about the bluejay that took the
raspberries. :. :" we began.
This robin" Miss Gallup con-

one day. We hadn't had any

sprinkler going. AS soon as she
spotted the water she ruffled
her wings and hoped beneath
the cooling spray with a chirp
of delight. There she stayed for
half an hour or SO -"

THE next day was just as
hot and the robin made several
trips to the sprinkler. After
that she came every day and

sprinkler wasn't turned on, she'd
perch on my shoulder and chirp
for it. One day, to tease her,

debate commanded instant respect among his colleagues
That respect endured until his death and was trans

AS the New Deal Speaker of the House Mr. Rainey's
task was delicate and difficult.
He entered upon his duties with aority which
split by personal and political differences
Largely because of the Speakers personality those diff

majority able to carry out the wishes of the Admin
istration in virtually every instance.
Mr.. Raney piloted through the House the great

from him and take action which opposed by the
President In both of those instances Mr. Raney stood

President Roosevelt's visit to
the famous Mayo brothers
clinic in Rochester, Mimi, seems
to have perpleXed some people.
They want to know why the
Chief Executive made so great
an effort to pay tribute to the
famous physicians.
The reason" was none other
than Admiral Cary T. GraysOn.
There probably is no man
whom the Chief Executive
cares more for than Grayson,
the physician of the late Wood
row Wilson. The Admiral is
one of his best friends and prob
ably the best.
Several months ago when the
Admiral was seriously i'll he
went to the Mayo brothers for
a major operation that prob
ably saved his life.
Those who know say that the
President visited the clinic to
pay a personal tribute to the
Mayo brothers for saving the
life of his friend.
Internal friction in the AAA
threatens to produce a cOnfla-
grafton in rural districts that
may seriously jeOpardize the
Democratic candidates who seek
the farmers vote in approach
ing elections.
At this time candidates are
in dire need of arguments
which will convince the farmer
of the benefits of the Agricul-
tural Adjustment AdminiStra-
ton.
But that organization appears
to forget its task of mailing
checks to farmers for crop re-
ductionS.
The contract records and
audit units were combined. De-
generation of morale, increased
chaos, and a decrease in the
number of checks mailed are
the result.
Those checks that eventually
reach the farmer are frequently
in error.
Procedure is altered from day
to day. New supervisors have
been put to work, but appar-
emily have failed to produce
correct results.

Merit System Loses Ground
By James T. Williams, Jr.

President sevelt has
finally taken cognizance Of the
rising tide of public indigna-
tion over the debauching of
the Federal service by the sac
rlfice of the merit system of
making appointments and the
substitution of the spoils sys-
tenn.
Upon the receipt of an earn
est appeal from the National
Civil Service Reform League to
call a halt on the extension of
the spoilS system President
Roosevelt let it be known that
he is still in favor Of the merit
system, still an advocate of
civil service reform and would
like to see the classified civil
service of the Federal Govern
ment not only maintained but
made stronger.
This will be heartening news
to all advocates of the merit
system. They will hope that
the President will soon suit
vigorous action to his eloquent
words to the newspapers in
support of civil service reform.
Ruthless Raid
Meantime the situation in
the Federal Service is clearly
described in the letter which
the President has just received
from the chairman and secre-
tary of the executive commit
tee of the National Civil Ser
vice Reform League. 1t seems
that more than a year ago the
President assured the league in
letter now on file at its
headquarters that he hoped the
merit system would be eX
tended and improved during
his term of office.
How far from realization this
hope of Mr.. Roosevelt still is
the record of his Administration
to date makes painfully mani
fest. Instead of extending the
merit system. new Federal agen-
cies have been established en-
ploying some ninety thousand
persons, practically all of whom
have been excepted from the
civil service law.
This raid of the political
spoilsmen of his party has been
made on the Federal service in
the face of the Presidents as
surance to the Civil Service Re-
form League more than a year
ago that the merit system in
civil service is in no danger at
my hands, but, on the contrary,
I hope that it will be extended
and improved during my term
as President"
To demonstrate the ruthless
ness with which the spoils sys-
tenn has been extended during
the present Administration the
National Civil Service Reform
League officials called to the
Presidents attention an order
recently issued by the Secretary
Of the Interior.
This order requires that each
recommendation for appoint
ment to a non-civil service posi-
ton in the Reclamation Service
shall be supported by clearance
from some appropriate official

