Thla Is tbe first time In the history or the civil service commission that raiding dep uties have been compelled to secure '. their appolntraenta under - the civil service rules. It la understood that tha President ; made up hla mind to change , tha . method of appointing revenue aarenta at the time of tha recent change Ina : collectors In the western dlatrlrt of North Carolina ' when Georsa H.

It was stated at tha office of the Com missioner of Internal Revenue to-day that there were already a large num ber of applicants who had filed their papers with the civil service com mis- v slon ssking to be allowed to take the $ examination.

Tho census buresu hss issued a but ' letla containing statlsttca of cltlea hav- . Ign a population of S.000 to JS.000. The Ublea give, among other things, the number of arrests . for different k causes, and comparison - haa been " made by offlclala and men Intereated - . In aoclologlcal problems between pro hibition and license Statea, for the ' purpose of studying the effects of . prohibition, snd the result Is surpris ing In many respects. The total population of the cities " between S.000 and 25.000 Inhabitants ' of Illinois Is 360,260, of Indiana ITS, MS. of Ohio S.1M. of Iowa 164, S06, of Kansas 104. 745. of 'Maine 11S, 641. Three of these Statea are lice naa States, three are prohibition States. The number of arrests for drunken ness among each 1.000 Inhabitants in "V these Statea are aa follows,- Illtnole.'-' 10.10; Indlarta 17. IS; Ohio. 21; Iowa, 27.10; Kansas. 14..1: Maine, r,- 25. Sf. For disturbance of the peace the number of arrests were: Illinois, I.5S; Indiana L7S; Ohio.S.IIMowa. . 5.10; Kansas, 7.04; Maine. O.St. For ' both causes together: Illinois, J5.SS; Indiana. 10.20; Ohio. SI.12; ' Iowa, S2.00; Kansas, 12.25; Maine, 15.71. Theae figures show that drunken ness Is much mora prevalent in Iowa and Maine, both prohibition Statea. - tnan in either Illinois. Indiana or - Ohio. And if the arrests for drunk enness snd disturbance of - tha ' peacs are taken together, which la quite proper because drunken per- , ' sons are, In police statlona, quite fre quently slated for disturbance of the ' ' peace. Kansas makes almost as bad a showing ss Illinois and a consider ably worse showing than Indiana, . ' Further comparison Is still mora in., teresting. The total number of sr rests for each 1,000 Inhabitants In the Statea named waa: In Illinois, 44. IS; Indiana, 41.14; Ohio. t.l; Iowa, 00; -Kanaaa, 41.21; Maine. SS.04. and the number of arrests for other causes but drunkenness and disturbance of the pesce was: In Illinois. 11.40 in. dlana, 22.(4; Ohio. 21. S; Iowa, 17.40; ' Kanaaa. 24.04; Maine.- 7. OS. Here again flgurea ahow that. In respect to -the total number ot arrests. Iowa takes ths lead and that Kansas is tar ahead of Illlnola and Indiana. ' Exactly tha same reault appears in considering tha number of arrests for , . all other causes but drunkenness snd disturbance of tha peace. . This, how over, is very Important, for after tha elimination of drunkenness and dis turbance of ths peace, the remainder ' ' of tha causes consists prlnclpslly in -actual crime.'1 -' Somewhat astonishing Is ths small number ot arrests for other causes ' but drunkenness and disturbance of ths peacs In Maine, but whatever the 1 causes for It may be, tha fact that ths number of arrests for drunken ness In that State la very large, larger than in either Stat, on tha list. Iowa excepted, amply proves that drink Is not as prohibitionists declare, the cauae of most crimes. If it were, the number of arrests for other causes but drunkenness and ' disturbance of tha peace In Maine would neceasarlly be conalderably larger. JEWISH VOTE IN NATIONAL POL- .
