The Portland daily press., 1899-01-10

The present would seem to be particu-
larly inopportune time to weaken or dc.
stroy ths civil service law. II we are going
to govern colonies the need of men in Office
Tilted for their duties will be greater
than ever. AT home our civil officers are
under the watchl,l eye of the people, and
If they are incompetent or dishonest they
are soon exposed. But out in the island
of Luzon there will be no watchful PEOPLE
and no public sentiment to keep them
within bounds. A dishonest official there
can steal almost ad libitum. and an in
competent one can do an infinite amount
of mischief before he is found out and ex.
posed. In recent interview Senator
Frye warned the country that it would
not succeed in colonial government, II it
turned it over to adventurous or political
hacks. Spain's failure to govern her colo.
nies properly was due to dishonest and in
competent officials more than to any
thing elsa. Her colonial officers were
selected by political pulls and influence.
II we copy her method of filling the offices
we shall succeed no better. England
adopts the true policy. 1t chooses men
because of their fitness, and when 1t gets
q good man it keeps him. That is what
we must do If our colonial administration
Is not to be failure. Just now our heads
are q little enlarged and We think we can
do everything successfully in almost any
way we choose. We shall find, however,
that We shall make good many blunders
and have a good many failures recorded
to our disoredit. We can't avoid all
errors, but we can avoid many by study
ing the ways of successful colonists like
the English and following them as far
as possible.
