ure in office, though the Chicago plat
form alleges that it does. 1t means
simply that the meritorious shall have
preference, the qualified shall be chosen
and that minor positions under the Gov
ernment shall not be made rewards for
political hirelings. 1t bars out no one.
1t opens the door of honest competition
on merit for any citizen to serve the
Government. It does not assure any
man of a life term in office. 1t is simply
a means to secure fit persons to do work
for the National Government. 1t puts
all upon level in aspiration and op-
portunity, if fit and capable to enter the
service of the Government in subordi-
nate positions. When the Chicago
platform asserts by the declara-
ton that it favors equal op-
portunities to all citizens of ascertained
fitness that Civil Service Reform does
not afford equal opportunities to all citi-
zens of ascertained fitness, it deals in
untruth. The simple truth is that the
system is intended to crafty the spoils-
men, and is a bid for their compact sup
port of those who put party before
country, and the pickings and stealings
OF Office before honest service by inde-
pendent men, who are not under COW of
party or made to doff their caps when a
political boss passes by. But it is COM
forting to know that there are thou
sands of Democrats who do not indorse
the assault and will not give it counte-
nance though the party asks it of them.
