Letters to the
Editor
UNITED STATES CIVIL SERVICE
COMMISSION
Washington, ID. c.

The Editor. Arizona, Republican,
Phoenix, Arizona.
Sir:-An editorial in The Repub-
lican for May 25 entitled HOW
These Criminals Get In has just
come to the commissions attention
1t discusses the recent discovery that
number Of employees of the New
York city postoffice had criminal
records. In the editorial the view Is
expressed that criminals are more
likely to be appointed under the COM
petitive examination system tnan
under the patronage system of ap-
pointments to public offices.
The general tone of the editorial
is decidedly friendly to the merit
system OF appointments. and 1t is not
the purpose of the commission to
find fault with the views expressed,
but rather to inform you on certain
points involved.
The number of employees dismissed
from the New York city postoffiee
because of criminal records was 81
and not 40, as stated in the editorial.
Not one of them was employed IN
the registry division. The editorial
states that all were employed in that
division and that the dismissed en-
ployes constituted some 10 per cent
of the registry force.
The commission is in correspond
ence with it's district secretary al
New York for the purpose OF ascer-
tanning the exact status OF the men
dismissed: that is, whether they were
men appointed through examination
and certification by this commission
or were temporary employees appoint
ed outside the register.
1t is not clear to the commission
why it is easier under the competi-
tive civil service system for one to
enter the service for the purpose OF
robbing than to get in under the OLD
system of favoritism. 1t is tact
that the postmaster at New YORK
has developed a careful system OF
inquiry into the character OF eiigipies
certified to him before making APP
nointments. Many other postmast
ers follow this course. II mas nol
been practicable because the means
have not been provided for this COM
mission to make a proper investlga-
ton into the character OF applicants
for postoffice positions. Because OF
lack of appropriation for the purpose
the commission has been obliged to
depend upon the postmasters tC
make their own inquiry Approprla
ton legislation now pedlng mcludes
a small appropriation to the cofnnls-
sion for this work, and the first ef-
fort will be made In the postoffice
service. Plans for these character
investigations of postoffice applicants
were completed some weeks ago. As
means are made available, it is the
intention of the commission to ex-
tend such investigations to other
branches of the service, The COM
mission has always realized the i'm
portance Of character investigations
and has always made them to the
extent within its means
BY direction of the commission
Very respectfully,
John T. DOYLE,
Secretary

ARlzE! o ARIZONA
BY Emily Elizabeth Tilden

BY Emily Elizabeth Tilden
Arize! o Arizona,
Behold, Thy day is here
Begone thy desolation.
Forget each weary year.
For 10 The Colorado
King of rivers, see,
Awaits thy speedy coming
To give thee liberty.
Now gather ye together,
Thy forces one and all.
The day star ever rising,
Guides on, Then heed the call.
What. Though like mighty fortress
Bold stands the canyon there
Naught but an ancient story
1t shall to thee declare.
The battles grim in folklore
OF wind and heat and snow
Shall merge a fleeting shadoN
In Colorado's flow.
Far out upon the desert
In never ceaseing stream
The blessings of the river
Shall scorching wastes 'adeem.
Rich fruits from many nations
And fields with golden grain,
The very best of cotton
It's channels shall maintain.
And everywhere the planting
Shall garner wealth untold.
To thee, O Arizona
Prosperity unfold.
O! List Ye! Arizona
The trumpets ringing tone.
The day of days has risen
Go forth and claim thine own.
Arise, shine; for thy light is come
and the glory of the Lord is riser
upon thee" lisa. 90;

LovveII's Final Letter,

President Lowell's final letter to Mr..
Benesch, received to-day. said:
DEAR Mr.. BENEscH You are quite
right---it Is the function of an institu-
tion of learning to discourage anti
Semitic feeling. and the question Is,
how is 1t to be done- 1t does not seem
to me that we shall reach such q result
by ignoring the problem OF race. 1t ex-
lists In the Old World and II Is rapidly
coming here. The first step. II seems TO
me. Is to recognize that 1t is a problem
and then try to discover what its causes
and it's cures may be. 1t Is just the re-
suit that you point out that I wish 70
avoid--that of distinctly Jewish and dis
tinctly GENTLE universities. We want
exactly the opposite. We want to have
both Genties and Jews in all our col
leges and universities and strive to bring
the two races together.

will be appointed In a few days, and
one OF their first duties will be to get

 Not Believed Serious

Erma Jane. year old daughter of MT. and Mrs. Thomas Hargis Of Tomb stone Canyon was knocked down and injured by an auto driven by Tom An govich. also a resident of that dis 'trict, last evening. Late last night it was announced that the child was rest ing comfortably an dthat no broken bones were sustained in the accident. However, she was badly bruised about the body and suffered a large gash on the back of her head.
 The little girl was to have been talk en to the Warren swimming pool by her parents and child-like, she was impatient os the delay and went to the garage to wait. The door of the build ing was locked, however, and after a time she sauntered out onto the road.
 Mrs. Hargis was entertaining Mrs. R. Fox, of Warren, and they were sit ting in the orchard at the time and were unaware of the child's absence from the grounds of the home.
 Angovich, driving a light car, came along just then and, according to wit nesses. was driving slowly. As he neared the site of the accident, the child darted across the road and he did not have time to stop.
 Mir. and Mrs. Hargis arrived on the scene a moment after the collision and immediately rushed the daughter to the Copper Queen hospital where her injuries were treated by Dr.. George Bridge.
