LEAGUE ASKS PASSAGE

Abolished.

Letters have been sent to the mem
bers of the House by Secretary
Marsh of the National Civil Service
Reform League, urging their sup
port of the Lehlbach bill transferring
the functions of the personnel classi-
| ncation boari to the Civil Service
Commission.
A report of special committee of
the league adopted by the national
organization at meeting December
last, was enclosed. This report
recommended that "at the earliest
possible date the participation of the
by legislation"
Mr.. Marsh, in his letter, said:
The United States Civil Service
Commission has by it's long experi-
ence and its activities in connection
with all the government departments
ana estabilshments acquired the in
FORMATION and the ability properly
to administer the provisions of the
recIasslhcation act. 1t has been sug-
Sested that new agency should be
created for this purpose. If such
agency is created, il will almost in
hhl'aDIy ~ lead to a continuation OF
the present state of confusion be-
cause of lack of proper alliance with
the civil Service Commission.
Even with such alliance there is
apt to be needless friction and wasted
effort. The additional expense en-
is apparent. Even though the agency
may be created without salary for
its mead, additional expense is in
cNitable. The only economical
method and the method which will
give the greatest assurance that the
work Will be wen done is to eenter
IL in the hands, of the Civil Service
Commission"

LEGION AND LABOR
URGE IMMIGRANT. BAR
Quinn Joins With Gompers in Sup
port of Further Restriction
of Aliens.

The American Legion and the
American Federation Of Labor agree
upon the desirability Of absolute
stoppage of immigration for the pres
ent, but, in the absence of absolute
stoppage, demand the strictest pos
sible limitation, according to ar
ticles by John r. Quinn and Samuel
Gompers, heads, respectively. Of the
two organizations, which will appear
in the April issue Of the American
Fed rationist.
The joining OF these two forces TO
combat propaganda for Unrestricted
immigration is offered as an indica-
ton of the fact that tie great masses
of American people are entirely out
OF sympa thy with the attacks being
lcveled at the Johnson bill or at any
proposal to restrict the inflow of Eu-
ropeans," said a statement from the
Federation.
Commander Quinn declares the
melting pot has become impotent
and that, in order to keep America
a true democracy, we should suspend
immigra tion for whatever period may
be necessary until we provide ma
chinery to teach immigrants how to
live up to the American standards of
living, to our ideals and our tradi-
tionS"
President Gompers declared: Amer
ica must not be overwhelmed. Every
effort to enact immigration legisla-
tion must expect to meet a number Of
hostile forces, and in particular,
two hostile forces of considerable
strength" These, he said, are COM
posed of corporation employers who
desire to employ physical strength
at the lowest possible wage and the
racial groups in the United States
who oppose all restrictive legislation
because they want the doors left open
for an influx of their countrymen
regardless of the menace to the peo-
pie of their adopted country.

CHAPTER xxx.
Why Col. House and Woodrow Wilson
Separated,

There was never 4 break between
Col House and President Wilson
Strictly speaking. it was GOODNESS
and separation-in contrast with
the warm friendship and intimacy OF
nearly eight years. After leaving the
White House. Woodrow Wilson never
saw Col. House again.
Like all great men, Mr.. Wilson had
certain weaknesses, and one was a
peculiar susceptibility to what tradi-
tionally is known as court gossip
and what. in the parlance of an
American democracy, is sometimes
defined as "tattle." Prejudices were
conveyed to him by those who tried
to sway his Judgment, and Mr.. Wilson
uuconsciously absorbed those preju-
dices and dropped many of his friends
without even giving them an oppor-
tunity to present their side of the
controversy.
The experience of President Wilson
with Col. House is probably unprece-
dented in all history. 1t has about it
al air of mystery as well as tragedy
No man ever served another with the
same zeal and with the same indif-
ference to reward as did Col. r. NJ
House. His discharge from the PreSi-
dents confidence occurred in Paris
1t was as much a shock to Col House
himself as it was to all who had fol-
lowed the Damon and PythiaS rela- :
tionship which had sprung up be-
tween the two men.
Position Was Extraordinary.
col House occupied a position so
extraordinary and yet so influential
object of much envy. He had gone to
Europe in advance of the President
and had been dealing with allied
statesmen so long that. he felt he
knew their maneuvers and could
guide the President in handling them.
When Mr.. Wilson reached Paris he
found Col. House in close contact
with the entire situation. The allied
statesmen continued to deal with the
colo mel, in the hope that he might in
t'uence President Wilson. Instead of
occupying, therefore. a position sub
ordinate to the President, he really
became an interim ediary between the
President, on the one hand, and the
allied statesmen on the other. The
headquarters of the American Peace
Commission were at the Hotel Crillon
where Col. House held forth. The
other members of the Peace Commits
the most part there were no meetings
of the entire peace delegation a
which any action was taken except
10 ratify conclusions already reached
in conference either by the President
or Col. House. Relatives OF Col. House
were attached to his staff. The
unique position of the colonel devel-
oped the usual antipathy, so that
among the Americans in and about
the American Peace Commi iSSion there
We're two groups-those who We're
antiHouSe and those who were for
him. Those who opposed did not hes
itate to spread the word. which even
tually reached the President, that Col
HouSeh ad set up a sort of counter
establishment at the Hotel Crillon.
One day the President happened in al
the Crillon to see Col. House, who
talked with him a few minutes and
excused himself in order to receive
Premier Clemenceau. Incidents of
this kind were not lost upon those
who sought to give the impression
that the colonel was trying to lord
IL over his chief.

A water main, connecting with the

Pheasant, Swan, Ducks
To Grace Glen Park

The brilliant pheasant, the grace
full swan and the lordly mallard may
soon find refuge in the ample reaches
of beautiful Glen Park if plans now
maturing in the River Falls chapter
of the Izaak Walton League finally
materialize.
At the chapters organization
meeting, held in the City Hall Mon
day evening these subjects, and many
more, were brought up for discussion
and placed in the hands of the sever
al committees. The League, in con-
junction with the Rod & Gun Club,
has mapped out strenuous progra n,
and the enthusiasm shown at the
meeting indicates a successful sea-
son.
Secretary G. E. Shepard informed
the Chapter that upon attainment of
a membership of rs it would re-
ceive the gift of sixty pounds of
wild rice for distribution wherever
directed by the Chapter. This rice
may be grown in either of the local
ponds, and a committee has been
directed to determine the place where
it would be best suited for attract
ing migratory ducks. The same
committee will take up the matter of
stocking the Park with pheasants
and securing a pair of swan for the
lower pond.
The Waltonians will join the Park
Board in carrying out Mayor Var
natta's scheme for planting trees in
Glen Park. This will be done either
during Forest Protection Week,
April 21-27, or on Arbor Day, May 8.
