which the best Civil Service inlhe world 10 conducted
This is a Democratic country; Office Is made for
man and not man for office; and the offices be-
long 10 those--who 10 for them. The business OF
the Government Is the education OF the cizens es-
pecialy in politics. aud politics is getting yourself In
Office aud keeping the other man out There is no more
popular cry q campaign than Principles, not men :;
and deservedy So it ia always safer to deal with the
principals than with their agents Thus, our excellent
system rests upon the two pillars That the man wants
the office and not Office the man and that education In
foreign service Is a purely educational establish
ment and not as some have meany SAID a reward Tor

the education OF The citizens WRen therefore, we send

Now, Mr.. Chairman, you can understand the bewll-
derment OF mind that ensued when IL was announced
that the President had appointed Minister to the Court

when It appeared that 1t was man who knows
not only the language but the literature OF
Germany, and not only tho literature but the
history, and not only the history but something

geography but European politics. and not only politics
but art and not only art but the MANNERS the social ana

gets established "A precedent, the American youth
