HARDING BUILDING
UP CIVIL SERVICE,
AYERS BARTLETT
Former Commission Head
Justifies Dismissals in
Engraving Bureau.

John H Bartlett. First Assistant
Postmaster General and former
chairman of the Civil Service Com
mission. has replied to critics Of
the administration with the dec
laration that the policy of the ad-
ministyation has been to upbuild,
rather than destroy. the Civil serv-
dee system.
1T is clear to everyone who
knows that this administration has
carried forward a very progressive
policy with reference to the Civil
Service not only as to the highest
officials. but also as applied to the
great body of Federal workers not
possessing administrative func-
tions," said Bartlett
Higher Ofcers Reached.
Bartlett's defense was called
forth by the widespread criticism Of
the summary dismissal of more
than a score of executives from the
Bureau of Engraving and Printing.
He explained that the tendency
Of the Civil Service has been to
reach HIGHER and higher. until il
applied to the officers of the gov
ernment drawing as much as $1,000.
1t has at least reached the domain
Of the administrative officers.
Bartlett said.
This process of reaching to In
CIude the higher and higher paid
has been going on at the expense
OF perfecting Civil Service within
its admittedly proper sphere as af-
feCtinS the great body OF Feedral
workers" he said.
Requirements Justified.
A new administration. in Bart
lett's view. is justified in replac-
ing those officials to whom Is in,
trusted the task of carrying out
the policy of the administration
Otherwise, he argues. the will OF
the people will be defeated"
1T goes without saying that All
administration deslrous OF accom-
plishing great reforms and OF car
rying out great policies mus sur
round itself with administrative and
executive officials who are enthu-
siastic for these reforms and poll
cies. Bartlett said. TT must sur
round itself with men and women
whom it can absolutely trust"

TELLS AUDIENCE
HOW TO BE HAPPY
Look on the Bright Side of
Things, DIR. Barker
Advises.

Five rules for happiness were
expounded by DR.. Charles E. Bark
er. expert "boyologist" and lectur-
er. at the evening services at the
Calvary Methodist Episcopal Church
last night. in a talk on Happiness
the Finest of the Fine Arts" de-
livered under the auspices of the
Washington Rotary Club.
Cultivate the habit of always
looking on the bright side of every
experience" was the first principle
And Accept cheerfully the place
in life in which you find yourself
each day, believing that is the bes;
place for you" was the second. DR..
Barker explained to his audience
that he had a difficult time apply
ing his second premise to a gath
ering of convicts at the Ohio State
penitentilry!
As a corollary he advised the
people before him to throw their
whole soulshnd spirit into the work
before them" and to do it in, the
best way they knew how.
The next suggestion, with par
'lCuidT poiHliHS 1Or HusDdnQS and
wives, was the advisability of do
ing little kindnesses and courtesies
to all those people who touch your
lives every day.
Labor problems will never be
solved by legislation" he declared.
but only when employers and em-
ployes put themselves in each 9TH
er's shoes and serve as they would
wish to be served" His final max
i'm was Adopt simple. child-l:ke
confidence in God"
DR.. Barker will speak today noon
at Keith's Theater On "Boyology;'
at Central High School at 2:45 this
afternoon on "A Mothers Respon-
sibility to Her Daughter" He will

Feared Custer Action

- Senator Newberry's decision is un- derStood to have been reached after a series of conversations with Re publican leaders in Washington.
 No official announcemen was made here today of Senator Newberry's de cision, because there was nobody au- thorized to speak for the Michigan Senator, but the expectation that an announcement will be forthcoming shortly prevailed in inner Republican circles It is no secret that Sen ator Newberry has been urged by a number of influential Republicans to resign his seat since the election, when Michigan defeated his chief senatorial supporter. Senator Towns end and elected a Democrat for the first time in seventy years.
 A poll Of the new Senate which will take office next March 4th. has shown almost beyond any doubt that his foes will have sufficient votes in the 6Sth Congress to unseat him, and in inc face of this situation Senator Newberry has been urged to renounce his claims to the seat nather than subject the party to the embarrass- ment of his being busted
