CIVIL SERVICE TO
WAR ON BOARD

schoolhouse. The city did not own the
building and some time afterwards
discontinued schooling at that site.
This left Mr.. Palmer without posi-
ton
He had his name placed on the pre-
ferred list of the commission. About
five months ago there was an OPEN
ing for a position as Janitor of the
Hawkins Street School Mr.. Palmer
Commission certified that he was the
one to get the place, as he was on
the preferred list.
In spite of this the Board of Ed
ucation then named a man by the
name of Bernard n. Wilde. The APP
pointee was only third ON the eligi-
BILE list This action by the Board
of Education reused the ire of the
State association They appealed to
the State commission.
The matter was in turn handed
over to Colonel Fordyce. Mr.. For
dyce investigated the matter and re-
ported his findings to the association.
According to his report Mr.. Palmer
was the man to be named.
The Board of Education was COM
municated with in an effort to settle
the matter without causing trouble.
For several months the board never
replied to the communications of the
commission.
Then Colonel Fordyce made
formal demand for an explanation.
After another delay, the board de-
clared that Mr.. Palmer was not nit
for the place. Then this matter was
investigated by both the State COM
mission and association. Palmer was
declared fit"
AS a result of the investigation, it
was declared he should have received
the appointment. These findings were
then forwarded to the Board of Edu-
cation. The reply came back that
Palmer could not properly attend to
a steam boiler such as was used In
the public schools.
The association then sent Palmer
over to Stevens Institute in Hoboken.
There he was put through atthorougn
examination. Here again ne was
given certificate stating that he was
well qualified to take care of boilers.
This point scored by the associa-
ton and commission gave them
grounds upon which to fight The
board was then told to give a COM
plete report on the case.
According to the statements of
both mem bers of the commission and
association, the Board of Education
never replied to these requests. Mr..
Palmer. who is backed by the State
association and civil service authori-
ties, will either be reinstatead as
janitor, or the matter will be aired
in court.
Mr. Quackenbush for the last week
has been collecting data which he
will turn over to Mr.. Fordyce. The
appointment of Mr.. Palmer is only
one of a number of violations by the
board, according to Mr.. Fordyce. He
declares that the board, time after
time, has kept him in hot water and
in the end had to undo things which
were ordered by the State Civil
Service Commission in the begin
ming
The matter will be aired at the
teachers committee meeting to be
held next Tuesday evening. It is ex-
pected that representatives Of both
the association and commission will
be on hand to take care of Palmer's
cause.

WILSON AND MEXICO
[From the Philadelphia Ledger.l ]

(From the Philadelphia Ledger1
The statement of the administration s
purposes is the most alarming pro-
nouncement ever made by an Ameri-
can President. He proposes, it ap-
pears, to introduce and establish in a
foreign nation the complete SOW
ereignty which we are pledged to re-
Spect, a new system of land tenure
on scale never before attempted in
history. He proposes to take the land
from those who have come into pos
session of it lawfully and legally and
to divide it up among the unlanded
masses. Were he to attempt in this
country what he plans and demands
for another country. in the internal
affairs of which he is an intruder, his
impeachment or revolution would i'm
mediately follow.
The nobility of his purpose is beside
the question. He is clothed with no
authority to do what he is doing Our
Constitution could not give him such
authority. 1t could not make him
overload of the world. The defense of
our property rights, the protection of
our citizens. the upholding of the
national honor, the vindication even of
civilization can justify occupation of
Mexican soil, but when our interfer-
.ence is predicated on deliberate de-
sign to overturn the laws of Mexico,
to revise its constitution, to define its
domestic policies, to strip it of SOW
sereignty under the guise of humani-
tarianism, we embark upon an adven-
ture that Is internationally wanton ag-
gression and is domestically an over
turning of our own established insti-
tutions and jurisdiction. 1t means that
the power of the nation is being
abused, and that the President is de-
liberately exercising authority that he
does not lawfully possess.

SAVING THE BABJES

"HE city health bureau has be.
gun an extensive campaign to
\ reduce the infant mortality in
Harrisburg and as part of the
educational program DIR. ]. M. j,
Raunick will issue pamphlets to moth
ers on the proper care of the child.
Every mother who has the health
of her little one at heart-and what
mother has not-should study these
expert suggestions until she has mas
tered them. In the first place DIR.
Raunick states that every man and
every woman owes it to the children
of the future to lead a clean life that
every baby may be we'll born. The
health officer gives everybody food
for thought when he says "the babys
choice of parents is not its own"
Dr. Raunick urges further that
every Harrisburger should do his part
toward raising the standard of home
life that every child may be given a
good place to live as part of it's birth
right. Filthy houses, it is pointed out,
are due to nothing more or less than
laziness. Personal. uncleanliness, dirty
cellars, backyards and alleyways, un-
covered garbage cans, unwashed
dishes. the common towel and the
family drinking cup are Just a few
of the things warned against permit
ting in the home. No one will deny
that these are sins against home pur-
ity that any person so minded can
correct.
One thing that is soundly rapped
in the health bureaus suggestions is
alcoholism. Rum, declares the ply
sician, is one of the chief contribu-
tory causes of infant mortality. Baby
saving and prohibition, apparently.
go hand in hand.

SPRUCING UP

A LII over the city property owners
"A and housekeepers are "sprucing
\ up" for the summer season.
New sidewalks are being laid,
painters are busy, planting is going
on and there is a general cleaning up
in every section of Harrisburg. This
is as it should be in a city which
stands as an eXemplar for up-to-date
and progressive municipalities.
Heads of all the important depart
ments of the city are busy with the
summer plans and owing to the fore
handedness of the local authorities
hundreds of men who would otherwise
be idle are now employed.
With the full resumption of work on
the Front Steps of Harrisburg"--the
river wall-many more men will be
given employment and altogether the
Improvements of the city mean work
for many who would otherwise be
without employment this summer.
Those who have not yet considered
improvement of their properties, even
in small way, should remember that
in doing whatever they contemplate in
this direction at the present time they
are providing employment for the un-
employed as well as placing their
houses and grounds in good shape for
the year.
