the background. 1t was not likely that her
work would be noticed, not to the extent of
giving her another chance. Then what was
to become of her? Would she sink again
into oblivion? Would it be necessary for
her to give up her bungalow that she had
grown to love, and with it all the rest and
delightful leisure of her new life?
She was thinking all these things over one
evening she sat alone in the living room of
her little house, when suddenly there sounded
the shrek of a Klaxon outside and two blaz-

Repeal of Civil Service Laws By G. O. P. Stirs Up Miss
 Marjorie Cheney.

Miss Marjorie Cheney, who has been endorsed for the Legislature by botl Republicans and Democrats of Man chester, has made the following state ment to Miss Owen, executive secre tary of the Connecticut Civil Service Association of which Chas C. Morris democratic nominee for Governor, is ar active member
 T believe i'll the principle of appoint ment to the public service for merit Clearly 1t will be impossible to hold the most competent and faithful worker in public service if they are liable to be turned out with every change of ad- ministratio
 One problem is to devise exanlina- tlons that are really a fair test of fit ness of office, Most large industrial concerns find it possible to devise tests that will enable them to select more compitent employees and Lcan see nc reason why similar tests cannot be ap- piled to the public service Then a req sonable degree of security in tenure O! ottlce should be assured to faithful ana efficient employees, On the other hand the heads of departments should have reasonable power to discharge em- ployees whose service Is unsa atisfactory tor If discharge Is made too difficult T department head cannot be held respon- slble for the efficiency of his staff. "A reasonable civil service law, hay ing due regard to these requirements should have the support of all interested III clean government"
 Miss Cheney's views on the subject Of a Civil Service, Merit System law tor the State of Connecticut, are shared by hundreds of voters in this State who condemn the repeal of the Civil Ser vice law by the 1921 Legislature and who advocate the enactment by law Of the merit principle i'll the appointment, promotion, and discharge of all em- ployees of the State
 Ii it is true that three hundred mil lion dollars can be saved annually in the Civil Service of the United States by application of the Merit System. then it follows that proportional saving can be made to the State of Connecticut by adoption of the Merit System, provide adequate pay for adequate work, i'm prove methods Of selecting employees, and introduce up-to-date business me thods. in the State government

 Just prior to the opening of the re- cent reparation conference at London all political parties having representa- ton in the Canadian House of Com mons were united in insisting upon the Dominion having representation on the British delegation. After the exchange of many communications between the Canadian government and the colonial secretary, Rt. Hon. J. H. Thomas, this was finally conceded
 To prevent a recurrence of this 1t was proposed that an imperial confer ence be held at London in October of this year. While nothing has as yet been officially arranged the general opinion in official circles here Is that if the conference is not held in Octo- Der, as originally intended, it can not long be delayed.

 Last week the board held an ex parte hearing Representatives of the West ern roads appeared and gave an ex- tended recital of the origin and exten- sion of number of rules which have formed a part of previous wage agree ments that the roads now want elini- mated.
 At the same time Chairman Hooper issued subpoenas directed against Pres
 dent D. B. Robertson of the B. of L, F. and E., and John Mcclure, general chairman of the B. L. E., on the Chi cago & North Western system.
 As at previous hearings" neither Robertson nor McGuire appeared be- fore the board, but i'll their place came Donald R. Richberg, their attorney, who restated what he had told the board at several preceding "hearings" of this case-that the board had assumed juris- diction in a case not justified by the Transportation Act, and, furthermore, that the board had no authority, as es- tablished by court decisions, to compel the appearance of witnesses to testify in any case; that the board occupies merely an 'advisory'' capacity, accord ing to ruling of the United States Su- preme Court i'll the Pennsylvania case.
 However, Chairman Hooper went forthwith and hired a lawyer, evidently with the consent of Attorney General Stone, of the Department of Justice, to carry the case against the two brother hoods and their executives into the United States District Court of Chicago.
 New subpoenas were issued by Chair man Hooper, after changing the word ing therein from Ito give evidence n behalf of the employees" to "give evil dence in an inquiry being conducted by the Railroad Labor Board"
 Attorney Weymouth Kirkland of Chi cago was hired and instructed to pro- ceed forthwith to obtain a court order that would either bring the labor off, cials before the board or send them to jail for contempt of court,
 The new subpoenas are directed against only two labor officials, Robert son and McGuire, whereas heretofore some 90 general chairnlen of the two brotherhoods on Western roads had been invited to come before the board and give evidence.
 No date, as yet has been set by the federal court for a hearing of the ap- peal made by the board

 These so-called "hearings" were sus- pended from time to time when repre- sentatives of the brotherhoods failed to appear and testify. However Chairman Hooper and other members of the board were made acquainted with the fact

 VETS BONUS IN
 CAMPAIGN TALK
Victories By Advocates of Measure Show 1t Is Full of
 Dynamite.

