CIVIL SERVICE SHOULD STAND.

Though the desire to assist our returning heroes
"a every way in obtaining employment natural
and right the suggestion that civil service examln-
ations should be waived FOR them or that they
should be given the preference in examinations or
promotions is open question.
The positions for which civil service examina-
tons required have do with the business Of
the state and it is manlfestly for the public good
that the persons. soldier civilian. best fitted TO
hn those positions should have them.
The system was inaugurated to do away with
favoritisn. with political and party handling of
state Offices the jeopardy Of state business and
equal rights for the individual. Merit determined
by the same tests for ALL open all was accepted
the only just basis for decision
Any soldier viii stand just good show as any
civilian in passing the examinations which have
been carefully compiled 10 the ability OF the
average citizen. and which should therefore work

Sometimes they crawled, and some

Well. this city Of ours began to grow.
But the street car system--Oh my.
no.
The townspeople stood on the cor

While the little oil car was horribly
late.
But the street car system it would
not grow,
Though they tried so hard 10 make
it, you know:
They dosed il up with many a slam.
And down it's throat they tried to
cram
Medicines and cures of every kind.
Still then, the system it kept behind.
They tried some riots and strikes

That the system is the same today.

Senate Resolution Declares o.
position to Treaty in Its
Present Form.
KNOX IS The AUTHOR
Also Declares Whenever Peace OF
Europe Is Threatened the United
States VIII Help Again in Re-
moVai of That Menace.

Washington, June 11.-With the in
PRODUCTION of resolution by Senator
Knox, Republican, of Pennsylvania,
proposing that the senate give formal
notice to the peace conference of
opposition to be expected should the
treaty be submitted for ratification
in it's present form, the senate fight
over the league of nations was
brought to more direct issue.
Senator Knox, a member of the For
eign Relations committee, drafted the
resolution after conferences with 9th
er league opponents and presented it
with the apparent support of those
who have led in criticism of the league
covenant.
While declaring for immediate con-
clusion of treaty dealing with the
direct issue of the war only, the reso-
luton contains a far-reaching prOpOs-
al which would lay it down as a pol
icy of the American government that
whenever the freedom and peace of
Europe are threatened the United
States will consider it obligatory to
help again in the removal of that
menace
Congress May Declare Peace.
Back of it is the senate answer to
the threat that the ratification of the
treaty will be forced because other
nations will have the advantage of
the United States in trade until the
United States ratifies the treaty.
The method of meeting this situa-
ton aims, in the event of failure of
the Peace conference at Versailles, to
accept the verdict of the senate, to tin-
woke the same power for ending the
war that declared it. The war making
power rests wholly with the Congress
of the United States
Accordingly it is being arranged
that, in the event of failure to make
it's declaration accepted. the republi.
can majorities i'll both houses, will de-
clare our war aims to have been at
tanned and a state of peace, will be
declared
The decision as to acceptance of
membership in the league of nations
should be left without prejudice to
each nation, the resolution declares,
for further separate consideration. 1T
also asserts the lack of authority by
the treaty-making power of the gov
eminent to make treaty which in eff
feet amends the American Constitu-
ton.
At Mr.. Knox's request the resolu-
ton was referred without debate to
the Foreign Relations committee.

the citizens Of Wisconsin, and the first
territorial governor made violent eff
forts to regain for Wisconsin the lost
strip of territory to the SOuthwardS
The dispute was waged for several
years, being finally decided in exceed
1S40 the territorial legislature passed
a resolution calling for a referendum
in the northern counties of Illinois in
volyed in the issue. Strangely enough,
their citizens preferred, on the whole,
TO be annexed to Wisconsin, the reason
for thus abandoning their old comnec-
ton being the desire to escape the bur
den of taxation imposed by the heavy
state debt Of Illinois incurred during
the In ternal Improvement craze.
Meantime the people of Wisconsin, I'M
derwent change of heart with respect
to the proposed remuneration" The
accession of these Illinois counties
meant immediate admission to state
hood and this in turn involved a more
expensive governmental organization
with increased taxation to support it,
The prudent Badgers now desired nei-
ther more territory nor more eXpen-
sive government. Consequently h @
agitation over the southern boundary
subsidized. and in 1S4S Wisconsin en-
tered the Union with Chicago's destiny
permanently linked with that of the
state of Illinois.

WHEN WISCONSIN
CLAIMED CHICAGO

Madison, June 1O-How it came
about that the nations second city is
located in Illinois rather than in the
Badger state is a matter of some inter-
est and importance to the people of
Wisconsin. When, in 1877, the old
Northwest Territory was parceled out
a compact was made ito foverer remain
unalterable except by common consent"
which provided that the southern
boundary of the future state of Wis
cOnsin should be IAN east and west line
drawn throug the southerly bend or
extreme of Lake Michigan"
Had the compact been kept, Wiscon-
sin would today include the 1900
square miles of northern Illinois, in
Guiding the cities of Chicago, Rockford,
FreepOrt and Galena. and some Of the
finest and richest agricultural lands in
America. However, the ''unalterable"
compact was broken more easily than
it had been made. In 1918, when the
question of admitting Illinois to state
hood was under consideration, her, ter
ritOrial delegate urged that the bOun-
diaries of the incoming state be so
drawn as to give her harbor on Lake
Michigan. Wisconsin was then a will
derness inhabited chiefly by red men.
Under the circumstances it was an easy
matter to strip the future common
wealth for the benefit of her southern
neighbor. Accordingly, the northern
