THE "noble army" of Office seekers
has an idea that all the world wants an
office, and it is not unlikely that those
who are harrassed by these gentry al
90 get the idea that everyone wants an
office. But In fact not one man in ten
ever sought an office or could be In
duced to abandon his business for such
employment. Most men of ability have
plenty to do and can make more money
out of office than in it. This larger
class OF citizens is the friend of civil
service reform and rules. They want
the public business attended to by
competent men and know that under
the old spoils system this cannot be.
Those who are fighting the reform or
objecting to 1t are those few who are
out Of Office and cannot get in on mer-
1t, but hope to obtain position by
) partisan favor.
