Time was when appoimtments to di- plomatie posts wers looked upon as the natural way In which rewards might be bestowed upon faithful party workers, » theory to which Mr. Eryan gave ex- pression when he called them the pre- rogative of “deserving democrats.” Qual- ifications for the service were but little! regarded, for the chief essential to re-| telve un appointment was to have a rec- ord of political ussfulnees to the ap- pointing party in power. It is gratify- Ing to all patriotic Americans who be- u that our diplomatic and consular service shéuld be second to none to know that merit, rather than political expedlency, has been the guilding prin- ciple under the Harding administration. Such s the conclusion of & special com- mittes of the National Civil Service Re- form League, which has just completed @ survey of the appointments to foreign e under the present adminis- What has been done under Harding and Secretary kes makes a better record than has been shown for yvears. In a little more han a year the administration has re- talized the foreign ‘service and brought It to new planes of efficiency. Five of the nine ambassadors ap- pointed by President Harding have had previous diplomatic experience and four- cen of the thirty ministers now holding \ppointments have served in dlplomatic nes before. Throughout the first fif- n months of Prasident Harding's ad- ministration, the committes finds that here “has not been a single exception to rules requiring appointments examination In the consular Himself ome of the stanchest advo- cates of the merit system, Secretary Hughes has made merit the keystone of the present foreign service of the United States. Obviously there must be some latitude at the top, and it would not be the part of wisdom to choose invariably rvery chief of misslon from the ranks of the professional diplomats. Some special cases there must always be, where the appointment of an inexperi- tnced man is justified by virtue of spe- cial qualifications. But the rule of merit prevalls as it has perhaps never before, and the extension of the rule of merit should permit the promotion of an Increasing number of secretarles to the rank of minister and ambassador. To discourage the promotion of deserving men is hardly the way to attract able men into this branch of the public ser- vice, It is an awuspiclous beginning of an important work which - the nation will expect the administration to push to completion. . LET IT BE ENOWN. It there is to be another Buropean economic conference, of Which there is now talk and to which an lvitation will be so worded that it will amount to rudeness for the United States to refuss lo send delegates, it might be just as well that Uncle Sam should accept and send representatives empowered to de- U'ver with no uncertain voice the mes- rage that we do not propose to cancel he loans.

Nothing can make more stubborn than the suspicion that he is being worked and the same is true of a nation.

The chief function of a postags stamp s 5 prova that tha right amount of postage has been pald on mall matter ind not to present a work of art. It is with this thought in view that the post- ofice department has decided upon some radical changes In designs of several of 'he issues, When the subject of & new ®sve of postage stamps was first sug- gested, there was much publie erfticism of the plan because it was understood thiat it merely arose through the desire to meet esthetic objections and it was| looked upon as a useless expenditure of public money. Now, however, it ap- pears that the government has lost con- siderable money through the similarity of present issues, Stamps of the current design are dbs- tinguishable only by slight variations ington and Franklin portraits shall be history shall be pictured on other stamps. This would aid in avoiding con- tusfon and i5 expected to save the na- tion & considerable amount of money now lost through honest mistake of the persons sending mail matter and the oversight of clerks due to haste handling the malls. The proposal to make 2 mew issue of stamps merely on the ground of artis- tie criticism would have met With a cold reception, except poesiviy among phila- telists. But regarded as a busmess prop- osition, there can be mo complaint of a new series, TRISH CABLES SEIZED. To other rash acts tending to de- stroy sympathy for De Valera and the Irish republicans they have now added the selzure of the landing stations of the North Atlantic cables on the south- western coast of Ireland. Of the twelve cables to Great Britain, only three were left in working order, these running di- rect to Penzance, England. The intent in the selzure of the ca- bles is obviously to embarrass the Irish Free State, apparently in the belief that the British government will be brought to intervene forcibly to restore the ca- ble service. Such an Intervention, the insurgents may think, will be a rebuke and humiliation to the Irish Free Statc What conccivable value to the cause of the Irish republicans there ¢ould be in cable cutting it {s hard to imagine. It could not be justified on the grounds of military expediéney and how could in- jury be dome to the insurgent cause by the stream of business, news and pet- scnal messages that flows across the Atlantic? Sympathy in the New World for the TIrish Insurgents has been brought almest to the vanishing point by one foolish act after another and it will vanish entirely under such senss- less and useless outrages. Public opin- fon will be with the Free State or the British government in whatever steps it will be necessary to take to keep the cables open and to punish those respo sible for interfering with their opera- tion. I W. W. METHODS. Dr. Harry Hibschman hes contributed an article to Current History dealing with the aims of the Industrial Workers of the World and the arguments they use in an effort to obtain new members. It is a mistake to assume, he says, that the I. W. W. movement in this country is 2 myth or moonshine because his in- vestigations lead him to believe that the menace is growing, that the doetrine of boring from within is having its effect and that the red radicals inerease as public opinion becomes more indifferent to the threat of revolution. The 1. W. W. preamble, adopted when the organization was formed in Chicago in 1905, spoke plainly. Tt provides for a complete ovérthrow of the wage sys- tem, appealing chiefly to unskilled workers to seize all industry and force the former owners to work for those who never have earned anything or dem- onstrated the right to own anything Sabotage—the destruction of property— is a favorite method. Elizabeth Gurley Fiynn said of it: “I am not going to at- tempt to justify sabotags on any moral ground. 1If the workers consider that sabotage is necessary, that in itself makes sabotage moral. Its necessity is: an excuse for its existence.” St. John says that the workers mean to use any means that will get the results they de- sire. “The question of right and wrong does not concern us,” he adds. Membership in the I. W. W. prohibits the member from being loyal to his country. ‘“We realize that as workers we have no country,” says one pro- nouncemeént. One of the I. “W. W. pa- pers spoke of the attempt to kill the American ambassador in Paris last fall 2s “a subllme triumph of Intermational solidarity,” because killing the Ameri- can ambassador was rqgarded as a way to protest against keeping two for- eigners in jail in this country en charges of murder.

