Four new correspondents reported this week, Huntsville, Bethel, High fill and Accident, but owing to some needed repairs that are slowly be ing made on our typesetting machine, quite q number of our correspond- ents are carried over this week. We hope to have the machine in good running order by next week, when room will be accorded them all. The machine has been through a strenu- ous six months, and like everything else, needs oyerhauling, and this work must be done at odd times. We hate to say it, but the machine will get a good working over Sunday.

TEACHERS ENTERTAINED.

Mr and Mrs. A. l.. Woodruff en- tertained the teachers of Grammar School, and Misses Grace Lease and Katherine Banta on Thursday Dec. 13, at their beautiful home, in hon or of their cousin, Miss Grace Black of the Independence schools, Kansas.
 During the Christmas holidays of 1913, the teachers were royalty en- tertained by Mir. and Mrs. Woodruff ill honor of this same cousin, and it was with no little pleasure that they accepted the invitation this year Miss Black is charming young woman, and at once falls in to delightful comradeship with fel- low teachers.
 The home was beautifully decorat- ed with Christmas greens and q gen ial warmth and Christmas cheer per yaded the rooms.
 The hours of the afternoon fled sAIIlls DA, LOT lLe guests N AeI . interested in artistic e?) etehings on canvas and recitals of folltes of 1914, and of resolutions for the new year After this, all were invited to the dining room where they found their places around truly Christ mas festal board, and were served ] by the host and hostess to beani- full turkey dinner and all of it's ac- compartments. The last course was as distinctly American as the first and each guest seemed reluctant tbut really was delighted) to spoil the pretty hearts of brick cream.
 Long did they finger with merry chatter, and jest, and story, till ap' preaching night made them hurry Happy good-byes were said, and kind thoughts of host and hostess were carried away with each.

Mrs. Carl OWnbey entertained the $. E. Club on Thursday of last week. Mrs. c Ownbey, our president, stood near the open door to extend hearty welcome. The Christmas tree was hidden in the adjoining room. IL was q joyfully expeetant crowd who awaited the opening of the doors that would expose il to view. When the time came We be- held the tree in all it's glory splen- didly lighted i'll colored lights with it's numbers Of beautiful gifts. The gifts were hand made and showed much skilled work.
 After our childish exelamations had sabsided and the husbands arrived we were ushered into the beautifully decorated dining room where thirty six found their places by dainty Christmas cards. The favoIs were bells Of snow under which were hidden salted nuts.
 The five course dinner was one of which Epicures dream. Here Mrs Ownbey was assisted by Misses lrma Petross and Zoe Slaughter. Music was furnished by Miss Marks and the Misses Berry.
 After the dinner Miss Clark gave some readings that made us feel that We were away down south in Dixie After this, New Years wish es were passed in puzzle form and Thompson s telegram was voted the best The prize. old Father Time with his scythe, was very appro priate. It told us plainly that he had cut off another year of our lives and We were standing on the DOT tals of a new year.
 Just before the bells tolled the closing Of the year We said goodbye to our host and hostess and left them with all good wishes for very happy new year.
 May their new year be as happy as they made the last hours of the old year for the members of the 5. E. Club and friends.

Germany's Food Supply.

Germany's order for the seizure of
all stocks of wheat, corn and -four by
the first of February is viewed as a
precautionary measure looking to the
possibility of the Tightening of the
allies lines in the spring and the
closure of all outside sources of sup
ply. 1t is thoroughly reasonable
move. for in any case the German food
supply cannot fail to have been cur
tailed by the wars effects and the OPP
portunity is offered for speculation,
with consequent public suffering. This
proclamation means that after the first
OF February the German government
will handle all the breadstuffs in the
empire, to prevent waste, cornering-
through a gigantic corner of it's own
and unnecessary public suffering 1t
Is 10 be noted that the government ex-
poets the next harvest to yield suffi-
cient crops for supplying the public
needs during the second year of the
war. Whether that calculation is cor
rect remains to be seen. If this action
Is in anticipation of a possible siege
on grand scale il is certainly wisely
taken at this time, and in any case is
TO be commended as a precaution to
prevent the needless infiiction of suf-
fering upon the people.

