Friday, Oct. 24, 1919 Editor State Miner’s Sugges tion to Civil Service. The examination of the three applicants for the Wickenburg postoffice was concluded by the civil service commission over a month ago and it is assumed that they all failed to qualify or were all so nearly equal that the de partment is puzzled which is the most proficient. Recently the editor of the State Miner, who was one of the applicants, sug gested to the Commission that in so important a service of the U. S., requiring thousands of post masters, it was advisable for the state and national universities to accept students for training to prepare them for that service, which is just as essential as the U. S. Army or Navy. Following is the reply received from the Secretary of the Civil Service League as to the sugges tion made by our editor: New York, Nov. 11, 1919. My Dear Mr. Watson: The matter of training for the public service is a very important one and it is more and more becom ing necessary for the universities to provide courses of instruction that will fit their graduates for careers in public and private ser vices. Once we get the postoffice de partment on a permanent career basis, probably the faculties will be forced to consider your sug gestion. Already some of the colleges are giving courses in in ternational law, foreign trade, etc. as a means of equipping can didates for the foreign service. Very truly yours, George T. Keyes, Secretary. The attorney general has de cided that the governor of Ari zona may use a rubber stamp for signing documents accompanied by his initials, or “his mark,” as is the custom for disabled or il literate persons; he has a perfect right so to do, but the banks who cash state warrants, should be kept posted on the genuineness of the stamp and his mark. The attorney general also has author ized Adj. General to break and enter the state storehouse which is the property of the U. S., and remove therefrom any property desired by the war department, in spite of the governor, justice of the peace, or county attorney. Democracy vs. the Interests. , Why are republicans so very deeply interested in the soldier? They need his vote next year; they may need his support and lighting qualities during strikes and lockouts framed as excuse j for a change of administration: a ; war with poor measly Mexico, or ! a yellow peril. The republicans, j backed by profiteering packers | and organized steel, transporta tion and financial trusts, may even need the soldiers to emulate an Arizona governor by march ing upon the Capitol and seizing the reins of government. But the modern soldier has learned the difference between fighting for world democracy and vested interests and autocracy. Conciliation Rebuffed. Caustic criticism is not highly in favor with average publishers, but with such vitriolic men as the steel magnate Gary, who believes in no compromise, arbitration or peaceful settlement of labor dis putes- nothing but armed resist ance and military shooting down of strikers, whether they be wo men, or men, he justifies. East papers teem with firightful criti cism directed against the man of iron, w r ho holds personal and cor porate interests above that of government and the people. It is a hard rebuff against Presi dent Wilson’s conciliatory advice that Gary has al’ligned with un limited capital to resist him. We are surely germinating radicals and autocracy among the common people with such fiery corpora tionists as Gary at the head of an industrial conference. Used to Be the Caper, But It Don’t Go Now. An exchange says: The night mare of free publicity is driving nails in the coffins of ten thous and country editors a year, to which is a fervent response of “Amen.” Apropos of this we long ago gave notice that this paper does a strictly “you tickle me and I’ll tickle you business.” No “releases,” or free lists. The war is over and the Belgian king with an embassy of 80 persons is galivanting around America at an expense of SBOO a day that shonld be feeding his charity pleading subjects. I!
