OBSERVATIONS
By THE EDITOR I

The very hot weather Of the
past few days, coupled with forty
per cent cut in the Nsmpa- Msrld-
ian water, has made the farmers
feel a little bit nervous. but yester-
day a big rain came up, and the
crops can go without additional
water for ten days. Worrying
about future water supply re-
minds us of the story Jim Turner
tells Of the fellow who said: II
am an old man and have had a
good deal of trouble but the most
of the trouble never happened"

outsiders to come and trade and
that sends them home well salts

the town whose citizens work and

Wilson May Not Break Into
Civil Service Lines.
POLICY NOT DECIDED UPON
Administration Not Yet Ready to
Tackle Big Question.
PRESSURE BROUGHT TO BEAR
Postmaster General Burleson Not to
Disturb Capable and Efficient
Employees"

President Wilson and his cabinet have
not formulated a policy as to the propo-
sition to break into the civil service lines
as applied to fourth-class postmasters,
consular positions, a number of scientific
bureaus in Washington and elsewhere
and various other positions.
Consideration OF this big question must
go over until the administration gets well
on it's feet. The President is not to be
rushed into tampering with the civil serv-
ice because of the opportunities of office
seekers at the departments and the White
House.
Pomerene Is Besieged.
Senator Pomerene of Ohio, who has on
file in his ONCE. applications from 2,Vo
Ohio democrats who want jobs, asked
President Wilson to day what is to De
done as to fourth-class postmasters
and consular places. The President
stated that no policy had yet been de-
termined upon.

to be subjected to terrific pressure, II
became apparent today, and the cabinet
win early be called upon to aid the
President in deciding upon course, Al

occasions that the civil service generally
need have no fear of being knitted by
this administration.
Burleson to Go Slow.
Postmaster General Burleson said to-
day that. no appointments of postmasters
probably would be made before April i,
except possibly in cases of emergency.
Approximately 1900 such appointments
by Mr. Taft were not acted upon py the
last Senate. and 1t will be necessary Tor

to all these Offices.
