The Enemiei of Civil Scrr ioe.
The classified civil service- is nn established
tact In our country that came as the logic of
experience. It was set up as a bulwark of
morlt nnd efficiency and a shield against the
spoils system with its train of pernicious ovlls
In politics. It Is too Into to ask how the Amer
ican people regard it; they have given their ver
dict emphatically and repeatedly. The only
reason why civil service has not produced larger
efficiency Is becauso It has not been given larger
opportunity. Raised to Its highest power, ad
ministered fearlessly nnd honestly, it will exert,
even as compared with tho good already accom
plished, a transforming Influence In public
office.
Tho present democratic administration
scorns to court trouble in its assault upon this
entrenchod principle of government. In brazen
effontry It has tho folly to imagine that It can
destroy or cripple tho merit system without
bringing down tho wrath At the people. The
clause, "to bo selected by the State department
without reference to civil service examinations,"
Inserted In a mensuro appropriating $100,000
for commercial attaches to study trade condi
tions abroad, is a daring, though foolhardy,
blow in this direction. Let the democrats pro
ceed far enough In tholr work of spoliation and
thoy will soon find themselves "hoist by their
own petard," with a very short time for devour
ing their littlo pie.
Back in Good Grace.
Among the most luscious fruit of the season
is the beautiful oulogy pronounced by our local
democratic organ on Frank A. Vanderllp, head
of the National City bank of New York City
and former assistant secretary of the treasury
under a republican administration. Tho occa
sion for theso compliments is a circular letter on
tho stato of tho country's finances, In which
Mr. Vanderllp trumps tho card played by Presi
dent Wilson to tho effect that tho prevailing de
pression In business Is "psychological," his par
ticular expression bolng that the backward or
stationary tendencies "havo their roots in a stato
of mind rather than In tho statistics of actual
buslncBH data." The democratic oracle finds all
the greater reason to laud Mr. Vanderllp be
cause, as it says, ho does not speak as an admirer
or political supporter of President Wilson; that
he Is In no senso a Wilson partisan, but, on tho
contrary, "is the head of the Standard Oil bank
that a few weeks ago was denounced as the
lender of a conspiracy to discredit the adminis
tration." But perhaps a person able to see tho hole In
a mlllstono might find a measuro of explanation
In these very disclosures, for as head of a big
bank doing business with the government, nnd
naturally desiring tho favor, or at least not to
be discriminated against In tho administration
of tho now resorvo bank, Mr. Vanderllp cer
tainly would not wish to rost under tho cloud In
which ho was envolopod as a conspirator
against the president If he could avoid It. Mr.
Vanderllp is enough of a diplomat to know that
it is up to him to square himself and his bank
so. far as he can with the powers that be, and
if Inserting a generous boost in his little finan
cial circular will servo to put him back in good
grace, ho woufd bo ibollsh not to do It.
Lot us all agreo that "a state of mind" has
much 16 do with halting business: the Question
remains, why this stato df mind Unirera unriflr a.
democratic national administration.
jBase Ball in China.
Much lias "boeri made of tho BUnerlnr skill nf
Japnnosb nthlqtoe". They havo vied with Amer
icana and others Jn wrestling, running, tuinbllng
ana wun us particularly In base ball. They are
supple, agllo and can enduro tremendous physical
strains, ana tholr versatility Is a matter of Ben-
oral cpmmont On the other hand the moro
phlegmatic Chlnoso has boen roirnrrioH with
some disparagement In athletic ontorprlsos. In
the first place, it has been somewhat tho view
that tho Chinaman was too non-progresslvo for
reaching, out skillfully into theaa now im. nt
achievement. That criticism loses force, how.
over, In view of China's recent political revolu,
tlon. It may hardly be said 'to lack a unlrit nf
progresslvonosa when the oldest of monarchies
reacnod out to embraco tho newest form nf
government. ,True, Its perfection of republican
ism is, fraught with some difficulties, but that
in only natural. It is making surprising nroc-
rcss.
