THINGS HAVE CHANGED


During the late war, in the month
of March, 1918, England, in fear and
trembling fer its own safety, hoisted
the signal of distress and called upon
America to help win the war.
On December 2, 1920, Mr.. Bonar
Law said:
Il hope it will long be remembered
to President Wilson's credit that an
affirmative answer came Immediately.
1t was one of the vital factors in turn
ing the tide of that hour"
Yet, after the war is over, Lloyd
George declares the English navy
won the war, but had it not been for
Americas quick response when Eng
land was in distress. she would not
now be in a position to give Lloyd
George the opportunity of saying that
England was the greatest empire in
! the world and at the height of its
power and in the greatest day of its
glory, and would not now be able to
crush and exterminate defenseless
Irish people in their effort to main
tain the principles of government for
which the late war was supposed to
have been fought.
When England called on American
soldiers to risk their lives in battle,
England had 10000 soldiers in Ire
land that could quickly have been
transferred to the battlefelds of Flan-
ders But England was telling the
world that this terrible war was to
avenge Belgium and safeguard the
rights of small nations. and at that
very moment her own military forces
did their utmost to crush Ireland's
hope for self-determination and hope
for national existence.

If those guys" who put Mooney
and Billings in prison could only let
them out without admitting to the
world that they were wrong, they
would gladly do it. They are like the
fellow who had hold of the lions tail
and didn't dare to let go for fear the
beast would eat him up They are
also in about the same position as
Germany was when she realized
she was licked and wanted peace with
honor and the opportunity to retreat
in an orderly manner. If there is
really such thing that we've got to
"toe the scratch" some time for all
the things we've done, there is an
awful day of reckoning coming for
that bunch to face.

"POLLYANNA" GOES HOME
Girl Whose Back Was Broken Leaves
Hospital for New Year

Olive Rhodes. the little POllyanna OF
the Underwood Hospital, in Woodbury.,
y. j., has gone home!
Home, is really with her mother, Mrs.
Oliver Zane. at ~ Wallace street,
Woodbury. but the hospital with its
great big family of CHEEKY nurses and
doctors has been home to Olive for so
long that it could almost be said she
has gone to her other home.
At II o'clock this morning DR.. o. r.
Kline. of the hospital staff, drove up to
the door in his own machine for the
little patient. Olive had been ready and
waiting for several hours, and trying
to decide which of her many gifts she
would carry with her.
For, be it known. a truck will have
to be pressed into service to move the
rOomful of Christmas presents that
came to Olive, many from persons she
never saw.
On July Z, Olive, who is nineteen
years old. was riding in an automobile
with Edward James. The car skidded
and overturned and Olive was pinned
beneath It. Five vertcbrae of her spine
we're crushed. and for many weeks doc
tors despaired of saving her life.
A remarkable operation was per.
formed on October q. and that with tn,
aid of her own checriness and detcrmi.

the health she enjoys today.

MAYOR IS ADVISED
TO USE AK LEGALLY
Civil Service Association Writes
That Law Prevents Cause

LAUDS STAND FOR ECONOMY

While approving Mayor Moore's re-
Court appropriation, the Pennsylvania
Civil Service Reform Association today
reminded the Mayor that the new char
ter forbids the dismissal Of city job
holders for political reasons.
The letter to the Mayor was sent by
the associations executive committee.
composed of T. Henry Walnut, Albert
Smith Taught, Mrs. Imogcn Il. Oakley
and James r. Francis.
1T is important for all Of us TO
remember that your veto of items on
the Municipal Court payroll was made
i'll accordance with your best judgment
as to what positions were necessary and
should be abolished in the interests Of
economy. This veto met with almost
universal approval" the letter says.
1T is to be recommended as being in
harmony with the platform on which
you were elected namely, the carrying
ont Of the letter and spirit of the new
charter.
SHERIFF Lambcrton manifested the
same spirit of economy in recently rec
ommcnding the permanent abolition as
superfuous of almost one tenth of the
positions in his department.
Public opinion will undoubtedly
support officials who impartially study
the payrolls Of the municipal govern
ment for the purpose of abolishing po-
sitions which are no longer needed.
ut is another question whether the
Mayor or the head of any department
would be justified in removing city en-
ployes as n means of expressing dis
approval of the official action or par
ticular councilmen. The city charter
expressly states:
No officer, clerk or employe in
the classified civil service Of such city
shall be removed, discharged, or re-
duced in pay or position except for
just cause which shall not be reli-
giOuS or political
'"This section of the charter gives to
city employees the same protection
which employees in private establish
ments uniformly receive, namely, the
privilege of not being discharged except
for just cause, and of not beng pun
ished for the misdeeds Of others. Every
body knows the decentralization anC
failure which would face any private
business adopting the practice of re
moving employees except for just cause
or of Furnishing them for the misconduc
of others.
"While we unQualifedly approve o
the impartial use of the veto as a mean
of abolishing needless positions, yet w
write to suggest that no employe who's
position IS not abolished should be re
moved except for just cause. .whic
should not be religious or political.

The mouthpiece of a big horn

Every few minutes the boy pressed

Then he would look quickly
