WILLIS ECONOMY" HURDLES
into THE JOKE COLUMN

The action of the two Willis ap-
pointees was termed by one Repub-
lican as "bone-head," pure and simple.
He said that, while speakers from the
state committee and the publicity de-
partment were making statements to
the effect that "these positions could
be abolished with the Industrial COM
mission and that they were merely
cogs in the Cox machine" these two
officials and personal representatives
of Governor Willis take direct stand
against such action; declare the eff
ficiency department of the civil SER
vice commission inefficient, and want
to hold onto these jobs.

Personal Appointees Puncture "Effi-
cheney" Bubble-Savlng OF $4,000
A Year Is Branded AS A
Mere Dream

Columbus, Sept. 14-Many things
which would not look well in print
are being said among friends of Gov
ernor Willis, after hearing that two
Of his personal appointees on the in
dustrial commission turned against
him in the hearing before the emer.
gency board.
Especially bitter was the blow to
the publicity department of the Re-
publican state committee which had
just mailed out story to the effect
that the efficiency department of the
state civil service commission had
found many Cox appointees holding
over in the department of the indus
trial commission, that the civil SER
vice commission had found that there
were many useless jobs and that most
of these places were created simply
for the purpose of making another
cog in the alleged Cox machine.
1t all came about because III. L..
Eliot, Republican member OF the In
dustrial commission, and George L..
Stoughton, Republican secretary of the
same commission, declared before the
emergency board that the report of
the efficiency department of the civil
| service commission was mere col
lection of words and had no meaning.
They argued that all the jobs now
created should be held, none should
be surrendered and the saving of $4O,-
900 year was only dream upon the
part of Ernst g. Ernst, Cleveland ac'
countants, Cooper Proctor, r. A. Deeds
of Dayton, and others, all of whom
backed up the report of the civil ser
vice efficiency department.
The testimony OF Commissioner Ell
lot and Secretary Stoughton made
the story from Republican headquar
ters without one word of truth; show
ed up the efforts to maintain useless
offices and proved that real actor
was directly opposite to the reduce
the-expense" and economy plan o.
the present administration.
} DR., y. b. Campbell, president OF the
} civil service commission, upon hear
, ing of the statements made by Com
r missioner Eliot and Secretary Slough
ton, Immediately wrote a hot lette
r to Governor Willis, which was dis
patched by special messenger, to Ell
5 feet that the commission stood read
5 to aid and cooperate with the indus
r trial commission at any and all times
. and that It had never been asked 70
such services.
] The governor was requested to SC
I licit the aid of certain officials whicl
D would help put the plans of the ei
: ficiency department of the commits
sion into effect.

RESOLUTIONS Of Respect. Obituaries and
Cards OF Thanks, five cents per line.

The Chicago Aden-Post carries an
editorial in a recent issue complaining
of the woman's suffrage declaration Of
Charles E. Hughes. They criticize the
attitude of the candidate, who while
member of the supreme court of
the United States, wrote o political
speech accepting the Republican ma
tional platform, and then short time
after repudiated principal plank in
that platform and set up pledge of
his own construction. The Post
seems to question the attitude of the
candidate on other matters who re-
fuses to be bound by the votes Of the
thousand or more delegates who nom
mated him.
In the same line is found growing
complaint that the Western suffrage
states have been given control Of
the Western National Committee. The
chairman, the foreign department
manager and the speakers bureau
manager, are from Montana and Col
orado. Special attention is given by
them to the woman's suffrage states
and, as one active Ohio Republican ex-
pressed himself, they have forgotten
that men still vote"
Further criticism lies in the fact
that notwithstanding Hughes rejec-
tion of the Republican platform no ap-
preciable inroad seems to have been
made among the women voters who,
FOR reasons totally foreign TO politics
feel that President Wilson ought to be
reelected.

camp on the Mexican border, has been
received:
Ft.. Bliss, Texas.
Sept, 5, 1916.
Dear Mother:
Will try and scribble you a few
lines this evening. We arrived here
Sunday about $3.50 p. m. Left Colum-
bus Aug. 80, IL m. Sure did have
some fine trip. Came down by way
Of Chicago and Kansas City over the
Rock Island railroad. Saw some of
the finest country ever and some of
the poorest. We have a fine camp
here, one of the best locations there is
here.
There are about thirty or forty
thousand troops camped here. We
are right In the edge of east Ell Paso.
Have good view of the river, so
you may know that we are not very
far from the border.
We can look one way and see as
far as seeing is good and look the
other way and we are just about a
quarter of a mile from the mountains
Mountains are about all that you can
see in Mexico, except one small camp
of Mexican troops of eight or nine
thousand.
Like this camp here much better
than the one at Columbus and every
one else does, too. The only thing
the sanitary conditions are not as
good, but We have fine shower bath
and as long as we have that we car
get along fine.
! We have been gathering shrubs anC
cactus today and setting them around
our tents. There is some cactus here
II we had them at home | expect yol
could sell them for four or five dol
lars. The cushion cactus is the pret
test thing have seen yet. am go
ing to take a trip some day and ge
some pictures, expect Carroll viii
send some to you.
Well, l guess that is just about al
that would interest you, except every
body is we'll. All the boys are feeling
fine, and | hope that when these few

the same. Tell all the folks sent m.
