The Wilson order would have been || above criticism had it come a few months after Mr. Wilson became president instead of after his party had had three years in which to fill all the postmasterships with demo- crats. That gave it the appearance of a poorly disguised effort to perpetuate the democrats in office in succeeding administrations. ‘When the republicans came into power in March, 1921, the political leaders at once pointed out to Presi- dent Harding that the Wilson order must be repeuled in order to clear the way for republicans to oust the demo- cratic postmasters. President Hard- ing responded within 30 days by fis- suing an order superseding the Wil- son order that satisfied even the most |t exacting politicians. t] Several minor incidents have oc-|i curred recently to indicate that Presi- dent Harding and his advisers have— now that republicans are holding al- most all the post offices—discovered that the rules governing appointment are too lax, and are leaning towards a system that will keep ‘“‘competent” postmasters in indefinitely. The order of President Wilson, is- sued March 31, 1917, provided for the appointment as postmaster by the postmaster general of the person § |standing first on the civil service com- | i Several inducements are offered. A large, beautifully situated mission’s eligible list. It provided only for the examination system in cases where vacancigs occurred on|] account of death, resignation or re- moval of the incumbent. The Harding executive order, super- ceding the Wilson order, makes the examination system apply to vacan- |g cies occurring from any cause what- | soever, including the cause of expira- tion of the four year term of office, and provides that the postmaster gen-|g eral can appoint any one of the three highest eligibles certified by the civil n service commission. This latter order opened the way for dismissal of every democratic postmaster when his four year term | o expired—as it .must during the four | ¢ years of Harding rule—and gave the republicans, . thgough the fchoice of one from.among the three first elig- ibles, three chances to get a member | by of their.party in the job. |Holy Cross Is Outhit But Wins From Marines Norfolk, Va., April 4—Harder hit- §ing and superior fielding gave Penn State a 5 to 3 victory over Willlam and Mary here yesterday afternoon in a well played game. m HARVARD ICKED t Coach Slattery Announces Makeup of Team For Opening Game. | Cambridge, Mass,, April 4.—Coach Jack Slattery of the Harvard baseball {squad announced the Crimson lineup | gl |for the opening game after the first outdoor practice yesterday afternoon. | e; The team will take the fleld in the game with Boston University here|q | Saturday as follows: Larrabee, catch- {er; Owen, first base; Hammond, sec- ond base; Jenkins, Shortstop; Buell, third base: Burgess or Thayer, left- field; Clark, centerfleld, and Gordon, Rogers or Doherty, rightneld.
