bureaus not under civil service protec

The fact that such policy was to be
pursued was revealed through the re-
quest from Secretary Of Commerce
Redtield for the resignation Of Oscar
p. Austin, assistant chief Of the bureau
of foreign and domestic commerce.
Mr.. Austin came into the department
in 1898, but he will sever his connec.
tons in compliance with the secre-
tary's request within a month
While Secretary Redfield is the only
member OF the cabinet who is known
to have already begun political house
cleaning it is said that the other heads
of the departments are prepared to fol-
low suit The entire task is expected
to lie completed within a month.
The explanation offered by politi-
clans believed to be in touch with the
situation for the inauguration of such
a policy at this particular time is that
President Wilson refrained from TAX
ing such step before, because he
desired first to assure the carrying
out of party pledges before he loosen
ed the strings on the patronage bag,
and is doing so now as a reward for
the support given him in his tariff and
currency fight.

Tie lack of funds from which the
democratic congressional campaign
committee now suffers is due to coup
sprung by Representative James R.
Mann, the republican floor leader who
demanded an investigation of the com
mittee's action in soliciting 500 con
trbutions on the capitol grounds from
democratic congressman. Such pro-
cedure is in violation Of the United
States penal code AS soon as Mr.
Mann introduced his resolution the
committee stopped soliciting and a
num- Der of $500 checks were returned
to representatives.

contests. The democratic margin of
control in the senate is so narrow that
the loss of one or two senators would
cripple that party. Intense interest

contests because they concern men of

Cut Patronage Strings.
The Wilson administration has at
last thrown off it's pretense of not fav-
oring the old time democratic spoils
system, and is preparing to dish out all
the best jobs in Washington now held
by the republicans.
Every republican that can be reach

Washington will soon feel the spoils-

hungry democrats are rejoicing
Within a month the political guillo-

in each of the federal departments in
Washington and elsewhere to make
way for democratic successors.

The conjurer asks members of his
audience to bind his hands behind him
after he has seated himself in a chair
among them. With his hands bound
securely. making 1t possible for him
to move but a few inches, he asks that
somebody take a ring from his or her
finger and place it in his teeth. Then
he asks that they place a screen before
him in order that the ring may not be
embarrassed in their presence.
This accomplished, he asks them
which of his fingers he shall make the
ring leap upon. OF course everybody
names a certain finger, and a moment
later he asks that he may be released,
when the ring is discovered resting
upon that finger. Here is the way the
trick is done. Immediately after you
have been placed behind the screen
lean slightly forward and permit the
ling to drop into your lap. Then slow
ly let it slip between your legs to the
chair. This must be done carefully or
1t will be heard as it drops. Then
raise yourself, push it back with your
body until it is within reach of your
fingers. After that it will be easy to
slip it on the proper finger.

The Original Vine Dressers.
While the entire nation of Israel is
represented by the vineyard, the hus-
bandmen were the religious leaders.
These vi~ne-dressers became conceited
and acted as if they were the wners
and not merely the Owners servants.
Even in their speech they became ac-
customed to call the people 'our peo-
pie" my people," etc. Thus they fail
ed to glorify God properly, and felt
themselves to be more than the serv-
ants of God, honored In being permit
ted to be vine-dressers in His vine
yard.
In due time the Owner, Jehovah.
sent His servants, the Prophets. to
Israel. These servants and their mes
sages became tests of the loyalty of
the v~ine-dressers and of the character
development of the people. But alas:
the vine-dressers' pride and desire to
show off before the people prompted
the mistreatment of the Prophets.
Some of the servants they beat, others
they stoned, others they killed.
Finally the Owner sent His Son.
The Bible informs us that God fore
knew that Israel's rulers vHuld cruel
fly the Son. But the parable states
the matter as though the Owner had
said, They will reverence My Son."
Surely the Jewish rulers should have
recognized Him of whom people de-
clared. "Never man spake like this
Man" Surely they should have heark-
ened to His Message. should have re-
pented of their sins and come back
through Him into harmony with God

prevail. their power. their influence.
their titles, their honors of men, would
fade.

AT0T only did the Redeemer teach
TX chiefly by parallels. but nearly
all of those parallels related
to the Kingdom. The reason
for this is plain. The Divine Plan
calls for the setting up of the Kingdom
Of Righteousness by Divine Power for
the overcoming of the Prince of Dark

years has been a Reign of Sin and
Death. Today's lesson points indirect

While the whole world lay in sin
and under Divine sentence of death,
God planted in the world a root of
Promise, a hope. This Promise, made
to Abraham. foretold that his seed
would eventually become very power
full and would cause Gods blessing to
fill the earth and roll away the curse.
In due time this Promise came to the
