shall be accepted for such purpose
at face value"
The Treasury Department has
announced that the bonds are ac-
ceptable, at par, as security for
the deposit of public money. This
includes deposits by the Post Of
flee Department. The Federal Re
serve Board has authorized the
Federal Reserve Banks to accept
these bonds as collateral security
for advances made to member
banks under the provisions of Sec
ton lob Of the Federal Reserve
Act as amended by the Act of
March 9, 1888.
The Reconstruction Finance Cor

You, of course, know that the gov
eminent guarantees the interest on

We are launching our effort on
next Tuesday morning, September
5th. The State Office, the st. Paul
Branch Office, the Minneapolis
Branch Office, and the Duluth
Branch Office will all apen on that
date. It is not required that the
individual applicant come person
ally to our offices. It will ex-
pedite matters if the applicant will
ask for an application by mail. 1t
will be mailed promptly. It can
then be filled out and mailed to our
State Office in st. Paul.
I am anxious that the widest
publicity be given to our effort
throughout the State of Mime
sofa. I have already enjoyed the
cooperation Of the press, for which
q want to thank them now. Only
through wide publicity will we be
able to get the information to
those home owners in need of re-
lief. Not only do appeal to the
press, but I appeal to the bankers
of the State of Minnesota. To help
the distressed home owners, I ap-
peal to you ladies and gentlemen
to give me your wholehearted CO
operation in dirtcting them to us
so that not one worthy case may
| be overlooked.
| In conclusion I want to repeat
what I said to President Roosevelt
and to our Board of Directors at
Washington. "It is my aim to
have the administration of the
Home Owners Loan Corporation in
Minnesota be so outstandingly sue
cessful that we shall lead all other
states"

prehensive list Of things to be accom-
plished In the family's absence. His
intentions were excellent. The vaca-
ton period should be his golden oppor-
tunity to catch up with his ambitions
for household improvements. He would
spend his leisure hours on the little
jobs around the place that so much
need to be attended to. In his de-
sign he omitted only one factor-that
strange inability to concentrate on any
single business In an unnaturally empty
house.
The evenings he had dedicated to
work drag themselves into history, one
by one. He listens to the radio, he
tries to read, he potters about aim
lessly. In the end he goes to bed, but
not invariably to sleep. Instead. he lies
awake, wondering about the Missus and
small Junior and the baby. And per.
haps he also pays his unspoken compli-
ments to the theorists who pretend to
imagine that "it is good for q family
to be separated occasionally"
However, Daddy has one comfort
he knows they will come back. The
Summer will end. That is what pre-
vents him from sending for them in
stantly or from dropping everything
and going to them wherever they may
be- Certainly. he does not want them

the contrary. he is happy that they
can be In q more congenial environ
ment. And his reward will be the

He pays in the coin Of love. and 1t Is

Scrapping the Merit System.

Chairman William r. Stevenson of
the Federal Home Loan Bank Board,
who has some eight to ten thousand
Jobs at his disposal, said some time ago
that he would use his own merit sys-

for description Of this merit system. he
explained that 1t was necessary for an
applicant to have the Endorsement OF
his Senator or his Representatives.
cause 1t would be impossible for the
Federal Home Loan Bank Board to
know the qualifications Of every appli-
cant, and the Senators and Representa-
tives ARE better acquainted with the
merits of the persons considered" Only
the views Of Democratic Senators and
Representatives are, naturally, being
sought.
In statement yesterday before leav-
ing on a brief Summer vacation, COM
bined with official business" Mr.. Steven
son went little further and flatly an
nounced that the policy of re-employing
men and women with civil service status
dropped from their positions in the
regular establishments, will not be fol-
lowed by the Federal Home Loan Bank
Board. This is contrary TO the wishes
expressed by the President, as inter-
preted by Secretary Of Commerce Roper
but that. apparently, makes no differ
ence to Mr. Stevenson and the Federal
Home Loan Bank Board.
It is true that Mr.. Stevenson is amply
fortified by the wording of the act

Family Away"

Perhaps the commonest conversational
phrase Just now is: THE family's
away" Washington is alive with
Summer bachelors" The Missus and
the youngsters have gone to the coun-
try, the mountains or the seashore.
Daddy is carrying on. It happens every
year
And it is curious thing, psyche
logically. The house seems so empty.
Dust gathers on the furniture, and
dishes accumulate In the kitchen sink.
Pictures on the walls wiggle out of
their normal alignment, and nobody
sets them straight. The laundry basket
is crammed with masculine raiment
waiting to be washed and ironed.
Things are put down anywhere and re-
main where they are put, to add to
the growing confusion. Disorder reigns.
OF course, q few days before the fam
lily returns everything will be adjusted
in q panic of anticipation. The collec-
ton of soiled dishes will be dealt with.
The laundry will be sent of to the
usual sawmill. The dust will be more
or less sketchily removed. The house
will be returned to some semblance of
what President Harding called nor
malcy" And the Missus will have o
less trying task Of reconstruction than
she expects.
But, meanwhile, Daddy Is, too, rest

What Are the Facts

Two precinct detectives have beer
suspended on the allegations of q
colored prisoner that they attacked him
with their fists and beat him during ar
examination. The case was referred by
the police to the United States at
torney, Mr.. Rover, who sent one Of his
assistants to interview the man. An
other caller, who interviewed the
prisoner was former employer. 1t is
now said that the prisoner will not
prosecute, and the case may be dropped
by the United States attorneys Office
1t is also said that in proceedings be-
fore the Police Trial Board there must
be a prosecuting witness There may
be none.
It will be interesting to see whether
the case against the detectives is
dropped. In view of past experiences
Of the Police Department in connection
with so-called third degree practices
It would seem wise for the department
to continue It's own investigation, in
dependently CT other agencies, and to
discover whether the evidence already
in its possession Is of sufficient weight
to justify disciplinary action. 1t would
be enlightening. for instance, for the
public to be told what the evidence was
that led to the precinct detectives
suspension.

status Is . prime consideration. For
the act states specifically that appoint
ments can be made without regard 10
the provisions of other laws" And
Mr.. Stevenson Is to be commended Tor
candidly stating his own policy.
But one naturally wonders how long
it will be before the taxpayers wake
UP to the fact that policy Of scrap
ping the merit system in favor Of filling
Government jobs through the patronage
system is one Of the most expensive
luxuries at the disposal Of politicians.
Practically the only guarantee to those
who pay the bills that their public
servants are competent and efficient lies
in the merit system. The only feasible
merit system Is founded on competi-
tive examination. open to all the citi-
zens Of the United States. 1t Is a
dangerous thing for a government that
is trying to save dollars by pay cutting
and lay-offs to announce through one
of its agencies at the same time an
open disregard for the merit system in
filling new positions. It Is costly
wasteful and injurious to the Federal
service.

Great care in exercising the power Of
the Government is urged by the Newark

fare these who are disposed to hold
out" The Rutland Herald states that

right to tax. Is held also to be the
right to destroy, is firmly conferred on
the President"
AS to the results, the Scranton Times
says: 1.-THE extent to which the Presi-

evident from the wire by the post

agreements filed with him before noon.

Establishments getting into line. but
