BAIRD WOULD USE
RETIRED OFFICERS
Wants Those of Petty Rank
in Departments.
AS WATCHMEN AND FIREMEN
Argues That Their Work in Army and
Navy Satisfies Demands of
Civil Service.

The employment of honorably dis
charged petty officers of the army,
navy, and marine corps as watchmen
and firemen in the department service,
without further examination, is recon-
mended to the Civil Service Commits
sion by Superintendent Baird of the
State. War. and Navy Building
superintendent Baird thinks the
change would improve greatly the ef-
ficiency and. trustworthiness of the
service.
Trained to Discipline.
He thinks the fact that the men whose
appointment he desires have held places
as subordinate officers in the military
service of the country and have been
honorably discharged with this dis
tinction should be sufficient evidence of
their fitness. They are accustomed to
discipline and would make model watch
men.
On the same principle, he believes that
machinists, who have been honorahly
discharged from the navy, would make
admirable firemen for Government build
ings- In most cases. he holds, these
places are now filed by negroes from
the Southern States. and the superinten-
extends, has found their services by no
means satisfactory. For the most part,
he says, the negroes are strong and
willing. but they lack the intelligence
and the habit CT care which result in
the maximum of heat In their furnaces
with the minimum combustion OF coal.
As to Character
Applicants for these places, which pay
$60 month, are now required to furn-
ish certificates of their good character.
Ordinarily such evidences are not diff
cult to obtain from persons whose good
nature or desire to help a friend over
comes their veracity.
In the case of petty officers of the
army and navy, who are interested in
the efficiency OF the Government service
and who would be appealed to necessar-
ily TO furnish certificates of the charac-
ter of old soldiers, the Government
might rely with confidence upon their
expressed opinions.
