Spoils System Dies Klai-cL

How hard It is to eradicate the spoils system and how slow we are in outgrowing it is shown by the complaint of congressmen that their recommendations for positions on the Panama canal work are not respected by the commission. One member, voicing the sorrows of many, says he has recommended many persons for places, but has not landed a single job. "Landing a job" is the congressional phrase for getting a political worker or ward heeler into a position he is not fit for. Think of it. Here Is a great international work of world wide importance in which the honor and prestige of the government are involved, and which requires that every person employed in it should be selected for fitness, or expert knowledge, and congressmen are asking, that Tom, Dick- or Harry, of "my district" be appointed to some good-paying position because, perhaps, he has made a poll of the voters in his township, assisted the member in canvassing his district or helped round up "the boys" on election day. What sort of record would the government make, and what sort of canal should we have, and when would it be built, if appointments to technical and responsible positions were mada oa that basis? ' . We notice, by the way, that it has been decided to appoint no more consuls hereafter unless they can speak the language of the country to which they are to be sent. This is a good rule and should have been adopted long ago, but it might well include ministers and ambassadors also. There has never been a foreign minister to Washington who could not speak English fluently; but wo have hardly ever sent one abroad who could speak the language of the country to which he was accredited, except to England.

SHORTAGE OF ENGINEERS SICKNESS ON PANHANDLE Trainmaster Porter, of the Richmond His TrouEspecially Division, is Now Having bles Freight Engineers Suffer from Grippe. Trainmaster O. V. Porter is having plenty of trouble on his hands at this time and expects no relief until the balmy days of April make their appearance, all caused by the scarcity of engineers. Many of the old freight; engineers are confined to their homes with severe colds and attacks of grippe, due to the changing weather at the present time, and the fact that they are more exposed than the pas senger engineers, who have their regular runs, and are not required to serve overtime. Coincident with the scarcity of engineers, is the demand for extra duty on the part of those who are at the present time able to "keep their legs." One engineer on the Richmond division said that in the past ten days he had earned $60 for overtime service. Owing to the fact that there is a general shortage in freight engineers during the months of February and March, none of the firemen will be promoted to positions as enginemen, as it would create a surplus just as

MRS. NELLIE MA K HAM A nervous irritable woman. oftn on the verge of hysterics, is a source of misery to everyone who comes under her influence, and unhappy and miserable herself. Such women not only drive husbands from home but axe wholly unfit to govern children. The ills of women act like a fire brand upon the nerves, consequently seven-tenths of the nervous prostration, nervous despondency, the "blues', sleeplessness, and nervous irritability of troraen arise from some organic derangement. Do you experience fits of depression with restlessness alternating with extreme irritability ? Do you suffer from pains In the abdominal region, backache, bearing-down palns,nervous dyspepsia, sleeplessness, and almost continually cross and snappy? If so, your nerves are in a shattered condition and you are threatened with nervous prostration. Proof is monumental that nothing1 in the world is better for nervous troubles of women than Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, made from native root and herbs. Thousands and thousands of women can testify to this fact. Mrs. Nellie Makhatn, of 151 Morgan St., Buffalo. N. Y., writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkbiun: "I was a wreck from nervous prostration.

Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, made from native roots and herbs, contains no narcotics or harmful drugs and today holds the record fof the largest number of actual cures of female diseases of any medicine the world has ever known, and thousands of voluntary testimonials are on file in the laboratory at Lynn, Mass., which testify to Ita wonderful value.
