ON MERIT ALONE

A good many Republican hopes will slide into
the realms of gloom when the pie counter contin-
gent realizes that post Offices are not classed among
the spols
The executive order, issued by Postmaster Cen
cral Hayes, May O., under which competitive
examinations are to be held June y, reads as
follows:
When vacancy exists or hereafter in
the position of postmaster at Office of the first,
second third class, if such vacancy is not
filled by nomination of some person within the
competitive classified civil service who has the
required qualifications then the postmaster gen
eral shall certify the fact to the Civil Service
Commission. which shall forthwith hold an open
competitive examination to test the fitness of
applicants to fill such vacancy, and when such
examination has been held and the papers in
connection Herewith have been rated, the said
commission shall certify the results thereof to
the postmaster general, who shall submit to the
President the name of one OF the highest three
qualified eligibles for appointment to fill such
vacancy unless it is established that the char
acter or residence OF any such applicant disqual-
flies him for appointment: PROVIDED. That at
the expiration of the term of any person appoint
ed to such position through examination before
the Civil Service Commission, the postmaster
general may, in his discretion submit the name
of such person to the President for denomination
without further examination
No person who has passed his sixty-ffth birth
day, or who has not actually resided within the
delivery of such Office for two years next proceed
ing such vacancy shall be given the examination
herein provided for.
IT, under this order. it is desired to make NOM
nation for any office of person in the competi-
tive classified service, such person must first be
found by the Civil Service Commission to meet
the minimum requirements for the Office
This amounts tic nothing less than policy of
requiring applicants for postal jobs to be actually
fitted for the performance of the duties of such
places 1t is revolutionary, upsetting old tradl-
items, and making it hardly worth while to be
local politician at all; since, if a is really
qualified for pcstmastership he can rule,
gel more satisfactory job; while if he isn't quail
flied, he is sternly barred out

RATES AND WAGES

That the one great obstacle in the way Of a Ie-
turn to normally is high freight rates, is evident
from the simplest inspection. To get almost any
article from one part of the country to another costs
as much 1t IS WORTH
Take the whcle range of food products. he
average rate fer cross nation hauls would fall lit
tie below two cents per pound It costs about that
much to ship oranges from the south to the ei-
IRENE north, nearly as much 10 ship wheat from
Oregon CT Washington 10 eastern markets, al least
as much TO ship fruits from California, or vege-
tables from Texas.
Bulky articles like hay, or the coarser chops and
feeds, simply can not be shipped because Of the
high rate This rate mus; come down if business
is ever 10 proceed Of course, business will even
tuay adjust itself TO this hidious obstacle, by find
ing home markets. utilizing trucks or resorting to
water lines. But it means the fecasting of our
whole system.
1t is limited in some quarters that the unions will
accept the proposed wage cuts only on condition
that they be accompanied viii corresponding rate
cuts. Unless rates are to be cut and greatly cut
there is no valid argument in favor CT cutting
wages, and it is to be hoped the Brotherhoods will
stand together on this point. They have chance
to secure justice for the whole country by standing
by their guns and the country is in the temper to
back them
incidentally, il may be said, while the roads did
much to dscredit public ownership, that still re-
mains las; resort and unless their tyranny
is relaxed, there will be movement in thai di:ec-
ton within few months that will surprise a good
many people.

Oklahoma and bought the lands. During the
last decade in the Tulsa region white men sought
to buy up all land held by negroes. In Tulsa, up
to the time Of the riots, approximately 500
groes held oil lands.
With the boom in oil competition between ne
groes and whites grew bitter. White man from
all parts of the country invaded the section and
were met by negroes, who ob5tinateiy refused
to sell the land at any price.
In retaliation, the white men refused to en-
ploy negro labor, and prosecuted the weather.
negroes. Finally printed ultimatums came on
June l, warning negroes TO leave the city and
state.
AT time when most of the country is engaged
in effort to bring about better racial relations
it is distressing to learn that greed has inter
fered with the efforts of well meaning of
both races
Negroes will understand, however, that the
Tulsa affair was not due to hatred of their color
but to jealousy Of their possessions These ne
groes too, who have been doing much to stop
hatred will be gratifed to learn that the
better citizenship of Tulsa is ashamed of the
rioting, as any city should be, and it is possible
it will warning to other communities
where hot heads of both races imperil life and
property.

TO KILL A PANIC
(Tampa Tribune.)
property.

Bankers and business men over the country
have sought for years a way to avert financial
pancs, and periods of business depression. They
have been more or less successful to the degree
that no great financial panic is now possible so
long as present fine banking system is in
tact and functioning But the matter of keeping
business going in other than the strictest COM
mercial channels is still problem.
County agricultural agent of Jefferson county,
j. w. Mathison, has plan for killing pancs that
beats any other we have yet 1t is given in
a recent issue of the Monticello News. 1t is
simple. so simple that many going to laugh
at it. But the who tries it faithfully and
well is never going to be bothered with business
depression at home or abroad. Here it Isl
IF you want to kill the panic, I'll stop and tell
you how;
Get the husband two good hogs, and the wife
Jersey COW;
The boy gets a Hampshire pig the prosperity
begins;
The girl joins the poultry club with 100 Leghorn
hens
The family labors in good humor, no one out of
socket,
While the pantry staggers with things to eat;
They have money in every pocket"
Mr. Mathson is not much of poet; in fact we
doubt if he could get recognition in the union of
vers liber enthusiasts. He is not much OF an
artist, either, but somehow after reading his
doggerel lines we can just see the very things
he had in mind-a happy, contented, we'll sup
piled and overlooking country, where every one
has enough and to spare and every one has
money enough to buy something else at fair
price. That's the stuff that knocks panics cold!
If Agricultural Agent Mathison has done nothing
else in his county but get people to see the vision
he conjures up in these lines, he is worth his
weight in gold to Jefferson county.

OIL THE CULPRIT
many peopl,

What's the matter with the world? Many peo-
pie are trying 10 answer that question The his
tory OF the last ten years indicates the presence of
some great social or political disease which is
gnawing at the vitals of the people, and filling
them with unwonted thirst for gore.
Some investigators attribute it to atavism-a
curious biological ament which makes us inherit
the qualities of remote ancestors instead of those
of cur immediate parents. According to that
theory, we have gone back about Two or three
thousand years and picked up The instincts and i'm
pulses of the pre-feudal age. In due time, how
ever, we assured we, OF rather our descend
ants. will take up the thread Of progress where our
fathers dropped it, and the procession will go
ahead as if nothing had happened.
This is plausible and interesting, but VIC prefer
a simpler explanation which, fortunately, is de-
ducible from the news reports
1t is oil.
This IS the known explanation Of many curious
happenings, and The possible explanation of many
more. 1t meets all the conditions of The Scientific

the Tulsa race riotsp Oil. Why are we starting
an argument with Holland? Oil.
Oil moves the world. The oil supply is limited
and precarious. Unless some of the people who
want it can be killed off, there will not be enough
left for others who want it. 1t is all perfectly
simple.
And the conclusion is that the man who would
reform and uplift the world need not waste his
time preaching, passing laws. delivering moral les
sons intoxicating righteousness. but he must devote
himself day and night to the task of finding sub
stitue for Gil which can be had in unlimited guam
titles and without the shedding of blood. When
that is found, the course of empire will sway along
as Of yore.

death; and when her hub receives it he swears
