RIDING A FREE HORSE

We picked up an exchange few
days ago, a weekly published not a
thousand miles away, and was struck
by the absence of advertising. Curl
osity prompted an estimate of the paid
ads in that one issue. To our utter as
constituent, figured at top notch price
per inch, the issue did not contain to
exceed SIP worth. That constituted
the total gross revenue, aside from
subscription, for one week. Not near
ly enough to pay the paper and post
age bills.
Sometimes we wonder if there are
greater philanthropists in the world
than the editor in small town. AL
ways boosting, always working for
the best interests of the community,
business men too often have an idea
that like the old fashioned circuit rid
err somehow a living will be provided.
They forget that advertising is not
charity bestowed. 1t is an investment
and brings returns. They overlook the
fact that without the newspaper the
town would seem to be sliding back
wards. Too often, perhaps, a mer-

an aching void"

same letter President Harding says
II shall maintain every regard for the
civil service law"
These are fair words, but they dc
not square with the actions of the
president in making appointments OF
in dismissing employees. He prac-
tically nullified the spirit and intent
of the civil service law when he
changed the executive order of for
mer President Wilson relating to the
appointment of postmasters, permit
ting anyone of the highest three to
be appointed instead of the highest
one on the eligible list. Under this
executive order ex-service men have
been continuously Disseminated
against as well as Democrats showing
the highest efficiency.
In connection with the discharge of
the Bureau of Engraving and Print
ing officials, the mere fact that it was
done through Elmer Dover, former
secretary to and henchman of Mark
Hanna, relieves it of any suspicion of
intent to conform to or extend the
principles and policy of the civil SER
vice.
Despite the Presidents fair words,
these dismissed employees have been
subjected to suspicion from the day of
their dismissal, and further injus-
tice done them is made apparent in
the letter of the National Federation
of Federal Employees replying to
President Harding. The letter says in
part:
"Your letter states that there are
no charges against the dismissed Of
ficials. We respectfully submit that
had this statement been made at the
time of dismissal, that they were drop
ped without prejudice to their record,
they would have been without the
lifelong handicap now imposed upon
them in seeking other employment.
AS the matter stands the summary
dismissal, without notice, under cir
cumstances which implied cause not
divulged, their record is such that they
are disqualified for any service in the
Government whatsoever, at any rate
ineligible for reinstatement in any ca
pacity even under the five-year extern
sion order issued by you under date OF
June 25, 1921.
GAS to the effect of the order upor
the rights of these employees under
the Retirement Act, permit me to cal
your attention to the fact that only
two of them were eligible for retire
ment at the time the order was issued
Each and all of the others will lost
the maximum annuity under the r.
tirement Act, namely, $50 month o.
s720 year, which by actual compute
ton on the expectancy of life at thu
age of 10, when their first paymen
would be due, is about $6,000."
| When all is said and done this fac
remains: The only alternative in tn,
civil service is the rotten spoils sys
tenn which breeds corruption an,
which has disgraced many previous
Republican administrations. So far
President Harding has done nothing
to uphold or to strengthen the civi
service, but on the other hand ha
done much to discredit it and tending
to destroy it.

Spanish Green Olive,
Beet and Potato Salad

A salad bears the same relation
to your dinner as hat does to
your costume. A piece of half-ripe
tomato dropped carelessly on a leaf
of lettuce and served as a salad
will detract from dinner no mat
ter how attractive and tasty the
remaining courses may be. So
many new yet simple salads are
being composed constantly that
there is no excuse for neglecting
this feature of your dinner. Here
is one that will appeal:
Cut cold boiled potatoes into
cubes and to two cups add one
small onion grated, half pint bot
tie of green olives cut in rings, a
teaspoon Of capers, and one picked
beet also cut in rings with small
vegetable cutter. Mix lightly,
taking care not to break the olive
and beet rings, and serve in let
tuce hearts with boiled or French
dressing.

