PRESIDENTS APPR0Iy
Rule Modified to Give Ad1~u
Power to Cabinet
Ministers
Likely to Put Some Civil Service
Servants on Good
Behavior

Washington, Oct. 17.-An amend
ment to the civil service rules, sweep
ing and comprehensive in its charac-
ter. was authorized during the day by
President Roosevelt. Hereafter cab
met officer will have the power to re-
move summarily and without hearing
any civil service employe in his de-
partment who, to the personal knowl-
edge of the head Of the department,
has been guilty of misconduct or who
is inefficient in the performance of his
duties. BY the terms Of the amend
ment the cabinet officer must have
personal knowledge of the misconduct
or ineficiency of the employe whom he
proposes to discharge. With this per
sonal knowledge the power Of the head
of the department is absolute.
The amendment authorized Is one Of
the most important and farreaching
made to the civil service rules in
many years. It confers upon cabinet
officers practically unlimited power as
to the personnel Of their departme ents.
The amendment Is made to rule XIII,
section 2, which provides that the ap-
pointing officer in the executive civil
service shall report in detail to the
civil service commission all changes
in their departments as soon as made
and the reasons for making them.
Heretofore, in every case Of the re-
moval of a civil service employe,
charges had to be filed against the
person whom it was proposed to re-
move and the employe was given time
in which to meet the charges with
such defense as ne might have to
make. Under the authorized amend
ment such proceeding will not be
necessary "A head Of a department
may discharge an employee for miscon-
duct or inefhciency with the simple
statement to the civil service commits
sion that the misconduct or ineffciency
Is a subject of his personal observa-
tion. The discharged employe will
have no recourse. s.

But with maturity you lock for something
more; and how many arc the countries n
which you find something lsss-a woman
hood from which the charm Of Wild youth
has vanished without 4 compensation.
These are the countries In which 4 false
social order, an imperfect and partial re-
ligious rule, a low national aspiration, a
split sense of humanity, has blocked or
bew1ldered the upward path for half the
race.
To discover that path and keep 1t clear
