BURLESON WILL GUST
REPUBLICANS IF HE CAN

to the victor belongs the spoils And
1t is generally understood that the new
order is in line with his idea along
that line. He proposes to compel every
applicant for appointment to a position
as fourth class postmaster to take the
civil service examination. This in
cludes all present postmasters If
they want to continue in their Jobs
they must take the examination in
competition with all other applicants
and take their chance on being con-
tinued in the office.
OF course. this means that they will
be ousted. because under the civil
service rules a certain number of ap-
plicants who make the best grades are
on the eligible list, and from this
eligible list the selection is made 1t
would be an easy matter for Demo-
crat to get on that eligible list, even
IL the present Republican postmaster
or any other Republican applicant were
to make a better grade in the exam
ination. Therefore 1t would be almost
a certainty that the appointee would be
a Democrat
The result of this new order of
things has been that many present
The Lake County times., 1913-06-18

fourth clas postmasters have decided
not to take the examination. They
feel that 1t would be useless to do so,
because there would be but a slim
chance that they could land the ap-
pointment, even If they made the best
grade Another reason is that many of
them know full well that they could
not pass a civil service examination
They are rusty in book learning" and
probably could not do much in this
way. although they have always been
able to hold down the postoffice jobs
without any trouble.
The news that the competitive exam
ination plan to be used has not yet
reached all parts of the state, but in
those places where 1t has percolated
1t has caused considerable consterna-
tion among the fourth class postmast-
ers. The postmaster general already
has selected three or four states in
which to try it out, and it is under
stood that Indiana will be in the next
list announced.
The protest of Joseph E. Bell, of this
city, who represents the Taggart fac
tion of the Democratic party, against
the appointment of Meredith Nicholson
as minister to Portugal, appears to
have no effect whatever with the
Democratic administration at Wash
ington. Reports from there are that
the president will send Nicholson >
name to the senate possibly today
This is but another evidence of the
total absence of Taggart influence with
the administration AT Washington. Up
to this time the Taggart machine has
not been able TO influence a single ap-
pointment at the hands of the admins
tration. Nicholson is anti-Taggart till

the cows come home. and this, of
course, certainly is known by the ad-
ministration. Bell, who is the Taggart
nominee of the Democrats for mayor
of Indianapolis is the strongest advo-
cate fthe Taggart machine that could
possibly be picked to undertake the
task of representing the Taggart ma
chine in this matter. He has been a
Taggart machine man all his life and
one of its leaders. If he could not
throw brick in Nicholson's path or
put sand in his carburetor no other
Taggart man could do it,

little the fact is dropping out that the
Democratic administration at Wash
ington is determined to oust present
Republican postmasters wherever 1t is
possible and fill the places with Demo-
Gratis. The civil service law is to be
used for this purpose, and 1t is under

Postmaster General Burleson has de-

AMERICAN FRUIT ABROAD

One of the New York business and

exporting house of Sgobel 4 Day. He
spent two months in England and on

commercial MIR. Day states that de-

European countries where they are
commercially grown will be decidedly

from last year amounting to at least
so per cent An inevitable conse-
auence will be big demand for the

vance in prices that will bar con-
sumption. He is practically commits
stoned, he said, to begin preparations
fer sending over all the fruit he can,
but is not certain as to what he may
be able to do in that line.
Taken all in all, the fruit produc-
tion of the United States will not be
as great as last year. There mas
been a great domestic consumption;
prices are now high and are almost
certain to continue so. They may
reach a level here under the growing
home demand that will prevent any
great proportion from going into the

the bill and "using his powerful in
fluence to have it passed in the form
approved by him and known to have
his approval"
lie assailed the democratic caucus.
which, he declared, forced senator
to "forego his own conscientious con-
victions and judgment and vote with
his party or come into disfayor and

trayer of his party
Works said: I'VE have a bill
agreed upon and marked for final
passage on the consideration of only
a few men of the party. concurred
in by the president acting with the
representatives OF this one party.
This comes in part from the vicious
doctrine that the president is the
leader of his party instead of or as
well as the president of the whole
people"
The senator declared that he did
not doubt that the president acted
from the purest motives, but feared
that "this great power to mould leg

reasonable hands, and revolution
may follow and this beneficenu gov

SAY JAP POLICE TORTURED
PRISONERS TO CONFESSION
Associated Press,


Toxic, July 24.-Charges OF tor
ture made against public procurators
of the district court at Utsunomiya
have awakened considerable public
interest throughout Japan, following
as they do the famous conspiracy
case in Korea, when during the trial
of Koreans charged with plotting to
assassinate the Japanese governor
general, the defendants accused the
police of torture.
The charges against the Utsunom-
iva officials are that during the pre-
liminary hearing of a forgery case
they examined the accused persons
from sixteen to twenty-nine hours at
a stretch, the defendants standing
handcuffed and being given no op-
portunity for rest 1t is further al
legged that they were given food only
once during the long examination,
and that physical pains were con-
tinually inflicted with the object of
forcing a confession of guilt"
The Toxic court of appeals is now
investigating the charges, and it has
been determined to sife them thor
oughly so that the question of the i'll
treatment of prisoners by the Japan
ese authorities may be cleared up
conclusively.
