ALL DEMOCRATS
WILL HAVE TO GO:
G. 0. P. NEEDS JOB

Washington, Feb. 28.--If press
reports from the Harding headquar-
ters in Florida that the new president
Intends to revoke the Wilson execu-
tive order, which placed all postmas-
ters under civil service rules, is cor
rect. and Harding does this. it means
nothing else, in the opinion OF old
timers here, and others well versed In
political customs and usages than that
thousands of postoffices all over the
country. now held by Democrats VIII
soon be taken over by Republicans,
and that. this brand of Federal pie
will, thereafter. go strictly and alone
to\the faithful in the G. o. P.
In the Senate cloak rooms today
there was not little private. strictly
inside stuff going, about this cont m
plated revocation of this much-dis-
cussed order. but 1t was said that if
this is done it will not In any sense
come as a surprise. II has been con-
plated from the time OF the election
that just as soon as Mr.. Harding
should take hold of the White House
machinery he would inaugurate a
change in the present method of post
office patronage.
1t is not generally understood. but
il is nevertheless true that a presi-
Dental order of this kind may be re-
vcksd either by the president who
issues it or by a subsequent chief
executive at any time that may be
desirable. 1t is not in any way
bound by law or other form Of iron
bound custom. but, on the contrary,
is merely the order Of the president
until such time as 1t may be desired
to revoke 1t. .R
1t now becomes as plain as day
light why the Republicans In the Sen
ate have refused TO confirm any Dem
ocratic nominations for postmasters; !;
they were waiting for this revocation
by Harding Of the executive order.
When that is done. the Democrats
now In will have a status just as long,
and only as long. as the new president
desires to name Republicans in their
places. When that is done their heads
will fly of and the G %. P: will sup.

Yap. according 20 authoritative Jap
anese opinion. The protest of the
United Statss government to the
council of the League OF Nations has
aroused great interest in Japan as a
rev move on a matter which has al
ready been lengthily but thus far un-
successfully discussed directly by the
governments of Japan and the United
States.
1t Is explained here that Japan bas-
es her mandatory on the final decision
of the supreme council In May. 1919.
which handed over the German islands
north OF. the equator 10 Japan with
out mention of representation II
President Wilson made oral reserva-

liberations of the council. it is de-
clared that Japan was net represent

this.
Japan will take the stand that the
mandatory means control Of the ca
bles. on the same status as Germany
prior to the war During the war Ja-
pan diverted the zap end or the ca
BILE from Shanghai to the Loo-Choo
(Liu-Kiu) islands. between Japan and
Formosa for administrative purposes.
Therefore, cable communication from
America to Shanghai by way OF Guam
and Yap does not exist.
1t is understood that Japan has sug-
gested to the United States to lay
cable direct to Shanghai from
Guam as substitute for the zap
route.
Among the newspapers, the Nichi
Nichi takes the view that the United
States is in no position to interfere
because it has not ratified the peace
treaty and has not entered the league
But, it adds, considering America $

immoral not to consider the conteG-
tions of America.

NOVEL METHODS
 ADOPTED BY s. s.

What might be termed the greatest opening in the history of the Conway ! Methodist Sunday School will be held next Sunday at nine-thirty o'clock. Students from all of the colleges of the city have enrolled and all indica- tions point toward record year in the Sunday school work. The enthu- siasm and earnestnesS manifested by both students and teachers promises to introduce a new ear of study into that branch ofchurch work. Hendrix students who have not enrolled in one of the several classes are urged to do so at once. It is pointed out that in no other field can one obtain the moral development which comes from the Sunday school.
 The method of study which was out lined in the last issue of this paper is a novel one. Courses which offer training in nearly every field of re- ligious activity have been put within reach of the student. The individual is left free to make his own choice of study and thus it is hoped to over- come the indifference which is prob- ably the greatest menace to our mod ern church life. In entering such an activity with earnestness and serious ness the student body can demon strate it's interest in the highest and noblest thinggs of life.
 The following courses are offered:
 Social Teachings of Jesus"-Dr. c. J. Greene.
 Social Duties from the Christian Point of View'-Prof. T. s. Staples.
 "The Marks of a World Christian" L. E. Winfrey.
 Uniform Lessons Magazine"- Prof. w. o. Wilson.
