Young America may find cause for
reflection in the passing Of "Rube"
Waddell, the greatest character base
ball has known in a score Of years.
When he was at the height of his
game he was peerless. But a few
years ago he was on the pedestal
now occupied by Walter Johnson.

Of the most powerful magnets our

But the magnificent physique was
ruined and wrecked through diss; pa

dell weighed 1875 pounds; when he
breathed his last he had faded to but

After two-thirds of wear, during
which he has looked after a most
difficult. eNacting, and almost I'M

doubtless needs the rest.
Mr.. Lind is presumed to have
given exactly the service President
Wilson wanted in Mexico. He has
given something else. TOO; an ex-
ample of man holding his tongue

breaks. He has avoided talking with
q persistence and a success that have
saved him fror: all embarrassments
that might have grown out Of even
tho mildest tendency TO loquacity.
The necessity for gag rules would

statesmen would adopt the Lind

WASHINGTON'S CONSO-

1t is TO be remembered that
Washington will be the real head
quarters Of the new Bank of the
United States. The Federal reserve
beard will have its general estab-
lishment here, and here it will unity
and coordinate the workings of the
dozen regional reserve banks scat
tered about the country. Washing
ton will be Just as big in the new
currency system as it has been in
the old one, just as dominating d
center as its place as National CapI-
tai inevitably must make ii.
Washington is disappointed at not
having a regional bank located here:
there was q good argument in favor
Of establishing at the seat Of gov
ernmcnt one of the regional irstitu-
tions, Immediately under the eye and
observation of the reserve board.
But the conflicting and complex con-
ditions that rad need TO be met rem
dered it impossible thus to deter

The joint committee of the National
Assembly of Civil SNvice Commissions
and the National Civil Service Reform
League continued their sessions today
in the office of John r. Doyle, secre-
tarv of the United States Civil Service
Commission.
While it was stated that much time
was devoted to the consideration of the
plan for a model civil service Law, en-
bodying the essential principles OF i
practical merit system, the sessions
were secret. and no announcement as
to the conclusions of the committee will
be made prior to the report which will
be submitted to the National Assembl Y
Of Civil Service Commissions in Pueblo.
Colo, June II to 13.
At this convention, representatives
will be present from the nine States
that have adopted civil service laws,
and from more than 80 cities that are
similarly governed in the allotment of
patronage. The session OF the joint
committees now in session here was
called to consider questions that will be
extensively discussed in the Pueblo con-
VcEtion.

The woman's department of the

mental principle Is to further the
common cause for all, and never to
interfere with, or duplicate the work
OF others. II often is the connecting
link between employe and employer.
be the latter the United States Gov
ernment or private concern: IT
looks upon neither one nor the other
as privileged beings whose interests
should be especially looked after. and
consequently it maintains a position
OF absolute neutrality, and. because
of this unique position, its strength
is daily increasing in the community.
This department is a clearing house
where questions Of interest to women
can be argued and conclusions ar
rived at. A center where other or
ganizations can come for informa-
ton and cooperation; a channel by
means Of which duplication of work
is eliminated and consequently much
expense saved.
The District of Columbia section,
under its able chairman, Mrs. Arcni-
bald Hopkins, has in three years
done such good and well-known
work in the Federal buildings of
Washington, that II hardly need be
mentioned here. OF more recent date
are the measures now before Con-
gress for the abolition, in time, of
the alleys, and the establishment of
social and civic centers in the
schools, Miss Margaret Wilson being

project.
