Of each step in the descent shall

In the largest sense the answer
to this question Ia simple and two
fold. Full information and better
distribution OF ownership might
still save the State. II is bound TO
survive as something much poorer,
but with a lively public opinion

official charged with executive du-
ties of importance which affect the
policy of the Administration ought
to hold his position at the pleasure
of the Chief Executive. But the
thousands of clerks and other en-
ployes who have no voice in the
carrying out of policies ought TO be
free to hold their political convic-
tons regardless OF whether the
President IL q Democrat or O Re-
publican.
A clerk who keeps records or
sets type or uses q typewriter or
attends to the ordinary functions
of governmental administration
ought not to be affected by his po-
liticai convictions. Because of the
injection Of politics and the fear
of being denied promotion or the
danger Of losing position. too many
OWL service clerks do not exercise

liticaI invertebrates. They ought
to be encouraged to act, on their
convictions with the knowiedse
that their expression Of political

ENTER ATTORNEY GENERAL
Or. we ought to abolish the civil
service system and go back to the
old TO the victors belong the
spofls'' In the departments in
Washington and in the postal and
other clerical and like positions
throughout the country. Attorney
General Daugherty is quoted as
saying that he would prefer to
have tho recommendation of poll

Civil Service Commission.
''T would rather take the recon-
mendations of . political commit
tee. either Democratic or Repub-
lican. a self-respective committee,

the Attorney General testified re-

A surprising executive order has
been issued Diminishing q score OF

r N spite Of the wonderful cures
affected during the war, and
stin being affected. by medi-
cal hypnotism there fingers in the
public mind a certain distrust Of
this branch Of science.
Hypnotism and every form OF
psycho-therapeutics represents to
many people q dabbling in un-
known forces akin to mediaeval
sorcery. and therefore, are better
left alone.
Actually they have nothing in
common with psycho-analysis, and
to confuse the modern medical
hypnotist, who makes use of a
perfectly natural power for the
alienation of suffering, with the
sorcerer, who claims to employ
supernatural power. usually for
malisant purposes, is a mistake
which does not flatter the hypno-
list.
The hypnotist is born, not made.
He can cultivate and develop his
power. but he cannot create or
acquire It.
Tho common belief that anyone
can produce self-hypnosis by star
ins at q black spot has no founda-
ton In fact; what happens I'm SUCH
a case Is that the would-be hypno-
lists creates a very strong auto
suggestion that he has hypnotized
himself. but he is certainly not In
an hypnotic sleep.
NATURES ANAEsTHETIC.
IL is the populsrizing Of such
false theories, and the fact that
hypnotism is practioed by many
who have no real qualifications for
the work that creates nervous
distrust of science which
possesses almost unlimited possi-
bilitles for the cure Of many forms
of human suffering.

We have always had that habit.

II was a grave, stern, rather somber

In Britain We exhorted ono an

were few smiles In France. That

He should be selected because he
