CIVIL SERVICE GAINS STRENGTH

In spite OF the abuses at the hands, OF it. enemies and in spite #
the lack OF courage oi some uf its friend, and Supporters. the state civil
service system is steadily gaining in strength 1t vas not to be expect
ed that the system could be placed in operation without friction In
fact. as we pointed IL some time ago, any attempt 10 enforce seriously
the provisions OF the law was sure to meet with the opposition OF those
who had proGttcd by the old system. CunOu>ly enough it vas opposed
also and sometimes eve more srcnurusly by those who had no con-
necGon with the state government and 10 direct interest in politics
possibly because the credit Of the law had to be given to the present
state administration.
But in spite OF the opposition. within and without the state govern
mcnt, the law is winning it's way Steadily the various branches Of
the state government are being brought under the control of the civil
service. When employees of the state in various departments are need
ed, there is no longer a IN appeal to the political wire pullers but in
stead al examination under civil service rules is announced and the
place is filled rom the resulting list OF ehgib1es.
Gradually a list OF eligible, will be built up and in time all appoint
mcnts will be filed from those lists Afer = while the men in office
will learn that the civil service is their greatest protection from impor-
tuning friends Under the old system there we're six men for each job
and where II nn was pleased because he secured the job five others
said things about their former friend.
1t is barely possible that in time, the civil service will win the ap-
proval OF those confirmed spoEsmen who oppose the merit system on
principle, Our civil service is nOt and cannot be perfect, but it is a
long way ahead of that other system of filling places with partsans

"Marse Henry" Calls at the White
House.

Washington, October 1S.-Henry
Waterson, editor of the Lo :sville
Courier-J journal. called on President
Wilson at the white house today, fol-
lowing the example set two weeks
ago by George Harvey, former editor
of Harper's Weekly. The meetings
mark the end of the controversy be-
tween the president and the two
editors which arose during Mr.. Will
sons pre-nomination campaign for
the presidency.
After Mr.. Watterson's visit it be-
came known that the Manhattan
club controversy was discussed by Mr..
Watterson and William F. McCombs,
chairman of the Democratic national
committee, in Paris months ago,
when the editor expressed regret for
harsh words he used in statements
about Mr.. Wilson. Since then he has
exchanged letters with the president,
in which both expressed regret over
the controversy.
The presidents Mexican and for
eign policies were touched on briefly
at today's conference, and Mr.. Will
son explained the objects he is seek
ing to achieve.

From German Viewpoint.

These are mere incidents of which
l might relate any number. In view
Of the fact that one never reads any
thing but unkindness, nay even bru-
tality, of Germany in the newspapers
of her enemies, and that l never
saw or experienced anything but the
reverse in Germany, for the sake of
our sense of cosmopolitan fair play,
perhaps this reference may not be
out of place. l must, of course, limit
the applications of these remarks so
as not to include the actual fighting
zone, as of this l am not qualified to
speak.
l candidly do not believe that the
thinking part of the English people
give credence to the extravagances
which food their press. In any event,
at time when seven powers were
denouncing Germany as the enemy
of the human race" when she was
desperately busy with the terrific
task before her; when, in short, one
might naturally expect a display OF
only the rougher and less delicate
feelings, during all this time, the
great heart of her friendly people
could still beat in sympathy with the
Americans who were. so unfortunate
as to be caught there in time of war.
Germany, on the eve of ineXpressible
suffering, could find time to lament
our momentary inconvenience and
in the midst of infinite labor to pro-
vide for our every want. This, /
consider an honor to nations char
acter and an attitude which | could
not conscientiousy pass by without
