Armistice Day

Armistice Day this year will be
celebrated in peace only in Ameri.
ca.
This announcement from the
White House failed to receive the
headlines accorded the latest bulle.
tins from Europe.
But the story back of that an.
nouncement is one that has a
strong appeal of every American
home.
It means that America is at
peace; that it intends to celebrate
that peace, and that America has
no intention of breaking that
peace.
Such is not the case in Europe.
In France and England this No
vember II, men will march. Flags
will wave. Drums will rattle and
bands will play. But this European
military display will be in hope OF
a new Armistice yet to come. In
America it will be for an Armistice
already achieved.
This is significant in the light of
the unpublished debate which Is
going on in the cloak rooms of the
Capitol. More and more the off the
record talk is to the effect that
this is not Americas war and that
the only sure way by which Amer
lea can become involved is for
America to talk herself into war.
To some, at first, the thought OF
the United States talking itself In
to war, was ridiculous. But after
some six weeks of war this state
ment provokes few aughts. 1t is
now recognized by many in Wash
ington as the most dangerous war
factor with which the country
must deal.
1t comes about this way:
The average American is In
terested in his wife, his children,
his home, his job, his town and his
favorite hobby, whether that be
golf course, the fishing tackle or
the like.
Mr.. Average American also Is
honest. He pays his debts. He
goes to church. He gives to charity
and he sympathizes with those
who have drawn less favorable
place in life than he.
This background completely dis
arms him mentally for an ap-
probation or understanding of the
power politics" of the restless
millions of Europe. He attempts to
understand the European in the
way that he would analyze a new
neighbor in the community and
thereby he makes a mistake.-Ex-
change.

Free Speech Held
Civil Service Aim
In 1903 Ruling
Doyle, Veteran Aide,
Recalls O. K. on Private
Political Remarks

The Civil Service Commission was
Under the impression that a con-
cession was being made to the prin-
ciple of free speech in 1908 when it
was ruled that civil service employees
might express privately" their po-
lltical views, it was recalled today
by John T. Doyle, veteran commits
sion aide, apropos the discussion
springing from omission of this pro-
vision in the Hatch Act.
AS was brought out recentlv bv an
opinion of Attorney General Muir
ply, non-civil service employees. un-
like those under civil service, are not
obliged to confine their political be-
lle1s to private expression, Hatch
sponsors purposely avoiding such a
restriction on the ground it was too
extreme.
The Civil Service Commission of
SO years ago, however, felt other.
wise. and Theodore Roosevelt. then
President, agreed.
First Appearance in 1902
The restriction appeared in the
iirst consolidated rules issued bv
the commission in 1903, and was
ADOPTED without much talk, accord
ing to Mr.. Doyle, who was with the
commission for the first half CEN
tury of its existence, and was its
secretary for 46 years before re-
tlrlng in 1882.
frlor 10 that year, each agency
had Its own personnel rules. which
were enforced through the commits
sion. Then it was decided to bring
them all together. and this was done
IN a draft by William Dudley Foulke
president of the commission. which
was approved by Theodore Roosevelt
AT that, the use of "priyatelvo

a1ter-thought, as it was not in
corporated in the body of the rules

Mr.. Doyle says there was some
thought by the commission that the
rule would be more acceptable with
this qualification. 1t was felt. too
that 1t would clarity the rule-and
clariflcation was badly needed IN
those days, according to the former
secretary, because of the tendency
OF employees to apply too-strict in
depreciation.
So pronounced was this tendency,
he added. that it was necessary to
assure fourth-class postmasters that
they still were permitted to vote.
