Spoilsmen Victorious Champions of the disgraceful spoils system have just won an important victory at the expense of the United States diplomatic corps. It has been authentically announced that President Wilson has yielded to the arguments of his political advisors, headed by Secretary of State Bryan, and has decided to fill all the fortyfive ambassadorial and ministerial posts with tried and true Democrats. Efficiency will not be considered in the making of these appointments. The new diplomats will be selected on their recprds for party service and the size of their purses. The majority of the men who are to be supplanted are trained diplomats with years of experience, many of them having started in as secretaries of legations and embassies and being gradually promoted to the ranks of minister and ambassador. They have carefully prepared themselves for their work and have arranged their affairs for foreign service, but all of this has made no impression on President Wilson and Secretary Bryan. They have influential political supporters who must be rewarded at the pie counter, so a well trained and efficient branch of the federal government is to be riddled for their benefit. The merit system is still to be employed in the appointment of secretaries of legations and embassies, but it will be necessarily more or less of a farce for these $2,000 and $3,000 a year offices in the diplomatic corps, minus the opportunity for promotion, will not tempt the most desirable class of young men into the service to make it their life work. Among those slated for removal is the veteran Rockhill, ambassador to Turkey. Originally he was a Democrat and was appointed to the service as such. Since then Republican presidents have come and gone, but Rockhill's services in China, the state department, Russia, Turkey and elsewhere have always been considered until now, under another Democratic administration, too valuable to be dispensed with. The only plausible explanation for Rockhill's removal is that he has been too busy looking after the interests of his country in foreign lands, drawing the miserly pay of an American diplomatist, to dabble in partisan politics. So his important post will now be filled by some 'statesman who has been a liberal contributor to the Democratic campaign fund and who has not neglected to give some of his time to political organization in his city, county, district or state.

church have fallen off partly, again, because of the unremitting care of live stock. Social distinctions have grown up between rich and poor and between the country folk and the townspeople. Dancing is the most popular recreation of the boys and girls. Baseball is the most popular strictly boys' amusement. The girls are leaving the farms in larger numbers than the boys, though among the grown people the men are more anxious to move to town. Social causes account for the removal in most instances.

HOPE OF THE WAGE EARNER

Farm Social Life Declining C. P. Warber of the University of Minnesota, spent three months last year in a typical Minnesota farming community, six miles square. He studied social, working and living conditions closely and his observations form the contents of a most interesting pamphlet. Under the new system of diversified farming Warber finds farm work now occupies all the farmer's time the year round. In consequence social life has declined, despite the party line telephones and the automobiles. All the farmers in the community in which Warber lived constantly complained of their inability to secure "satisfactory help." Despite the introduction of modern conveniences on the farms, the farm woman's work can still be classified as drudgery, for practically all the women in the community in which Warber lived, worked from 5 o'clock in the morning until 9 at night, or later. Some other observations made by Warber aro summarized as follows: The marketing of farm products is much more convenient and efficient than it was in earlier days because the railroads, grain elevators and creameries have brought the markets nearer. Co-operative enterprises have generally succeeded, but oddly enough many of the farmers even those who belong to the successful associations doubt the capacity of their own class to cooperate. The rural free delivery service has finished the work of the railroads and the towns in putting the crossroads stores out of business. Most of the trading is done in the towns, and the country girls dress in the styles of the cities. Not one farmer in the township has ever heard of the new agitation for better agricultural credit. Interest in politics has greatly declined. Although farm journals are kept in 84 per cent of the homes, only 47 per cent of the farmers read them. The farmers read little of their newspapers except the headlines, and rarely ever the editorials. Only 14 per cent of the farmers ever attended farmers institutes, and a majority are prejudiced against scientific methods of farming. Only two schools are well enough equipped to get first class state aid. Teachers' salaries vary from $30 to $50 a month. The farmers generally believe that the high schools in the nearby towns tend to lower the moral standards of the children. Membership in and attendance at

