MANY CHANGES NECESSARY.
IneGlcient Railway Mail Clerks Have 10
Make Way for Their Betters.

make way IoF IuelF DettoEbs
WASHINGTON, April 17,-Since March
4, about 500 changes have been made in the
personnel of the railway mail service. First
Assistant Postmaster General Clarkson, in
speaking of the matter to-day, said that it
has been the policy of the department to
displsce incompetent clerks and appoint ex-
perienced and thoroughly efficient men who
left the service during the last administra-
tion, where such were available, and desir-
Gus of re-entering the service. Of course,
he said, men whose faculties have become
impaired or whose thorough fitness has be-
come questionable, will not be reinstated.
The railway mail service, Mr.. Clarkson
continued, requires men not only of superior
intelligence, but men whose faculties are in
perfect working order; men who possess
every requirement of the service are COM
paratively few and are not easily secured,
but when such are found they should be re-
tained in the service as long as possible.
Efficiency in the postal service can be OBJ
tanned only after long struggle and to re-
move such men to make places for political
favorites, irrespective of their fitness, is
public wrong and should not be tolerated
by the public.
