Civil Service For Postmasters

President Wilson's nth hour advocacy Of the extern
sion of the civil service embrace pOstmastershps of
all grades aroused interest chiefly adding final
touch to a campaign to which he had contributed
great number of words His letter to the National
Civil Service Reform league seemed like final clnch
er of votes in the interest of good government.
The presidents letter in support of recommends
tons of the postmaster general for the past several
years urging the extension of the civil service first to
offices of the third class and later to the second and
first classes It does not appear from the presidents
letter that had approved any of these recommended
tons until now, days after similar approval
had been given by his political opponent Charles E
Hughes
The suggestion for placing postmasters under the
civil service has for its object betterment of the
ice by taking postoffices out of the plum" class BY
making the appointments a basis of merit instead
of reward for political services 1t is notorious that
pOstmasters regard their offices comfortable
berths be occupied a snecure for the enjoyment
of a salary earned by political endeavor in the past
under the civil service to the great beterment of the
service Previously both executives had been political
appointees knowing nothing Of their duties and
incapable of promoting efficiency in their offices of
rectifying inefficiency
The placing of assistant postmastershps under the
civil service great forward step, inasmuch
gave experienced clerks opportunity to win their
way into executive positions by demonstrating their
fitness through examinations. Obviously the step
the placing of the postmasterships under the
restrictions The appointments would then go to
who would regard the office opportunity to work.
rather than a reward requiring further effort
The merits of the idea too obvious to require any
discussion, but it will be long day before congress
passes any such BILL for the postoffices congress
sional patronage. What will congressman have to
promise their faithful workers if the pOstoffices be
placed beyond their reach?

Roundabout Town
By C. A. MARTIN.

100 feet square, the garden Is a mass OF
roses that have made most remarkable
growth in less than two years time.
Surrounded by a high adobe wall, pias-
tered in harmony with the residence. the
garden Is divided by long walks crossing
in the center. Over one OF these walks
q trellis or pergola is constructed, with
a summer house III the center, covered
in the winding embraces OF a fine, big
wisteria vine. Climbing roses cover the
rest of the pergola Climbing roses also
cover the three walls of the garden and
bush roses fill every bit of the available
space in the garden between the walls.
Many Of them are in bloom even this
late in the fall: all are in full leaf and
their rich green Is beautiful in its col
0ring. The living room and den down
stairs open onto this garden over a long
porch. Upstairs the family bedrooms
all overlook the garden