TV. Jett Lauck in the North American Review. It is plain that several fundamental reforms must be had before the American wage earner can be assured freedom of opportunity and the chance to work out the full measure of economic welfare which is his rightful heritage. Special privileges and monopoly rights arising from a protective tariff policy which have made possible a control of prices by a large group of manufacturers should be withdrawn by proper legislation. Corporations should also be prohibited from issuing worthless securities which

cause an absorption of earnings through indefensible capital charges. A large share of the industrial output which now goes into illegitimate dividend and interest payments, should be given to labor through higher rates of compensation or lower prices of articles of general consumption. To establish firmly an American standard of work and living, to guarantee a proper distribution of the benefits of our marvelous natural resources and our wonderful industrial progress, and, at the same time, to maintain the spirit of enterprise and the stimulation to industrial progress and efficiency, it is also absolutely necessary to impose some limitations upon the numbers of immigrants who are rapidly entering the country. Unless there is a restriction of Immigration, the situation for the American industrial worker is without hope. A policy of permanent or absolute exclusion is not imperative. All that is essential is to limit temporarily the number of incoming aliens so that the foreign workmen already in our midst may be industrially assimilated and educated to the point where they will demand proper standards of living and will be constrained by the economic aspirations of the native American. The real indication of material prosperity is to be found in the extent to which the wage earners in mines and factories share in the industrial output which is partly attributable to their labors, and unless there is a limitation placed upon the Inexhaustible supply of cheap foreign labor of low Btandards and aspirations which is now coming to this country, it is perfectly clear that the American wage earner cannot hope to participate properly in the results of our Industrial progress.

SELF-DEPENDENCE

TVeary of myself and sick of asking What I am, and what I ought to be, On this vessel's prow I stand, which bears me Forward, forward, o'er the star-lit sea. And a look of passionate desire O'er the sea and to the stars I send, "Yea who from my childhood up have calmed me, Calm me, ah! compose me to the end. "Yet once more," I cried, "ye stars, ye waters, On my heart your mighty charm renew! Still me as I gaze upon you, Feel my soul becoming vast like you!" From the intense, clear, star-sown vault of heaven. Over the lit sea's unquiet way, Through the rustling night air came the answer, "Would ye be as these are? Live as they!" Unaffrighted by the silence round them, Undistracted by the sights they see. These demand not that the things about them Yield them love, amusement, sympathy. And with joy the stars perform their shining, And the sea Its long, moon-silvered roll, For self-poised they live, nor pine with noting All the fever of some differing soul. O air-born voice ! Long since severely clear, A cry like thine in mine own heart I hear: "Resolve to be thyself, and know that he Who finds himself, loses his misery!" Matthew Arnold.

Herbert Johns, Mist Alice Crisped and place where her body was found.

WILKESBARRE, Pa., July 12. All of the residents of Wilkesbarre and the surrounding country are watching closely the developments in the work of unravelling the mystery surrounding the tragic death of Miss Alice Crispell, the beautiful 18 year old girl whose body was found in Harvey's Lake, a popular spot for summer excursionists from Wilkesbarre. Herbert Johns, the girl's sweetheart, has been held as a material witness, and many believe that he will soon be formally charged with the murder of the girl. Johns was

the last person seen with Miss Crispell before her death. He has said that he did not accompany the girl all the way home on the night of her death, July 4. He explains that he was suddenly taken ill, and allowed his companion to walk alone to her home through three miles of woods. A. I. Reese, an automobile dealer, has asserted that he saw a man closely resembling Johns, dragging a girl answering the description of Miss Crispell on Friday night. Reese says they were on Lover's Lane, a road that runs near the shore of Harvey's Lake.

HOUSE Not in session; met at noon today.

Paid In Full. The quality which makes "Paid in Full" of value is its absolute fidelity to the little things in life. The characters are severally interesting. They are familiar types grouped around a familiar topic. The story is a simple one, two young people are married and keeping house. The curtain rises on a comfortable Harlem flat. The woman is heard In the kitchen singing over the dishes and the man is seen in the dining room tidying up. The man's salary is small, his preferment slow. To spare himself the tedium of house work, the mortification of poverty, the nagging of his wife's family, the patronage of her former suitor he steals from his employer sums amounting to $16,000 they live in luxury. The thief is discovered. He persuades his wife to go to his employer and intercede, use every means in her power to square him. She goes, the employer tempts her, threatens her, but she would rather die then sell, and he, glad to have his opinion of her upheld, for he has always admired her, cancels the debt and discharges the husband, warning her against him and
