Tonight a number of citizens who believe
in the best kind of good government pro-
pose to organize a local civil service reform
league, the object of which is mainly to
bring about a most desirable condition Of
affairs, viz, the removal of all District ap-
pointments from politics and the extension
to that end of civil service rules. There
never was any reason really worthy of con-
sideration why a mans political beliefs
should have anything to do with his admin
istrative or clerical fitness, and the absence
of that reason Is more conspicuous here
than in any other city m the country. Here
we have no local politics. and here should
the example be set for every other NUM-
cipalty that suffers from bondage to the
doctrine of spoils. Efficiency should be the
only test; any other standard is unbusiness-
like and improper. The application OF civil
service principles to the conduct of our local
affairs should not be made in a half-hearted
fashion; the rules should extend to all
branches of our local government, and there
should be the smallest possible number of
exemptions. Already Is there evidence of
the evils consequent upoh the injection of
politics into the police department-where
the authorities are urged to appoint this
man because 1t will liquidate the political
Indebtedness of a Senator from Florida, or
that man. because he controls seven hun
dred votes In South Carolina, and can there
fore be a considerable factor in the re-elec-
ton of a Senator from that state. There
are other such instances that could be pre-
sented, and of all these the proposed league
will doubtless, when 1t gets TO work, take
cognlzance. Washington is a well-governed
city, but 1t is still several per cent short of
being municipality perfect. The reform pro-
posed is unobjectionable. save to the ward
