The close times have affected re-

in spirit, and it was done by the high
est in authority in America, the Presi-
dent of the United States. There
were probably hundreds of good de-
serving Republicans at Marion who
desired to be appointed postmaster.
They had read of the civil service
law, and what a friend the Republican
Party had been to it in the past. They
believed that they would be treated
fairly when it came to holding an ex-
animation for the postmastership at
Marion. They relied upon the asser-
| tions the President and the leaders of
the party had made, in forum and in
hamlet, in every campaign, They be-
lieved they were the friends of civil
service and that they would get fair
deal when the successor of the then
Democratic postmaster at Marion
shonld be appointed; but, like clap
of thunder out of clear sky, the
President of the United States, who
had before paid high tribute to the
civil service employees and to the
system, stamped it under his feet,
repudiated it, spurned it as though it
was poisonous thing and wrote an
executive order appointing the post
master at Marion.
"Oh, how can the followers of civil
service have any faith or confidence
in the administration after that act?
If it be true that the President should
do it and name some friend postmas-.
ter at Marion through an Executive
order, why should he not issue an
Executive order for Senators to ap-
point their friends in their home
towns? Why should he not issue an
Executive order for the Republican
congressman, SO that they might
name some friend as p postmaster in
their home town? 1t is the beginning
of the end of the civil service system
during the administration. If were
President of the United States and
had committed such an act as that, /
would not have the face ever again to
advocate civil service reform or con-
tend for civil service requirements or
endorsements.
81 do not know whether nomina-
tion has been confirmed or not but I
shall oppose its confirmation, and I
shall ask, if it has not been confirmed,
that the Senate shall sit in open exc
cutive session to consider the nom
ination. I want to put Senators on
record to see whether ornot they will
indorse an act, even though it comes
from their own President, which will
destroy the civil service at one fell
swoop, as President Harding did in
that instance"

Washington Correspondence.
BY WALLACE BAssFoRp.

WASHINGTON, D. c., February 25-
1t is growing into settled belief
among those who watch and study
the mystifying moves of big politics
that the Presidents recent utterances
on the bonus Constitute reflection
of his desire to defeat the proposition
and to let the blame rest on the Farm
Bloc, which he looks upon as being
the evil genius of his administration.
1t is believed that he would like to
place these men in hole from which
they might never be able to extricate
themselves. When he gave it out
that he did not favor bonus legislation
unless the money could be raised by
a sales tax, he knew that the Farm
Bloc is on record as strongly opposed
to such tax Thus Harding "passes
the buck" to those gentlemen and at
the same time throws sop to his
Wall street friends who want q sales
tax to evidentally take the place of
taxes and surtaxes on incomes. In
the same breath he tells the soldier
he would like to see him get bonus
but throws an obstacle in the way.
1t is more than suspected that the
President would like to see lot of
members of his own party fall outside
the breastworks of the coming cleo
tion fight. There are SO many Re-
publicans in the House and Senate
that he can't handle them, and if any
fall he would prefer that they bel
members of the Farm Bloc in both
House and Senate. OF course it is
we'll known that the Democrats are
getting together most militant or
ganization for the purpose of causing
an utter disappearance of this un-
wieldly condition. One of the big
Republicans told newspaper man
the other day that the leaders of his
party were hopeful that the majority
of 1869 in the House could be reduced
to 80 or 40 without starting an ava
lanche that would wipe out the ma
jority completely. They would like
to have Congress that could be con-
trolled by few leaders, but it is a
dangerous time to try the tactics
thought of. AS far as impartial OBJ
servers can see at this time, the
slaughter among Republicans of both
House and Senate will be great, but
that the Farm Bloc will -snfser- the
least. The Democrats say the Repub
licans are in for the worst trimming
they have had in 0years.

