Parkhurst society. which is pressing the
charges, he said: MIR. Moss, too, when he
was Commissioner, always agreed with

The Seat OF the Government.

Our esteemed correspondent Mr.
HOWARD SMITH is quite right in saying
that the point he raises does not amount
to much:
TO THE EDITOR OF THR SUN--.ar: was very
much surprised to md such misstatemcnt OF fact
as the following in Monday SUN. In an editorial
entitled. The Summer Headquarters of Federal
Administration you say: The Constitution has
made the District OF Columbia the seat of the Gov
eminent OF the United States
Now. it would have been brash for the consti
tuition to have made the District OF Columbia the
seat of Government of the United States when the
Constitution was adopted years before the District
OF Columbia was thought OF as the seat OF Govern
ment.
The Constitution was adopted IN 1888. and the
District OF Columbia was made the seat OF Govern
ment by act OF Congress in 1900
"Ot course the matter does not amount to much,
but the statement In THE Sun is very Inaccurate,
and so your attention Is called TO 1t.
BOSTON, June so. HOWARD SMITH"
To be absolutely accurate, however,
our correspondent should have put the
date of the enactment making the Dis
trict of Columbia the permanent seat Of
Government in the year 1890, not hum
bred and ten years later, in 1900, as for
some reason he prefers to do.
The Constitution defined the seat of
the Government of the United States as
a district, not exceeding ten miles square,
to be established by the cession of par
ticular States and the acceptance Of
Congress. Maryland and Virginia coded
the territory, Congress accepted, and on
July 16, 1890, the statute was enacted
giving local status to the seat of Gov
eminent created by the Constitution.

" When the cat is away,
The mice will play"

Precisely in what way infidelity in the
civil service has promoted intidelity in
the Post Office, the public has not yet
been told. A failure to apply the merit
system in the appointment of women
typewriters has been disclosed, but the
relation of those women to recent re-
movals and indictments has not been
revealed. Neither has there been a
disclosure whether the removed and
indicted officials were all in the classified
service.
The civil service laws and rules are
yet sealed book to the great mass of the
voters, who do not know how many
superior and inferior officers and clerks
there are, all told, in the Government
service; how many are and how many
are not classified; how many must endure
q competitive examination for appoint
ment, or how many are now appointed
under the merit system and how many
under the relic of the aforetme spoils
system.
Since the recent revelation of postal
frauds, the voters probably realize, even
If before that they did not, that the Presi-
dent is finally responsible for failures in
faithful execution of any and all laws.
For each and every failure he is put on
the defensive. The adjective faith
full has deep significance, but the coun-
try does not quite understand the rela-
ton to the postal laws Of the civil service

There is prevalent suspicion, more -

the execution of the civil service laws

have been even more prevalent but for
the belief that the President is an expert
