On the civil service question as on
most other questions there is a mid
die ground more desirable than either
extreme. In all Offices requiring
special qualifications or where long
experience is required to properly
discharge the duties OF the office. the
civil service rules should prevail. Ef-
ficiency in conducting public business
as well as Justice to the Office holder,
who thoroughly fits himself for his
special line Of work demand that his
tenure Of Office shall not depend upon
the uncertainties of party politics.
On the other hand there are large
number of places whose duties re-
quire no special fitness where hon
esty and industry count for more
than capability. Such offices are best
managed rs rule when classed as
patronage" offices. Ii Is to the in
terest Of party leaders 10 have the
places well filled and they will see to
1t that only men who can be relied on
are placed where their misconduct
might jeopardize party interests "A
new broom sweeps clean" is maxim
not inapplieable Civil service is all
right and the people Of the nation are
well pleased with its enforcement, but
it must not be extended to take in
everything.