1 Washington, Sept. 2.-Following a
 series of smashing defeats the Repub- 1 lican national leaders have decided to l ignore the soldiers bonus as an cleo ton issue.
 They will also keep off, the war rec
 ord of Senator Robert M. La Toilette.
 On the day that congress passed rhe bonus over the presidents veto, the old
 guard leaders, aided by the influential
 bankers, who had opposed the bonus,
 set out to "get" every conspicuous Re by the soldier veterans in their claim
 for justice.
 Senator Lodge was scorned at the Cleveland convention. Senator Capper and Senator Curtis were publicly de- nounced by chambers of commerce in Kansas Representative Gibson was read out of the party in the presidents na- tive state of Vermont. Representative Beedys photo was turned to the wall i'll the most prominent defense of the tonus was one of the causes of the old guards decision to send him back to lrivate life, if possible
 There have been significant election tests i'll those widely-scattered sections of the country recently which have scared off the Republican National lea ders on the bonus issue. All except Lodge and Curtis have been candidates for reelection or renomlnatlOn,

 All those victories were earned III popular primaries and elections They were verdicts of the voters, if one ot those men had been defeated, the Re publican National leaders were prepared victory They have now decided to re- tain stand by the President as the Ma tiona1 slogan but to omit reference to the bonus in discussions of that clarion call
 There is a difference of opinion among Republican leaders as to whe- ther Mr La FolIette's course i'll the war should be assailed or ignored. Their D1ar -o a+tack him in general terms, without specific facts, have been halted by the hearty Endorsement made ot La Toilette by the overseas veterans and by the reply made by Senator Wheeler to a heckler i'll New York State.
 Senator Wheeler said that Senator La Toilette had voted against war, but once this country decided upon that course he threw his great energy be- hind every movement for benefit ot the soldiers and sailors, and was in the l front rank of bonus advocates III the l five years of bitter battling for adjusted | He contrasted Senator | La Toilette with those who sent the sol diers away with cheer and rosy pro niscs and who promptly proceeded to forget the soldiers upon their return,

Teddy the first" emerged from

and a politician with big following.
Teddy the second" fought in the
World War, won three medals,
emerged a colonel and discovered
that he, too, had won political popu-
larity.

sistant Secretary of the Navy. Inc
younger Theodore will resign the

White House Son is just reaching
toward that rung in the ladder of
political fame which is marked Ex-
ecutiye Mansion, Albany.
81 Years Old.
The Theodore Roosevelt OF THIS
generation was born at oyster Bay
~ wears ago. He was educated in
New York received an A. i. in three
wears at Harvard and entered the
Garnet business Then he became
wall street broker and two years
later became third partner IN hrrl'
as manager of the New York once;
He married Miss Eleanor Buier
Alexander in 1910.
When the United States entered the
World War, Roosevelt trained al

! major. was gassed, wounded and was
decorated. returned home a lieuten-
ant colonel and abandoned brokerage
for politics. He was elected TO the

Why should we tear our shirts?"
said one of them today eff the ma
tional committee shows that 1t does
not care whether the electoral votes
of the State are cast for Coolidge or
not?"
In the race for State Office, the Re-
pubiicans are hooked up with the DEM
ocrats. The organization, therefore,
of the Republicans in all the counties
| and districts to work for Coolidge
for President becomes increasingly
difficult.
Another thing which Republicans
! here say showed lack of judgment on
the part of the Washington outfit
| was the appointment of Representa-
tive Young, Republican, of the sec
ond district, as a member of the
United States Court of Customs Ap-
peals. He has resigned. A special
election to fill his place is to be held
November 4. II may be hard to fill

the election be thrown into the

be elected to the second district, then

as that of New York-would be cast
for La Toilette and against Coolidge

The $21 100000 in funds and assist

OF the earthquake is not considered a
factor in the relations between the

England RECEIVERS her national

America, especially America, have
developed their air forces, and, still
more, after d full accord is reached
between England and Russia, our

nothing. However, with conditions
as they are today, when England and
Russia have not yet formed coali-

will not mean the destruction of our
country.

only way by which we can make
America reconsider. BY pushing this
