In spite of President Wilson's reaf-
firmation of his warm advocacy and
support both of the principle and OF
the bOna.fide practice Of civil-service
REFORM" In the memorandum accom-
panying his signature of the Urgent
DeGcieny bill, friends of the merit sys-
tenn the country over will feel both
regret and alarm at his action in the
matter. The bill repeats. by the vic
ious process OF a rider all the pro-
visions Of the Act of 1883 and Of all
subsequent civil service reformm acts
50 far as they may relate to the APP
pointment or removal OF deputy col
iectorS Of intelna! revenue and deputy
marshals who are required to give
bond for the faithful performance OF
their duty. That the President has
power nevertheless, of his own mo-
ton to place all or any part of these
offices under the protection Of the
merit system rules is true enough; but
the continuance of the system ought
not to be dependent upon the good
will of the President for the time
being. There is no danger" says Mr..
Wilson, that the spoils principle will
creep in with my approval or county,
ance': but merely personal guaran-
tee is far from adequate compensation
for a backward step taken in the law
itself. And over and above the i'm

II Sulzer had been clean!

With but few exceptions, the COM
mercial bodies of North Dakota are
preparing for an especially active sea-
SON. Methods of farming, the educa-
hon of the soil tiller, city improve
ments, all are being exploited, and
.>orth Dakota bids fair to make the
greatest strides forward in her history,
in the next twelve months. Valley
City has been progressive III the past,
Bet the Commercial club leaders get
together now, and lay plans for the
coming winter and spring, befor: they
are upon us. The Corn Show, Old
Settlers meetings and many other
events will bring together thousands
Of farmers and residents of the small
az towns of the county. Upon the
asardiality with which these visitors
are welcomed, will depend much of the
good impression of Valley City that

BACK TO THE SPOlLS SYSTEM.

The above heading appears over a
Washington dispatch to the New York
Evening Post, which was an original
Wilson man" and has been very friend
ly to his administration. The dispatch
begins: Slowly but surely the Demo
Gratis in Congress are working into the
foundations of the civil-service struc-
ture. The Urgent Deficiency Bill, as
reported by the Senate, contains pro-
vision removing from the classified
service United States deputy marshals
and deputy collectors of internal reve-
nue."
The significance of this lies in the
circumstance that it appears coinci-
dentally with reports that Mr.. Wilson
is considering plan to embark the
Government extensively in the tele-
phone business.
The two things never will work to-
gether. The Government can operate
telephone and telegraphs-and rail-
roads, for that natter-on business
principles. 1t cannot operate them on
spells principles, except at a cost that
would make the experiment national
calamity. The busy little grafters in
both Houses of Congress, who distri-
butte public offices as rewards for poll
tical service, fairly foreclose the Fed
eral Government from some fields that
it might enter successfully but for
them. So long as the public service is
burdened with this patronage graft an
extension of that service to new fields
may well be viewed with alarm-Sat-
urday Evening Post.

NORTH DAKOTA ENFORCEMENT
LEAGUE.

In keeping with the larger program
the North Dakota Enforcement Lea
que has secured the services of Rev.
c. B. Kepford of Jamestown, North
Dakota, who has accepted the posi-
ton of assistant superintendent and
began work for the league November
list. Rev. Kepford and family have
resided at Jamestown for several
years and are most highly spoken Of
and we believe we have found in him,
one fitted for the actual law enforce
ment work. He will assist in the fin
ancial campaign to begin November
LIST in which $4,000 is to be raised
for the enlarged program for 1914.
When this amount is raised there
will be four men and an office secre-
tary on the league force, which will
enlarge the working capacity of the
league many times.
Mr.. Kepford carries credentials
signed by the superintendent and we
ask the heartiest cooperation with
him, by all friends of the cause. Be
cause of the increased expense of the
larger program we urge that all sub
scribers send in the amount due.

UNITY OF EFFORT.

The following from the Lankin Re-
porter hits the nail sQuarely on the
head, and applies equally we'll to ev-
cry community in North Dakota, large
or small The Reporter says:
Town and country people togeth-
er can do q great deal for this COM
n1usity that neither could do alone.
Better by far that all the money
and efforts Of our community be
combined and concentrated in pro-
aueiag the highest efficiency in COM
nuaity affairs than that they be so
divided and scattered as to result in
p,ediocrity or in total failure.
The farmer must give his undi-
yidsd support to the town institu-
,ioas to which he looks for service
of any kind; the mercnant also in
planning and management Of village
Institutions must give consideration
10 the needs and wishes Of the far
Mer.
Our public institutions must be
80 organized and so conducted as to
merit and receive this undivided sup
port and patronage of the entire pop
slation, as well as serve with equal
effectiveness all members of the COM
munity.
community wealth must be used
for community service. The inclina-
ton in some quarters to separate the
Interests of the country from those
NJ the town is short sighted and only
temporary. More mature considera-
ton and only little experience will
CHOW it's folly.
"Let us but understand each other
sgud the situation in which we are
pfaced and we shall at once realize
s.sat we are all aiming at the same
marx. seeing single end-to make
This, our home town and community,
enterprising, progressive and pros
porous. Let us pull together, and
NOT apart"
Clear and commanding stands out
one great lesson from the Sulzer case.
II Sulzer had been clean and honest,
as he was ambitious, not even the
crooked manipulations of Murphy and
rammany could have pulled him down
from the governorship. Nothing the
Boss and his gang of grafters devised
aould have checked his pursuit of the
criminals who robbed the state. The
sorGlid story Of crime and pillage,
whose first chapters have been sketch
ed in outline by John Hennessy, could
have been continued uninterrupted to
its close. 1t could have been verified
by sworn testimony and unassilable
evidence in the courts. The crooks
and the rascals could have been
brought to book for their crimes. The
prisons where they belong would have
taken them home. New York state
would have been cleaned up and a
new inspiration would have been Civ
ell to public men and to private citi-
ems throughout the United States-a
aew impetus to the forward movement
in politics, a now faith in the efficacy