George found it out first when he went to that disrep- utable rack of pipes he keéps in his den and found that Aunt Fanny had been busy cleaning them with some kind of smelly soap and hot water. You can imagine what he wanted to say. “Mr. Simmons had a rack of pipes once,” Mrs. Simmons chuckled, “and I ‘was sworn never to touch them, éven if spiderwebs a foot thick covered them.

The story is thus set downr in Haw- thorne's note-book: “H. L. heard from the French Canadians the pa- thetic story of a younz couple in Acadia. On their wedding day all men in the province were summoned to as- semble in the church to hear a proc- lamation. When assembled they iwere all seized and shipped off to be dis- tributed through New England, and among them was the new bridegroom. His bride set off in search of him, wandering about New England for a long time, and at last when she was old reached Philadelphia, where she found him on his death bed in an alms house. The shock was so great that it killed her likewise. Longfellow himself says: “It was singular how I happened to find the climax to my story in Philadelphia. 1 was passing down Spruce street one day towards my hotel after a walk. when my attention was attracted to a large building with beautiful trees about it, instead of a high enclosure. 1 walked along until I came to a great gate, and 1 then stepped inside and looked carefully over the place. “The charming picture of lawn, flower beds and shade which it pre- Sented, made hn impression which has never left me, and twenty-four years after, when I came 'to write ‘Bvangeline,’ T located the final scene —the meeting between Evangeline and Gabriel and his death at this hosp tal, and the burial in the old Catholiz graveyard nearby, which I found my chance in another of my walks in Philadelphia. The interesting material Hawthorne gave me, and my visit to the hospital in Philadelphia I appro- priated for the groundwork of the not walt for anything. —_ Many motorfsts are belag somewhat sobered by the discovery that man- slgughter has complications.

The Acadians refused to take the oath unless it excused them from tak- ing up arms against France, whose people were their own flesh and blood. The démand was frequently made and as often refused until at last the En- glish determined to free the country of French settlers and decided to scat- ter them through the North Ameri- can colonies. They did so, 450 reaching Philadel- phia. Was Gabriel among them ? 't was difficult to know what to do With them and they were finally land- ed on Province Island. Anthony Ben- ezet, a French settler in Philadelphia, appealed to the assembly in their behalf and it responed charitably, a process which needed to be repeated for many years. Just how many facts are connected with Longfellow’s poem “Evangeline” will never be known. Does the Tea You Use Come in this Package?
