EMPLOYES FOR PRESERVATION
 OF CIVIL SERVICE

The conference and convention of representatives of federal employees. held in Washington, D. C., on April and 5, resulted in the organization of the National Association of Civil Service Employees, comprising mem bership of over 100000, with the object in view of preserving Civil Service.
 The need for this new association has been evidenced on several occa- sions, notably in the last Congress when a seven year tenure of service bill failed of becoming a, law only by the veto of President Taft and the refusal of the lower House to over ride his veto.
 Had this bill become a law, the death of civil service had come and the destruction of efficiency would soon follow, for with the insecurity of position the service would not attract the ability demanded.
 The non-provision of equitable dispo- sftion of aged employees will also TO- ceive the attention of the new organi- zation. Yearly, hundreds of the more efficient in the service leave because of the uncertainty of employment when advanced in years, and enter other callings with more secure promises for that time of life. This takes the best out of the service and tends to lower the high standard of efficiency aimed at under civil service. The last Con gress had this defect under conSidera- ton and many bills were presented to correct it, but no definite action was taken.
 On March P, President Woodrow Wilson advised that a conference of representa- of civil service em- ployes could be held in order that data might be formulated for presentation to Congress, which would assist in ob- taining a suitable remedy.
 Locally, the new organization is well represented, having a membership of 150, embracing the Customs and Inter nal Revenue clerks, supervisors, letter carriers post office clerks, rural car riers and railway mail clerks, with Letter Carrier P. H. Howard as pres ident
 Cashier w. T. Meyer of the super visory force, with Letter Carrier John F. McElroy represented the local mem bers at the recent convention.

TREASON IN CAMP
 OF SUFFRAGETTES

London, April 26-A rift between the Women's Social and Political Union, the organization of the militant suf- fragettes, and it's American members, is indicated by the summoning of a court martial composed of Gen eraI' Mrs. Flora Drummond, acting as judge advocate, and the cabinet" of the Women's Social and Political Union, sitting as judges, to try Mrs. Mary Ford. of New York, on a charge of alleged treason to the organization. The military features of the court were >alI in quite correct form with one exception-there was no means of compelling the attendance of the ac- cueed, who failed to appear.
 Mrs. Mary Ford later said she knew nothing of the charge, and did not expect to appear before the court. preferred by Gen. Drummond, were three:
 Failing to notify the Womens Social and Political union as to the exact hour of the release of Miss Ve- lie Emerson, of Jackson. Mich., which fact was within Mrs. Ford's know ledge and, being valuable to the or ganization, she was in duty bound to reveal it.
 2-The allegation that Mrs. Ford had told the American press represen- tatives in London that the Women's
  kidnapping of Miss Zelie Emerson from her mother.
 3+That Mrs. Ford had contraven- ed a strict rule of the Women's So- ciaI and Political union by announc- ing publicly that she had committed specific acts of militancy.
 In court today it was explained that this rule was a very important one and the record was pointed out, show ing that the only suffrag gettes who had ed while the others went scot free. This, it was said, indicated that the perpetrators Of militant acts while g1orying in their jail records. did not talk about their specific deeds.
 In reciting these facts, which she claimed were proven by a sheaf of clippings from American papers which she waved aloft, Gen. Drummond denounced the American woman as a traitor
 When informed of the charges brought against her Mrs. Ford de- clared she knew nothing of them and that she believed herself to be on the most friendly terms with the organi- zation which she had been assisting by voluntary work in it's press bureau.
 Mrs. Ford ridiculed the second charge, stating that she had not in formed anyone of such plot. which she herself was unaware existed.
 General Drummond declared that the militant organization is filled with spies, no less than six of its mem bers, one of whom is American woman being agents of the Scotland Yards police headquarters.

That men are the real idealists and women the materialists, popular con captions to the contrary, seems to be the opinion of Robert Herrick, the University of Chicago professor who has of late years gained wide fame and popularity as a novelist. This contention runs through all of Prof. Herrick's novels, especially his lat est works, '"The Healer and "One Woman's Life.'' The latter, by the way, bears a resemblance in idea and title to Maupassant's greatest novel, ''Une Vie," although the plot is dis similar.
 In The Healer we have a man possessed of a great gift that raises him above commercialisrn, a natural liberty-Ioving made who Is impatient of the conventions, and who hungers for a life in the Canadian forest, far from the beaten track. The wife, en- amored of what MT. Herrick calls the double-lamned responsibility of Su- burbia- a-Philistina,' sought to bend her husband to her will. She sighs for the intimate solitude of those honey moon days in the Cana dian wilderness, alone with her man, and clings des- perately to the ''sodden comforts of the city suburb. And this is woman nature, says the Professor,-" to jap herself in comfort and dream of the stars
 In his latest novel, "One Woman's Life,'' Prof. Herrick falls short of his usual standard, and is merely pleas ing without being strong. Yet the story deals interestingly with a com mon type of woman-the daughter of a bourgeois family who longs to be in society and who, after her marriage to a newspaper artist, attempts to put up a better front than their if nancial circumstances will permit.

One of the best works dealing with the problems of immigration and Ia Dor in recent years is the production of Dr. Isaac A. Hourwich, who was born in Russia fifty-three years ago to-day. This eminent Jewish econo- mist and statistician was educated at the University of St. Petersburg and at the Academy of Medicine and Sur gery in the Russian capital Aban- doning medicine for the law, he was admitted to the bar in Russia in 1887. Four years later he emigrated to America, and was admitted to the Chicago bar in 1893, and to the New York bar in 1896. Since 1900 he has devoted himself to statistical labors
