CsENATOR SALISBURY Representative Broclson
~ and otter Democratic spoilamen who would like
10 break down the Civil Service being combatted
vigorously by the National Civil Service Reform League
of which Robert W. Belcher is secretary II has sent
10 each member of the House letter in which It urges
the elimination of the rider in the posoifce appro-
pration bill intended to assistant postmasters
in first and second class Offices from the competitive
classified service.
IL points out that the passage Of such provision
will st-ike ler.ous bio at the postal service by
throwing all the 2iOO assistant postmasters to
the spos system at time when the development
postal savings banks and rarcel post systems make
1t more than ever necessary that politics be eliminated
from the service. Il emphasizes the necessity for
trained expert force from assistants down. as
be obtained with tho entire subordinate force
appointed a merit basis The classification Of the
assistant posmastors the league shows gives every
subordinate chance to rise high place in the
fee on his merit alone and thus induces better men
to enter the service and incentive TO better
service.
The league contrasts this rider with the reoommen-
daton of President Taft that all posmasters be cass-
fed and with Postmaster Buresons statement
that he hopes second and third class postmas
ters put competitive basis. This rider is in fact
actually opposed by Postmaster Bureson as
blow at efficiency in the postonice department and
the league calls the proposal a slap in the face Of
the officials responsible the management of the de-
partment who desire to its business conducted on
an economical, efficient basis
In conclusion the league calls attention to the pledges
Of all principal parties in the last Presidential cleo
ton that they believed in the proper enforcement Of
the civil service law and characterzes this rider as
ruthless violation Of these pledges The rider viii be
recognized It plain attempt to get many val
uable Jobs TO political debts and as an utter dis
regard Of public interests.

sALIsBURY IS Being LIBELED.

From the Salisbury News.
The so-caled vice crusade which
seems to have Salisbury by the throat
lust at present has been handled with
little regard for the reputation or good
name of om city If one is TO Judge
from the reports in the newspapers of
Philadelphia and Baltimore, gross mis-
representations for the most part. it
would be easy to imagine that Salisbury
was a modern Sodom. The whole thing
has been grossly misrepresented and the
occasion has furnished an opportunity
for SOME people to get lot of cheap
reputation at the expense OF the city.
As matter of fact the whole present
agitation could have been averted if a
little common sense and little more
diligence had Deen practiced a year or
20 ago. The News on two or three occa-
casions called attention TO the fact that
the police of the city were not doing
their duty in enforcing the ordinances
against Illicit whiskey selling and
women soliciting on the city streets.
At that time there were a few cases
and strong hand placed on the viola
tors then would have caused but little
comment and would have averted all the
present agitation, which has given
Salisbury 80 much unenviable advertis-
ing.
The real conditions existing here to-
day are not in any sense what the city
newspapers or for that matter what
some of our own people try to make
them. Salisbury is as moral town as
any of its size in the country We are
no longer a village and our population
has changed from q zeal one a few
wears ago to a cosmopolitan one today
and with this change has come the
element which naturally drifts into
larger communities and cities. Taking
our population of today and comparing
it with the population OF ten or more
years ago and there is no more wee
in Salisbury now than then and we be-
lieve far less.

sAULsBURY,s WASHINGTON STATUS.

AT ASHINGTON advices which have appeared in our
news columns this week would seem to indicate
that if Senator Willard Salisbury of Delaware ever
occupied high place in the esteem of President Wilson
he has lost It. Following the Democratic victory in
1912 and the election of Salisbury the United
Senate early in 191S the leutenants the junior
stor here boasted that Salisbury would be the Pres
dents chief advisor matters OF public cy and also
his mouthpiece in the Senate. Such boasts appeared
TO 'e ridiculous to those who knew the mental and
other lin atons Of salisbury but they reiterated
with such postiveness by his henchmen that finally
thousands Of persons led to believe them. Nor
did salisbury do anything or say anything to curb
the ardor of those henchmen who we're preaching the
doctrine that the Wilson administration rested upon
salisbury foundation and that it devolved upon the
junior Senator from Delaware rather than upon the
President himself to make it a success.
The real ruta Of the matter is that Senator Sauls-
the work Of the Wilson administration So far as can
be asceraned the President not asked his advice
upon any important public question. There is no
denying that Senator Salisbury has called at the
White House several times since last April AS q
rule however such calls have brief and simply
marked the Senator's industry as a iob-hurter for
the benefit of political lieu in this State
It is matter of common knowledge in Wa Ellington
that when President Wilson wishes TO hold a confer
ence with men whom he believes to represent the
brains Of Congress he thinks Of summoning the
junior Senator from Delaware, who is looked upon
in the White House and in the several departments as
narrow-minded politician and patronage-hunteg
rather than hroad-minde statesman hose opinion
Is worth having when big issues are at take.

In this connection we wish to call public attention
70 the fact January 1913 the directors of the
Virginia Penitentiary, in Richmond, entered into

eght-hour day in the New Castle county contract
the difference is so great that it is deserving Of the
serious attention the public in general and of the

by .tself When in addition to that the county sup

There are many persons who are opposed to such

MILWAUKEE,, March 19.-Guests
Of the Windsor Hotel, numbering
nearly two score, were compelled to

ASSA|LS
GR|GCS FOR TALK
Referring to Speech on Cath
oIics, Clergyman Says 9th
ers "See Bugaboos."

PATERSON, March 19.-Rev.
Charles Schwelkert, pastor of the
Union Avenue Baptist Church, in an
address before the members of the
Bible class last night, took occasion
to attack the remarks embodied In
an address delivered by former Gov
ernor John W. Griggs at st. Pat
ricks day dinner of the John Mitchell
Club. Rev. Mr.. Schweikert said:
Attorney General Girggs talked of a
'bugaboo' being assailed by certain
citizens OF Paterson at recent din
ner. We wonder II 1t is only Mr.
Griggs who sees 'bugaboos.' There
are many people in the United States
who see something real and 1t cannot
be that all are deceived by this 'buga-
boo
1--WE resent the remarks of Mr.
GrIggs as reflection on the intelli-
gence of thousands of patriots In
America, who have brains enough to
distinguish between a real danger and
o 'bugaboo.
