nfscREDITARlE TO
 REPuDIATE CIVIL SERVICE
Is Claim of President Farnarn of tIse
 State Civil Service Reform Aseoot4-

A Sftuas4Sn has arisen in Counecd- cut regarding which the members of tae Connecticut Civil Service Reform association should be informed, writes Henry w. Farnam of New Haven, president The legislature of 1913 passed a law applying the merit sys- tein to the bulk of the minor state o6oes Governor Baldwin appointed zr excellent commission, which has been acting for a little over a year and whose first report has just been issued Among the offices placed by the rules in the classified service are those of superintendent and assistant superintendent of the state capitol. This means that these men cannot be removed except for reasons given Tn writing to the commission and a aopy cf such reasons shall be given 10 the person removed" Morris =. Webster. the new comptroller, before assuming office, notified the SupeT1n- 7en1ent and assistant superintendent h writing that their services would r1G@ be required after January 9th. but gave no reasons for their dismissal, either to them or to the civil service commission. Even before these letters were received the newspapers con- tE med the names not only of the men whom the comptroller proposed to ap- point to these offices. but also of his
 
 state capitol. His action thus ap- pears to be 9 double violation of the law, in inst he has attempted to re- move office holders without complying with its requirements and has made new appointments in disregard of the civil service rules. The present incum- Dents have tawen steps to test their rights. and l am prepared to give their .4ttorneys such Information as I can Comfand, based upon adjudications in other states.
 If the action of MT Webster is the beginning of Q, general attack upon the law. the situation concerns all of OUT members, and they should have a clear understanding Of the question at issue. We take no stand with re- sard to the efficiency of the parties concerned. If it can he shown that the work of those who now have charge of the heating, lighting, clean ing and re43airlnS of the state house has been inefficient or corrupt, the comptroller can remove them under the law by giving his reasons, If the law itself is open to criticism, it can be amended in constitutional way by the legislature. Our attitude is simply that the law must be observed. We also hold that, while 1t is quite pos S1hle that the present law might be improved in some of it's details by amendment It would be discreditable to the state of Connecticut. if it were tO repudiate or in any way weaken the principle Of the law. that the business of the state should be conducted on business principles. and not under the spells system
 The merit system has been thor oughly tried out by an experience of 80 years on the part of the federal government and by the added experi- cnce of the more progressive states of the union. We hope that all of our members will exercise what influence they can to prevent Connecticut from taking any backward steps.

AUTO CLIMBED MT. HOOD
Great Record Made on January "a BY
Hudson Six

The distinction of being the first
automobile to climb Mount Hood. Ore
gon, as far as Rhododendron Inn in
the month of January, was won on
January "a by the Hudson Light Six

Rhododendron Inn is "a miles from
Portland and well up the slopes OF
Mount Hood. 1t is no difficult matter
to automobile TO Cloud Cap Inn on
Mount Hood in the summer time. But
to make trip such as was made by
the Hudson Six in the month OF Jan
uary is feat that never before has
been accomplished.
Not until the Hudson struck snow
about five inches deep was it turned
about for the return trip. AT Rhod-
odron Inn the passengers we're deligh.
ed with the information given by the
keepers that the Hudson Six was the
first car TO reach that point as early
in the year as January. No automo-
bile party evere had assembled so high
at that season.
On the return trip the Hudson Six
left the Inn at four o'clock and reach.
ed Portland two hours and fifty min
utes later. making the fifty four miles
without the car being stopped once.
For the round trip there was used I
10 gallons of gasoline and l5c worth
of oil This is little better than Il
miles to the gallon for mountain
trip up Mount Hood in January, some
thing unique in the annals of mount
ain motoring. Adv.

A Medicine of Merit

A proprietary medicine, like every
thing else that comes before the pub
lie, has to prove its merits. The
law of the survival of the fittest an.
plies in this field as in others. Tho
reason for the tremendous success
of Lydia r. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is because it has been fu;-
filling real human need for forty
years, so that today thousands OF
American women owe their health
and happiness to the marvellous power
of this famous medicine. made from
roots and herbs-nature's remedy for
woman's ills.
