O P. f Firing Democrat From v Eaisting Office and Creating New One . for Republican.' v : , (By David, F. St. Clair.) Washington, April; 11. One of most irretrievable' blunders the any . - party in power can commit is to oi . fend that powerful section of the - . ..electorate known as the independent -voters. -No man has been -elected . president of the' United States for the last 40 years without the inde Sendent vote. - Even Harding' with is 7,000,000 majority received ever 4,000,000 of independent votes, votes of -persons who do not wear the badge of either party. The peculiar pride and glory of the independent voters is the fact that they have compelled the govern ment to establish and maintain for the- last 40 veara a merit system to determine the fitness and efficiency of its civil servants. The partisans of neither party are devoted to this merit system, nor .will they ever be, but they will never dare Lay a hos tile hand on it'except through eva sion,' subterfuge and' hyprocrisy. That is why the plajtform of both the two great political parties ' always contain planks professing to uphold the civil service. A party platform without such a plank would be as incomplete as a prayer in a Christian church without the name of Christ, Notwithstanding this fact the Harding administration has scrapped the civil service so far as it applies to the postoffice department - and now threatens to destroy it in other departments of the government. Tne work of destruction! is launched in the White House in these latter de ' partments in behalf of the exalted claim of efficiency .in government but the President's spokesman in the senate are unadulterated spoilsmen. The President's . pre-presidential record shows that he was' a spoils man of spoilsmen. In the senate the administration works with an iron hand to wreck the civil service; in the White House the work is done with a gloved band. in $h bureau .of, Vengraving ' Sand printing without warning. It ' is done to get rid of the democrats and no one disputes the word of the sen ators. A storm is brewing. The ad ministration sends over to the bureau of engraving and printing to see if . it can rake up something against the men and women it has fired. If it cannot and the storm continues to wax, the. Moseses and News will for the time being be made goats 01. in the meantime the President announ ces with an aspect of profound sin cerity that he must not be hampered in his efforts by the civil service to bring into the departments the great ideal of efficiency he has in mind. This leviathan in the White House is bound by this lilliputian of the civil service and he strains at his cords. Behold what the dwarf is doing to the giant. .- Republicans Creating New, Office The republicans are not only firing democrats from the offices that are but are busy creating new . offices for their insatiable hunger and. thirst. In the senate there is pend ing a bill to create 18 new federal judges the most of them, in states where republican senators need pa tronage for re-election to the senate this fall. Senator Overman, a mem ber of the senate judiciary commit tee, is opposing the bill with facts and figures that have made many of. the republican senators uncomfort able. He says that at most not more than 10 judges are needed and that. the bill is brought ..forward simply to furnish more pie for the, party now in power as every one of these ' judges will of course be a republican. The senator points out that one rea son many of the court dockets are crowded with cases is' because the - sitting judges do not attend to their duties; they loaf on the job, continue cases that ought to be striken from ' the dockets and take long vacations. : Many cases on the pockets hre draft 1 cases, that should be disposed or in ,: ..short.'order. viw.w vp ,', :.'

' .'f.;V'( .-, , - :f ; :. - The "stuntV meeting 6f the ' Ki wanians at the HodgewelL yesterday at one o'clock fully lived up to its appelation. " Twenty members were present and four visitors. First on the program was a busi ness session in which it was resolved to invite the members of the Green ville Kiwams lub to Hendersonville sdme time in the-near future. This was done once before and the local attendance was very poor, so it is hoped that every member will turn nut on the dav the visitors are here An unusual and very entertaining feature put on by the stunt commit tee was that each member introduced himself as the man below him at the table. No end of merriment was coused when F. S. Wetmur ' intro duced himself as Mack Rhodes and stated that he was still on the fence as to the meat .ordinance. The fun increased as each man rose in turn, many old scores were adequately payed off, and many witty but kind ly quips were made. Walter Smith created a comic situation by causing a waiter to up set a trav of dishes unon him. A resolution was made and passed that Walter pay for. the broken dish es; and it is stated on good authority that he, oblivious to the fact that It was stunt day, is still under the impression that he must "pay up" and is trying to borrow money from his mends. A. R. Hanson, whom the Kiwan ian 8" to consider their most ty pical Romeo,was very appropriately presented with a baby cnicKen m a nest bv Chester Glenn. . A prize consisting of a jumping jack and an Easter, bunny was the award to F. St Wetmur for his faith fulness, in attendance. V. Delkrhtful music was i furnished bv dinner : was' served, every one was well pleased. " FIRE PREVENTION WEEJC President Harding, in his recent proclamation, has designated the week of April 16-22 as Forest Pro tection Week, and April 22 as the Golden Anniversary of Arbor Day. The President has directed attention ana perpecuaimg our ioresis, ana na suggested ' the desirability of action by officers of public institutions, along with others, to get the people in the cities and rural communities to co-operate in a general fire pre vention campaign. REXALL ONE CENT SALE 1 Hendersonville people will wel come gladly the announcement that the Justus Pharmacy is nutting on another of the famous Rexall One Cent Sales. The sale begins April 20th and runs through the 22nd. The.8ale is for the purpose of ad vertising the many products of the Rexall company, and it always en ables, the people to acquire the best toilet articles! rubber goods, lotions and countless other articles at a real saving. The sale is called a one cent sale because the purchaser acquires two articles for one cent more .than the price of one, thus getting prac tically twice as much for his money.

This was at a time when the press and other business were paralized and only beginning to rally from the shock of the world war, help scarce and supplies high in price.

The Board of Trade, at the same time, approved of its agricultural committee's efforts to hold a fair in Hendersonville the coming falL Messrs. John Ewbank, F. W. Shepper and L. J. Penney were appointed a committee to raise the funds there for, it being the sense of the mem bers that at least $1,500 should be subscribed. The agricultural committee, of which John Ewbank is chairman, called the members attention to the fact that a recently enacted city or dinance relating to fees and inspec tions of meat offered for sale in Hen dersonville by farmers had created some misunderstanding in the rural section and that his committee had unanimously gone on record as being opposed to certain features of the ordinance. He requested similar ac tion on the part of the parent body, which request was granted, the chair being empowered to appoint a com mittee to appear at the next meet ing of the council with a respectful request that the council modify or amend the ordinance so that no hardships would be encountered by either the city or the farmer. It was stated that the mayor had already gone on record as being willing to foster a modification.

Spartanburg again won from the local team by a score of 6 to 1, which should never haVe been. Manager Moyer took thp pitchers' box and deserved far better support than he had. Moyer struck out 10 men while Reynolds fanned only three for the Spartans. Mike Kelly, the Spartans' lo quacious manager, let himself in for a severe barrage of ragging when a few trial remarks disclosed the fact that his armor was weak and his self-control out of whack. From the second inning on a few remarks from the grandstand would So in furiate Mike that the game was a secondary matter and was almost lost track of by the spectators. Altho' Kelly went away with the game, he left at least one thing be hind, towit, his goat. , V ,., The box score: 1 Spartanburg AB. R. H. PO. A.
