CIVIL SERVICE REFORM

1t is imperatively necessary that the new
administration give early attention to q radical
reform OF the civil lists The public service
Is literally cuttered with thousands OF Incompe-
tent officials and altogether useless positions
There must be not only mercess destruction OF
such positions, but radical changes in person.

executive civil service at Gsl,ll6. or 200 600

date the number had reached a new high mark
Many men, familiar with conditions at tho
capital, have advocated the dismissal Of 800 900

service would he rendered more efficient by
such wholesale dismissal scpator Harding,
during the campaign, repeatedly charged that
the government payrols were cloggcd with
useless employees that their dismissal would

1t is foolish to say there Is any crime In burn

The burning Of corn in Nebraska will ac-
complish two purposes: Corn will advance on

The popular vote for senator Harding re-
fleets a broader ana larger expression than mere
political choice. The magnitude OF it's import

For Il seems with the passing of every day
Closer We get to the Far Away
Dust are the idols we loved of old,
our fingers have touched them and found
them cold,
our fairy stories have lost their charm,
our giants no longer have power to harm.
Fully many riddle we've solved and

Thus searching for splendors new we go,