WASHINGTON LETTER

Washington, April 24.--It should be
understood in advancet that the Demo-
Gratis in Congress have had no hand
or part in the framing of the tariff
bill recently reported in the Senate.
They were not called in until the tink-
ering of the bill had been completed,
and were then permitted to cast vote
on reporting the bill, but having no
opportunity to see it or study it they
naturally voted against reporting it..
The Democratic Senators, however,
have until April 20 to make minor
ity report and until then the many OBJ
.jeCtions to the measure will not be
known in detail. This much, however,
is obvious upon the face of the bill:
1t is profiteer's tariff from start to
finish, and if enacted in its present
form will greatly increase the present
high cost of living.
1t displays throughout an ignorance
of even the elementary principles of
The Farmington times. (Farmington, St. Francois County, Mo.) 1905-1926, 1922-04-28

on a section of the Constitution which
| prohibits Senator or Representative
from holding any civil office under
the United States which shall have
been created or the emoluments
| whereof shall have been increased
during the time for which he is elect
ed.
Those who voted to confirm contend
ed that membership in the Debt Re
funding Commission is not an office
within the meaning of the Constitu-
tion, but Senator Walsh Dem.,
Mont.), one of the greatest Constitu-
tional authorities of modern times,
pointed out that the mere necessity
for their confirmation by the Senate
would make them officers of the Unit
ed States.
1t would be amusing if it were not
such serious attack upon the form
of our government to see political
Senators like Bursum, Hale, McCor-
mick, Moses, New, Newberry, Wads-
worth, Watson, ct al, voting to over
ride the Judiciary Committee ,of the
Senate on Constitutional matter.
The serious side of such incidents
is that when the Senate of the United
States overrides the Constitution of
the United States in order to carry
out the wishes of the administration,
and when the President of the United
States overrides the Civil Service law
in response to partisan demands for
the spoils of office, they encourage
resistance to and contempt for law
on the part of others. At time when
lawlessness is widespread, it would
seem that the Chief Executive could
have found two men for these places
whose appointments would not have
subjected him to the charge of doing
an unconstitutional act and placing
partisan Senate in the position of ap-
proving his appoitees and ratifying
his defiance both of the Constitution
and public opinion.

Pennsylvania Independents in Revolt
Against Republican Corruption.

That the revolt of the real indie
pendent and progressive Republicans
of Pennsylvania against the reaction
airy element of their party which is
seeking to perpetuate Penroseism in
the nomination of reactionary gov
ernor and candidates for the United
States Senate, is a genuine revolt, is
shown by letter written by Henry G..
Niles of York, Pa, a prominent law
yer who has long been prominent in
political movement for the betterment
of his party, refusing to support even
such well-known progressive as
Clifford Pinchot for the gubernatorial
nomination. Recognizing the qualities
of Mr.. Pinchot, Mr.. Niles said:
"The election of John A. McSpar-
ran, the Democratic candidate, by the
votes of the independents and the pro-
gressives would do more for genuine
and thorough reform than would be
possible through any governor elected
as a Republican. There is nothing
good which could be accomplished by
Mr. Pinchot which would not be done
more certainly and more effectively by
Gov. McSparran."

Constitution gets Black Eye in Debt
Funding Appointments.

The Senate gave the Constitution of
the United States another black eye
when it voted to confirm Senator
(Newberry, Rep, Utah) and Repre-
sentative Burton tRep., 0hio) as
members of the foreign Debt Refund
ing Commission after the Judiciary
Committee of the Senate had report

pointee. The whole question hinges

Former Soldiers and Sailors Dis
missed in Violation of Law.

