The United States Civil Service
Commission has announced an ex-
amination to be held at Hebbronville,
Texas, as a result of which it is ex-
pected to make certification t<> fill a
Thompsonvilie, Texas, and other va-
cancies as they may occur nt that of-

interest of the service to fill any va-
cancy by reinstatement. The compen- circulated as the fim step in
sation of the postmaster at this of-
fice was $641.00 for the last fiscal
year.
Applicants must have reached their
twenty-first birthday on the date off
the examination, with the exception-j

superior to the Supreme Court, and
intimated broadly that the Highest
Court, in matters Effecting labor,
should be governed in its decision by
the wishes of the Labor Piu ty. This
is regarded m higher circles the
height of arrogance and the Supreme
Court has grown more or less alarm-
ed that anyone or any party should
assume to dictate to it.
Excelsior, the leading newspaper
of Mexico City, recently created a
sensation by making a vigorous at-
tack on the Judiciary, charging that
judges in various branches were
open to bribery and sold their opin-
ions to the highest bilder. The paper
even went so far as to declare that
the charges could be proven if de-
mands were made, and many are of
the opinion that Excelsior was not
far wrong, as its “responsible edi-
tor," who was arrested, was held
only a couple of days and then re-
leased when it became known that
•‘the paper was prepared to prove its
charges." The attack on the Judi-
ciary is believed to have been inspir-
ed by Morones, as the editorial ap-
peared shortly after the Labor Party
had proclaimed itself superio rto tho
Supreme Court.
Reports of t revolutionary move-

of Obregon, who, it seems, was not
killed in a reported engagement with
the Vaqui Indians, although such re-
port was circulated and believed by
the people generally in many sec

now claimed that Obregon never led

essentially a cotton county. It was
