OPPOSES CIVIL SERVICE.

Hartford, July S.-Bank Commits sioner Everett J. Sturges has told the civil service commission that he be- Ncved his department could achieve more satisfactory results if the com- missioner was given the power of ap- pOintment of employees without being restricted 10 the classified list of the civil service department. Some time ago Com mmissioncr Sturges made ap- plication to Governor Holcomb for exemption and tho governor referred him 10 the civil service commission. If the latter does not act faVorably on tho application the commissioner can appeal from it's decision to the gov ernOr

The men on the board receive q salary of B a day for each day they work during the year. MT. Bord deauX's s territory will include this section of the state.
 Complaints Not Justified.
 The many complaints about tho poor water served it's patrons by the Flainville Water company seem not to have been justified in the opinion of it's superintendent, who stated this morning that the pumping station in Silver Grove started yesterday morn- ing and that the odOrOus water would remain in the pipes only for a short time, or until enough water is drawn to clear the mains of the rVoir water.
 The pumping station is put into
 
 water from the art csian. wells in the grove into the service mains which supply the town. The hydrants about the town have been flushed and this will aid in getting the undesired water from the mains.

More Grade-Crossing Slaughter.

A CHASTITY reminder of the fact that
the grade crossing is still taking its
toll of lives is afforded by the acct
dent at Parkersburg, w. Va, where an
excursion trolley car was hit by a
switch engine and eight persons were
killed, mostly children. The deaths
chiefly resulted from the escape Of
steam from broken pipe of the loco
motive.
In practically every small city of
this country, and in some large ones,
grade crossings remain, to the daily
menace of multitudes of people. These
death traps have been so long in ex-
istenee that they are regarded with
tolerance until an accident occurs,
when there is an immediate effort to
secure remedy, usually without sue
cess. s--,
In the present situation of the rail-
roads Of the country, with no assur-
ance of the future manner of manage
ment, and with debts accumulating, it
is perhaps too much to expect general
grade crossing reformation immedi-
ately, unless the communities or the
states will undertake the task and as
sumo the major part if not all of the
burden of expense.
But there should be some general
movement to eliminate the crossings
Of common use where people are daily
and hourly exposed to death. Not
only in the towns and cities, but in
the open country at places of frequent
use the intersections of highway and
railroad lines should be protected by
change of grade. The annual death
toll from this cause is one Of the heavi-
est drains upon the American people,
comparable with epidemics against
which all the power of science is
waged.

A Review to Close the Chapter.

Interest is manifested in the pro-
posal to hold a grand review of troops
in this city in September to denote
the close of the war and in recogni-
ton of the services rendered by the
men who comprised the expeditionary
forces of the United States. The LIST
Division. which will soon start for
home, affords the chance that cannot
be bettered for this ceremonial OBJ.
servance, and the hope is that prepa-
rations will be promptly made for the
review, in order to take the fullest
possible advantage of the opportunity.
First to go to France and last to
return, the LIST Division stands as
splendid example Of the forces that
won the war. These men participated
in every phase of the fighting in
France. They have formed part Of
the Army of occupation in Germany,
They are veterans of the campaign in
every sense. They are regulars.
The National Army men are received
by their respective communities as
they return home with enthusiasm,
but the Regular Army man has no
home, in the same sense. This LIST
Division comprises men from practi-
cally every state in the Union. Wash
ington is the only place that can
properly pay honor to them. 80
Tho grand review, if held, should
be . distinctly national affair, pro-
NOTED by the government itself. and
not by the local community. It should
be considered and developed as cere-
monial occasion. If. Gen. Pershing,
who is about to be invested with the
rank Of full general for life. returns
in time for this occasion he should be-
come the leading figure in it, perhaps
receiving on that occasion his COM
mission as provided by act Of Con
gress. There il reason. indeed. why
the LIST Division should be held intact,
possibly in camp here, to await Gen.
Pershing's arrival 30 that q truly ma
tional celebration can be held here
that will appropriately close the chap
ter Of war-making.

speed and thoroughness but without
repetitions.
Much of the lawlessness in our
country is attributed to the slowness
with which the courts handle cases
brought before them. Weeks and even
months are lost in the preliminaries.
Grand juries seldom return indict-
ments quickly after the commission
of crimes. Trials rarely are held
within six months from arrests. APP
peals are permitted which consume
months and sometimes years. 1t is
rarely exceptional to find the accused
person going to punishment within
twelve months of the time of the
crime. Only those who lack means to
pay appeals costs and attorney fees
are handled with such speed.
In civil cases the time consumed is
scandalously protracted. The Ford
trial is but an illustration, not an .ex-
ception. Will causes often drag out
for years. The famous Jarndyee case
of British tradition that covered sew
eral generations is no gross exaggera-
tion.
Occasionally efforts have been made
to secure reforms in court proceedings,
but they have never resulted in prac-
teal improvements. The trouble is
that most Of these endeavors have
been in the hands Of those who are
themselves engaged in the very proc
esses Of protraetion. If business gen
orally were handled on the same scale
of procedure as the law work of the
county America would 60 bankrupt.

Of agitator. He simply wants to know
why this thing cannot be done.
But beneath his persifage Mr..
Thomas puts poser to the American
public. The right Of the necessary
public servant to strike has never been
admitted, and should not be admitted,
whatever the degree of belief in the
right of workers of all grades Of skill
and all lines of employment to organ
ize for mutual protection and better
ment. A congressman must be rated
as an essential of government while
the Constitution stands unamended.
