MUNICIPAL HvsrERIA.

THE COUNTRY would take Chicago
L more seriously if It did not always
90 about its business with a brass band
accompaniment. The arrest Of Mayor
Carter II. Harrison and other city Off
Gals in connection with the Iroquois
theatre disaster VIII startle city OH
Gals elsewhere who have not enforced
their laws and ordinances. but nobody
expects a serious prosecution to follow.
Chicago is just now in the throes Of a
very bad case OF hysteria. She viii
come 10 her senses sooner or later and
the rational Chicago viii probably sub
side into do-nothingness to an extent
shat viii permit all concerned in the
Iroquois affair to escape.
Every state has laws against the
crime of murder. Every city official is
supposed to enforce those laws. Now
does any one suppose 1t would be Tea-
sonable to hold Mayor Morris, for ex-
ample, as an accessory to deaths caused
by the collapse Of a building in salt
Lake City? Yet, arguing on the Chi
cagO theory, whenever something like
chief executive is responsible. Mayor
Harrison may have been lax in en-
forcing the law relative to safety ap-
planes in theatres, bat there is moth
ing in the dispatches to show that he
was guilty Of anything criminal.
He certainly thought the law was be-
ing enforced; he has certainly done
everything IN his power to further the
investigation into the causes for the
great loss OF life in the IroquOis fire and
10 fix the responsibility therefor. It is
difficult to see how q case against him
can be given standing in any court.
The upshot Of the matter is that all
connected with the disaster VIII even
tually be acquitted. for the issues are
being 50 clouded by irrelevsncies that
nothing else seems possible.

MERIT SYSTEM WINS.

THE BEST ARGUMENT The Herald
1 has found for a long time in favor
Of the merit system in appointments to
public Office, is contained in the report
Of the United States civil service. com
mission filed with the president on
Tuesday. The report says: "As a re-
suit of the Investigation into the con-
duct Of business in the pOstohioe depart
ment, a number OF the officers and en-
ployes Of that department have been
indicted. An inspection Of the com
missions record shows that none Of
those indicted entered the service
through competitive examination"
Continuing, the commissioners say
that the merit system has resulted IN
securing not only competent but honest
public employees. And it is a perfectly
reasonable assertion. The individual
who is appointed to public Office solely
because he has rendered some service
to the party in power is never as good
an official as one who wins the place be-
cause he stands highest in an exam
nation based on his qualifications for
that very position. The man who holds
his office because he is a politician feels
much less secure in it than the merit
appointee. Therefore, as q rule, he
oveTlooks no opportunity TO make hay
while the sun Of his prosperity shines.
It is gratifying to note from the re-
port Of the commission that 125. 600 DO
sitiOns under the government are now
embraced under civil service regula-
uGns. That IS TO say, a man cannot be
discharged merely because he happens
to be a Democrat or because he happens
to be a Republican. A long as he does
his work well he is sure Of steady en-
ployment. That is the only way to get
good work and good workers.
