WASHINGTON, Oct. 13.—President Roosevelt to-day issued the following ex- ecutive order: On request of the Civil Service Comm! the “Attorney General has sabmmited to. me. the tollowing opinivn: ‘"Your note of the 15th inst. requests me to advise relative to the subject of political con- tributions as shown by the respective corre- spondence which you inclose between the Civil Service Commission and officers of the Republi- can State committees of Pennsylvania and Ohlo. 1In the Pennsylvania case it appears that recently a circular letter was issued by tha Republican State Committes signed M. S. Quay, chairman, stating that financial assist- ance 'is needed in the coming Congressional and State election and that the committee will be greatly obliged if the addressee will aid to the extent of Lis ability and inclination. This circular, letter bore in its caption as well the name of Senator Quay as chairman and of W. R. Andrews (clerk to the Senate Committee on Immigration) as_secretary, and was sent by mail’ to various Federal officers and their em- ployes at their home ad CIRCULAR’S ILLEGALITY. ‘‘Upon advice from the commission that be- cause of thelr official relations neither Senator Quay nor Mr. Andrews could properly serve upon a committee concerned in soliciting and receiving political contributions from Federal officers or permit their names to be held forth in letters making such a solicitation, the cir- cular letter, so far as addressed to Federal ficials, was withdrawn. Immediately thereaf- ter another circular letter was lssued in identi- cally the same form, except that it bore the signature of the (reasurer of the committee, who is not a Federal officer. The commission pointed out the illegality of this circular, be- cause it can.cd on its heading the names of Senator Quay and Mr. Andrew, and directed its recall and this ruling {s now contested by Mr. Andrews. “In_the Ohlo case a circular was issued by the Republican State Executive Committee bearing the names of Charles Dick (member of Congress) and of various Federal officials and stating that any assistance ,which dressee can give as one of thbse directly 1 terested in party success In Ohio will be grate- fully acknowledged. ‘It seems that the circular was sent to cer- tain Federal officials, that the commission de- manded its withdrawal and that the executive committee declines or neglects to accede to this demand. The question presented is covered by section 11 of the civil service act, which pro- vides: *' ‘That no Senator or Representative or Ter- Titorial delegate of the Congress, or Senator, Representative or delegate-elect, or any offi- cer or employe of either of sald houses, and no | executive, judicial, military or naval officer of the United States, and no clerk or em- ploye of any department, branch or bureau of the executive, judicial, military or naval serv- ice of the United States shal Idirectly or in- directly soliclt or receive, or be in any man- ner concerned in soliciting cr recelving any assessment, subscription or contribution for | . any political purpose whatever, from any offi- cer, clerk or employe of the United States, or any department, branch or bureau thereof, or X N R Vinton, Iowa, .July 15, 190 Gentlemen: My trouble began with pain in my stomach and back, so severe that it seemed as if knives were cutting me. I was treated by two of the best physicians in the county, and consulted another. None of them suspected that the cause of my trouble was kidney disease. They all told me that I had can- cer of the stomach, and would dle. I grew so weak that I could not walk any more than a child a menth old, and I only weighed ninety pounds.

My family could see a change in me for the better, so th obtained more and I com- tinued the use of Swamp-Root regularly.

It is said that so narrow is the line of division between the parties in the Rigs- dag that the approval of the treaty prac- tically depends upon the state of health of one or two members, and it is inti- mated that if the measure is to succeed at this session the Government must press it to a vote before one of the con- valescents is able to return to his legis- lative duties and cast an adverse vote. Nevertheless, even should the move- ment,toward cession fail at this meeting of the Rigsdag it is not doubted that in the very near future the islands must be- come the property of the United States. It cannot be too clearly stated, however, that the United States Government has not the siightest idea of using compul- | sery action to this end, being well satis- fied that the people of Denmark will cventually be moved by purely econom- ical considerations to dispose of the isl- ands. > It is. well known here, just as was stated in the Rigsdag, that at the present the islands are not self-supporting, and the Danish Government if it decides to retain possession is confronted with the recessity of paying money out of the na- tional treasury to help the islanders to sustain their local government. It is realized that in the event of cession to the United States this state of affairs, as to deficiency in revenue, would prob- ably continue for some time, necessi- tating the extension of some measures of support by the United States Government until such' time as the islands develop to the point of paying their way. Much is expected of free trade between the islands and the United States in the development of the insular industries, but, oa the other hand, the very increase of trade with the United States would under free trade deprive the island treasuty of the revenues now .collected on imports from the United States, and compensa- tion must be sought from some other source.
