MIR. HUGHES AT DETROIT.

ed, to the Democratic spoilsmen. 1t has been to secure policies that he regarded as of more instant national moment, 1t is just to remember that neither Democratic nor Republican politicians are yet penetrated with the spirit of civil service reform. If Republicans enlarge the classes pro- tected by the civil service rules, it Is for the benefit of Republican ofi1ce holders. Each sids regards the oth- CT as using and schanging those rules for partisan purposes. Only time and growing enlightenment can re-
 move from the political and even the general. mind the surviving traces of the old practice. Mir. Wilson is veteran civil service reformer. So far as in actual experfence of admin istration he has fallen short of the lofty theory he Is not to be defended; 1; but he has committed and omitted no more than WIS to be expected of a statesman who has. to deal with facts and men as he finds them. We are not aware that the public service has detertorated; nor does Mir. Hughes furnish any proofs of such deteriora- tion. "Ignoble party expediency'' is always the expediency of the other party. There Is always the suspicion vf lack of Sincerity in these com plaipts; and public. as distinguished from partisan, interest in them as un- fortunately meagre.
 Again Mir. Hughes bombinates vain ly about the appointment of utterly Inexperienced" men to the diplomatic service. Mr.: Herricis. martyr in the Carnegie Hall speech. was utterly inexperienced in diplomacy when he
 was made Ambassador to France. His distinguished ability and success in that post at difficult ume are refu- tation. so far as they so, of MT. Hughes theory. MT. Henry Morgen- thau and MT. Brand Whitlock are striking partial refutations of it in this Administration. The elder Charles Francis Adams, whose wisdom and shrewdness as Minister at the Court of St. James are a golden page of American diplomacy. was utterly without diplomatic experience when appointed. We do not underrate the importance of a trained diplomatic and consular service. or the labors of MT. Hay and MT, Root toward that end, nor do we extenuate MT. Bryan's premiums to deserving Democrats,'' ,'' but at ias best and at it's worst the American diplomatic service under Mir. Wilson is what it was under his immediate predecessors. The ming ling of the trained and the untrained, of the personal and political, clements in appointments is nothing new. Why was Mr. Henry White, an experienced and accomplished diplomat, displac- ed as Ambassador to France? Was it not because he was in personal dis favor with MT. Taft? Did Mir Choate grow incompetent and inexperienced as Ambassador to Great Britain, or was his place wanted for MT. White law Reid? MT. Hughes admits the sins of past Administrations" He could collect a considerable cAtaIorue

POLIOMYELITIS
 AGAIN AFFLICTS TAMBLYN FAMILY
Baby Gray, Child of Minis. ter's Brother in Law,
 Falls a Victim

Word was received with sorrow here today of the further bereavement of the family of the Rev. George O. Tam blyn, in the death at Liberty, N. Y., of Baby Gray, infant child of Mrs. Tamblyn's brother. The dread polio- myelitis caused the death of the Gray baby as it also carried off Graham Tamblyn, four years old son of Rev. and Mrs. George o. Tamblyn. In this brief telegram to Howard Speer, one of the trustees of the Olivet Congre- gational church of which MT. Tam blyn is pastor, he conveys the sad news:
 Mrs. Tamblyn's brothers baby has followed Graham. George we'll"
 George is the elder son of the pastor and Mrs. Tamblyn. The mother and her boys have been spending the summer at the Gray homestead at Liberty. Rev. MT. TambIyn joined them there for a months vacation August 1. It had been reported here that since the death of their son, Rev. and Mrs. Tamblyn had been quaran- tined at Liberty but no work to com firm this has been received.
 The nature of the telegrams received would indicate that other members of the family are -,-u and endeavorins to bear up under their afniction.

of sins from American diplomatists in the days of his patron at Oyster Bay. But this Is a mere ghost issue, such as Mr.. Hughes is skilled to evoke,
 MT. Hughes is for America first, 7 and all that. but he is careful In his remarks about American unity and aliens not to say q word about the hyphen. Firm pussyfootedness. And all his circumspection doesn't keep him from falling into this puddle:
 There is no one who could suc-
 cessfully present to an American
 community the platform that an Z Americans rights stopped with
 the coast line, and that the mo-
 nent he left his shores he was a
 prey to any person that saw it to murder or destroy him.
 That is exactly the platform pre-. sented and sustained by 102 Republic cans in the House and 12 Republican, in the Senate.
 As for the paramount and peren- nial Mexican issue, after the usual historical excursus. MT. Hughes tells what the Republicans are going to do. but we can't make ont what 1t is. The meaning and application of his Mexican program are respectfully re- ferred to a. Board of Arbitration com posed of the Sphinx. Nostradamus, Mother Shfpton, Jack Bunsby. and Mime. Thebes. A ghost issue, and it gibbers
 Ono more chip from this entire and perfect chrysolite:
 It Is the business of the Gov
 ernment to have policies, 90 that
 we shall have permanent pros-
 perity.
 Permanent prosperity! MT. Hughes lost his golf cap the other day. Evi- dently he has replaced 1t with the cap of Fortunatus. 2
 We are more than ever convinced that Mir. Hughes has a great deal in him. He has let none of 1t out 50 far.

 North of Bazantin-Le-Petit we made further progress, taking a short length of trenches and inflicting considerable loss on the enemy. At 5:45 a. m., the enemy made . determined coupter- attack on the trenches captured by us. The attack was repulsed with further heavy loss by the enemy.

WHOLESALE POISON PLOT
SHOCKS PHILADELPHIA
Philadelphia, June 3.-As the re-
suit of a wholesale poison plot by an
insane inmate of Byberry Farm, the
citys human scrap heap, one tuber-
cUlar patient is dead and II others
are in a serious condition, according
to the departments of health and
charities. Inmate who confessed to
the poisoning is David Friedman,
committed as a tUberCUlar incurable
some time ago.
Twelve patients occupied a shack
and, in order to convert building into
a hospital, the shack was divided into
compartments. At the end was the
store where medicines and poisons
were kept.
Friedman obtained a small ladder
on Wednesday and climbed to the
medicine shelves, which are some
distance above the floor On one
shelf was a. quantity of formalin,
used to make a disinfeCtant solution.
Friedman, who knew that on We'd
nesday each patient is required to
take medicine, took the formalin and
mixed it with the salts.
