of the United States treasury depart
ment, is another splendid example of
the common people of this republic.
His career aptly illustrates the possibili-
ties for boy whose capital is limited to
energy, pluck and brains. Conditions
have not materially changed since Mr..
Vanderlip started, as a poor boy, to
work in local factory at Aurora, Illi-
nois, and from this humble beginning
attained, at the age Of 81, position
second to cabinet minister. THE Con-
SENTATIVE is indebted to the New York
Evening Post for the following sketch
of the career of this representative of
the common people:
"From machine-shop to the second
place in the treasury department is the
brief story of the career of Frank A.
Vanderlip, who has just retired from
public life to enter private business un
der most fiattering auspices. Mr.. Van
derlip was born in Aurora, ILL.,, about
thirty five years ago, of poor parents.
AS a barefoot boy he seized every op-
portunity to pick up an education; and,
his father dying, he was put to work in
one of the local machine-shops and
learned to be good mechanic. But he
aspired to higher things, and presently
obtained employment on the Aurora
Post, very small sheet, with circula-
tion of 356 copies When not gathering
items as reporter or assisting in the
makeup, he used to help push the cir
culation. When he had mastered all
there was to be learned in Aurora, he
sought wider field in Chicago, and OH
one Of the big dailies took assignments
to describe fires, write up police Incl
dents, and the like. From that work he
was promoted to do the local markets,
then the exchanges, and presently gen.
eral financial reporting. 1t was while
thus engaged that he met Lyman j.
Gage, who took fancy to him for his
untiring industry and shrewd Judgment.

of an investigation
A Disappointment. into the condition
of the Indianapolis
postoffice. 1t shows a most scandalous
condition to exist in that office. Sena-
tors and congressman have made it a
place of refuge for political favorites,
personal friends and superannuated re-
lations-all in direct violation of the
letter and spirit of the civil service law,
which Mr.. Mckinley so solemnly
promised to uphold. The reference
made by the association to the willy
scheme of Senator Beveridge is partic-
ularly interesting as typical of the
methods employed to avoid the law:
"George j. Langsdale, the father-in-
law of Senator Beveridge, was appointed
to the postal service in Porto Rico on
April 15, 1899, without examination, on
the temporary plan. He was trans
ferred to clerkship in the money order
bureau at the New York postoffice on
July 2, 1900. He was placed in the New
York Office and in the classified service
without examination. In New York he
received salary of 81 200. On Febru-
ary 10, 1901, he was appointed book
keeper at the Indianapolis postoffice at a
salary of 81 roo. He is not a trained ac-
countant; there is no work for him to
do. He is siXty-two years old and in
poor health.
"Charles N. Elliott, secretary of the
republican county committee, and an
active political worker, reported for
duty on or about February 10, 1901, as
the postmaster's private secretary. The
place in this office was created, and the
appointment made, at the request of
Senator Beveridge. Mr.. Elliott, much
to his credit, declined to take the place
when informed at the Office that there
was no need of such an employee"
The condition of the Indianapolis
postofice is illustrative of many
others throughout the country. There
has been general disregard of the civil
service law. Political pulls have had
too much to do in determining the selec-
tion of employees and the creation of
offices. All of which has been greatly
to the detriment of the efficiency and
economy of the public service. Mr.. Nc
Kinley is almost as consistent in fulfill
ing his civil service reform pledges as he
is III carrying out his promises for Cuban
independence and lf-government or as
he was in the performance of "plain
duty" to Porto Rico.

REFORM.


day. The disinterested members of all
parties agree that political association
should be no more considered in the ap-
plicant for public position than should
partisan affiliation determine the choice
of an individual for employment in a
private business. President Cleveland
greatly stimulated the growth of these
liberal ideas during his second admins
tration by sweeping extension of the
merit system among government en-
ployees.
In 1896 the platform adopted at Chi
cago repudiated the work of Mr.. Cleve-
land, openly attacked the merit system
and advocated a limited tenure in the
public service. The declaration of the
platform and the Interpretation of it by
the candidate alienated from the party
almost the entire support of the friends
of civil service reform. The latter
while repelled by the position of this
party were attracted by the record of
the opposing candidate, who, as a mem
ber of congress, had been consistent
advocate of civil service reform.
In his first inaugural address Mr.. Nc
Kinley took no backward step but made
this patriotic declaration of his views
relative to the civil service:
Reforms in the civil service must go
on. But the changes should be real and
genuine, not per-
inaugural Address. functory or pro-
NOTED by zeal in
behalf of any party simply because it
happens to be in power. AS member
of congress, voted and spoke in favor
of the present law, and I shall attempt
it's enforcement in the spirit in which it
was enacted. The purpose in view was
to secure the most efficient service Of
the best men who would accept appoint
ment under government, retaining faith
full and devoted public servants in office,
but shielding none, under the authority
of any rule or custom, who are ineffici-
ent, incompetent, or unworthy. The
best interests of the country demand
this, and the people heartily approve
the law wherever and whenever it has
been thus administered.
The friends of civil service reform
were delighted with this wise and
patriotic declaration. 1t was welcomed
with genuine enthusiasm among those
who believed in the merit system. They
looked upon the new president as man
who would faithfully and fearlessly en-
force the civil service law and continue
the splendid work begun by Mr.. Cleve-
land. Mr.. Mckinley has just completed a
term of four years service as chief execu.
tive. Has his administration fulfilled
the expectations of those who were so en-.
thusiastic over his civil service reform
