supporters of Payne. For the pres
ent the movement for the repeal is
limited to these two gentlemen. Mr..
Aaron Shaw OF Illinois is a new
member who was born in 1911, and
who has not adopted the civil SER
vice views of our time. Speaking
of the introduction of his bill, he
frankly said: Eyes, l introduced
the bill because I thought it was
right. l have always been against
such nonsense. | do not believe in
any such tomfoolery. l do not think
there should be a law to interfere
with the rights of the dominant
party in any such way. This law
will keep an army of oficeholders
in the way when we come into pow
er who will play hide-and-seek with
us and keep our fellows out of their
rights. | want to get our fellows in,
and get this law out of the way. 1t
is all tomfoolery any how. It is
contrary to the spirits of our institu-
tions. l do rot think the President
or anybody has any right to inter
fere in any such way with the pat
ronage, and do not want to be die
tated to by any Commissioners In
any such manner. Am against the
law from top to bottom and always
have been"
Clay of Kentucky, the other Dem
ocrat who proposes to repeal the
civil service law, says: 81 intro
duced that bill because l consider
the law as it stands upon the statute
books perfect farce. [ am not OPP
posed to civil service reform. On
the contrary, | am in favor of it,
and | intend to introduce another
bill embracing the clauses of the
present law relating to assessments
of oAiceholders and the other few
good features of the act; but the
idea of compelling all applicant for
a nine hundred dollar place as copy
ist to pass q rigid examination in
plain and spherical trigonometry,
analytical geometry and algebra is
absurd in the extreme. Why, un-
der such an examination | doubt if
there is man in Congress to-day
who could pass successful exami-
nation for minor clerkship before
the Civil Service Commission"
These unquestionably are fair i'll
ustrations of Democratic opinion on
this important subject

war on civii Service neforn..

Certain Democrats in Congress
have begun the war on Civil Service
Reform. They want to make a
clean sweep-aotea they get into
power. The subjoined IS from the
Boston Journal.
Two Democratic Representatives
have introduced bills to repeal the
civil service law. They are Clay of
Kentucky and Shaw Of Illinois.
These are the only gentlemen who
have 50 fsy had the courage of their
convictions. There has been much
talk in the inner Democratic circles
of opposition to the law, but it had
beel doubted whether any Repre-
sentative would deem it wise, on the
eve of Presidential election, to ven
ture the simple repeal Of the bill
Tle defeat of Pendleton in Ohio
howoyer, has given the Democrats
new courage, and while Illinois and
Kentucky have led the way, it is
expected that the effective work to
ward the undermining of the civil
service law will be done by Ohio
Democrats IN the House, notably
those who wee The most steadfa3t

1t is by no means ereditable to
the Democratic party that their
leading men should show so strong
a repugnance to the idea of a non
part san Civil Service. The late
Senator Pendleton of Ohio was re-
fused re election mainly because of
his share in passing the Civil Ser
vice Bill now in force. There are
at present two bills before the
House of Representatives, both in.
troduced by Democrats, for the re-
peal of that Act. Could the Demo-
cratic party obtain the presidency
and control of both Houses, there is
little doubt that Civil Service re-
form would have to go; unless in
deed they could patch up some kind
of bill under guise of Civil Service
Reform for the pcrpetuation of
their own Montreal Star.