Gals declaring that there Is no respect
for old age or long service and that a
veteran employe has no right to con-
sideration at the hands of the govern
ment is certainly not particularly
pleasing. Yet 1t Is not to be suggested
that the Postmaster General and tho
city postmaster did other than their
full duty or were actuated by inhu-
name motives in dismissing this man.
The courts will now determine whether
there was any statutory guarantee for

plainly made of the utter lack OF pro-

Constitution-Making.

New York is arranging for a new
constitution. The convention to draft
it will shortly assemble. In member
ship 1t will represent the pick of the
legal and the business worlds of the
state. The republicans will control it
by large majority. although of course
strict partisanship will not shape the
proceedings. Elihu Root will preside
an assurance Of eminent services in the
post of highest Importance
The constitution under which the
state is now operating is twenty years
old. That takes US back to the time
when the country was struggling with
the depression produced by Cleveland
ism. Business was at standstill The
number of unemployed in the country
was large. A new tariff bill-the Cor
man-Wilson bill-was on the eve of
enactment into law. and destined to
fail.
1t SO happens that a national situa-
ton of almost identical character ex-
lists today. The country is struggling
with a heavy business depression. The
number Of the unemployed mounts
high. A new tariff law. designed some
what on the lines of. or rather the DO
litical professions attaching to, the
German Wilson law. has just failed
Unrest of every kind is widespread
Since 1894 many new questions have
arisen. and many old ones taken on
new features. A new political party
has appeared. calling in vague terms
for social Justice" Prohibition senti-
msnt has grown by leaps and bounds.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1915-01-27

The movement for votes for women has
spread amazingly. and is still spread
ing. Agitation for other things OF
state and national interest is at great
height.
What reply will New York make to
the new spirit Of things? Whatever Is
done will be widely heralded. Her IN
terests and resources of all kinds are
enormous. Her public servants are
much in the picture. The mayor OF
New York city is sort of national ng-
ure. and should always be man capa-
BILE Of filling a high national office. In
a word. New York as the Empire state
is much looked up to by all her sister
states.
CONSTITUTIONS is task OF
great difficulty, as our much-reverenced
forefathers discovered. But they per-
formed it so we'll they laid heavy obll-
cations on their descendants. and add
ed to the difficulties. The family repu-
tation must be preserved. as much in
the case of a state as in that of the
nation.

ployes. They are highly specialized In
their work, and in the degree that they
are kept as a permanent working force
they contribute to the effectiveness OF
the system. No large employer in pri-
vate lines would think of shifting his
force every few years according to the
political changes in the United States
government, and a wise employer OF
labor would insure the permanence of
his staff by offering inducements to re-
main in service in the way of assurance
of old-age provision. Many cases have
occurred within the past few years of
business pension provisions. and in
every case the experiment has justi-
fed itself through increased efficiency
on the part of the working force.
The fact that the government now in
great many cases holds on to its
veteran workers out of feeling of
charity does not lessen the force of the
contention that some sort of retire
ment system should he established by
law for the entire civil service. AS long
as this approximation consideration
rests upon the individual ideas of heads
of departments, chiefs of bureaus chief
clerks and chiefs of divisions there is
no justice. Inere can De no standard
of tolerance. Unquestionahly many re-
movals could be made at this time for
the good of the service, but where is
the line to be drawn? In one depart
ment the age of seventy might be re-
garded as fatty disqualifying a worker.
in another siXty-five or in still another
seventy-five. Again, the exact age cut
ting no figure, men may be kept on
the pay rolls of one department out of
sheer pity who in another would be
rated as membranes and swept out
of place ruthlessly under the pressure
of political demands for patronage.
The Dean case is merely an, illustra-
ton of the present deplorable condition
in the federal service. 1t is suffering
from the lack of a practicable retire
ment system. 1t would temporarily be
better Off if efficiency ratings were uni
formly established and rigidly main
tanned, and in some respects the work.
ers themselves would he better off if
the United States adopted Il hard
standard and refused to employ any
who could not comply with require
ments. Perhaps the day of depart
mental retirement will come more
speedily through the adoption of such
a policy of casting the veterans out
heartlessly in the strictest accordance
with the provisions of the statutes

