TAKE AWAY APPONTIVE POWER
Declares That as a Presidents Term
of Office Lengthens He Has Less

Fewer Jobs to Give Out.

Charlottesville, Va, Jan 2S-CW-
tailment of the presidents power by
extension of the civil service as a
means Of greater cooperation be
tween the executive and legislative
departments and the more economi-
cal administration of governmental
affairs, was advocated here tonight
by former President William Howard
Taft in an address at the University
of Virginia
The speaker called attention to
what he said was the waste Of the
presidents time and the consump-
tion of his nervous vitality because
of congressional intercession as to
local appointments. He declared
that opposition to the proposed
change was predicated upon a belief
that by the present custom represen-
tatives and senators can maintain
local political organizations which
will assist them to he reelected
The effect of the present power
of appointment upon the presidents
prestige and control in congress,
Mr.. Taft said. is shown in the grad
ual impairment Of his influence with
members of congress as his term
| iengthens and the offices that he has
to fiji become fewer in number. This
is true OF the most popular Of presi
dents. 1t is sad but true.
Appointments except in the more
important offices ought to be in
some practical way removed from
| the presidential duties.
Annually for four years recon-
mended that congress change the
method of appointing the postmas-
ter. collector of internal revenue and
collector of customs by removing
the necessity for confirmation by the
senate, promising that if this were
done would put all these Officers
under the classified service. But my
urgent recommendation fell upon
deaf ears
Mr. Taft went on to say that the
present system Of appointment helps
to strengthen local machines and
the bosses and added

tending for the abolition Of bosses
and the suppression of machines III
congress would show the faith and
sincerity that ought to be in them

the cause which they so loudly pro
claim by passing the law to which

would be a test of their sincerity.

WAR SUM M AIRY

The heavy fighting in the west

and was contemporaneous with
Emperor Williams birthday,
seemingly again has deteriorated
into the sporadic artillery duels
and infantry attacks which had
prevailed until the approach OF

Paris in its latest communica-
ton reports cannon and rifle en-
gagements in the vicinity of
Zonnebeke, on the Aisne, in the
Argonne forest and in Alsace,
but in none OF them is any claim
made except that the French
everywhere held their ground
against the offensive Of the Ger
mans.

Russians evidently have been at
strong grips and if the report
should prove correct the Aus
trians have been checked,

ward in Gahcia Russian Poland,
and East Prussia and of the com
batants between the Russians

mishes, calm prevails along the
entire fighting front.
A Paris newspaper asserts that
Archduke Charles Francis, the
Austro heir apparent, had a long
interview with Emperor Francis
Joseph on the archduke's return
from the German military head
quarters and connects this story
with the previous rumor that
the Austrian ruler is arranging
to abdicate.

SPLENDID SERVICES
At BAPTIST CHURCH
YESTERDAY

At the First Baptist Church on
Sunday, each service was full of en-
thlsiasm and the spirit of loyalty.
In Sunday School forty teachers were
present; one absent on account OF
sickness in family. In the Junior De-
partment the opening exercises were
made interesting and helpful by a
! talk given by Mrs. A. B. Carrier on
Cleanliness. This was a plea to
! the Juniors to live clean within and
without. The heart. the fountain
from which proceed evil thoughts
age civic pride.
At the morning. services there was
large congregation who listened
earnestly to each word Rev. Wear
spoke His text from lisa. 6O:30,
arise and shine, for the light is
come. and the glory of the Lord is
upon thee" The darkness of sin,
in opposition to the light that
shines on the Christians pathway.
The call to shine that we may re-
feet the glory of Christ were
thoughts in this fine sermon that
would make a nearer pause and con-
slider his ways. The church's great
mission to lead men to Christ. often
hampered by lack of equipment. The
question of the willingness of Gods
people to aid in this work was the
introduction to the meeting of the
membership to consider an addition
to the church.
Plans of the interior and exterior
were shown and the great oppor-
tunity that knocks at our doors. and
the great need at this time of more
space were outlined by the pastor.
BY the liberal and generous con-
tributions the addition became an
assured fact.
! Mrs. Cason sang at the morning
service that beautiful hymn "Just
\ For To-day" each word of which
| was a prayer as sung by this sweet
voiced singer At the evening ser
vices there was an immense con-
gregatiOn. Rev. Wear preached on
the plan of Salvation. Repentance
and Faith the only Guarantee to
Eternal Life" There were four ad-
1itions to the church one of these

service the Philathea class, who
formed the choir sang Where He
Leads Me, Will Follow" The
Earaca class sat in body facing
tie Baptistry and sang "Ie Is So
Precious to Me- Several of the
candidates for baptism were from
these two classes one from the
Sunbeam band
Very rarely is witness ed more
beautiful baptism than this one, and
thus closed one OF the great days in
the Baptist church. Another mile
stone on the way of progress; an

will lead on to greater work for our
