EVEN THE SUN STANDS STILL
[From the HARRISBURG PATRIOT.

tFrom the Harrisburg Patriot1
It is really remarkable to note how
small is the interest displayed in the
European war when the citizens
gather at the fairs and picnics, COM
pared with the intense interest mani
tested in the effort to clean the State
of the political barnacles that have
fastened themselves upon It. If there
has been any fear that the attention
of the citizens intent upon securing
more decent political conditions at
home might be distracted by the STIR
ring events across the water. 1t may be
put aside.

Take the train and spend a day
At some County Fair.

That you ought to go,

SLAP AT CIVIL SERVICE

1.-THE Moon bill, just passed by the
Democratic House and now be-
i fore the Senate, is a severe slap
at the principles of civil service.
Indeed, it is the hardest of the many
blows that the Democrats have struck
at the merit system since they went
into office, pledged to fair play and
the continuance of a policy that was
one of the cardinal principles of that
really great Democrat, Grover Cleve-
land.
The Moon bill provides for civil SER
vice examinations for all assistant
postmasters of the country who have
heretofore been under the civil SER
vice protection by order of the Presi-
dent. OF course, the purpose of the
bill is to give the Democrats oppor-
tunity to throw out experienced men
and put in political favorites
The assistant postmasters now in
office are experienced men. They have
proved their efficiency by doing their
duty we'll enough to be retained term
after term. Many of them know no
other line of work.
The Democrats have shown such
greed for office since they came into
power that they will not hesitate to
abuse the provisions of the civil SER
vice they are attempting to prostitute.
The Moon bill is to be the tool of
corruption in the hands of civil SER
vice examiners, whose political duty
it will be to see to it that all who will
not bow to the Democratic political
machine are thrown out of office and
replaced by Democrats green to the
work and inefficient. in many cases, in
order that political fences may be
strengthened.
If the Senate has a grain of decency
left it will kill this pernicious bill.
After to-day the Republican host, the
mobilization having been accomplished
according to a definite plan, will move
forward against the wavering lines of

COMMONS PASSES
HOME RULE BILL
Measure Becomes Law Upon
Signature by King George
-Asquith Wins Big Vic
tory.
az HERBERT TEMPLE.

LONDON, May 25.-The home rule
for Ireland bill was passed in the
house Of commons on the third and
final reading this afternoon by vote
of 351 to 274, a government majority
of II. The bill becomes a law upon
its signature by King George.
Home rule is now fact. There Is
no doubt that royal assent will be
given to the measure, In the regular
course OF events the home rule Dill
goes next to the house OF lords, out
the action Of the peers will have no
effect upon the measure. The powers
of the upper house of parliament were
DESTROYED by the act of parliament
providing that any bill having been
passed in three consecutive sessions
of combinations becomes law by
royal assent.
Today's passage of the home rule
bill is a tremendous personal victory
for Premier Herbert H. AsQuith, who
as pilot of the Liberal party. carried
the measure to victory after many
months of desperate parliamentary
struggle.
The intense interest in the session
of the house of commons was revealed
bv the great crowd that filled the gal
leries and overlooked into the corrl
doris. The galleries reserved for the
the foreign diplomats and the peers
were damned when Premier AsqultE
arose to make his statement for the
government