retary Wallace may blame such
errors on the human factor.
What the Administration ap-
parently fOrgets is that there
is a human factor among the
farmers and it will take silver
tOngued candidate to convince
them they should support an
organization that uses such dila-
tory tactics in performing its
duty.
The Marine Corps announced
the promotion of certain officers
the other day. Among the names
1UaS that of a high-rGnking Of
ticer Who almost failed to make
the grade because of petty poll
tics.
When lieutenant colonel,
he was ordered to Quantico. He
went to his post and his wife
arrived some time later. In the
interim he called on the COM
manding officer and his wife.
When the colonel's wife ar
rived she waited for the wife
of the commanding officer to
repay the call. The call was
not made.
The two women argued over
who should pay the visit.
So intense did the argument
become that the colonel was
eliminated from the promotion
list. And only by a strenuous
campaign did he have his name
replaced so as to permit his
recent promotion.

} by Nelson Rehmeyer, a recluSe
farmer.
The following, transcript of
part of the court record, with
Blymyer answering the ques-
tions of his attorney, is most
illuminating as to the ways OF
witch doctors:
"Show the court what she did
with the dollar bill"
"She put it on my hand and
said some words. I looked down
in my hand, and there I could
see Nelson Rehmeyer."
What did you say them"
"I asked her what would break
the spell. She told me to get the
book, The Long Lost Friend
from Rehmeyer or lock of his
hair"
Did she know that Rehmeyer
had such a book?"
"She must have. She told me
to get the book
Blymyer went on to tell how,
with 18-year-old Clayton Hess
and 14-year-old John Curry. he
drove out to Rehmeyer's home
for the book or the lock of hair,
the burial of either of which
was to free him of all his ills,
real and IMAGINARY
But Rehmeyer would give up
neither the book nor the lock.
They fought, and the old man
was beaten to the earth with
sticks. trussed up and left to die
when his house was set afire.
The thin, pale-faced Blymyer
took his conviction calmly. Il
am happy now," he said. Il am
beWitched no longer. I can eat
and sleep and am not pining
away"
The 14-year-old accomplice,
John Curry. who played
prominent part in the actual
killing, is the recipient of the
communication of sentence re-
Gently granted by the State
parole board and Governor
Pinchot.
Instead of life imprisonment
he must serve 10 years. Five
have already passed and in an
other five he will be eligible
for parole. Similar to the
Blymyer case is that of the
murder of Mrs. Susan Mum
may by Albert Shinsky on
March 18 of this year.
ShinSky shot her through the
window of her home because
eight years ago she brought
down a spirit from the sky
which has kept me i'll, tired
and depressed ever since"
He had had a dispute with
the woman over the ownership
of some land and the spell
that she put upon him robbed
him of all initiative and caused
a great black cat with green
eyes to visit him twice a month
and tear at his sides. When
seven "pow-wow doctors" could
do nothing for him, be decided
upon the murder.

Political clearance is defined
in the order as meaning either
the endorsement or the consent
of the chairman of the Demo-
cratic central committee, or the
chairman of the Democratic
central committee in the county
or State in which the applicant
claims legal residence.
This is the method devised by
the chairman of the Democratic
national committee and of the
New York Democratic central
committee, who is serving PreSi-
dent Roosevelt as Postmaster
General, to build up the vast bu-
reauCracy of which Mr.. Farley
is both the architect and arch
manipulation.
These are some of the circum-
stances which in its appeal to
the President to halt the spread
of the SpoilS system the National
Civil Service Reform League of.
fered these respectful obServa-
tionS:
"In view of your own frank
expressions of concern for the
integ- ity of the merit system,
the League cannot but regret
the issuance of the recent Exec
utive order, dated June %, re-
moving from the competitive
classified service, with your au-
thOrity, all positions in the Ma
tiOnal Soldiers Home at John
son City, Tenn. These positions
were placed in the competitive
service by an Executive order
pursuant to authority vested in
the President by an act of Con
gress of July 3, 1880. Most of
them are held by employees of
long service and proved compe-
tence.
"They could hardly be consid-
cred in any sense as other than
rOutin e administrative posts.
Your consent to their restOra-
ton to the political class can
not be otherwise than disap-
pointing to those to whom your
assurance of last August was
given"
Farley Control
1t seems to be doubtful
whether President Roosevelt
was correctly Informed what the
effect of his johnson City order
would be when he signed it last
month. Upon his return from
Hawaii he appeared to be under
the impression that all he had
done was to require these ap-
pointeeS should be given civil
service examinations to test
their fitness to hold their Jobs.
However, good may be the in
tentlonS of the President, how
ever high his hopes for the ex-
tention of the merit system. his
intentions will be baked and his
hopes dashed as long as he per.
