THE JEFFERSONIAN, TOWSON, MARYLAND POSTOFFICE DEPARTMENT STILL DISCRIMINATES AGAINST EX-SERVICE MEN Willingness To Violate Civil Service Law And Spurn Former Fighters Supplied By Department's Action In Appointing And Retaining Postmaster Notwithstanding Failure In Examination. (From the Washington Correspondent of The Jeffersonian.) New proofs of the Republican's administration's willingness to violate the civil service laws and spurn former service men are supplied by the Post Office Department's action in appointing and retaining a postmaster in a little town in Arkansas notwithstanding his failure to make the requisite grade in an examination. The vacancy to be filled occurred in June, 1922. The competitive examination was held on August 5, 1922, and the list of eligibles certified by the Civil Service Commission to the Post Office Department on September 7, 1922. A Republican who had been appointed temporary postmaster took the examination. His grade was 45.20 per cent. A former service man who is a Democrat made a grade of 85.60 per cent. A former service man who is a Republican also competed and stood second on the list of eligibles. The Republican State machine interposed to prevent the appointment of a new postmaster, and after nearly nineteen months the temporary ap-pointe still holds the ob. The Republican former service man grew tired of waiting for recognition and left the State. The Democratic former service man who was highest in the list of eligibles, continues to be denied the appointment. The incompetent politician remains as postmaster. The Post Office Department has been urged to give a reason for its retention of the temporary appointee, but evades. No explanation is necessary, however, since the Republican SState machine has already made everything clear by its opposition to any but a partisan. FIREMAN SUSPENDED OWNS OLDEST GOOSE IN COUNTY. Mr. William Lytle, of White Hall, possibly is the owner of the oldest goose in the county, it having attained the remarkable age of forty-five years, and has laid eggs every year of her long life, and apparently is as hearty and strong as ever. RANDAIiLSTOWN WOMAN INDISPOSED. Mrs. J. Henry Clagett, of Randalls-town, has been quite ill with grippe. Charges To Be Preferred Against Member Of Dundalk Company By Chief. Philip G. Priester, Chief Engineer of the Baltimore County Fire Department, has suspended Wm. T. Walsh, a member of the Dundalk Fire Company on charges of failing to obey the orders of his superior officer. Walsh, who is a resident of Tow-son, states that a few days prior to his suspension he gave the Fire Chief notice that he would quit May 1st. Owing to the illness of Chief Priester formal charges have not been lodged against the man with the Board of County Commissioners. PATRON'S CLUB MEETS Poplar Organization Hears Talk By Representative Of State Health Department. The Patron's Club of Poplar School held a meeting recently. After the regular routine of business various committees were appointed by the President, Mrs. O. Davis, as follows: Mrs. Allman, membership; Mrs. John Fischer, reception; and F. B. Fischer, publicity. ~ Dr. Josiah Bowen, a representative of the State Board of Health, with headquarters at Towson, gave an interesting talk on contagious diseases and their origin. At the close of the meeting a joint committee, consisting of trustees of schools adjacent to the Philadelphia Road, was instructed to appear before the School Board, requesting that body to give better facilities to pupils in the eastern section of the county desiring a high school education. TAX LAW REPEALED GOOD NEWS FOR GIRLS They Merely Have To Say "Over 21" When They Go To Polls To Register. Girls, you don't have to tell your age any more. The gallant General Assembly, as one of its last acts, passed a bill exempting women from the requirement that they state their exact ages when registering for voting. Hereafter a superior smile and the ambiguous words "over twenty-one" will be the general answer given to inquisitive registrateon clerks who want to know the age of the applicant. The number of women who bravely divulged this most precious secret to vote in past elections is expected to be greatly swelled by those who wouldn't answer such a hofrid question. System of Publishing Names Of Those In Arrears Has Short Life. Upon the request of the County Commissioners the law passed at the last session of the Legislature requiring the Treasurer of Baltimore coun-to to publish names of all delinquent taxpayers in December, was repealed by the General Assembly just adjourned. It is understood that instead of advertising a list of delinquents in the newspapers, bills will be mailed.

