ever, the inroads of cheap patriotism
and vote-getting zeal are reducing
this high standard of efficiency to a
meaningless gesture. By an executive
order of President Coolidge, signed
two days before he left office, 10
points are added to the examination
ratings of every disabled veteran, and
all such veterans are placed at the
head of the list, regardless of what
grades theii competitors made. Thus,
in an examination for postal clerk
at Washington, D. C, the best grade
made by a veteran ranked him 285th
on the list. Six veterans failed to
receive the passing mark of 70, yet
trolled by owners of great corpor
ations. It is a scandalous situation
and one which, as the Tribune says,
deserves serious consideration out

wealth. Other states are not im

Human history and destiny are
related to have had their origins in
a primal garden. It is pleasant,
therefore, to contemplate the pur
poses and activties of the association
which so earnestly has been laboring
for the creation and maintenance of
an international garden which ideal
ly and practically should give per
manent expression of good will and
friendship between the United States
and Canada.
The foundations for this enter
prise have been laid, public spirited
men and women in both countries
are engaged in it with enthusiastic
co-operation.
This ideal is most worthy. The
garden is to be established on the
boundary line between the two coun
tries. It will be a living memorial
to the hundred years of peace be
tween the two nations. In it will
be planted all flowers and shrubs na
tive to the United States and Can
ada. The plans propose that the gar
den be a thousand acres or more in
area, half in Canada and half in the
United States. The project will be
financed by public support. An en
dowment fund of $5,000,000 will be
required for purchase of land, plant
ing and upkeep. The garden will be
designed to become one of the great
show places of North America. It
should serve to perpetuate the tradi
tional feeling of good will between
the peoples of the two nations, de
spite controversies of politicians and
big business.
This enterprise should strongly ap
peal to Canadians and Americans
alike. A combination of the beauties
of nature In a great garden-park
should constitute a memorial to last
ing peace more charming and im
pressive than any that could be con
ceived and executed in stone or
bronze. The ideal is most inspiring.
and it is hoped that the plans may
be carried to a successful completion
to the end that the proposed garden
of peace may become a historic shrine
for pilgrims of both countries.

ORDER OF HEARING
and Notice of Probate of For
eign Will
NOTICE OF HEARING
The City of Cleveland recently took
an admirably sensible measure to ease
the unemployment situation. Instead
of voting money for charity, the city
council voted a 1200.000 bond issue
for the immediate commencement of
certain public works, and 2,000 men
will be given jobs as a result. That
is the sort of unemployment relief
that really means something, really
solving the underlying problem. What
the man needs more than a meal is
a job. No matter how much charity
you dispose, you haven't helped him
much unless you have made his
chances of getting work brighter.
That is why this Cleveland plan de
serves copying widely.
:o:
The Cleveland man who drank
eleven tumblersful of water and
then invited all comers to compete
for the water drinking championship,
must be credited with some discre
tion. He might have issued his chal
lenge during the drouth.