In view of the recent wholesale dis
charges of government employees, in
GLIDING many former soldiers and
sailors, Senator Caraway (Dem.,
Ark introduced a resolution calling
upon the President to tell how many
of such former sailors and soldiers
in the classified service had been dis
missed, denoted or had their salaries
reduced, and cited the following Fed
eral statute:
an the event of reduction being
made in the forces in any of the ex-
ecutive departments, no honorably
discharged soldier or sailor whose rec
ord in said department is rated good
shall be discharged or dropped or re-
duced in rank or in salary"
Commenting on this. Senator Cara
way said
"0uite number OF soldiers and
sailors with honorable discharges who
were within the classified service
have been dismissed from the service
without any explanation. Three of
them are in the Bureau of Engraving
and Printing. There are many Of
them in the Navy lard. There wert
son;e OF them in the Treasury Depart
ment, and the departments are dis
missing soldiers and sailors with hon.
orable discharges whose records are
good, and we want to know why.
There is cry all over this country
now that there is no respect for the
law. How can we complain when
someone becomes a bootlegger if the
highest executive officer in the land
and cabinet officers disregard the law
and deprive men of their rights? We
cannot build up a respect for law and
at the same time let those who are
charged with the duty of enforcing it
ignore it. The law is as binding upon
the President as upon the humblest
citizen in the land"
Senator Caraway brought on a col
oquy with Senator Sterling New
berry rep, S. d. chairman of the
Civil Service Committee, when he ex-
pressed the belief that his resolution
would be smothered in committee,
and then added:
"But there is a court of appeal,
above Presidents and above Cobinets,
to which court these people who have
had their character blackened, and
who have been denied the right to
make an honest living, can appeal
These women who We're discharged
can appeal to that court. These ex-
service men, who went out when Con-
gress declared that a state of war ex-
listed between this country and Ger
many, who laid down their civil en-
pigments and imperiled their lives
and their futures to save this country,
now have their rights taken from
them by the Executive and Cabinet,
and they have an appeal. It lies be-
yond this administration; it lies in the
common sense and fairness and JUS
tice of the American people, and l am
confident, sir, despite all that may
happen here, despite what the Senate
may do, that the American people are
going to hear that appeal. and do JUS
tice by these men and these women.
/ do not care whether they vote the
Republican ticket or the Democratic
ticket; they have a right to look to
the Executive and to Congress of the
United States for justice, and when it
is denied them, there is somebody,
somewhere, who is going to rebuke
those who sit in high places, and ig-
more the rights of those in humber
stations"

Roosevelt VS.. Harding.

Discussing the dismissals of the of.
ficials of the Bureau of, Engraving anC
Printing, Representative Robert Wal.
ton Moore (Dem., Va. not only point.
ed out who probably prepared the or.
der of dismissal, but drew this strik-
ing contrast between the action OF
President Harding and what would
have been the action of Theodore
Roosevelt in similar circumstances
Mr.. Moore said:
sit is circumstance of marked
Significance in the estimation of those
who dread return to the spoils sys-
tern that only few days before the
Presidents order was issued his At
torney General proclaimed himself
hostile to the present system. His ut
terance was not rebuked by the Pres
ident, but, nevertheless, l am reluc-
tant to believe that he spoke with the
Presidents authority and approval.
There have been Presidents who
would not only have rebuked him, but
dismissed him for the good of the SER
vice. Mr.. Roosevelt, who would now,
had he lived, almost certainly be in
the Presidency, who abhorred the
spoils systems and was among the
staunchest and most resolute defend
ers of the merit system, would surely
not have countenanced the doctrine
which the Attorney General has pro-
claimed, nor, in my opinion, is it con-
ceivable that he would have signed
the order which the Attorney General
doubtless prepared"

brave battle for decent politics, but in
my view reform of the Republican
party from within is impossible. The
nomination of such man as Mr.. Pin

nothing but an organization for sys-

Democratic Landslide Again in Action
in New York and Connecticut.

The democratic landslide moving
steadily across the country reached
the Thirty-seventh Congressional Dis
trict of New York on April IL, and
crushed the Republican plurality of
29, 900 down to 5000, with every city in
the district Democratic. The contest
was for the seat of Alanson B, Hough-
ton, recently appointed Ambassador
to Germany, and the Democratic can
didate was Judge Frank Irvine, who
made an aggressive campaign which
attracted the attention of the nation.
The Republicans have not even their
usual excuse of bad weather for cleo
ton day was bright and sunshiny and
a special effort was made by the Re-
publican managers to get out the
farmer and women vote.
On its way to New York the Demo-
cratic landslide took in the city of
New Britain, Conn, resulting in the
election Of Democrat for mayor, who
defeated the Republican incumbent,
thus completing the list of Democratic
mayors in all the large cities of Con-
necticut.
The most significant thing about
the special Congressional and the reg
ular municipal elections this year is
that they have invariably shown eth
er positive Democratic victories or
tremendous Democratic gains.
