DIR. GOODNOW, WHO
 HELPED WRITE GHINA'S CONSTITUTION, 56 TO-DAY.

$ Dr. Frank Johnson GoodnoW. pres Ident of Johns Hopkins Univ ersity at Baltimore and internationally famous as the of1ciaI adviser to President Yuan 4Shih-kai of the Chinese repuB- lie, was born in Brooklyn f1fty-six years ago to-day Dr. Goodnow ae- cepted the presidency of the great Maryland university about a year ago, when he was in Picking engaged in one of. the most important tasks ever performed by an American citizen in
 a foreign land. If the republican form of government proves a success in China the American educator will doubtless be accorded a prominent place among the heroes of this tran sitlon period. for he helped to write the constitution of the Asiatic repub- lie. It is one of the most gigantic
 experiments of the ages, that in
 which pr. Goodnow was engaged, for
 the modernizatfon Of Cl1ina's millions
 and the establishment of real re-
 public on uIle ruins Of the most an change the whole current of human
 history pr. Goodnow was counsel and chief adviser to a committee en-
 gagged in the drafting of a constitu-
 ton for a nation of 4O0;0oo,9Oo peo-
 pie. While this historic document is
 only provisional in it's nature. and will doubtless undergo many chan ges before it becomes the permanent constitution of the republic, it is the
 foundation on which all future at-
 tempts at the attainment Of true con- stitutional government for China will
 be based. Dr. Goodnow Is a grad
 uate of Amherst and Columbia. and
 studied in Paris and Berlin before he
 became a member of the Columbia faculty in 1888. As dean of political | science at the New York university he attained a worldwide celebrity in the Held of political science, and es- peciaI1y as an interpreter of American republicanism. It was his fame in this field that led to his appointment
 as constitutional adviser to the Chi nese president Dr. Goodnow while admitting that China will prob ably have to undergo many vicissi- tudes in the years to come, still be-
 lieves that the republican experiment will finally be crowned with success, and that China, great and free, will take her place among the great pow CTS of the world

roRPEDoING THE PARTY.
6waterbury Republican.)

Why should the civil service law be amended? Let us repeal it instead. 7 The exceptions proposed by the amendment are so numerous and irn- portant that what it left will not be a state civil service law, but a frame work from which skin, muscles and nerves have been stripped, and the vital fluids spilled
 If the Republican party of the state is opposed to civil service reform, be manly about it and repeal the law.
 Either way of fixing it so that the boys will get the jobs they want will have the effect of a submarine attack upon the party.