The Grapple in the Senate.

"a rose by any other name would
smell as sweet Call it flibuster, or
what you will, the Senate is in Crap
pie over the ship purchase bill me
republicans are opposed to it, and their
foremost men are speaking against 1t.
The democrats, if not enthusiastically
for it, are advocating it, and their lead
ers have decided to apply the physical
test If possible, they will tire out the
opposition in protracted sessions. 1t
is a very pretty fight as it stands.
The assertion is made that it is now
or never with the bill; that the small
democratic majority i'll the next House,
coupled with the loss of the Presidents
prestige, warns against postponement.
Whether this is more than assertion is
not known If the next House has been
canvasSed on the subject, the result
has not been published. Undoubtedly
the President lost somewhat IN prestige
at the polls in November.
AS The Star stated yesterday. the ship
purchase proposition was not gener-
ally prominent in last falls campaign.
1t was discussed along the seaboard,
but in the interior of the country the
voters heard and thought most about
the tariff and business depression. The
rebuke to the administration was adj
ministered on those lines
Still, the new Congress is the latest
expression of the electorate on the
state of the Union. and represents a
strong drift back to republican ma
tional control. In states which two
years ago gave large democratic ma
jorities, the democratic losses last year
were heavy.
This is part of the republican con-
tention that the country does not want
the ship purchase bill in it's present
shape; that it should go over from a
dying Congress to the new Congress,
which will be alive with the latest
sentiment on public policies formally
obtained.
Today everything points to an extra
session. If the ship purchase bill goes
through. some of the supply bills must
fall: and the failure of one or more
of them will require prompt action by
the new Congress. Voting millions for
supplies by mere resolution would be
unwise action, and particularly at a
time when the latest estimates are
based upon the needs of the govern
ment as disclosed by very recent de-
velopments.
Only some five weeks of the session
remain, and a first-class talkfest on a
topic most interesting is in full tongue.
Speeches of the character of those de-
Mvered by Mr.. Root, Mr.. Burton, Mr..
Lodge, Mr.. Weeks, Mr.. Gallinger and
others cannot be ignored by the other
side. They are full of matter, and
from sources dead in earnest and
thoroughly informed.

Rights to Be Safeguarded.
From the New York World.

Everybody knows what an attempt to
defend it's neutrality has cost Belgium
Holland and Switzerland are spending
millions in defense of their neutrality.
The neutral Scandinavian countries are
hemmed in by hostile fleets and mine
fields laid in violation of international
law. Neutral South America has SUI
fered by reason of interrupted COM
merce and shameless disregard by bel
ligerents Of it's national sovereignties
A war which violated neutral rights at
the outset has more and more in its
progress challenged neutral rights ev-
erywhere. Yet they must be defined
and defended. The United States is the
one powerful nation which has UNDER
taken to exercise all its rights in spite
of war the most lawless that the
world has ever known. 1t has a right
to the sea. 1t has a right to buy and
sell. 1t traffics with Great Britain and
France today because their naval
strength is undisputed and their ports
are open. If Germany and Austria to-
morrow came into command of the
ocean it would traffic with them. Those
here or elsewhere who hold that We
should discontinue foreign commerce
because supplies from this country may
be of service to one belligerent or an
other deny a sovereign right and ask
us to abdicate as neutrals and become
allies,
