capital already dwindling, it meant
an expenditure which hurt, but which
was necessary. nevertheless.
Slow, putting and wheeling, the

Pathetic!

The girl was ragged, unkempt, and
the dark rings around her beautiful
eyes told of weeks Of hunger and
privation. Dejectedly she leaned
against the gnarled trunk of the
mighty oak and passed a trembling
hand across her brow.
And snowflakes fickered in the
chilly breeze, causing her to shiver.
Her lips framed a prayer as she
gazed hungrily around.
"Ah!" A cry of joy escaped her lips
as she espied q crust of bread lying
out on the snow-kissed grass.
Eagerly she pounced upon it, and
carried it to her trembling lips, and
r%avenously devoured 1t.
Then a voice echoed through the
wood: Fright, Miss DAINTY" and with
a sigh of relief she hurried to her
waiting automobile and drove away to
her mansion.
For she was a cinema starl-Shef'

While Lieutenant Commander ii. e.
Parsons, navy recruiting officer at
Houston, Tex, was sitting at his desk
Il few days ago a young man entered
and said he wanted to enlist.
"What is your name?" the officer
asked.

You are a namesake of William

the officer.
"Yes, SIR"
"What is your home address," was
the next question.
"Moonshine HILL"
Parsons found on further inquiry
that there is a Moonshine Hill In Tex
as and that Bryan Dry was one of Its

Now, right here at this point of reasoning is the beginning of the
diverging lines between the two schools of thought with reference to civil
service. One school seems to go on the principle that civil service, when
it reaches its highest goal, may include everyone below the President. l
say this advisedly, because l have heard grandiloquent civil service speak
es proclaim the day when cabinet officers shall be under civil service. If
cabinet officers, the same logic would also include the President.
One has only to ponder upon this for a moment to set himself think
ing that it is absolutely necessary somewhere to draw the line, for if all
the officers of the government, from the President down through to the
messenger boy, should come under legal civil service, all of them holding
Office for life, we would then have something worse than a monarchy, worse
than a kingdom-it would be a monarchy and bureaucracy combined. 1t
would then be a machine government instead of a peoples government.
/ know this is an extreme view, and am setting it up for your
thought simply to emphasize the fact that there must be drawn a line
where civil service shall end and that that line must be drawn on some
principle. I have never heard the ardent extremist on civil service ever
suggest that any line should be drawn anywhere, and [ I'm only pointing
out to them that they are tending toward an impossible conclusion and a
conclusion which would defeat the fundamental principles of selfgovern-
ment upon which our country was founded. What has brought me into
this controversy is that I have suggested that their constantly reaching
for higher and higher administrative Offices and never suggesting where
they propose to stop is dangerous tendency; it is a thing which is Undue
ing lovers of popular government to strike back at them; it is the thing,
and the only thing, which, if pursued, will defeat civil service, for ii we
have to decide between civil service and popular government we cast our
lot on the side of popular government.

What Substitutes Do Complacent Pharisees
Offer the Rising Generation?


In Greater Boston the other day, where it is estimated that nearly
10000 college students come every year in pursuit of higher learning, we
entered a movie in a supposedly hgh-cass theater. There, before the
eyes of hundreds of students, we saw three films, applauded vigorously, in
which all that was vulgar, coarse and obscene was exhibited. The days
program was no exception to the rule.
A day or two later Kreisler played in Symphony hall. Again the
audience was made up chiefly of students. The great violnBt was en-
cored again and again by students. We state these two instances from
actual experience to show that students do respond to the true and the
good and the beautiful, as well as to the ugly, the coarse, the bad.
What are you critics, your compaeent Pharisees, of the "hoier than
thou" disposition doing to bring us the good and the true and the beauti-
full? What substitutes do you offer us? We take only what has been
handed down to us from the older generation.

Why Should Not the Young Want to Try

In addition to the fact that it has grown up since 1914, in years
when older men and women were preoccupied with attempt to salvage CIVIL
ization, this generation is the first to feel the impact of many new forces
in the worlds life. The camera and the illustrated paper have brought
the world to the girls door. The morning paper brings her the worlds
politics and scandal. The movie, with its crude lights and lines, tends to
destroy the fine edge of Imagination, or would if God had not made relh-
ence one of the attributes of youth.
Modern science pours into the lap of young people great stores of
treasure, along with the alloy; why should they not want to try every
thing, explore all the avenues Of life?

Two Schools Of Thought With Reference to
Civil Service at Washington


Whenever an administration zones into power,
whatever its politics, it is the verdict of the people that
the things for which it has stood shall be carried into
effect as far as possible and as promptly as possible.
The faithful f%ulfllment of these mandates of the peo-
pie must be held up as the foremost objective of any
administration. The machinery of government, the
instrumentalities, and even the personnel by means
of which these mandates of the people must be carried
out must always be subordinated to the great tasks to
be performed.

Bond Market
BY STUART p. WEST
tCopyright. 1897

New York, March 13-The bond
again today was governed
chiefly by the easing money condi-
lions and the expectation that these
would lead soon to another series
of reductions in federal reserve
rates If this occurs it will be in
as foreshadowing a pro-
longed period of lower money quo
tations than any that have yet been
seen, with a consequent necessity
of higher valuations placed on in
vestment securities.
There were two features that
stood out in the market today. One
was the numerous new high records
made in foreign government issues,
the other the keen demand for rail-
way bonds The latter raised some
of the bonds as much as a point
Among the foreign bonds to better
their previous highs were Argen-
tine SIS, the government of Swift
zerland SIS and Norway SIS. French
bonds were not hurt by the contin-
ued decline in exchanges, but the
sharp break in sterling brought
heavy selling into the United King
dom securities. Both the 1925 and
1925 were down over a point.
Belgian 6's were also Influenced by
the weakness in franc exchange and
they lost point
