Civil Service reform" she said. "affirms and
contends for the principle that public Offices insti-
tut=d for the public service and paid for by the
public money public property and not the prop
cry Of a political party or of individual. This
IS Of course. the democratic principle opposed
the question Of privilege. There two diff
ferent aspects in which II is democratic. First in
asserting the right Of the people a whole 10
good and honest service, uninfuenced by any pri-
interests, from the civil servants. whose sal
aries paid from taxes levied all the people;
second. in asserting that every person who Is At
has z right TO try for place IN the public service,
whether he or she has friend at court or not.
Mrs. Lowell recalled the method employed by
absolute mona rchies Of old in distributing Offices
and declared that il very correctly illustrates the
system Of appointments under the 'spoils' regime.
for there also it is the "infooence' one can COM
rnand and not merit fitness that obtains the

question, because when industry. intelligence and
honest devotion 10 duty are the qualities which

PROMINENT CLUB REPRESENTA-
TIVES TO MEET HER

One Of the most brilliant receptions in the his
tory Of the West End Woman's Republican Club
was held yesterday at the cubroom in Broadway.
Three hundred and fifty women, including repre-
sentatives OF all the prominent women's clubs of
the city were present The guests OF honor were
Mrs. Seth Low. Mrs. Cornelius Zabriski, president
of the New-York State Federation of Clubs; Mrs
Charles H. Denison, president of Sorosis and Miss
Martin. president of the College Woman's
Club.
The brief remarks of each guest were comph-
nentary OF the practical work done by the West
End Club. Mrs Low Graciously expressed her
pleasure being present, and later remarked that
she was really sorry have the afternoon come TO
Mrs Zabriskie illustrated her point in favor of the
work of the association by saving that the subject
Whether women's political clubs were beneht
to the community had once been discussed at an
upstate meeting, and she had cited the West End
a practical fact in the affirmative NO one
however, found with sufficient courage 10 take
the negative side of the question
Mrs Denison asserted that political queStlons are
now more generally discussed than ever before In
Republican families especially because the women
have intelligent opinions and II she ever decided 10
join a second club she should ask for ADMISSION 10
the West End. Miss Irwin-Martin spoke Of the IN
fiuence Of woman in all departments of life. and
praised Mayor Low for his interest in educational
matters and his high ideals Of citizenship. which
commended him 10 all right minded men and
women.
