DONE WISELY AND WELL.

Iuasmuch as il has been decided that
in the absence Of more specific legisla-
tiou the offices under the District govern
ment cannot be brought within the pale
OF the civil service law, the Commissioners
have done wisely to institute the reform
themselves without waiting for Congress
soual action. Competitive examinations
are to govern in all appointments, and
every person appointed VIII hold his place
for a probationary period of SIX months
only If at the end OF that time the
neophyte is found incompetent he is simply
dropped as a matter OF course; if competent,
a regular appointment is given him and his
tenure OF office is secure.
Patronage and pun, therefore, are things
OF the past, so iar as District offices are
/ concerned. Merit is the ruling factor.
/ Congressman whose constituents fail to
! pass the civil service examination for
positions under the Federal government
! can no longer foist them upon the District
/ which has been too long the fat grazing
ground for that sort of people. To the
| civil service principle that other one Of
!
| one appointed that has not been bona fide
resident of the District for a reasonable
length of time.
About 500 positions are in the gift Of
the Commissioners, not including the school
teachers, to whom the new order of things
does not apply, inasmuch as their appoint
lnent aud tenure uf office are already deter
mined by severe tests. 1t is 20 be regarded as
| especially important that the police force
is embraced in it, for upon an officer S
Intelligence very often hinge vital interests.
! Altogether the operation of the new rule
VIII be watched with considerable interest,
nor can il be doubted that it viii prove
the wisdom of the Commissioners and pro-
duce results greatly beneficial to all inter
ested in coed government in the District.
