On Mixing In
Politics.

Washington, Oct. 10.-Civil ser
vice employees in Kentucky and all the
other states have just been warned
by the Civil Service Commission in
regard to their activity and relation
to political work. The warning
printed on red paper so as to EN-
phasize its importance, has been sent
to all the governmental offices.
In II extracts are set forth from
the civil service law forbidding Fed
eral officers and employers to take
active part in political campaigns"
to use any form of political coercion
or to consider recommendation of
any APPLICANT for office which is used
in the way of political influence.
Care is taken to define "active
part in political management of po-
litical campaigns"
Persons in the competitive classi-
fled service, while retaining the right
to vote as they please and to express
their opinions privately on political
subjects, are not permitted to serve
in any capacity at a political con-
vention, address such a meeting or
make any motions during its progress.
Giving any public expression of po-
litical views or taking any part in
any political discussion while on
duty or in public places also is for
hidden. ANY connection, editorially
or financially, with a political news
paper or the wearing of a political
badge or button while on duty is
prohibited.
No person in the public service,
the warning states, is under any
obligations to contribute to political
funds or render political service. No
person in the service has any right
to use official influence to coerce
the political action of anybody.
A recommendation in favor of an
application for position coming from
q member of Congress must be con-
sidered only in respect to the charac-
ter or residence of the applicant.
Question on application blanks or
In examinations must not ask in
formation as to the applicants re-
ligious opinions and these same
opinions can carry no weight in an
attempt to secure a position.

Trade RIGHTS of NeutrnIs.

A very interesting question has