Here, however, is nroof nosltivn of rhinn'-
powor to assimilate the most Innately American
.institution, of all. baso ball. Soma flvn ninntho
ago a team of young Chlneso camo over to the
united States. U has met the leadlnar eollt
and many semi-professional nines in this country
and beat most of them. It playa the came In
tho purest American fashion, oven using the
very choicest base ball diction on thn conchlni?
lines At least ono "of Its mombors has dodo
well onough to attract the attention of profes
sionals and receive flatterlnc offer from a
club In the American association, which offer
no has declined. Theso young Chinese nicked
up tho game" themselves without tho ai,t of a
coach. Set a .pin right there, and let it ha said
that -for original thinking, persistence In effort,
tenacity and gumption It Is doubtful if th
Chjnainan has aipeer; certainly he hasn't it in
nis, mtio orqwn neighbor, the Japanese. He may
not make as much fuss over what he dn v
not get as much publicity out of it, but ho gen
erally gets results that count
And in the meantime, hero is another in
stance of ot)r great national game of base ball
affording the medlufej of a new and closer inti
macy between Americans and peoples of distant
lands. Hereafter when we speak of American
izing or democratlxing strange races, let us not
lose sight of this element of assimilation.
Not from any Invidious motive, but JuBt out
of curiosity, we would like to know how Okla
homa s whoat crop comes to be scored "100" in
the government report, when the general im
preaslon Is that "there 'ain't no such thing" as

SOUTH OMAHA. June 15. -To the Edi
tor of The Bee It seems to me that one n.'
our most pressing needs at thla time Is a
a law that will compel every legal voter to
cast a vote at every election. A penalty
heavy enough rhould be provided for fail
ure to vote, so that It will 'be an object
for every legal voter to cast a vote. Many
times men are elected to office who wou!d
not stand the ghost of ,a show If every
one of the so called "good cltlicns" would
turne out to vote. What we need moro
than anything else, In my humble esti
mation Is that all now entitled to vote
shall be compelled to cast their ballots.
Wo need It more than we do a larger
number of voters.
Without discussing whether women
should vote or should not be given th
franchise, 1 will discuss other features of
the question at this time.
It Is my opinion that the wishes of the
women themselves should be ascertained
and If It Is definitely ascertained that
even GO per cent of the women want the
elective franchise, then will be time
enough to settle the question of allow
ing them unlimited sufrage.
There has not been any Instance shown
yet where even 25 per cent of tho women
of this country ask the right of suffrage.
Some leading women antl-suffraglsts
claim that not even 10 per Cent of the
women aak for the suffrage.
Wherever women have the right to vote
an exceedingly small proportion of them
exercise that right and the number aeems
to decrease rather than Increase. I have
In mind a city where about S.000 women
are entitled to vote. The first time about
2,000 of them voted; at the second elec
tion but twenty women voted. And that
seems to be the rule In every state where
they exercise the right of suffrage. After
most strenuous efforts of the suffragists
In Chicago this year In hauling women to
the polling places and cajoling them and
almost forcing them to go to the polling
places, less than 20 per cent of the Chi
cago women oxercised tho suffrage and
the votes were most of them largely cast
In the questionable districts of Chicago.
The chairman, or rather chairwoman, of
the general suffrage committee expressed
great disappointment at the poor show
ing of tho womon, but said they will try
It again. In my opinion she will be still
more disappointed the next tlme for the
vote will be much less If the general
history of suffrage Is any criterion.
We are told that Ideal conditions will
prevail It suffrage Is given to all thu
women of the country. If suffrage Is
given them I hope such will be the case.
Btit things have not been materially
changed In any state where women vote.
We havo been told for years that condi
tions In Colorado were highly ideal and
that state was cited as a model for tho
whole country. But when the deplor
able conditions In the coal mines camo
upon the country and when scores of
lives were lost In the battles fought In
that region, the suffragists claimed that
such conditions came about on account
of the great majority of the men over
women In Colorado. I do not believe
the suffrage question had a thing to do
with It and it would have happened Just
the same If there were a million more
women than men In Colorado. '
I have been told by men who have been
In Colorado, when oloctlons are held that
the leading suffragists of high personal
standing Co not hesitate to go right Into
the questionable districts of Denver and
haul tho residents to the polling places.
In recent elections-In Illinois a number of
tfce larger cities and towns voted dry
without the woman vote, notably QaUc-
burg. In my view,, when the majority
of the peoplo favor a, reform It will be
brought about whether women vote or
not for public opinion will prevail.
1 am not one who believes the country
will go to ruin If we have full suffrage,
tor tne women of this great nation havo
been Its bulwark of defense nnd strength
In times of war and In times of peace and
they are Just as much Interested In the
welfare of the land as the men. It
seems to me that It is more a question
wnemer women want to vote than
whether they ahould have that right.
