Washington Letter.
tFrem Gee. W. summer..l

Washington, Nov. 18.-"Don't let
the post Offices get away from you by
default. and don't let the Republicans
beat you to them" is. in effect, the adj
vice of Senator w. E. Chiffon to the
Democrats of West Virginia, who have
ambitions to serve the federal govern
ment and to assist in the handling of
the mails. His advice also includes a
warning against growing impatient be-
couse any special Office remains un-
acted upon.
Senator Chiffon and Congressman
Nicely and Brown feel very keenly
their inability under present laws and.
regulations to secure postmasterships
any more rapidly than they are now do.
ing. but the federal laws and the adj
ministration's policies, which are much
more broad and liberal towards Demo-
Gratis than were those of preceding adj
ministrations. preclude them from NOV
ing any faster. or along different lines.
While there are four classes of post
masters, they are appointed in three
different ways The first, second and
third class post offices are those which
pay $1,000 year or more in salary.
They are all in the presidential class
and the postmaster are appointed by
the President and confirmed by the
Senate The fourth class offices, of
which there are twenty times as many
in West Virginia as there are of the
presidential class, are divided into two
kiEds, as far as appointments are con-
cerned. All fourth class postmasters
receiving annual salary of $3.50 or more
must take the civil service txamina-
ton before being appointed. while
those receiving less than $3.50 yeAr
are appointed on the recommendation
of post office inspector. So far as
| possible, outside of the letter class. the
recommendation of the Congressman
from a district is the postmaster gener-
ais guide in appointing fourth class
| pt,stmasters under civil service regu!a-
lions and the Presidents guide, In APP
pointing postmasters of the first three
classes. in districts that.are not repre-
scented by Democrats the recommends
ton of the Democratic Senator from
| the State IL the guide to both President
and Postmaster General.
The applicant for an Office to be filled
underG ecivil service regulations must
apply TO the Civil Service Commission
for bIanks,*and take the examination.
IF be passes he is placed on an eligible
list. from which the postmasters are Sc

tion and eligible list for each office,
After one gets on the eligible list. Sena-
tor Chiffon or Congressman Nicely in

Brown in the second can help him, but
none of them can be of assistance to
him till he takes and passes the exami-

Winter Protection For Young Trees

MANY farmers and orchardists suffer
unnecessary losses every winter by in
jury done to young trees by mice, rab-
bits and other rodents" said Prof. E,
G. Auchter. Of the College Of Agricul-
ture, West Virginia University, in
speaking of the preparation for winter
which should be made In the orchard.
Simple protectors made Of any thin
stiff material like heavy wrapping pa
per or veneer wood, when placed around
the trunk of the tcee and pressed firm
" into the ground will prevent all
trouble of this kind in the great major
ity of cases and are so inexpensive that
one cannot afford to take chances on
injury which may kill the trees and
render futile he care given during the
previous half dozen years.

Eve thousand individual bank reserves
would be eliminated. The disadvantage
Of the present pyramidinR of bank reser-
yes would be done away with. A note is
sue would be created which would ex-
pand and contract in accordance
with commercial needs.
Our present locking up Of re-
serve money is uneconomic, in that
banks carry larger reserve so locked
up than would be necessary under pro-
per banking system. The new plan
would permit generous expansion,
based on our existing reserves, but L
believe would carry with it sufficient
powers of control to prevent it running
to dangerous limits"
1t is only good business for the
banks to be preparing to. comply
with the requirements for sub
scription to the regional banks to
be created under the new law.
In common fairness the two per
cent bonds on which National
bank note circulation is based
shonld be put on a parity.
This is one of the small amend
ments which. will doubtless be
made when the bill goes to con-
ference and other minor adjust
ments will also then be taken
care of.
But in the main the bill is so
just and so necessary to the bust
ness prosperity of the county
that no interest," however power
full, can do more than delay its
passage, and it is now patent that
a tactical blunder will be made
by those who misjudge the conf
dence of the people in President
Wilson ana his policies should
they endeavor to further attempt
to enlbarrass the administration
in its effort for relief from the
admittedly bad currency system
under which business is now
hampered.

First West Virginia district, had his
first experience today in presiding over
the house of representatives. At the
request of Speaker Champ Clark, NJ.

with the spe ker today. when he will
discuss probable committee assignments
and other matters of interest in his

formation to the standpatters who so
devoutly tried to impress upon the vo-

Silver is from Berkeley, Hampshire has

give it to Jefferson without fuss or

because she presents such a man as

From the information conveyed
in a Washington letter this week
it is evident that the Civil Service
while theoretically in the inter
est of. good governments under
tile present methods of operation.
hypocritica1 sham. and a farce.
The statement was recently
made, without contradiction on the
floor Of the House Of Representa-
tives that during the 1ast@Repub-
lican Administration ninety-fue
per cent Of Civil Service appoin-
tees were Republicans, and
large percentage of them were
negroes at that.
Will any canting Civil Service
Reformer CD try to maintain
that the Democratic party-a
White mans party at that-con-
tains only five per cent of the in
telligence of the country
Where Civil Service is honestly
and impartially administered, as
in most European countries for
instance, it naturally operates in
favor of efficiency and economy
in the public service
But in the United States 1t has
often been madeza cloak to cover
incompetents into office and keep
them there to the exclusion of
ADLER men who have not the ear
of the sycopllants who manipu-
late the system for their own ag-
grandizement.
When Congress gets ready for
a Civil Service house cleaning it
might well begin at the fountain
head-and ascertain if the Civil
Service is not run on Republican
partizan<1ines and is not out of
sympathy with the aims and poll
c1es of Woodrow Wilson and his
advisers.
True, the Democratic party
stands pledged to Civil Service
but honest, impartial civil service.
Not the kind of underhand
r1anoeuvering to the detriment
of good government that is max
ing the whole system 1na1odorous.
