pR1TCHARD ON CIVIL SERVICE.
A Bully Good Thing, But Il Little Too
Pic-1ight.
washington post.l

The Senate Committee on Civil Service
is ON the point of entering upon long
and interesting investigation. The text
of the inquiry, so to speak, will be the
cases of the employees of the Department
Of Agriculture in South Omaha who were
summarily removed, it is charged, be-
cause they displayed the pictures of
Bryan in their windows. If this asser-
ton be true it shows that the discharges
were made in direct violation of the Civil
Service idea that no removals shall be
made for political purposes. 1t has not
yet been determined whether the wit
nesses shall come to Washington or
whether a subcommittee shall go to
South Omaha to take the necessary tes-
timony. AS soon as a determination has
been reached the investigation will begin.

tor pritchard, the chairman of the COM

genuine Civil Service reformers do not
want their favorite law swept from the

us in the attempt TO secure wise and
sensible notifications. If these changes
