An Alabama delegate who died sud

Methodist Ecumenical Conference in
London was at one time a director in
a Selma bank. The bank failed. There
upon ne disposed of all his property
devoted the proceeds. so far as they
would go, toward paying OF the banks
indebtedness-and died poor. There is
no doubt about the religion of a man
like that. and it was eminently fitting
that he should represent his church at
a gathering where its great men met

POLITICAL PULLS WILL NOT
INFLUENCE APPOINT MENTS

and representatives have had some dis
appointment because the persons in
whom they are interested have not re-
ceivd the appointments and stations
applied for by them. but the admins
tration as whole is evidently of the
opinion that the good sense and judS-
ment of public men will lead to the
same conclusion as that arrived at by
the President and secretary of war;
that is. if a system of records be thor
oughly established at the War Depart
ment, showing the progressive work OF
officers from year 10 year, 1t Will be
far better for the officers and men. as
well as public officials. that such
register be made the guide for selec-
tions. details, etc. rather than infiu-
ence. The appeals of individuals TO
their congressman for their personal
assistance in the matters above emu
merated necessitates public men CIV
ing up great deal of their time IN
locating the proper office ut which 10
apply for information and the filing OF
appeals. This takes them away from
their legitimate duties while Congress
Is in session. and also interferes great
ly with the public administration of
the departments 1t is fully recoS-
nized by public officials that the proper
men in the first instance to estapllsh
the character of an applicant for office
are the senators and representatives
from their own home, and it is emf
nently just and proper that their infu-
ence should be respected and they
should be responsible for the character
of the persons recommended for office;
but once in the public service, it Is
only fair to the administration that not
only army officers. but all other classes
of public office holders, should rely
upon their own merits and not upon
the further use of political influence.