With your permission. I will discuss this
question further in another letter.

Projected Gambling Resort in
Panama Boosted in Prance.
Ill Profits l'romtaed.
A lengthy prospectus) Is being circulated in the
French capital Inviting participation In underwriting
the National Caalno of Panama, the polite name for a
gambling resort which will rival the famous Monte
Carlo, Thn I'a$ correspondent of the New York
Sun says. The prospectus Is printed In French, Issued
by James Francis Browne & Co., as directors of the
syndicate, and begins by saying that It has been ad
dressed to the recipient "at the request of a stock
holder In the Cannes Municipal Casino, Limited."
"The Panama National Cns'.no company Is on the
point of being registered," It says, "with a capital of
t2.000.0CO, divided Into J5 shares, with, In addition,
10,009 bonds as flrt mortgage of 1100 each, at S per
cent The bondaVmay be converted Into ordinary
shares at any time within five years', and will be paid
off after ten years, If they have'jiot been redeemed.
A sinking fiind of Jl!5,000 a year will be formed to
redeem the bonds, at $123."
In addition to a casino, which Is to have no rival,
not excepting even Monte Carlo, the coinpany will
Mlilld and carry on a'lrst-ejass hotel, with an orchid
garden which Is to "be one. of the wonders of the
world. As orchids grow wild throughout Panama,
a garden containing all varieties will form a most in
teresting feature.
Defends the. Climate. x
j. The prospectus re at su res those who- Imagine that
any charge can bo laid against the climate of Pan
ama. Jts temperature, according to the prospectus,
keeps strictly within the limits of V) and 70 degrees,
and high winds are unknown. The United States has
made Panama one of the most sanitary and clean
towns In the world, with a lower death rate than
London. It Is an incomparable winter resort, and
has a splendid autumn, though there are manys days
of rain.
A bathing pavilion Is to be built facing a superb
shore, and all Monte Carlo's attractions are to be re
produced, pigeon shooting, squash courts, tennis and
golf.
"The property to be acquired comprises about 250
acres and has been entirely acquired," the circular
says somewhat confusedly. "Its general appearance
resembles Monte Carlo and Monaco, as It Is divided
by the Panama gulf and Is Ideal for the purpose in
view.
"As the affairs of tho Casino are to be conducted
on tt highest lines, an exceptional board of directors
has been appointed as follows:
"'Lord Shrewsbury and Talbot as president: John
II. Cartland, president of the Cannes Municipal
Casino; Captain E. Miller, D. S. O., director of the
Cannes Municipal Casino: M. Jacques Regll, director
of the Orand hotel, Paris; M. Coucaret, vice president
of the Enghlen Casino; M. Bertrand, director of the
Cabourg Casino.
"M. Bluysen, architect to the French government,
who has designed some of the chief casinos of Europe,
is to design the Casino, which Is to be one of the most
splendid of Its kind."
ISatlmnte of Profits.
In estimating the profits that may be axpected.
the prospectus points out that In roulette, as played
In Panama, there' Is both a simple and a double xero,
and that when either comes up the bank takes all
stakes, so that "the percentage against the player is
two and half times greater than that at Monte Carlo."
Chileans, Peruvians and other Inhabitants of the
western coast and southern America who cross the
Isthmus to go to Europe, we are then toidj are great
gamblers. Travelers for Australia, China and Japan
will have a twenty-four wait as their boats pass
through the canat. "Panama Is one of the most fre
quented spots In the world for yachtsmen."
All these considerations encourage the prospectors
to place dividends at 40 per cent, as a minimum. Then
follows th'.s:
"As the Casino will operate under a charter assur
ing absolute freedom from all Intervention for twenty
flvo years, and as It will enjoy a strategic position
without equal, it Is believed that It wilt remain unique
of Its kind.
"Stock nuotations will be obtained for the Paris
Bourse," (yjbtalned" 'not "asked," It may be noted),
and a special settlement will be applied for on the
London Stock exchange, thus giving an International
market for the stock and a wide advertisement.
Attention Is called to the present price of Monte
Carlo's 1100 shares, over 11.19). and the Panama Casino
Is expected to do as well If not better. Underwriters
may obtain bonds at 90. thereby, "being allowed a
privilege, rather (than asked a favor." As "almost all'
the subscription ha been taken up," prompt applica
tion Is advised.
JOLLIES FROM JUDGE.

"They cannot throw a stone." But
