutional, some
women grabbed him Historically by
the arm.
"Oh, Mr.. President" cried one.
"Give us fower," pointing to one Of
the floral displays with which some
enthusiastic admirers had showered
him all along the line Of route. The
president directed that the whole af-
fair, most elaborate basket of yell

vided among the women. One of
them got the whole affair and started
off as fast as she could go. The 9TH

Wilson Can't Get
Used to Crowds
BY Burton X. Standish

Written for the United Press)
Washington, Nov. 13-Up to the
present time President Wilson hasn't
learned to enjoy addressing crowds.
Which, in these days of persistent
presidential travel and insistent inhab-
itants, is somewhat amazing. Presi-
dent Wilson, if he followed absolutely
his own wishes and desires in the mat
ter-which he doesn't-would very
rarely, if ever, give rear-platform
talk or make campaign speeches.
What he would like to do would be to
tackle his job Of being president, and,
with the exception Of game Of golf
now and then, let nothing else inter
fere or draw him away from his desk.
He would much prefer to be, as some
local newspaper wag here said few
days ago, "confdential president" j."
and let his work and results do the
talking to the crowd for him.
President Wilson actually quivcrs
when delighted constituency in over
alls and coal dust, leers up at him and
cries out, "What, no, Woody, Old
Scout" or "Hooray for Woody" He's
ready and willing always to shake
hands, particularly with the ladies,
for the president probably is the great
est example of courtesy eXtant today,
and many times the chief executive
has sent shivers Of apprehension ca
vorting coldly up and down the spine5

company him on all trips, by insisting
on leaving the platform to wade into

P URE MILK FOR
ONLY 81 POOR
BABIES
Hundreds Of Others Suffer Be-
cause Mothers Congress Has
Not Sufficient Funds.

The Mothers Congress, which has
lnaugurated a campaign for pure milk
for babies through the hot months
adopted the unique method Monday
Of distributing milk bottles at grocery
stores for the collection of pennies
and nickels with which to buy milk
Mrs John Rowlett, 1s6 East Pine
Street, who heads the congress, said
the campaign would be the best ever
conducted for the health of Atlanta
infants.
SO far but 81 Of the hundreds Of
babies of the poor have ben provided
for by the fund. Certificates calling
for milk throughout the three summer
months have been given the mothers
Of the infants.
We want every baby in Atlanta to
have good, pure milk through the hot
spell" Mrs. Rowlett said, and, If pos
sible, we shall see that this is ac
complished."
Sunday, Mrs. Rowlett said, she went
to the home Of Mrs. w. J. benson. at
Ella Street to see a baby that had
been reported to her. The visit was
too late. The baby was dead, and the
mother sobbed regret that aid had not
come sooner.