Nothing is more productive of joy
and profound profit in later years than
trained judgment and love for read

should not grow up with books as
daily companions, learning to know
the best books and the characters and
authors of the great books. Any moth

almost II years. Apoplexy was the
cause ofhis death. Previously he had

The funeral was held Tuesday after

10 power. Nou only mas there been
economic and industrial paralysis, but
many declare there has been recess
sion in that advancing tide of fine
idealism which has been the past
guide and should be the future guide
as well as the glory of the Republic"
The foregoing is but one paragraph
in an indictment against the present
administration, drawn by the MASTER
full hand and voiced by the eloquence
of the Democratic Senator from Utah,
W. FL. King, in a recent speech on
the floor OF the Senate.
This condition he attributed to ssthe
foolish policies, the unwise legisla-
ton. and the lack of craftsmanship of
the party in power" He said, "the
Republicans are not only incompetent,
but they are afraid to deal with the
problem confronting Them" Saying
that the character OF revenue legisla-
ton enacted was one of the tests of
the capacity of a party to control, he
declared that measured by this test
the Republican party had failed ut
terly sits fiscal policies, its tariff
legislation, its revenue measures have
all been Disappointing" he said.
"The American people," continued
Senator King, "are beginning to
realize that they have been deceived.
Three years of Republican control of
Congress and one year of Harding ad-
ministration have brought concrete
examples of the disastrous conse-
quences of Republican rule. Men
who cried aloud against Wilson and
Democratic policies now beat their
breasts in anguish as they cry aloud
for the return of prosperity and those
blessings which attended Democratic
supremacy. There never was such
prosperity in any land as that enjoy
ed by the American people during the
administration of Woodrow Wilson.
''The Democratic party gave to the
country during the eight years of
Wilson's administration prosperity
which has never been attained by this
or by any other country. We develop
ed industrially until the world was
our market. We grew financially
until nations stood with empty purses
seeking our favors. Materially Amer
lea wore the crown of primacy, and
morally this Republic became a SYM
boil to all the world.
IF an Industrious and happy peo-
pis are the standard by which to judge
of a party, then the Democratic
Party must be crowned with honor
and glory. If extending commerce
and assuming world leadership in
trade and finance are evidences of
successful political control, then the
testimony is mountain. high establish
ing the claims of the Democratic
Party. If to point the way to all ma
tions, great and small, the way of
righteousness and peace and honor
and justice and freedom is demon
stration of the capacity and greatness
of party and it's leaders, then to no
party and to no leaders has there
ever come such conclusive proof of
glorified achievements as that which
all the world bestows upon the Demo-
cratic Party-the party of Jefferson

The Little Technicalities.
lst. Louis Post-Disnatch. J

(St. Louis Post-Dispatch.)
The conference of Missouri Prose-
cutting Attorneys and Bro Shupp, as
sembled by Attorney General Bar
rett to consider the enforcement of
prohibition, received some salutary
advice from Prosecuting Attorney
Oakley Of st. Louis, when he said:
"We cannot speak of the disregard
of law bred by infractions of prohibi-
tion, as some contend, unless we
sworn officers conform to the law our
selves. Unless we do, we do more to
threw this law into disrepute than any
other single element"
Mr.. Oakley referred particularly to
illegalsearches and the attempt to pro-
cure convictions by short cuts in
violation fthe rights of the accused.
Unfortunately, his remarks appear
ed to have had little weight with
young Mr.. Gideon, Prosecuting At
torney at Forsyth, in Taney County
He has notbeen using search warrants,
he said, and he searches everything
and everybody without warrants, and
gets convictions, too. And he added:
"We use the direct method in Taney
County, for, while I reverence law, l
hate these little technicalities.
Thus the fourth, fifth and four
teenth amendments to the Constitu-
tion are viewed by this prosecuting
official as "little technicalities." Must
he not, then, show lenience toward
those who similarly fail to take the
eighteenth amendment seriouely?
When Mr.. Gideon retires from
Office he may find himself with a
client some day who stands in need
of his constitutional rights; he will
then appreciate the full significance
Of these amendments and why they
were adopted as essential to the per-
petuity Of civil liberty.
Meantime, if Taney County con-
tinues to submit to "the direct
method" we commend it to the
young city lawyer as a promising
field for patriotic and, perhaps, lucra-
tive labors.
