Sunday morning globe., 1901-10-27

II has been announced from the White
House that Hon William Dudley Foulke
Of Indiana, will be one Of the board of Civil
Service Commissioners The SUNDAY
GLOBE congratulatcs the President upon
this appointment We believe it is a good
one. Mr. Foulke IS an earnest consistent
Civil Service Reformer He is, moreover,
a man Of talent and courage. The field he
has entered is gorgcd with baruacles,
cookie and tares and needs wedding badly.
He can't commence too soon TO suit the
departments iu Washington
We invite his attention particularly TO the
Civil Service record of one of Mr. Clevc-
lands hod-overs, who politically, claims
TO be Gold Democrat The GLOBE has ex-
posed the gentlemans record pretty thor
oughly the past summer. and we are not
through yet by a long shot 1t Is very
doubtful if he has any weldehned political
ideas or principles He is a frstclass
sehemer and promoter In order that the
new commissioner may have the benefit of
good, sound advice we again draw upon
the record in our possession.

eternally opposed TO the retention in office,
under any administration, Of men who,
upon their own admission, are guilty of
violating law. We turn to the record once
more to show that sombody preyaricated
