More Extended Civil Service Demanded

WASHINGTON, April Six Secretary
Endieott, in company with his successor,
Secretary Proctor, called on the president
this afternoon. He atterward talked
quite freely with a reporter. He said he
felt relieved at being once more n private
citizen and added: THE president does
not seem to be looking very well. He
evidently needs rest. The American peo-
pie put too much strain on the president.
The work ought to be delegated. and the
time is near at hand when it will have to
be. Our great need is more extended
civil service. This is the only government
where there is 4 scramble for ofice-un.
dignIicd and unpatriotic; and until the
tenure is made secure aLf places are filled
with good men, the president will be over
burdened. Look at England. There is
a free government and there the men who
desire to enter the employ OF the govern
ment are tested thoroughly. If found
competent they are offered every induce
ment to stay in the service. With he
life time of the generation now being born
there will be in this country an army of
officials three hundred thousand strong.
Civil service will be a necessity, and then
the president will have to be relieved of
his drudgery of appointments by the
heads Of departments, because no one
man will be able to do the work. The
reform would not commence too soon if it
were put into operation at once.
