Z VIEWED in retrospect there can
be little question that tf1e latest
" German election must be reck-
oned the most important since
the first. Almost 10 years after
the revolution Of November 8, 1918, the
people of Germany have decisiVely
demonstrated that the monarchy is a
thing of the past
The Nationalist party has lost all
popular appeal. On the face Of the
election returns of the recent test the
party which supports the old order lost
SO seats in the Reichstag and more
than 100000 votes. BY contrast, the
Socialist party, which is republican
without qualification, gained II seats
and 100000 votes; while the Com
munjst party, which represents the ex-
treme anti-monarchical group. gained
9 nine seats and over 100000 votes.
Put concisely, there are just half as
many Nationalists as Socialists. While
all the Socialists are republican, net
all the Nationalist are eager for
restoration of the Hchenzollerns.
What makes the present election sig
nificant is the fact that the progress
of the Nationalists has been decisively
arrested. This is another way OF say
ing that Germany has recovered from
the consequences Of the occupation Of
the Ruhr, which narrowly escaped de-
stroying the republic and gave both
the Nationalists and the Communists
dangerous strength.
Figures Show Evolution.
Looking back over the last four cleo
tions in the German Republic, the fig
ures show the evolution. Starting with
the pre-Ruf1r Reichstag, the figures for
the several groups are as follows:
Socialists and Communists, that is,
anti-nnnnarchiSts.
Evening star., 1928-06-03

From these figures it will be manifest
that following the occupation Of the
Ruhr there was a striking reaction.
The monarchiStS, the supporters Of the
old regime. had been struck down by
the military defeat and the revolution.
In the Reichstag which was sitting in
1923. when the Rufr was occupied, they
counted only 81 votes of their own and
had but 3 additional.
Against them were allied the Social
lists, the Centre, the Democrats. who
counted 280 votes in chamber OF
about 500 This was the Weinlar bloc,
which had made the constitution and
elected Ebert as the first President Of
the republic. In the new Reichstag It
counted only 1877 members and lost
control. 1t made a coalition with the
Peoples party and, aided by the Bava-
rian Peoples party, counted 247 votes,
a little less than clear majority.
Shift Over Dawes Plan.
At the second election, in 1924, there
was a considerable shift due 70 the
Dawes plan. AS result the Weimar
bloc and the Peoples party were able
TO count 251 votes out Of 493. But
this was a slender margin, and the
machine was kept going by a nom
partisan cabinet, headed by DR.. Luther.
It broke down, however, because the
Social Democrats ultimately refused to
support it.
A new combination was formed. the
Socialists and the Democrats going
openly to the opposition and the Ma
tionalists entering the Government.
This combination was also insecure,
counting 251 votes and actually retain
ing Office because the opposition. for
various reasons. declined to throw it
out and take Office II collapsed due
to the quarrel between the Centre and
the Peoples party over school legis-
lation.
Abroad. the temperance of the Ma
tionaliSts in the cabinet. where they
held the dominating position. was
disastrous. France saw in the re-
surgence of the old men and ideas a
menace to ner security. a denial of

about which we, as individuals, have

notion. While it is splendid to have

Konjola is a new medical prepa-
ration that helps Nature keep the
inner organs Of the human body
functioning properly; or if one is
suffering from disorders of the
stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels,
or nervousness, rheumatism and
neuritis troubles, it will bring about

Hooks drug store, Illinois and
Washington Sts., Indianapolis,
where he talks to men and women
in all walks of life every day and
explains to them the merits Of this
celebrated compound.
II haven't had rheumatism since
I finished a treatment of Konjola,
over five months ago." states Mr..
Jesse Butler. a well-known Indian
apolis citizen, living at 1919 Kappes
street, and employed by the Mar
mon Motor Company of this city.
Before I started with Konjola,
my health was in terribly rundown
condition and I was never able to
find anything to help me. My trou-
BILE started with a sour, acid storn-
ach and in spite Of the different
remedies I began taking in hope Of
ending this unhealthy condition be-
fore it got too far, my health con-
tinued to go from bad to worse Ny
stomach would bloat up to almost
twice its normal size after eating
and I was subject to belching ua
bits Of undigested food and a hot,
bitter liquid that caused a burning
sensation from my throat to the pit
Of my stomach. Then I began suf-
fering from rheumatism. In damp,
rainy weather my whole body would
be affected and every Joint would
feel sore and achy for days after
ward. Gnawing pains in my limbs
kept me awake.
when 1 started to take Konjola;
I had only hoped it would end my
stomach trouble and didn't think IL
would help all my trouble really
did not expect it from a single medi-
cine. 1t put my stomach in good
shape in such a short time that
was surprised and felt it would be
worth while to keep on taking this
medicine little while longer. Now,
I am glad didn't stop as soon as il
relieved those awful stomach mis-
cries Within two more weeks ( was
almost free Of every ache and pain
in my body and by the time ] fin
ished the treatment, my health was
in better condition in every wav
than it had been for several wears
Konjola is a wonderful medicine
and I strongly indorse it."
The Konjola Man Is at Hooks
Drug Store. Illinois and Washington

daily meeting the public and intro
ducing and explaining the merits OF
this remedy. Konjola is sold in

COUNCIL BACKS
BILL FOR civil
SERVICE BOARD
Calls on Mayor to Adopt
Plans for City Police
and Firemen.

Mayor L. Ert Slack today faced
the unanimous demand of city
councilmen that a civil service de-
partment" be established and funds
for its operation be included in the
1929 appropriation.
A councilmanic resolution intro
duced by John F. White, civil serv-
ice commissioner under the DuvalI
administration, was unanimously
adopted by councilmen Monday
night.
Slack, who has evaded the civil
service question since his election
Nov. 8, continued his "non-com-
initial policy" today. It is under
stood several city officials who are
interested in politics are opposing
the plan. Civil service was adopted
by the Duvall cabinet for the po-
lice and fire departments, but was
rescinded shortly before Duvall was
unseated.
Councilman Meredith Nicholson
introduced an amendment to the
resolution to provide that the de-
partment members be appointed by
the mayor"
Nicholson said the resolution was
for the purpose of bringing the
merits Of the civil service plan to
the Mayors attention"
II think civil service will have the
support Of citizens generally. Such
a system would care for complaints
OF inefdciency against city employees
and serve as a remedy for inconpe-
tence," Nicholson said.
Nicholson pointed out that a
school for police and f1remen prob
ably would be established under the
plan.

conditions are such that civil servs
ice would benefit the administration.
The Mayor agreed to consider this
question very seriously after the
mayorality tangle was settled. I
think this is the appropriate time
to start the department"
He said he believed such a de-
partment would relieve the Mayor
and executive officers of the burden
OF selecting and promoting en-
ployes.
Fair treatment would be guaran-
teed to each city employe and re-
move outside pressure during polit-
ical campaigns. This step is in keep
ing with the plan to prepare the
city for the city manager form OF
