ATTENTION, DEMOCRATS.

election will be held in this count.
and the Democrats will vote to nom
mate candidate for Appellate Judge
in the Third District. There are but
two candidates, Hobson L. James, oi
Elizabethtown, Kentucky, and D. A
NcCandless, of Munfordville, KY.
Mr.. James is Democrat, who has a
clean record; has never held office and
has not before this been a candidate.
He has the endorsement of all the
lawyers and Democratic officials of
his county and the endorsement and
support OF Chief Justice Rollin Hurt,
Of the Court of Appeals He is well
qualified for the office and can win in
November.
Judge McCandless is now a Circuit
Judge in Democratic district, hav-
ing been elected last November for a
term Of six years from January 1st,
1922 In 1897 he was elected County
Judge of Hart county, but before his
term Of Office expired, resigned to
make contract with the Fiscal
Court over which he had presided, to
represent his county in lawsuit from
which employment he expected to re-
alize more benefit than from complet-
ing his term as County Judge. In
1905, on the death of his. cousin, he
was appointed Commonwealth's At
torney and served as such FIVE years.
In 1915 he was nominated by major
ity of forty-two votes for Circuit
Judge Of his district and elected for a
term Of six years He appointed his
daughter as his Court Stenographer
and his brother in-law as a Master
Commissioner. Last year he sought
reelection and filed with the Secre-
tary of State declaration provided
for BY Sub Section 6 of Section 1850,
Kentucky Statutes, in which he prom.
ised under oath that If elected as Cir.
cult Judge he would qualify for the
office. Before he was elected and af-
ter it was too late for him to have Cd.
position for Circuit Judge, he an
nounced as candidate for Appellate
Judge and if he now secures this nom-
ination and is elected in November,
he must resign as Circuit Judge and
Governer Morrow will appoint his sue
cessor. The judge so appointed would
appoint Master Commissioner, Re-
ceiver and Trustee of the Jury Fund
in each Of the six counties in the dis
trict and Court Stenographef for
the district. These officers so appoint
ed would OF course be Republicans in
a Democratic district. Therefore,
each Democrat who votes for McCand
less in the primary votes to put TWEEN.
tV Republicans into office in a Dem
ocretic district. Most Democrats
Chink we have too many Republicans
in office now and all Democrats who
are true to their party should and
will vote for Mr.. James for this nom-
ination
Several Republicans are working for
McCandless because they believe he
can be defeated by them in Novem.
Der, if nominated, and they know that
should he be elected in November,
they will gain Republican Circuit
Judge and the officers and influence
which goes with the Office to be used
in the interest of the Republicans ia
the cam paign of 1923 when state off.
GERS are to be elected. Ad.

Efficiency Means Control

DECAUS of the inefficiency Of the late Wilson
II administration and the miserable results obtained
under the classified service. it is well to look into its
operation and learn what abuses have crept into the
system in the eight years of Democratic direction.
In its original conception, the classified civil SER
vice included those employees who perform purely
routine service and whose qualifications could be de-
termined fairly well by a competitive examination.
In recent years it has been extended to cover posi-
tions of supervisory character where the personal
equation is of more consequence than ability to pass
a competitive examination. The power to make ap-
pointments has been practically taken out of the hands
of the men who are responsible for results.
No large or successful private concern in the
United States conducts its business on any such
principle.
The United States postoffice department is the
largest business enterprise in the world.
1t covers the entire United States. It's employees
are in, every city, town and hamlet. Yet, in the ulti-
mate workings of the civil service system, the en-
ployes of that department are not the selections of
those in charge of the Postal Service but are chosen
from a list made up by a separate commission in no
way responsible for the efficiency of the Postoffice
Department. Can any one imagine a great manufac-
turing concern, an oil company, a railroad, or a bank
choosing its employees from a list made up by a sep
arate concern outside its own offices?
The relative abilities of clerks, stenographers, ac-
countants, etc.. can be determined by competitive
examination better than by any other method and
the classified system is undoubtedly of benefit as
applied to that class of employees. But the selection
and retention OF supervisory officials-those making
the connection between the public and the routine
workers. an entirely different matter. No compe-
titive test by an outside bureau can be as ~satisfac-
tory from any viewpoint as a selection based upon
the personal judgment of the men responsible for
results
The Harding administration has promised the
country more business in government. There isn't
a business man in the United States who would will
ingly undertake to conduct his business with super
vising employees selected for him by outsiders. He
ought not expect a Government Department to do it.
Neither should the average American business man
permit a seh-appointed civil service reform organ
ization to mislead the public as to the merits of the
classified civil service system. Such organizations
are usually managed by men who have had little il any
experience in important business undertake
ings- IT they have had such experience, it is safe to
say that they did not permit anyone else to select
their chief employees. "Civil Service Reform" is a
term that has been used to cover much civil service
a%bsurdity, and the sooner the country finds. it out
the better for all concerned.
, 1922-04-17
a Substantial Victory

"A substantial diplomatic victory has been
n won by the Harding administration thru the State
Department. The British Government has sent official
notification to the United States that not only the
Standard on Company but other citizens in this
county will be given the same rights of exploration
in Palestine as are enjoyed by the nationals of any
government tina. signed the Treaty of Versailles.
London reports are to the effect that not only Pales-
tine but all the former German territories admins
tered by Great Britain under mandatory powers are to
be opened to American development, and concessions
will be granted to American citizens on an equality
with those of any other country.
Of course the action of Great Britain is strictly
in keeping with the league of nations covenant, which
corstrues a mandate as being merely a trusteeship
administered primarily for the benefit of native IN
habitants. But it has necessitated a firm stand,
coupled with a high degree of diplomatic tact, to Sc
cure for the United States the rights that were hers.
The value in dollars of this latest success of Score
tary of State Hughes cannot be estimated, but it may
very well mean an additional income to our citizens
of hundreds of millions of dollars, depending on their
Initiative in following up the advantage given them
by the Republican administration.

The Message of Easter
Week

THE MASTER
The centuries have come and gone;
On city streets no moro we. hear
You speak. But like a strain of song
The echo rolls from year to
Oft misinterpreted. you've been,
Falsified. misunderstood; .
And hero on earth you felt tho sting
or hatred. But the world that would
lave blotted out your voice. could
not!
Gods truth win always find the
light;
The morning and who can stop
The dawn from throwing back the
night7
a gentle spirit you did come
Among onslaught us how to live
As brothers. Few have learned, and
some
VIII not, oh. Master. do forgive.
THE LESSON.
We chatter cur way thru the world
Complaining. We often forget
That SO much that we take for
granted
Is priceless. Our greatest asset
Is found not in many possessions,
Nor in the high places of men.
But down in the deep silent nooks
OF our hearts. And our unselfish
deeds
Are the beautiful ties that Go bind
Us close to the Master of old;
The Pearls of Great Price tina we
find.
Marguerite j. Newton.
Casper, Wyo.
