ATTACKS The DIPLOMATIC CORPS
Says It Ought to Be Abolished and
Civil Rules Only Needed to Make
Monarchy of the American Re-
public. n y'ss, az .s,..

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-Dehanee
of administrator disapproval of the
postoffice appropriation bill because
the provisien exemptihg all the 2,4OO
assistant postmasters in the country
from civil srviee, was voiced in the
house debate on that measure by
Representative Moon, of Tennessee,
chairman of the postoffice committee.
He attacked the American diplomat
ic corps as 'superHuous appendage
to the republic" and a gang of polit-
ieal reprobates and society degener-
ates that we ought to wipe out of ex-
istehce." .,lr.-' 3D. 49,, -
Mr.. Moon said he had received a
letter from Postmaster General Bur
Lesson saying the President did Not ap-
prove the section regarding assistant
postmasters
This committee 10 not here to bow
to the will of the President or of the
postmaster general on a question on
which they differ" he said. ''No
domiAaiion of the postmaster general
or threat of veto from the Presideht
ought to swerve us from the course
we believe to be right, THE views
of the President and postmaster gen.
eral, however much I respect them,
certainly will not control me in my
vote" sE.- s'- 81
Suggesting the possibility of over
riding a Veto of the bill, Mr.. Moon
said he Would have none but demo.
Gratis on guard In the administration
Of the government. IF you wanted
to make a monarchy of *he repub-
lfc," he added, "all yo5 would have
to DO would be to ae3piy the civil SER
vice to congress, the President and
his cabinet"
Representative Moon declared the
consular Service of all republicans
covered into the civil service. "No
man who is not worth into the the
millions of dollars can hold a position
| in one of the great courts or Europe
as ambassador or minister" he de.
clared. Must the leaders OF socie-
ty, with the false glare and glitter of
position, falsely represent the sentr.
ment of the American people?
your whole diplomatic corps, in
the interest Of economy, and good
government, ought to be abolished
they are Of the house of lords of the
United States. They form a distinct
class that scarcely pay any regard
to senators who vote their confirmai
tons when once they have approachi
ed the throne of royalty" he said

The discussion OF the Du0get lot
the coming year, the swearing of the
board for the new year and the pass
ing of the old board, the reading OF
the reports of the city's financial at.
fairs, and the mayors resume of the
work of the year 1913, were among
the principal features of one of the
most interesting meetings of the
members of the present Board of
mayor and aldermen.
/ There was a discussion of a raise
of $40 per month in the salaries Of the
police officers, and this was left in
the hands of the finance committee
! for a subsequent meeting,
! There was report from the street
committee that a rock erusher had
been purchased for the street build
ing department, and this is to be used
in crushing limestone to put on the
streets in building and repairing.
The fire committee reported that
the order of the authorities to have
removed or metal covered the stables
classed as dangerous in the rear of
the Knebel Jewelry Company and
Joe Ritt's store had net been complied
with, and a more stringent order was
issued with an arrest of the owners
or managers of the property contin-
gent upon a failure to comply.
The mayors report and resume of
the years work contained many items
of vital interest to the welfare OF the
city, and discussion of finances.
Among other things the mayor stat
ed that there had been saving of
$4,000 in the running expenses of the