(Continued from Page 1) Scheeler, and his brother, Walter Scheeler on February 11, and died after being taken to a physician's office at Hampstead. Marshal of Police Carroll E. Stans-bury and other witnesses testified that the prisoner said that his father called him out of the house to kill a hawk, and that he slipped and fell and the gun was accidentally discharged. It was testified that the prisoner was intoxicated when arrested. The only witness offered for the defense was Thomas E. Baker, whom it was stated would testify that the Elder Stiffler had declared that he was accidentally shot. The evidence was excluded by the Court on the ground that it was not shown that the deceased had disclosed that he believed he was going to die before making the alleged statement. ----------o---------- VALUE OF MINISTER TO COMMUNITY TOLD BY TOWSON CLERGYMAN. Too Often Folks Think Parson Is Hired To Preach Twice On.Sunday And Fuss Around To Make His Church Known And Flourish. (Continued from Page 1) are the tasks which draw a virile young man into the work of the ministry is to show a lack of appreciation of the minister. It is true that the status of the minister has changed with the changing years. And if his position has changed it has not been for the worse. Rather does he stand as a more valuable person in a community than he did before. If he is of value to a community the question can well be asked: "In what respect?" It may be answered by saying that he is of value for what his name implies—a minister. There is no need in a community which does not awaken his sympathy and enlist his aid. It is of little concern to him that the needy is not a member of his church. He is in that place to help wherever he can. If his work calls him to a part of the world where men live who work with their hands he finds more work to do than hours are given him in which to do it. To him they come with questions of wages and justice. He is the confidant to whom they open their hearts. Few of the socialistic writers who rant about the decay of the church and the uselessness of the minister know the hours that he spends in the homes of the humble workers of the world teaching them to observe the rules of justice and fair play. Not often are employers conscious of the voice that is raised in behalf of peace. He may wonder that his employees are not as others and may take credit to himself, but an awakening awaits him if he will visit the little church in which many of his workers gather and listen to the preaching of the true son of the prophets. And he may wonder where some of his workers gain their incentive to demand that justice be done them and their children. Again let him hear the follower of the Nazarene as he preaches to those who. have for years felt the heel of an unjust employer. If anyone thinks that this is not the work of the preacher let him listen to the preacher of the "red flag" and then compare the two messages. The preacher of the church demands justice for his brethren, but he demands it in tones of love and fraternity and not as one who preaches violence. The message that he gives to a listening world is a message written in the Golden Rule. If the minister is called to the parish where men of wealth live then his message is still the same. In this place he teaches that wealth is not the sole property of the one who happens to hold it. He teaches that it is given as a trust. If we think that somehow this is a work that is not the right of the minister to perform them we need to study again the Lefe that controls the true minister in the Church. There is a unique value that the The minister's study has seen many when the message of need is carried to him. Neighbors may know that there is need next door, but somehow they hesitate to make that offer. The minesteer's study has seen many times the good but fearful neighbor telling of the distress of his friend up the street. He knows that the minister will tactfully and kindly find some way to help without broadcasting the fact that help has been given. Leading men in worship constitute a value that is second to none. The great work of aiding in worship is not one to be taken on lightly by any. The minister needs to search his soul always to keep himself worthy. To do this requires hours of personal devotion unknown to even his family. But the result is a power to make men see their need of God. James Russell Lowell once wrote: "The worst kinti. of relegioh is no religion at all, and these men, living in ease and luxury, indulging themselves in the amusement of going without a religion may be thankful that they live in a land where the gospel they neglect has tamed the beastliness and ferocity of the men who, but for Christianity, might long ago have eaten their carcasses like the South Sea Islandeers, or cut off their heads and tanned their hides, j like the monsters of the French Rev- j olution." The minister has upon j his heart the love of his fellows and j he seeks to make them men who will I recognize their indpendence upon | God and His Son. This is not al- j ways done in public worshep, but here the minister works his best. The effect of the worship in the church reaches further than many suppose. Men who perhaps never visit the church are nevertheless affected in their daily living? To be a true minister means that a man will let go everything that will lessen his value in this regard. The minister is the messenger of friendliness. As he visits home after home people who see him go in and out know that he is bent upon a mission in which friendship forms a large part. Where is there another man in the community who bears this same relationshep to his neighbors? The burden of keeping a community sweet rests upon the shoulders of the minister. The position in the social scale does not affect his message. You may live south or north of a certain street; you may wear expensive clothes or be clothed in rags, but if you will give him the chance you will find the minister knows you as friend. He has a message that is not awed by a palace and is not ashamed to be seen in a hut. His value is the value of friendship.
