EVASION
AGAIN of Civil Service Laws is
about to Be Made by Viii
sons Administration.

WASHINGTON, d. c., April 10
Leonard II. Jones is postmaster at
Sabraton, W. Va. He has held that
position for several years. On Jan
uary 10 lastan examination was held
for the purpose of selecting his sue
cessor. Mr.. Jones took the examfna
ton. He was the only person who
took it. He passed with a rating Of
~ per cent But Mr.. Jones is Re
publican, and the male members of his
family are very active in behalf OF
that party in county politics. For po-
litical reasons the Democratic leaders
in that county wanted him oNsted. To
further that desire another eXamina-
ton has been ordered held. This case
is just a sample of innumerabIe ones
of its kind showing how it is done,
and Just what the civil service laws
and regulations amount to under the
present administration. Congressman
Sutherland has gone to the department
with a protest, but Republican con-
gresham stands little chance of get
ting any hearing in a case of this kind.
The honor of being the first to get
a piece of LEGISLATION of national scope
passed by the present Congress and
signed by the president goes to Con-
gresham Sutherland. A bill by him
giving the postmaster general au-
thority to settle with postmasters
whose Offices have been robbed OF
stamps, etc, passed both houses and
was signed by President Wilson just
prior to his departure for. White Sui
phur Springs. w. Va to remain over
Easter. Other busisess transacted
trough the Sutherland Office is the es-
tabIishment Of a new star route from
Skelts to Picke1s, six deliveries a
week, the re-establishment of the post
Office at Skelts, and increased PEN
sions for Elhu Brown and Kersey

To Ask Many Removals.

Whether Mr.. Osborne will recommend
the removal of John H. Carlisle, Highway
Commissioner. is a moot question In
spite of all the charges against him. no
evidence has been given to directly con-
meet him with any Of the alleged wrong
doing in the department. The worst that
has been said against him is that he
placed too much confidence in men under
him.
Osborne will probably recommend the
remova9of many heads Of bureaus in the
department and other employees. Officlai
Albany has been taken by surprise by
the disclosures involving several of these
officials in their relations TO contractors
and It is now believed that they are slated
