similar articles refer 10 another
matter concerning the federal civil
service commission and state that in
1910 the National Civil Service Reform
League requested the civil service
commission 10 bc permitted TO inspect
tho reports OF examinations for fourth
class postma sterships. The articles so
on 10 state further that this was a
usual request and one provided for by
law and one always hitherto un-
hesiiatinsly granted. The facts are
that the request referred To for per-
mission TO have access to the records
OF tho commission may perhaps he
termed usual IN the sense that such n
request is not infreGuently preferred:
but the statement that such a request
has always hitherto unhesitatinSly

and the refusal Of that request was
nothing new, but In harmony with re-

which there were considerable

cularly the fact Is that there IL no law

refusal on the part of the commission
is in line with the uniform practice OF

A. Morrison, president Of the commits

it IS denied that the political afilia-

The statement which is in the form

Articles appearing in the press re-

ing more than 1900 year, which the
federal civil service commission is re-
quired to hold, under authority OF the
executive order of March 81, 1911.
These articles contain a statement sub

animation has been so framed as to
permit the postmaster general to place
one of his confidential agents behind
the scenes in every examination, pre-

OLD-TIME RULES OF CIVlLlTY
Undoubtedly Were Taken Seriously In
1878, but Would Seem Somewhat
Elementary Today.

There was published in 1919 curl
Gus book called ''The Rules Of Civil

upon the reader IS that being in dis
course with man, it's no less than
ridiculous to pull him by the buttons,
to play with the bandstrings, belt or
cloak, or to punch him now and then
In the stomach; It's q pleasant sight,
and well worthy of laughter to see him
that is so punched, fall back. and re-
tire, whilst the other, inSensibe Of his
absurdity. pursues and presses him In
to some corner, where he is ut last
glad to cry quarter before his comrade
perceives he Is in danger" Further,
the reader Is Informed that at argues

OLD AND NEW WORLD LINKED
Roots Of Country's National Life Not
Exclusively Planted This Side
Of the Water.

The American Revolution was I'M
questiOnably a great historic event by
reason of its connection with the for
NAL institution of Il new nation, but
the roots Of our national life were not
then planted. They run back to the
first settlements and the first chapters
and agreements, nor is the genesis of
the nation to be found there; sharp
as are the beginnings Of our history
on this continent, no student could con
tent himself with Il conception of our
national life which took into account
only the events and conditions deter
mined by the people and soil of Amer
lea. Even in actual relations between
America and Europe there never has
been time when the Atlantic has not
been an ebbing as well as "a flowing
tide, and the instinct which now sends
us to the Old World in passionate pill
grimages is constituent part Of our
national life.-H. f. Scudder.

WILSON CHAMPION
OF AMERICAN RIGHTS
Declares Articles That Make
War Improbable Over
looked by Critics.

indianapolis, Ind.-President Wilson
told a crowd Of several thousand here
Thursday that no one Beloved the
league of nations would make all wars
impossible, but that he expected II 20
make war improbable"
The economic and arbitration SEQ
tons OF the covenant, he asserted,
would keep war on the outskirts" and
make it only last resort.
Calling on opponents OF the league
to present better program" for
peace, President Wilson declared it Is
a case of put up or shut up.
Opponents of the league of nations,
he said had discussed only three out
of twenty-six articles of the covenant.
The articles which would make war
improbable had been overlooked.
The president said his speaking trip
was partly to point out how "abso-
lutely ignorant" of the contents OF the
covenant some of those were who OPP
posed the league.
81 am an American he declared,
and a champion of the rights which
America believes in"
At this the crowd cheered and there
was another outburst Of cL eering when
he declared he had not the slightest
doubt" what the verdict of the people
would be.
"At present" he SAID, I'VE have to
mind our own business, but under the
covenant of the league we can mind
other peoples business
There was not an oppressed people
anywhere, he said, that could not get
attention for its case under the league.
Referring to the Shantung settle
ment, the president pointed out that
Japan repeatedly had promised to re-
turn the peninsula to China. He did
not go into the subject at length, how
ever, but mentioned it in emphasizing
that the covenant would refuse to
recognize the validity OF secret trear
ties.
The president said he could look the
mothers of the country in the face
proudly, because he had kept his prom
Use to do all he could to prevent any
more war.
This league" he said, is the only
conceivable arrangement which will
prevent our sending our men abroad
again very soon"
The president traced the incidents
from which the great war started,
saying the significant circumstance
was that Austria and Germany did
not dare to discuss the demands made
on Serbia. 1t generally was admitted
abroad, he asserted, that if there had
been any discussion there would have
been no war.
This fact, he said, recalled that the
part of the league of nations cove
nant" containing the agreement not to
go to war for nine months after con-
troversy became acute had not been
considered at all by those who criti-
else the league.
''If there had been nine days." the
president said, Germany would not
have gone to war"
