the exhibition Of. better examples, we
may wisely 60 on to the abolition of
unnecessary officers, and finally 10 the
patient, careful organization of better
civil service system, under tests wher-
ever practicable, of proved competency
and fidelity. While much may be ac-
complished by these methods, it might
Encourage Delusive Expectations
if withhold here an expression OF my
conviction that no reform of civil service
in this country will be complete and
permanent until its chief mag
istrate is constitutionslly disquali-
fed for reelection, experience
having repeatedly exposed the
futility of the self-imposed restric-
tions. by candidates or incumbents.
Through this sOlemnity only can he be
etfectually delivered from his greatest
temptation to misuse the power and pat
ronage with which each executive is nee
essarily charged. Educated in the belief
that it is the fist duty of y citizen ofthe
Republic to
Take Hts Fair Allotment Of Care and
Trouble
in public affairs, l have for forty years
as q private citizen fulfilled that duty,
Though occupied in an unusual degree
during all that period with the concerns
OF the government, have never acquir-
ed the habit of official life. When q year
and half ago entered upon my pres
ent trust, it was in order to coRsumate re-
forms to which l had already devoted
several of the last years of my life,
knowing as 1 do, therefore from fresh
experience how great the difference is
between gliding through an official rou-
tine and
Working Out a Reform
of Systems and policies, it is impossible
Tor me to contemplate what needs to be
done in the federal administration with
out an anxious sense of the difficulties
of the undertaking. If summoned by
the suflrages of my countrymen TO at
tempt this work, | shall endeavor with
Gods help to be the efficient instrument
of their will.
